Luke 23:35-56 ▼

35 And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers were also sneering with them, saying, “He saved others, let Him save Himself, if this be the Christ, the Chosen One of God.”

36 And the soldiers were also mocking Him, coming near and offering vinegar to Him,

37 and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.”

38 And there was also an inscription written over Him [[in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew]]: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

39 And one of the evildoers who were hanged was slandering Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”

40 And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, that you are in the same judgment?

41 And we indeed justly, for we are receiving back [things] worthy of what we did, but this One did nothing out of place”;

42 and he said to Jesus, “Remember me, Lord, when You may come in Your kingdom”;

43 and Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44 And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour,

45 and the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in the middle,

46 and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit”; now having said this, He breathed His last.

47 And the centurion having seen what was done, glorified God, saying, “Truly this Man was righteous”;

48 and all the multitudes having come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, turned back striking their breasts;

49 and all His acquaintances stood far off, and women who followed Him from Galilee, beholding these things.

50 And behold, a man, by name Joseph, being a counselor, a man good and righteous,

51 from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the Kingdom of God, he was not consenting to their counsel and deed,

52 he having gone near to Pilate, asked for the body of Jesus,

53 and having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a hewn out tomb, where no one was yet laid.

54 And it was [the] Day of Preparation, and Sabbath was approaching,

55 and the women who also have come with Him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how His body was placed,

56 and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the Sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.
