Lukas 23

Jesus förhörs av Pilatus
(Matt 27:11-14; Mark 15:1-5; Joh 18:28-37)
23 Alla de församlade gick sedan iväg och förde Jesus till Pilatus.[a] 2 Där anklagade de honom och sa: ”Den här mannen leder vårt folk vilse. Han påstår att vi inte ska betala skatt till kejsaren och ger sig ut för att vara Messias, en kung.”
3 Då frågade Pilatus honom: ”Är du judarnas kung?” Men Jesus svarade: ”Det är du själv som säger det.”
4 Pilatus sa då till översteprästerna och folkmassan: ”Jag kan inte finna den här mannen skyldig till något brott.”
5 Men de envisades och sa: ”Han hetsar upp folket med sin undervisning överallt i hela Judeen, från Galileen och ända hit.”
Jesus inför Herodes
6 När Pilatus hörde detta, frågade han: ”Är mannen från Galileen?” 7 Och när han fick reda på att Jesus kom från Herodes område, skickade han honom till Herodes, som just då befann sig i Jerusalem.
8 Herodes blev mycket glad över att få träffa Jesus, för det hade han önskat länge, eftersom han hade hört mycket om honom och hoppades få se honom göra något tecken. 9 Han ställde därför fråga på fråga till Jesus, men Jesus svarade honom inte. 10 Under tiden stod översteprästerna och de skriftlärda där och fortsatte med sina våldsamma anklagelser. 11 Till slut började Herodes och hans soldater att håna och förlöjliga Jesus. Sedan satte de på honom en praktfull mantel och skickade honom tillbaka till Pilatus. 12 Från den dagen blev Herodes och Pilatus vänner med varandra. De hade tidigare varit fiender.
Pilatus dömer Jesus till döden
(Matt 27:15-26; Mark 15:6-15; Joh 18:39—19:16)
13 Sedan kallade Pilatus samman översteprästerna, medlemmarna i rådet och folket, 14 och sa till dem: ”Ni har fört den här mannen till mig och anklagat honom för att hetsa upp folket. Jag har förhört honom i er närvaro, och finner honom inte skyldig till era anklagelser. 15 Herodes har kommit till samma slutsats och har därför sänt honom tillbaka hit. Ingenting som den här mannen har gjort förtjänar döden. 16 Därför tänker jag bara straffa honom och sedan släppa honom fri.”[b]
18 Då började hela folkhopen skrika: ”Döda honom, och släpp Barabbas fri istället!” 19 (Barabbas satt fängslad för ett upplopp i staden och mord.) 20 Än en gång försökte Pilatus att diskutera med dem, för han ville gärna släppa Jesus fri. 21 Men de ropade utan uppehåll: ”Korsfäst honom, korsfäst honom!”
22 För tredje gången frågade Pilatus: ”Vad har han gjort för ont? Jag har inte funnit honom skyldig till något som förtjänar döden. Jag kommer bara att straffa honom och sedan låta honom gå.”
23 Men folket skrek utan uppehåll att Jesus skulle korsfästas, och till slut gav deras rop effekt. 24 Pilatus bestämde sig för att göra som de krävde. 25 Han frigav mannen som satt i fängelse för upplopp och mord. Men Jesus överlämnade han åt dem så att de fick göra som de ville.
Jesus korsfästs
(Matt 27:32-44; Mark 15:21-32; Joh 19:17-24)
26 När de förde bort honom grep de tag i en man från Kyrene[c] som hette Simon. Han var på väg in från landsbygden, och de lade korset på honom och lät honom bära det efter Jesus.
27 En stor folkmassa följde med Jesus, bland annat många sörjande och gråtande kvinnor. 28 Men Jesus vände sig till dem och sa: ”Jerusalems döttrar! Gråt inte över mig, utan gråt över er själva och era barn. 29 Det kommer en tid, då man ska säga: Lyckliga är de ofruktsamma, de kvinnor som aldrig har fött barn eller ammat. 30 Då
ska man säga till bergen: Dölj oss!
och till höjderna: Fall över oss![d]
31 För om de gör så här mot det gröna trädet, vad kommer då inte att hända med det torra?”
32 Två brottslingar fördes också ut för att avrättas tillsammans med Jesus. 33 Och när man kom till den plats som kallas Skallen korsfäste de honom tillsammans med brottslingarna, en på var sida om honom. 34 Jesus bad: ”Fader, förlåt dem, för de vet inte vad de gör.” De kastade sedan lott om hans kläder och delade dem mellan sig.[e]
35 Folkhopen stod och tittade på, och medlemmarna i rådet hånade honom: ”Han var bra på att rädda andra”, sa de. ”Nu får han rädda sig själv, om han är Guds Messias, den utvalde.”
36 Även soldaterna hånade honom. De räckte honom surt vin 37 och sa: ”Om du är judarnas kung, så rädda dig själv!” 38 Man hade nämligen satt upp en skylt ovanför Jesus, där det stod: Detta är judarnas kung.
39 En av de brottslingar som hängde där hånade honom också och sa: ”Är det inte du som är Messias? Rädda då dig själv och oss!”
40 Men den andra brottslingen tillrättavisade honom och sa: ”Fruktar du inte ens Gud, du som fått samma dom? 41 Vi får det vi förtjänar, vi har dömts för våra brott, men den här mannen har inte gjort något ont.” 42 Sedan sa han: ”Jesus, kom ihåg mig den dag du kommer med ditt rike.”
43 Jesus svarade: ”Sannerligen säger jag dig att du idag ska vara med mig i paradiset.”[f]
Jesus dör på korset
(Matt 27:45-56; Mark 15:33-41; Joh 19:28-30)
44 Klockan var nu runt tolv på dagen. Då blev det mörkt över hela jorden ända fram till klockan tre, 45 för solen förmörkades helt. Och förhänget [g] i templet brast i två delar. 46 Samtidigt ropade Jesus med hög röst: ”Fader, i dina händer överlämnar jag min ande”[h], och med de orden slutade han att andas.
47 Den romerska officeren, som såg vad som hände, prisade då Gud och sa: ”Han måste verkligen ha varit en rättfärdig man.” 48 När folket, som hade samlats för att se på, såg vad som hände, slog de sig mot bröstet och gick hem. 49 Men alla hans vänner, däribland kvinnorna som hade följt med honom från Galileen, stod på avstånd och såg alltihop.
Jesus begravs
(Matt 27:57-61; Mark 15:42-47; Joh 19:38-42)
50 Nu fanns det en man som hette Josef och var medlem i rådet, en god och rättfärdig man, 51 som inte var delaktig i de andras beslut och handlingar. Han var från staden Arimataia i Judeen och väntade på Guds rike. 52 Josef gick till Pilatus och bad att få Jesus kropp. 53 Han tog sedan ner kroppen och lindade den i linnetyg och lade den i en grav som var uthuggen i en klippa och där ännu ingen hade blivit lagd. 54 Detta var på förberedelsedagen, just innan sabbaten skulle börja.
55 Kvinnorna som hade följt med Jesus från Galileen gick efter och såg hur hans kropp lades i graven. 56 Sedan gick de hem och gjorde i ordning välluktande oljor. Men på sabbaten höll de sig stilla, i enlighet med budordet.

English Standard Version
Jesus Before Pilate
23 (A)Then the whole company of them arose and brought him before Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man (B)misleading our nation and (C)forbidding us to give tribute to (D)Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, (E)a king.” 3 (F)And Pilate asked him, (G)“Are you the King of the Jews?” And he answered him, (H)“You have said so.” 4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, (I)“I find no guilt in this man.” 5 But they were urgent, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, (J)from Galilee even to this place.”
Jesus Before Herod
6 When Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. 7 And when he learned that he belonged to (K)Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who was himself in Jerusalem at that time. 8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, (L)for he had long desired to see him, (M)because he had heard about him, and he was hoping (N)to see some sign done by him. 9 So he questioned him at some length, but he made no answer. 10 The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him. 11 And Herod with his soldiers (O)treated him with contempt and (P)mocked him. Then, (Q)arraying him in splendid clothing, he sent him back to Pilate. 12 And (R)Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been at enmity with each other.
13 Pilate then called together the chief priests and (S)the rulers and the people, 14 and said to them, “You brought me this man (T)as one who was misleading the people. And (U)after examining him before you, behold, I (V)did not find this man guilty of any of your charges against him. 15 Neither did Herod, for (W)he sent him back to us. Look, nothing deserving death has been done by him. 16 (X)I will therefore punish and release him.”[a]
Pilate Delivers Jesus to Be Crucified
18 (Y)But they all cried out together, (Z)“Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas”— 19 a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection started in the city and (AA)for murder. 20 Pilate addressed them once more, desiring to release Jesus, 21 but they kept shouting, “Crucify, crucify him!” 22 A third time he said to them, “Why? (AB)What evil has he done? (AC)I have found in him no guilt deserving death. (AD)I will therefore punish and release him.” 23 But they were urgent, demanding with loud cries that he should be crucified. And their voices prevailed. 24 So Pilate decided that their demand should be granted. 25 He released the man who had been thrown into prison (AE)for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, (AF)but he delivered Jesus over to their will.
The Crucifixion
26 (AG)And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus. 27 And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were (AH)mourning and lamenting for him. 28 But turning to them Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For behold, (AI)the days are coming when they will say, (AJ)‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ 30 (AK)Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ 31 For (AL)if they do these things when (AM)the wood is green, what will happen (AN)when it is dry?”
32 (AO)Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him. 33 (AP)And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, (AQ)one on his right and one on his left. 34 And Jesus said, “Father, (AR)forgive them, (AS)for they know not what they do.”[b] And they cast lots (AT)to divide his garments. 35 And (AU)the people stood by, watching, (AV)but (AW)the rulers (AX)scoffed at him, saying, (AY)“He saved others; (AZ)let him save himself, (BA)if he is (BB)the Christ of God, (BC)his Chosen One!” 36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and (BD)offering him sour wine 37 and saying, (BE)“If you are (BF)the King of the Jews, save yourself!” 38 (BG)There was also an inscription over him,[c] “This is (BH)the King of the Jews.”
39 (BI)One of the criminals who were hanged (BJ)railed at him,[d] saying, “Are you not (BK)the Christ? Save yourself and us!” 40 But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” 42 And he said, “Jesus, remember me (BL)when you come into your kingdom.” 43 And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in (BM)paradise.”
The Death of Jesus
44 (BN)It was now about the sixth hour,[e] and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour,[f] 45 while the sun's light failed. And (BO)the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46 Then Jesus, (BP)calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, (BQ)into your hands I (BR)commit my spirit!” And having said this (BS)he breathed his last. 47 Now (BT)when the centurion saw what had taken place, (BU)he praised God, saying, “Certainly this man was innocent!” 48 And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home (BV)beating their breasts. 49 And all (BW)his acquaintances and (BX)the women who had followed him from Galilee (BY)stood at a distance watching these things.
Jesus Is Buried
50 (BZ)Now there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man, 51 who had not consented to their decision and action; and he (CA)was looking for the kingdom of God. 52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53 Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud and (CB)laid him in a tomb cut in stone, (CC)where no one had ever yet been laid. 54 It was the day of (CD)Preparation, and the Sabbath was beginning.[g] 55 (CE)The women (CF)who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid. 56 Then they returned and (CG)prepared spices and ointments.
On the Sabbath they rested (CH)according to the commandment.

New King James Version
Jesus Handed Over to Pontius Pilate(A)
23 Then (B)the whole multitude of them arose and led Him to (C)Pilate. 2 And they began to (D)accuse Him, saying, “We found this fellow (E)perverting [a]the nation, and (F)forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying (G)that He Himself is Christ, a King.”
3 (H)Then Pilate asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
He answered him and said, “It is as you say.”
4 So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, (I)“I find no fault in this Man.”
5 But they were the more fierce, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from (J)Galilee to this place.”
Jesus Faces Herod
6 When Pilate heard [b]of Galilee, he asked if the Man were a Galilean. 7 And as soon as he knew that He belonged to (K)Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time. 8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, (L)he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see Him, because (M)he had heard many things about Him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by Him. 9 Then he questioned Him with many words, but He answered him (N)nothing. 10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused Him. 11 (O)Then Herod, with his [c]men of war, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate. 12 That very day (P)Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for previously they had been at enmity with each other.
Taking the Place of Barabbas(Q)
13 (R)Then Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people, 14 said to them, (S)“You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, (T)having examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him; 15 no, neither did Herod, for [d]I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing deserving of death has been done by Him. 16 (U)I will therefore chastise Him and release Him” 17 (V)(for[e] it was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast).
18 And (W)they all cried out at once, saying, “Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas”— 19 who had been thrown into prison for a certain rebellion made in the city, and for murder.
20 Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them. 21 But they shouted, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!”
22 Then he said to them the third time, “Why, what evil has He done? I have found no reason for death in Him. I will therefore chastise Him and let Him go.”
23 But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men [f]and of the chief priests prevailed. 24 So (X)Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested. 25 (Y)And he released [g]to them the one they requested, who for rebellion and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
The King on a Cross(Z)
26 (AA)Now as they led Him away, they laid hold of a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross that he might bear it after Jesus.
27 And a great multitude of the people followed Him, and women who also mourned and lamented Him. 28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 (AB)For indeed the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts which never nursed!’ 30 Then they will begin (AC)‘to say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!” ’ 31 (AD)For if they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry?”
32 (AE)There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death. 33 And (AF)when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left. 34 [h]Then Jesus said, “Father, (AG)forgive them, for (AH)they do not know what they do.”
And (AI)they divided His garments and cast lots. 35 And (AJ)the people stood looking on. But even the (AK)rulers with them sneered, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God.”
36 The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him (AL)sour wine, 37 and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.”
38 (AM)And an inscription also was [i]written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew:
THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 (AN)Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, [j]“If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”
40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done (AO)nothing wrong.” 42 Then he said [k]to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”
43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in (AP)Paradise.”
Jesus Dies on the Cross(AQ)
44 (AR)Now it [l]was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 45 Then the sun was [m]darkened, and (AS)the veil of the temple was torn in [n]two. 46 And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, (AT)‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’ ” (AU)Having said this, He breathed His last.
47 (AV)So when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous Man!”
48 And the whole crowd who came together to that sight, seeing what had been done, beat their breasts and returned. 49 (AW)But all His acquaintances, and the women who followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb(AX)
50 (AY)Now behold, there was a man named Joseph, a council member, a good and just man. 51 He had not consented to their decision and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, (AZ)who[o] himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God. 52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53 (BA)Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before. 54 That day was (BB)the Preparation, and the Sabbath drew near.
55 And the women (BC)who had come with Him from Galilee followed after, and (BD)they observed the tomb and how His body was laid. 56 Then they returned and (BE)prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath (BF)according to the commandment.
