路加福音 23
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
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。
路加福音 23
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
耶稣被押交彼拉多(A)
23 众人都起来,把耶稣押到彼拉多那里, 2 控告他说:“我们查出这个人煽惑我们的同胞,阻止纳税给凯撒,并且自称是基督,是王。” 3 彼拉多问他:“你是犹太人的王吗?”耶稣回答:“你已经说了(“你已经说了”或译:“这是你说的”)。” 4 彼拉多对祭司长和众人说:“我在这人身上,查不出有甚么罪。” 5 但他们极力说:“他在犹太全地教导人,煽动群众,从加利利直到这里。”
希律王藐视耶稣
6 彼拉多听见了,就问耶稣是不是加利利人。 7 既然知道他是属于希律管辖的,就把他送回希律那里;那时希律正在耶路撒冷。 8 希律看见耶稣,非常欢喜,因为他曾经听过耶稣的事,早就想要见他,希望看他行个神迹。 9 于是他问了耶稣许多话,但耶稣甚么也不回答。 10 祭司长和经学家站着,猛烈地控告他。 11 希律和他的侍卫就藐视耶稣,戏弄他,给他穿上华丽的衣服,把他送回彼拉多那里。 12 希律和彼拉多从前原是彼此为仇,在那一天就成了朋友。
彼拉多判耶稣钉十字架(B)
13 彼拉多召集了祭司长、官长和民众, 14 对他们说:“你们把这人押到我这里来,说他煽惑群众,我已经在你们面前审讯过,在他身上一点也找不到你们控告他的罪状, 15 连希律也找不到,又把他送回我这里,可见他没有作过该死的事。 16 我要责打他,然后把他释放。”(有些抄本有第17节:“每逢节期,他必须照例给他们释放一个囚犯。”也有些抄本把这句放在第19节后) 18 众人齐声喊叫:“除掉这个人,给我们释放巴拉巴!” 19 这巴拉巴是因为在城里作乱杀人而入狱的。 20 彼拉多再向他们说明,愿意释放耶稣。 21 然而他们高声呼叫:“把他钉十字架,把他钉十字架!” 22 彼拉多第三次对他们说:“这人作过甚么恶事呢?我在他身上找不出甚么该死的罪。所以我要责打他,然后把他释放。” 23 但他们大声吵闹,要他把耶稣钉十字架,他们的声音就得了胜。 24 彼拉多就宣判,照他们的要求, 25 把他们所求那作乱杀人入狱的释放了,却把耶稣交出来,随他们的意思处理。
耶稣被钉十字架(C)
26 他们把耶稣带走的时候,抓住了一个从乡下来的古利奈人西门,把十字架放在他身上,叫他背着跟在耶稣后面。 27 一大群人跟随他,有些妇女为他捶胸痛哭。 28 耶稣转过身来对她们说:“耶路撒冷的女儿啊,不要为我哭,却要为你们自己和你们的儿女哭。 29 日子将到,人必说:‘不生育的和没有怀过胎的,也没有哺养过婴儿的有福了。’
30 那时人要对大山说:
‘倒在我们身上!’
对小山说:
‘遮盖我们!’
31 他们在青绿的树上,既然这样作;在枯干的树上,又会怎样呢?”
32 他们另外带来两个犯人,和耶稣一同处死, 33 到了那名叫“髑髅”的地方,就把耶稣钉在十字架上,也钉了那两个犯人,一左一右。 34 耶稣说:“父啊,赦免他们!因为他们不知道自己所作的是甚么。”士兵抽签,分了他的衣服。 35 群众站着观看,官长们嗤笑说:“他救了别人,如果他是基督,是 神所拣选的,让他救自己吧!” 36 士兵也上前戏弄他,拿酸酒给他喝, 37 说:“如果你是犹太人的王,救你自己吧!” 38 在耶稣的头以上有一个牌子写着:“这是犹太人的王。”
39 悬挂着的犯人中,有一个侮辱他说:“你不是基督吗?救你自己和我们吧!” 40 另一个就应声责备他说:“你是同样受刑的,还不惧怕 神吗? 41 我们是罪有应得的。我们所受的与所作的相称,然而这个人并没有作过甚么不对的事。” 42 他又对耶稣说:“耶稣啊,你得国降临的时候,求你记念我。” 43 耶稣对他说:“我实在告诉你,今天你必定同我在乐园里了。”
耶稣死时的情形(D)
44 从大约正午直到下午三点钟,遍地都黑暗了。 45 太阳没有光,圣所的幔子从当中裂开。 46 耶稣大声呼叫:“父啊,我把我的灵魂交在你手里。”说了这话,气就断了。 47 百夫长看见所发生的事,就颂赞 神,说:“这真是个义人!” 48 聚集观看的群众,看见所发生的事,都捶着胸回去了。 49 与耶稣熟悉的人,和从加利利跟随他来的妇女,都远远地站着,看这些事。
耶稣葬在坟墓里(E)
50 有一个人名叫约瑟,是个议员,为人良善公义, 51 是犹太地亚利马太城的人,一向等候 神的国,并不附和众人的计谋和行为。 52 这人去见彼拉多,求领耶稣的身体。 53 他把身体取下来,用细麻布裹好,放在从石头凿出来的坟墓里,这坟墓是从来没有葬过人的。 54 那天是预备日,安息日就要开始, 55 那些从加利利和耶稣一起来的妇女,跟着来了。她们看见了坟墓,和他的身体怎样安葬, 56 就回去预备香料和香膏。
安息日,她们遵着诫命安息。
Lucas 23
Reina-Valera 1960
Jesús ante Pilato
(Mt. 27.1-2,11-14; Mr. 15.1-5; Jn. 18.28-38)
23 Levantándose entonces toda la muchedumbre de ellos, llevaron a Jesús a Pilato. 2 Y comenzaron a acusarle, diciendo: A este hemos hallado que pervierte a la nación, y que prohíbe dar tributo a César, diciendo que él mismo es el Cristo, un rey. 3 Entonces Pilato le preguntó, diciendo: ¿Eres tú el Rey de los judíos? Y respondiéndole él, dijo: Tú lo dices. 4 Y Pilato dijo a los principales sacerdotes, y a la gente: Ningún delito hallo en este hombre. 5 Pero ellos porfiaban, diciendo: Alborota al pueblo, enseñando por toda Judea, comenzando desde Galilea hasta aquí.
Jesús ante Herodes
6 Entonces Pilato, oyendo decir, Galilea, preguntó si el hombre era galileo. 7 Y al saber que era de la jurisdicción de Herodes, le remitió a Herodes, que en aquellos días también estaba en Jerusalén. 8 Herodes, viendo a Jesús, se alegró mucho, porque hacía tiempo que deseaba verle; porque había oído muchas cosas acerca de él, y esperaba verle hacer alguna señal. 9 Y le hacía muchas preguntas, pero él nada le respondió. 10 Y estaban los principales sacerdotes y los escribas acusándole con gran vehemencia. 11 Entonces Herodes con sus soldados le menospreció y escarneció, vistiéndole de una ropa espléndida; y volvió a enviarle a Pilato. 12 Y se hicieron amigos Pilato y Herodes aquel día; porque antes estaban enemistados entre sí.
Jesús sentenciado a muerte
(Mt. 27.15-26; Mr. 15.6-15; Jn. 18.38—19.16)
13 Entonces Pilato, convocando a los principales sacerdotes, a los gobernantes, y al pueblo, 14 les dijo: Me habéis presentado a este como un hombre que perturba al pueblo; pero habiéndole interrogado yo delante de vosotros, no he hallado en este hombre delito alguno de aquellos de que le acusáis. 15 Y ni aun Herodes, porque os remití a él; y he aquí, nada digno de muerte ha hecho este hombre. 16 Le soltaré, pues, después de castigarle. 17 Y tenía necesidad de soltarles uno en cada fiesta.
18 Mas toda la multitud dio voces a una, diciendo: ¡Fuera con este, y suéltanos a Barrabás! 19 Este había sido echado en la cárcel por sedición en la ciudad, y por un homicidio. 20 Les habló otra vez Pilato, queriendo soltar a Jesús; 21 pero ellos volvieron a dar voces, diciendo: ¡Crucifícale, crucifícale! 22 Él les dijo por tercera vez: ¿Pues qué mal ha hecho este? Ningún delito digno de muerte he hallado en él; le castigaré, pues, y le soltaré. 23 Mas ellos instaban a grandes voces, pidiendo que fuese crucificado. Y las voces de ellos y de los principales sacerdotes prevalecieron. 24 Entonces Pilato sentenció que se hiciese lo que ellos pedían; 25 y les soltó a aquel que había sido echado en la cárcel por sedición y homicidio, a quien habían pedido; y entregó a Jesús a la voluntad de ellos.
Crucifixión y muerte de Jesús
(Mt. 27.32-56; Mr. 15.21-41; Jn. 19.17-30)
26 Y llevándole, tomaron a cierto Simón de Cirene, que venía del campo, y le pusieron encima la cruz para que la llevase tras Jesús. 27 Y le seguía gran multitud del pueblo, y de mujeres que lloraban y hacían lamentación por él. 28 Pero Jesús, vuelto hacia ellas, les dijo: Hijas de Jerusalén, no lloréis por mí, sino llorad por vosotras mismas y por vuestros hijos. 29 Porque he aquí vendrán días en que dirán: Bienaventuradas las estériles, y los vientres que no concibieron, y los pechos que no criaron. 30 Entonces comenzarán a decir a los montes: Caed sobre nosotros; y a los collados: Cubridnos.(A) 31 Porque si en el árbol verde hacen estas cosas, ¿en el seco, qué no se hará?
32 Llevaban también con él a otros dos, que eran malhechores, para ser muertos. 33 Y cuando llegaron al lugar llamado de la Calavera, le crucificaron allí, y a los malhechores, uno a la derecha y otro a la izquierda. 34 Y Jesús decía: Padre, perdónalos, porque no saben lo que hacen. Y repartieron entre sí sus vestidos, echando suertes.(B) 35 Y el pueblo estaba mirando; y aun los gobernantes se burlaban de él, diciendo: A otros salvó; sálvese a sí mismo, si este es el Cristo, el escogido de Dios. 36 Los soldados también le escarnecían, acercándose y presentándole vinagre, 37 y diciendo: Si tú eres el Rey de los judíos, sálvate a ti mismo. 38 Había también sobre él un título escrito con letras griegas, latinas y hebreas: ESTE ES EL REY DE LOS JUDÍOS.
39 Y uno de los malhechores que estaban colgados le injuriaba, diciendo: Si tú eres el Cristo, sálvate a ti mismo y a nosotros. 40 Respondiendo el otro, le reprendió, diciendo: ¿Ni aun temes tú a Dios, estando en la misma condenación? 41 Nosotros, a la verdad, justamente padecemos, porque recibimos lo que merecieron nuestros hechos; mas este ningún mal hizo. 42 Y dijo a Jesús: Acuérdate de mí cuando vengas en tu reino. 43 Entonces Jesús le dijo: De cierto te digo que hoy estarás conmigo en el paraíso.
44 Cuando era como la hora sexta, hubo tinieblas sobre toda la tierra hasta la hora novena. 45 Y el sol se oscureció, y el velo(C) del templo se rasgó por la mitad. 46 Entonces Jesús, clamando a gran voz, dijo: Padre, en tus manos encomiendo mi espíritu.(D) Y habiendo dicho esto, expiró. 47 Cuando el centurión vio lo que había acontecido, dio gloria a Dios, diciendo: Verdaderamente este hombre era justo. 48 Y toda la multitud de los que estaban presentes en este espectáculo, viendo lo que había acontecido, se volvían golpeándose el pecho. 49 Pero todos sus conocidos, y las mujeres(E) que le habían seguido desde Galilea, estaban lejos mirando estas cosas.
Jesús es sepultado
(Mt. 27.57-61; Mr. 15.42-47; Jn. 19.38-42)
50 Había un varón llamado José, de Arimatea, ciudad de Judea, el cual era miembro del concilio, varón bueno y justo. 51 Este, que también esperaba el reino de Dios, y no había consentido en el acuerdo ni en los hechos de ellos, 52 fue a Pilato, y pidió el cuerpo de Jesús. 53 Y quitándolo, lo envolvió en una sábana, y lo puso en un sepulcro abierto en una peña, en el cual aún no se había puesto a nadie. 54 Era día de la preparación, y estaba para comenzar el día de reposo.[a] 55 Y las mujeres que habían venido con él desde Galilea, siguieron también, y vieron el sepulcro, y cómo fue puesto su cuerpo. 56 Y vueltas, prepararon especias aromáticas y ungüentos; y descansaron el día de reposo,[b] conforme al mandamiento.(F)

Modern English Version
Jesus Brought Before Pilate(A)
23 Then the whole assembly rose and led Him to Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this Man perverting our nation, and forbidding us to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is Christ a King.”
3 So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
He answered, “You truly say so.”
4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and to the people, “I find no fault in this Man.”
5 But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to here.”
Jesus Before Herod
6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the Man was a Galilean. 7 When he learned that He belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.
8 When Herod saw Jesus, he greatly rejoiced, for he had desired to see Him for a long time, because he had heard many things of Him, and he was hoping to see some miracle performed by Him. 9 He questioned Him with many words, but He gave no answer. 10 The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing Him. 11 Then Herod with his soldiers despised Him, and mocked Him, and dressed Him in a fine robe, and sent Him back to Pilate. 12 On the same day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, having previously been at enmity with each other.
Jesus Sentenced to Die(B)
13 Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 14 and said to them, “You have brought this Man to me as one who incites the people. And truly, I, having examined Him before you, have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him. 15 No, neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, nothing worthy of death has been done by Him. 16 I will therefore chastise Him and release Him.” 17 For he was obligated to release one man to them at the feast.
18 But they all cried out at once saying, “Take this Man away and release Barabbas to us!” 19 This man had been thrown in prison for an insurrection in the city and for murder.
20 Therefore Pilate spoke to them again, desiring to release Jesus. 21 But they cried out, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”
22 He said to them a third time, “Why, what evil has He done? I have found in Him no cause worthy of death. I will therefore chastise Him and release Him.”
23 But they insisted with loud voices, asking that He be crucified. And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed. 24 So Pilate gave the sentence as they demanded. 25 He released to them the man who was thrown in prison for insurrection and murder, whom they asked for. But he sentenced Jesus according to their will.
The Crucifixion(C)
26 As they led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and they laid the cross on him to carry it behind Jesus. 27 A large number of people followed Him, including women who mourned and lamented Him. 28 Jesus turned to them, saying, “Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 Listen, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, who never bore and never nursed!’ 30 Then
they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’
and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’
31 For if men do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
32 Two different men, who were criminals, also were led with Him to be killed. 33 When they came to the place which is called The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and one on the left. 34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they divided His clothes by casting lots.
35 The people stood by watching. But the rulers with them scoffed, saying, “He saved others. Let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the Chosen One of God.”
36 And the soldiers also mocked Him, coming to Him and offering Him sour wine, 37 saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.”
38 An inscription was written over Him in letters of Greek and Latin and Hebrew:
THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 One of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us!”
40 But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, seeing you are under the same sentence? 41 And we indeed, justly. For we are receiving the due reward of our deeds. But this Man has done nothing amiss.”
42 Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”
43 Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
The Death of Jesus(D)
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour, 45 while the sun was darkened. And the veil of the temple was torn in the middle. 46 And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit.” Having said this, He gave up the spirit.
47 When the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God and said, “Certainly, this was a righteous Man.” 48 All the crowds who came together to that sight, witnessing what occurred, struck their chests and returned. 49 But all those who knew Him and the women accompanying Him from Galilee stood at a distance, seeing these things.
The Burial of Jesus(E)
50 Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, who was a good and just man. 51 He had not consented to their counsel and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, and he himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God. 52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53 Then he took Him down, and wrapped Him in linen, and placed Him in a hewn tomb, where no one had ever been buried. 54 It was the Day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
55 The women who came with Him from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how His body was placed. 56 Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
Luke 23
New International Version
23 Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate.(A) 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation.(B) He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar(C) and claims to be Messiah, a king.”(D)
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.”(E)
5 But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee(F) and has come all the way here.”
6 On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean.(G) 7 When he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod,(H) 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.(I) 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.(J) 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,(K) they sent him back to Pilate. 12 That day Herod and Pilate became friends(L)—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.(M) 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(N) and then release him.” [17] [a]
18 But the whole crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”(O) 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.”(P)
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(Q)
26 As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene,(R) who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus.(S) 27 A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed(T) for him. 28 Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.(U) 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!’(V) 30 Then
31 For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”(X)
32 Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed.(Y) 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,(Z) forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”[c](AA) And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.(AB)
35 The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him.(AC) They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.”(AD)
36 The soldiers also came up and mocked him.(AE) They offered him wine vinegar(AF) 37 and said, “If you are the king of the Jews,(AG) save yourself.”
38 There was a written notice above him, which read: this is the king of the jews.(AH)
39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”(AI)
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.”(AJ)
42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.[d]”(AK)
43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”(AL)
The Death of Jesus(AM)
44 It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon,(AN) 45 for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple(AO) was torn in two.(AP) 46 Jesus called out with a loud voice,(AQ) “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”[e](AR) When he had said this, he breathed his last.(AS)
47 The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God(AT) 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(AU) and went away. 49 But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee,(AV) stood at a distance,(AW) watching these things.
The Burial of Jesus(AX)
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.(AY) 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,(AZ) and the Sabbath was about to begin.
55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee(BA) followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. 56 Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes.(BB) But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.(BC)
