23THEN THE whole assembly of them got up and conducted [Jesus] before Pilate.G2532G537G4128G846G450G71G846G1909G40912And they began to accuse Him, asserting, We found this Man perverting (misleading, corrupting, and turning away) our nation and forbidding to pay tribute to Caesar, saying that He Himself is Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One), a King!G1161G756G2723G846G3004G2147G5126G1294G1484G2532G2967G1325G5411G2541G3004G1438G1511G5547G9353So Pilate asked Him, Are You the King of the Jews? And He answered him, [It is just as] you say. [I AM.]G1161G4091G1905G846G3004G1488G4771G935G2453G1161G611G846G5346G4771G30044And Pilate said to the chief priests and the throngs, I find no guilt {or} crime in this Man.G1161G2036G4091G4314G749G2532G3793G2147G3762G158G1722G5129G4445But they were urgent {and} emphatic, saying, He stirs up {and} excites the people, teaching throughout all Judea--from Galilee, where He began, even to this place.G1161G2001G3004G3754G383G2992G1321G2596G3650G2449G756G575G1056G2193G56026Upon hearing this, Pilate asked whether the Man was a Galilean.G1161G4091G191G1056G1905G1487G444G2076G10577And when he found out [certainly] that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him up to Herod [a higher authority], who was also in Jerusalem in those days.G2532G1921G3754G2076G1537G2264G1849G375G846G4314G2264G5607G846G2532G5607G1722G2414G1722G5025G22508Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had eagerly desired to see Him for a long time because of what he had heard concerning Him, and he was hoping to witness some sign (some striking evidence or spectacular performance) done by Him.G1161G2264G1492G2424G3029G5463G1063G2258G2309G1492G846G1537G2425G1223G191G4183G4012G846G2532G1679G1492G5100G4592G1096G5259G8469So he asked Him many questions, but He made no reply.G1161G1905G846G1722G2425G3056G1161G846G611G846G376210Meanwhile, the chief priests and the scribes stood by, continuing vehemently {and} violently to accuse Him.G1161G749G2532G1122G2476G2159G2723G84611And Herod, with his soldiers, treated Him with contempt and scoffed at {and} ridiculed Him; then, dressing Him up in bright {and} gorgeous apparel, he sent Him back to Pilate.G1161G2264G4862G846G4753G1848G846G1848G2532G1702G4016G846G2986G2066G375G846G375G409112And that very day Herod and Pilate became friends with each other--[though] they had been at enmity before this.G1161G3739G1722G846G2250G4091G2532G2264G1096G5384G3326G5037G240G1063G4391G5607G1722G2189G4314G143813Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,G1161G4091G4779G749G2532G758G2532G299214And said to them, You brought this Man before me as One Who was perverting {and} misleading {and} turning away {and} corrupting the people; and behold, after examining Him before you, I have not found any offense (crime or guilt) in this Man in regard to your accusations against Him;G2036G4314G846G4374G5129G444G3427G5613G654G2992G2532G2400G1473G350G1799G5216G2147G3762G158G1722G5126G444G3739G2596G2723G84615No, nor indeed did Herod, for he sent Him back to us; behold, He has done nothing deserving of death.G235G3761G2264G1063G375G5209G4314G846G2532G2400G3762G514G2288G2076G4238G84616I will therefore chastise Him {and} deliver Him amended (reformed, taught His lesson) and release Him.G3811G3767G3811G846G63017{For it was necessary for him to release to them one prisoner at the Feast.}G1161G318G2192G630G1520G846G2596G185918But they all together raised a deep cry [from the depths of their throats], saying, Away with this Man! Release to us Barabbas!G1161G349G3826G3004G142G5126G1161G630G2254G91219He was a man who had been thrown into prison for raising a riot in the city, and for murder.G3748G2258G1223G5100G4714G1096G1722G4172G2532G5408G906G1519G543820Once more Pilate called to them, wishing to release Jesus;G4091G3767G2309G630G2424G4377G3825G437721But they kept shouting out, Crucify, crucify Him!G1161G2019G3004G4717G4717G84622A third time he said to them, Why? What wrong has He done? I have found [no offense or crime or guilt] in Him nothing deserving of death; I will therefore chastise Him [in order to teach Him better] and release Him.G1161G2036G4314G846G5154G1063G5101G2556G4160G3778G4160G2147G3762G158G2288G1722G846G3811G3767G3811G846G63023But they were insistent {and} urgent, demanding with loud cries that He should be crucified. And their voices prevailed (accomplished their purpose).G1161G1945G3173G5456G154G846G4717G2532G5456G846G2532G749G272924And Pilate gave sentence, that what they asked should be done.G1161G4091G1948G1096G846G15525So he released the man who had been thrown into prison for riot and murder, for whom they continued to ask, but Jesus he delivered up to be done with as they willed.G1161G630G846G1223G4714G2532G5408G906G1519G5438G3739G154G1161G3860G2424G846G230726And as they led Him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross and made him carry it behind Jesus.G2532G5613G520G846G520G1949G5100G4613G2956G2064G575G68G2007G846G2007G4716G5342G3693G242427And there accompanied [Jesus] a great multitude of the people, [including] women who bewailed and lamented Him.G1161G190G846G4183G4128G2992G2532G1135G3739G2532G2875G2532G2354G84628But Jesus, turning toward them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.G1161G2424G4762G4314G846G2036G2364G2419G2799G3361G1909G1691G4133G2799G1909G1438G2532G1909G5216G504329For behold, the days are coming during which they will say, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the breasts that have never nursed [babies]!G3754G2400G2250G2064G1722G3739G2046G3107G4723G2532G2836G3739G3756G1080G2532G3149G3739G3756G233730Then they will begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! and to the hills, Cover (conceal, hide) us!G5119G756G3004G3735G4098G1909G2248G2532G1015G2572G224831For if they do these things when the timber is green, what will happen when it is dry?G3754G1487G4160G5023G1722G5200G3586G5101G1096G1722G358432Two others also, who were criminals, were led away to be executed with Him.G1161G2532G1417G2087G2557G71G4862G846G33733And when they came to the place which is called The Skull [Latin: Calvary; Hebrew: Golgotha], there they crucified Him, and [along with] the criminals, one on the right and one on the left.G2532G3753G565G1909G5117G3588G2564G2898G1563G4717G846G2532G2557G3739G3303G1537G1188G1161G3739G1537G71034And Jesus prayed, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they divided His garments {and} distributed them by casting lots for them.G1161G3004G2424G3962G863G846G1063G1492G3756G5101G4160G1161G1266G846G2440G906G281935Now the people stood by [calmly and leisurely] watching; but the rulers scoffed {and} sneered (turned up their noses) at Him, saying, He rescued others [from death]; let Him now rescue Himself, if He is the Christ (the Messiah) of God, His Chosen One!G2532G2992G2476G2334G1161G758G2532G4862G846G1592G3004G4982G243G4982G1438G1487G3778G2076G5547G1588G231636The soldiers also ridiculed {and} made sport of Him, coming up and offering Him vinegar (a sour wine mixed with water)G1161G4757G2532G1702G846G4334G2532G4374G846G369037And saying, If you are the King of the Jews, save (rescue) Yourself [from death].G2532G3004G1487G4771G1488G935G2453G4982G457238For there was also an inscription above Him {in letters of Greek and Latin and Hebrew}: This is the King of the Jews.G1161G1923G2532G2258G1125G1909G846G1121G1673G2532G4513G2532G1444G3778G2076G935G245339One of the criminals who was suspended kept up a railing at Him, saying, Are You not the Christ (the Messiah)? Rescue Yourself and us [from death]!G1161G1520G2557G2910G987G846G3004G1487G4771G1488G5547G4982G4572G2532G224840But the other one reproved him, saying, Do you not even fear God, seeing you yourself are under the same sentence of condemnation {and} suffering the same penalty?G1161G2087G611G2008G846G3004G5399G3761G4771G5399G2316G3754G1488G1722G846G291741And we indeed suffer it justly, receiving the due reward of our actions; but this Man has done nothing out of the way [nothing strange or eccentric or perverse or unreasonable].G2532G2249G3303G1346G1063G618G514G3739G4238G1161G3778G4238G3762G82442Then he said to Jesus, {Lord,} remember me when You come in Your kingly glory!G2532G3004G2424G2962G3415G3450G3752G2064G1722G4675G93243And He answered him, Truly I tell you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.G2532G2424G2036G846G281G3004G4671G4594G2071G3326G1700G1722G385744It was now about the sixth hour (midday), and darkness enveloped the whole land {and} earth until the ninth hour (about three o'clock in the afternoon),G1161G2258G5616G1623G5610G2532G1096G4655G1909G3650G1093G2193G1766G561045While the sun's light faded {or} {was darkened}; and the curtain [of the Holy of Holies] of the temple was torn in two.G2532G2246G4654G2532G2665G3485G4977G331946And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit! And with these words, He expired.G2532G2424G5455G3173G5456G2036G3962G1519G4675G5495G3908G3450G4151G2532G2036G5023G160647Now the centurion, having seen what had taken place, recognized God {and} thanked {and} praised Him, and said, Indeed, without question, this Man was upright (just and innocent)!G1161G1543G1492G1096G1392G2316G3004G3689G3778G2258G1342G44448And all the throngs that had gathered to see this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned to their homes, beating their breasts.G2532G3956G3793G4836G1909G5026G2335G2334G1096G5180G1438G4738G529049And all the acquaintances of [Jesus] and the women who had followed Him from Galilee stood at a distance and watched these things.G1161G3956G846G1110G2532G1135G4870G846G575G1056G2476G3113G3708G502350Now notice, there was a man named Joseph from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council (the Sanhedrin), and a good (upright, advantageous) man, and righteous (in right standing with God and man),G2532G2400G435G3686G2501G1010G5225G18G435G2532G134251Who had not agreed with {or} assented to the purpose and action of the others; and he was expecting {and} waiting for the kingdom of God.G3778G4784G3756G4784G2258G1012G2532G4234G846G575G707G4172G2453G2532G3739G2532G846G4327G932G231652This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.G3778G4334G4091G154G4983G242453Then he took it down and rolled it up in a linen cloth for swathing dead bodies and laid Him in a rock-hewn tomb, where no one had ever yet been laid.G2532G2507G846G2507G1794G846G4616G2532G5087G846G1722G3418G2991G3757G3756G3764G3762G2258G274954It was the day of Preparation [for the Sabbath], and the Sabbath was dawning (approaching).G2532G2250G2258G3904G2532G4521G202055The women who had come with [Jesus] from Galilee followed closely and saw the tomb and how His body was laid.G1161G1135G2532G3748G2258G4905G846G1537G1056G2628G2300G3419G2532G5613G846G4983G508756Then they went back and made ready spices and ointments (perfumes). On the Sabbath day they rested in accordance with the commandment.G5290G1161G2090G759G2532G3464G2532G2270G3303G4521G2596G1785
