路加福音 23:1-56

在彼拉多面前受审

1于是,众人动身把耶稣押到彼拉多那里, 2指控祂说:“这人蛊惑民心,禁止百姓向凯撒纳税,又说自己是基督,是君王。”

3彼拉多问耶稣:“你是犹太人的王吗?”

耶稣回答说:“如你所言。”

4彼拉多转过身来,对祭司长和百姓宣布:“我查不出这人有什么罪。” 5但他们坚持说:“这个人从加利利开始一直到这里,在犹太地区四处传道,煽动民心。”

6彼拉多听后,问道:“祂是加利利人吗?” 7他得知耶稣来自分封王希律的辖区后,便把耶稣送交希律希律刚巧在耶路撒冷

在希律面前受辱

8希律见到耶稣,十分高兴,因为他听过耶稣的事,早就想见祂,希望看祂行神迹。 9他问了耶稣许多问题,耶稣却一言不发。 10祭司长和律法教师站在那里极力地指控耶稣。

11希律和他的卫兵嘲弄侮辱耶稣,给祂穿上华丽的袍子,把祂押回彼拉多那里。 12希律彼拉多向来互相敌视,但在那一天竟化敌为友。

无辜被判死罪

13彼拉多召来祭司长、官长和百姓, 14对他们说:“你们带这个人来,指控祂煽动百姓造反,我当着你们的面审问了祂,却查不出祂有任何你们指控祂的罪。 15希律也查不出祂有什么罪,所以把祂送回来了。可见,这人并没有犯什么该死的罪。 16因此,我要惩戒祂,然后释放祂。” 17每逢逾越节,总督总是按惯例给他们释放一个囚犯。23:17 有古卷无“每逢逾越节,总督总是按惯例为他们释放一个囚犯。”

18这时,众人齐声呼喊:“杀掉祂!释放巴拉巴!” 19巴拉巴是因在城里叛乱杀人而被下在监里的。

20彼拉多想释放耶稣,便劝解他们。 21但他们一直喊:“把祂钉在十字架上!把祂钉在十字架上!”

22彼拉多第三次问百姓:“为什么?祂犯了什么罪?我找不出该处死祂的罪证。因此,我要惩戒祂,然后释放祂。”

23众人却继续大声喊叫,执意要求把耶稣钉在十字架上。最后,他们的声势占了上风。 24于是,彼拉多依照他们的要求, 25释放了叛乱杀人的囚犯巴拉巴,并把耶稣交给他们任意处置。

钉十字架

26他们带耶稣出去的时候,抓住从乡下来的古利奈西门,让他背着十字架跟在耶稣后面。

27有一大群人跟在耶稣后面,其中有不少妇女为耶稣伤心痛哭。 28耶稣转过身来,对她们说:“耶路撒冷的女儿啊,不要为我哭,为你们自己和你们的儿女哭吧! 29因为日子快到了,人们将说,‘不曾生育、不曾怀孕、不曾哺乳的女子有福了!’ 30到时候,人们会向大山说,‘倒在我们身上吧!’又会对小山说,‘遮盖我们吧!’ 31树木青葱的时候,他们尚且做这些事,树木枯干的时候,又会怎样呢?23:31 此句或译“他们尚且如此对待青葱的树木,将来又会怎样对待枯干的树木呢?”

32当时有两个罪犯和耶稣一同被押去受刑。 33他们到了一个叫“髑髅”的地方,便把耶稣钉在十字架上,又将两个罪犯分别钉在祂左右两边。

34耶稣祷告说:“父啊,赦免他们!因为他们不知道自己在做什么。”士兵抽签分了耶稣的衣裳。

35百姓站着观看,官长嘲笑耶稣说:“祂救了别人,如果祂是上帝所选立的基督,让祂救自己吧!”

36士兵们也戏弄祂,拿了些酸酒上前给祂喝, 37又说:“如果你是犹太人的王,救救自己呀!”

38耶稣上方有一块牌子,上面写着:“这是犹太人的王”。

39跟耶稣同钉十字架的一个罪犯也讥笑耶稣,说:“你不是基督吗?救你自己和我们呀!”

40另一个罪犯却责备他说:“你同样是受刑的,难道不怕上帝吗? 41我们是罪有应得,但这个人没有犯过罪。” 42他随即恳求耶稣:“耶稣啊,当你来执掌王权的时候,请你记得我。”

43耶稣对他说:“我实在告诉你,今天你要和我一起在乐园里了。”

耶稣之死

44那时大约是正午,黑暗笼罩着整个大地,一直到下午三点, 45太阳黯然无光。忽然挂在圣殿里的幔子从中间裂成两半。 46耶稣大声喊着说:“父啊,我将我的灵魂交在你手中。”说完,就断气了。

47百夫长见此情形,便赞美上帝,说:“这人的确是个义人。”

48围观的人见状,无不捶胸顿足黯然离去。 49耶稣熟识的人和从加利利跟着祂来的妇女们都站在远处观看。

耶稣的安葬

50有一位名叫约瑟的公会议员心地善良、为人正直, 51住在犹太地区的亚利马太城,一直在等候上帝国的降临。他并不苟同公会的决定。 52他去求见彼拉多,要求领取耶稣的遗体。 53他把耶稣的遗体从十字架上取下来,用细麻布裹好,然后安放在一个从岩壁上凿出的新墓穴里。 54当天是预备日,安息日快到了。

55和耶稣一起从加利利来的妇女跟在约瑟后面,看到了耶稣的坟墓,并且看到祂的遗体被安放好之后, 56便回家去预备香料和膏油。安息日到了,她们按律法的规定休息了一天。

New International Reader’s Version

Luke 23:1-56

1Then the whole group got up and led Jesus off to Pilate. 2They began to bring charges against Jesus. They said, “We have found this man misleading our people. He is against paying taxes to Caesar. And he claims to be Messiah, a king.”

3So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

“You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4Then Pilate spoke to the chief priests and the crowd. He announced, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5But they kept it up. They said, “His teaching stirs up the people all over Judea. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here.”

6When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was from Galilee. 7He learned that Jesus was from Herod’s area of authority. So Pilate sent Jesus to Herod. At that time Herod was also in Jerusalem.

8When Herod saw Jesus, he was very pleased. He had been wanting to see Jesus for a long time. He had heard much about him. He hoped to see Jesus perform a sign of some kind. 9Herod asked him many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer. 10The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there. With loud shouts they brought charges against him. 11Herod and his soldiers laughed at him and made fun of him. They dressed him in a beautiful robe. Then they sent him back to Pilate. 12That day Herod and Pilate became friends. Before this time they had been enemies.

13Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers and the people. 14He said to them, “You brought me this man. You said he was turning the people against the authorities. I have questioned him in front of you. I have found no basis for your charges against him. 15Herod hasn’t either. So he sent Jesus back to us. As you can see, Jesus has done nothing that is worthy of death. 16-17So I will just have him whipped and let him go.”

18But the whole crowd shouted, “Kill this man! But let Barabbas go!” 19Barabbas had been thrown into prison. He had taken part in a struggle in the city against the authorities. He had also committed murder.

20Pilate wanted to let Jesus go. So he made an appeal to the crowd again. 21But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”

22Pilate spoke to them for the third time. “Why?” he asked. “What wrong has this man done? I have found no reason to have him put to death. So I will just have him whipped and let him go.”

23But with loud shouts they kept calling for Jesus to be crucified. The people’s shouts won out. 24So Pilate decided to give them what they wanted. 25He set free the man they asked for. The man had been thrown in prison for murder and for fighting against the authorities. Pilate handed Jesus over to them so they could carry out their plans.

Jesus Is Nailed to a Cross

26As the soldiers led Jesus away, they took hold of Simon. Simon was from Cyrene. He was on his way in from the country. They put a wooden cross on his shoulders. Then they made him carry it behind Jesus. 27A large number of people followed Jesus. Some were women whose hearts were filled with sorrow. They cried loudly because of him. 28Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me. Weep for yourselves and for your children. 29The time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the women who can’t have children! Blessed are those who never gave birth or nursed babies!’ 30It is written,

“ ‘The people will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!”

They’ll say to the hills, “Cover us!” ’ (Hosea 10:8)

31People do these things when trees are green. So what will happen when trees are dry?”

32Two other men were also led out with Jesus to be killed. Both of them had broken the law. 33The soldiers brought them to the place called the Skull. There they nailed Jesus to the cross. He hung between the two criminals. One was on his right and one was on his left. 34Jesus said, “Father, forgive them. They don’t know what they are doing.” The soldiers divided up his clothes by casting lots.

35The people stood there watching. The rulers even made fun of Jesus. They said, “He saved others. Let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.”

36The soldiers also came up and poked fun at him. They offered him wine vinegar. 37They said, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.”

38A written sign had been placed above him. It read,

This is the King of the Jews.

39One of the criminals hanging there made fun of Jesus. He said, “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself! Save us!”

40But the other criminal scolded him. “Don’t you have any respect for God?” he said. “Remember, you are under the same sentence of death. 41We are being punished fairly. We are getting just what our actions call for. But this man hasn’t done anything wrong.”

42Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

43Jesus answered him, “What I’m about to tell you is true. Today you will be with me in paradise.”

Jesus Dies

44It was now about noon. Then darkness covered the whole land until three o’clock. 45The sun had stopped shining. The temple curtain was torn in two. 46Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my life.” After he said this, he took his last breath.

47The Roman commander saw what had happened. He praised God and said, “Jesus was surely a man who did what was right.” 48The people had gathered to watch this sight. When they saw what happened, they felt very sad. Then they went away. 49But all those who knew Jesus stood not very far away, watching these things. They included the women who had followed him from Galilee.

Jesus Is Buried

50A man named Joseph was a member of the Jewish Council. He was a good and honest man. 51Joseph had not agreed with what the leaders had decided and done. He was from Arimathea, a town in Judea. He himself was waiting for God’s kingdom. 52Joseph went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 53Joseph took it down and wrapped it in linen cloth. Then he placed it in a tomb cut in the rock. No one had ever been buried there. 54It was Preparation Day. The Sabbath day was about to begin.

55The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph. They saw the tomb and how Jesus’ body was placed in it. 56Then they went home. There they prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath day in order to obey the Law.
