耶穌在彼拉多面前受審

15 清早,祭司長、長老、律法教師和全公會的人商定後,便把耶穌綁起來押送到彼拉多那裡。

彼拉多問耶穌:「你是猶太人的王嗎?」

耶穌回答說:「如你所言。」

祭司長控告耶穌許多罪。

彼拉多又問道:「你看,他們控告你這麼多,你都不回答嗎?」

耶穌仍舊一言不發,彼拉多感到驚奇。

每年逾越節的時候,彼拉多都會照慣例按猶太人的要求釋放一個囚犯。 那時,有一個囚犯名叫巴拉巴,與其他作亂時殺過人的囚犯關在一起。 百姓聚來,要求彼拉多照慣例釋放囚犯。

彼拉多問:「你們要我為你們釋放猶太人的王嗎?」 10 因為他知道祭司長把耶穌押來是出於妒忌。 11 但祭司長卻煽動百姓,叫他們要求彼拉多釋放巴拉巴。

12 彼拉多只好問:「那麼,這位你們稱之為猶太人之王的,我如何處置呢?」

13 他們喊著說:「把祂釘在十字架上!」

14 彼拉多問:「為什麼?祂犯了什麼罪?」

他們卻更大聲地喊:「把祂釘在十字架上!」

15 為了取悅眾人,彼拉多釋放了巴拉巴,命人將耶穌鞭打後帶出去釘十字架。

耶穌受辱

16 於是,衛兵把耶穌帶進總督府的院子,集合了全營的兵。 17 他們給祂穿上紫袍,用荊棘編成王冠戴在祂頭上, 18 向祂行禮,並喊著說:「猶太人的王萬歲!」 19 他們用葦稈打祂的頭,向祂吐唾沫,跪拜祂。 20 戲弄完了,就脫去祂的紫袍,給祂穿上原來的衣服,押祂出去釘十字架。

釘十字架

21 亞歷山大和魯孚的父親古利奈人西門從鄉下來,途經那地方,衛兵就強迫他背耶穌的十字架。 22 他們把耶穌帶到各各他——意思是「髑髏地」, 23 拿沒藥調和的酒給祂喝,但祂不肯喝。 24 他們把耶穌釘在十字架上,還抽籤分祂的衣服。 25 他們釘祂十字架的時間是在上午九點鐘。 26 祂的罪狀牌上寫著「猶太人的王」。

27 他們還把兩個強盜釘在十字架上,一個在祂右邊,一個在祂左邊, 28 這應驗了聖經的話:「祂被列在罪犯中。」 29 過路的人都嘲笑祂,搖著頭說:「哈,你這要把聖殿拆毀又在三天內重建的人啊, 30 救救你自己,從十字架上下來吧!」

31 祭司長和律法教師也嘲諷說:「祂救了別人,卻救不了自己! 32 以色列的王基督,現在從十字架上下來吧!讓我們看看,我們就信了!」與祂同釘十字架的強盜也對祂出言不遜。

耶穌之死

33 正午時分,黑暗籠罩著整個大地,一直到下午三點。 34 大約在三點,耶穌大聲呼喊:「以羅伊,以羅伊,拉馬撒巴各大尼?」意思是:「我的上帝,我的上帝,你為什麼離棄我?」

35 有些站在旁邊的人聽見了,就說:「聽,祂在呼叫以利亞。」

36 有人跑去把一塊海綿蘸滿酸酒,綁在葦稈上送給祂喝,說:「等等,讓我們看看以利亞會不會救祂下來。」

37 耶穌大叫一聲,就斷了氣。 38 聖殿的幔子從上到下裂成兩半。 39 站在對面的百夫長看見耶穌喊叫[a]斷氣的情形,便說:「這人真是上帝的兒子!」

40 有些婦女在遠處觀看,其中有抹大拉的瑪麗亞、小雅各和約西的母親瑪麗亞並撒羅米。 41 耶穌在加利利時,她們已經跟隨祂、服侍祂了。此外還有好些跟著祂上耶路撒冷的婦女。

安葬耶穌

42 那天是猶太人的預備日,也就是安息日的前一天。傍晚, 43 亞利馬太人約瑟鼓起勇氣去見彼拉多,要求領取耶穌的遺體。他是一位德高望重的公會議員,一位等候上帝國降臨的人。 44 彼拉多聽見耶穌已經死了,十分驚訝,便把百夫長召來問個明白, 45 得知耶穌確實已死,便將耶穌的遺體交給約瑟。

46 約瑟把耶穌的遺體取下來,用買來的細麻布裹好,安放在一個在岩壁上鑿出的墓穴裡,又滾來一塊大石頭堵住洞口。 47 抹大拉的瑪麗亞和約西的母親瑪麗亞都親眼看到了安葬耶穌的地方。

  1. 15·39 有些古卷無「喊叫」二字。

Jesus Before Pilate(A)

15 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law(B) and the whole Sanhedrin,(C) made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.(D)

“Are you the king of the Jews?”(E) asked Pilate.

“You have said so,” Jesus replied.

The chief priests accused him of many things. So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”

But Jesus still made no reply,(F) and Pilate was amazed.

Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested. A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.

“Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”(G) asked Pilate, 10 knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas(H) instead.

12 “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.

13 “Crucify him!” they shouted.

14 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.

But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”

15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged,(I) and handed him over to be crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus(J)

16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace(K) (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18 And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!”(L) 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out(M) to crucify him.

The Crucifixion of Jesus(N)

21 A certain man from Cyrene,(O) Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus,(P) was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.(Q) 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh,(R) but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots(S) to see what each would get.

25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. 26 The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.(T)

27 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. [28] [a] 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(U) and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(V) 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!” 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him(W) among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah,(X) this king of Israel,(Y) come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

The Death of Jesus(Z)

33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.(AA) 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[b](AB)

35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”

36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar,(AC) put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.

37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.(AD)

38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.(AE) 39 And when the centurion,(AF) who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,[c] he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”(AG)

40 Some women were watching from a distance.(AH) Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph,[d] and Salome.(AI) 41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.(AJ)

The Burial of Jesus(AK)

42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath).(AL) So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council,(AM) who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God,(AN) went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 45 When he learned from the centurion(AO) that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.(AP) 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph(AQ) saw where he was laid.

15 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.

And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.

But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.

14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,

18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.

21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.

22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.

23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.

24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, The King Of The Jews.

27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,

30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.

36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.

37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.

42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.

Jesús ante Pilato(A)

15 Muy de mañana, los jefes de los sacerdotes, con los líderes religiosos, los maestros de la Ley y el Consejo en pleno, llegaron a una decisión. Ataron a Jesús, se lo llevaron y se lo entregaron a Pilato.

—¿Eres tú el rey de los judíos? —le preguntó Pilato.

—Tú mismo lo dices —respondió.

Los jefes de los sacerdotes se pusieron a acusarlo de muchas cosas.

—¿No vas a contestar? —preguntó de nuevo Pilato—. Mira de cuántas cosas te están acusando.

Pero Jesús ni aun con eso contestó nada, de modo que Pilato se quedó asombrado.

Ahora bien, durante la fiesta él acostumbraba a soltar un preso, el que la gente pidiera. Y resulta que un hombre llamado Barrabás estaba encarcelado con los rebeldes condenados por haber cometido homicidio en una rebelión. Subió la multitud y pidió a Pilato que le concediera lo que acostumbraba.

—¿Quieren que suelte al rey de los judíos? —respondió Pilato, 10 porque se daba cuenta de que los jefes de los sacerdotes habían entregado a Jesús por envidia.

11 Pero los jefes de los sacerdotes incitaron a la multitud para que Pilato soltara más bien a Barrabás.

12 —¿Y qué voy a hacer con el que ustedes llaman el rey de los judíos? —preguntó Pilato.

13 —¡Crucifícalo! —gritaron.

14 Pilato les preguntó:

—¿Por qué? ¿Qué crimen ha cometido?

Pero ellos gritaban aún más fuerte:

—¡Crucifícalo!

15 Como quería satisfacer a la multitud, Pilato soltó a Barrabás; a Jesús lo mandó azotar y lo entregó para que lo crucificaran.

Los soldados se burlan de Jesús(B)

16 Los soldados llevaron a Jesús al interior del palacio (es decir, al pretorio) y reunieron a toda la tropa. 17 Le pusieron un manto color púrpura; luego trenzaron una corona de espinas y se la colocaron.

18 —¡Viva el rey de los judíos! —lo aclamaban.

19 Lo golpeaban en la cabeza con una vara y lo escupían. Doblando la rodilla, le rendían homenaje. 20 Después de burlarse de él, le quitaron el manto color púrpura, le pusieron su propia ropa y se lo llevaron para crucificarlo.

La crucifixión(C)

21 A uno que pasaba por allí de vuelta del campo, un tal Simón de Cirene, padre de Alejandro y de Rufo, lo obligaron a llevar la cruz. 22 Condujeron a Jesús al lugar llamado Gólgota, que significa «Lugar de la Calavera». 23 Le dieron vino mezclado con mirra, pero no lo tomó. 24 Y lo crucificaron. Repartieron su ropa, echando suertes para ver qué le tocaría a cada uno.

25 Eran las nueve de la mañana[a] cuando lo crucificaron. 26 Un letrero tenía escrita la causa de su condena:

el rey de los judíos.

27 Con él crucificaron a dos bandidos,[b] uno a su derecha y otro a su izquierda. 28 [c] 29 Los que pasaban meneaban la cabeza y blasfemaban contra él:

—¡Eh! Tú que destruyes el Templo y en tres días lo reconstruyes, 30 ¡baja de la cruz y sálvate a ti mismo!

31 De la misma manera se burlaban de él los jefes de los sacerdotes, junto con los maestros de la Ley.

—Salvó a otros —decían—, ¡pero no puede salvarse a sí mismo! 32 Que baje ahora de la cruz ese Cristo, el rey de Israel, para que veamos y creamos.

También lo insultaban los que estaban crucificados con él.

Muerte de Jesús(D)

33 Desde el mediodía y hasta las tres de la tarde toda la tierra quedó en oscuridad. 34 A las tres de la tarde,[d] Jesús gritó con fuerza:

Eloi, Eloi, ¿lema sabactani? —que significa “Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has abandonado?”.[e]

35 Cuando lo oyeron, algunos de los que estaban cerca dijeron:

—Escuchen, está llamando a Elías.

36 Un hombre corrió, empapó una esponja en vinagre, la puso en una vara y se la ofreció a Jesús para que bebiera.

—Déjenlo, a ver si viene Elías a bajarlo —dijo.

37 Entonces Jesús, lanzando un fuerte grito, expiró.

38 La cortina del santuario del Templo se rasgó en dos, de arriba a abajo. 39 Y el centurión, que estaba frente a Jesús, al ver cómo murió, dijo:

—¡Verdaderamente este hombre era el Hijo de Dios!

40 Algunas mujeres miraban desde lejos. Entre ellas estaban María Magdalena, María la madre de Santiago, el menor, y de José y Salomé. 41 Estas mujeres lo habían seguido y atendido cuando estaba en Galilea. Además, había allí muchas otras que habían subido con él a Jerusalén.

Sepultura de Jesús(E)

42 Era el día de preparación, es decir, la víspera del sábado. Así que al atardecer, 43 José de Arimatea, miembro distinguido del Consejo, que también esperaba el reino de Dios, se atrevió a presentarse ante Pilato para pedirle el cuerpo de Jesús. 44 Pilato, sorprendido de que ya hubiera muerto, llamó al centurión y le preguntó si hacía mucho que[f] había muerto. 45 Una vez informado por el centurión, entregó el cuerpo a José. 46 Entonces José bajó el cuerpo, lo envolvió en una sábana de tela de lino que había comprado y lo puso en un sepulcro cavado en la roca. Luego hizo rodar una piedra a la entrada del sepulcro. 47 María Magdalena y María la madre de José vieron dónde lo pusieron.
