犹大出卖耶稣
22 除酵节，又名逾越节，快到了。 2 祭司长和律法教师因为害怕百姓，便密谋如何杀害耶稣。 3 这时，撒旦进入加略人犹大的心，这人原是十二使徒之一。 4 他去见祭司长和圣殿护卫长，商议如何把耶稣出卖给他们， 5 他们喜出望外，答应给犹大一笔酬金。 6 犹大同意了，便伺机找百姓不在的场合将耶稣交给他们。
最后的晚餐
7 除酵节到了，那天要宰杀逾越羊羔。 8 耶稣差派彼得和约翰出去，说：“你们为我们准备逾越节吃的晚餐。”
9 他们问：“你要我们到哪里去预备呢？”
10 耶稣回答说：“你们进城的时候，一个男子会扛着一瓶水迎面走来，你们要跟着他，他进哪所房子，你们也进去， 11 对房子的主人说，‘老师问你客房在哪里，祂要和门徒在里面吃逾越节的晚餐。’ 12 那主人会带你们到楼上一间布置整齐的大房间，你们就在那里预备吧。”
13 他们进了城，所遇见的果然和耶稣所说的一样。他们便在那里预备逾越节的晚餐。
设立圣餐
14 晚餐时，耶稣和使徒们一同坐席。 15 耶稣对他们说：“我一直盼望在受难之前和你们同吃这个逾越节的宴席。 16 我告诉你们，在这宴席成就在上帝的国度之前，我不会再吃这宴席了。”
17 祂接过杯来，祝谢后，说：“你们拿去分着喝吧。 18 我告诉你们，在上帝的国降临之前，我不会再喝这葡萄酒了。”
19 接着，祂拿起饼来，祝谢后，掰开递给他们，说：“这是我为你们牺牲的身体，你们今后也要这样做，以纪念我。”
20 饭后，祂又举起杯来，说：“这杯是用我的血立的新约，这血是为你们流的。
21 “但是看啊，那出卖我之人的手和我的手都在桌子上。 22 按照所定的，人子要死去，但那出卖人子的人有祸了！” 23 他们开始彼此追问谁会出卖耶稣。
谁最伟大
24 门徒又开始争论他们当中谁最伟大。 25 耶稣对他们说：“外族人有君王统治他们，那些统治者被称为恩主， 26 但你们不可这样。相反，你们中间地位最高的，要像最卑微的；做首领的，要像服侍人的。 27 坐着吃饭的和伺候的哪个地位高呢？难道不是坐着的那个吗？然而，我在你们当中是服侍人的。
28 “在我患难之时，你们一直在我身边， 29 所以，我父怎样将国赐给我，我也照样将国赐给你们， 30 使你们在我的国中和我一同坐席，并且坐在宝座上审判以色列的十二个支派。”
预言彼得不认主
31 耶稣说：“西门！西门！撒旦已经要求像筛麦子一样筛你们， 32 但我已经为你祷告了，叫你不至于失去信心。你回头以后，要让你的弟兄刚强。”
33 西门·彼得说：“主啊，我愿意和你一起坐牢，一起受死！”
34 耶稣说：“彼得，我告诉你，明早鸡叫之前，你会三次不认我。”
35 耶稣又问门徒：“我派你们出去的时候，无钱袋、背包和鞋子，你们有任何缺乏吗？”
他们答道：“没有。”
36 耶稣说：“但现在如果有钱袋或背包，都要带着；如果没有刀剑，要卖掉衣服买刀剑。 37 我告诉你们，‘祂要被列在罪犯中’这句经文必在我身上应验，因为圣经上有关我的事情快要实现了。”
38 他们说：“主啊，请看，这里有两把刀。”耶稣说：“够了。”
橄榄山上的祷告
39 耶稣离开，像往常一样前往橄榄山，门徒也跟去了。 40 到了山上，祂对门徒说：“你们要祷告，以免陷入诱惑！”
41 然后，祂独自走到离门徒约有扔一块石头那么远的地方跪下祷告： 42 “父啊，若你愿意，求你撤去此杯。然而，愿你的旨意成就，而非我的意愿。” 43 有一位从天上来的天使向祂显现，给祂加添力量。
44 祂心中极其悲痛，祷告更恳切，汗珠如血滴在地上。
45 祂祷告完后，便起身回到门徒那里，看见他们因忧愁而疲惫地睡着了， 46 就说：“你们为什么睡觉呢？要起来祷告，以免陷入诱惑！”
耶稣被捕
47 耶稣还在说话的时候，十二使徒中的犹大已带着一群人赶到，他上前亲吻耶稣。 48 耶稣对他说：“犹大，你用亲吻的暗号来出卖人子吗？”
49 跟随耶稣的人见他们来势汹汹，就说：“主啊，我们该拔刀抵抗吗？” 50 其中一人拔刀朝大祭司的奴仆砍过去，削掉了他的右耳。
51 耶稣却说：“住手！够了！”于是祂摸那奴仆的耳朵，治好了他， 52 然后对前来抓祂的祭司长、圣殿护卫长和长老说：“你们像对付强盗一样拿着刀棍来抓我吗？ 53 我天天和你们一起在圣殿里，你们没有抓我。但现在正是黑暗当权、你们得势的时候了！”
彼得不认主
54 他们把耶稣押到大祭司的府第。彼得远远地跟在后面。
55 他们在庭院当中生起了火，围坐取暖，彼得也坐在他们中间。 56 有个婢女看见彼得坐在火堆边，打量他一番后，说：“这人是与耶稣一伙的！”
57 彼得却否认说：“你这女子，我不认识祂。”
58 过了一会儿，又有个人看见了彼得，就说：“你也是跟他们一伙的！”
彼得说：“你这人，我不是！”
59 大约一小时之后，又有人指着彼得肯定地说：“这人确实是和耶稣一伙的，因为他也是加利利人。”
60 彼得说：“你这人，我不知道你在说什么！”话才出口，鸡就叫了。
61 这时，主转过头来望着彼得，彼得想起主对他说的话：“明早鸡叫之前，你会三次不认我。” 62 他就到外面，痛哭起来。
在公会受审
63 看守耶稣的人嘲弄祂，殴打祂， 64 蒙住祂的眼睛，对祂说：“说预言吧！是谁在打你？” 65 还说了许多侮辱祂的话。
66 天亮后，民间的长老、祭司长和律法教师聚在一起，把耶稣押到他们的公会， 67 对祂说：“如果你是基督，就告诉我们。”
耶稣说：“即使我告诉你们，你们也不会相信。 68 如果我问你们，你们也不会回答。 69 但从今以后，人子要坐在全能上帝的右边。”
70 他们都问：“那么，你是上帝的儿子吗？”耶稣回答说：“你们说我是。”
71 他们说：“我们还需要什么见证呢？我们已经听见祂自己说的了。”
在彼拉多面前受审
23 于是，众人动身把耶稣押到彼拉多那里， 2 指控祂说：“这人蛊惑民心，禁止百姓向凯撒纳税，又说自己是基督，是君王。”
3 彼拉多问耶稣：“你是犹太人的王吗？”
耶稣回答说：“如你所言。”
4 彼拉多转过身来，对祭司长和百姓宣布：“我查不出这人有什么罪。” 5 但他们坚持说：“这个人从加利利开始一直到这里，在犹太地区四处传道，煽动民心。”
6 彼拉多听后，问道：“祂是加利利人吗？” 7 他得知耶稣来自分封王希律的辖区后，便把耶稣送交希律，希律刚巧在耶路撒冷。
在希律面前受辱
8 希律见到耶稣，十分高兴，因为他听过耶稣的事，早就想见祂，希望看祂行神迹。 9 他问了耶稣许多问题，耶稣却一言不发。 10 祭司长和律法教师站在那里极力地指控耶稣。
11 希律和他的卫兵嘲弄侮辱耶稣，给祂穿上华丽的袍子，把祂押回彼拉多那里。 12 希律和彼拉多向来互相敌视，但在那一天竟化敌为友。
无辜被判死罪
13 彼拉多召来祭司长、官长和百姓， 14 对他们说：“你们带这个人来，指控祂煽动百姓造反，我当着你们的面审问了祂，却查不出祂有任何你们指控祂的罪。 15 希律也查不出祂有什么罪，所以把祂送回来了。可见，这人并没有犯什么该死的罪。 16 因此，我要惩戒祂，然后释放祂。” 17 每逢逾越节，总督总是按惯例给他们释放一个囚犯。[a]
18 这时，众人齐声呼喊：“杀掉祂！释放巴拉巴！” 19 巴拉巴是因在城里叛乱杀人而被下在监里的。
20 彼拉多想释放耶稣，便劝解他们。 21 但他们一直喊：“把祂钉在十字架上！把祂钉在十字架上！”
22 彼拉多第三次问百姓：“为什么？祂犯了什么罪？我找不出该处死祂的罪证。因此，我要惩戒祂，然后释放祂。”
23 众人却继续大声喊叫，执意要求把耶稣钉在十字架上。最后，他们的声势占了上风。 24 于是，彼拉多依照他们的要求， 25 释放了叛乱杀人的囚犯巴拉巴，并把耶稣交给他们任意处置。
钉十字架
26 他们带耶稣出去的时候，抓住从乡下来的古利奈人西门，让他背着十字架跟在耶稣后面。
27 有一大群人跟在耶稣后面，其中有不少妇女为耶稣伤心痛哭。 28 耶稣转过身来，对她们说：“耶路撒冷的女儿啊，不要为我哭，为你们自己和你们的儿女哭吧！ 29 因为日子快到了，人们将说，‘不曾生育、不曾怀孕、不曾哺乳的女子有福了！’ 30 到时候，人们会向大山说，‘倒在我们身上吧！’又会对小山说，‘遮盖我们吧！’ 31 树木青葱的时候，他们尚且做这些事，树木枯干的时候，又会怎样呢？[b]”
32 当时有两个罪犯和耶稣一同被押去受刑。 33 他们到了一个叫“髑髅”的地方，便把耶稣钉在十字架上，又将两个罪犯分别钉在祂左右两边。
34 耶稣祷告说：“父啊，赦免他们！因为他们不知道自己在做什么。”士兵抽签分了耶稣的衣裳。
35 百姓站着观看，官长嘲笑耶稣说：“祂救了别人，如果祂是上帝所选立的基督，让祂救自己吧！”
36 士兵们也戏弄祂，拿了些酸酒上前给祂喝， 37 又说：“如果你是犹太人的王，救救自己呀！”
38 耶稣上方有一块牌子，上面写着：“这是犹太人的王”。
39 跟耶稣同钉十字架的一个罪犯也讥笑耶稣，说：“你不是基督吗？救你自己和我们呀！”
40 另一个罪犯却责备他说：“你同样是受刑的，难道不怕上帝吗？ 41 我们是罪有应得，但这个人没有犯过罪。” 42 他随即恳求耶稣：“耶稣啊，当你来执掌王权的时候，请你记得我。”
43 耶稣对他说：“我实在告诉你，今天你要和我一起在乐园里了。”
耶稣之死
44 那时大约是正午，黑暗笼罩着整个大地，一直到下午三点， 45 太阳黯然无光。忽然挂在圣殿里的幔子从中间裂成两半。 46 耶稣大声喊着说：“父啊，我将我的灵魂交在你手中。”说完，就断气了。
47 百夫长见此情形，便赞美上帝，说：“这人的确是个义人。”
48 围观的人见状，无不捶胸顿足黯然离去。 49 耶稣熟识的人和从加利利跟着祂来的妇女们都站在远处观看。
耶稣的安葬
50 有一位名叫约瑟的公会议员心地善良、为人正直， 51 住在犹太地区的亚利马太城，一直在等候上帝国的降临。他并不苟同公会的决定。 52 他去求见彼拉多，要求领取耶稣的遗体。 53 他把耶稣的遗体从十字架上取下来，用细麻布裹好，然后安放在一个从岩壁上凿出的新墓穴里。 54 当天是预备日，安息日快到了。
55 和耶稣一起从加利利来的妇女跟在约瑟后面，看到了耶稣的坟墓，并且看到祂的遗体被安放好之后， 56 便回家去预备香料和膏油。安息日到了，她们按律法的规定休息了一天。
耶稣死里复活
24 周日黎明时分，几位妇女带着预备好的香料来到坟前， 2 发现墓口的大石头已经滚到旁边， 3 便进去，却没有看见主耶稣的遗体。 4 正在猜疑之间，突然有两个衣服发光的人站在旁边， 5 她们吓得俯伏在地。那两个人对她们说：“你们为什么在死人中找活人呢？ 6 祂不在这里，已经复活了！记住祂在加利利对你们说的话， 7 ‘人子必须被交在罪人的手中，被钉在十字架上，在第三天复活。’”
8 她们想起耶稣的话来， 9 便离开墓地回去把事情的经过告诉十一个使徒和其他人。 10 这些妇女就是抹大拉的玛丽亚、约亚娜、雅各的母亲玛丽亚及其他人。
11 大家听了都不相信，认为是无稽之谈。 12 彼得却起身跑到墓地，屈身往墓里张望，只见细麻布在那里，他便离开了，对发生的事大惑不解。
耶稣的显现
13 同一天，有两个门徒前往离耶路撒冷十一公里的以马忤斯村， 14 一路谈论着最近发生的一切事。 15 正谈论的时候，耶稣走过来和他们同行。 16 可是，他们认不出耶稣。
17 耶稣问他们：“你们一路上在谈论什么？”
他们停下脚步，满面愁容， 18 其中一个叫革流巴的说：“难道在耶路撒冷作客的人中，只有你不知道近日发生的大事吗？”
19 耶稣问：“什么事？”
他们说：“就是拿撒勒人耶稣的事。祂本来是个先知，在上帝和百姓面前言谈举止充满力量。 20 我们的祭司长和官长却把祂押去判了死刑，钉在十字架上。
21 “我们一直希望祂就是要拯救以色列的那位。还有，今天是事发后的第三天， 22 我们当中有几位妇女一早到耶稣的坟墓， 23 发现耶稣的遗体不见了，回来说天使曾向她们显现并告诉她们耶稣已经复活了。
24 “后来我们有几个人亲自去坟墓察看，果然像她们所说的，耶稣的遗体不见了。”
25 耶稣对他们说：“无知的人啊！为什么迟迟不肯相信先知的话呢？ 26 基督岂不是要先这样受害，然后进入祂的荣耀吗？”
27 耶稣接着从摩西和众先知的记载开始，把有关自己的经文都向他们讲解明白。
28 快到以马忤斯村时，耶稣好像还要继续前行。 29 他们极力挽留祂，说：“天快黑了，时候不早了，跟我们一同住宿吧。”耶稣就和他们一起进村住下。
30 吃饭的时候，耶稣拿起饼来，祝谢后，掰开递给他们。 31 忽然他们眼睛明亮了，认出是耶稣。耶稣很快从他们眼前消失了。
32 二人彼此议论说：“一路上祂和我们说话、为我们解释圣经的时候，我们心里不是很火热吗？” 33 二人马上赶回耶路撒冷，看到十一位使徒及其同伴正聚在一起谈论： 34 “主真的复活了，祂向西门显现了。”
35 二人也把路上发生的事以及掰饼时认出主的经过述说了一遍。
36 正说的时候，耶稣出现在他们中间，说：“愿你们平安！” 37 他们又惊又怕，以为是看见了鬼魂。
38 耶稣说：“你们为什么忧心忡忡？为什么心存疑惑呢？ 39 你们看我的手和脚，就知道真的是我。来摸摸看，鬼魂没有骨和肉，你们看！我有。” 40 说完，便伸出手和脚给他们看。
41 门徒又惊又喜，半信半疑。耶稣问：“你们这里有吃的吗？” 42 他们便给祂一片烤鱼， 43 祂接过鱼来在他们面前吃了。
44 耶稣对他们说：“我跟你们在一起的时候曾经说过，摩西的律法书、先知的书以及诗篇里有关我的记载都要应验。” 45 于是，耶稣开启了他们的心窍，使他们明白这些经文， 46 又对他们说：“圣经上说，基督必受害，然后在第三天从死里复活， 47 人们要奉祂的名传扬悔改、赦罪的福音，从耶路撒冷一直传遍万国。
48 “你们是这些事的见证人， 49 我要把我父所应许的赐给你们。不过，你们要留在城里，直到你们得到天上来的能力。”
耶稣升天
50 耶稣带着门徒来到伯大尼附近，举起双手为他们祝福。 51 正祝福的时候，祂就离开了他们，被接到天上去了。 52 门徒都敬拜祂，然后欢欢喜喜地回到耶路撒冷。 53 他们常在圣殿里赞美上帝。

Luke 22-24

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(A)
22 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,(B) 2 and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus,(C) for they were afraid of the people. 3 Then Satan(D) entered Judas, called Iscariot,(E) one of the Twelve. 4 And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard(F) and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus. 5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.(G) 6 He consented, and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present.
The Last Supper(H)(I)(J)(K)(L)
7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.(M) 8 Jesus sent Peter and John,(N) saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”
9 “Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked.
10 He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11 and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.”
13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them.(O) So they prepared the Passover.
14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles(P) reclined at the table.(Q) 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.(R) 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”(S)
17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it,(T) and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant(U) in my blood, which is poured out for you.[a] 21 But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table.(V) 22 The Son of Man(W) will go as it has been decreed.(X) But woe to that man who betrays him!” 23 They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this.
24 A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.(Y) 25 Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. 26 But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest,(Z) and the one who rules like the one who serves.(AA) 27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.(AB) 28 You are those who have stood by me in my trials. 29 And I confer on you a kingdom,(AC) just as my Father conferred one on me, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom(AD) and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.(AE)
31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked(AF) to sift all of you as wheat.(AG) 32 But I have prayed for you,(AH) Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”(AI)
33 But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.”(AJ)
34 Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”
35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals,(AK) did you lack anything?”
“Nothing,” they answered.
36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. 37 It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’[b];(AL) and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.”
38 The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.”
“That’s enough!” he replied.
Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives(AM)
39 Jesus went out as usual(AN) to the Mount of Olives,(AO) and his disciples followed him. 40 On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.”(AP) 41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down(AQ) and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup(AR) from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”(AS) 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.(AT) 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.[c]
45 When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. 46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”(AU)
Jesus Arrested(AV)
47 While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him, 48 but Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49 When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”(AW) 50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
51 But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.
52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard,(AX) and the elders, who had come for him, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs? 53 Every day I was with you in the temple courts,(AY) and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour(AZ)—when darkness reigns.”(BA)
Peter Disowns Jesus(BB)
54 Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest.(BC) Peter followed at a distance.(BD) 55 And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. 56 A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, “This man was with him.”
57 But he denied it. “Woman, I don’t know him,” he said.
58 A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.”
“Man, I am not!” Peter replied.
59 About an hour later another asserted, “Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.”(BE)
60 Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 The Lord(BF) turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.”(BG) 62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.
The Guards Mock Jesus(BH)
63 The men who were guarding Jesus began mocking and beating him. 64 They blindfolded him and demanded, “Prophesy! Who hit you?” 65 And they said many other insulting things to him.(BI)
Jesus Before Pilate and Herod(BJ)(BK)(BL)
66 At daybreak the council(BM) of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and the teachers of the law, met together,(BN) and Jesus was led before them. 67 “If you are the Messiah,” they said, “tell us.”
Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe me, 68 and if I asked you, you would not answer.(BO) 69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God.”(BP)
70 They all asked, “Are you then the Son of God?”(BQ)
He replied, “You say that I am.”(BR)
71 Then they said, “Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it from his own lips.”
23 Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate.(BS) 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation.(BT) He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar(BU) and claims to be Messiah, a king.”(BV)
3 So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
“You have said so,” Jesus replied.
4 Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”(BW)
5 But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee(BX) and has come all the way here.”
6 On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean.(BY) 7 When he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod,(BZ) who was also in Jerusalem at that time.
8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him.(CA) From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some sort. 9 He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer.(CB) 10 The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him. 11 Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe,(CC) they sent him back to Pilate. 12 That day Herod and Pilate became friends(CD)—before this they had been enemies.
13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers and the people, 14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges against him.(CE) 15 Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death. 16 Therefore, I will punish him(CF) and then release him.” [17] [d]
18 But the whole crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”(CG) 19 (Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)
20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again. 21 But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
22 For the third time he spoke to them: “Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore I will have him punished and then release him.”(CH)
23 But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed. 24 So Pilate decided to grant their demand. 25 He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for, and surrendered Jesus to their will.
The Crucifixion of Jesus(CI)
26 As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene,(CJ) who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus.(CK) 27 A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed(CL) for him. 28 Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.(CM) 29 For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’(CN) 30 Then
31 For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”(CP)
32 Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed.(CQ) 33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, “Father,(CR) forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”[f](CS) And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.(CT)
35 The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him.(CU) They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.”(CV)
36 The soldiers also came up and mocked him.(CW) They offered him wine vinegar(CX) 37 and said, “If you are the king of the Jews,(CY) save yourself.”
38 There was a written notice above him, which read: this is the king of the jews.(CZ)
39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”(DA)
40 But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”(DB)
42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.[g]”(DC)
43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”(DD)
The Death of Jesus(DE)
44 It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon,(DF) 45 for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple(DG) was torn in two.(DH) 46 Jesus called out with a loud voice,(DI) “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”[h](DJ) When he had said this, he breathed his last.(DK)
47 The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God(DL) and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.” 48 When all the people who had gathered to witness this sight saw what took place, they beat their breasts(DM) and went away. 49 But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee,(DN) stood at a distance,(DO) watching these things.
The Burial of Jesus(DP)
50 Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man, 51 who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea, and he himself was waiting for the kingdom of God.(DQ) 52 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body. 53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid. 54 It was Preparation Day,(DR) and the Sabbath was about to begin.
55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee(DS) followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. 56 Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes.(DT) But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.(DU)
Jesus Has Risen(DV)
24 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared(DW) and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.(DX) 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning(DY) stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee:(DZ) 7 ‘The Son of Man(EA) must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ”(EB) 8 Then they remembered his words.(EC)
9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them(ED) who told this to the apostles.(EE) 11 But they did not believe(EF) the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves,(EG) and he went away,(EH) wondering to himself what had happened.
On the Road to Emmaus
13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles[i] from Jerusalem.(EI) 14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 15 As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them;(EJ) 16 but they were kept from recognizing him.(EK)
17 He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?”
They stood still, their faces downcast. 18 One of them, named Cleopas,(EL) asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”
19 “What things?” he asked.
“About Jesus of Nazareth,”(EM) they replied. “He was a prophet,(EN) powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. 20 The chief priests and our rulers(EO) handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; 21 but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel.(EP) And what is more, it is the third day(EQ) since all this took place. 22 In addition, some of our women amazed us.(ER) They went to the tomb early this morning 23 but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”(ES)
25 He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?”(ET) 27 And beginning with Moses(EU) and all the Prophets,(EV) he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.(EW)
28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. 29 But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.
30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it(EX) and began to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him,(EY) and he disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us(EZ) while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures(FA) to us?”
33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34 and saying, “It is true! The Lord(FB) has risen and has appeared to Simon.”(FC) 35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.(FD)
Jesus Appears to the Disciples
36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”(FE)
37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.(FF) 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see;(FG) a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.(FH)
44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you:(FI) Everything must be fulfilled(FJ) that is written about me in the Law of Moses,(FK) the Prophets(FL) and the Psalms.”(FM)
45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer(FN) and rise from the dead on the third day,(FO) 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name(FP) to all nations,(FQ) beginning at Jerusalem.(FR) 48 You are witnesses(FS) of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised;(FT) but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
The Ascension of Jesus
50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany,(FU) he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven.(FV) 52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they stayed continually at the temple,(FW) praising God.
