Luke 23

1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ a King. 3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it. 4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man. 5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place. 6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan. 7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him. 9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. 10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. 11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: 15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. 16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him. 17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) 18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: 19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) 20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. 21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. 22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. 23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. 24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. 25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. 26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. 28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. 29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. 30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? 32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. 33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. 35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God. 36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, 37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. 38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. 44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. 47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. 48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. 49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just: 51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathæa, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. 52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. 53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. 54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. 55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. 56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

耶稣被押交彼拉多（太27:1~2、11~14；可15:1~5；约18:28~38）

1 众人都起来，把耶稣押到彼拉多那里，2 控告他说："我们查出这个人煽惑我们的同胞，阻止纳税给凯撒，并且自称是基督，是王。"3 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"。"4 彼拉多对祭司长和众人说："我在这人身上，查不出有甚么罪。"5 但他们极力说："他在犹太全地教导人，煽动群众，从加利利直到这里。"

希律王藐视耶稣

6 彼拉多听见了，就问耶稣是不是加利利人。7 既然知道他是属于希律管辖的，就把他送回希律那里；那时希律正在耶路撒冷。8 希律看见耶稣，非常欢喜，因为他曾经听过耶稣的事，早就想要见他，希望看他行个神迹。9 于是他问了耶稣许多话，但耶稣甚么也不回答。10 祭司长和经学家站着，猛烈地控告他。11 希律和他的侍卫就藐视耶稣，戏弄他，给他穿上华丽的衣服，把他送回彼拉多那里。12 希律和彼拉多从前原是彼此为仇，在那一天就成了朋友。

彼拉多判耶稣钉十字架（太27:15~26；可15:6~15；约18:39~19:16）

13 彼拉多召集了祭司长、官长和民众，14 对他们说："你们把这人押到我这里来，说他煽惑群众，我已经在你们面前审讯过，在他身上一点也找不到你们控告他的罪状，15 连希律也找不到，又把他送回我这里，可见他没有作过该死的事。16 我要责打他，然后把他释放。"*有些抄本有第17节："每逢节期，他必须照例给他们释放一个囚犯。"也有些抄本把这句放在第19节后18 众人齐声喊叫："除掉这个人，给我们释放巴拉巴！"19 这巴拉巴是因为在城里作乱杀人而入狱的。20 彼拉多再向他们说明，愿意释放耶稣。21 然而他们高声呼叫："把他钉十字架，把他钉十字架！"22 彼拉多第三次对他们说："这人作过甚么恶事呢？我在他身上找不出甚么该死的罪。所以我要责打他，然后把他释放。"23 但他们大声吵闹，要他把耶稣钉十字架，他们的声音就得了胜。24 彼拉多就宣判，照他们的要求，25 把他们所求那作乱杀人入狱的释放了，却把耶稣交出来，随他们的意思处理。

耶稣被钉十字架（太27:33~44；可15:21~32；约19:17~24）

26 他们把耶稣带走的时候，抓住了一个从乡下来的古利奈人西门，把十字架放在他身上，叫他背着跟在耶稣后面。27 一大群人跟随他，有些妇女为他捶胸痛哭。28 耶稣转过身来对她们说："耶路撒冷的女儿啊，不要为我哭，却要为你们自己和你们的儿女哭。29 日子将到，人必说：‘不生育的和没有怀过胎的，也没有哺养过婴儿的有福了。’

30 那时人要对大山说：

‘倒在我们身上！’

对小山说：

‘遮盖我们！’

31 他们在青绿的树上，既然这样作；在枯干的树上，又会怎样呢？"

32 他们另外带来两个犯人，和耶稣一同处死，33 到了那名叫"髑髅"的地方，就把耶稣钉在十字架上，也钉了那两个犯人，一左一右。34 耶稣说："父啊，赦免他们！因为他们不知道自己所作的是甚么。"士兵抽签，分了他的衣服。35 群众站着观看，官长们嗤笑说："他救了别人，如果他是基督，是　神所拣选的，让他救自己吧！"36 士兵也上前戏弄他，拿酸酒给他喝，37 说："如果你是犹太人的王，救你自己吧！"38 在耶稣的头以上有一个牌子写着："这是犹太人的王。"

39 悬挂着的犯人中，有一个侮辱他说："你不是基督吗？救你自己和我们吧！"40 另一个就应声责备他说："你是同样受刑的，还不惧怕　神吗？41 我们是罪有应得的。我们所受的与所作的相称，然而这个人并没有作过甚么不对的事。"42 他又对耶稣说："耶稣啊，你得国降临的时候，求你记念我。"43 耶稣对他说："我实在告诉你，今天你必定同我在乐园里了。"

耶稣死时的情形（太27:45~56；可15:33~41）

44 从大约正午直到下午三点钟，遍地都黑暗了。45 太阳没有光，圣所的幔子从当中裂开。46 耶稣大声呼叫："父啊，我把我的灵魂交在你手里。"说了这话，气就断了。47 百夫长看见所发生的事，就颂赞　神，说："这真是个义人！"48 聚集观看的群众，看见所发生的事，都捶着胸回去了。49 与耶稣熟悉的人，和从加利利跟随他来的妇女，都远远地站着，看这些事。

耶稣葬在坟墓里（太27:57~61；可15:42~47；约19:38~42）

50 有一个人名叫约瑟，是个议员，为人良善公义，51 是犹太地亚利马太城的人，一向等候　神的国，并不附和众人的计谋和行为。52 这人去见彼拉多，求领耶稣的身体。53 他把身体取下来，用细麻布裹好，放在从石头凿出来的坟墓里，这坟墓是从来没有葬过人的。54 那天是预备日，安息日就要开始，55 那些从加利利和耶稣一起来的妇女，跟着来了。她们看见了坟墓，和他的身体怎样安葬，56 就回去预备香料和香膏。

安息日，她们遵着诫命安息。
