no cause of death did I find in him; having chastised him, then, I will release [him].` 23:23 And they were pressing with loud voices asking him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing, 23:24 and Pilate gave judgment for their request being done, 23:25 and he released him who because of sedition and murder hath been cast into the prison, whom they were asking, and Jesus he gave up to their will. 23:26 And as they led him away, having taken hold on Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they put on him the cross, to bear [it] behind Jesus. 23:27 And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him, 23:28 and Jesus having turned unto them, said, `Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, and for your children; 23:29 for, lo, days do come, in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and wombs that did not bare, and paps that did not give suck; 23:30 then they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us; -- 23:31 for, if in the green tree they do these things -- in the dry what may happen?` 23:32 And there were also others -- two evil-doers -- with him, to be put to death; 23:33 and when they came to the place that is called Skull, there they crucified him and the evil-doers, one on the right hand and one on the left. 23:34 And Jesus said, `Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;` and parting his garments they cast a lot. 23:35 And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, `Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.` 23:36 And mocking him also were the soldiers, coming near and offering vinegar to him, 23:37 and saying, `If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.` 23:38 And there was also a superscription written over him, in letters of Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew, `This is the King of the Jews.` 23:39 And one of the evil-doers who were hanged, was speaking evil of him, saying, `If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us.` 23:40 And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, `Dost thou not even fear God, that thou art in the same judgment? 23:41 and we indeed righteously, for things worthy of what we did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;` 23:42 and he said to Jesus, `Remember me, lord, when thou mayest come in thy reign;` 23:43 and Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, To-day with me thou shalt be in the paradise.` 23:44 And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land till the ninth hour, 23:45 and the sun was darkened, and the vail of the sanctuary was rent in the midst, 23:46 and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, `Father, to Thy hands I commit my spirit;` and these things having said, he breathed forth the spirit. 23:47 And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, `Really this man was righteous;` 23:48 and all the multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back; 23:49 and all his acquaintances stood afar off, and women who did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things. 23:50 And lo, a man, by name Joseph, being a counsellor, a man good and righteous, 23:51 -- he was not consenting to their counsel and deed -- from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the reign of God, 23:52 he, having gone near to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus, 23:53 and having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a tomb hewn out, where no one was yet laid. 23:54 And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching, 23:55 and the women also who have come with him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how his body was placed, 23:56 and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.
