St. Luke 23 reports the judgment, condemnation and crucifixion of Jesus. In addition, the chapter also presents some people involved in the crucifixion, such as Pilate and the Crucified Criminals with Jesus. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in São Luke 23:
Isaiah 53:5: "But he was wounded by our transgressions and ground for our iniquities; the punishment that brings us peace was upon Him, and by his footsteps we were healed." This prophetic verse of Isaiah relates to the crucifixion of Jesus, in which He was wounded and killed by the sins of humanity.
John 19:11: "Jesus answered, 'You would not have any authority over me if you were not given from you from you; so who gave me a bigger sin to you.' Jesus claims that Pilate would have no authority over him if it was not allowed by God, and that the true guilt falls on those who delivered Him.
Mark 15:34: "And in the ninth hour, Jesus shouted in a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, Lemá Sabactani, which means: God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" This verse presents the last words of Jesus on the cross when He felt God's abandonment in His death.
Mark 15:38: "And the veil of the sanctuary was torn in two parts, from top to bottom." This verse describes a supernatural event that occurred after the death of Jesus, when the temple veil was torn, indicating that now everyone has direct access to God.
Mark 15:46: "And having bought a linen cloth and taking him off the cross, he wrapped him in him and placed him in a sepulcher drawn into the rock; and revolved a stone to the door of the tomb." This verse narrates the burial of Jesus, which is a crucial moment in the history of salvation, as it marks the beginning of resurrection and victory over death.
