约翰福音 19
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
19 那时，彼拉多吩咐人把耶稣拉去鞭打。 2 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， 3 然后来到他面前，说：“犹太人的王万岁！”并且用手掌打他。 4 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。” 5 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！” 6 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。” 7 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。”
8 彼拉多听见这话，就更加害怕， 9 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。

Amplified Bible
The Crown of Thorns
19 So then Pilate took Jesus and had Him [a]scourged (flogged, whipped). 2 And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe around Him;(A) 3 and they kept coming up to Him, saying [mockingly], “Hail, King of the Jews [Good health! Peace! Long life to you, King of the Jews]!” And they slapped Him in the face.(B) 4 Then Pilate came out again and said to them, “Look, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that I find no guilt in Him [no crime, no cause for an accusation].” 5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, and Pilate said to them, “Look! The Man!” 6 When the chief priests and officers saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify [Him]! Crucify [Him]!” Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him [no crime, no cause for an accusation].”(C) 7 The Jews answered him, “We have a law [regarding blasphemy], and according to that law He should die, because He made Himself out to be the Son of God.”(D)
8 So when Pilate heard this said, he was [even] more [b]alarmed and afraid. 9 He went into the Praetorium again and said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus did not answer him.(E) 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, “You would have no authority over Me at all if it had not been given to you from above. For this reason the sin and guilt of the [c]one who handed Me over to you is greater [than your own].” 12 As a result of this, Pilate kept making efforts to release Him, but the Jews kept screaming, “[d]If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar! Anyone who makes himself out [to be] a king opposes Caesar [and rebels against the emperor]!”
13 When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called [e]The Pavement, but in [f]Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 Now it was the day of Preparation for the [g]Passover [week], and it was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Look, your King!” 15 But they shouted, “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 Then he handed Him over to them to be crucified.
17 So they took Jesus, and He went out, [h]bearing His own cross, to the place called [i]the Place of the Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.(F) 18 There they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.(G) 19 Pilate also wrote an inscription [on a placard] and put it on the cross. And it was written: “JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”(H) 20 And many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. 21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews’; but, ‘He said, “I am King of the Jews.”’” 22 Pilate replied, “What I have written I have written [and it remains written].”
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer clothes and made four parts, a part for each soldier, and also the tunic. But the [j]tunic was seamless, woven [in one piece] from the top throughout.(I) 24 So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it will be.” This was to fulfill the Scripture, “They divided My outer clothing among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.”(J) 25 So the soldiers did these things.
But standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, His mother’s sister [[k]Salome], [l]Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.(K) 26 So Jesus, seeing His mother, and the [m]disciple whom He loved (esteemed) standing near, said to His mother, “[Dear] woman, look, [here is] your son!” 27 Then He said to the disciple (John), “Look! [here is] your mother [protect and provide for her]!” From that hour the disciple took her into his own home.
28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said in fulfillment of the Scripture, “I am thirsty.”(L) 29 A jar full of [n]sour wine was placed there; so they put a sponge soaked in the sour wine on [a branch of] hyssop and held it to His mouth.(M) 30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and [voluntarily] [o]gave up His spirit.
Care of the Body of Jesus
31 Since it was the day of Preparation [for the Sabbath], in order to prevent the bodies from hanging on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high holy day) the Jews asked Pilate to have their legs [p]broken [to hasten death] and the bodies taken away. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man, and of the other who had been crucified with Him. 33 But when they came to Jesus and 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 blood and water came [flowing] out. 35 And he (John, the eyewitness) who has seen it has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also [who read this] may believe. 36 For these things took place to fulfill the Scripture, “Not a bone of His shall be broken.”(N) 37 And again another Scripture says, “They shall look at Him whom they have pierced.”(O)
38 And after this, Joseph of Arimathea—a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews—asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away His body.(P) 39 Nicodemus, who had first come to Him at night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, [weighing] about a hundred [Roman] [q]pounds. 40 So they took Jesus’ body and bound it in linen wrappings with the fragrant spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now there was a garden at the place where He was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb [cut out of solid rock] in which no one had yet been laid. 42 Therefore, because of the Jewish day of Preparation, and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
Footnotes
- John 19:1 Because Pilate viewed Jesus as innocent, he may have ordered the beating expecting that the Jews would consider it adequate punishment and consent to Jesus’ release. Scourging was a horrific, brutal form of punishment. The glass and metal of the whip tore the body apart, exposing the vital organs. Men frequently died of the scourging.
- John 19:8 As a Roman pagan, Pilate would have been superstitious and may have feared that Jesus actually had some sort of magical or divine power.
- John 19:11 This may refer to Judas Iscariot, but Caiaphas may be the more likely one since he was directly responsible for Jesus’ going before Pilate.
- John 19:12 This put political pressure on Pilate. The Jews indicated if Pilate released Jesus they would inform Rome and Pilate’s career would be in jeopardy.
- John 19:13 Gr The Lithostrotos, i.e. the Mosaic Pavement, the Stone Platform.
- John 19:13 I.e. Jewish Aramaic.
- John 19:14 See note 18:28.
- John 19:17 The vertical post remained permanently in the ground. Jesus carried the cross beam.
- John 19:17 Latin: Calvarius or Calvary; Aram: Golgotha; Greek: Kranion.
- John 19:23 Gr khiton, the long shirtlike undergarment worn next to the skin.
- John 19:25 The mother of the apostles John and James, the sons of Zebedee.
- John 19:25 The mother of James the Younger (also called James the Less). Believed to be a sister or sister-in-law of Jesus’ mother.
- John 19:26 John, the Apostle and author of this Gospel was Jesus’ cousin.
- John 19:29 This sour wine was not to dull the senses, but to provide minimal relief to the victim. The wine mixed with gall (myrrh) that Jesus earlier had refused to drink (Matt 27:34; Mark 15:23) had narcotic qualities to deaden the pain.
- John 19:30 This wording implies that Jesus voluntarily and sovereignly released His spirit from His body in submission to God’s plan.
- John 19:31 After the legs were broken with a heavy blow, the condemned prisoner could no longer push upwards to assist his own breathing and would soon suffocate due to the awkward position that was forced on him by crucifixion. At the same time, breaking the legs was more painful than a quicker end with the point of a spear.
- John 19:39 Lit litras, equal to 12 oz each.
