耶稣在彼拉多面前受审

15 清早,祭司长、长老、律法教师和全公会的人商定后,便把耶稣绑起来押送到彼拉多那里。

彼拉多问耶稣:“你是犹太人的王吗?”

耶稣回答说:“如你所言。”

祭司长控告耶稣许多罪。

彼拉多又问道:“你看,他们控告你这么多,你都不回答吗?”

耶稣仍旧一言不发,彼拉多感到惊奇。

每年逾越节的时候,彼拉多都会照惯例按犹太人的要求释放一个囚犯。 那时,有一个囚犯名叫巴拉巴,与其他作乱时杀过人的囚犯关在一起。 百姓聚来,要求彼拉多照惯例释放囚犯。

彼拉多问:“你们要我为你们释放犹太人的王吗?” 10 因为他知道祭司长把耶稣押来是出于妒忌。 11 但祭司长却煽动百姓,叫他们要求彼拉多释放巴拉巴。

12 彼拉多只好问:“那么,这位你们称之为犹太人之王的,我如何处置呢?”

13 他们喊着说:“把祂钉在十字架上!”

14 彼拉多问:“为什么?祂犯了什么罪?”

他们却更大声地喊:“把祂钉在十字架上!”

15 为了取悦众人,彼拉多释放了巴拉巴,命人将耶稣鞭打后带出去钉十字架。

耶稣受辱

16 于是,卫兵把耶稣带进总督府的院子,集合了全营的兵。 17 他们给祂穿上紫袍,用荆棘编成王冠戴在祂头上, 18 向祂行礼,并喊着说:“犹太人的王万岁!” 19 他们用苇秆打祂的头,向祂吐唾沫,跪拜祂。 20 戏弄完了,就脱去祂的紫袍,给祂穿上原来的衣服,押祂出去钉十字架。

钉十字架

21 亚历山大和鲁孚的父亲古利奈人西门从乡下来,途经那地方,卫兵就强迫他背耶稣的十字架。 22 他们把耶稣带到各各他——意思是“髑髅地”, 23 拿没药调和的酒给祂喝,但祂不肯喝。 24 他们把耶稣钉在十字架上,还抽签分祂的衣服。 25 他们钉祂十字架的时间是在上午九点钟。 26 祂的罪状牌上写着“犹太人的王”。

27 他们还把两个强盗钉在十字架上,一个在祂右边,一个在祂左边, 28 这应验了圣经的话:“祂被列在罪犯中。” 29 过路的人都嘲笑祂,摇着头说:“哈,你这要把圣殿拆毁又在三天内重建的人啊, 30 救救你自己,从十字架上下来吧!”

31 祭司长和律法教师也嘲讽说:“祂救了别人,却救不了自己! 32 以色列的王基督,现在从十字架上下来吧!让我们看看,我们就信了!”与祂同钉十字架的强盗也对祂出言不逊。

耶稣之死

33 正午时分,黑暗笼罩着整个大地,一直到下午三点。 34 大约在三点,耶稣大声呼喊:“以罗伊,以罗伊,拉马撒巴各大尼?”意思是:“我的上帝,我的上帝,你为什么离弃我?”

35 有些站在旁边的人听见了,就说:“听,祂在呼叫以利亚。”

36 有人跑去把一块海绵蘸满酸酒,绑在苇秆上送给祂喝,说:“等等,让我们看看以利亚会不会救祂下来。”

37 耶稣大叫一声,就断了气。 38 圣殿的幔子从上到下裂成两半。 39 站在对面的百夫长看见耶稣喊叫[a]断气的情形,便说:“这人真是上帝的儿子!”

40 有些妇女在远处观看,其中有抹大拉的玛丽亚、小雅各和约西的母亲玛丽亚并撒罗米。 41 耶稣在加利利时,她们已经跟随祂、服侍祂了。此外还有好些跟着祂上耶路撒冷的妇女。

安葬耶稣

42 那天是犹太人的预备日,也就是安息日的前一天。傍晚, 43 亚利马太人约瑟鼓起勇气去见彼拉多,要求领取耶稣的遗体。他是一位德高望重的公会议员,一位等候上帝国降临的人。 44 彼拉多听见耶稣已经死了,十分惊讶,便把百夫长召来问个明白, 45 得知耶稣确实已死,便将耶稣的遗体交给约瑟。

46 约瑟把耶稣的遗体取下来,用买来的细麻布裹好,安放在一个在岩壁上凿出的墓穴里,又滚来一块大石头堵住洞口。 47 抹大拉的玛丽亚和约西的母亲玛丽亚都亲眼看到了安葬耶稣的地方。

Jesus Taken to Pilate

15 And as soon as morning came, after[a] formulating a plan, the chief priests, with the elders and scribes and the whole Sanhedrin, tied up Jesus, led him[b] away, and handed him[c] over to Pilate. And Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” And he answered him and[d] said, “You say so.” And the chief priests began to accuse[e] him of many things. So Pilate asked him again, saying, “Do you not answer anything? See how many charges[f] they are bringing against you!” But Jesus did not answer anything further, so that Pilate was astonished.

Pilate Releases Barabbas

Now at each feast he customarily released[g] for them one prisoner whom they requested. And the one named Barabbas[h] was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder in the rebellion. And the crowd came up and[i] began to ask him to do as he customarily did[j] for them. So Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?” 10 (For he realized that the chief priests had handed him over because of envy.) 11 But the chief priests incited the crowd so that he would release for them Barabbas[k] instead. 12 So Pilate answered and said to them again, “Then what do you want me to do with the one whom you call the king of the Jews?” 13 And they shouted again, “Crucify him!” 14 And Pilate said to them, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they shouted even louder, “Crucify him!”

15 So Pilate, because he[l] wanted to satisfy[m] the crowd, released for them Barabbas. And after[n] he had Jesus flogged, he handed him[o] over so that he could be crucified.

Jesus Is Mocked

16 So the soldiers led him away into the palace (that is, the governor’s residence) and called together the whole cohort. 17 And they put a purple cloak on him, and after[p] weaving a crown of thorns they placed it[q] on him. 18 And they began to greet him, “Hail, king of the Jews!” 19 And they repeatedly struck[r] him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and they knelt down[s] and[t] did obeisance to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes[u] on him, and they led him out so that they could crucify him.

Jesus Is Crucified

21 And they forced a certain man who was passing by, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus), who was coming from the country, to carry his cross. 22 And they brought him to the place Golgotha (which is translated “Place of a Skull”). 23 And they attempted to give[v] him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him and divided his clothes among themselves[w] by[x] casting lots for them to see who should take what. 25 Now it was the third hour when they crucified him. 26 And the inscription of the charge against him was written, “The king of the Jews.” 27 And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.[y] 29 And those who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! The one who would destroy the temple and rebuild it[z] in three days, 30 save yourself by[aa] coming down from the cross!” 31 In the same way also the chief priests, along with the scribes, were mocking him[ab] to one another, saying, “He saved others; he is not able to save himself! 32 Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe! Even those who were crucified with him were reviling him.

Jesus Dies on the Cross

33 And when[ac] the sixth hour came, darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which is translated, “My God, my God, why[ad] have you forsaken me?”)[ae] 35 And some of the bystanders, when they[af] heard it,[ag] said, “Behold, he is summoning Elijah!” 36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it[ah] on a reed, and[ai] gave it[aj] to him to drink, saying, “Leave him[ak] alone! Let us see if Elijah is coming to take him down.” 37 But Jesus uttered a loud cry and[al] expired. 38 And the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 And when[am] the centurion who was standing opposite him saw that he expired like this, he said, “Truly this man was God’s Son!” 40 And there were also women observing from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger[an] and Joses,[ao] and Salome, 41 who used to follow[ap] him and serve him when he was in Galilee, and many other women who went up with him to Jerusalem.

Jesus Is Buried

42 And when it[aq] was already evening, since it was the day of preparation (that is, the day before the Sabbath), 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the council who was also himself looking forward to[ar] the kingdom of God, came acting courageously and[as] went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 And Pilate was surprised that he was already dead, and summoning the centurion, asked him whether he had died already. 45 And when he[at] learned of it[au] from the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph. 46 And after[av] purchasing a linen cloth and[aw] taking him down, he wrapped him[ax] in the linen cloth and placed him in a tomb that had been cut from the rock. And he rolled a stone over the entrance of the tomb. 47 Now Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was placed.

Jesus Before Pilate(A)

15 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law(B) and the whole Sanhedrin,(C) made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.(D)

“Are you the king of the Jews?”(E) asked Pilate.

“You have said so,” Jesus replied.

The chief priests accused him of many things. So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”

But Jesus still made no reply,(F) and Pilate was amazed.

Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested. A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.

“Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”(G) asked Pilate, 10 knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas(H) instead.

12 “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.

13 “Crucify him!” they shouted.

14 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.

But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”

15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged,(I) and handed him over to be crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus(J)

16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace(K) (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18 And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!”(L) 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out(M) to crucify him.

The Crucifixion of Jesus(N)

21 A certain man from Cyrene,(O) Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus,(P) was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.(Q) 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh,(R) but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots(S) to see what each would get.

25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. 26 The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.(T)

27 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. [28] [a] 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(U) and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(V) 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!” 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him(W) among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah,(X) this king of Israel,(Y) come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

The Death of Jesus(Z)

33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.(AA) 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[b](AB)

35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”

36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar,(AC) put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.

37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.(AD)

38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.(AE) 39 And when the centurion,(AF) who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,[c] he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”(AG)

40 Some women were watching from a distance.(AH) Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph,[d] and Salome.(AI) 41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.(AJ)

The Burial of Jesus(AK)

42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath).(AL) So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council,(AM) who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God,(AN) went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 45 When he learned from the centurion(AO) that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.(AP) 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph(AQ) saw where he was laid.
