23:26 Yeshua is hung on a pole

(Yhn 19:17-27; Mark 15:21-32; Mat. 27:32-44)

26As the Roman soldiers led Yeshua out of the city, they grabbed a man that was coming in from the countryside. He was Simon from Cyrene, and they forced him to carry the post and follow along behind Yeshua.

27Following along behind them, was a large crowd of people including women who were wailing for Yeshua and chanting sad songs, 28but he turned to them and spoke, “Women of Yerushalem, don’t weep for me. Weep for yourselves and for your children, 29because the time is coming when they’ll say, ‘Blessed are the childless couples and the women who never bore or raised a child.’ 30Then they’ll start begging the mountains to fall on top of them and begging the hills to smother them,[ref] 31because if this is what happens while we’re still a nation, what will happen when the country is gone?

32There were also two other criminals being led along to be executed with Yeshua.

33When they got to the place named ‘The Skull’, they attached Yeshua onto a post[fn] and the same for the two criminals, one on each side of him, 34but when they divided his clothes, the soldiers threw dice to divide them up.[ref]

35The people observing were standing there, and some of the Jewish leaders were there too, sneering at him and saying, “He saved others, so now if he’s God’s son, the chosen messiah, let him save himself.”[ref]

36The soldiers also mocked him, going up and offering cheap wine to him, 37saying, “If you’re the king of the Jews, then save yourself,” 38as an inscription had been placed above him that said, “This is the king of the Jews.”

39One of the criminals that was hanging there insulted him, saying, “Aren’t you the messiah? Save yourself and us too.”

40But the other criminal told him off, saying, “Don’t you even respect God when you too have been sentenced to death? 41At least we deserve our punishment that fits what we’ve done, but in contrast, this man did nothing wrong.” 42Then he said, “Yeshua, remember me when you enter your kingdom.”

43I can assure you,” he replied, “that you’ll be with me in paradise today.


23:33 Luke doesn’t state whether or not the post had a cross-piece (which would then form a cross or a T).

Jesus’ Arrest, Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial

Matthew 26-27; Mark 14-15; Luke 22-23; John 13-19

On the Thursday before he was crucified, Jesus had arranged to share the Passover meal with his disciples in an upper room, traditionally thought to be located in the Essene Quarter of Jerusalem. After they finished the meal, they went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples. There Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ own disciples, betrayed him to soldiers sent from the High Priest, and they took Jesus to the High Priest’s residence. In the morning the leading priests and teachers of the law put Jesus on trial and found him guilty of blasphemy. The council sent Jesus to stand trial for treason before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who resided at the Praetorium while in Jerusalem. The Praetorium was likely located at the former residence of Herod the Great, who had died over 30 years earlier. When Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he sent him to Herod Antipas, who had jurisdiction over Galilee. But when Jesus gave no answer to Herod’s many questions, Herod and his soldiers sent him back to Pilate, who conceded to the people’s demands that Jesus be crucified. Jesus was forced to carry his cross out of the city gate to Golgotha, meaning Skull Hill, referring to what may have been a small unquarried hill in the middle of an old quarry just outside the gate. After Jesus was unable to carry his cross any further, a man named Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry it for him. There at Golgotha they crucified Jesus. After Jesus died, his body was hurriedly taken down before nightfall and placed in a newly cut, rock tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish high council. This tomb was likely located at the perimeter of the old quarry.
