耶穌在彼拉多面前受審

15 清早,祭司長、長老、律法教師和全公會的人商定後,便把耶穌綁起來押送到彼拉多那裡。

彼拉多問耶穌:「你是猶太人的王嗎?」

耶穌回答說:「如你所言。」

祭司長控告耶穌許多罪。

彼拉多又問道:「你看,他們控告你這麼多,你都不回答嗎?」

耶穌仍舊一言不發,彼拉多感到驚奇。

每年逾越節的時候,彼拉多都會照慣例按猶太人的要求釋放一個囚犯。 那時,有一個囚犯名叫巴拉巴,與其他作亂時殺過人的囚犯關在一起。 百姓聚來,要求彼拉多照慣例釋放囚犯。

彼拉多問:「你們要我為你們釋放猶太人的王嗎?」 10 因為他知道祭司長把耶穌押來是出於妒忌。 11 但祭司長卻煽動百姓,叫他們要求彼拉多釋放巴拉巴。

12 彼拉多只好問:「那麼,這位你們稱之為猶太人之王的,我如何處置呢?」

13 他們喊著說:「把祂釘在十字架上!」

14 彼拉多問:「為什麼?祂犯了什麼罪?」

他們卻更大聲地喊:「把祂釘在十字架上!」

15 為了取悅眾人,彼拉多釋放了巴拉巴,命人將耶穌鞭打後帶出去釘十字架。

耶穌受辱

16 於是,衛兵把耶穌帶進總督府的院子,集合了全營的兵。 17 他們給祂穿上紫袍,用荊棘編成王冠戴在祂頭上, 18 向祂行禮,並喊著說:「猶太人的王萬歲!」 19 他們用葦稈打祂的頭,向祂吐唾沫,跪拜祂。 20 戲弄完了,就脫去祂的紫袍,給祂穿上原來的衣服,押祂出去釘十字架。

釘十字架

21 亞歷山大和魯孚的父親古利奈人西門從鄉下來,途經那地方,衛兵就強迫他背耶穌的十字架。 22 他們把耶穌帶到各各他——意思是「髑髏地」, 23 拿沒藥調和的酒給祂喝,但祂不肯喝。 24 他們把耶穌釘在十字架上,還抽籤分祂的衣服。 25 他們釘祂十字架的時間是在上午九點鐘。 26 祂的罪狀牌上寫著「猶太人的王」。

27 他們還把兩個強盜釘在十字架上,一個在祂右邊,一個在祂左邊, 28 這應驗了聖經的話:「祂被列在罪犯中。」 29 過路的人都嘲笑祂,搖著頭說:「哈,你這要把聖殿拆毀又在三天內重建的人啊, 30 救救你自己,從十字架上下來吧!」

31 祭司長和律法教師也嘲諷說:「祂救了別人,卻救不了自己! 32 以色列的王基督,現在從十字架上下來吧!讓我們看看,我們就信了!」與祂同釘十字架的強盜也對祂出言不遜。

耶穌之死

33 正午時分,黑暗籠罩著整個大地,一直到下午三點。 34 大約在三點,耶穌大聲呼喊:「以羅伊,以羅伊,拉馬撒巴各大尼?」意思是:「我的上帝,我的上帝,你為什麼離棄我?」

35 有些站在旁邊的人聽見了,就說:「聽,祂在呼叫以利亞。」

36 有人跑去把一塊海綿蘸滿酸酒,綁在葦稈上送給祂喝,說:「等等,讓我們看看以利亞會不會救祂下來。」

37 耶穌大叫一聲,就斷了氣。 38 聖殿的幔子從上到下裂成兩半。 39 站在對面的百夫長看見耶穌喊叫[a]斷氣的情形,便說:「這人真是上帝的兒子!」

40 有些婦女在遠處觀看,其中有抹大拉的瑪麗亞、小雅各和約西的母親瑪麗亞並撒羅米。 41 耶穌在加利利時,她們已經跟隨祂、服侍祂了。此外還有好些跟著祂上耶路撒冷的婦女。

安葬耶穌

42 那天是猶太人的預備日,也就是安息日的前一天。傍晚, 43 亞利馬太人約瑟鼓起勇氣去見彼拉多,要求領取耶穌的遺體。他是一位德高望重的公會議員,一位等候上帝國降臨的人。 44 彼拉多聽見耶穌已經死了,十分驚訝,便把百夫長召來問個明白, 45 得知耶穌確實已死,便將耶穌的遺體交給約瑟。

46 約瑟把耶穌的遺體取下來,用買來的細麻布裹好,安放在一個在岩壁上鑿出的墓穴裡,又滾來一塊大石頭堵住洞口。 47 抹大拉的瑪麗亞和約西的母親瑪麗亞都親眼看到了安葬耶穌的地方。

  1. 15·39 有些古卷無「喊叫」二字。

耶稣被押交彼拉多(A)

15 一到清晨,祭司长和长老、经学家以及公议会全体一致议决,把耶稣绑起来,押去交给彼拉多。 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”)。” 祭司长控告了他许多事。 彼拉多又问他:“你看,他们控告你这么多的事!你甚么都不回答吗?” 耶稣还是一言不答,使彼拉多非常惊奇。

彼拉多判耶稣钉十字架(27:15~26;(B)

每逢这节期,彼拉多按着众人所要求的,照例给他们释放一个囚犯。 有一个人名叫巴拉巴,和作乱的人囚禁在一起,他们作乱的时候,曾杀过人。 群众上去,要求彼拉多援例给他们办理。 彼拉多回答他们:“你们要我给你们释放这个犹太人的王吗?” 10 他知道祭司长是因为嫉妒才把耶稣交了来。 11 祭司长却煽动群众,宁可要总督释放巴拉巴给他们。 12 彼拉多又对他们说:“那么,你们称为犹太人的王的,你们要我怎样处置他呢?” 13 他们就喊着说:“把他钉十字架!” 14 彼拉多说:“他作了甚么恶事呢?”众人却更加大声喊叫:“把他钉十字架!” 15 彼拉多有意讨好群众,就释放了巴拉巴给他们,把耶稣鞭打了,交给他们钉十字架。

士兵戏弄耶稣(C)

16 士兵把耶稣带进总督府的院子里,召集了全队士兵。 17 他们给他披上紫色的外袍,又用荆棘编成冠冕给他戴上; 18 就向他祝贺说:“犹太人的王万岁!” 19 又用一根芦苇打他的头,向他吐唾沫,并且跪下来拜他。 20 他们戏弄完了,就把他的紫色的外袍脱下,给他穿回自己的衣服,带他出去,要钉十字架。

耶稣被钉十字架(D)

21 有一个古利奈人西门,就是亚历山大和鲁孚的父亲,从乡下来到,经过那里,士兵就强迫他背着耶稣的十字架。 22 他们把耶稣带到各各他地方(这地名译出来就是“髑髅地”), 23 拿没药调和的酒给他,他却不接受。 24 他们就把他钉了十字架;又抽签分他的衣服,看谁得着甚么。 25 他们钉他十字架的时候,是在上午九点钟。 26 耶稣的罪状牌上写着“犹太人的王”。 27 他们又把两个强盗和他一同钉十字架,一个在右,一个在左。(有些抄本有第28节:“这就应验了经上所说的:‘他和不法者同列。’”) 29 过路的人讥笑他,摇着头说:“哼,你这个要拆毁圣所,三日之内又把它建造起来的, 30 从十字架上把自己救下来吧!” 31 祭司长和经学家也同样讥笑他,彼此说:“他救了别人,却不能救自己; 32 以色列的王基督啊,现在可以从十字架上下来,让我们看见就信吧。”那和他同钉十字架的人也侮辱他。

耶稣死时的情形(E)

33 从正午到下午三点钟,遍地都黑暗了。 34 下午三点的时候,耶稣大声呼号:“以罗伊,以罗伊,拉马撒巴各大尼?”这句话译出来就是:“我的 神,我的 神,你为甚么离弃我?” 35 有些站在旁边的人听见了就说:“看,他呼叫以利亚呢。” 36 有一个人跑去拿海绵浸满了酸酒,绑在芦苇上,递给他喝,说:“等一等,我们看看以利亚来不来救他。” 37 耶稣大叫一声,气就断了。 38 圣所里的幔子,从上到下裂成两半。 39 站在他对面的百夫长,看见他这样断气,就说:“这人真是 神的儿子!” 40 也有些妇女远远地观看,她们之中有抹大拉的马利亚,小雅各和约西的母亲马利亚,以及撒罗米。 41 这些妇女,当耶稣在加利利的时候,就一直跟随他、服事他。此外,还有许多和他一同上耶路撒冷的妇女。

耶稣葬在坟墓里(F)

42 到了晚上,因为是预备日,就是安息日的前一日, 43 一个一向等候 神国度的尊贵的议员,亚利马太的约瑟来了,就放胆地进去见彼拉多,求领耶稣的身体。 44 彼拉多惊讶耶稣已经死了,就叫百夫长前来,问他耶稣是不是死了很久。 45 他从百夫长知道了实情以后,就把尸体给了约瑟。 46 约瑟买了细麻布,把耶稣取下,用细麻布裹好,安放在一个从盘石凿出来的坟墓里,又辊过一块石头来挡住墓门。 47 抹大拉的马利亚和约西的母亲马利亚都看见安放他的地方。

Jesus Before Pilate

15 (A)And early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole (B)Sanhedrin, immediately held council; and binding Jesus, led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate. (C)And Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He answered him and *said, “You yourself say it.” And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things. Then Pilate was questioning Him again, saying, “You answer nothing? See how many accusations they bring against You!” But Jesus (D)made no further answer; so Pilate marveled.

(E)Now at the feast he used to release for them any one prisoner whom they requested. And the man named Barabbas had been imprisoned with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the insurrection. And the crowd went up and began asking him to do as he had been accustomed to do for them. And Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?” 10 For he was aware that the chief priests had delivered Him over because of envy. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd (F)to ask him to release Barabbas for them instead. 12 And answering again, Pilate was saying to them, “Then what shall I do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?” 13 And they shouted again, “Crucify Him!” 14 But Pilate was saying to them, “Why? What evil did He do?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify Him!” 15 And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus (G)scourged, he delivered Him over to be crucified.

Jesus Is Mocked

16 (H)So the soldiers took Him away into (I)the [a]palace (that is, the [b]Praetorium), and they *called together the whole Roman [c](J)cohort. 17 And they *dressed Him up in purple, and after twisting a crown of thorns, they *put it on Him; 18 and they began to greet Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 And they kept beating His head with a [d]reed, and spitting on Him; and kneeling, they were bowing down before Him. 20 And after they had mocked Him, they took the purple robe off Him and put His own garments on Him. And they *led Him out to crucify Him.

21 (K)And they *pressed into service a passer-by coming from the countryside, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and (L)Rufus), to [e]carry His cross.

The Crucifixion

22 (M)Then they *brought Him to the place (N)Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. 23 And they tried to give Him (O)wine mixed with myrrh; but He did not take it. 24 And they *crucified Him, and *(P)divided up His garments among themselves, casting [f]lots for them to decide who should take what. 25 Now it was the [g](Q)third hour, and they crucified Him. 26 And the inscription of the charge against Him [h]read, “(R)THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

27 And they *crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and one on His left. 28 [i][And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And He was numbered with transgressors.”] 29 And those passing by were blaspheming Him, (S)shaking their heads, and saying, “Ha! You who are going to (T)destroy the [j]sanctuary and rebuild it in three days, 30 save Yourself by coming down from the cross!” 31 In the same way, mocking Him to one another, the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were saying, “(U)He saved others; [k]He cannot save Himself. 32 Let this [l]Christ, (V)the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” (W)Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.

33 (X)And when the [m](Y)sixth hour came, darkness [n]fell over the whole land until the [o](Z)ninth hour. 34 And at the (AA)ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, (AB)Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” 35 And when some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, “Look, He is calling for Elijah.” 36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, “[p]Let us see whether Elijah will come to take Him down.” 37 (AC)And Jesus, uttering a loud cry, breathed His last. 38 (AD)And the veil of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 (AE)And when the centurion, who was standing [q]right in front of Him, saw [r]the way He breathed His last, he said, “Truly this man was God’s Son!”

40 (AF)And there were also some women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James (AG)the [s]Less and Joses, and (AH)Salome, 41 who, when He was in Galilee, were following Him and [t](AI)serving Him; and there were many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

Jesus Is Buried

42 (AJ)And when evening had already come, because it was [u](AK)Preparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathea came, a (AL)prominent [v]Council member, who himself was (AM)waiting for the kingdom of God; and he (AN)gathered up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 And Pilate wondered if He had died by this time, and summoning the centurion, he questioned him as to whether He already died. 45 And ascertaining this from (AO)the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. 46 And when Joseph had bought a linen cloth and took Him down, he wrapped Him in the linen cloth and laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out in the rock. And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 47 (AP)And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were looking on to see where He had been laid.
