Luke 23

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Peshitta
1 And the entire multitude of them, rising up, led him to Pilate.	1 ܘܩܡܘ ܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܗܘܢ ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܀
2 Then they began to accuse him, saying, “We found this one subverting our nation, and prohibiting giving tribute to Caesar, and saying that he is Christ the king.”	2 ܘܫܪܝܘ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܩܪܨܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗܢܐ ܐܫܟܚܢ ܕܡܛܥܐ ܥܡܢ ܘܟܠܐ ܕܟܤܦ ܪܫܐ ܠܩܤܪ ܠܐ ܢܬܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
3 And Pilate questioned him, saying: “You are the king of the Jews?” But in response, he said: “You are saying it.”	3 ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܫܐܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܐܡܪܬ ܀
4 Then Pilate said to the leaders of the priests and to the crowds, “I find no case against this man.”	4 ܘܐܡܪ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܠܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܠܟܢܫܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܥܠܬܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܀
5 But they continued more intensely, saying: “He has stirred up the people, teaching throughout all of Judea, beginning from Galilee, even to this place.”	5 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܙܥܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܫܓܫܗ ܠܥܡܢ ܟܕ ܡܠܦ ܒܟܠܗ ܝܗܘܕ ܘܫܪܝ ܡܢ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܪܟܐ ܀
6 But Pilate, upon hearing Galilee, asked if the man were of Galilee.	6 ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܫܡܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܫܐܠ ܕܐܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܘ ܓܠܝܠܝܐ ܀
7 And when he realized that he was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod, who was himself also at Jerusalem in those days.	7 ܘܟܕ ܝܕܥ ܕܡܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܗܪܘܕܤ ܫܕܪܗ ܠܘܬܗ ܕܗܪܘܕܤ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܗܘܐ ܒܗܢܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܀
8 Then Herod, upon seeing Jesus, was very glad. For he had been wanting to see him for a long time, because he had heard so many things about him, and he was hoping to see some kind of sign wrought by him.	8 ܗܪܘܕܤ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܚܕܝ ܛܒ ܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܡܚܙܝܗ ܡܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܫܡܥ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܘܡܤܒܪ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܕܡ ܐܬܐ ܢܚܙܐ ܡܢܗ ܀
9 Then he questioned him with many words. But he gave him no response at all.	9 ܘܡܠܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܡܫܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܝܒܗ ܀
10 And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, stood firm in persistently accusing him.	10 ܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܥܙܝܙܐܝܬ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܩܪܨܘܗܝ ܀
11 Then Herod, with his soldiers, scorned him. And he ridiculed him, clothing him in a white garment. And he sent him back to Pilate.	11 ܗܪܘܕܤ ܕܝܢ ܫܛܗ ܗܘ ܘܦܠܚܘܗܝ ܘܟܕ ܡܒܙܚ ܐܠܒܫܗ ܢܚܬܐ ܕܙܚܘܪܝܬܐ ܘܫܕܪܗ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܀
12 And Herod and Pilate became friends on that day. For previously they were enemies to one another.	12 ܘܒܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܗܘܘ ܪܚܡܐ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܘܗܪܘܕܤ ܥܡ ܚܕܕܐ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܘܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ ܀
13 And Pilate, calling together the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates, and the people,	13 ܩܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܠܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܠܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܘܠܥܡܐ ܀
14 said to them: “You have brought before me this man, as one who disturbs the people. And behold, having questioned him before you, I find no case against this man, in those things about which you accuse him.	14 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܩܪܒܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܗܦܟ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܘܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܩܒܬܗ ܠܥܢܝܟܘܢ ܘܥܠܬܐ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܒܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܕܡܪܫܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܗ ܀
15 And neither did Herod. For I sent you all to him, and behold, nothing deserving of death was recorded about him.	15 ܐܠܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܫܕܪܬܗ ܓܝܪ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܗܐ ܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܫܘܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܤܥܝܪ ܠܗ ܀
16 Therefore, I will chastise him and release him.”	16 ܐܪܕܝܘܗܝ ܗܟܝܠ ܘܐܫܒܩܝܘܗܝ ܀
17 Now he was required to release one person for them on the feast day.	17 ܥܝܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܫܪܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܕ ܒܥܕܥܕܐ ܀
18 But the entire crowd exclaimed together, saying: “Take this one, and release to us Barabbas!”	18 ܩܥܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܫܩܘܠܝܗܝ ܠܗܢܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܢ ܠܒܪ ܐܒܐ ܀
19 Now he had been cast into prison because of a certain sedition that occurred in the city and for murder.	19 ܗܘ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܛܠ ܐܤܛܤܝܤ ܕܗܘܬ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܩܛܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܀
20 Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus.	20 ܬܘܒ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܟܕ ܨܒܐ ܕܢܫܪܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܀
21 But they shouted in response, saying: “Crucify him! Crucify him!”	21 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܩܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܙܩܘܦܝܗܝ ܙܩܘܦܝܗܝ ܀
22 Then he said to them a third time: “Why? What evil has he done? I find no case against him for death. Therefore, I will chastise him and release him.”	22 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܝܫ ܥܒܕ ܗܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܫܘܝܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܒܗ ܐܪܕܝܘܗܝ ܗܟܝܠ ܘܐܫܒܩܝܘܗܝ ܀
23 But they persisted, with loud voices, in demanding that he be crucified. And their voices increased in intensity.	23 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܬܟܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܫܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܕܢܙܩܦܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܥܫܢ ܗܘܐ ܩܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܘܕܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܀
24 And so Pilate issued a judgment granting their petition.	24 ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܦܩܕ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܫܐܠܬܗܘܢ ܀
25 Then he released for them the one who had been cast into prison for murder and sedition, whom they were requesting. Yet truly, Jesus he handed over to their will.	25 ܘܫܪܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܗܘ ܕܡܛܠ ܐܤܛܤܝܤ ܘܩܛܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܫܐܠܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܫܠܡ ܠܨܒܝܢܗܘܢ ܀
26 And as they were leading him away, they apprehended a certain one, Simon of Cyrene, as he was returning from the countryside. And they imposed the cross on him to carry after Jesus.	26 ܘܟܕ ܡܘܒܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܚܕܘ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܘܪܝܢܝܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܡܢ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܘܤܡܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܙܩܝܦܐ ܕܢܛܥܢ ܒܬܪܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܀
27 Then a great crowd of people followed him, with women who were mourning and lamenting him.	27 ܘܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܬܪܗ ܤܘܓܐܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܘܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܪܩܕܢ ܗܘܝ ܘܐܠܝܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܀
28 But Jesus, turning to them, said: “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over me. Instead, weep over yourselves and over your children.	28 ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܘܬܗܝܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܒܢܬ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܐ ܬܒܟܝܢ ܥܠܝ ܒܪܡ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܟܝܢ ܒܟܝܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܒܢܝܟܝܢ ܀
29 For behold, the days will arrive in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the breasts that have not nursed.’	29 ܕܗܐ ܐܬܝܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܒܗܘܢ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܛܘܒܝܗܝܢ ܠܥܩܪܬܐ ܘܠܟܪܤܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܝܠܕ ܘܠܬܕܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܝܢܩܘ ܀
30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall over us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’	30 ܗܝܕܝܢ ܬܫܪܘܢ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܕܦܠܘ ܥܠܝܢ ܘܠܪܡܬܐ ܕܟܤܝܢܢ ܀
31 For if they do these things with green wood, what will be done with the dry?”	31 ܕܐܢ ܒܩܝܤܐ ܪܛܝܒܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܒܝܒܝܫܐ ܡܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܀
32 Now they also led out two other criminals with him, in order to execute them.	32 ܘܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܬܪܝܢ ܐܚܪܢܝܢ ܥܒܕܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܢܬܩܛܠܘܢ ܀
33 And when they arrived at the place that is called Calvary, they crucified him there, with the robbers, one to the right and the other to the left.	33 ܘܟܕ ܐܬܘ ܠܕܘܟܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܩܪܩܦܬܐ ܙܩܦܘܗܝ ܬܡܢ ܘܠܗܢܘܢ ܥܒܕܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܗ ܘܚܕ ܡܢ ܤܡܠܗ ܀
34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them. For they know not what they do.” And truly, dividing his garments, they cast lots.	34 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܐܒܐ ܫܒܘܩ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܘܦܠܓܘ ܢܚܬܘܗܝ ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܦܤܐ ܀
35 And people were standing near, watching. And the leaders among them derided him, saying: “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this one is the Christ, the elect of God.”	35 ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܡܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܘܡܡܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܐܦ ܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܚܝ ܢܚܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܐܢ ܗܘܝܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܓܒܝܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
36 And the soldiers also ridiculed him, approaching him and offering him vinegar,	36 ܘܡܒܙܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܐܦ ܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܟܕ ܩܪܒܝܢ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܡܩܪܒܝܢ ܠܗ ܚܠܐ ܀
37 and saying, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.”	37 ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܚܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܀
38 Now there was also an inscription written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.	38 ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܠܥܠ ܡܢܗ ܝܘܢܐܝܬ ܘܪܗܘܡܐܝܬ ܘܥܒܪܐܝܬ ܗܢܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀
39 And one of those robbers who were hanging blasphemed him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us.”	39 ܚܕ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܥܒܕܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܨܠܝܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܡܓܕܦ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܦܨܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܘܦܨܐ ܐܦ ܠܢ ܀
40 But the other responded by rebuking him, saying: “Do you have no fear of God, since you are under the same condemnation?	40 ܘܟܐܐ ܒܗ ܚܒܪܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܚܠ ܐܢܬ ܕܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܒܗ ܐܢܬ ܒܕܝܢܐ ܀
41 And indeed, it is just for us. For we are receiving what our deeds deserve. But truly, this one has done nothing wrong.”	41 ܘܚܢܢ ܟܐܢܐܝܬ ܐܝܟ ܕܫܘܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܘܐܝܟ ܕܥܒܕܢ ܐܬܦܪܥܢ ܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܤܢܐ ܠܐ ܥܒܝܕ ܠܗ ܀
42 And he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”	42 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܕܟܪܝܢܝ ܡܪܝ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܢܬ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܟ ܀
43 And Jesus said to him, “Amen I say to you, this day you shall be with me in Paradise.”	43 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܝܘܡܢܐ ܥܡܝ ܬܗܘܐ ܒܦܪܕܝܤܐ ܀
44 Now it was nearly the sixth hour, and a darkness occurred over the entire earth, until the ninth hour.	44 ܐܝܬ ܗܘܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܫܥܐ ܫܬ ܘܗܘܐ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܬܫܥ ܫܥܝܢ ܀
45 And the sun was obscured. And the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.	45 ܘܫܡܫܐ ܚܫܟ ܘܐܨܛܪܝ ܐܦܝ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܗܝܟܠܐ ܡܢ ܡܨܥܬܗ ܀
46 And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said: “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” And upon saying this, he expired.	46 ܘܩܥܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܒܝ ܒܐܝܕܝܟ ܤܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܪܘܚܝ ܗܕܐ ܐܡܪ ܘܫܠܡ ܀
47 Now, the centurion, seeing what had happened, glorified God, saying, “Truly, this man was the Just One.”	47 ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ ܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܗܘܐ ܫܒܚ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܗܘܐ ܀
48 And the entire crowd of those who came together to see this spectacle also saw what had happened, and they returned, striking their breasts.	48 ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܟܢܝܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܚܙܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܗܘܐ ܗܦܟܘ ܟܕ ܛܪܦܝܢ ܥܠ ܚܕܝܗܘܢ ܀
49 Now all those who knew him, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, were standing at a distance, watching these things.	49 ܘܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܕܘܥܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܝ ܗܘܝ ܥܡܗ ܡܢ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܚܙܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܀
50 And behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a councilman, a good and just man,	50 ܓܒܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܝܘܤܦ ܒܘܠܘܛܐ ܡܢ ܪܡܬܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܛܒܐ ܘܙܕܝܩܐ ܀
51 (for he had not consented to their decision or their actions). He was from Arimathea, a city of Judea. And he was himself also anticipating the kingdom of God.	51 ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܫܠܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܨܒܝܢܗܘܢ ܘܠܤܘܥܪܢܗܘܢ ܘܡܤܟܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
52 This man approached Pilate and petitioned for the body of Jesus.	52 ܗܢܐ ܩܪܒ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܘܫܐܠ ܦܓܪܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܀
53 And taking him down, he wrapped him in a fine linen cloth, and he placed him in a tomb hewn from rock, in which no one had ever been placed.	53 ܘܐܚܬܗ ܘܟܪܟܗ ܒܚܝܨܐ ܕܟܬܢܐ ܘܤܡܗ ܒܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܢܩܝܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܐܬܬܤܝܡ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܀
54 And it was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.	54 ܘܝܘܡܐ ܥܪܘܒܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܫܒܬܐ ܢܓܗܐ ܗܘܬ ܀
55 Now the women who had come with him from Galilee, by following, saw the tomb and the manner in which his body was placed.	55 ܩܪܝܒܢ ܗܘܝ ܕܝܢ ܢܫܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܝ ܥܡܗ ܡܢ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܚܙܝܝܗܝ ܠܩܒܪܐ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܬܬܤܝܡ ܦܓܪܗ ܀
56 And upon returning, they prepared aromatic spices and ointments. But on the Sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the commandment.	56 ܘܗܦܟ ܛܝܒ ܗܪܘܡܐ ܘܒܤܡܐ ܘܒܫܒܬܐ ܫܠܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܦܩܝܕ ܀
