lont@Luke:23:1 @ And the assembly broke up, and conducted Jesus to Pilate:

lont@Luke:23:2 @ and they accused him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, calling himself Messiah the King.

lont@Luke:23:3 @ Then Pilate, asking him, said, You are the King of the Jews? He answered,

lont@Luke:23:4 @ Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitude, I find nothing criminal in this man.

lont@Luke:23:5 @ But they became more vehement, adding, He raised sedition among the people, by the doctrine which he spread through all Judea, from Galilee, where he began, to this place.

lont@Luke:23:6 @ When Pilate heard them mention Galilee, he asked, whether the man were a Galilean.

lont@Luke:23:7 @ And finding that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also then at Jerusalem.

lont@Luke:23:8 @ And Herod was very glad to see Jesus: it was what he had long desired; having heard much of him, and hoping to see him perform some miracle.

lont@Luke:23:9 @ He, therefore, asked him many questions, but Jesus returned him no answer.

lont@Luke:23:10 @ Yet the chief priests and the scribes, who were present, accused him with eagerness.

lont@Luke:23:11 @ But Herod and his military train despised him: and having, in derision, arrayed him in a splendid robe, remanded him to Pilate.

lont@Luke:23:12 @ On that day, Pilate and Herod became friends; for, before, they had been at enmity.

lont@Luke:23:13 @ Pilate, having convened the chief priests, the magistrates and the people,

lont@Luke:23:14 @ said to them, You have brought this man before me, as one who excites the people to revolt; yet, having examined him in your presence, I have not found him guilt of any of those crimes of which you accuse him.

lont@Luke:23:15 @ Neither has Herod; for I referred you to him. Be assured, then, that he has done nothing to deserve death.

lont@Luke:23:16 @ I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

lont@Luke:23:17 @ For it was necessary that he should release one to them at the festival.

lont@Luke:23:18 @ Then all cried out together, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas.

lont@Luke:23:19 @ Now Barabbas had been imprisoned for raising sedition in the city, and for murder.

lont@Luke:23:20 @ Pilate, willing to release Jesus, again, expostulated.

lont@Luke:23:21 @ But they cried, saying, Crucify! crucify him!

lont@Luke:23:22 @ A third time he repeated, Why? What evil has this man done? I do not find him guilty of any capital crime; I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

lont@Luke:23:23 @ But they persisted, demanding, with much clamor, that he might be crucified. At last, their clamors, and those of the chief priests, prevailed:

lont@Luke:23:24 @ and Pilate pronounced sentence, that it should be as they desired.

lont@Luke:23:25 @ Accordingly, he released a man who had been imprisoned for sedition and murder; whom they required; and gave up Jesus to their will.

lont@Luke:23:26 @ As they led him away, they laid hold of one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the country, and laid the cross on him, that he might bear it after Jesus.

lont@Luke:23:27 @ And a great multitude followed him, amongst whom were many women, who lamented and bewailed him.

lont@Luke:23:28 @ But Jesus, turning to them, said,

lont@Luke:23:29" />

lont@Luke:23:30" />

lont@Luke:23:31" />

lont@Luke:23:32 @ And two malefactors were also led with him to execution.

lont@Luke:23:33 @ When they came to the place called Calvary, they there nailed him to a cross, and the malefactors also; one at his right hand, the other at his left.

lont@Luke:23:34 @ And Jesus said, And they parted his garments by lot.

lont@Luke:23:35 @ While the people stood gazing, even their rulers joined them in ridiculing him, and saying, This man saved others; let him save himself, if he be the Messiah, the elect of God.

lont@Luke:23:36 @ The soldiers likewise mocked him, coming and offering him vinegar,

lont@Luke:23:37 @ and saying, If you be the King of the Jews, save yourself.

lont@Luke:23:38 @ There was also an inscription over his head in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

lont@Luke:23:39 @ Now, one of the malefactors who suffered with him, reviled him, saying, If you be the Messiah, save yourself and us.

lont@Luke:23:40 @ The other, rebuking him, answered, Have you no fear of God, you who are undergoing the same punishment?

lont@Luke:23:41 @ And we, indeed, justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man has done nothing amiss.

lont@Luke:23:42 @ And he said to Jesus, Remember me, Lord, when thou comest to thy kingdom.

lont@Luke:23:43 @ Jesus answered,

lont@Luke:23:44 @ And, about the sixth hour, there was darkness over all the land, which lasted till the ninth.

lont@Luke:23:45 @ The sun was darkened, and the vail of the temple was rent in the midst.

lont@Luke:23:46 @ And Jesus said with a loud voice, and having thus said, he expired.

lont@Luke:23:47 @ Then, the centurion, observing what had happened, gave glory to God; saying, Assuredly, this was a righteous man.

lont@Luke:23:48 @ Nay, all the people who were present at this spectacle, and saw what had passed, returned, beating their breasts.

lont@Luke:23:49 @ And all his acquaintance, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, standing at a distance, beheld these things.

lont@Luke:23:50 @ Now, there was a senator, named Joseph, a good and just man,

lont@Luke:23:51 @ from Arimathea, a city of Judea, who had not concurred in the resolutions and proceedings of the rest; and who himself, also expected the Reign of God.

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

lont@Luke:23:53 @ And having taken it down, he wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb cut in stone, in which no man had ever been deposited.

lont@Luke:23:54 @ Now that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath approached.

lont@Luke:23:55 @ And the women, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee, followed Joseph, and observed the tomb, and how the body was laid.

lont@Luke:23:56 @ When they returned, they provided spices and ointments, and then rested the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
