23:26 Yeshua is hung on a pole

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

26 As 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 stake and follow along behind Yeshua.

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

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

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

35 [ref]The 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.”

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

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

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

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

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

23:30: Hos 10:8; Rev 6:16.

23:34: Psa 22:18.

23:35: Psa 22:7-8.

26 And as they _led _away him, having _taken _hold _of Simōn, a_certain from _Kuraʸnaʸ coming from the_country, they _put_ the stake _on to _him, to _be _carrying behind the Yaʸsous.
27 And a_great multitude of _the people was _following with _him, and of _women who were _mourning and were _lamenting him.
28 But Yaʸsous having _been _turned to them, said:
Daughters of _Hierousalaʸm/(Yərūshālayim), be_ not _weeping for me, however be _weeping for yourselves, and for the children of _you _all.
29 Because see, days are _coming in which they _will _be _saying:
Blessed are the barren, and wombs that not bore, and breasts that not nursed.
30 Then they _will _be _beginning to _be _saying to _the mountains:
Fall on us, and to _the hills:
Cover us.
31 Because if they _are _doing these things in the green tree, what may _become in the dry?
32 And two other criminals were_ also _being _led with him to _be _killed.
33 And when they _came to the place which being _called the_skull, there they _executed _on _a _stake him and the criminals, one on _one _hand on the_right, one on _the _other _hand on the_left.
34 But dividing the clothes of _him, they _throw a_lot.
35 And the people observing had _stood.
and the rulers they _were _sneering _at him also saying, he _saved others, let _him _save himself, if this is the chosen _one /messiah, the son of_ the _god, the chosen one.
36 And the soldiers they _mocked at _him also approaching, offering wine _vinegar to _him, 37 and saying:
If you are the king of _the Youdaiōns, save yourself.
38 And was also an_inscription over him:
The king of _the Youdaiōns this is.
39 And one of _the criminals having _been _hanged was _slandering him saying:
Are you not the chosen _one /messiah?
Save yourself and us.
40 But the other one answering giving _rebuke to _him was _saying:
Not _even are_ you _fearing the god, that you _are in the same judgment?
41 And we on _one _hand justly, because/for we _are _taking _back worthy things of _what we _did, on _the _other _hand this one did not _one amiss.
42 And he _was _saying:
Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa), Be _reminded of _me, whenever you _may _come in the kingdom of _you.
43 And he _said to _him:
Truly, I _am _saying to _you, today you _will _be with me in the paradise.

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.
