1 那时, 彼拉多吩咐人把耶稣拉去鞭打。 2 士兵用荆棘编成冠冕, 戴在他的头上, 又给他披上紫色的外袍, 3 然后来到他面前, 说: "犹太人的王万岁! "并且用手掌打他。 4 彼拉多再次出到外面, 对犹太人说: "看! 我把他带出来给你们, 让你们知道我查不出他有什么罪。" 5 于是耶稣出来, 戴着荆棘的冠冕, 披着紫色的外袍。彼拉多对他们说: "看, 这个人! " 6 祭司长和差役看见耶稣, 就喊叫说: "把他钉十字架! 把他钉十字架! "彼拉多对他们说: "你们自己把他带去钉十字架吧! 我查不出他有什么罪。" 7 犹太人回答: "我们有律法, 根据那律法, 他是该死的, 因为他自命为 神的儿子。" 8 彼拉多听见这话, 就更加害怕, 9 又进了官邸, 问耶稣: "你究竟是从哪里来的?"耶稣却不回答他。 10 彼拉多对他说: "你不对我说话吗?你不知道我有权释放你, 也有权把你钉十字架吗?" 11 耶稣说: "如果不是从天上给你权柄, 你就无权办我; 因此, 把我交给你的那人, 罪更重了。" 12 从那时起, 彼拉多想释放耶稣; 可是犹太人却喊叫说: "如果你释放这个人, 就不是凯撒的忠臣了。凡是自命为王的, 就是与凯撒为敌。" 13 彼拉多听了这些话, 就把耶稣带到外面, 到了一个名叫"铺石地"(希伯来话叫加巴大)的地方, 就在那里开庭审问。 14 那天是逾越节的预备日, 约在正午的时候。彼拉多对犹太人说: "看, 你们的王! " 15 他们就喊叫起来: "除掉他! 除掉他! 把他钉十字架! "彼拉多问他们: "我可以把你们的王钉十字架吗?"祭司长回答: "除了凯撒, 我们没有王! " 16 于是彼拉多把耶稣交给他们去钉十字架。 17 他们把耶稣带去了。耶稣自己背着十字架出来, 到了一个名叫"髑髅"的地方, 希伯来话叫各各他。 18 他们就在那里把耶稣钉在十字架上; 和他一同钉十字架的, 还有两个人, 一边一个, 耶稣在中间。 19 彼拉多写了一个牌子, 放在十字架上头, 写的是: "犹太人的王拿撒勒人耶稣。" 20 有许多犹太人念了这牌子上所写的, 因为耶稣钉十字架的地方离城不远, 而且那牌子是用希伯来文、拉丁文和希腊文写的。 21 犹太人的祭司长对彼拉多说: "不要写‘犹太人的王’, 要写‘这个人自称: 我是犹太人的王’。" 22 彼拉多说: "我所写的, 我已经写了! " 23 士兵把耶稣钉了十字架之后, 就把他的衣服拿来, 分成四分, 每个兵一分。他们又拿他的内衣; 这内衣是没有缝的, 是从上到下整件织成的。 24 因此, 他们彼此说: "我们不要把它撕开, 我们来抽签吧, 看看是谁的。"这就应验了经上所说的: "他们分了我的外衣, 又为我的内衣抽签。"士兵果然这样作了。 25 站在耶稣十字架旁边的, 有他母亲和他母亲的姊妹, 还有高罗巴的妻子马利亚, 和抹大拉的马利亚。 26 耶稣看见母亲, 又看见他所爱的那门徒站在旁边, 就对母亲说: "母亲("母亲"原文作"妇人"), 看! 你的儿子。" 27 然后他对那门徒说: "看! 你的母亲。"从那时起, 那门徒就把她接到自己的家里去了。 28 这事以后, 耶稣知道一切都已经成就了, 为了要使经上的话应验, 就说: "我渴了。" 29 在那里有一个坛子, 盛满了酸酒, 他们就拿海绵浸了酸酒, 绑在牛膝草上, 送到他的口里。 30 耶稣尝了那酸酒, 说: "成了! "就低下头, 断了气。 31 因为那天是预备日, 为了要避免尸体在安息日留在十字架上(因为那安息日是个重要的日子), 犹太人就请求彼拉多打断那些被钉十字架的人的腿, 把他们拿下来。 32 于是士兵来了, 把和耶稣一同钉十字架的那两个人的腿都先后打断了。 33 他们来到耶稣那里, 看见他已经死了, 就没有打断他的腿。 34 但是有一个士兵用枪刺他的肋旁, 立刻有血和水流出来。 35 那看见这事的人已经作证了, 他的见证是真实的, 他也知道自己所说的是实在的, 使你们也相信。 36 这些事的发生, 是要应验经上所说的: "他的骨头, 一根也不可折断。" 37 另有一处经文说: "他们要仰望自己所刺的人。" 38 这些事以后, 有一个亚利马太人约瑟来求彼拉多, 要领耶稣的身体; 他因为怕犹太人, 就暗暗地作耶稣的门徒。彼拉多批准了, 他便把耶稣的身体领去。 39 从前夜间来见耶稣的尼哥德慕也来了, 带着没药和沉香混合的香料, 约有三十二公斤。 40 他们领取了耶稣的身体, 照着犹太人的葬礼的规例, 用细麻布和香料把他裹好。 41 在耶稣钉十字架的地方, 有一个园子, 园里有一个新的墓穴, 是从来没有葬过人的。 42 因为那天是犹太人的预备日, 又因为那墓穴就在附近, 他们就把耶稣葬在那里。
1 Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge [him],2 and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place [it] on his head, and a purple garment they put around him,3 and said, `Hail! the king of the Jews;` and they were giving him slaps.4 Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and saith to them, `Lo, I do bring him to you without, that ye may know that in him I find no fault;`5 Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he saith to them, `Lo, the man!`6 When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers did see him, they cried out, saying, `Crucify, crucify;` Pilate saith to them, `Take ye him -- ye, and crucify; for I find no fault in him;`7 the Jews answered him, `We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.`8 When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid,9 and entered again to the praetorium, and saith to Jesus, `Whence art thou?` and Jesus gave him no answer.10 Pilate, therefore, saith to him, `To me dost thou not speak? hast thou not known that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?`11 Jesus answered, `Thou wouldst have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.`12 From this [time] was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, `If this one thou mayest release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, doth speak against Caesar.`13 Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus without -- and he sat down upon the tribunal -- to a place called, `Pavement,` and in Hebrew, Gabbatha;14 and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, `Lo, your king!`15 and they cried out, `Take away, take away, crucify him;` Pilate saith to them, `Your king shall I crucify?` the chief priests answered, `We have no king except Caesar.`16 Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led [him] away,17 and bearing his cross, he went forth to the place called [Place] of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha;18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this side, and on that side, and Jesus in the midst.19 And Pilate also wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross, and it was written, `Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews;`20 this title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because the place was nigh to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman.21 The chief priests of the Jews said, therefore, to Pilate, `Write not -- The king of the Jews, but that one said, I am king of the Jews;`22 Pilate answered, `What I have written, I have written.`23 The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout,24 they said, therefore, to one another, `We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;` that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, `They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;` the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.25 And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother`s sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene;26 Jesus, therefore, having seen [his] mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his mother, `Woman, lo, thy son;`27 afterward he saith to the disciple, `Lo, thy mother;` and from that hour the disciple took her to his own [home].28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, saith, `I thirst;`29 a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and they having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put [it] around a hyssop stalk, did put [it] to his mouth;30 when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, `It hath been finished;` and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit.31 The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one,) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they taken away.32 The soldiers, therefore, came, and of the first indeed they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him,33 and having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been dead, they did not break his legs;34 but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water;35 and he who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh, that ye also may believe.36 For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, `A bone of him shall not be broken;`37 and again another Writing saith, `They shall look to him whom they did pierce.`38 And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea -- being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews -- ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus,39 and Nicodemus also came -- who came unto Jesus by night at the first -- bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds.40 They took, therefore, the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial;41 and there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet laid;42 there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus.
