Luke 23

The Message Bible MSG

1 Then they all took Jesus to Pilate

2 and began to bring up charges against him. They said, "We found this man undermining our law and order, forbidding taxes to be paid to Caesar, setting himself up as Messiah-King."

3 Pilate asked him, "Is this true that you're 'King of the Jews'?" "Those are your words, not mine," Jesus replied.

4 Pilate told the high priests and the accompanying crowd, "I find nothing wrong here. He seems harmless enough to me.

5 But they were vehement. "He's stirring up unrest among the people with his teaching, disturbing the peace everywhere, starting in Galilee and now all through Judea. He's a dangerous man, endangering the peace."

6 When Pilate heard that, he asked, "So, he's a Galilean?"

7 Realizing that he properly came under Herod's jurisdiction, he passed the buck to Herod, who just happened to be in Jerusalem for a few days.

8 Herod was delighted when Jesus showed up. He had wanted for a long time to see him, he'd heard so much about him. He hoped to see him do something spectacular.

9 He peppered him with questions. Jesus didn't answer - not one word.

10 But the high priests and religion scholars were right there, saying their piece, strident and shrill in their accusations.

11 Mightily offended, Herod turned on Jesus. His soldiers joined in, taunting and jeering. Then they dressed him up in an elaborate king costume and sent him back to Pilate.

12 That day Herod and Pilate became thick as thieves. Always before they had kept their distance.

13 Then Pilate called in the high priests, rulers, and the others

14 and said, "You brought this man to me as a disturber of the peace. I examined him in front of all of you and found there was nothing to your charge

15 And neither did Herod, for he has sent him back here with a clean bill of health. It's clear that he's done nothing wrong, let alone anything deserving death.

16 I'm going to warn him to watch his step and let him go."

18 At that, the crowd went wild: "Kill him! Give us Barabbas!"

19 (Barabbas had been thrown in prison for starting a riot in the city and for murder.

20 Pilate still wanted to let Jesus go, and so spoke out again.

21 But they kept shouting back, "Crucify! Crucify him!

22 He tried a third time. "But for what crime? I've found nothing in him deserving death. I'm going to warn him to watch his step and let him go."

23 But they kept at it, a shouting mob, demanding that he be crucified. And finally they shouted him down.

24 Pilate caved in and gave them what they wanted.

25 He released the man thrown in prison for rioting and murder, and gave them Jesus to do whatever they wanted.

26 As they led him off, they made Simon, a man from Cyrene who happened to be coming in from the countryside, carry the cross behind Jesus.

27 A huge crowd of people followed, along with women weeping and carrying on.

28 At one point Jesus turned to the women and said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, don't cry for me. Cry for yourselves and for your children.

29 The time is coming when they'll say, 'Lucky the women who never conceived! Lucky the wombs that never gave birth! Lucky the breasts that never gave milk!'

30 Then they'll start calling to the mountains, 'Fall down on us!' calling to the hills, 'Cover us up!'

31 If people do these things to a live, green tree, can you imagine what they'll do with deadwood?"

32 Two others, both criminals, were taken along with him for execution.

33 When they got to the place called Skull Hill, they crucified him, along with the criminals, one on his right, the other on his left.

34 Jesus prayed, "Father, forgive them; they don't know what they're doing."

35 The people stood there staring at Jesus, and the ringleaders made faces, taunting, "He saved others. Let's see him save himself! The Messiah of God - ha! The Chosen - ha!"

36 The soldiers also came up and poked fun at him, making a game of it. They toasted him with sour wine

37 "So you're King of the Jews! Save yourself!"

38 Printed over him was a sign: this is the king of the jews

39 One of the criminals hanging alongside cursed him: "Some Messiah you are! Save yourself! Save us!"

40 But the other one made him shut up: "Have you no fear of God? You're getting the same as him.

41 We deserve this, but not him - he did nothing to deserve this."

42 Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you enter your kingdom."

43 He said, "Don't worry, I will. Today you will join me in paradise."

44 By now it was noon. The whole earth became dark, the darkness lasting three hours -

45 a total blackout. The Temple curtain split right down the middle.

46 Jesus called loudly, "Father, I place my life in your hands!" Then he breathed his last.

47 When the captain there saw what happened, he honored God: "This man was innocent! A good man, and innocent!"

48 All who had come around as spectators to watch the show, when they saw what actually happened, were overcome with grief and headed home.

49 Those who knew Jesus well, along with the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a respectful distance and kept vigil.

50 There was a man by the name of Joseph, a member of the Jewish High Council, a man of good heart and good character.

51 He had not gone along with the plans and actions of the council. His hometown was the Jewish village of Arimathea.

52 He lived in alert expectation of the kingdom of God. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

53 Taking him down, he wrapped him in a linen shroud and placed him in a tomb chiseled into the rock, a tomb never yet used.

54 It was the day before Sabbath, the Sabbath just about to begin.

55 The women who had been companions of Jesus from Galilee followed along. They saw the tomb where Jesus' body was placed.

56 Then they went back to prepare burial spices and perfumes. They rested quietly on the Sabbath, as commanded.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et surgens omnis multitudo eorum duxerunt illum ad Pilatum

2 coeperunt autem accusare illum dicentes hunc invenimus subvertentem gentem nostram et prohibentem tributa dari Caesari et dicentem se Christum regem esse

3 Pilatus autem interrogavit eum dicens tu es rex Iudaeorum at ille respondens ait tu dicis

4 ait autem Pilatus ad principes sacerdotum et turbas nihil invenio causae in hoc homin

5 at illi invalescebant dicentes commovet populum docens per universam Iudaeam et incipiens a Galilaea usque huc

6 Pilatus autem audiens Galilaeam interrogavit si homo Galilaeus esset

7 et ut cognovit quod de Herodis potestate esset remisit eum ad Herodem qui et ipse Hierosolymis erat illis diebus

8 Herodes autem viso Iesu gavisus est valde erat enim cupiens ex multo tempore videre eum eo quod audiret multa de illo et sperabat signum aliquod videre ab eo fieri

9 interrogabat autem illum multis sermonibus at ipse nihil illi respondebat

10 stabant etiam principes sacerdotum et scribae constanter accusantes eum

11 sprevit autem illum Herodes cum exercitu suo et inlusit indutum veste alba et remisit ad Pilatum

12 et facti sunt amici Herodes et Pilatus in ipsa die nam antea inimici erant ad invicem

13 Pilatus autem convocatis principibus sacerdotum et magistratibus et plebe

14 dixit ad illos obtulistis mihi hunc hominem quasi avertentem populum et ecce ego coram vobis interrogans nullam causam inveni in homine isto ex his in quibus eum accusati

15 sed neque Herodes nam remisi vos ad illum et ecce nihil dignum morte actum est ei

16 emendatum ergo illum dimittam

18 exclamavit autem simul universa turba dicens tolle hunc et dimitte nobis Barabban

19 qui erat propter seditionem quandam factam in civitate et homicidium missus in carcere

20 iterum autem Pilatus locutus est ad illos volens dimittere Iesum

21 at illi succlamabant dicentes crucifige crucifige illu

22 ille autem tertio dixit ad illos quid enim mali fecit iste nullam causam mortis invenio in eo corripiam ergo illum et dimittam

23 at illi instabant vocibus magnis postulantes ut crucifigeretur et invalescebant voces eorum

24 et Pilatus adiudicavit fieri petitionem eorum

25 dimisit autem illis eum qui propter homicidium et seditionem missus fuerat in carcerem quem petebant Iesum vero tradidit voluntati eorum

26 et cum ducerent eum adprehenderunt Simonem quendam Cyrenensem venientem de villa et inposuerunt illi crucem portare post Iesum

27 sequebatur autem illum multa turba populi et mulierum quae plangebant et lamentabant eum

28 conversus autem ad illas Iesus dixit filiae Hierusalem nolite flere super me sed super vos ipsas flete et super filios vestros

29 quoniam ecce venient dies in quibus dicent beatae steriles et ventres qui non genuerunt et ubera quae non lactaverunt

30 tunc incipient dicere montibus cadite super nos et collibus operite nos

31 quia si in viridi ligno haec faciunt in arido quid fiet

32 ducebantur autem et alii duo nequam cum eo ut interficerentur

33 et postquam venerunt in locum qui vocatur Calvariae ibi crucifixerunt eum et latrones unum a dextris et alterum a sinistris

34 Iesus autem dicebat Pater dimitte illis non enim sciunt quid faciunt dividentes vero vestimenta eius miserunt sortes

35 et stabat populus expectans et deridebant illum principes cum eis dicentes alios salvos fecit se salvum faciat si hic est Christus Dei electus

36 inludebant autem ei et milites accedentes et acetum offerentes ill

37 dicentes si tu es rex Iudaeorum salvum te fac

38 erat autem et superscriptio inscripta super illum litteris graecis et latinis et hebraicis hic est rex Iudaeoru

39 unus autem de his qui pendebant latronibus blasphemabat eum dicens si tu es Christus salvum fac temet ipsum et nos

40 respondens autem alter increpabat illum dicens neque tu times Deum quod in eadem damnatione es

41 et nos quidem iuste nam digna factis recipimus hic vero nihil mali gessit

42 et dicebat ad Iesum Domine memento mei cum veneris in regnum tuum

43 et dixit illi Iesus amen dico tibi hodie mecum eris in paradiso

44 erat autem fere hora sexta et tenebrae factae sunt in universa terra usque in nonam horam

45 et obscuratus est sol et velum templi scissum est medium

46 et clamans voce magna Iesus ait Pater in manus tuas commendo spiritum meum et haec dicens exspiravit

47 videns autem centurio quod factum fuerat glorificavit Deum dicens vere hic homo iustus erat

48 et omnis turba eorum qui simul aderant ad spectaculum istud et videbant quae fiebant percutientes pectora sua revertebantur

49 stabant autem omnes noti eius a longe et mulieres quae secutae erant eum a Galilaea haec videntes

50 et ecce vir nomine Ioseph qui erat decurio vir bonus et iustus

51 hic non consenserat consilio et actibus eorum ab Arimathia civitate Iudaeae qui expectabat et ipse regnum Dei

52 hic accessit ad Pilatum et petiit corpus Iesu

53 et depositum involvit sindone et posuit eum in monumento exciso in quo nondum quisquam positus fuerat

54 et dies erat parasceves et sabbatum inlucescebat

55 subsecutae autem mulieres quae cum ipso venerant de Galilaea viderunt monumentum et quemadmodum positum erat corpus eius

56 et revertentes paraverunt aromata et unguenta et sabbato quidem siluerunt secundum mandatum
