\subsection{Luke 23}
\subsubsection{\Iesous Brought Before \Pilate}
\VS{1} And when all their multitude stood up they led him to \Pilate. 
\VS{2} So they began to accusing him saying: 
We have found this [man] to be perverting our nation and forbidding tribute\footnote{or ``tax''} 
be given to Caesar, 
and saying himself [to be the] Anointed\fnChristos{} king. 
\VS{3} But \Pilate asked him saying: Are you the king of the Jews? 
So answering him he said: You say [so]. 
\VS{4} But \Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds: I find no guilt in this person\fnAnthropos{}. 
\VS{5} But they were growing insistent saying that: 
He incites the people, teaching all of Judea and beginning from \Galileias to here. 

\subsubsection{\Iesous Brought Before \Herod}
\VS{6} But \Pilate having heard asked if the man is Galilean. 
\VS{7} And having known that it is of \Herod's authority sent him to \Herod, 
he also being in \Ierous in those days. 
\VS{8} Now when \Herod saw \Iesous he rejoiced greatly, 
for he was for some time wanting to see him because of hearing concerning him, 
and he was hoping to see some sign come to pass by him. 
\VS{9} So he questioned him with many words; but he answered him nothing. 
\VS{10} But the chief priests and the scribes had stood vigorously accusing him. 
\VS{11} So \Herod having treated him with contempt [along] with his troops 
and having mocked [him], 
having seized [his] radiant clothing he sent him back to \Pilate. 
\VS{12} Now they were become friends\footnote{From PHILOS}, \Herod and \Pilate, 
in that day with each other; for they were formerly being in opposition to each other. 

\subsubsection{\Iesous Brought Before the Crowd}
\VS{13} Now \Pilate having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people 
\VS{14} said to them: 
You brought to me this man as misleading the people, 
and behold I having examined him before you found in this man no guilt of what you accuse him. 
\VS{15} But neither [did] \Herod, for he sent him back to us; 
and behold nothing worthy of death has been done by him. 
\VS{16} Therefore having disciplined him I will release him. 
\VS{17} Now he had need to release to them one [man] according to the feast
\footnote{include vs. 17: W\koine{} \vulgate{}; omit vs. 17: \papyrus{75} B}. 

\VS{18} And they cried out all together saying: 
Be taking this [man away]\footnote{"Be taking this [man away]" (AIRE) --- the verb indicating ongoing and repeated action, 
vs. "release to us" --- the verb indicating one decisive act. 
John 19:15 has "AIRE, AIRE" --- perhaps an angry mob sustaining a demand for \Iesous' death, 
against a specific, transactional request: "Release to us"?
}, and release to us Barabbas; 
\VS{19} who on account of [a] certain revolt come to pass in the city and murder, was thrown in prison. 
\VS{20} But \Pilate again called out to them: wanting to release \Iesous. 
\VS{21} But they were crying out saying: Crucify, crucify him!
\VS{22} But the third [time] he said to them: 
But what evil has this [man] done? 
I found nothing guilty of death in him. 
Therefore having disciplined [him] I will release him. 
\VS{23} But they were being urgent with great cries demanding he be crucified, 
and their cries were prevailing. 
\VS{24} And \Pilate decided to let their request come to pass. 
\VS{25} So he released the [one] because of revolt and murder thrown in prison, 
whom they demanded, but \Iesous he delivered up to their will.

\subsubsection{The Crucifixion}
\VS{26} And as they were leading him away, having taken hold of Simon [a] certain Cyrenian 
coming from the country, they laid upon him to be bearing the cross after \Iesous. 
\VS{27} Now there followed him [a] great multitude of the people and women who were bewailing and lamenting him. 
\VS{28} But having turned to them \Iesous said: 
Daughters of Jerusalem, Be not weeping over me; rather over yourselves and over your children, 
\VS{29} because behold days will come in which they will say: 
Blessed [are] the barren, and [those] bellies\footnote{That is, `wombs'} which have not begotten, 
and [those] breasts which have not given suck. 
\VS{30} Then will they begin to be saying to the mountains: 
Fall upon us, and to the hills: Cover us. 
\VS{31} Because if they do these [things] with [a] green tree, what will come to pass with the dry? 

\VS{32} Now they were also bringing two other criminals with him to be taken away. 
\VS{33} And when they came to the place called Kran\'{i}on, 
here they crucified him and the evil-doers, one on the right and one on the left. 
\VS{34} \footnote{insert ``But \Iesous was saying: Father forgive them, for they know not what they do" 
\koine{} \vulgate{}; text: \papyrus{75} BDW} 
So they threw lots, distributing his garments [amongst themselves].
\VS{35} And the people had stood observing. 
But the rulers were ridiculing [him] saying: 
He saved others, let\fnImperative{} him save himself, 
if this [one] is the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One] of God, the Chosen. 
\VS{36} The soldiers having come also mocked him, bringing sour wine to him, 
\VS{37} and saying: If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself. 
\VS{38} And there was also [an] inscription upon him: This [is] the king of the Jews. 

\VS{39} And one of the evil-doers hanging [on a cross] was slandering him: 
Aren't you the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One]? Save yourself and us. 
\VS{40} But answering, the other rebuking him said: 
Do you not fear God, because you are in this judgment? 
\VS{41} And we [are here] justly, for we receive [things] worthy of what we have done; 
but this [one] did nothing improper. 
\VS{42} And he was saying: \Iesous, remember me when you come 
into%
\footnote{``into'': \papyrus{75}B; ``in'': \sinaiticus{}AW\koine{}
}
your kingdom. 
\VS{43} And he said to him: Truly I say to you, 
\footnote{Whether this should be translated 'Truly I say to you: Today you will be with me..' 
or 'Truly I say to you today: You will be with me...' is not clear from the Greek.}  
Today will you be with me in paradise. 

\VS{44} And it was already [about] [the] sixth hour\footnote{
    Counting from dawn is about 6am, the 6th hour would be about noon.
} and darkness came to pass upon all the land until [the] ninth hour 
\VS{45} of the sun being eclipsed. And the veil of the temple was rent in the middle. 
\VS{46} And having cried out with [a] great cry \Iesous said: 
Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit.\footnote{Ps.31:5} 
And saying this he breathed out his last. 

\VS{47} But the centurion seeing what came to pass was glorifying God saying: 
Certainly this man was just. 
\VS{48} And all the crowd gathered together to observe these [things], 
having observed what came to pass, 
beating their breasts they were returning. 
\VS{49} But all those known to him had stood from afar, 
and the women who followed him from \Galileias, to see these [things]. 

\subsubsection{\Iesous's Burial}
\VS{50} And behold [a] man by name \Ioseph the member-of-the-council being present, 
[a] good and just man\fnAner{}
\VS{51} --- he was not consenting to their intention and activity --- 
from Arimathea [a] city of the Jews, 
who was expecting\footnote{or ``waiting for'', ``receiving''} the Kingdom of God, 
\VS{52} he having come to \Pilate requested the body of \Iesous, 
\VS{53} and having taken [it] down wrapped it in linen, 
and placed him in [a] tomb hewn out of rock, in which \negd{no one} was yet laid. 
\VS{54} And [the] day was of [the] preparation, and [the] Sabbath was dawning\footnote{That is, beginning. Sabbaths begin at sunset, it was `dawning' metaphorically.}. 
\VS{55} So the women following, who were come out of \Galileias with him, 
observed the tomb and as they placed his body. 
\VS{56} So having returned they prepared spices and ointments. 
And on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
