耶稣被捕
18 耶稣祷告完毕，就带着门徒渡过汲沦溪，进了那里的一个园子。 2 因为耶稣时常带着门徒到那里聚会，所以出卖耶稣的犹大也知道那地方。 3 这时，犹大带着一队士兵以及祭司长和法利赛人的差役，拿着灯笼、火把和兵器来了。 4 耶稣早就知道将要发生在自己身上的一切事，于是出来问他们：“你们找谁？”
5 他们回答说：“拿撒勒人耶稣！”
耶稣说：“我就是。”那时出卖耶稣的犹大也站在他们当中。
6 他们听到耶稣说“我就是”，便后退跌倒在地上。
7 耶稣又问：“你们找谁？”
他们说：“拿撒勒人耶稣。”
8 耶稣说：“我已经告诉你们我就是。你们既然找我，就让这些人走吧。” 9 这是要应验祂以前说的：“你赐给我的人一个也没有失掉。”
10 这时，西门·彼得带着一把刀，他拔刀向大祭司的奴仆马勒古砍去，削掉了他的右耳。
11 耶稣对彼得说：“收刀入鞘吧！我父赐给我的杯，我怎能不喝呢？”
12 千夫长带着士兵和犹太人的差役上前把耶稣捆绑起来，带了回去。 13 他们押着耶稣去见亚那，就是那一年的大祭司该亚法的岳父。 14 这个该亚法以前曾对犹太人建议说：“让祂一个人替众人死对你们更好。”
彼得不认主
15 西门·彼得和另一个门徒跟在耶稣后面。由于那门徒和大祭司认识，他就跟着耶稣来到大祭司的院子。 16 彼得留在门外。后来，大祭司所认识的那个门徒出来对看门的女仆说了一声，便把彼得也带了进去。
17 看门的女仆问彼得：“你不也是这个人的门徒吗？”
他说：“我不是。”
18 天气很冷，奴仆和差役生了一堆火，站着烤火取暖，彼得也跟他们站在一起烤火取暖。 19 此时，大祭司正在盘问耶稣有关祂的门徒和祂的教导之事。
20 耶稣说：“我是公开对世人讲的，我常在犹太人聚集的会堂和圣殿教导人，没有在背地里讲过什么。 21 你何必问我呢？问那些听过我讲的人吧，他们知道我讲过什么。”
22 耶稣话才说完，站在旁边的差役就打了祂一耳光，说：“你敢这样回答大祭司！”
23 耶稣说：“如果我说错了，你可以指出我错在哪里。如果我说的对，你为什么打我呢？”
24 亚那把被捆绑起来的耶稣押到大祭司该亚法那里。
25 那时西门·彼得仍然站着烤火，有人问他：“你不也是那人的门徒吗？”
彼得否认说：“我不是！”
26 一个大祭司的奴仆，就是被彼得削掉耳朵的那个人的亲戚说：“我不是看见你和祂一起在园子里吗？” 27 彼得再次否认。就在那时，鸡叫了。
彼拉多审问耶稣
28 黎明的时候，众人从该亚法那里把耶稣押往总督府，他们自己却没有进去，因为怕沾染污秽，不能吃逾越节的晚餐。 29 彼拉多出来问他们：“你们控告这个人什么罪？”
30 他们回答说：“如果祂没有为非作歹，我们也不会把祂送到你这里来。”
31 彼拉多说：“你们把祂带走，按照你们的律法去审理吧。”
犹太人说：“可是我们无权把人处死。” 32 这是要应验耶稣预言自己会怎样死的话。
33 彼拉多回到总督府提审耶稣，问道：“你是犹太人的王吗？”
34 耶稣回答说：“你这样问是你自己的意思还是听别人说的？”
35 彼拉多说：“难道我是犹太人吗？是你们犹太人和祭司长把你送来的。你到底犯了什么罪？”
36 耶稣答道：“我的国不属于这个世界，如果我的国属于这个世界，我的臣仆早就起来争战了，我也不会被交在犹太人的手里。但我的国不属于这个世界。”
37 于是彼拉多对祂说：“那么，你是王吗？”
耶稣说：“你说我是王，我正是为此而生，也为此来到世上为真理做见证，属于真理的人都听从我的话。”
38 彼拉多说：“真理是什么？”说完了，又到外面对犹太人说：“我查不出祂有什么罪。 39 不过按照惯例，在逾越节的时候，我要给你们释放一个人。现在，你们要我释放这个犹太人的王吗？”
40 众人又高喊：“不要这个人！我们要巴拉巴！”巴拉巴是个强盗。
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。
耶稣复活
20 周日清晨，天还未亮，抹大拉的玛丽亚就来到坟墓前，发现封住墓口的石头已经挪开了。 2 她赶快跑去告诉西门·彼得和耶稣所爱的那个门徒，说：“有人把主从坟墓里搬走了，不知放到哪里去了。”
3 彼得和那个门徒听了就出去，往坟墓那边跑。 4 两个人一起跑，但那个门徒比彼得跑得快，所以先到了坟墓。 5 他并没有进去，只是探头往里看，看见细麻布还在那里。 6 西门·彼得随后也来了，他进到里边，看到细麻布放在那里， 7 耶稣的裹头巾则卷着放在另一处，没有和细麻布放在一起。 8 先到的那个门徒也进来了，看见这种情形，就信了。 9 因为他们还不明白圣经上有关耶稣必要从死里复活的话。 10 然后，他们各自回家去了。
11 玛丽亚却站在坟墓外面哭泣，边哭边往坟墓里面看， 12 看见两个穿着白衣的天使分别坐在原来安放耶稣遗体的头脚两端。
13 天使对她说：“妇人，你为什么哭呢？”
她说：“有人把我的主搬走了，不知道放在什么地方。” 14 说完，她转过身来，看见耶稣站在那里，但她不知道那就是耶稣。
15 耶稣问她：“妇人，你为什么哭？你在找谁？”
玛丽亚还以为祂是园丁，就说：“先生，如果是你把祂搬走了，请告诉我放在哪里了，我好搬回来。”
16 耶稣说：“玛丽亚。”
玛丽亚立即转过头来用希伯来话对祂说：“拉波尼！”拉波尼的意思是老师。
17 耶稣说：“不要拉着我，我还没有升到父那里。你先去找我的众弟兄，告诉他们我要升天去见我的父，也是你们的父；去见我的上帝，也是你们的上帝。”
18 抹大拉的玛丽亚就去向门徒报讯，说：“我看见主了！”又把主对她说的话告诉门徒。
向门徒显现
19 当天晚上，即周日晚上，门徒因为害怕犹太人，把房门都关上了。忽然，耶稣来了，站在他们当中，对他们说：“愿你们平安！” 20 说完，让他们看祂的手和肋旁。门徒看见主，十分欢喜。
21 耶稣又说：“愿你们平安！父怎样差遣我，我也照样差遣你们。” 22 然后祂向他们吹了一口气，说：“你们领受圣灵吧！ 23 你们赦免谁的罪，谁的罪就得到赦免；你们不赦免谁的罪，谁的罪就得不到赦免。”
向多马显现
24 耶稣显现的时候，十二个门徒中绰号“双胞胎”的多马不在场。 25 其他门徒告诉他：“我们看见主了！”可是多马说：“除非我亲眼看见祂手上的钉痕，用手摸到祂手上的钉痕和祂的肋旁，否则我决不信。”
26 过了八天，门徒又聚在一起，多马也在，门都关着。突然耶稣来了，站在他们当中说：“愿你们平安！” 27 然后对多马说：“把你的指头放在我手上摸摸看，伸出手来摸摸我的肋旁。不要怀疑，要信！”
28 多马回答说：“我的主，我的上帝！”
29 耶稣说：“你看见我才信，那些没有看见就信的人有福了。”
30 耶稣在门徒面前还行了许多神迹，只是没有记在这本书里。 31 而记载这些事的目的是为了使你们相信耶稣就是基督，是上帝的儿子，并且使你们这些信祂的人可以靠祂的名得到生命。
海边显现
21 后来，耶稣在提比哩亚海边又向门徒显现。当时的情形是这样： 2 西门·彼得、绰号“双胞胎”的多马、加利利的迦拿人拿但业、西庇太的两个儿子以及其他两个门徒都在一起。
3 西门·彼得对他们说：“我要去打鱼了！”
众人说：“我们也跟你去。”于是他们就出去，上了船，但那一夜什么也没打到。 4 天将破晓的时候，耶稣站在岸上，但门徒都不知道是耶稣。
5 耶稣对他们说：“孩子们，打到鱼没有？”
他们回答说：“没有！”
6 耶稣说：“在船的右边下网就会打到鱼。”于是他们照着祂的话把网撒下去，网到的鱼多到连网都拉不动。
7 耶稣所爱的那个门徒对彼得说：“是主！”那时西门·彼得赤着身子，一听见是主，立刻束上外衣，跳进海里。 8 其他门徒离岸不远，约有一百米，他们随后用船把那一网鱼拖到岸边。 9 他们上岸后，看见有一堆炭火，上面有鱼和饼。
10 耶稣说：“拿几条刚打的鱼来。” 11 西门·彼得就上船把网拉上岸。网里一共有一百五十三条大鱼！虽然鱼这么多，网却没有破。
12 耶稣又说：“你们来吃早餐吧！”没有一个门徒敢问祂是谁，他们都知道祂是主。 13 耶稣就过来把饼和鱼分给他们。
14 这是耶稣从死里复活后第三次向门徒显现。
耶稣和彼得
15 吃过早餐，耶稣对西门·彼得说：“约翰的儿子西门，你比这些人更爱我吗？[c]”
彼得说：“主啊！是的，你知道我爱你。”
耶稣对他说：“你要喂养我的小羊。”
16 耶稣第二次问：“约翰的儿子西门，你爱我吗？”
彼得说：“主啊！是的，你知道我爱你。”
耶稣说：“你要牧养我的羊。”
17 耶稣第三次问：“约翰的儿子西门，你爱我吗？”
彼得因为耶稣一连三次这样问他，就难过起来，于是对耶稣说：“主啊！你是无所不知的，你知道我爱你。”
耶稣说：“你要喂养我的羊。 18 我实实在在地告诉你，你年轻力壮的时候，自己穿上衣服，想去哪里就去哪里。但到你年老的时候，你将伸出手来，别人要把你绑起来带你到你不愿意去的地方。” 19 这话是暗示彼得将要怎样死来使上帝得荣耀。之后，耶稣又对他说：“你跟从我吧！”
20 彼得转身看见耶稣所爱的那个门徒跟在后面，就是吃最后的晚餐时靠在耶稣身边问“主啊！是谁要出卖你？”的那个门徒。 21 彼得问耶稣：“主啊！他将来会怎样呢？”
22 耶稣说：“如果我要他活到我再来，与你有什么关系？你只管跟从我吧！”
23 于是在信徒中间就传说那个门徒不会死。其实耶稣并没有说他不会死，只是说：“如果我要他活到我再来，与你有什么关系？”
24 为这些事做见证、记录这些事的就是那个门徒，我们都知道他的见证是真实的。 25 耶稣还做了许多其他的事，如果都写成书，我想整个世界也容纳不下。

John 18-21
New International Version
Jesus Arrested(A)
18 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley.(B) On the other side there was a garden,(C) and he and his disciples went into it.(D)
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.(E) 3 So Judas came to the garden, guiding(F) a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees.(G) They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him,(H) went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”(I)
5 “Jesus of Nazareth,”(J) they replied.
“I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) 6 When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”(K)
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” 9 This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”[a](L)
10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)
11 Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup(M) the Father has given me?”
12 Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials(N) arrested Jesus. They bound him 13 and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas,(O) the high priest that year. 14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people.(P)
Peter’s First Denial(Q)
15 Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest,(R) he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard,(S) 16 but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the servant girl on duty there and brought Peter in.
17 “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you?” she asked Peter.
He replied, “I am not.”(T)
18 It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire(U) they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.(V)
The High Priest Questions Jesus(W)
19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
20 “I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus replied. “I always taught in synagogues(X) or at the temple,(Y) where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.(Z) 21 Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said.”
22 When Jesus said this, one of the officials(AA) nearby slapped him in the face.(AB) “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” he demanded.
23 “If I said something wrong,” Jesus replied, “testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?”(AC) 24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas(AD) the high priest.
Peter’s Second and Third Denials(AE)
25 Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself.(AF) So they asked him, “You aren’t one of his disciples too, are you?”
He denied it, saying, “I am not.”(AG)
26 One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off,(AH) challenged him, “Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?”(AI) 27 Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow.(AJ)
Jesus Before Pilate(AK)
28 Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor.(AL) By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace,(AM) because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.(AN) 29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”
30 “If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.”
31 Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.”
“But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected. 32 This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die.(AO)
33 Pilate then went back inside the palace,(AP) summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”(AQ)
34 “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?”
35 “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?”
36 Jesus said, “My kingdom(AR) is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders.(AS) But now my kingdom is from another place.”(AT)
37 “You are a king, then!” said Pilate.
Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth.(AU) Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”(AV)
38 “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him.(AW) 39 But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?”
40 They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.(AX)
Jesus Sentenced to Be Crucified(AY)
19 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.(AZ) 2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe 3 and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!”(BA) And they slapped him in the face.(BB)
4 Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews gathered there, “Look, I am bringing him out(BC) to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”(BD) 5 When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe,(BE) Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
6 As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!”
But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him.(BF) As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.”(BG)
7 The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die,(BH) because he claimed to be the Son of God.”(BI)
8 When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, 9 and he went back inside the palace.(BJ) “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer.(BK) 10 “Do you refuse to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?”
11 Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above.(BL) Therefore the one who handed me over to you(BM) is guilty of a greater sin.”
12 From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, “If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king(BN) opposes Caesar.”
13 When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge’s seat(BO) at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic(BP) is Gabbatha). 14 It was the day of Preparation(BQ) of the Passover; it was about noon.(BR)
“Here is your king,”(BS) Pilate said to the Jews.
15 But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!”
“Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked.
“We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.
16 Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified.(BT)
The Crucifixion of Jesus(BU)
So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. 17 Carrying his own cross,(BV) he went out to the place of the Skull(BW) (which in Aramaic(BX) is called Golgotha). 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others(BY)—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: jesus of nazareth,(BZ) the king of the jews.(CA) 20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city,(CB) and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. 21 The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews.”(CC)
22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
24 “Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.”
This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled(CD) that said,
So this is what the soldiers did.
25 Near the cross(CF) of Jesus stood his mother,(CG) his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.(CH) 26 When Jesus saw his mother(CI) there, and the disciple whom he loved(CJ) standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman,[c] here is your son,” 27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
The Death of Jesus(CK)
28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished,(CL) and so that Scripture would be fulfilled,(CM) Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of wine vinegar(CN) was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. 30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.”(CO) With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
31 Now it was the day of Preparation,(CP) and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses(CQ) during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. 32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other.(CR) 33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced(CS) Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.(CT) 35 The man who saw it(CU) has given testimony, and his testimony is true.(CV) He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. 36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled:(CW) “Not one of his bones will be broken,”[d](CX) 37 and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.”[e](CY)
The Burial of Jesus(CZ)
38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders.(DA) With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus,(DB) the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.[f] 40 Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen.(DC) This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.(DD) 41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. 42 Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation(DE) and since the tomb was nearby,(DF) they laid Jesus there.
The Empty Tomb(DG)
20 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene(DH) went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.(DI) 2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved,(DJ) and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”(DK)
3 So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.(DL) 4 Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent over and looked in(DM) at the strips of linen(DN) lying there but did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head.(DO) The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. 8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first,(DP) also went inside. He saw and believed. 9 (They still did not understand from Scripture(DQ) that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)(DR) 10 Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb(DS) 12 and saw two angels in white,(DT) seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”(DU)
“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”(DV) 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there,(DW) but she did not realize that it was Jesus.(DX)
15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?(DY) Who is it you are looking for?”
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic,(DZ) “Rabboni!”(EA) (which means “Teacher”).
17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers(EB) and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father(EC) and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18 Mary Magdalene(ED) went to the disciples(EE) with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders,(EF) Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace(EG) be with you!”(EH) 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side.(EI) The disciples were overjoyed(EJ) when they saw the Lord.
21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you!(EK) As the Father has sent me,(EL) I am sending you.”(EM) 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.(EN) 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”(EO)
Jesus Appears to Thomas
24 Now Thomas(EP) (also known as Didymus[g]), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side,(EQ) I will not believe.”(ER)
26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace(ES) be with you!”(ET) 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”(EU)
28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed;(EV) blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”(EW)
The Purpose of John’s Gospel
30 Jesus performed many other signs(EX) in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book.(EY) 31 But these are written that you may believe[h](EZ) that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God,(FA) and that by believing you may have life in his name.(FB)
Jesus and the Miraculous Catch of Fish
21 Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples,(FC) by the Sea of Galilee.[i](FD) It happened this way: 2 Simon Peter, Thomas(FE) (also known as Didymus[j]), Nathanael(FF) from Cana in Galilee,(FG) the sons of Zebedee,(FH) and two other disciples were together. 3 “I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.(FI)
4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.(FJ)
5 He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?”
“No,” they answered.
6 He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.(FK)
7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved(FL) said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. 8 The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards.[k] 9 When they landed, they saw a fire(FM) of burning coals there with fish on it,(FN) and some bread.
10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.(FO) 14 This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples(FP) after he was raised from the dead.
Jesus Reinstates Peter
15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”
“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”(FQ)
Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”(FR)
16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”(FS)
17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?”(FT) He said, “Lord, you know all things;(FU) you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.(FV) 18 Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death(FW) by which Peter would glorify God.(FX) Then he said to him, “Follow me!”(FY)
20 Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved(FZ) was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”)(GA) 21 When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”
22 Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return,(GB) what is that to you? You must follow me.”(GC) 23 Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers(GD) that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”
24 This is the disciple who testifies to these things(GE) and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.(GF)
25 Jesus did many other things as well.(GG) If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.

耶稣被捕
18 耶稣祷告完毕，就带着门徒渡过汲沦溪，进了那里的一个园子。 2 因为耶稣时常带着门徒到那里聚会，所以出卖耶稣的犹大也知道那地方。 3 这时，犹大带着一队士兵以及祭司长和法利赛人的差役，拿着灯笼、火把和兵器来了。 4 耶稣早就知道将要发生在自己身上的一切事，于是出来问他们：“你们找谁？”
5 他们回答说：“拿撒勒人耶稣！”
耶稣说：“我就是。”那时出卖耶稣的犹大也站在他们当中。
6 他们听到耶稣说“我就是”，便后退跌倒在地上。
7 耶稣又问：“你们找谁？”
他们说：“拿撒勒人耶稣。”
8 耶稣说：“我已经告诉你们我就是。你们既然找我，就让这些人走吧。” 9 这是要应验祂以前说的：“你赐给我的人一个也没有失掉。”
10 这时，西门·彼得带着一把刀，他拔刀向大祭司的奴仆马勒古砍去，削掉了他的右耳。
11 耶稣对彼得说：“收刀入鞘吧！我父赐给我的杯，我怎能不喝呢？”
12 千夫长带着士兵和犹太人的差役上前把耶稣捆绑起来，带了回去。 13 他们押着耶稣去见亚那，就是那一年的大祭司该亚法的岳父。 14 这个该亚法以前曾对犹太人建议说：“让祂一个人替众人死对你们更好。”
彼得不认主
15 西门·彼得和另一个门徒跟在耶稣后面。由于那门徒和大祭司认识，他就跟着耶稣来到大祭司的院子。 16 彼得留在门外。后来，大祭司所认识的那个门徒出来对看门的女仆说了一声，便把彼得也带了进去。
17 看门的女仆问彼得：“你不也是这个人的门徒吗？”
他说：“我不是。”
18 天气很冷，奴仆和差役生了一堆火，站着烤火取暖，彼得也跟他们站在一起烤火取暖。 19 此时，大祭司正在盘问耶稣有关祂的门徒和祂的教导之事。
20 耶稣说：“我是公开对世人讲的，我常在犹太人聚集的会堂和圣殿教导人，没有在背地里讲过什么。 21 你何必问我呢？问那些听过我讲的人吧，他们知道我讲过什么。”
22 耶稣话才说完，站在旁边的差役就打了祂一耳光，说：“你敢这样回答大祭司！”
23 耶稣说：“如果我说错了，你可以指出我错在哪里。如果我说的对，你为什么打我呢？”
24 亚那把被捆绑起来的耶稣押到大祭司该亚法那里。
25 那时西门·彼得仍然站着烤火，有人问他：“你不也是那人的门徒吗？”
彼得否认说：“我不是！”
26 一个大祭司的奴仆，就是被彼得削掉耳朵的那个人的亲戚说：“我不是看见你和祂一起在园子里吗？” 27 彼得再次否认。就在那时，鸡叫了。
彼拉多审问耶稣
28 黎明的时候，众人从该亚法那里把耶稣押往总督府，他们自己却没有进去，因为怕沾染污秽，不能吃逾越节的晚餐。 29 彼拉多出来问他们：“你们控告这个人什么罪？”
30 他们回答说：“如果祂没有为非作歹，我们也不会把祂送到你这里来。”
31 彼拉多说：“你们把祂带走，按照你们的律法去审理吧。”
犹太人说：“可是我们无权把人处死。” 32 这是要应验耶稣预言自己会怎样死的话。
33 彼拉多回到总督府提审耶稣，问道：“你是犹太人的王吗？”
34 耶稣回答说：“你这样问是你自己的意思还是听别人说的？”
35 彼拉多说：“难道我是犹太人吗？是你们犹太人和祭司长把你送来的。你到底犯了什么罪？”
36 耶稣答道：“我的国不属于这个世界，如果我的国属于这个世界，我的臣仆早就起来争战了，我也不会被交在犹太人的手里。但我的国不属于这个世界。”
37 于是彼拉多对祂说：“那么，你是王吗？”
耶稣说：“你说我是王，我正是为此而生，也为此来到世上为真理做见证，属于真理的人都听从我的话。”
38 彼拉多说：“真理是什么？”说完了，又到外面对犹太人说：“我查不出祂有什么罪。 39 不过按照惯例，在逾越节的时候，我要给你们释放一个人。现在，你们要我释放这个犹太人的王吗？”
40 众人又高喊：“不要这个人！我们要巴拉巴！”巴拉巴是个强盗。
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。
耶稣复活
20 周日清晨，天还未亮，抹大拉的玛丽亚就来到坟墓前，发现封住墓口的石头已经挪开了。 2 她赶快跑去告诉西门·彼得和耶稣所爱的那个门徒，说：“有人把主从坟墓里搬走了，不知放到哪里去了。”
3 彼得和那个门徒听了就出去，往坟墓那边跑。 4 两个人一起跑，但那个门徒比彼得跑得快，所以先到了坟墓。 5 他并没有进去，只是探头往里看，看见细麻布还在那里。 6 西门·彼得随后也来了，他进到里边，看到细麻布放在那里， 7 耶稣的裹头巾则卷着放在另一处，没有和细麻布放在一起。 8 先到的那个门徒也进来了，看见这种情形，就信了。 9 因为他们还不明白圣经上有关耶稣必要从死里复活的话。 10 然后，他们各自回家去了。
11 玛丽亚却站在坟墓外面哭泣，边哭边往坟墓里面看， 12 看见两个穿着白衣的天使分别坐在原来安放耶稣遗体的头脚两端。
13 天使对她说：“妇人，你为什么哭呢？”
她说：“有人把我的主搬走了，不知道放在什么地方。” 14 说完，她转过身来，看见耶稣站在那里，但她不知道那就是耶稣。
15 耶稣问她：“妇人，你为什么哭？你在找谁？”
玛丽亚还以为祂是园丁，就说：“先生，如果是你把祂搬走了，请告诉我放在哪里了，我好搬回来。”
16 耶稣说：“玛丽亚。”
玛丽亚立即转过头来用希伯来话对祂说：“拉波尼！”拉波尼的意思是老师。
17 耶稣说：“不要拉着我，我还没有升到父那里。你先去找我的众弟兄，告诉他们我要升天去见我的父，也是你们的父；去见我的上帝，也是你们的上帝。”
18 抹大拉的玛丽亚就去向门徒报讯，说：“我看见主了！”又把主对她说的话告诉门徒。
向门徒显现
19 当天晚上，即周日晚上，门徒因为害怕犹太人，把房门都关上了。忽然，耶稣来了，站在他们当中，对他们说：“愿你们平安！” 20 说完，让他们看祂的手和肋旁。门徒看见主，十分欢喜。
21 耶稣又说：“愿你们平安！父怎样差遣我，我也照样差遣你们。” 22 然后祂向他们吹了一口气，说：“你们领受圣灵吧！ 23 你们赦免谁的罪，谁的罪就得到赦免；你们不赦免谁的罪，谁的罪就得不到赦免。”
向多马显现
24 耶稣显现的时候，十二个门徒中绰号“双胞胎”的多马不在场。 25 其他门徒告诉他：“我们看见主了！”可是多马说：“除非我亲眼看见祂手上的钉痕，用手摸到祂手上的钉痕和祂的肋旁，否则我决不信。”
26 过了八天，门徒又聚在一起，多马也在，门都关着。突然耶稣来了，站在他们当中说：“愿你们平安！” 27 然后对多马说：“把你的指头放在我手上摸摸看，伸出手来摸摸我的肋旁。不要怀疑，要信！”
28 多马回答说：“我的主，我的上帝！”
29 耶稣说：“你看见我才信，那些没有看见就信的人有福了。”
30 耶稣在门徒面前还行了许多神迹，只是没有记在这本书里。

Jesus Arrested(A)
18 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley.(B) On the other side there was a garden,(C) and he and his disciples went into it.(D)
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.(E) 3 So Judas came to the garden, guiding(F) a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees.(G) They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him,(H) went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”(I)
5 “Jesus of Nazareth,”(J) they replied.
“I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) 6 When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”(K)
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” 9 This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”[a](L)
10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)
11 Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup(M) the Father has given me?”
12 Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials(N) arrested Jesus. They bound him 13 and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas,(O) the high priest that year. 14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people.(P)
Peter’s First Denial(Q)
15 Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest,(R) he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard,(S) 16 but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the servant girl on duty there and brought Peter in.
17 “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you?” she asked Peter.
He replied, “I am not.”(T)
18 It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire(U) they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.(V)
The High Priest Questions Jesus(W)
19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
20 “I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus replied. “I always taught in synagogues(X) or at the temple,(Y) where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.(Z) 21 Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said.”
22 When Jesus said this, one of the officials(AA) nearby slapped him in the face.(AB) “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” he demanded.
23 “If I said something wrong,” Jesus replied, “testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?”(AC) 24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas(AD) the high priest.
Peter’s Second and Third Denials(AE)
25 Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself.(AF) So they asked him, “You aren’t one of his disciples too, are you?”
He denied it, saying, “I am not.”(AG)
26 One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off,(AH) challenged him, “Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?”(AI) 27 Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow.(AJ)
Jesus Before Pilate(AK)
28 Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor.(AL) By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace,(AM) because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.(AN) 29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”
30 “If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.”
31 Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.”
“But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected. 32 This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die.(AO)
33 Pilate then went back inside the palace,(AP) summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”(AQ)
34 “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?”
35 “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?”
36 Jesus said, “My kingdom(AR) is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders.(AS) But now my kingdom is from another place.”(AT)
37 “You are a king, then!” said Pilate.
Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth.(AU) Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”(AV)
38 “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him.(AW) 39 But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?”
40 They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.(AX)
Jesus Sentenced to Be Crucified(AY)
19 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.(AZ) 2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe 3 and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!”(BA) And they slapped him in the face.(BB)
4 Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews gathered there, “Look, I am bringing him out(BC) to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”(BD) 5 When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe,(BE) Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
6 As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!”
But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him.(BF) As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.”(BG)
7 The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die,(BH) because he claimed to be the Son of God.”(BI)
8 When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, 9 and he went back inside the palace.(BJ) “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer.(BK) 10 “Do you refuse to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?”
11 Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above.(BL) Therefore the one who handed me over to you(BM) is guilty of a greater sin.”
12 From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, “If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king(BN) opposes Caesar.”
13 When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge’s seat(BO) at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic(BP) is Gabbatha). 14 It was the day of Preparation(BQ) of the Passover; it was about noon.(BR)
“Here is your king,”(BS) Pilate said to the Jews.
15 But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!”
“Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked.
“We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.
16 Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified.(BT)
The Crucifixion of Jesus(BU)
So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. 17 Carrying his own cross,(BV) he went out to the place of the Skull(BW) (which in Aramaic(BX) is called Golgotha). 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others(BY)—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: jesus of nazareth,(BZ) the king of the jews.(CA) 20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city,(CB) and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. 21 The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews.”(CC)
22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
24 “Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.”
This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled(CD) that said,
So this is what the soldiers did.
25 Near the cross(CF) of Jesus stood his mother,(CG) his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.(CH) 26 When Jesus saw his mother(CI) there, and the disciple whom he loved(CJ) standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman,[c] here is your son,” 27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
The Death of Jesus(CK)
28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished,(CL) and so that Scripture would be fulfilled,(CM) Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of wine vinegar(CN) was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. 30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.”(CO) With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
31 Now it was the day of Preparation,(CP) and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses(CQ) during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. 32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other.(CR) 33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced(CS) Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.(CT) 35 The man who saw it(CU) has given testimony, and his testimony is true.(CV) He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. 36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled:(CW) “Not one of his bones will be broken,”[d](CX) 37 and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.”[e](CY)
The Burial of Jesus(CZ)
38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders.(DA) With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus,(DB) the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.[f] 40 Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen.(DC) This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.(DD) 41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. 42 Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation(DE) and since the tomb was nearby,(DF) they laid Jesus there.
The Empty Tomb(DG)
20 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene(DH) went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.(DI) 2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved,(DJ) and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”(DK)
3 So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.(DL) 4 Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent over and looked in(DM) at the strips of linen(DN) lying there but did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head.(DO) The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. 8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first,(DP) also went inside. He saw and believed. 9 (They still did not understand from Scripture(DQ) that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)(DR) 10 Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb(DS) 12 and saw two angels in white,(DT) seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”(DU)
“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”(DV) 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there,(DW) but she did not realize that it was Jesus.(DX)
15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?(DY) Who is it you are looking for?”
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic,(DZ) “Rabboni!”(EA) (which means “Teacher”).
17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers(EB) and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father(EC) and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18 Mary Magdalene(ED) went to the disciples(EE) with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders,(EF) Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace(EG) be with you!”(EH) 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side.(EI) The disciples were overjoyed(EJ) when they saw the Lord.
21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you!(EK) As the Father has sent me,(EL) I am sending you.”(EM) 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.(EN) 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”(EO)
Jesus Appears to Thomas
24 Now Thomas(EP) (also known as Didymus[g]), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side,(EQ) I will not believe.”(ER)
26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace(ES) be with you!”(ET) 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”(EU)
28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed;(EV) blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”(EW)
The Purpose of John’s Gospel
30 Jesus performed many other signs(EX) in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book.(EY)
