23:1 And 2532 the whole 537 multitude 4128 of them 846 arose 450 5631, and led 71 5627 him 846 unto 1909 Pilate 4091.

23:2 And 1161 they began 756 5662 to accuse 2723 5721 him 846, saying 3004 5723, We found 2147 5627 this 5126 [fellow] perverting 1294 5723 the nation 1484, and 2532 forbidding 2967 5723 to give 1325 5721 tribute 5411 to Caesar 2541, saying 3004 5723 that he himself 1438 is 1511 5750 Christ 5547 a King 935.

23:3 And 1161 Pilate 4091 asked 1905 5656 him 846, saying 3004 5723, Art 1488 5748 thou 4771 the King 935 of the Jews 2453? And 1161 he answered 611 5679 him 846 and said 5346 5713, Thou 4771 sayest 3004 5719 [it].

23:4 Then 1161 said 2036 5627 Pilate 4091 to 4314 the chief priests 749 and 2532 [to] the people 3793, I find 2147 5719 no 3762 fault 158 in 1722 this 5129 man 444.

23:5 And 1161 they were the more fierce 2001 5707, saying 3004 5723 3754, He stirreth up 383 5719 the people 2992, teaching 1321 5723 throughout 2596 all 3650 Jewry 2449, beginning 756 5671 from 575 Galilee 1056 to 2193 this place 5602.

23:6 When 1161 Pilate 4091 heard 191 5660 of Galilee 1056, he asked 1905 5656 whether 1487 the man 444 were 2076 5748 a Galilaean 1057.

23:7 And 2532 as soon as he knew 1921 5631 that 3754 he belonged 2076 5748 unto 1537 Herod's 2264 jurisdiction 1849, he sent 375 5656 him 846 to 4314 Herod 2264, who 5607 0 himself 846 also 2532 was 5607 5752 at 1722 Jerusalem 2414 at 1722 that 5025 time 2250.

23:8 And 1161 when Herod 2264 saw 1492 5631 Jesus 2424, he was exceeding 3029 glad 5463 5644: for 1063 he was 2258 5713 desirous 2309 5723 to see 1492 5629 him 846 of 1537 a long 2425 [season], because 1223 he had heard 191 5721 many things 4183 of 4012 him 846; and 2532 he hoped 1679 5707 to have seen 1492 5629 some 5100 miracle 4592 done 1096 5740 by 5259 him 846.

23:9 Then 1161 he questioned 1905 5707 with him 846 in 1722 many 2425 words 3056; but 1161 he 846 answered 611 5662 him 846 nothing 3762.

23:10 And 1161 the chief priests 749 and 2532 scribes 1122 stood 2476 5715 and vehemently 2159 accused 2723 5723 him 846.

23:11 And 1161 Herod 2264 with 4862 his 846 men of war 4753 set 1848 0 him 846 at nought 1848 5660, and 2532 mocked 1702 5660 [him], and arrayed 4016 5631 him 846 in a gorgeous 2986 robe 2066, and sent 375 0 him 846 again 375 5656 to Pilate 4091.

23:12 And 1161 3739 the same 1722 846 day 2250 Pilate 4091 and 2532 Herod 2264 were made 1096 5633 friends 5384 together 3326 5037 240: for 1063 before 4391 5707 they were 5607 5752 at 1722 enmity 2189 between 4314 themselves 1438.

23:13 And 1161 Pilate 4091, when he had called together 4779 5671 the chief priests 749 and 2532 the rulers 758 and 2532 the people 2992,

23:14 Said 2036 5627 unto 4314 them 846, Ye have brought 4374 5656 this 5129 man 444 unto me 3427, as 5613 one that perverteth 654 5723 the people 2992: and 2532, behold 2400 5628, I 1473, having examined 350 5660 [him] before 1799 you 5216, have found 2147 5627 no 3762 fault 158 in 1722 this 5126 man 444 touching those things 3739 whereof 2596 ye accuse 2723 5719 him 846:

23:15 No 235, nor yet 3761 Herod 2264: for 1063 I sent 375 5656 you 5209 to 4314 him 846; and 2532, lo 2400 5628, nothing 3762 worthy 514 of death 2288 is 2076 5748 done 4238 5772 unto him 846.

23:16 I will 3811 0 therefore 3767 chastise 3811 5660 him 846, and release 630 5692 [him].

23:17 (For 1161 of necessity 318 he must 2192 5707 release 630 5721 one 1520 unto them 846 at 2596 the feast 1859.)

23:18 And 1161 they cried out 349 5656 all at once 3826, saying 3004 5723, Away with 142 5720 this 5126 [man], and 1161 release 630 5657 unto us 2254 Barabbas 912:

23:19 (Who 3748 for 2258 5713 1223 a certain 5100 sedition 4714 made 1096 5637 in 1722 the city 4172, and 2532 for murder 5408, was cast 906 5772 into 1519 prison 5438.)

23:20 Pilate 4091 therefore 3767, willing 2309 5723 to release 630 5658 Jesus 2424, spake 4377 0 again 3825 to them 4377 5656.

23:21 But 1161 they cried 2019 5707, saying 3004 5723, Crucify 4717 5657 [him], crucify 4717 5657 him 846.

23:22 And 1161 he said 2036 5627 unto 4314 them 846 the third time 5154, Why 1063, what 5101 evil 2556 hath 4160 0 he 3778 done 4160 5656? I have found 2147 5627 no 3762 cause 158 of death 2288 in 1722 him 846: I will 3811 0 therefore 3767 chastise 3811 5660 him 846, and let [him] go 630 5692.

23:23 And 1161 they were instant 1945 5711 with loud 3173 voices 5456, requiring 154 5734 that he 846 might be crucified 4717 5683. And 2532 the voices 5456 of them 846 and 2532 of the chief priests 749 prevailed 2729 5707.

23:24 And 1161 Pilate 4091 gave sentence 1948 5656 that it should be as 1096 5635 they 846 required 155.(gave…: or, assented)

23:25 And 1161 he released 630 5656 unto them 846 him that for 1223 sedition 4714 and 2532 murder 5408 was cast 906 5772 into 1519 prison 5438, whom 3739 they had desired 154 5710; but 1161 he delivered 3860 5656 Jesus 2424 to their 846 will 2307.

23:26 And 2532 as 5613 they led 520 0 him 846 away 520 5627, they laid hold upon 1949 5637 one 5100 Simon 4613, a Cyrenian 2956, coming 2064 5740 out of 575 the country 68, and on 2007 0 him 846 they laid 2007 5656 the cross 4716, that he might bear 5342 5721 [it] after 3693 Jesus 2424.

23:27 And 1161 there followed 190 5707 him 846 a great 4183 company 4128 of people 2992, and 2532 of women 1135, which 3739 also 2532 bewailed 2875 5710 and 2532 lamented 2354 5707 him 846.

23:28 But 1161 Jesus 2424 turning 4762 5651 unto 4314 them 846 said 2036 5627, Daughters 2364 of Jerusalem 2419, weep 2799 5720 not 3361 for 1909 me 1691, but 4133 weep 2799 5720 for 1909 yourselves 1438, and 2532 for 1909 your 5216 children 5043.

23:29 For 3754, behold 2400 5628, the days 2250 are coming 2064 5736, in 1722 the which 3739 they shall say 2046 5692, Blessed 3107 [are] the barren 4723, and 2532 the wombs 2836 that 3739 never 3756 bare 1080 5656, and 2532 the paps 3149 which 3739 never 3756 gave suck 2337 5656.

23:30 Then 5119 shall they begin 756 5698 to say 3004 5721 to the mountains 3735, Fall 4098 5628 on 1909 us 2248; and 2532 to the hills 1015, Cover 2572 5657 us 2248.

23:31 For 3754 if 1487 they do 4160 5719 these things 5023 in 1722 a green 5200 tree 3586, what 5101 shall be done 1096 5638 in 1722 the dry 3584?

23:32 And 1161 there were also 2532 two 1417 other 2087, malefactors 2557, led 71 5712 with 4862 him 846 to be put to death 337 5683.

23:33 And 2532 when 3753 they were come 565 5627 to 1909 the place 5117, which 3588 is called 2564 5746 Calvary 2898, there 1563 they crucified 4717 5656 him 846, and 2532 the malefactors 2557, one 3739 3303 on 1537 the right hand 1188, and 1161 the other 3739 on 1537 the left 710.(Calvary: or, The place of a skull)

23:34 Then 1161 said 3004 5707 Jesus 2424, Father 3962, forgive 863 5628 them 846; for 1063 they know 1492 5758 not 3756 what 5101 they do 4160 5719. And 1161 they parted 1266 5734 his 846 raiment 2440, and cast 906 5627 lots 2819.

23:35 And 2532 the people 2992 stood 2476 5715 beholding 2334 5723. And 1161 the rulers 758 also 2532 with 4862 them 846 derided 1592 5707 [him], saying 3004 5723, He saved 4982 5656 others 243; let him save 4982 5657 himself 1438, if 1487 he 3778 be 2076 5748 Christ 5547, the chosen 1588 of God 2316.

23:36 And 1161 the soldiers 4757 also 2532 mocked 1702 5707 him 846, coming 4334 5740 to him, and 2532 offering 4374 5723 him 846 vinegar 3690,

23:37 And 2532 saying 3004 5723, If 1487 thou 4771 be 1488 5748 the king 935 of the Jews 2453, save 4982 5657 thyself 4572.

23:38 And 1161 a superscription 1923 also 2532 was 2258 5713 written 1125 5772 over 1909 him 846 in letters 1121 of Greek 1673, and 2532 Latin 4513, and 2532 Hebrew 1444, THIS 3778 IS 2076 5748 THE KING 935 OF THE JEWS 2453.

23:39 And 1161 one 1520 of the malefactors 2557 which were hanged 2910 5685 railed 987 5707 on him 846, saying 3004 5723, If 1487 thou 4771 be 1488 5748 Christ 5547, save 4982 5657 thyself 4572 and 2532 us 2248.

23:40 But 1161 the other 2087 answering 611 5679 rebuked 2008 5707 him 846, saying 3004 5723, Dost 5399 0 not 3761 thou 4771 fear 5399 5736 God 2316, seeing 3754 thou art 1488 5748 in 1722 the same 846 condemnation 2917?

23:41 And 2532 we 2249 indeed 3303 justly 1346; for 1063 we receive 618 5719 the due reward 514 of our 3739 deeds 4238 5656: but 1161 this man 3778 hath done 4238 5656 nothing 3762 amiss 824.

23:42 And 2532 he said 3004 5707 unto Jesus 2424, Lord 2962, remember 3415 5682 me 3450 when 3752 thou comest 2064 5632 into 1722 thy 4675 kingdom 932.

23:43 And 2532 Jesus 2424 said 2036 5627 unto him 846, Verily 281 I say 3004 5719 unto thee 4671, To day 4594 shalt thou be 2071 5704 with 3326 me 1700 in 1722 paradise 3857.

23:44 And 1161 it was 2258 5713 about 5616 the sixth 1623 hour 5610, and 2532 there was 1096 5633 a darkness 4655 over 1909 all 3650 the earth 1093 until 2193 the ninth 1766 hour 5610.(earth: or, land)

23:45 And 2532 the sun 2246 was darkened 4654 5681, and 2532 the veil 2665 of the temple 3485 was rent 4977 5681 in the midst 3319.

23:46 And 2532 when Jesus 2424 had cried 5455 5660 with a loud 3173 voice 5456, he said 2036 5627, Father 3962, into 1519 thy 4675 hands 5495 I commend 3908 5695 my 3450 spirit 4151: and 2532 having said 2036 5631 thus 5023, he gave up the ghost 1606 5656.

23:47 Now 1161 when the centurion 1543 saw 1492 5631 what was done 1096 5637, he glorified 1392 5656 God 2316, saying 3004 5723, Certainly 3689 this 3778 was 2258 5713 a righteous 1342 man 444.

23:48 And 2532 all 3956 the people 3793 that came together 4836 5637 to 1909 that 5026 sight 2335, beholding 2334 5723 the things which were done 1096 5637, smote 5180 5723 their 1438 breasts 4738, and returned 5290 5707.

23:49 And 1161 all 3956 his 846 acquaintance 1110, and 2532 the women 1135 that followed 4870 5660 him 846 from 575 Galilee 1056, stood 2476 5715 afar off 3113, beholding 3708 5723 these things 5023.

23:50 And 2532, behold 2400 5628, [there was] a man 435 named 3686 Joseph 2501, a counsellor 1010; [and he was] a good 5225 5723 18 man 435, and 2532 a just 1342:

23:51 (The same 3778 had 4784 0 not 3756 consented 4784 5768 2258 5713 to the counsel 1012 and 2532 deed 4234 of them 846;) [he was] of 575 Arimathaea 707, a city 4172 of the Jews 2453: 2532 who 3739 also 2532 himself 846 waited for 4327 5711 the kingdom 932 of God 2316.

23:52 This 3778 [man] went 4334 5631 unto Pilate 4091, and begged 154 5668 the body 4983 of Jesus 2424.

23:53 And 2532 he took 2507 0 it 846 down 2507 5631, and wrapped 1794 5656 it 846 in linen 4616, and 2532 laid 5087 5656 it 846 in 1722 a sepulchre 3418 that was hewn in stone 2991, wherein 3757 never 3756 man 3764 before 3762 was 2258 5713 laid 2749 5740.

23:54 And 2532 that day 2250 was 2258 5713 the preparation 3904, and 2532 the sabbath 4521 drew on 2020 5707.

23:55 And 1161 the women 1135 also 2532, which 3748 came 2258 5713 4905 5761 with him 846 from 1537 Galilee 1056, followed after 2628 5660, and beheld 2300 5662 the sepulchre 3419, and 2532 how 5613 his 846 body 4983 was laid 5087 5681.

23:56 And they returned 5290 5660, and 1161 prepared 2090 5656 spices 759 and 2532 ointments 3464; and 2532 rested 2270 5656 3303 the sabbath day 4521 according 2596 to the commandment 1785.
