Luke 23 WBS — Luke 23

1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him to Pilate. WBS — Luke 23:1

2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, saying, that he himself is Christ a king. WBS — Luke 23:2

3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it. WBS — Luke 23:3

4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests, and to the people, I find no fault in this man. WBS — Luke 23:4

5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place. WBS — Luke 23:5

6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. WBS — Luke 23:6

7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself was also at Jerusalem at that time. WBS — Luke 23:7

8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he had been for a long time, desirous to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him. WBS — Luke 23:8

9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. WBS — Luke 23:9

10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. WBS — Luke 23:10

11 And Herod with his troops set him at naught, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. WBS — Luke 23:11

12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together; for before they were at enmity between themselves. WBS — Luke 23:12

13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people, WBS — Luke 23:13

14 Said to them, Ye have brought this man to me, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man, touching those things of which ye accuse him; WBS — Luke 23:14

15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and lo, nothing worthy of death is done to him: WBS — Luke 23:15

16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him. WBS — Luke 23:16

17 (For of necessity he must release one to them at the feast.) WBS — Luke 23:17

18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas: WBS — Luke 23:18

19 (Who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) WBS — Luke 23:19

20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them. WBS — Luke 23:20

21 But they cried, saying, Crucify, crucify him. WBS — Luke 23:21

22 And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him; I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. WBS — Luke 23:22

23 And they were urgent with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified: and the voices of them, and of the chief priests prevailed. WBS — Luke 23:23

24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. WBS — Luke 23:24

25 And he released to them him that for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. WBS — Luke 23:25

26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. WBS — Luke 23:26

27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, who also bewailed and lamented him. WBS — Luke 23:27

28 But Jesus turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. WBS — Luke 23:28

29 For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts which never nourished infants. WBS — Luke 23:29

30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. WBS — Luke 23:30

31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what will be done in the dry? WBS — Luke 23:31

32 And two others, who were malefactors, were led with him to be put to death. WBS — Luke 23:32

33 And when they had come to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors; one on the right hand, and the other on the left. WBS — Luke 23:33

34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them: for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. WBS — Luke 23:34

35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he is Christ the chosen of God. WBS — Luke 23:35

36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, WBS — Luke 23:36

37 And saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself. WBS — Luke 23:37

38 And a superscription also was written over him, in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. WBS — Luke 23:38

39 And one of the malefactors, who were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou art Christ, save thyself and us. WBS — Luke 23:39

40 But the other answering, rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? WBS — Luke 23:40

41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. WBS — Luke 23:41

42 And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. WBS — Luke 23:42

43 And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, This day shalt thou be with me in paradise. WBS — Luke 23:43

44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. WBS — Luke 23:44

45 And the sun was darkened, and the vail of the temple was rent in the midst. WBS — Luke 23:45

46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he expired. WBS — Luke 23:46

47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. WBS — Luke 23:47

48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. WBS — Luke 23:48

49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off beholding these things. WBS — Luke 23:49

50 And behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor: and he was a good man, and a just: WBS — Luke 23:50

51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them) he was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews; who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. WBS — Luke 23:51

52 This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. WBS — Luke 23:52

53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, in which man was never before laid. WBS — Luke 23:53

54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. WBS — Luke 23:54

55 And the women also, who came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulcher, and how his body was laid. WBS — Luke 23:55

56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested on the sabbath, according to the commandment. WBS — Luke 23:56
