Lukas 23

1 Og deres ganske Hob stod op og førte ham for Pilatus.2 Men de begyndte at anklage ham og sagde: denne have vi fundet at forvende Folket og forbyde at give Keiseren Skat og sige sig selv at være Christus, en Konge.3 Men Pilatus spurge ham og sagde: er du den Jødernes Konge? Men han svarede ham og sagde: du siger det.4 Men Pilatus sagde til de Ypperstepræster og til Folket: jeg finder ingen Skyld hos dette Menneske.5 Men de holdt hardt ved og sagde: han oprør Folket, idet han lærer over al Juæa, fra Galilæa af, hvor han begyndte.6 Men der Pilatus hørte om Galilæa spurgte han, om dette Menneske var en Galilæer.7 Og der han fik at vide, at han hørte under Herodes' Magt, sendte han ham til Herodes, som og selv var i Jerusalem i de samme Dage.8 Men der Herodes saae Jesus, blev han meget glad: thi han havde længe siden gjerne villet see ham, fordi han havde hørt meget om ham, og haabede at skulle see et Tegn skee af ham.9 Og han gjorde ham mange Spørgsmaal; men han svarede ham Intet.10 Men de Ypperstepræster og Skriftkloge stode og anklagede ham heftig.11 Men der Herodes med sine Krigsfolk havde forhaanet og bespottet ham, kastede han et hvidt Klædebon om ham og sendte ham til Pilatus igjen.12 Paa den Dag bleve Pilatus og Herodes hinandens Venner; thi de var før i Fjendskab med hinanden.13 Men Pilatus sammenkaldte de Ypperstepræster og de Øverste og Folket,14 og sagde til dem: I have ført dette Menneske til mig som den, der afvender Folket; og see, jeg har forhørt ham for Eder og finder ingen Skyld hos dette Menneske i det, som I anklage ham for.15 Herodes ikke heller; thi jeg sendte Eder til ham, og see, han har Intet gjort, som han er skyldig at døe for.16 Derfor vil jeg revse ham og lade ham løs.17 Men han var forbunden til at lade dem Een løs ved Høitiden.18 Men de raabte i den ganske Hob og sagde: bort med denne, men lad os Barabbas løs!19 (Denne var Kastet i Fængsel for et Oprør, som skete i Staden, og var for et Mord.)20 Da raabte Pilatus atter til dem og vilde lade Jesus løs.21 Men de tilraabte ham og sagde: korsfæst, korsfæst ham!22 Men han sagde tredie Gang til dem: hvad Ondt har da denne gjort? Jeg finder ingen Dødsskyld hos ham; derfor vil jeg revse ham og lade ham løs.23 Men de trængte paa med stort Skrig og begjerede, at han skulde korsfæstes; og deres og de Ypperstepræsters Skrig fik Overhaand.24 Og Pilatus dømte, at deres Begjering skulde skee.25 Men han løvsgav dem den, de begjerede, som var kastet i Fængsel for Oprør og Mord; men Jesus overgav han til deres Villie.26 Og der de førte ham ud, toge de fat paa en viis Simon fra Cyrene, som kom fra Marken, og de lagde Korset paa ham, at han skulde bære det efter Jesus.27 Men en stor Hob Folk og Kvinder fulgte ham, som baade beklagede og begræd ham.28 Men Jesus vendte sig om til dem og sagde: I Jerusalems Døttre! græder ikke over mig, men græder over Eder selv og over Eders Børn.29 Thi see, de Dage komme. paa hvilke man skal sige: salige ere de Ufrugtsommelige og de Liv, som ikke fødte, og de Bryster, som ikke gave Die.30 Da skulle de begynde at sige til Bjergene: fader over os! og til Høiene: skjuler os!31 Thi gjør man dette med det grønne Træ, hvad vil da skee med det tørre.32 Men der bleve og to andre Misdædere førte ud for at henrettes med ham.33 Og der de vare komne til det Sted, som kaldes Hovedpandested, korsfæstede de ham der og Misdæderne, den ene ved den høire, men den anden ved den venstre Side.34 Men Jesus sagde: Fader! forlad dem; thi de vide ikke, hvad de gjøre. Men de skiftede hans Klæder og kastede Lod derom.35 Og Folket stod og saae til: men de Øverste spottede ham tilligemed dem og sagde: han har frelst Andre, han frelse sig selv, dersom han er den Christus, den Guds Udvalgte.36 Men og Stridsmændene spottede ham, traadte til og rakte ham Eddike og sagde:37 dersom du er den Jødernes Konge, da frels dig selv.38 Men der var og sat en Overskrift over ham, skreven paa Græsk og Latin og Hebraisk: denne er den Jødernes Konge.39 Men een af Misdæderne, som vare ophøngte, bespottede ham og sagde: er du den Christus, da frels dig selv og os.40 Men den anden svarede og straffede ham og sagde: frygter ei heller du for Gud, da du er under samme Dom?41 Og vi vel med Rette, thi vi saae det, vore Gjerninger have forskyldt; men denne handlede intet Uskikkeligt.42 Og han sagde til Jesus: Herre! kom mig i hu, naar du kommer i dit Rige.43 Og Jesus sagde til ham: sandelig siger jeg dig, i Dag skal du være med mig i Paradis.44 Men det var ved den sjette Time, og der blev et Mørke over det ganske Land indtil den niende Time.45 Og Solen blev formørket, og Forhænget i Templet splittedes midt ad.46 Og Jesus raabte med høi Røst og sagde: Fader! i dine Hænder befaler jeg min Aand, og der han det sagde, udgav han Aanden.47 Men der Høvedsmanden saae det, som skete, gav han Gud Æren og sagde: i Sandhed, dette Menneske var retfærdigt.48 Og alle de Folk, som vare komne sammen til dette Syn, der de saae, hvad der var skeet, sloge sig for deres Bryst og vendte tilbagte.49 Men alle hans Kyndige stode langt borte, saa og de Kvinder, som havde fulgt med ham fra Galilæa, og saae dette.50 Og see, en Mand ved Navn Joseph, som var en Raadsherre, en god og retfærdig Mand,51 (denne havde ikke samtykt i deres Raad og Gjerning), han var fra Arimathæa, en Jødisk Stad, og han ventede ogsaa selv Guds Rige;52 han gik til Pilatus og begjerede Jesu Legeme.53 Og han tog det ned og svøbte det i et fiint Linklæde og lagde det i en Grav, som var huggen i en Klippe, hvor endnu ikke Nogen var lagt.54 Og det var Beredelsens Dag, og Sabbaten stundede til.55 Men og Kvinderne, som vare komne med ham fra Galilæa, fulgte efter og saae Graven, og hvorledes hans Legeme blev lagt.56 Men de vendte tilbage og beredte vellugtende Urter og Salver; og Sabbaten over holdt de sig stille efter Loven.

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
