19 那时,彼拉多吩咐人把耶稣拉去鞭打。 士兵用荆棘编成冠冕,戴在他的头上,又给他披上紫色的外袍, 然后来到他面前,说:“犹太人的王万岁!”并且用手掌打他。 彼拉多再次出到外面,对犹太人说:“看!我把他带出来给你们,让你们知道我查不出他有甚么罪。” 于是耶稣出来,戴着荆棘的冠冕,披着紫色的外袍。彼拉多对他们说:“看,这个人!” 祭司长和差役看见耶稣,就喊叫说:“把他钉十字架!把他钉十字架!”彼拉多对他们说:“你们自己把他带去钉十字架吧!我查不出他有甚么罪。” 犹太人回答:“我们有律法,根据那律法,他是该死的,因为他自命为 神的儿子。”

彼拉多听见这话,就更加害怕, 又进了官邸,问耶稣:“你究竟是从哪里来的?”耶稣却不回答他。 10 彼拉多对他说:“你不对我说话吗?你不知道我有权释放你,也有权把你钉十字架吗?” 11 耶稣说:“如果不是从天上给你权柄,你就无权办我;因此,把我交给你的那人,罪更重了。” 12 从那时起,彼拉多想释放耶稣;可是犹太人却喊叫说:“如果你释放这个人,就不是凯撒的忠臣了。凡是自命为王的,就是与凯撒为敌。”

13 彼拉多听了这些话,就把耶稣带到外面,到了一个名叫“铺石地”(希伯来话叫加巴大)的地方,就在那里开庭审问。 14 那天是逾越节的预备日,约在正午的时候。彼拉多对犹太人说:“看,你们的王!” 15 他们就喊叫起来:“除掉他!除掉他!把他钉十字架!”彼拉多问他们:“我可以把你们的王钉十字架吗?”祭司长回答:“除了凯撒,我们没有王!” 16 于是彼拉多把耶稣交给他们去钉十字架。

耶稣被钉十字架(A)

17 他们把耶稣带去了。耶稣自己背着十字架出来,到了一个名叫“髑髅”的地方,希伯来话叫各各他。 18 他们就在那里把耶稣钉在十字架上;和他一同钉十字架的,还有两个人,一边一个,耶稣在中间。 19 彼拉多写了一个牌子,放在十字架上头,写的是:“犹太人的王拿撒勒人耶稣。” 20 有许多犹太人念了这牌子上所写的,因为耶稣钉十字架的地方离城不远,而且那牌子是用希伯来文、拉丁文和希腊文写的。 21 犹太人的祭司长对彼拉多说:“不要写‘犹太人的王’,要写‘这个人自称:我是犹太人的王’。” 22 彼拉多说:“我所写的,我已经写了!”

23 士兵把耶稣钉了十字架之后,就把他的衣服拿来,分成四分,每个兵一分。他们又拿他的内衣;这内衣是没有缝的,是从上到下整件织成的。 24 因此,他们彼此说:“我们不要把它撕开,我们来抽签吧,看看是谁的。”这就应验了经上所说的:

“他们分了我的外衣,

又为我的内衣抽签。”

士兵果然这样作了。 25 站在耶稣十字架旁边的,有他母亲和他母亲的姊妹,还有高罗巴的妻子马利亚,和抹大拉的马利亚。 26 耶稣看见母亲,又看见他所爱的那门徒站在旁边,就对母亲说:“母亲(“母亲”原文作“妇人”),看!你的儿子。” 27 然后他对那门徒说:“看!你的母亲。”从那时起,那门徒就把她接到自己的家里去了。

耶稣死时的情形(B)

28 这事以后,耶稣知道一切都已经成就了,为了要使经上的话应验,就说:“我渴了。” 29 在那里有一个坛子,盛满了酸酒,他们就拿海绵浸了酸酒,绑在牛膝草上,送到他的口里。 30 耶稣尝了那酸酒,说:“成了!”就低下头,断了气。

31 因为那天是预备日,为了要避免尸体在安息日留在十字架上(因为那安息日是个重要的日子),犹太人就请求彼拉多打断那些被钉十字架的人的腿,把他们拿下来。 32 于是士兵来了,把和耶稣一同钉十字架的那两个人的腿都先后打断了。 33 他们来到耶稣那里,看见他已经死了,就没有打断他的腿。 34 但是有一个士兵用枪刺他的肋旁,立刻有血和水流出来。 35 那看见这事的人已经作证了,他的见证是真实的,他也知道自己所说的是实在的,使你们也相信。 36 这些事的发生,是要应验经上所说的:“他的骨头,一根也不可折断。” 37 另有一处经文说:“他们要仰望自己所刺的人。”

耶稣葬在新坟墓里(C)

38 这些事以后,有一个亚利马太人约瑟来求彼拉多,要领耶稣的身体;他因为怕犹太人,就暗暗地作耶稣的门徒。彼拉多批准了,他便把耶稣的身体领去。 39 从前夜间来见耶稣的尼哥德慕也来了,带着没药和沉香混合的香料,约有三十二公斤。 40 他们领取了耶稣的身体,照着犹太人的葬礼的规例,用细麻布和香料把他裹好。 41 在耶稣钉十字架的地方,有一个园子,园里有一个新的墓穴,是从来没有葬过人的。 42 因为那天是犹太人的预备日,又因为那墓穴就在附近,他们就把耶稣葬在那里。

19 Then Pilate laid open Jesus’ back with a leaded whip, and the soldiers made a crown of thorns and placed it on his head and robed him in royal purple. “Hail, ‘King of the Jews’!” they mocked, and struck him with their fists.

Pilate went outside again and said to the Jews, “I am going to bring him out to you now, but understand clearly that I find him not guilty.”

Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said, “Behold the man!”

At sight of him the chief priests and Jewish officials began yelling, “Crucify! Crucify!”

“You crucify him,” Pilate said. “I find him not guilty.”

They replied, “By our laws he ought to die because he called himself the Son of God.”

When Pilate heard this, he was more frightened than ever. He took Jesus back into the palace again and asked him, “Where are you from?” but Jesus gave no answer.

10 “You won’t talk to me?” Pilate demanded. “Don’t you realize that I have the power to release you or to crucify you?”

11 Then Jesus said, “You would have no power at all over me unless it were given to you from above. So those[a] who brought me to you have the greater sin.”

12 Then Pilate tried to release him, but the Jewish leaders told him, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar’s. Anyone who declares himself a king is a rebel against Caesar.”

13 At these words Pilate brought Jesus out to them again and sat down at the judgment bench on the stone-paved platform.[b] 14 It was now about noon of the day before Passover.

And Pilate said to the Jews, “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 chief priests shouted back.

16 Then Pilate gave Jesus to them to be crucified.

17 So they had him at last, and he was taken out of the city, carrying his cross to the place known as “The Skull,” in Hebrew, “Golgotha.” 18 There they crucified him and two others with him, one on either side, with Jesus between them. 19 And Pilate posted a sign over him reading, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” 20 The place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and the signboard was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, so that many people read it.

21 Then the chief priests said to Pilate, “Change it from ‘The King of the Jews’ to ‘He said, I am King of the Jews.’”

22 Pilate replied, “What I have written, I have written. It stays exactly as it is.”

23-24 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they put his garments into four piles, one for each of them. But they said, “Let’s not tear up his robe,” for it was seamless. “Let’s throw dice to see who gets it.” This fulfilled the Scripture that says,

“They divided my clothes among them and cast lots for my robe.”[c]

25 So that is what they did.

Standing near the cross were Jesus’ mother, Mary, his aunt, the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother standing there beside me, his close friend,[d] he said to her, “He is your son.”

27 And to me[e] he said, “She is your mother!” And from then on I took her into my home.

28 Jesus knew that everything was now finished, and to fulfill the Scriptures said, “I’m thirsty.” 29 A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so a sponge was soaked in it and put on a hyssop branch and held up to his lips.

30 When Jesus had tasted[f] it, he said, “It is finished,” and bowed his head and dismissed his spirit.

31 The Jewish leaders didn’t want the victims hanging there the next day, which was the Sabbath (and a very special Sabbath at that, for it was the Passover), so they asked Pilate to order the legs of the men broken to hasten death; 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 him, they saw that he was dead already, so they didn’t break his. 34 However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and blood and water flowed out. 35 I saw all this myself and have given an accurate report so that you also can believe.[g] 36-37 The soldiers did this in fulfillment of the Scripture that says, “Not one of his bones shall be broken,” and, “They shall look on him whom they pierced.”

38 Afterwards Joseph of Arimathea, who had been a secret disciple of Jesus for fear of the Jewish leaders, boldly asked Pilate for permission to take Jesus’ body down; and Pilate told him to go ahead. So he came and took it away. 39 Nicodemus, the man who had come to Jesus at night,[h] came too, bringing a hundred pounds of embalming ointment made from myrrh and aloes. 40 Together they wrapped Jesus’ body in a long linen cloth saturated with the spices, as is the Jewish custom of burial. 41 The place of crucifixion was near a grove of trees,[i] where there was a new tomb, never used before. 42 And so, because of the need for haste before the Sabbath, and because the tomb was close at hand, they laid him there.

Jesus Flogged and Rejected as King

19 Pilate then took Jesus and [a](A)flogged Him. (B)And when the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and put a purple [b]robe on Him; and they were coming to Him and saying, “(C)Hail, King of the Jews!” and were (D)giving Him slaps in the face. And Pilate (E)came out again and *said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that (F)I find no guilt in Him.” Jesus then came out, (G)wearing the crown of thorns and the purple [c]robe. Pilate *said to them, “Behold, the man!” So when the chief priests and the (H)officers saw Him, they cried out saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate *said to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for (I)I find no guilt in Him.” The Jews answered him, “(J)We have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He (K)made Himself out to be the Son of God.”

Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he became more afraid; and he (L)entered into the [d]Praetorium again and *said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But (M)Jesus gave him no answer. 10 So Pilate *said 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, (N)You would have no authority [e]over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason (O)he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.” 12 As a result of this Pilate kept seeking to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, “(P)If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself to be a king [f]opposes Caesar.”

13 Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and (Q)sat down on the judgment seat at a place called [g]The Stone Pavement, but (R)in [h]Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 Now it was (S)the day of [i]Preparation for the Passover; it was about the [j](T)sixth hour. And he *said to the Jews, “Behold, (U)your King!” 15 So they cried out, “(V)Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him!” Pilate *said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.”

The Crucifixion

16 So he then (W)delivered Him over to them to be crucified.

17 (X)They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, [k](Y)bearing His own cross, to the place called (Z)the Place of a Skull, which is called (AA)in [l]Hebrew, Golgotha. 18 There they crucified Him, and with Him (AB)two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between. 19 And Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, “(AC)JESUS THE NAZARENE, (AD)THE KING OF THE JEWS.” 20 Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written (AE)in [m]Hebrew, Latin, and in Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘(AF)The King of the Jews;’ but that He said, ‘I am (AG)King of the Jews.’” 22 Pilate answered, “(AH)What I have written I have written.”

23 Then (AI)the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made (AJ)four parts, a part to each soldier and also His [n]tunic; now that tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top. 24 So they said to one another, “(AK)Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be;” (AL)this was in order that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “They (AM)divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast [o]lots.” 25 Therefore the soldiers did these things.

(AN)But standing by the cross of Jesus were (AO)His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and (AP)Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus then saw His mother, and (AQ)the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He *said to His mother, (AR)Woman, behold, your son!” 27 Then He *said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour the disciple took her into (AS)his home.

Scripture Fulfilled—It Is Finished

28 After this, Jesus, (AT)knowing that all things had already been finished, (AU)in order [p]to finish the Scripture, *said, (AV)I am thirsty.” 29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so (AW)they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth. 30 Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, (AX)It is finished!” And bowing His head, He (AY)gave up His spirit.

31 Then the Jews, because it was (AZ)the day of Preparation, so that (BA)the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath ([q]for that Sabbath was a (BB)high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was (BC)crucified with Him; 33 but coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately (BD)blood and water came out. 35 And he who has seen has (BE)borne witness, and his witness is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe. 36 For these things came to pass (BF)in order that the Scripture would be fulfilled, “(BG)Not a bone of Him shall be [r]broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, “(BH)They shall look on Him whom they pierced.”

Jesus Is Buried

38 (BI)Now after these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but (BJ)secretly because of his (BK)fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body. 39 (BL)And Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, (BM)bringing a [s]mixture of (BN)myrrh and aloes, weighing about [t]one (BO)hundred litras. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and (BP)bound it in (BQ)linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a (BR)new tomb (BS)in which no one had yet been laid. 42 Therefore because of the Jewish day of (BT)Preparation, since the tomb was (BU)nearby, they laid Jesus there.
