路加福音 23

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：“他是加利利人吗？”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 希律和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，指控他煽动百姓造反，我当着你们的面审问了他，却查不出他有任何你们指控他的罪。15 希律也查不出他有什么罪，所以把他送回来了。可见，这人并没有犯什么该死的罪。16 因此，我要惩戒他，然后释放他。”17 每逢逾越节，总督总是按惯例给他们释放一个囚犯t。18 这时，众人齐声呼喊：“杀掉他！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：“把他钉在十字架上！把他钉在十字架上！”22 彼拉多第三次问百姓：“为什么？他犯了什么罪？我找不出该处死他的罪证。因此，我要惩戒他，然后释放他。”23 众人却继续大声喊叫，坚持要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人西门，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t。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：“他救了别人，如果他是上帝所选立的基督，让他救自己吧！”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 日头黯然无光。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。

Luke 23

Jesus Brought Before Pilate

1 Thent the whole group of them rose up and brought Jesust before Pilate.s2 Theyt began to accuses him, saying, “We found this man subvertingts our nation, forbiddingt us to pay the tribute taxt to Caesart and claiming that he himself is Christ,ts a king.”3 Sot Pilate asked Jesus,t “Are you the kings of the Jews?” He replied, “You say so.”s4 Thent Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for an accusationts against this man.”

5 But they persistedt in saying, “He incitess the people by teaching throughout all Judea. It started in Galilee and ended up here!”t

Jesus Brought Before Herod

6 Now when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.7 Whent he learned that he was from Herod’s jurisdiction,s he sent him over to Herod,s who also happened to be in Jerusalemss at that time.8 Whent Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had long desired to see him, because he had heard about him and was hoping to see him performt some miraculous sign.s9 Sot Herodt questioned him at considerable length; Jesust gave him no answer.10 The chief priests and the experts in the lawt were there, vehemently accusing him.s11 Even Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him. Then,t dressing him in elegant clothes,s Herodt sent him back to Pilate.

12 That very day Herod and Pilate became friends with each other,s for prior to this they had been enemies.t

Jesus Brought Before the Crowd

13 Thent Pilate called together the chief priests, thet rulers, and the people,14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was misleadingt the people. When I examined him before you, It did not find this man guiltyt of anything you accused him of doing.15 Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, he has done nothings deserving death.t

16 I will therefore have him floggedt and release him.”ss
18 But they all shouted out together,t “Take this mant away! Release Barabbas for us!”19 (Thist was a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrections started in the city, and for murder.)s20 Pilate addressed them once again because he wanteds to release Jesus.21 But they kept on shouting,t “Crucify, crucifyts him!”22 A third time he said to them, “Why? What wrong has he done? I have found him guiltyt of no crime deserving death.s I will therefore flogt him and release him.”23 But they were insistent,t demanding with loud shouts that he be crucified. And their shouts prevailed.24 Sot Pilates decidedt that their demand should be granted.

25 He released the man they asked for, who had been thrown in prison for insurrection and murder. But he handed Jesus overt to their will.s

The Crucifixion

26 Ast they led him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene,s who was coming in from the country.t They placed the cross on his back and made him carry it behind Jesus.t27 A great number of the people followed him, among them womens who were mourningt and wailing for him.28 But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem,ss do not weep for me, but weep for yourselvess and for your children.29 For this is certain:t The days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore children, and the breasts that never nursed!’ts30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains,s ‘Fall on us!’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us!’s

31 For if such things are donet when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”s
32 Two other criminalsss were also led away to be executed with him.33 Sot when they came to the place that is called “The Skull,”s they crucifieds him there, along with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.34 [But Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.”]s Thentthey threw dicetto divide his clothes.s35 The people also stood there watching, but the rulers ridiculedt him, saying, “He saved others. Let him saves himself ift he is the Christts of God, his chosen one!”36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine,s37 and saying, “Ift you are the king of the Jews, save yourself!”

38 There was also an inscriptions over him, “This is the king of the Jews.”
39 One of the criminals who was hanging there railed at him, saying, “Aren’tss you the Christ?ts Save yourself and us!”40 But the other rebuked him, saying,t “Don’tt you fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?t41 And we rightly so, for we are getting what we deserve for what we did, but this man has done nothings wrong.”42 Thent he said, “Jesus, remember mes when you come ins your kingdom.”

43 And Jesust said to him, “I tell you the truth,t todays you will be with me in paradise.”s
44 It was nowt about noon,t and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon,t45 because the sun’s light failed.ssss The temple curtaint was torn in two.

46 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!”s And after he said this he breathed his last.
47 Now when the centurions saw what had happened, he praised God and said, “Certainly this man was innocent!”ts48 And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts.s

49 And all those who knew Jesust stood at a distance, and the women who had followed him from Galilee sawt these things.

Jesus’ Burial

50 Nowt there was a man named Joseph who was a member of the council,t a good and righteous man.51 (Het had not consentedss to their plan and action.) Het was from the Judean townt of Arimathea, and was looking forward tot the kingdom of God.s52 He went to Pilate and asked for the bodys of Jesus.53 Thent he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth,t and placed itt in a tomb cut out of the rock,t where no one had yet been buried.st54 It was the day of preparations and the Sabbath was beginning.t55 Thet women who had accompanied Jesust from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it.

56 Thent they returned and prepared aromatic spicest and perfumes.t
On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.s
