約翰福音 19
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
19 於是彼拉多命人鞭打耶穌。 2 士兵用荊棘編成冠冕戴在祂頭上，又拿紫袍給祂穿上， 3 來到祂面前說：「猶太人的王萬歲！」然後又用手掌打祂。
4 彼拉多又走到外面對眾人說：「我把祂帶到你們面前，好讓你們知道我查不出祂有什麼罪。」 5 於是，耶穌戴著荊棘冠冕、穿著紫色長袍出來。彼拉多對眾人說：「你們看這個人！」
6 祭司長和差役一見耶穌，就喊道：「把祂釘在十字架上！把祂釘在十字架上！」
彼拉多說：「你們自己把祂帶去釘十字架吧！因為我查不出祂有什麼罪。」
7 猶太人回答說：「我們有律法，按照那律法，祂應當被處死，因為祂自稱是上帝的兒子。」
8 彼拉多聽了這話，更加害怕， 9 連忙將耶穌帶回總督府，問祂：「你到底是從哪裡來的？」但耶穌沒有回答。
10 彼拉多說：「你不回答我嗎？難道你不知道我有權釋放你，也有權把你釘在十字架上嗎？」
11 耶穌回答說：「除非從上面賜下權柄給你，否則你無權處置我。因此，把我交給你的那人罪更大。」
12 從那時起，彼拉多想要釋放耶穌，可是猶太人卻一直喊叫：「如果你釋放這個人，你就不是凱撒的忠臣[a]。凡自以為王的，就是背叛凱撒。」
13 彼拉多聽了這話，就帶著耶穌來到一個地方，名叫「鋪石地」，那地方希伯來話叫厄巴大。彼拉多在那裡開庭審判祂。 14 那天正是逾越節的預備日，大約在中午十二時，彼拉多對猶太人說：「看啊！你們的王。」
15 眾人喊道：「除掉祂！除掉祂！把祂釘在十字架上！」
彼拉多說：「我可以把你們的王釘在十字架上嗎？」
祭司長答道：「除了凱撒，我們沒有別的王！」
16 於是，彼拉多將耶穌交給他們去釘十字架，他們就把耶穌帶走了。
釘十字架
17 耶穌背著自己的十字架出來，前往髑髏地[b]，那地方希伯來話叫各各他。 18 他們在那裡把耶穌釘在十字架上。同時還釘了兩個人，一邊一個，耶穌在當中。 19 彼拉多寫了一個告示，安在十字架上，上面寫著「猶太人的王，拿撒勒人耶穌」。 20 因為耶穌被釘十字架的地方離城不遠，告示上面的字是用希伯來、羅馬、希臘三種文字寫的，所以很多猶太人讀了上面的字。
21 猶太人的祭司長對彼拉多說：「不要寫『猶太人的王』，應該寫『這人自稱是猶太人的王』。」
22 彼拉多說：「我寫了就寫了。」
23 士兵把耶穌釘在十字架上，又把祂的衣服分成四份，每人一份。剩下的內衣從上到下是一塊布，沒有縫口， 24 他們就商量說：「不要撕破它，讓我們抽籤決定給誰吧。」這件事是要應驗聖經上的話：「他們分了我的外衣，又為我的內衣抽籤。」士兵果然這樣做了。
25 耶穌的十字架旁邊站著祂母親、祂母親的一個姊妹、革羅罷的妻子瑪麗亞和抹大拉的瑪麗亞。 26 耶穌看見祂的母親和祂所愛的門徒都站在旁邊，就對母親說：「婦人，看啊，他是你的兒子。」 27 然後對門徒說：「看啊，她是你的母親。」從那天起，那個門徒就把她接到自己家裡去了。
耶穌之死
28 後來，耶穌知道一切的事已經完成，就說：「我渴了。」這是要應驗聖經上的話。 29 那裡有一個器皿盛滿了醋酒。有人用海綿蘸滿了醋酒綁在牛膝草上送到祂的嘴裡， 30 耶穌嚐了那醋酒，然後說：「成了！」就垂下頭來，將靈魂交給了上帝。
31 因為那天是預備日，第二天的安息日是個大日子，為了避免在安息日有屍首留在十字架上，猶太人便求彼拉多叫人打斷他們的腿，好把他們搬走。 32 於是，士兵上前把與耶穌同釘十字架的兩個人的腿都打斷了。 33 但是他們來到耶穌那裡時，發現祂已經死了，就沒有打斷祂的腿， 34 只是有一個士兵用矛刺了一下祂的肋旁，頓時有血和水流了出來。 35 看見這事的人為此做見證，他的見證是真實的，他知道自己所說的是事實，好讓你們可以相信。 36 這些事的發生是為了應驗聖經上的話：「祂的骨頭一根也不會折斷」； 37 「他們要仰望自己所刺的那位。」
安葬耶穌
38 事後，有一個名叫約瑟的亞利馬太人請求彼拉多讓他為耶穌收屍。他因為畏懼猶太人，只是暗中做耶穌的門徒。彼拉多批准了，他就把耶穌的遺體領去。 39 曾經夜訪耶穌的尼哥德慕也來了，他帶來了沒藥和沉香調成的香料，重約三十四公斤。 40 他們按照猶太人殯葬的習俗，用細麻布加上香料把耶穌的遺體裹好。 41 在耶穌被釘十字架的地方有一個園子，裡邊有一座新墳墓，從來沒有安葬過人。 42 因為那天是猶太人的預備日，這座新墳墓也在附近，他們就把耶穌安放在那裡。

Jesus Flogged and Mocked
19 Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged. 2 The soldiers also twisted together a crown(A) of thorns, put it on His head, and threw a purple robe around Him. 3 And they repeatedly came up to Him(B) and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and were slapping His face.
4 Pilate went outside again and said to them, “Look, I’m bringing Him outside to you to let you know I find no grounds(C) for charging Him.”
Pilate Sentences Jesus to Death
5 Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe.(D) Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”(E)
6 When the chief priests and the temple police saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!”
Pilate responded, “Take Him and crucify Him yourselves, for I find no grounds for charging Him.”
7 “We have a law,” the Jews replied to him, “and according to that law He must die,(F) because He made Himself[a] the Son of God.”(G)
8 When Pilate heard this statement, he was more afraid than ever. 9 He went back into the headquarters(H) and asked Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus did not give him an answer.(I) 10 So Pilate said to Him, “You’re not talking to me? Don’t You know that I have the authority to release You and the authority to crucify You?”
11 “You would have no authority over Me at all,” Jesus answered him, “if it hadn’t been given you from above. This is why the one who handed Me over to you has the greater sin.”[b](J)
12 From that moment Pilate made every effort[c] to release Him. But the Jews shouted, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s friend. Anyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar!”
13 When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus outside. He sat down on the judge’s bench in a place called the Stone Pavement (but in Hebrew Gabbatha). 14 It was the preparation day for the Passover, and it was about six in the morning.[d] Then he told the Jews, “Here is your king!”
15 But they shouted, “Take Him away! Take Him away! Crucify Him!”
Pilate said to them, “Should I crucify your king?”
“We have no king but Caesar!” the chief priests answered.
16 So then, because of them, he handed Him over to be crucified.
The Crucifixion
Therefore they took Jesus away.[e] 17 Carrying(K) His own cross,(L) He went out to what is called Skull Place, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha. 18 There they crucified Him and two others with Him, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle. 19 Pilate also had a sign lettered and put on the cross. The inscription was:
JESUS THE NAZARENE
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city,(M) and it was written in Hebrew,[f] Latin, and Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’(N) but that He said, ‘I am the King of the Jews.’”
22 Pilate replied, “What I have written, I have written.”
23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took His clothes and divided them into four parts, a part for each soldier. They also took the tunic, which was seamless, woven in one piece from the top. 24 So they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it, to see who gets it.” They did this to fulfill(O) the Scripture(P) that says: They divided My clothes among themselves, and they cast lots for My clothing.(Q)[g] And this is what the soldiers did.
Jesus’ Provision for His Mother
25 Standing(R) by the cross(S) of Jesus were His mother,(T) His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.(U) 26 When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple He loved(V) standing there, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.” 27 Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
The Finished Work of Jesus
28 After(W) this, when Jesus knew that everything was now accomplished(X) that the Scripture might be fulfilled, He said, “I’m thirsty!”(Y) 29 A jar full of sour wine was sitting there; so they fixed a sponge full of sour wine on hyssop[h](Z) and held it up to His mouth.
30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!”(AA) Then bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.(AB)
Jesus’ Side Pierced
31 Since it was the preparation day,(AC) the Jews did not want the bodies(AD) to remain on the cross(AE) on the Sabbath(AF) (for that Sabbath was a special[i] day). They requested that Pilate have the men’s legs broken and that their bodies be taken away.(AG) 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other one who had been crucified with Him. 33 When they came to Jesus, they did not break His legs since they saw that He was already dead.(AH) 34 But one of the soldiers pierced(AI) His side(AJ) with a spear, and at once blood and water(AK) came out. 35 He who saw this has testified(AL) so that you also may believe. His testimony is true, and he knows he is telling the truth.(AM) 36 For these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled:(AN) Not one of His bones will be broken.(AO)[j] 37 Also, another Scripture says: They will look at the One they pierced.(AP)[k]
Jesus’ Burial
38 After(AQ) this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus—but secretly because of his fear of the Jews—asked Pilate that he might remove Jesus’ body.(AR) Pilate gave him permission, so he came and took His body away. 39 Nicodemus(AS) (who had previously come to Him at night) also came, bringing a mixture of about 75 pounds[l] of myrrh and aloes. 40 Then they took Jesus’ body(AT) and wrapped it in linen cloths(AU) with the aromatic spices, according to the burial(AV) custom of the Jews. 41 There was a garden in the place where He was crucified. A new tomb was in the garden; no one had yet been placed in it. 42 They placed Jesus there because of the Jewish preparation and since the tomb was nearby.

38 事後，有一個名叫約瑟的亞利馬太人請求彼拉多讓他為耶穌收屍。他因為畏懼猶太人，只是暗中做耶穌的門徒。彼拉多批准了，他就把耶穌的遺體領去。 39 曾經夜訪耶穌的尼哥德慕也來了，他帶來了沒藥和沉香調成的香料，重約三十四公斤。 40 他們按照猶太人殯葬的習俗，用細麻布加上香料把耶穌的遺體裹好。 41 在耶穌被釘十字架的地方有一個園子，裡邊有一座新墳墓，從來沒有安葬過人。 42 因為那天是猶太人的預備日，這座新墳墓也在附近，他們就把耶穌安放在那裡。

Jesus Flogged and Mocked
19 Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged. 2 The soldiers also twisted together a crown(A) of thorns, put it on His head, and threw a purple robe around Him. 3 And they repeatedly came up to Him(B) and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and were slapping His face.
4 Pilate went outside again and said to them, “Look, I’m bringing Him outside to you to let you know I find no grounds(C) for charging Him.”
Pilate Sentences Jesus to Death
5 Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe.(D) Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”(E)
6 When the chief priests and the temple police saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!”
Pilate responded, “Take Him and crucify Him yourselves, for I find no grounds for charging Him.”
7 “We have a law,” the Jews replied to him, “and according to that law He must die,(F) because He made Himself[a] the Son of God.”(G)
8 When Pilate heard this statement, he was more afraid than ever. 9 He went back into the headquarters(H) and asked Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus did not give him an answer.(I) 10 So Pilate said to Him, “You’re not talking to me? Don’t You know that I have the authority to release You and the authority to crucify You?”
11 “You would have no authority over Me at all,” Jesus answered him, “if it hadn’t been given you from above. This is why the one who handed Me over to you has the greater sin.”[b](J)
12 From that moment Pilate made every effort[c] to release Him. But the Jews shouted, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s friend. Anyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar!”
13 When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus outside. He sat down on the judge’s bench in a place called the Stone Pavement (but in Hebrew Gabbatha). 14 It was the preparation day for the Passover, and it was about six in the morning.[d] Then he told the Jews, “Here is your king!”
15 But they shouted, “Take Him away! Take Him away! Crucify Him!”
Pilate said to them, “Should I crucify your king?”
“We have no king but Caesar!” the chief priests answered.
16 So then, because of them, he handed Him over to be crucified.
The Crucifixion
Therefore they took Jesus away.[e] 17 Carrying(K) His own cross,(L) He went out to what is called Skull Place, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha. 18 There they crucified Him and two others with Him, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle. 19 Pilate also had a sign lettered and put on the cross. The inscription was:
JESUS THE NAZARENE
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city,(M) and it was written in Hebrew,[f] Latin, and Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’(N) but that He said, ‘I am the King of the Jews.’”
22 Pilate replied, “What I have written, I have written.”
23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took His clothes and divided them into four parts, a part for each soldier. They also took the tunic, which was seamless, woven in one piece from the top. 24 So they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it, to see who gets it.” They did this to fulfill(O) the Scripture(P) that says: They divided My clothes among themselves, and they cast lots for My clothing.(Q)[g] And this is what the soldiers did.
Jesus’ Provision for His Mother
25 Standing(R) by the cross(S) of Jesus were His mother,(T) His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.(U) 26 When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple He loved(V) standing there, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.” 27 Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
The Finished Work of Jesus
28 After(W) this, when Jesus knew that everything was now accomplished(X) that the Scripture might be fulfilled, He said, “I’m thirsty!”(Y) 29 A jar full of sour wine was sitting there; so they fixed a sponge full of sour wine on hyssop[h](Z) and held it up to His mouth.
30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!”(AA) Then bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.(AB)
Jesus’ Side Pierced
31 Since it was the preparation day,(AC) the Jews did not want the bodies(AD) to remain on the cross(AE) on the Sabbath(AF) (for that Sabbath was a special[i] day). They requested that Pilate have the men’s legs broken and that their bodies be taken away.(AG) 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other one who had been crucified with Him. 33 When they came to Jesus, they did not break His legs since they saw that He was already dead.(AH) 34 But one of the soldiers pierced(AI) His side(AJ) with a spear, and at once blood and water(AK) came out. 35 He who saw this has testified(AL) so that you also may believe. His testimony is true, and he knows he is telling the truth.(AM) 36 For these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled:(AN) Not one of His bones will be broken.(AO)[j] 37 Also, another Scripture says: They will look at the One they pierced.(AP)[k]
Jesus’ Burial
38 After(AQ) this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus—but secretly because of his fear of the Jews—asked Pilate that he might remove Jesus’ body.(AR) Pilate gave him permission, so he came and took His body away. 39 Nicodemus(AS) (who had previously come to Him at night) also came, bringing a mixture of about 75 pounds[l] of myrrh and aloes. 40 Then they took Jesus’ body(AT) and wrapped it in linen cloths(AU) with the aromatic spices, according to the burial(AV) custom of the Jews. 41 There was a garden in the place where He was crucified. A new tomb was in the garden; no one had yet been placed in it. 42 They placed Jesus there because of the Jewish preparation and since the tomb was nearby.
