| 26 | AS THEY LED HIM AWAY to execution they seized upon a man called Simon, from Cyrene, on his way in from the country, put the cross on his back, and made him walk behind Jesus carrying it. | The Crucifixion of Jesus Lk.23.26-43 (Golgotha) | Mt.27.32-44 | Mk.15.21-32 | Jn.19.17-27 | Καὶ ὡς ἀπήγαγον αὐτόν, ἐπιλαβόμενοι Σίμωνά τινα Κυρηναῖον ἐρχόμενον ἀπ' ἀγροῦ ἐπέθηκαν αὐτῷ τὸν σταυρὸν φέρειν ὀπισθεν τοῦ Ἰησοῦ. |
| 27 | Great numbers of people followed, many women among them, who mourned and lamented over him. | Ἠκολούθει δὲ αὐτῷ πολὺ πλῆθος τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ γυναικῶν αἳ ἐκόπτοντο καὶ ἐθρήνουν αὐτόν. | |
| 28 | Jesus turned to them and said, 'Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; no, weep for yourselves and your children. | στραφεὶς δὲ πρὸς αὐτὰς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν, Θυγατέρες Ἰερουσαλήμ, μὴ κλαίετε ἐπ' ἐμέ· πλὴν ἐφ' ἑαυτὰς κλαίετε καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν, | |
| 29 | For the days are surely coming when they will say, "Happy are the barren, the wombs that never bore a child, the breasts that never fed one." | ὁτι ἰδοὺ ἐρχονται ἡμέραι ἐν αἷς ἐροῦσιν, Μακάριαι αἱ στεῖραι καὶ αἱ κοιλίαι αἳ οὐκ ἐγέννησαν καὶ μαστοὶ οἳ οὐκ ἐθρεψαν. | |
| 30 | Then they will start saying to the mountains, "Fall on us", and to the hills, "Cover us." | - Then they will begin to say to the mountains Lk.23.30 | Hs.10.8 | τότε ἀρξονται λέγειν τοῖς ὄρεσιν, Πέσετε ἐφ' ἡμᾶς, καὶ τοῖς βουνοῖς, καλύψατε ἡμᾶς· |
| 31 | For if these things are done when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?' | ὁτι εἰ ἐν τῷ ὑγρῷ ξύλῳ ταῦτα ποιοῦσιν, ἐν τῷ ξηρῷ τί γένηταὶ; | |
| 32 | There were two others with him, criminals who were being led away to execution; | Ἤγοντο δὲ καὶ ἑτεροι κακοῦργοι δύο σὺν αὐτῷ ἀναιρεθῆναι. | |
| 33 | and when they reached the place called The Skull, they crucified him there, and the criminals with him, one on his right and the other on his left. | καὶ ὅτε ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τὸν καλούμενον Κρανίον, ἐκεῖ ἐσταύρωσαν αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς κακούργους, ὃν μὲν ἐκ δεξιῶν ὃν δὲ ἐξ ἀριστερῶν. | |
| 34 | Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.' Some witnesses omit: Jesus said, 'Father ... doing.' They divided his clothes among them by casting lots. | - Father, forgive them Lk.23.34 | Is.53.12 | Ps.22.18 | ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἐλεγεν, Πάτερ, ἀφες αὐτοῖς, οὐ γὰρ οἰδασιν τί ποιοῦσιν. διαμεριζόμενοι δὲ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ ἔβαλον κλήρους. |
| 35 | The people stood looking on, and their rulers jeered at him: 'He saved others: now let him save himself, if this is God's Messiah, his Chosen.' | - scoffed at him, saying, He saved others Lk.23.35 | Ps.22.7 | καὶ εἱστήκει ὁ λαὸς θεωρῶν. ἐξεμυκτήριζον δὲ καὶ οἱ ἀρχοντες λέγοντες, Ἄλλους ἐσωσεν, σωσάτω ἑαυτόν, εἰ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Χριστὸς τοῦ θεοῦ ὁ ἐκλεκτός. |
| 36 | The soldiers joined in the mockery and came forward offering him their sour wine. | ἐνέπαιξαν δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ οἱ στρατιῶται προσερχόμενοι, ὀξος προσφέροντες αὐτῷ | |
| 37 | 'If you are the king of the Jews,' they said, 'save yourself.' | καὶ λέγοντες, Εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων, σῶσον σεαυτόν. | |
| 38 | There was an inscription above his head which ran: 'This is the king of the Jews.' | ἦν δὲ καὶ ἐπιγραφὴ ἐπ' αὐτῷ, Ο ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΤΩΝ ΙΟΥΔΑΙΩΝ ΟΥΤΟΣ. | |
| 39 | One of the criminals who hung there with him taunted him: 'Are not you the Messiah? Save yourself, and us.' | Εἷς δὲ τῶν κρεμασθέντων κακούργων ἐβλασφήμει αὐτὸν λέγων, Οὐχὶ σὺ εἶ ὁ Χριστός; σῶσον σεαυτὸν καὶ ἡμᾶς. | |
| 40 | But the other rebuked him: 'Have you no fear of God? You are under the same sentence as he. | ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἑτερος ἐπιτιμῶν αὐτῷ ἐφη, Οὐδὲ φοβῇ σὺ τὸν θεόν, ὅτι ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ κρίματι εἶ; | |
| 41 | For us it is plain justice; we are paying the price for our misdeeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.' | καὶ ἡμεῖς μὲν δικαίως, ἀξια γὰρ ὧν ἐπράξαμεν ἀπολαμβάνομεν· οὗτος δὲ οὐδὲν ἀτοπον ἐπραξεν. | |
| 42 | And he said, 'Jesus, remember me when you come to your throne.' Some witnesses read: come in royal power. | καὶ ἐλεγεν, Ἰησοῦ, μνήσθητί μου ὁταν ἐλθῃς εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν σου. | |
| 43 | He answered, 'I tell you this: today you shall be with me in Paradise.' | καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Ἀμήν σοι λέγω, σήμερον μετ' ἐμοῦ ἐσῃ ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ. | |
