Luke 23:1 And the whole multitude of them arose and led him unto Pilate.

Luke 23:2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation.(those run by their egos hate change).and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a King. 

Luke 23:3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Are you the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, You said it.

Luke 23:4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

Luke 23:5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirs up the people.(he's an insurrectionist, even a terrorist), teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.

Like today with the covid con and all the other injustices perpetrated by the satanists.

Luke 23:6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.

Luke 23:7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

Luke 23:8 And when Herod saw Emmanuel, he was exceeding glad, for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him.(John 21:25).and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

Luke 23:9,10 Then he questioned with him in many words, but he answered him nothing. And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

Luke 23:11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought and mocked him and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe and sent him again to.Pilate.(Roman governor of Judea who ordered Christ's crucifixion).

Luke 23:12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together, for before they were at enmity between themselves.

Luke 23:13-21 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, Said unto them, You have brought this man unto me as one that perverts the people and behold, I, having examined him before you have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof you accuse him. No, nor yet Herod, for I sent you to him and, lo, nothing worthy of death should be done unto him. I will therefore chastise him and release him. For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.(it was a Jewish custom that the Romans allowed that a criminal be showed mercy at this time of year). And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man and release unto us Barabbas, who for a certain sedition made in the city and for murder, was cast into prison. Pilate therefore, willing to release Emmanuel, spake again to them. But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

Low consciousness people act without knowing facts and in this way they are unsane. Same as people today who make the mistake of acting without checking (Acts 17:11) and they do this by accepting opinions of others and they accept opinions of others because it's easier to trust another than to check things out yourself; example, those who willingly allowed themselves to be jabbed with a bioweapon, some of which were designed to kill them either slowly over a few years or much more quickly.

Luke 23:22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil has he done? I have found no cause of death in him. I will therefore chastise him and let him go.

We can't make it look like it was a mistake on our part so we'll cover our asses by making it look as if there was some wrong in him.

Luke 23:23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. 

Luke 23:24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

Luke 23:25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired, but he delivered Emmanuel to their will.

Luke 23:26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Emmanuel.

Luke 23:27,28 And there followed him a great company of people and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. But Emmanuel turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

Luke 23:29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bare and the paps which never gave suck..(Matthew 24:19,20; Luke 21;23)

Luke 23:30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us and to the hills, Cover us.

Luke 23:31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

If this is how they are when times are relatively good for them, what will they be like when times are not good?

Luke 23:32 And there were also two other malefactors led with him to be put to death.

Luke 23:33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left.

Comprised with.Bible Dictionaries:.The name 'Calvary' represents in Greek letters the Aramaic word 'Gulgaltha', English 'Golgotha', meaning 'the place of a skull'. It probably took this name from its shape, being a small hill or low, rounded, bare elevation somewhat in the form of a human skull, but the most probable opinion however, is that it was a place of execution and that the bones remained unburied or unburned. Such worthy of death punishments were not allowed within the walls of the city. The crucifixion of our Lord took place outside the city walls (Hebrews 13:11-13) and near the public thoroughfare. Acts 26:23-26."...this thing was not done in a corner."

Luke 23:34 Then said Emmanuel, Father forgive.(original for word 'forgive' here is 'leave them be', at this time:.Proverbs 30:29-33).them for they know not what they do.(the rank and file population don't know the consciousness they have and often wonder just why are they the way they are and who may be the wicked and why things get worse in the world out there). And they parted his raiment and cast lots.(lots).

But, before you let them be,.Barnes Notes: The thing for which we should pray for them is that God would pardon them and give them better minds.

Luke 23:35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others, let him save himself if he be Christ, the chosen of God.

Luke 23:36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar.

How cruel the ordinary consciousness can be. They made fun of him.

Luke 23:37 And saying, If you really are the king of the line of Judah.(Luke 23:23-26), save yourself.

Luke 23:38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek and Latin and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING EXPECTED FROM THE LINE OF JUDAH.

JFB Commentary: Christ on the cross, is gracious like Christ on the throne. Although he was in the greatest struggle and agony.(?), yet he had pity for a poor penitent. By this act of grace we see that Emmanuel Christ died to open the new way of the kingdom of heaven to all penitent believers. It is a single example in Scripture. It should teach us to despair of no one and that no one should despair of himself, but lest it should be abused, it is contrasted with the awful state of the other thief, who died hardened in unbelief, though a crucified Savior was so near to him. In general men die as they live.

Luke 23:39 And one of the malefactors which were to be hanged, railed on him, saying, If you be Christ, save yourself and us.

Luke 23:40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Do not you fear God, seeing you are in the same condemnation?

Luke 23:41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds. But this man has done nothing amiss.

Luke 23:42 And he said unto Emmanuel, Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.

Luke 23:43 And Emmanuel said unto him, Verily I say unto you, today you.(those criminals mentioned in verses 39-42 above, who were crucified with Emmanuel).shall be with me in paradise.(?).

Verse means 'today, that is, this day on the cross, Emmanuel was speaking to him' that he was forgiven and is part of the family in what's called heaven. Doesn't say that this individual would be there this day, simply that he would be there. See how easy it is, once the mind is changed, life changes for him or her.

Why did the one criminal remain in heart as he was in living and the other changed? Was one of the mankind gene and the other of the humanity gene? 

Word 'paradise' shows where we go if we die, a place of only good, an abode of happy spirits passed and gone back into the intelligent energy we normally call God.

Barnes Notes: 'Paradise' is a word of Persian origin and means 'a garden', particularly a garden of pleasure, filled with trees and shrubs and fountains and flowers. In hot climates such gardens were pleasant. The word came thus to mean any place of happiness and was used to denote the abodes of the good people having passed on to the next step. The Romans spoke of such an existence as Elysium and the Greeks of the gardens of Hesperides. The garden of Eden means also, the garden of 'pleasure':.2Corinthians 12:4.

We learn from this passage of scripture that:
1st. The soul will exist separately from the body, for while the thief and the Savior would both be in Paradise, their bodies would be on the cross or in the grave. 

2nd. That immediately after death, the souls of the righteous will be made happy. They will feel that they are secure. They will be received among the just and they will have the assurance of a glorious future in eternal life.

Paul, who became a disciple much later, came to feel the same about the afterlife:.Philippians 1:23.

Luke 23:44,45 And it was about the sixth hour and there was a darkness over all the Earth until the ninth hour. And the sun was darkened and the veil of the temple was rent.(torn).in the midst.

Luke 23:46 And when Emmanuel had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into your hands I commend my spirit. And having said thus, he gave.(original 'breathed out'; one last breath).up the ghost.(*). 

Luke 23:47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

Luke 23:48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts and returned. 

Luke 23:49 And all his acquaintance and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

Luke 23:50-52 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor and he was a good man and a just man. The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them. He was of Arimathaea a city of the Jews. He also himself waited for the kingdom of God. This man went unto Pilate and begged the body of Emmanuel.

Luke 23:53 And he took it down and wrapped it in linen and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

Luke 23:54 And that day was the preparation.(Matthew 27:61,62).and the sabbath drew on.

Luke 23:55 And the women also which came with him from Galilee, followed after and beheld the sepulchre and how his body was laid.

Luke 23:56 And they returned and prepared spices and ointments and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
