19 于是彼拉多命人鞭打耶稣。 士兵用荆棘编成冠冕戴在祂头上,又拿紫袍给祂穿上, 来到祂面前说:“犹太人的王万岁!”然后又用手掌打祂。

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。” 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!”

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。”

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。”

彼拉多听了这话,更加害怕, 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。

Jesús condenado a muerte (Mt 27,30-31; Mc 15,12-20; Lc 23,20-25)

19 Así pues, Pilato se hizo cargo del asunto y mandó que azotaran a Jesús. Los soldados trenzaron una corona de espinas y se la pusieron en la cabeza. Le echaron también sobre los hombros un manto de púrpura y, acercándose a él, decían:

— ¡Viva el rey de los judíos!

Y le daban bofetadas. Salió de nuevo Pilato y les dijo:

— Mirad, os lo voy a presentar para dejar claro que no encuentro delito alguno en él.

Salió, pues, Jesús llevando la corona de espinas y el manto de púrpura. Pilato les dijo:

— ¡Este es el hombre!

Al ver a Jesús, los jefes de los sacerdotes y sus esbirros comenzaron a gritar:

— ¡Crucifícalo! ¡Crucifícalo!

Pilato insistió:

— Tomadlo vosotros y crucificadlo; yo no encuentro delito alguno en él.

Los judíos replicaron:

— Nosotros tenemos una ley, y según ella debe morir, porque ha querido hacerse pasar por Hijo de Dios.

Al oír esto, Pilato sintió aún más temor. Entró de nuevo en el palacio y preguntó a Jesús:

— ¿De dónde eres tú?

Jesús ni siquiera le contestó. 10 Pilato le dijo:

— ¿Cómo? ¿Te niegas a contestarme? ¿Es que no sabes que tengo autoridad tanto para dejarte en libertad como para hacerte crucificar?

11 Jesús le respondió:

— No tendrías autoridad alguna sobre mí si Dios no te la hubiera concedido; por eso, el que me ha entregado a ti es mucho más culpable que tú.

12 Desde ese momento, Pilato intentaba por todos los medios poner a Jesús en libertad. Pero los judíos le gritaban:

— Si lo pones en libertad, no eres amigo del emperador. El que pretende ser rey se enfrenta al emperador.

13 Al oír esto, Pilato mandó sacar fuera a Jesús y se sentó en el tribunal, en el lugar conocido con el nombre de “Enlosado”, que en la lengua de los judíos se llama “Gábata”. 14 Era el día de preparación de la Pascua, hacia el mediodía. Pilato dijo a los judíos:

— ¡Aquí tenéis a vuestro rey!

15 Pero ellos comenzaron a gritar:

— ¡Quítalo de en medio! ¡Crucifícalo!

Pilato insistió:

— ¿Cómo voy a crucificar a vuestro rey?

Pero los jefes de los sacerdotes replicaron:

— Nuestro único rey es el emperador romano.

16 Así que, al fin, Pilato se lo entregó para que lo crucificaran.

Crucifixión de Jesús (Mt 27,32-44; Mc 15,21-32; Lc 23,26-43)

Tomaron, pues, a Jesús 17 que, cargando con su propia cruz, se encaminó hacia el llamado “lugar de la Calavera” (que en la lengua de los judíos se conoce como “Gólgota”). 18 Allí lo crucificaron, y con él crucificaron también a otros dos, uno a cada lado y Jesús en medio.

19 Pilato mandó poner sobre la cruz un letrero con esta inscripción: “Jesús de Nazaret, el rey de los judíos.” 20 La inscripción fue leída por muchos judíos, porque el lugar donde Jesús había sido crucificado estaba cerca de la ciudad. Además, el texto estaba escrito en hebreo, latín y griego. 21 Así que los jefes de los sacerdotes se presentaron a Pilato y le dijeron:

— No pongas: “El rey de los judíos” sino: “Este hombre dijo: Yo soy el rey de los judíos”.

22 Pero Pilato les contestó:

— Que quede escrito lo que yo mandé escribir.

23 Los soldados, una vez que terminaron de crucificar a Jesús, tomaron sus ropas e hicieron con ellas cuatro lotes, uno para cada soldado. Se quedaron también con la túnica, pero como era una túnica sin costuras, tejida de una sola pieza de arriba a abajo, 24 llegaron a este acuerdo:

— No debemos partirla; lo que procede es sortearla para ver a quién le toca.

Así se cumplió el pasaje de la Escritura que dice: Dividieron entre ellos mis ropas y echaron a suertes mi túnica.

Esto fue lo que hicieron los soldados.

La madre de Jesús y el discípulo amado

25 Junto a la cruz de Jesús estaban su madre, María la mujer de Cleofás, que era hermana de su madre, y María Magdalena. 26 Jesús, al ver a su madre y, junto a ella, al discípulo a quien tanto quería, dijo a su madre:

— Mujer, ahí tienes a tu hijo.

27 Después dijo al discípulo:

— Ahí tienes a tu madre.

Y desde aquel momento, el discípulo la acogió en su casa.

Muerte de Jesús (Mt 27,48-50; Mc 15, 36-37; Lc 23,46)

28 Después de esto, plenamente consciente de que todo había llegado a su fin, para que se cumpliese la Escritura, Jesús exclamó:

Tengo sed.

29 Empaparon una esponja en vinagre, la colocaron en la punta de una caña de hisopo y se la acercaron a la boca. 30 Jesús probó el vinagre y dijo:

— Todo está cumplido.

Inclinó, entonces, la cabeza y expiró.

La lanzada en el costado

31 Era el día de preparación y los judíos no querían que los cuerpos de los ajusticiados quedaran en la cruz aquel sábado, porque en él se celebraba una fiesta muy solemne. Por eso, pidieron a Pilato que ordenase quebrar las piernas de los crucificados y retirarlos de allí. 32 Fueron los soldados y quebraron las piernas de los dos que habían sido crucificados con Jesús. 33 Pero cuando se acercaron a Jesús, al comprobar que ya había muerto, no le quebraron las piernas, 34 sino que uno de los soldados le abrió el costado de una lanzada, y al punto brotó de él sangre y agua. 35 El que lo vio da testimonio de ello y su testimonio es verdadero y está seguro de que habla con verdad para que también vosotros creáis. 36 Porque todo esto ocurrió para que se cumpliese la Escritura que dice: No le quebrarán ningún hueso. 37 Y también la otra Escritura que dice: Mirarán al que traspasaron.

Sepultura de Jesús (Mt 27,57-61; Mc 15,42-47; Lc 23,50-56)

38 Después de esto, José de Arimatea, que era discípulo de Jesús, aunque lo mantenía en secreto por miedo a los judíos, solicitó de Pilato el permiso para hacerse cargo del cuerpo de Jesús. Pilato se lo concedió, y él se hizo cargo del cuerpo. 39 También vino Nicodemo, el que con anterioridad había ido de noche a entrevistarse con Jesús, trayendo unas cien libras de una mezcla de mirra y áloe. 40 Entre ambos se llevaron el cuerpo de Jesús y lo envolvieron con vendas de lino bien empapadas en los aromas, según acostumbraban hacer los judíos para sepultar a sus muertos.

41 Cerca del lugar donde Jesús fue crucificado había un huerto, y en el huerto, un sepulcro nuevo en el que nadie había sido sepultado. 42 Y como el sepulcro estaba cerca y era para los judíos el día de preparación, depositaron allí el cuerpo de Jesús.

Jesus Flogged and Rejected as King

19 Pilate then took Jesus and [a](A)flogged Him. (B)And when the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and put a purple [b]robe on Him; and they were coming to Him and saying, “(C)Hail, King of the Jews!” and were (D)giving Him slaps in the face. And Pilate (E)came out again and *said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that (F)I find no guilt in Him.” Jesus then came out, (G)wearing the crown of thorns and the purple [c]robe. Pilate *said to them, “Behold, the man!” So when the chief priests and the (H)officers saw Him, they cried out saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate *said to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for (I)I find no guilt in Him.” The Jews answered him, “(J)We have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He (K)made Himself out to be the Son of God.”

Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he became more afraid; and he (L)entered into the [d]Praetorium again and *said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But (M)Jesus gave him no answer. 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, (N)You would have no authority [e]over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason (O)he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.” 12 As a result of this Pilate kept seeking to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, “(P)If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself to be a king [f]opposes Caesar.”

13 Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and (Q)sat down on the judgment seat at a place called [g]The Stone Pavement, but (R)in [h]Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 Now it was (S)the day of [i]Preparation for the Passover; it was about the [j](T)sixth hour. And he *said to the Jews, “Behold, (U)your King!” 15 So they cried out, “(V)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 So he then (W)delivered Him over to them to be crucified.

17 (X)They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, [k](Y)bearing His own cross, to the place called (Z)the Place of a Skull, which is called (AA)in [l]Hebrew, Golgotha. 18 There they crucified Him, and with Him (AB)two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between. 19 And Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, “(AC)JESUS THE NAZARENE, (AD)THE KING OF THE JEWS.” 20 Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written (AE)in [m]Hebrew, Latin, and in Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘(AF)The King of the Jews;’ but that He said, ‘I am (AG)King of the Jews.’” 22 Pilate answered, “(AH)What I have written I have written.”

23 Then (AI)the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made (AJ)four parts, a part to each soldier and also His [n]tunic; now that tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top. 24 So they said to one another, “(AK)Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be;” (AL)this was in order that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “They (AM)divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast [o]lots.” 25 Therefore the soldiers did these things.

(AN)But standing by the cross of Jesus were (AO)His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and (AP)Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus then saw His mother, and (AQ)the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He *said to His mother, (AR)Woman, behold, your son!” 27 Then He *said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour the disciple took her into (AS)his home.

Scripture Fulfilled—It Is Finished

28 After this, Jesus, (AT)knowing that all things had already been finished, (AU)in order [p]to finish the Scripture, *said, (AV)I am thirsty.” 29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so (AW)they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth. 30 Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, (AX)It is finished!” And bowing His head, He (AY)gave up His spirit.

31 Then the Jews, because it was (AZ)the day of Preparation, so that (BA)the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath ([q]for that Sabbath was a (BB)high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was (BC)crucified with Him; 33 but coming to Jesus, when they 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 (BD)blood and water came out. 35 And he who has seen has (BE)borne witness, and his witness is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe. 36 For these things came to pass (BF)in order that the Scripture would be fulfilled, “(BG)Not a bone of Him shall be [r]broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, “(BH)They shall look on Him whom they pierced.”

Jesus Is Buried

38 (BI)Now after these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but (BJ)secretly because of his (BK)fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body. 39 (BL)And Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, (BM)bringing a [s]mixture of (BN)myrrh and aloes, weighing about [t]one (BO)hundred litras. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and (BP)bound it in (BQ)linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a (BR)new tomb (BS)in which no one had yet been laid. 42 Therefore because of the Jewish day of (BT)Preparation, since the tomb was (BU)nearby, they laid Jesus there.

Jesus Sentenced to Be Crucified(A)

19 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.(B) The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!”(C) And they slapped him in the face.(D)

Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews gathered there, “Look, I am bringing him out(E) to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”(F) When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe,(G) Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”

As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!”

But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him.(H) As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.”(I)

The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die,(J) because he claimed to be the Son of God.”(K)

When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, and he went back inside the palace.(L) “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer.(M) 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.(N) Therefore the one who handed me over to you(O) 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(P) opposes Caesar.”

13 When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge’s seat(Q) at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic(R) is Gabbatha). 14 It was the day of Preparation(S) of the Passover; it was about noon.(T)

“Here is your king,”(U) 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.(V)

The Crucifixion of Jesus(W)

So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. 17 Carrying his own cross,(X) he went out to the place of the Skull(Y) (which in Aramaic(Z) is called Golgotha). 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others(AA)—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,(AB) the king of the jews.(AC) 20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city,(AD) 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.”(AE)

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(AF) that said,

“They divided my clothes among them
    and cast lots for my garment.”[a](AG)

So this is what the soldiers did.

25 Near the cross(AH) of Jesus stood his mother,(AI) his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.(AJ) 26 When Jesus saw his mother(AK) there, and the disciple whom he loved(AL) standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman,[b] 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(AM)

28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished,(AN) and so that Scripture would be fulfilled,(AO) Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of wine vinegar(AP) 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.”(AQ) With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

31 Now it was the day of Preparation,(AR) and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses(AS) 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.(AT) 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(AU) Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.(AV) 35 The man who saw it(AW) has given testimony, and his testimony is true.(AX) 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:(AY) “Not one of his bones will be broken,”[c](AZ) 37 and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.”[d](BA)

The Burial of Jesus(BB)

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.(BC) With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus,(BD) the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.[e] 40 Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen.(BE) This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.(BF) 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(BG) and since the tomb was nearby,(BH) they laid Jesus there.
