Luke 23

And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.

Och de stodo upp, hela hopen, och förde honom till Pilatus.

And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

Där begynte de anklaga honom och sade: »Vi hava funnit att denne man förleder vårt folk och vill förhindra att man giver kejsaren skatt, och att han säger sig vara Messias, en konung.»

And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

Då frågade Pilatus honom och sade: Är du judarnas konung?» Han svarade honom och sade: »Du säger det själv.»

Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

Men Pilatus sade till översteprästerna och till folket: »Jag finner intet brottsligt hos denne man.»

And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.

Då blevo de ännu ivrigare och sade: »Han uppviglar med sin lära folket i hela Judeen, allt ifrån Galileen och ända hit.»

When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan.

När Pilatus hörde detta, frågade han om mannen var från Galileen.

And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

Och då han fick veta att han var från det land som lydde under Herodes' välde, sände han honom bort till Herodes, som under dessa dalar också var i Jerusalem.

And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

När Herodes fick se Jesus, blev han mycket glad, ty han hade sedan lång tid velat se honom; han hade nämligen hört talas om honom, och han hoppades nu att få se honom göra något tecken.

Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

Men fastän han ställde ganska många frågor på Jesus, svarade denne honom intet.

And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

Och översteprästerna och de skriftlärde stodo där och anklagade honom häftigt.

And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

Men Herodes och hans krigsfolk bemötte honom med förakt och begabbade honom; och sedan de hade satt på honom en lysande klädnad, sände de honom tillbaka till Pilatus.

And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

Och Herodes och Pilatus blevo den dagen vänner med varandra; Förut hade nämligen dem emellan rått ovänskap.

And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

Sedan kallade Pilatus tillhopa översteprästerna och rådsherrarna och folket

Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

och sade till dem: »I haven fört till mig denne man och sagt att han förleder folket; och jag har nu i eder närvaro anställt rannsakning med honom, men icke funnit honom skyldig till något av det som I anklagen honom för.

No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.

Och ej heller Herodes har funnit honom skyldig; han har ju sänt honom tillbaka till oss. I sen alltså att denne icke har gjort något som förtjänar döden.

I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

Därför vill jag giva honom lös, medan jag har tuktat honom.»

(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:

(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.

But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.

And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.

But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.

And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.

And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:

(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathæa, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
