耶稣被押交彼拉多(A)

23 众人都起来,把耶稣押到彼拉多那里, 控告他说:“我们查出这个人煽惑我们的同胞,阻止纳税给凯撒,并且自称是基督,是王。” 彼拉多问他:“你是犹太人的王吗?”耶稣回答:“你已经说了(“你已经说了”或译:“这是你说的”)。” 彼拉多对祭司长和众人说:“我在这人身上,查不出有甚么罪。” 但他们极力说:“他在犹太全地教导人,煽动群众,从加利利直到这里。”

希律王藐视耶稣

彼拉多听见了,就问耶稣是不是加利利人。 既然知道他是属于希律管辖的,就把他送回希律那里;那时希律正在耶路撒冷。 希律看见耶稣,非常欢喜,因为他曾经听过耶稣的事,早就想要见他,希望看他行个神迹。 于是他问了耶稣许多话,但耶稣甚么也不回答。 10 祭司长和经学家站着,猛烈地控告他。 11 希律和他的侍卫就藐视耶稣,戏弄他,给他穿上华丽的衣服,把他送回彼拉多那里。 12 希律和彼拉多从前原是彼此为仇,在那一天就成了朋友。

彼拉多判耶稣钉十字架(B)

13 彼拉多召集了祭司长、官长和民众, 14 对他们说:“你们把这人押到我这里来,说他煽惑群众,我已经在你们面前审讯过,在他身上一点也找不到你们控告他的罪状, 15 连希律也找不到,又把他送回我这里,可见他没有作过该死的事。 16 我要责打他,然后把他释放。”(有些抄本有第17节:“每逢节期,他必须照例给他们释放一个囚犯。”也有些抄本把这句放在第19节后) 18 众人齐声喊叫:“除掉这个人,给我们释放巴拉巴!” 19 这巴拉巴是因为在城里作乱杀人而入狱的。 20 彼拉多再向他们说明,愿意释放耶稣。 21 然而他们高声呼叫:“把他钉十字架,把他钉十字架!” 22 彼拉多第三次对他们说:“这人作过甚么恶事呢?我在他身上找不出甚么该死的罪。所以我要责打他,然后把他释放。” 23 但他们大声吵闹,要他把耶稣钉十字架,他们的声音就得了胜。 24 彼拉多就宣判,照他们的要求, 25 把他们所求那作乱杀人入狱的释放了,却把耶稣交出来,随他们的意思处理。

耶稣被钉十字架(C)

26 他们把耶稣带走的时候,抓住了一个从乡下来的古利奈人西门,把十字架放在他身上,叫他背着跟在耶稣后面。 27 一大群人跟随他,有些妇女为他捶胸痛哭。 28 耶稣转过身来对她们说:“耶路撒冷的女儿啊,不要为我哭,却要为你们自己和你们的儿女哭。 29 日子将到,人必说:‘不生育的和没有怀过胎的,也没有哺养过婴儿的有福了。’

30 那时人要对大山说:

‘倒在我们身上!’

对小山说:

‘遮盖我们!’

31 他们在青绿的树上,既然这样作;在枯干的树上,又会怎样呢?”

32 他们另外带来两个犯人,和耶稣一同处死, 33 到了那名叫“髑髅”的地方,就把耶稣钉在十字架上,也钉了那两个犯人,一左一右。 34 耶稣说:“父啊,赦免他们!因为他们不知道自己所作的是甚么。”士兵抽签,分了他的衣服。 35 群众站着观看,官长们嗤笑说:“他救了别人,如果他是基督,是 神所拣选的,让他救自己吧!” 36 士兵也上前戏弄他,拿酸酒给他喝, 37 说:“如果你是犹太人的王,救你自己吧!” 38 在耶稣的头以上有一个牌子写着:“这是犹太人的王。”

39 悬挂着的犯人中,有一个侮辱他说:“你不是基督吗?救你自己和我们吧!” 40 另一个就应声责备他说:“你是同样受刑的,还不惧怕 神吗? 41 我们是罪有应得的。我们所受的与所作的相称,然而这个人并没有作过甚么不对的事。” 42 他又对耶稣说:“耶稣啊,你得国降临的时候,求你记念我。” 43 耶稣对他说:“我实在告诉你,今天你必定同我在乐园里了。”

耶稣死时的情形(D)

44 从大约正午直到下午三点钟,遍地都黑暗了。 45 太阳没有光,圣所的幔子从当中裂开。 46 耶稣大声呼叫:“父啊,我把我的灵魂交在你手里。”说了这话,气就断了。 47 百夫长看见所发生的事,就颂赞 神,说:“这真是个义人!” 48 聚集观看的群众,看见所发生的事,都捶着胸回去了。 49 与耶稣熟悉的人,和从加利利跟随他来的妇女,都远远地站着,看这些事。

耶稣葬在坟墓里(E)

50 有一个人名叫约瑟,是个议员,为人良善公义, 51 是犹太地亚利马太城的人,一向等候 神的国,并不附和众人的计谋和行为。 52 这人去见彼拉多,求领耶稣的身体。 53 他把身体取下来,用细麻布裹好,放在从石头凿出来的坟墓里,这坟墓是从来没有葬过人的。 54 那天是预备日,安息日就要开始, 55 那些从加利利和耶稣一起来的妇女,跟着来了。她们看见了坟墓,和他的身体怎样安葬, 56 就回去预备香料和香膏。

安息日,她们遵着诫命安息。

Jesus Stands in Front of Pilate (A)

23 Then all the many people got up and took Jesus to Pilate. They began to tell things against Him, saying, “We have found this Man leading the people of our nation in a wrong way. He has been telling them not to pay taxes to Caesar. He has been saying He is Christ, a King.”

Pilate asked Jesus, “Are You the King of the Jews?” He said, “What you said is true.” Then Pilate said to the religious leaders and to the people, “I find nothing wrong in this Man.” They became more angry. They said, “He makes trouble among the people. He has been teaching over all the country of Judea, starting in Galilee and now here.”

Jesus Is Sent to Herod

When Pilate heard the word, Galilee, he asked, “Is the Man from Galilee?” As soon as Pilate knew Jesus belonged in the country where Herod was king, he sent Him to Herod. Herod was in Jerusalem at that time also.

Herod was very glad when he saw Jesus because he had wanted to see Him for a long time. He had heard many things about Him and had hoped to see Him do some powerful work. Herod talked to Jesus and asked many things. But Jesus said nothing. 10 The religious leaders and the teachers of the Law were standing there. They said many false things against Him.

11 Then Herod and his soldiers were very bad to Jesus and made fun of Him. They put a beautiful coat on Him and sent Him back to Pilate. 12 That day Pilate and Herod became friends. Before that they had worked against each other.

13 Pilate called the religious leaders and the leaders of the people and the people together. 14 He said to them, “You brought this Man to me as one that leads the people in the wrong way. I have asked Him about these things in front of you. I do not find Him guilty of the things you say against Him. 15 Herod found nothing wrong with Him because he sent Him back to us. There is no reason to have Him put to death. 16 I will punish Him and let Him go free.”

Jesus or Barabbas Is to Go Free (B)

17 *Every year at the time of the special supper, Pilate would let one person who was in prison go free. 18 They all cried out together with a loud voice, “Take this Man away! Let Barabbas go free.” 19 Barabbas had killed some people and had made trouble against the leaders of the country. He had been put in prison.

20 Pilate wanted to let Jesus go free so he talked to them again. 21 But they cried out, “Nail Him to a cross! Nail Him to a cross!” 22 Pilate said to them the third time, “Why, what bad thing has He done? I have found no reason to put Him to death. I will punish Him and let Him go free.”

23 But they kept on crying out with loud voices saying that He must be nailed to a cross. Their loud voices got what they wanted. 24 Then Pilate said that it should be done as they wanted. 25 Pilate let the man go free who had made trouble against the leaders of the country and who had killed people. He gave Jesus over to them to do with as they wanted.

Jesus on the Cross (C)

26 They led Jesus away. A man named Simon was coming in from the country of Cyrene and they made him carry the cross following behind Jesus.

27 Many people followed Jesus. There were women who cried and had sorrow for Him. 28 Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem do not cry for Me. Cry for yourselves and your children. 29 Listen! The days are coming when they will say, ‘Those who have never had children are happy. Those whose bodies have never given birth are happy. Those who have never fed babies are happy.’ 30 They will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us.’ They will say to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ 31 If they do these things to a green tree, what will they do when it is dry?”

32 Two other men were led away with Jesus to be put to death also. These men had done things making them guilty of death. 33 When they came to the place called Calvary, they nailed Jesus to a cross. The other two men were nailed to crosses also. One was on the right side of Jesus and the other was on His left side. 34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them. They do not know what they are doing.” And they divided His clothes by drawing names.

35 The people stood around looking on. The leaders were there with them making fun of Jesus. They said, “He saved others, let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the Chosen One of God!” 36 The soldiers made fun of Him also. They put sour wine before Him. 37 They said, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.” 38 These words were written in the Greek and Latin and Hebrew languages above His head: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

The Two Robbers (D)

39 One of the men who was guilty of death who was on a cross beside Jesus spoke bad words to Him. He said, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.” 40 But the other man on a cross spoke sharp words to the one who made fun of Jesus. He said, “Are you not afraid of God? You are also guilty and will be punished. 41 We are suffering and we should, because of the wrong we have done. But this Man has done nothing wrong.” 42 And he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your holy nation.” 43 Jesus said to him, “For sure, I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

The Death of Jesus (E)

44 It was dark over all the earth from noon until three o’clock. 45 The sun did not shine. In the house of God the curtain was torn in two pieces.

46 Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I give My spirit.” When He said this, He died.

47 When the soldier saw what had happened, he thanked God. He said, “For sure, He was a good man.” 48 All the many people who came together to see the things that were done, went away beating themselves on their chests. 49 All His friends and the women who had come with Him from Galilee stood a long way off watching these things.

The Grave of Jesus (F)

50 There was a man named Joseph who belonged to the court. He was a good man and one who did right. 51 This man did not agree with what the court did. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews. He was looking for the holy nation of God to come. 52 Joseph went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

53 Then he took it down and put it in linen cloth. It was laid in a grave which had been cut out in the side of a rock. This grave had never been used.

54 It was time to get ready for the Day of Rest which was about to begin. 55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed behind. They saw the grave and how His body was laid. 56 They went back and got some spices and perfumes ready. But they rested on the Day of Rest as the Law said to do.
