Luke 23:1-5

The Innocent King Condemned, Crucified with Transgressors, and Buried in Hope

Jesus is falsely accused before Pilate, mocked by Herod, declared innocent yet condemned under crowd demand, led to crucifixion, warns Jerusalem’s daughters, is crucified between criminals, forgives enemies, saves the repentant criminal, dies in darkness as the temple curtain tears, is declared righteous by a centurion, and is buried by Joseph while the women witness the tomb.

1Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

2And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.”

3So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.”
