Luke 23:13–34

¹³And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people, ¹⁴said unto them, ‘Ye brought to me this man as perverting the people, and lo, I before you having examined, found in this man no fault in those things ye bring forward against him; ¹⁵no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you back unto him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is having been done by him; ¹⁶having chastised, therefore, I will release him,’ ¹⁷for it was necessary for him to release to them one at every feast, ¹⁸and they cried out—the whole multitude—saying, ‘Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,’ ¹⁹who had been, because of a certain sedition made in the city, and murder, cast into prison. ²⁰Pilate again then—wishing to release Jesus—called to them, ²¹but they were calling out, saying, ‘Crucify, crucify him.’ ²²And he a third time said unto them, ‘Why, what evil did he? no cause of death did I find in him; having chastised him, then, I will release him.’ ²³And they were pressing with loud voices asking him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing, ²⁴and Pilate gave judgment for their request being done, ²⁵and 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.

²⁶And 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. ²⁷And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him, ²⁸and Jesus having turned unto them, said, ‘Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, and for your children; ²⁹for, 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; ³⁰then they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us;— ³¹for, if in the green tree they do these things—in the dry what may happen?’

³²And there were also others—two evil-doers—with him, to be put to death; ³³and 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. ³⁴And Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;’ and parting his garments they cast a lot.
