nasb@Luke:20:1 @Then the whole body of them got up and brought Him before Pilate.

nasb@Luke:20:2 @And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is Christ, a King."

nasb@Luke:20:3 @So Pilate asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And He answered him and said, " It is as you say."

nasb@Luke:20:4 @Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, " I find no guilt in this man."

nasb@Luke:20:5 @But they kept on insisting, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching all over Judea, starting from Galilee even as far as this place."

nasb@Luke:20:6 @When Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.

nasb@Luke:20:7 @And when he learned that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself also was in Jerusalem at that time.

nasb@Luke:20:8 @Now Herod was very glad when he saw Jesus; for he had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had been hearing about Him and was hoping to see some sign performed by Him.

nasb@Luke:20:9 @And he questioned Him at some length; but He answered him nothing.

nasb@Luke:20:10 @And the chief priests and the scribes were standing there, accusing Him vehemently.

nasb@Luke:20:11 @And Herod with his soldiers, after treating Him with contempt and mocking Him, dressed Him in a gorgeous robe and sent Him back to Pilate.

nasb@Luke:20:12 @Now Herod and Pilate became friends with one another that very day; for before they had been enemies with each other.

nasb@Luke:20:13 @Pilate summoned the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

nasb@Luke:20:14 @and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one who incites the people to rebellion, and behold, having examined Him before you, I have found no guilt in this man regarding the charges which you make against Him.

nasb@Luke:20:15" @No, nor has Herod, for he sent Him back to us; and behold, nothing deserving death has been done by Him.

nasb@Luke:20:16" @Therefore I will punish Him and release Him."

nasb@Luke:20:17 @[ Now he was obliged to release to them at the feast one prisoner.]

nasb@Luke:20:18 @But they cried out all together, saying, " Away with this man, and release for us Barabbas!"

nasb@Luke:20:19 @(He was one who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection made in the city, and for murder.)

nasb@Luke:20:20 @Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them again,

nasb@Luke:20:21 @but they kept on calling out, saying, "Crucify, crucify Him!"

nasb@Luke:20:22 @And he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil has this man done? I have found in Him no guilt demanding death; therefore I will punish Him and release Him."

nasb@Luke:20:23 @But they were insistent, with loud voices asking that He be crucified. And their voices began to prevail.

nasb@Luke:20:24 @And Pilate pronounced sentence that their demand be granted.

nasb@Luke:20:25 @And he released the man they were asking for who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, but he delivered Jesus to their will.

nasb@Luke:20:26 @When they led Him away, they seized a man, Simon of Cyrene, coming in from the country, and placed on him the cross to carry behind Jesus.

nasb@Luke:20:27 @And following Him was a large crowd of the people, and of women who were mourning and lamenting Him.

nasb@Luke:20:28 @But Jesus turning to them said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, stop weeping for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

nasb@Luke:20:29" @For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ' Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.'

nasb@Luke:20:30" @Then they will begin TO SAY TO THE MOUNTAINS, 'FALL ON US,' AND TO THE HILLS, 'COVER US.'

nasb@Luke:20:31" @For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?"

nasb@Luke:20:32 @Two others also, who were criminals, were being led away to be put to death with Him.

nasb@Luke:20:33 @When they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.

nasb@Luke:20:34 @But Jesus was saying, " Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves.

nasb@Luke:20:35 @And the people stood by, looking on. And even the rulers were sneering at Him, saying, "He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is the Christ of God, His Chosen One."

nasb@Luke:20:36 @The soldiers also mocked Him, coming up to Him, offering Him sour wine,

nasb@Luke:20:37 @and saying, " If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!"

nasb@Luke:20:38 @Now there was also an inscription above Him, " THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."

nasb@Luke:20:39 @One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, "Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!"

nasb@Luke:20:40 @But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

nasb@Luke:20:41" @And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong."

nasb@Luke:20:42 @And he was saying, "Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!"

nasb@Luke:20:43 @And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise."

nasb@Luke:20:44 @It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour,

nasb@Luke:20:45 @because the sun was obscured; and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

nasb@Luke:20:46 @And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, "Father, INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT." Having said this, He breathed His last.

nasb@Luke:20:47 @Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began praising God, saying, "Certainly this man was innocent."

nasb@Luke:20:48 @And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, when they observed what had happened, began to return, beating their breasts.

nasb@Luke:20:49 @And all His acquaintances and the women who accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, seeing these things.

nasb@Luke:20:50 @And a man named Joseph, who was a member of the Council, a good and righteous man

nasb@Luke:20:51 @(he had not consented to their plan and action), a man from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God;

nasb@Luke:20:52 @this man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

nasb@Luke:20:53 @And he took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever lain.

nasb@Luke:20:54 @It was the preparation day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.

nasb@Luke:20:55 @Now the women who had come with Him out of Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how His body was laid.

nasb@Luke:20:56 @Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes. And on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
