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。

Jesús ante Pilato

15 Muy de mañana, los principales sacerdotes prepararon enseguida una reunión(A) con los ancianos, los escribas y todo el concilio[a](B); y atando a Jesús, le llevaron y le entregaron a Pilato. (C)Pilato le preguntó: ¿Eres tú el Rey de los judíos? Respondiendo Él, le dijo*: lo dices. Y los principales sacerdotes le acusaban de muchas cosas[b]. De nuevo Pilato le preguntó, diciendo: ¿No respondes nada? Mira de cuántas cosas te acusan. Pero Jesús no respondió nada más(D); de modo que Pilato estaba asombrado.

Jesús o Barrabás

(E)Ahora bien, en cada fiesta él acostumbraba soltarles un preso, el que ellos pidieran. Y uno llamado Barrabás había sido encarcelado con los sediciosos que habían cometido homicidio en la insurrección. Y subiendo la multitud, comenzó a pedirle que hiciera como siempre les había hecho. Entonces Pilato les contestó, diciendo: ¿Queréis que os suelte al Rey de los judíos? 10 Porque sabía que los principales sacerdotes le habían entregado por envidia. 11 Pero los principales sacerdotes incitaron a la multitud para que le pidiera que en vez de Jesús les soltara a Barrabás(F). 12 Y Pilato, tomando de nuevo la palabra, les decía: ¿Qué haré, entonces, con el que llamáis el Rey de los judíos? 13 Ellos le respondieron a gritos[c]: ¡Crucifícale! 14 Y Pilato les decía: ¿Por qué? ¿Qué mal ha hecho? Y ellos gritaban aún más: ¡Crucifícale! 15 Pilato, queriendo complacer a la multitud, les soltó a Barrabás; y después de hacer azotar a Jesús, le entregó para que fuera crucificado(G).

Los soldados se mofan de Jesús

16 (H)Entonces los soldados le llevaron dentro del palacio[d](I), es decir, al Pretorio, y convocaron* a toda la cohorte[e] romana(J). 17 Le vistieron* de púrpura, y después de tejer una corona de espinas, se la pusieron; 18 y comenzaron a vitorearle: ¡Salve, Rey de los judíos! 19 Le golpeaban la cabeza con una caña[f] y le escupían, y poniéndose de rodillas le hacían reverencias. 20 Y después de haberse burlado de Él, le quitaron la púrpura, le pusieron sus ropas y le sacaron* para crucificarle.

21 (K)Y obligaron* a uno que pasaba y que venía del campo, Simón de Cirene, el padre de Alejandro y Rufo, a que llevara la cruz de Jesús[g].

La crucifixión

22 (L)Le llevaron* al lugar llamado Gólgota, que traducido significa: Lugar de la Calavera(M). 23 Y trataron de darle vino mezclado con mirra, pero Él no lo tomó(N). 24 Cuando le crucificaron*, se repartieron* sus vestidos, echando suertes[h] sobre ellos para decidir lo que cada uno tomaría(O). 25 Era la hora tercera[i](P) cuando[j] le crucificaron. 26 Y la inscripción de la acusación contra Él decía[k]: EL REY DE LOS JUDÍOS(Q). 27 Crucificaron* con Él a dos ladrones; uno a su derecha y otro a su izquierda. 28 [l]Y se cumplió la Escritura que dice: Y con los transgresores fue contado. 29 Y los que pasaban le injuriaban, meneando la cabeza(R) y diciendo: ¡Bah! Tú que destruyes el templo y en tres días lo reedificas(S), 30 ¡sálvate a ti mismo descendiendo de la cruz! 31 De igual manera, también los principales sacerdotes junto con los escribas, burlándose de Él entre ellos, decían: A otros salvó, a sí mismo no puede salvarse[m](T). 32 Que este[n] Cristo, el Rey de Israel(U), descienda ahora de la cruz, para que veamos y creamos. Y los que estaban crucificados con Él también le insultaban(V).

Muerte de Jesús

33 (W)Cuando llegó la hora sexta[o], hubo oscuridad sobre toda la tierra hasta la hora novena[p](X). 34 Y a la hora novena(Y) Jesús exclamó con fuerte voz: Eloi, Eloi, ¿lema sabactani?, que traducido significa, Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has abandonado(Z)? 35 Algunos de los que estaban allí, al oírlo, decían: Mirad, a Elías llama. 36 Entonces uno corrió y empapó una esponja en vinagre, y poniéndola en una caña[q], le dio a beber, diciendo: Dejad, veamos si Elías viene a bajarle. 37 Y Jesús, dando un fuerte grito, expiró(AA). 38 Y el velo del templo se rasgó en dos, de arriba abajo(AB). 39 Viendo el centurión que estaba frente a Él, la manera en que[r] expiró, dijo: En verdad este hombre era Hijo de Dios[s](AC). 40 (AD)Había también unas mujeres mirando de lejos, entre las que estaban María Magdalena, María, la madre de Jacobo[t] el menor[u](AE) y de José, y Salomé(AF), 41 las cuales cuando Jesús estaba en Galilea, le seguían y le servían(AG); y había muchas otras que habían subido con Él a Jerusalén.

Sepultura de Jesús

42 (AH)Ya al atardecer, como era el día de la preparación(AI), es decir, la víspera del día de reposo, 43 vino José de Arimatea, miembro prominente del concilio(AJ), que también esperaba el reino de Dios(AK); y llenándose de valor, entró adonde estaba Pilato y le pidió el cuerpo de Jesús(AL). 44 Pilato se sorprendió de que ya hubiera muerto, y llamando al centurión, le preguntó si ya estaba muerto. 45 Y comprobando esto por medio del centurión(AM), le concedió el cuerpo a José, 46 quien compró un lienzo de lino, y bajándole de la cruz, le envolvió en el lienzo de lino y le puso en un sepulcro que había sido excavado en la roca; e hizo rodar una piedra a la entrada del sepulcro. 47 Y María Magdalena y María, la madre de José(AN), miraban para saber dónde le ponían.

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.
