1 И воставше все множество их, ведоша его к пилату,2 начаша же нань вадити, глаголюще: сего обретохом развращающа язык наш и возбраняюща кесареви дань даяти, глаголюща себе Христа Царя быти.3 Пилат же вопроси его, глаголя: ты ли еси Царь иудеом? Он же отвещав рече ему: ты глаголеши.4 Пилат же рече ко архиереом и народу: ни коеяже обретаю вины в Человеце сем.5 Они же крепляхуся глаголюще, яко развращает люди, учя по всей иудеи, начен от галилеи до зде.6 Пилат же слышав галилею, вопроси, аще Человек галилеанин есть?7 И разумев, яко от области иродовы есть, посла его ко ироду, сущу и тому во Иерусалиме в тыя дни.8 Ирод же видев Иисуса рад бысть зело: бе бо желая от многа времене видети его, зане слышаше многа о нем: и надеяшеся знамение некое видети от него бываемо:9 вопрошаше же его словесы многими: он же ничесоже отвещаваше ему.10 Стояху же архиерее и книжницы, прилежно вадяще нань.11 Укорив же его ирод с вои своими и поругався, оболк его в ризу светлу, возврати его к пилату.12 Быста же друга ирод же и пилат в той день с собою: прежде бо беста вражду имуща между собою.13 Пилат же созвав архиереи и князи и люди,14 рече к ним: приведосте ми Человека сего, яко развращающа люди: и се, аз пред вами истязав, ни единыя же обретаю в Человеце сем вины, яже нань вадите:15 но ни ирод: послах бо его к нему, и се, ничтоже достойно смерти сотворено есть о нем:16 наказав убо его отпущу.17 Нужду же имяше на вся праздники отпущати им единаго.18 Возопиша же вси народи, глаголюще: возми сего, отпусти же нам варавву.19 Иже бе за некую крамолу бывшую во граде и убийство ввержен в темницу.20 Паки же пилат возгласи, хотя отпустити Иисуса.21 Они же возглашаху, глаголюще: распни, распни его.22 Он же третицею рече к ним: что бо зло сотвори сей? ничесоже достойна смерти обретох в нем: наказав убо его отпущу.23 Они же прилежаху гласы великими, просяще его на распятие: и устояху гласи их и архиерейстии.24 Пилат же посуди быти прошению их:25 отпусти же бывшаго за крамолу и убийство всаждена в темницу, егоже прошаху: Иисуса же предаде воли их.26 И яко поведоша его, емше симона некоего киринеа, грядуща с села, возложиша нань крест нести по Иисусе.27 Идяше же вслед его народ мног людий, и жены, яже и плакахуся и рыдаху его.28 Обращься же к ним Иисус рече: дщери Иерусалимски, не плачитеся о мне, обаче себе плачите и чад ваших:29 яко се, дние грядут, в няже рекут: блажены неплоды, и утробы, яже не родиша, и сосцы, иже не доиша:30 тогда начнут глаголати горам: падите на ны: и холмом: покрыйте ны:31 зане, аще в сурове древе сия творят, в сусе что будет?32 Ведяху же и ина два злодея с ним убити.33 И егда приидоша на место, нарицаемое лобное, ту распяша его и злодея, оваго убо о десную, а другаго о шуюю.34 Иисус же глаголаше: Отче, отпусти им: не ведят бо что творят. Разделяюще же ризы его, метаху жребия.35 И стояху людие зряще. Ругахуся же и князи с ними, глаголюще: иныя спасе, да спасет и себе, аще той есть Христос Божий избранный.36 Ругахуся же ему и воини, приступающе и оцет придеюще ему,37 и глаголаху: аще ты еси Царь иудейск, спасися сам.38 Бе же и написание написано над ним писмены еллинскими и римскими и еврейскими: сей есть Царь иудейск.39 Един же от обешеною злодею хуляше его, глаголя: аще ты еси Христос, спаси себе и наю.40 Отвещав же другий прещаше ему, глаголя: ни ли ты боишися Бога, яко в томже осужден еси?41 и мы убо в правду: достойная бо по делом наю восприемлева: сей же ни единаго зла сотвори.42 И глаголаше Иисусови: помяни мя, Господи, егда приидеши во Царствии си.43 И рече ему Иисус: аминь глаголю тебе, днесь со мною будеши в раи.44 Бе же час яко шестый, и тма бысть по всей земли до часа девятаго:45 и померче солнце, и завеса церковная раздрася посреде.46 И возглашь гласом велиим Иисус, рече: Отче, в руце твои предаю дух мой. И сия рек издше.47 Видев же сотник бывшее, прослави Бога, глаголя: воистинну Человек сей праведен бе.48 И вси пришедшии народи на позор сей, видяще бывающая, биюще перси своя возвращахуся.49 Стояху же вси знаемии его издалеча, и жены споследствовавшыя ему от галилеи, зрящя сия.50 И се, муж именем иосиф, советник сый, муж благ и праведен51 сей не бе пристал совету и делу их, от аримафеа града иудейска, иже чаяше и сам Царствия Божия:52 сей приступль к пилату, проси телесе Иисусова:53 и снем е обвит плащаницею, и положи е во гробе изсечене, в немже не бе никтоже никогдаже положен.54 И день бе пяток, и суббота светаше.55 Вслед же шедшыя жены, яже бяху пришли с ним от галилеи, видеша гроб, и яко положено бысть тело его:56 возвращшяся же уготоваша ароматы и миро: и в субботу убо умолчаша по заповеди.

Luke 23

Jesus Brought Before Pilate

1 Thent the whole group of them rose up and brought Jesust before Pilate.s2 Theyt began to accuses him, saying, “We found this man subvertingts our nation, forbiddingt us to pay the tribute taxt to Caesart and claiming that he himself is Christ,ts a king.”3 Sot Pilate asked Jesus,t “Are you the kings of the Jews?” He replied, “You say so.”s4 Thent Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for an accusationts against this man.”

5 But they persistedt in saying, “He incitess the people by teaching throughout all Judea. It started in Galilee and ended up here!”t

Jesus Brought Before Herod

6 Now when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.7 Whent he learned that he was from Herod’s jurisdiction,s he sent him over to Herod,s who also happened to be in Jerusalemss at that time.8 Whent Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had long desired to see him, because he had heard about him and was hoping to see him performt some miraculous sign.s9 Sot Herodt questioned him at considerable length; Jesust gave him no answer.10 The chief priests and the experts in the lawt were there, vehemently accusing him.s11 Even Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him. Then,t dressing him in elegant clothes,s Herodt sent him back to Pilate.

12 That very day Herod and Pilate became friends with each other,s for prior to this they had been enemies.t

Jesus Brought Before the Crowd

13 Thent Pilate called together the chief priests, thet rulers, and the people,14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was misleadingt the people. When I examined him before you, It did not find this man guiltyt of anything you accused him of doing.15 Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, he has done nothings deserving death.t

16 I will therefore have him floggedt and release him.”ss
18 But they all shouted out together,t “Take this mant away! Release Barabbas for us!”19 (Thist was a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrections started in the city, and for murder.)s20 Pilate addressed them once again because he wanteds to release Jesus.21 But they kept on shouting,t “Crucify, crucifyts him!”22 A third time he said to them, “Why? What wrong has he done? I have found him guiltyt of no crime deserving death.s I will therefore flogt him and release him.”23 But they were insistent,t demanding with loud shouts that he be crucified. And their shouts prevailed.24 Sot Pilates decidedt that their demand should be granted.

25 He released the man they asked for, who had been thrown in prison for insurrection and murder. But he handed Jesus overt to their will.s

The Crucifixion

26 Ast they led him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene,s who was coming in from the country.t They placed the cross on his back and made him carry it behind Jesus.t27 A great number of the people followed him, among them womens who were mourningt and wailing for him.28 But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem,ss do not weep for me, but weep for yourselvess and for your children.29 For this is certain:t The days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore children, and the breasts that never nursed!’ts30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains,s ‘Fall on us!’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us!’s

31 For if such things are donet when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”s
32 Two other criminalsss were also led away to be executed with him.33 Sot when they came to the place that is called “The Skull,”s they crucifieds him there, along with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.34 [But Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.”]s Thentthey threw dicetto divide his clothes.s35 The people also stood there watching, but the rulers ridiculedt him, saying, “He saved others. Let him saves himself ift he is the Christts of God, his chosen one!”36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine,s37 and saying, “Ift you are the king of the Jews, save yourself!”

38 There was also an inscriptions over him, “This is the king of the Jews.”
39 One of the criminals who was hanging there railed at him, saying, “Aren’tss you the Christ?ts Save yourself and us!”40 But the other rebuked him, saying,t “Don’tt you fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?t41 And we rightly so, for we are getting what we deserve for what we did, but this man has done nothings wrong.”42 Thent he said, “Jesus, remember mes when you come ins your kingdom.”

43 And Jesust said to him, “I tell you the truth,t todays you will be with me in paradise.”s
44 It was nowt about noon,t and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon,t45 because the sun’s light failed.ssss The temple curtaint was torn in two.

46 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!”s And after he said this he breathed his last.
47 Now when the centurions saw what had happened, he praised God and said, “Certainly this man was innocent!”ts48 And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts.s

49 And all those who knew Jesust stood at a distance, and the women who had followed him from Galilee sawt these things.

Jesus’ Burial

50 Nowt there was a man named Joseph who was a member of the council,t a good and righteous man.51 (Het had not consentedss to their plan and action.) Het was from the Judean townt of Arimathea, and was looking forward tot the kingdom of God.s52 He went to Pilate and asked for the bodys of Jesus.53 Thent he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth,t and placed itt in a tomb cut out of the rock,t where no one had yet been buried.st54 It was the day of preparations and the Sabbath was beginning.t55 Thet women who had accompanied Jesust from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it.

56 Thent they returned and prepared aromatic spicest and perfumes.t
On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.s
