路加福音 23
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
将耶稣解交彼拉多
23 众人都起来，把耶稣解到彼拉多面前， 2 就告他说：“我们见这人诱惑国民，禁止纳税给恺撒，并说自己是基督，是王。” 3 彼拉多问耶稣说：“你是犹太人的王吗？”耶稣回答说：“你说的是。” 4 彼拉多对祭司长和众人说：“我查不出这人有什么罪来。” 5 但他们越发极力地说：“他煽惑百姓，在犹太遍地传道，从加利利起直到这里了。” 6 彼拉多一听见，就问：“这人是加利利人吗？” 7 既晓得耶稣属希律所管，就把他送到希律那里去。那时希律正在耶路撒冷。
耶稣在希律前被藐视
8 希律看见耶稣，就很欢喜，因为听见过他的事，久已想要见他，并且指望看他行一件神迹。 9 于是问他许多的话，耶稣却一言不答。 10 祭司长和文士都站着，极力地告他。 11 希律和他的兵丁就藐视耶稣，戏弄他，给他穿上华丽衣服，把他送回彼拉多那里去。 12 从前希律和彼拉多彼此有仇，在那一天就成了朋友。
在彼拉多前受审
13 彼拉多传齐了祭司长和官府并百姓， 14 就对他们说：“你们解这人到我这里，说他是诱惑百姓的。看哪，我也曾将你们告他的事在你们面前审问他，并没有查出他什么罪来。 15 就是希律也是如此，所以把他送回来。可见他没有做什么该死的事。 16 故此，我要责打他，把他释放了。”[a]
除掉耶稣释放巴拉巴
18 众人却一齐喊着说：“除掉这个人！释放巴拉巴给我们！” 19 这巴拉巴是因在城里作乱杀人，下在监里的。 20 彼拉多愿意释放耶稣，就又劝解他们。 21 无奈他们喊着说：“钉他十字架！钉他十字架！” 22 彼拉多第三次对他们说：“为什么呢？这人做了什么恶事呢？我并没有查出他什么该死的罪来。所以，我要责打他，把他释放了。” 23 他们大声催逼彼拉多，求他把耶稣钉在十字架上，他们的声音就得了胜。 24 彼拉多这才照他们所求的定案， 25 把他们所求的那作乱杀人下在监里的释放了，把耶稣交给他们，任凭他们的意思行。
26 带耶稣去的时候，有一个古利奈人西门从乡下来，他们就抓住他，把十字架搁在他身上，叫他背着跟随耶稣。
许多人为耶稣号啕痛哭
27 有许多百姓跟随耶稣，内中有好些妇女，妇女们为他号啕痛哭。 28 耶稣转身对她们说：“耶路撒冷的女子，不要为我哭，当为自己和自己的儿女哭。 29 因为日子要到，人必说：‘不生育的和未曾怀胎的、未曾乳养婴孩的有福了！’ 30 那时，人要向大山说‘倒在我们身上！’，向小山说‘遮盖我们！’。 31 这些事既行在有汁水的树上，那枯干的树将来怎么样呢？”
32 又有两个犯人，和耶稣一同带来处死。
耶稣被钉十字架
33 到了一个地方，名叫髑髅地，就在那里把耶稣钉在十字架上，又钉了两个犯人，一个在左边，一个在右边。 34 当下耶稣说：“父啊，赦免他们！因为他们所做的他们不晓得。”兵丁就拈阄分他的衣服。 35 百姓站在那里观看。官府也嗤笑他，说：“他救了别人，他若是基督，神所拣选的，可以救自己吧！” 36 兵丁也戏弄他，上前拿醋送给他喝， 37 说：“你若是犹太人的王，可以救自己吧！” 38 在耶稣以上有一个牌子[b]，写着：“这是犹太人的王。”
犯人求主记念
39 那同钉的两个犯人，有一个讥诮他说：“你不是基督吗？可以救自己和我们吧！” 40 那一个就应声责备他说：“你既是一样受刑的，还不怕神吗？ 41 我们是应该的，因我们所受的与我们所做的相称，但这个人没有做过一件不好的事。” 42 就说：“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：今日你要同我在乐园里了！”
耶稣死的景象
44 那时约有午正，遍地都黑暗了，直到申初， 45 日头变黑了，殿里的幔子从当中裂为两半。 46 耶稣大声喊着说：“父啊，我将我的灵魂交在你手里！”说了这话，气就断了。 47 百夫长看见所成的事，就归荣耀于神，说：“这真是个义人！” 48 聚集观看的众人见了这所成的事，都捶着胸回去了。 49 还有一切与耶稣熟识的人和从加利利跟着他来的妇女们，都远远地站着看这些事。
安放在新坟墓里
50 有一个人名叫约瑟，是个议士，为人善良公义， 51 众人所谋所为他并没有附从；他本是犹太亚利马太城里素常盼望神国的人。 52 这人去见彼拉多，求耶稣的身体。 53 就取下来，用细麻布裹好，安放在石头凿成的坟墓里，那里头从来没有葬过人。 54 那日是预备日，安息日也快到了。 55 那些从加利利和耶稣同来的妇女跟在后面，看见了坟墓和他的身体怎样安放。 56 她们就回去，预备了香料香膏。
她们在安息日便遵着诫命安息了。

Luke 23
Easy-to-Read Version
Governor Pilate Questions Jesus(A)
23 Then the whole group stood up and led Jesus away to Pilate. 2 They began to accuse Jesus and said to Pilate, “We caught this man trying to change the thinking of our people. He says we should not pay taxes to Caesar. He calls himself the Messiah, a king.”
3 Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
Jesus answered, “Yes, what you say is true.”
4 Pilate said to the leading priests and the people, “I find nothing wrong with this man.”
5 But they kept on saying, “His teaching is causing trouble all over Judea. He began in Galilee, and now he is here!”
Pilate Sends Jesus to Herod
6 Pilate heard this and asked if Jesus was from Galilee. 7 He learned that Jesus was under Herod’s authority. Herod was in Jerusalem at that time, so Pilate sent Jesus to him.
8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was very happy. He had heard all about him and had wanted to meet him for a long time. Herod wanted to see a miracle, so he was hoping that Jesus would do one. 9 He asked him many questions, but Jesus said nothing. 10 The leading priests and teachers of the law were standing there shouting things against Jesus. 11 Then Herod and his soldiers laughed at him. They made fun of him by dressing him in clothes like kings wear. Then Herod sent him back to Pilate. 12 In the past Pilate and Herod had always been enemies. But on that day they became friends.
Pilate Tries but Fails to Free Jesus(B)
13 Pilate called all the people together with the leading priests and the Jewish leaders. 14 He said to them, “You brought this man to me. You said he was trying to change the people. But I judged him before you all and have not found him guilty of the things you say he has done. 15 Herod didn’t find him guilty either. He sent him back to us. Look, he has done nothing bad enough for the death penalty. 16 So, after I punish him a little, I will let him go free.” 17 [a]
18 But they all shouted, “Kill him! Let Barabbas go free!” 19 (Barabbas was a man who was in jail for starting a riot in the city and for murder.)
20 Pilate wanted to let Jesus go free. So again Pilate told them that he would let him go. 21 But they shouted again, “Kill him! Kill him on a cross!”
22 A third time Pilate said to the people, “Why? What wrong has he done? He is not guilty. I can find no reason to kill him. So I will let him go free after I punish him a little.”
23 But the people continued to shout. They demanded that Jesus be killed on a cross. Their shouting got so loud that 24 Pilate decided to give them what they wanted. 25 They wanted Barabbas to go free—the one who was in jail for starting a riot and for murder. Pilate let Barabbas go free. And he handed Jesus over to be killed. This is what the people wanted.
Jesus Is Nailed to a Cross(C)
26 The soldiers led Jesus away. At that same time there was a man from Cyrene named Simon coming into the city from the fields. The soldiers forced him to carry Jesus’ cross and walk behind him.
27 A large crowd followed Jesus. Some of the women were sad and crying. They felt sorry for him. 28 But Jesus turned and said to the women, “Women of Jerusalem, don’t cry for me. Cry for yourselves and for your children too. 29 The time is coming when people will say, ‘The women who cannot have babies are the ones God has blessed. It’s really a blessing that they have no children to care for.’ 30 Then the people will say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ They will say to the hills, ‘Cover us!’[b] 31 If this can happen to someone who is good, what will happen to those who are guilty?[c]”
32 There were also two criminals led out with Jesus to be killed. 33 They were led to a place called “The Skull.” There the soldiers nailed Jesus to the cross. They also nailed the criminals to crosses beside Jesus—one on the right and the other on the left.
34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them. They don’t know what they are doing.”[d]
The soldiers threw dice to divide Jesus’ clothes between them. 35 The people stood there watching everything. The Jewish leaders laughed at Jesus. They said, “If he is God’s Chosen One, the Messiah, then let him save himself. He saved others, didn’t he?”
36 Even the soldiers laughed at Jesus and made fun of him. They came and offered him some sour wine. 37 They said, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself!” 38 (At the top of the cross these words were written: “ this is the king of the jews.”)
39 One of the criminals hanging there began to shout insults at Jesus: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Then save yourself, and save us too!”
40 But the other criminal stopped him. He said, “You should fear God. All of us will die soon. 41 You and I are guilty. We deserve to die because we did wrong. But this man has done nothing wrong.” 42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you begin ruling as king!”
43 Then Jesus said to him, “I promise you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
Jesus Dies(D)
44 It was about noon, but it turned dark throughout the land until three o’clock in the afternoon, 45 because the sun stopped shining. The curtain in the Temple was torn into two pieces. 46 Jesus shouted, “Father, I put my life in your hands!”[e] After Jesus said this, he died.
47 The army officer there saw what happened. He praised God, saying, “I know this man was a good man!”
48 Many people had come out of the city to see all this. When they saw it, they felt very sorry and left. 49 The people who were close friends of Jesus were there. Also, there were some women who had followed Jesus from Galilee. They all stood far away from the cross and watched these things.
Jesus Is Buried(E)
50-51 A man named Joseph was there from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a good man, who lived the way God wanted. He was waiting for God’s kingdom to come. Joseph was a member of the Jewish council. But he did not agree when the other Jewish leaders decided to kill Jesus. 52 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53 He took the body down from the cross and wrapped it in cloth. Then he put it in a tomb that was dug in a wall of rock. This tomb had never been used before. 54 It was late on Preparation day. When the sun went down, the Sabbath day would begin.
55 The women who had come from Galilee with Jesus followed Joseph. They saw the tomb. Inside they saw where he put Jesus’ body. 56 Then they left to prepare some sweet-smelling spices to put on the body.
On the Sabbath day they rested, as commanded in the Law of Moses.
