1 So Pilate then took Jesus and flogged him. 2 The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment. 3 They kept saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and they kept slapping him.

4 Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, "Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him."

5 Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, "Behold, the man!"

6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify!"

Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him."

7 The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God."

8 When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid. 9 He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 Pilate therefore said to him, "Aren’t you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you and have power to crucify you?"

11 Jesus answered, "You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin."

12 At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!"

13 When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called "The Pavement", but in Hebrew, "Gabbatha." 14 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!"

15 They cried out, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!"

Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?"

The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"

16 So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away. 17 He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called "The Place of a Skull", which is called in Hebrew, "Golgotha", 18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle. 19 Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS." 20 Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. 21 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, "Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘he said, "I am King of the Jews."’"

22 Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."

23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top throughout. 24 Then they said to one another, "Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says,

"They parted my garments among them.

They cast lots for my clothing."

Therefore the soldiers did these things.

25 But standing by Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" 27 Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.

28 After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I am thirsty!" 29 Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth. 30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished!" Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

31 Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. 32 Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him; 33 but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs. 34 However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. 35 He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe. 36 For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of him will not be broken." 37 Again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they pierced."

38 After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body. 39 Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds. 40 So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid. 42 Then, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand), they laid Jesus there.

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。
