Luke 23:13–34

¹³And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, ¹⁴said unto them, ^yYe have brought this man unto me, as one that ^bperverteth the people: and behold, I, ^zhaving examined him before you, ^ahave found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: ¹⁵no, nor yet Herod: for ^mI sent you to him; and lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. ^16bI will therefore chastise him, and release him. ^17c(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) ¹⁸And they cried out all at once, saying, ^dAway with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: ¹⁹(who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for ^dmurder, was cast into prison.) ²⁰Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. ²¹But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. ²²And he said unto them ^ethe third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: ^bI will therefore chastise him, and let him go. ²³And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. ²⁴And Pilate ^fgave sentence that it should be as they required. ²⁵And he released unto them ^dhim that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; ^gbut he delivered Jesus to their will.

^26hAnd 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. ²⁷And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also ⁱbewailed and lamented him. ²⁸But Jesus turning unto them, said, ^kDaughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. ²⁹For behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, ^lBlessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. ^30mThen shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. ³¹For if they do these things in ⁿa green tree, ^owhat shall be done in the dry? ^32pAnd there were also two ^qother, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

^33rAnd when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, ^pand the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. ³⁴Then said Jesus, ^sFather, ^tforgive them; for ^uthey know not what they do. And ^xthey parted his raiment, and cast lots.
