He answered him, "You say so." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, "I find no basis for a charge against this man." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>But they insisted, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>But when Pilate heard it, he asked if the man was a Galilean. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>When he found out that he was in Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one that subverts the people, and see, I have examined him before you, and found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>I will therefore chastise him and release him." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>(Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.)<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>But they all shouted out together, saying, "Away with this man.

Crucify him." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>He said to them the third time, "Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices, and those of the chief priests, prevailed. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and placed on him the cross, to carry it after Jesus.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>A large crowd of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>But Jesus, turning to them, said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>For look, the days are coming in which they will say, 'Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.' <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>Then they will begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us,' and to the hills, 'Cover us.' <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?"<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>The people stood watching. The rulers also scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his Chosen One." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>An inscription was also written above him: "THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>One of the criminals who hung there insulted him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-41.htm"><b>41</b></a></span>And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-42.htm"><b>42</b></a></span>And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-43.htm"><b>43</b></a></span>And he said to him, "Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-44.htm"><b>44</b></a></span>And it was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-45.htm"><b>45</b></a></span>for the sun's light failed. And the veil of the temple was torn in two. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-46.htm"><b>46</b></a></span>And Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." Having said this, he breathed his last. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-47.htm"><b>47</b></a></span>When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous man." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-48.htm"><b>48</b></a></span>All the crowds that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-49.htm"><b>49</b></a></span>All his acquaintances, and the women who followed with him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-50.htm"><b>50</b></a></span>And look, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-51.htm"><b>51</b></a></span>(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Judeans, who was also waiting for the Kingdom of God: <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-52.htm"><b>52</b></a></span>this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-53.htm"><b>53</b></a></span>He took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been placed. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-54.htm"><b>54</b></a></span>It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-55.htm"><b>55</b></a></span>The women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body was placed. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/luke/23-56.htm"><b>56</b></a></span>They returned, and prepared spices and ointments.
