路 加 福 音 23
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
总督彼拉多审问耶稣
23 之后，这帮人起身把耶稣带到了彼拉多面前。 2 他们一见到彼拉多，就开始控告耶稣，他们说∶“我们抓住这个人，他使我们的民众误入歧途，他反对向凯撒交税，还说他是基督，是王。”
3 所以，彼拉多问耶稣∶“你是犹太人的王吗？”
耶稣回答道∶“正是，你说的对。”
4 然后，彼拉多对祭司长和人群说∶“我查不出这人有什么罪状。”
5 但他们坚持说∶“他在整个犹太地区，用他的教唆搅乱民众，他从加利利开始，一直蔓延到这里。”
彼拉多把耶稣交给了希律
6 听到这里，彼拉多问耶稣是不是加利利人。 7 当他得知耶稣是受希律管辖时，便把他送到了希律那里。那时，希律恰好在耶路撒冷。 8 希律看见耶稣，非常高兴，因为，很多年来，他一直很想见到耶稣。希律以前听说了有关他的事情，也一直想看耶稣施展奇迹。 9 希律向耶稣提了很多问题，可耶稣一个也没回答。 10 祭司长和律法师们站在那里，恶狠狠地控告着耶稣。 11 希律和他的手下士兵，也对耶稣十分轻漫无礼，他们捉弄着耶稣，给他穿上一件华丽的袍子，然后，又把他押回给彼拉多。 12 从那一天起，希律和彼拉多这一对仇敌居然变成了朋友。
彼拉多无法释放耶稣
13 彼拉多把祭司长、年长的犹太首领和百姓们召集在一起， 14 对他们说∶“你们把这个人带到我这里，是因为他搅乱民众，所以，我已经当着你们的面审问过他了，可是我没有发现他犯有你们控告他的那些罪状。 15 希律也没有发现，所以他把他送回来了，可见他没犯该死的罪， 16 那么，我就下令叫人鞭打他一顿，然后释放他。” 17 [a]
18 但是，所有的人都不约而同地叫喊着∶“杀掉这个人，释放巴拉巴！ 19 （巴拉巴因在城里造反和杀人被关进监狱的。）”
20 彼拉多很想释放耶稣，于是又把原来的话重复了一遍。 21 可是，那些人还是不断地叫喊着∶“把他钉死在十字架上，把他钉死在十字架上！”
22 第三次彼拉多又对他们说∶“可是，这个人犯了什么罪了呢？我并没有发现他犯了该死的罪，所以我下令叫人鞭打他一顿，然后放了他。”
23 但是，人们继续高声叫喊着，他们强烈要求把耶稣钉死在十字架上，他们的叫喊如此地强烈， 24 彼拉多只好答应了他们的要求， 25 释放了那个因造反和杀人被投进监狱的巴拉巴（他们要求释放这个人），然后，把耶稣交给了那些人，任凭他们去处置。
耶稣被钉在十字架上
26 士兵们把耶稣押走了，途中，他们抓了一个从乡下来的古利奈人，名字叫西门。他们把十字架放在西门的身上，让他背着跟在耶稣身后。
27 耶稣的身后还跟了一大群人，其中包括一些妇女，她们都在为耶稣的遭遇悲伤地痛哭着。 28 耶稣转过身对她们说∶“耶路撒冷的女人们啊，不要为我痛哭，而是为你们自己和你们的孩子哭泣吧。 29 因为，那日子不久会来临，人们将说∶‘不能生育的女人有福了，从未怀孕分娩的女人有福了，从没有哺育过孩子的女人有福了！’然后，他们将会对大山说∶‘倒在我们身上吧’ 30 又会对小山说∶‘遮盖住我们吧！ [b]’ 31 因为，当树是绿色时（一片大好时光时），人们做这些事情；那么，当它干枯的时刻（艰难的日子），又会发生什么呢？”
32 还有另外两个罪犯一起被带去，将与耶稣一起被处死。 33 他们来到一个叫“骷髅”的地方，士兵把耶稣钉在了十字架上，他们还把两个强盗也钉在耶稣旁边的十字架上,一个在左边，另一个在右边。 34 此时，耶稣说道∶“天父啊，饶恕他们吧，因为他们不知道自己在做什么。” [c]
这些士兵用掷骰子的方法，瓜分了耶稣的衣服。 35 人们都站在那里观看着。犹太人首领取笑耶稣说∶“如果他是基督 [d]、上帝选中的那位，他救过别人，就让他救救自己吧。”
36 士兵们过来捉弄他。他们把酸酒递给耶稣， 37 他们说∶“如果你是犹太王，那么，就救救你自己吧。” 38 在耶稣的上方，有块牌子写着∶“这是犹太人之王。”
39 和耶稣一起钉在十字架上的那两个人，其中一个也侮辱耶稣，他说∶“你不是基督吗？救救你自己，也救救我们呀！”
40 但是，另一个罪犯立刻斥责他∶“难道你不害怕上帝吗？虽然我们受到了同样的判决， 41 但对我们是公正的，因为我们罪有应得。可这个人根本没做过任何错事！” 42 接着他又对耶稣说∶“耶稣，当你做王统治时，请记住我吧！”
43 耶稣对他说∶“实话告诉你说吧：今天，你将与我一起在乐园。”
耶稣之死
44 大约从中午，直到下午三点左右，黑暗笼罩了大地， 45 此时，日光消逝，大殿里的帘幕 [e]一裂两半。 46 耶稣高喊道∶“天父啊，我把我的生命交到您手里了！”说完后，就死去了。
47 在那里的罗马军官目睹了这一切，开始赞美上帝说∶“他肯定是个好人。”
48 所有聚集在那里观看的人看到了这一切，都捶胸痛哭地回去了。 49 所有熟悉耶稣的人，包括从加利利便一直跟随着耶稣的妇女们，都站在远远的地方，看到了这一切。
安葬耶稣
50 当时，有个名字叫约瑟的人，他是犹太议会的成员，为人善良、正直。 51 他是亚利马太的犹太城人，他不赞成议会的决定和做法。他一直等待着上帝王国的到来。 52 他去见彼拉多，向他要耶稣的遗体。 53 他把耶稣的尸体从十字架上取下来，又用亚麻布包裹好，然后，把他安放在用岩石凿成的墓穴里，那个墓穴从未埋葬过任何尸体。 54 那一天是预备日（礼拜五），安息日马上就要到了。
55 那些从加利利开始就一直跟着耶稣的女人们，也跟随着约瑟来到了这里，她们看到了墓穴，也看到了耶稣的尸体是怎样安放在里面的， 56 就回家去准备香料和香脂。
在安息日里，按照摩西律法，她们休息了一天。

Luke 23
Common English Bible
Jesus before Pilate
23 The whole assembly got up and led Jesus to Pilate and 2 began to accuse him. They said, “We have found this man misleading our people, opposing the payment of taxes to Caesar, and claiming that he is the Christ, a king.”
3 Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
Jesus replied, “That’s what you say.”
4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no legal basis for action against this man.”
5 But they objected strenuously, saying, “He agitates the people with his teaching throughout Judea—starting from Galilee all the way here.”
Jesus before Herod
6 Hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean. 7 When he learned that Jesus was from Herod’s district, Pilate sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time. 8 Herod was very glad to see Jesus, for he had heard about Jesus and had wanted to see him for quite some time. He was hoping to see Jesus perform some sign. 9 Herod questioned Jesus at length, but Jesus didn’t respond to him. 10 The chief priests and the legal experts were there, fiercely accusing Jesus. 11 Herod and his soldiers treated Jesus with contempt. Herod mocked him by dressing Jesus in elegant clothes and sent him back to Pilate. 12 Pilate and Herod became friends with each other that day. Before this, they had been enemies.
Jesus and Barabbas
13 Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people. 14 He said to them, “You brought this man before me as one who was misleading the people. I have questioned him in your presence and found nothing in this man’s conduct that provides a legal basis for the charges you have brought against him. 15 Neither did Herod, because Herod returned him to us. He’s done nothing that deserves death. 16 Therefore, I’ll have him whipped, then let him go.”[a]
18 But with one voice they shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us.” (19 Barabbas had been thrown into prison because of a riot that had occurred in the city, and for murder.)
20 Pilate addressed them again because he wanted to release Jesus.
21 They kept shouting out, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
22 For the third time, Pilate said to them, “Why? What wrong has he done? I’ve found no legal basis for the death penalty in his case. Therefore, I will have him whipped, then let him go.”
23 But they were adamant, shouting their demand that Jesus be crucified. Their voices won out. 24 Pilate issued his decision to grant their request. 25 He released the one they asked for, who had been thrown into prison because of a riot and murder. But he handed Jesus over to their will.
On the way to the cross
26 As they led Jesus away, they grabbed Simon, a man from Cyrene, who was coming in from the countryside. They put the cross on his back and made him carry it behind Jesus. 27 A huge crowd of people followed Jesus, including women, who were mourning and wailing for him. 28 Jesus turned to the women and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t cry for me. Rather, cry for yourselves and your children. 29 The time will come when they will say, ‘Happy are those who are unable to become pregnant, the wombs that never gave birth, and the breasts that never nursed a child.’ 30 Then they will say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’[b] 31 If they do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
Jesus on the cross
32 They also led two other criminals to be executed with Jesus. 33 When they arrived at the place called The Skull, they crucified him, along with the criminals, one on his right and the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they’re doing.” They drew lots as a way of dividing up his clothing.
35 The people were standing around watching, but the leaders sneered at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself if he really is the Christ sent from God, the chosen one.”
36 The soldiers also mocked him. They came up to him, offering him sour wine 37 and saying, “If you really are the king of the Jews, save yourself.” 38 Above his head was a notice of the formal charge against him. It read “This is the king of the Jews.”
39 One of the criminals hanging next to Jesus insulted him: “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us!”
40 Responding, the other criminal spoke harshly to him, “Don’t you fear God, seeing that you’ve also been sentenced to die? 41 We are rightly condemned, for we are receiving the appropriate sentence 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 replied, “I assure you that today you will be with me in paradise.”
Jesus’ death
44 It was now about noon, and darkness covered the whole earth until about three o’clock, 45 while the sun stopped shining. Then the curtain in the sanctuary tore down the middle. 46 Crying out in a loud voice, Jesus said, “Father, into your hands I entrust my life.”[c] After he said this, he breathed for the last time.
47 When the centurion saw what happened, he praised God, saying, “It’s really true: this man was righteous.” 48 All the crowds who had come together to see this event returned to their homes beating their chests after seeing what had happened. 49 And everyone who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance observing these things.
Jesus’ burial
50 Now there was a man named Joseph who was a member of the council. He was a good and righteous man. 51 He hadn’t agreed with the plan and actions of the council. He was from the Jewish city of Arimathea and eagerly anticipated God’s kingdom. 52 This man went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 53 Taking it down, he wrapped it in a linen cloth and laid it in a tomb carved out of the rock, in which no one had ever been buried. 54 It was the Preparation Day for the Sabbath, and the Sabbath was quickly approaching. 55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph. They saw the tomb and how Jesus’ body was laid in it, 56 then they went away and prepared fragrant spices and perfumed oils. They rested on the Sabbath, in keeping with the commandment.
