Luke 23:13-32
- 13
- And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
- 14
- 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:
- 15
- No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.
- 16
- I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
- 17
- (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
- 18
- And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:
- 19
- (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)
- 20
- Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.
- 21
- But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
- 22
- 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.
- 23
- And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
- 24
- And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
- 25
- 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.
- 26
- 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.
- 27
- And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
- 28
- But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
- 29
- 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.
- 30
- Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
- 31
- For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
- 32
- And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
