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。

Pilate Questions Jesus(A)
23 Then the whole group stood up and led Jesus to Pilate [C Pontius Pilate, governor of Judea from ad 26 to 36; see 3:1]. 2 They began to accuse Jesus, saying, “We caught this man ·misleading [subverting] our ·people [nation]. He ·says that we should not pay [opposes/forbids paying] taxes to Caesar, and he ·calls himself [claims to be] the ·Christ [Messiah], a king.”
3 Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
Jesus answered, “·Those are your words [or It is as you say; L You say so; C an indirect affirmation; see 22:70].”
4 Pilate said to the ·leading [T chief] priests and the ·people [crowd], “I find ·nothing against [no basis for a charge against; no guilt in] this man.”
5 [L But] They were insisting, saying, “But Jesus ·makes trouble with [is inciting/stirring up] the people, teaching all around Judea. He began in Galilee, and now he is here.”
Pilate Sends Jesus to Herod
6 Pilate heard this and asked if ·Jesus [L the man] was ·from Galilee [a Galilean]. 7 ·Since [L Learning that] Jesus was under Herod’s authority, Pilate sent Jesus to Herod [C Antipas; see 3:1], who was in Jerusalem at that time. 8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, because he had heard about Jesus and had wanted to ·meet [L see] him for a long time. He was hoping to see Jesus ·work a miracle [perform a sign]. 9 Herod asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus said nothing. 10 The ·leading [T chief] priests and ·teachers of the law [scribes] were standing there, ·strongly [vehemently; vigorously] accusing Jesus. 11 After Herod and his soldiers had ·made fun of [ridiculed and mocked] Jesus, they dressed him in a ·kingly [elegant; splendid; L bright] ·robe [clothing] and sent him back to Pilate. 12 In the past, Pilate and Herod had always been enemies, but on that day they became friends.
Jesus Must Die(B)
13 Pilate called together the ·leading [T chief] priests, the ·rulers [leaders] and the people. 14 He said to them, “You brought this man to me, saying he ·makes trouble among [misleads; subverts; incites] the people. But I have questioned him before you all, and I have not found ·him guilty of what you say [any basis for the charges]. 15 Also, Herod found nothing wrong with him; [L because] he sent him back to us. Look, he has done nothing ·for which he should die [worthy/deserving of death]. 16 So, after I ·punish him [have him flogged], I will let him go free.” |17 Every year at the Passover Feast, Pilate had to release one prisoner to the people.|[a]
18 But ·the people [L they] shouted together, “Take this man away [C for execution]! ·Let Barabbas go free [L Release Barabbas to/for us]!” 19 (Barabbas was a man who was in prison for his part in a ·riot [insurrection] in the city and for murder.)
20 Pilate wanted to let Jesus go free and [L again] ·told this to [appealed to; addressed] the crowd. 21 But they shouted again, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
22 A third time Pilate said to them, “Why? What ·wrong [crime; evil] has he done? I can find no reason to kill him. So I will have him ·punished [flogged] and set him free.”
23 But they continued to shout, demanding that Jesus be crucified. Their ·yelling became so loud [L voices prevailed so] that 24 Pilate decided to give them what they ·wanted [requested; demanded]. 25 He set free the man who was in jail for ·rioting [insurrection] and murder, and he handed Jesus over ·to them to do with him as they wished [or as they requested; L to their will].
Jesus Is Crucified(C)
26 As they led Jesus away, Simon, a man from Cyrene [C a port city in North Africa (modern Libya)], was coming in from the ·fields [countryside; country; C Simon may be a Jewish pilgrim visiting Jerusalem for Passover or an immigrant living there]. They forced him to carry Jesus’ cross and to walk behind him.
27 A large crowd of people was following Jesus, including some women who were ·sad [mourning] and ·crying [wailing; lamenting] for him. 28 But Jesus turned and said to them, “·Women [L Daughters] of Jerusalem, don’t ·cry [weep] for me. ·Cry [Weep] for yourselves and for your children. 29 [L For look/T behold] The ·time is [days are] coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are ·the women who cannot have children [L the barren women and the wombs that never gave birth] and ·who have no babies to nurse [L the breasts that have never nursed].’ 30 Then people will say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ And they will say to the hills, ‘·Cover [Bury] us [Hos. 10:8]!’ 31 If they act like this now when ·life is good [L the tree is green], what will happen when ·bad times come [L it is dry; C probably an allusion to the siege and destruction of Jerusalem in ad 70]?”
32 There were also two criminals led out with Jesus to be ·put to death [executed]. 33 When they came to a place called the Skull, the soldiers crucified Jesus and the criminals—one on his right and the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, because they don’t know what they are doing.”[b]
The soldiers threw lots [C similar to dice] to decide who would get his clothes [Ps. 22:18]. 35 The people stood there watching. And the leaders ·made fun of [sneered at; mocked] Jesus, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself if he is ·God’s Chosen One, the Christ [or God’s Messiah, the Chosen One].”
36 The soldiers also ·made fun of [mocked] him, coming to Jesus and offering him some ·vinegar [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 [L Above him there was also an inscription]: this is the king of the jews.
39 One of the criminals ·on a cross [L who was hanging there] began to ·shout insults at [slander; blaspheme] Jesus: “Aren’t you the ·Christ [Messiah]? Then save yourself and us.”
40 But the other criminal ·stopped [rebuked] him and said, “·You should [L Don’t you…?] fear God! You are getting the same punishment he is. 41 We are punished justly, getting what we deserve for what we did. But this man has done nothing wrong.” 42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
43 Jesus said to him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise [C heaven or the presence of God].”
Jesus Dies
44 It was about ·noon [L the sixth hour; C hours were counted from dawn, about 6 AM], and the whole land became dark until ·three o’clock in the afternoon [L the ninth hour], 45 because the sun did not shine. The curtain in the Temple [C dividing the Most Holy Place from the rest of the Temple] was torn ·in two [down the middle]. 46 Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Father, ·I give you my life [L into your hands I entrust/commit my spirit; Ps. 31:5].” After Jesus said this, he ·died [expired; T breathed his last].
47 When the ·army officer [L centurion] there saw what happened, he ·praised [glorified] God, saying, “Surely this was a ·good [righteous; or innocent] man!”
48 When all the people who had gathered there to watch saw what happened, they returned home, beating their chests [C a sign of sorrow and remorse]. 49 But those who ·were close friends of Jesus [L knew him], including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance and watched [L these things].
Joseph Takes Jesus’ Body(D)
50 [L And look/T behold] There was a good and ·religious [righteous; just] man named Joseph who was a member of the council. 51 But he had not agreed to the other leaders’ plans and actions against Jesus. He was from the town of Arimathea [in Judea; or a town of the Jews] and was waiting for the kingdom of God to come. 52 Joseph went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus. 53 He took the body down from the cross, wrapped it in [linen] cloth, and put it in a tomb that was cut out of a wall of rock. ·This tomb had never been used before [L …where no one had been laid; C family tombs held multiple bodies, but this new one was empty]. 54 This was late on Preparation Day, ·and when the sun went down, the Sabbath day would begin [L and the Sabbath was beginning].
55 The women who had come from Galilee with Jesus followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how Jesus’ body was laid. 56 Then the women left to prepare spices and perfumes [C used to honor the dead and cover the stench of decay].
On the Sabbath day they rested, ·as the law of Moses commanded [L according to the commandment].
