Pilatus wil Jezus eigenlijk vrijlaten

19 Toen nam Pilatus Jezus mee en liet Hem zweepslagen geven. En de soldaten vlochten een kroon van doorntakken en zetten die op zijn hoofd. Ook deden ze Hem een paarse mantel om. Ze liepen naar Hem toe en zeiden: "Wij groeten U, koning van de Joden!" En ze sloegen Hem in zijn gezicht.

Pilatus kwam weer naar buiten en zei tegen de mensen: "Jullie mogen Hem weer hebben, want volgens mij heeft Hij helemaal geen kwaad gedaan." Toen werd Jezus naar buiten gebracht met de doornenkroon op en de paarse mantel om. Pilatus zei: "Zie die mens eens!" Toen de leiders van de priesters en hun dienaren Hem zagen, begonnen ze te schreeuwen: "Kruisig Hem! Kruisig Hem!" Pilatus zei tegen hen: "Neem Hem dan mee en kruisig Hem zelf. Want ik vind dat Hij onschuldig is." De Joden antwoordden hem: "Volgens onze wetten moet Hij worden gedood, want Hij beweert dat Hij Gods Zoon is."

Toen Pilatus dat hoorde, werd hij nog banger. Hij ging het gerechtsgebouw weer binnen en zei tegen Jezus: "Waar kom Je vandaan?" Maar Jezus gaf geen antwoord. 10 Pilatus zei tegen Hem: "Zeg Je niets tegen mij? Weet Je dan niet dat ik de macht heb om Je te laten kruisigen, maar ook de macht heb om Je vrij te laten?" 11 Jezus antwoordde: "U heeft die macht alleen omdat u die van boven heeft gekregen. Daarom heeft de man die Mij heeft verraden, een grotere schuld dan u." 12 Vanaf dat moment probeerde Pilatus Hem vrij te laten. Maar de Joden schreeuwden: "Als u deze Man vrijlaat, bent u geen vriend van de keizer in Rome. Iemand die beweert dat hij koning is, is een vijand van de keizer en moet gedood worden."

13 Toen Pilatus dit hoorde, liet hij Jezus naar buiten brengen. Hij ging op de stoel voor de rechtspraak zitten, op de stenen verhoging die 'Litostrotos' (= ‘stenen hoogte') wordt genoemd (in het Hebreeuws is dat 'Gabbata'). 14 Het was de dag van de voorbereiding op het Paasfeest, ongeveer twaalf uur 's middags. Hij zei tegen de Joden: "Kijk, hier is jullie koning!" 15 Maar ze schreeuwden: "Weg met Hem! Weg met Hem! Kruisig Hem!" Pilatus zei tegen hen: "Moet ik jullie koning dan kruisigen?" De leiders van de priesters antwoordden: "We hebben geen koning! We hebben alleen de keizer!" 16 Toen gaf hij Hem aan de soldaten om Hem te kruisigen. Zij namen Jezus mee.

Jezus aan het kruis

17 Ze gingen naar de plaats die 'Schedelplaats' heet. In het Hebreeuws is dat 'Golgota'. Jezus moest Zelf het kruis dragen. 18 Daar kruisigden ze Hem. Links en rechts van Hem kruisigden ze nog twee andere mannen. Zo hing Jezus in het midden. 19 Pilatus liet een bord maken en op het kruis vastmaken. Daarop stond: 'Jezus van Nazaret, de koning van de Joden.' 20 Veel Joden lazen dit bord, want de plaats waar Jezus werd gekruisigd is vlak bij de stad. Het stond er in het Hebreeuws, het Latijn en het Grieks op. 21 Toen zeiden de leiders van de Joodse priesters tegen Pilatus: "U moet niet schrijven: 'De koning van de Joden,' maar dat Hij gezégd heeft: 'Ik ben de koning van de Joden.' 22 Pilatus antwoordde: "Wat ik heb geschreven, verander ik niet meer."

23 Toen de soldaten Jezus hadden gekruisigd, verdeelden ze zijn kleren. Elk van de vier soldaten kreeg een deel. Zijn onderkleed bleef over. Dat was uit één stuk geweven, zonder naad. 24 Ze zeiden tegen elkaar: "Het is zonde om dit onderkleed in stukken te scheuren. Laten we er om loten wie het hebben mag." Zo deden de soldaten wat er in de Psalmen van tevoren was gezegd: 'Ze hebben mijn kleren verdeeld en verloot.'

25 De moeder van Jezus, haar zus Maria (de vrouw van Klopas) en Maria Magdalena stonden ook bij het kruis. 26 Jezus zag zijn moeder staan. Zijn beste vriend stond naast haar. Toen zei Hij tegen zijn moeder: "Kijk, hij is voortaan je zoon." 27 En tegen de leerling zei Hij: "Kijk, zij is voortaan je moeder." Vanaf dat moment nam die leerling haar bij zich in huis.

Jezus sterft

28 Hierna zei Jezus, omdat Hij wist dat Hij nu alles had gedaan wat Hij moest doen: "Ik heb dorst!" Zo gebeurde wat van tevoren in de Boeken was gezegd. 29 Er stond een kruik met zure wijn. Ze doopten daar een spons in en staken die op een stok. Zo kon Hij van de spons drinken. 30 Toen Jezus van de zure wijn had gedronken, zei Hij: "Alles is gedaan!" En Hij boog zijn hoofd en stierf.

31 De Joden wilden niet dat de mannen op de heilige rustdag aan het kruis zouden blijven hangen. (Het was namelijk een bijzondere heilige rustdag, omdat hij in de week van het Feest van de Ongegiste Broden viel.) Daarom vroegen ze aan Pilatus om de benen van de mannen te laten breken en ze dan van het kruis te laten halen. Want het was nu de dag van de voorbereiding.[a] 32 Toen kwamen de soldaten en braken de benen van de twee mannen die tegelijk met Jezus waren gekruisigd. 33 Maar toen ze bij Jezus kwamen, zagen ze dat Hij al was gestorven. Daarom braken ze zijn benen niet. 34 Maar één van de soldaten stak voor de zekerheid zijn speer in Jezus' zij. Onmiddellijk kwam er water en bloed uit. 35 Ik, Johannes, heb dat zelf gezien. Daarom heb ik het jullie verteld, en ik hoop dat jullie het ook geloven. Want het is echt waar. 36 Dit is gebeurd zodat werkelijkheid zou worden wat in de Boeken van tevoren al is gezegd: 'Geen één van zijn botten zal worden gebroken.' 37 En ergens anders staat in de Boeken: 'Ze zullen kijken naar de Man die ze hebben doorstoken.'

Jezus' begrafenis

38 Jozef, een man uit Arimatea, ging aan Pilatus vragen of hij het lichaam van Jezus mocht begraven. (Hij was ook een leerling van Jezus. Maar hij hield dat geheim, omdat hij bang was voor de Joodse leiders.) Pilatus vond het goed en Jozef nam het lichaam mee. 39 Nikodemus kwam ook. Hij was de man die de eerste keer 's nachts bij Jezus was gekomen.[b] Hij bracht 100 ponden (30 kilo) mirre[c] en aloë mee. 40 Ze dompelden linnen doeken in dat mengsel en wikkelden Jezus' lichaam daarin. Dat is namelijk de Joodse manier van een lichaam voorbereiden op de begrafenis. 41 Dicht bij de plaats waar Hij was gekruisigd, was een tuin. In die tuin was een nieuw graf in de rots uitgehakt. Er was nog nooit iemand in begraven. 42 Daar legden ze Jezus in, want de dag van voorbereiding was bijna voorbij[d] en het graf was dichtbij.

19 於是彼拉多命人鞭打耶穌。 士兵用荊棘編成冠冕戴在祂頭上,又拿紫袍給祂穿上, 來到祂面前說:「猶太人的王萬歲!」然後又用手掌打祂。

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。」 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!」

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。」

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。」

彼拉多聽了這話,更加害怕, 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。

19 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.

Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.

The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;

And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?

11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.

17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

18 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was Jesus Of Nazareth The King Of The Jews.

20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.

30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.

33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.

39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.

40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.

42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

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.
