路加福音 23

耶稣被押交彼拉多

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。”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，希望看他行个神蹟。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。”士兵抽籤，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，就颂讚 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。

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
