Luke 23

33. Having come to the place which is called Calvary,  there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one at his right hand, and the other at his left.

34. And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And, parting his garments, they cast lots.

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.

36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.


40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?


41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.


42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.


43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.


44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.


45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.


46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.


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


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


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


50 And, behold, [there was] a man named Joseph, a counsellor; [and he was] a good man, and a just:


51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) [he was] of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.


52 This [man] went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.


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


54 And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drew on.


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


56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment.



 

Down the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day
The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street
But the crowd pressed in to see
The Man condemned to die on Calvary

He was bleeding from a beating, there were stripes upon His back
And He wore a crown of thorns upon His head
And He bore with every step
The scorn of those who cried out for His death

Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King,
But He chose to walk that road out of
His love for you and me.
Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary.

Por la Via Dolorosa, triste dia en Jerusalem
Los saldados le abrian paso a Jesus
Mas la gente se acercaba
Para ver al que llevaba aquella cruz

Por la Via Dolorosa, que es la via del dolor
Como oveja vino Cristo, Rey, Senor
Y fue El quien quiso ir por su amor por ti y por mi
Por la Via Dolorosa al Calvario y a morir

The blood that would cleanse the souls of all men
Made its way to the heart of  Jerusalem.

Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King
But He chose to walk that road out of His love for you and me
Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary.
