约翰福音 19
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
19 于是彼拉多命人鞭打耶稣。 2 士兵用荆棘编成冠冕戴在祂头上，又拿紫袍给祂穿上， 3 来到祂面前说：“犹太人的王万岁！”然后又用手掌打祂。
4 彼拉多又走到外面对众人说：“我把祂带到你们面前，好让你们知道我查不出祂有什么罪。” 5 于是，耶稣戴着荆棘冠冕、穿着紫色长袍出来。彼拉多对众人说：“你们看这个人！”
6 祭司长和差役一见耶稣，就喊道：“把祂钉在十字架上！把祂钉在十字架上！”
彼拉多说：“你们自己把祂带去钉十字架吧！因为我查不出祂有什么罪。”
7 犹太人回答说：“我们有律法，按照那律法，祂应当被处死，因为祂自称是上帝的儿子。”
8 彼拉多听了这话，更加害怕， 9 连忙将耶稣带回总督府，问祂：“你到底是从哪里来的？”但耶稣没有回答。
10 彼拉多说：“你不回答我吗？难道你不知道我有权释放你，也有权把你钉在十字架上吗？”
11 耶稣回答说：“除非从上面赐下权柄给你，否则你无权处置我。因此，把我交给你的那人罪更大。”
12 从那时起，彼拉多想要释放耶稣，可是犹太人却一直喊叫：“如果你释放这个人，你就不是凯撒的忠臣[a]。凡自以为王的，就是背叛凯撒。”
13 彼拉多听了这话，就带着耶稣来到一个地方，名叫“铺石地”，那地方希伯来话叫厄巴大。彼拉多在那里开庭审判祂。 14 那天正是逾越节的预备日，大约在中午十二时，彼拉多对犹太人说：“看啊！你们的王。”
15 众人喊道：“除掉祂！除掉祂！把祂钉在十字架上！”
彼拉多说：“我可以把你们的王钉在十字架上吗？”
祭司长答道：“除了凯撒，我们没有别的王！”
16 于是，彼拉多将耶稣交给他们去钉十字架，他们就把耶稣带走了。
钉十字架
17 耶稣背着自己的十字架出来，前往髑髅地[b]，那地方希伯来话叫各各他。 18 他们在那里把耶稣钉在十字架上。同时还钉了两个人，一边一个，耶稣在当中。 19 彼拉多写了一个告示，安在十字架上，上面写着“犹太人的王，拿撒勒人耶稣”。 20 因为耶稣被钉十字架的地方离城不远，告示上面的字是用希伯来、罗马、希腊三种文字写的，所以很多犹太人读了上面的字。
21 犹太人的祭司长对彼拉多说：“不要写‘犹太人的王’，应该写‘这人自称是犹太人的王’。”
22 彼拉多说：“我写了就写了。”
23 士兵把耶稣钉在十字架上，又把祂的衣服分成四份，每人一份。剩下的内衣从上到下是一块布，没有缝口。 24 他们就商量说：“不要撕破它，让我们抽签决定给谁吧。”这件事是要应验圣经上的话：“他们分了我的外衣，又为我的内衣抽签。”士兵果然这样做了。
25 耶稣的十字架旁边站着祂母亲、祂母亲的一个姊妹、革罗罢的妻子玛丽亚和抹大拉的玛丽亚。 26 耶稣看见祂的母亲和祂所爱的门徒都站在旁边，就对母亲说：“妇人，看啊，他是你的儿子。” 27 然后对门徒说：“看啊，她是你的母亲。”从那天起，那个门徒就把她接到自己家里去了。
耶稣之死
28 后来，耶稣知道一切的事已经完成，就说：“我渴了。”这是要应验圣经上的话。 29 那里有一个器皿盛满了醋酒。有人用海绵蘸满了醋酒绑在牛膝草上送到祂的嘴里， 30 耶稣尝了那醋酒，然后说：“成了！”就垂下头来，将灵魂交给了上帝。
31 因为那天是预备日，第二天的安息日是个大日子，为了避免在安息日有尸首留在十字架上，犹太人便求彼拉多叫人打断他们的腿，好把他们搬走。 32 于是，士兵上前把与耶稣同钉十字架的两个人的腿都打断了。 33 但是他们来到耶稣那里时，发现祂已经死了，就没有打断祂的腿， 34 只是有一个士兵用矛刺了一下祂的肋旁，顿时有血和水流了出来。 35 看见这事的人为此做见证，他的见证是真实的，他知道自己所说的是事实，好让你们可以相信。 36 这些事的发生是为了应验圣经上的话：“祂的骨头一根也不会折断”； 37 “他们要仰望自己所刺的那位。”
安葬耶稣
38 事后，有一个名叫约瑟的亚利马太人请求彼拉多让他为耶稣收尸。他因为畏惧犹太人，只是暗中做耶稣的门徒。彼拉多批准了，他就把耶稣的遗体领去。 39 曾经夜访耶稣的尼哥德慕也来了，他带来了没药和沉香调成的香料，重约三十四公斤。 40 他们按照犹太人殡葬的习俗，用细麻布加上香料把耶稣的遗体裹好。 41 在耶稣被钉十字架的地方有一个园子，里边有一座新坟墓，从来没有安葬过人。 42 因为那天是犹太人的预备日，这座新坟墓也在附近，他们就把耶稣安放在那里。
John 19
New Living Translation
Jesus Sentenced to Death
19 Then Pilate had Jesus flogged with a lead-tipped whip. 2 The soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him. 3 “Hail! King of the Jews!” they mocked, as they slapped him across the face.
4 Pilate went outside again and said to the people, “I am going to bring him out to you now, but understand clearly that I find him not guilty.” 5 Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said, “Look, here is the man!”
6 When they saw him, the leading priests and Temple guards began shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
“Take him yourselves and crucify him,” Pilate said. “I find him not guilty.”
7 The Jewish leaders replied, “By our law he ought to die because he called himself the Son of God.”
8 When Pilate heard this, he was more frightened than ever. 9 He took Jesus back into the headquarters[a] again and asked him, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave no answer. 10 “Why don’t you talk to me?” Pilate demanded. “Don’t you realize that I have the power to release you or crucify you?”
11 Then Jesus said, “You would have no power over me at all unless it were given to you from above. So the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin.”
12 Then Pilate tried to release him, but the Jewish leaders shouted, “If you release this man, you are no ‘friend of Caesar.’[b] Anyone who declares himself a king is a rebel against Caesar.”
13 When they said this, Pilate brought Jesus out to them again. Then Pilate sat down on the judgment seat on the platform that is called the Stone Pavement (in Hebrew, Gabbatha). 14 It was now about noon on the day of preparation for the Passover. And Pilate said to the people,[c] “Look, here is your king!”
15 “Away with him,” they yelled. “Away with him! Crucify him!”
“What? Crucify your king?” Pilate asked.
“We have no king but Caesar,” the leading priests shouted back.
16 Then Pilate turned Jesus over to them to be crucified.
The Crucifixion
So they took Jesus away. 17 Carrying the cross by himself, he went to the place called Place of the Skull (in Hebrew, Golgotha). 18 There they nailed him to the cross. Two others were crucified with him, one on either side, with Jesus between them. 19 And Pilate posted a sign on the cross that read, “Jesus of Nazareth,[d] the King of the Jews.” 20 The place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, so that many people could read it.
21 Then the leading priests objected and said to Pilate, “Change it from ‘The King of the Jews’ to ‘He said, I am King of the Jews.’”
22 Pilate replied, “No, what I have written, I have written.”
23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided his clothes among the four of them. They also took his robe, but it was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. 24 So they said, “Rather than tearing it apart, let’s throw dice[e] for it.” This fulfilled the Scripture that says, “They divided my garments among themselves and threw dice for my clothing.”[f] So that is what they did.
25 Standing near the cross were Jesus’ mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary (the wife of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother standing there beside the disciple he loved, he said to her, “Dear woman, here is your son.” 27 And he said to this disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from then on this disciple took her into his home.
The Death of Jesus
28 Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, “I am thirsty.”[g] 29 A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips. 30 When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
31 It was the day of preparation, and the Jewish leaders didn’t want the bodies hanging there the next day, which was the Sabbath (and a very special Sabbath, because it was Passover week). So they asked Pilate to hasten their deaths by ordering that their legs be broken. Then their bodies could be taken down. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men crucified with Jesus. 33 But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they didn’t break his legs. 34 One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out. 35 (This report is from an eyewitness giving an accurate account. He speaks the truth so that you also may continue to believe.[h]) 36 These things happened in fulfillment of the Scriptures that say, “Not one of his bones will be broken,”[i] 37 and “They will look on the one they pierced.”[j]
The Burial of Jesus
38 Afterward Joseph of Arimathea, who had been a secret disciple of Jesus (because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate for permission to take down Jesus’ body. When Pilate gave permission, Joseph came and took the body away. 39 With him came Nicodemus, the man who had come to Jesus at night. He brought about seventy-five pounds[k] of perfumed ointment made from myrrh and aloes. 40 Following Jewish burial custom, they wrapped Jesus’ body with the spices in long sheets of linen cloth. 41 The place of crucifixion was near a garden, where there was a new tomb, never used before. 42 And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Jewish Passover[l] and since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.

John 19
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
19 1 So at that time Pilate took Jesus and whipped Him. 2 And the soldiers, having woven a crown out of thorns, put it on His head. And they clothed Him with a purple garment. 3 And they were coming to Him and saying, “Hail[a], King of the Jews!” And they were giving Him slaps.
The Jews Shout, Crucify Him, Because He Made Himself To Be God’s Son!
4 And Pilate again went outside. And he says to them, “Look— I am bringing Him outside to you in order that you may know that I find no charge in Him”. 5 Then Jesus came outside, wearing the crown made-of-thorns and the purple garment. And he says to them, “Behold, the man!” 6 Then when they saw Him, the chief priests and the officers shouted, saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate says to them, “You take Him and crucify Him, for I do not find a charge in Him”. 7 The Jews responded to him, “We have a law. And according to the law He ought to die, because He made Himself to be God’s Son”.
Pilate Asks Jesus, Where Are You From? Jesus Does Not Answer
8 Then when Pilate heard this statement, he became more afraid. 9 And he entered into the Praetorium again. And he says to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus did not give him an answer. 10 So Pilate says to Him, “You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?” 11 Jesus answered him, “You would not have any authority against[b] Me unless it[c] had been given to you from above. For this reason the one having handed Me over to you has a greater sin”.
Pilate Tries To Release Jesus, But The Jewish Leaders Stop Him
12 From this time[d], Pilate was seeking to release Him, but the Jews shouted saying, “If you release this One, you are not a friend of Caesar. Everyone making himself the king is speaking-against Caesar”.
Pilate Hesitates Again, But Condemns Jesus
13 Therefore Pilate, having heard these words, brought Jesus outside, and sat on a judgment-seat in a place being called ‘The Pavement’ (but in Hebrew, ‘Gabbatha’). 14 Now it was Preparation[e] day of the Passover [Feast][f]. The hour was about the sixth[g]. And he says to the Jews, “Look— your King!” 15 Then those ones shouted, “Take Him away, take Him away, crucify Him!” Pilate says to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We do not have a king except Caesar”. 16 So at that time he handed Him over to them[h] in order that He might be crucified.
The King of The Jews Is Crucified
So they took Jesus. 17 And bearing the cross for Himself, He went out to the place being called “The Place of a Skull” (which is called in Hebrew, “Golgotha”), 18 where they crucified Him and two others with Him— on this side and on this side, and Jesus in the middle. 19 And Pilate also wrote a title[i] and put it on the cross. And it had been written, “Jesus the Nazarene, the King of the Jews”. 20 Therefore many of the Jews read this title, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city. And it had been written in Hebrew, Latin, Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews’, but that that One said, ‘I am King of the Jews’”. 22 Pilate responded, “What I have written, I have written”.
The Soldiers Take His Garments, Fulfilling Psalm 22
23 Then the soldiers, when they crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts— a part for each soldier— and the tunic[j]. Now the tunic was seamless, woven from the top through the whole. 24 So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but let us cast-lots for it to decide whose it will be”— in order that the Scripture [in Ps 22:18] might be fulfilled, the one saying, “They divided My garments among themselves, and they cast a lot for My clothing”. So indeed, the soldiers did these things.
John Takes Mary Into His Household
25 Now His mother, and the sister of His mother, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary the Magdalene, were standing beside the cross of Jesus. 26 So Jesus, having seen His mother and the disciple[k] whom He was loving standing near, says to His mother, “Woman, look— your son!” 27 Then He says to the disciple, “Look— your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her into[l] his own things.
Jesus Dies
28 After this, Jesus— knowing that all things have already[m] been finished, in order that the Scripture [in Ps 69:21] might be accomplished— says, “I am thirsty”. 29 A jar full of sour-wine was setting there. So having put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch, they brought it to His mouth. 30 Then when He received the sour wine, Jesus said, “It has been finished!” And having bowed His head, He gave-over[n] His spirit.
Jesus Is Pierced With a Spear, But a Bone Is Not Broken, Fulfilling The Prophecies
31 Then the Jews— because it was Preparation day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross during the Sabbath (for the day of that Sabbath was a great[o] day)— asked Pilate that their legs be broken, and they be taken away. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first one, and of the other one having been crucified-with Him. 33 But having come to Jesus, when they saw Him already dead, they did not break His legs. 34 But one of the soldiers stabbed His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. 35 And the one[p] having seen it has testified, and his testimony is true. And that one[q] knows that he is speaking true things, so that you also may believe. 36 For these things took place in order that the Scripture [in Ex 12:46] might be fulfilled: “A bone of His will not be broken”. 37 And again another Scripture [Zech 12:10] says, “They will look at the One Whom they pierced”.
Joseph Lays Jesus In a Tomb
38 Now after these things Joseph from Arimathea— being a disciple of Jesus, but having been hidden[r] because of the fear of the Jews— asked Pilate in order that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate permitted it. So he came and took away His body. 39 And Nicodemus also came— the one having first come to Him by night— bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds[s]. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen-cloths with the spices, as is the custom for the Jews to prepare-for-burial. 41 Now there was a garden in the place where He was crucified. And in the garden was a new tomb in which no one yet had been laid. 42 So there— because of the Preparation day of the Jews, because the tomb was near— they laid Jesus.
