1 Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. 2 They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
3 Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 saying, "I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood."
But they said, "What is that to us? You see to it."
5 He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, "It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood." 7 They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in. 8 Therefore that field has been called "The Field of Blood" to this day. 9 Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
"They took the thirty pieces of silver,
the price of him upon whom a price had been set,
whom some of the children of Israel priced,
10 and they gave them for the potter’s field,
as the Lord commanded me."
11 Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
Jesus said to him, "So you say."
12 When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 13 Then Pilate said to him, "Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?"
14 He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.
15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired. 16 They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas. 17 When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?" 18 For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.
19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him."
20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. 21 But the governor answered them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?"
They said, "Barabbas!"
22 Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ?"
They all said to him, "Let him be crucified!"
23 But the governor said, "Why? What evil has he done?"
But they cried out exceedingly, saying, "Let him be crucified!"
24 So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it."
25 All the people answered, "May his blood be on us and on our children!"
26 Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him. 28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him. 29 They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him and mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" 30 They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head. 31 When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.
32 As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross. 33 When they came to a place called "Golgotha", that is to say, "The place of a skull," 34 they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink. 35 When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots, 36 and they sat and watched him there. 37 They set up over his head the accusation against him written, "THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
38 Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.
39 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads 40 and saying, "You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"
41 Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said, 42 "He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. 43 He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’" 44 The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
47 Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, "This man is calling Elijah."
48 Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink. 49 The rest said, "Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him."
50 Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
51 Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split. 52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
54 Now the centurion and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were done, were terrified, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God!"
55 Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him. 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple, came. 58 This man went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up. 59 Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth 60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed. 61 Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
62 Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate, 63 saying, "Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’ 64 Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first."
65 Pilate said to them, "You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can." 66 So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
1 到了早上， 所有的祭司长和民间的长老商议怎样对付耶稣， 好杀掉他。
2 他们把他绑起来， 押去交给总督彼拉多。
3 那时， 出卖耶稣的犹大见耶稣定了罪， 就后悔了。他把那三十块银子还给祭司长和长老， 说：
4 "我有罪了！ 我出卖了无辜的人（"人"原文作"血"）！ "他们说： "这是你的事， 跟我们有什么关系？"
5 犹大把银子丢进圣所， 然后离开， 出去吊死了。
6 祭司长把银子拾起来， 说： "这是血钱， 不可放在殿库里。"
7 他们商议之后， 就用那些钱买了"陶匠的田"， 用来作外国人的坟地。
8 所以那田称为"血田"， 直到今日。
9 这应验了耶利米先知所说的： "他们拿了三十块银子， 就是以色列人给他估定的价钱，
10 用它买了‘陶匠的田’， 正如主所指示我的。"
11 耶稣站在总督面前， 总督问他： "你是犹太人的王吗？"耶稣回答： "这是你说的。"
12 祭司长和长老控告他的时候， 他却不回答。
13 彼拉多又问他： "他们作证指控你这么多的事， 你没有听见吗？"
14 耶稣一句话也不回答他， 令总督非常惊奇。
15 每逢这节期， 总督有一个惯例， 就是给群众释放一个他们要求释放的囚犯。
16 那时， 有个声名狼籍的囚犯， 名叫耶数．巴拉巴。
17 群众聚集的时候， 彼拉多问他们： "你们要我给你们释放谁？耶数．巴拉巴或是称为基督的耶稣呢？"
18 他知道他们是因为嫉妒才把耶稣交了来。
19 彼拉多坐在审判台上的时候， 他的夫人派人来说： "你不要干涉这个义人的事， 因为昨夜我在梦中因他受了很多的苦。"
20 祭司长和长老怂恿群众， 叫他们去要求释放巴拉巴， 除掉耶稣。
21 总督问他们： "这两个人， 你们要我给你们释放哪一个？"他们说： "巴拉巴！ "
22 彼拉多对他们说： "那么， 我怎样处置那称为基督的耶稣呢？"他们齐声说： "把他钉十字架！ "
23 彼拉多说： "他作了什么恶事呢？"众人更加大声喊叫： "把他钉十字架！ "
24 彼拉多见无济于事， 反会引起骚动， 就拿水在群众面前洗手， 说： "流这人的血， 与我无关， 你们自己负责吧。"
25 群众回答： "流他的血的责任， 归在我们和我们子孙的身上吧。"
26 于是彼拉多给他们释放了巴拉巴； 他把耶稣鞭打了， 就交给他们钉十字架。
27 总督的士兵把耶稣带到总督府， 召集全队士兵到他面前。
28 他们脱去他的衣服， 给他披上朱红色的外袍，
29 又用荆棘编成冠冕， 戴在他的头上， 把一根芦苇放在他的右手， 跪在他面前讥笑他说： "犹太人的王万岁！ "
30 然后向他吐唾沫， 又拿起芦苇打他的头。
31 戏弄完了， 就脱下他的外袍， 给他穿回衣服， 带去钉十字架。
32 他们出来的时候， 遇见一个古利奈人， 名叫西门， 就强迫他背耶稣的十字架。
33 到了一个地方， 名叫各各他， 就是"髑髅地"的意思，
34 他们把苦胆调和的酒给他喝， 他尝了却不肯喝。
35 士兵把他钉了十字架， 就抽签分他的衣服，
36 然后坐在那里看守他。
37 他们在耶稣的头以上， 钉了一块牌子， 写着他的罪状： "这是犹太人的王耶稣"。
38 当时， 有两个强盗和他一同钉十字架， 一个在右， 一个在左。
39 过路的人嘲笑他， 摇着头说：
40 "你这个想拆毁圣所， 三日之内又把它建造起来的， 救救自己吧！ 如果你是 神的儿子， 从十字架上下来吧！ "
41 祭司长、经学家和长老也同样讥笑他， 说：
42 "他救了别人， 却不能救自己。如果他是以色列的王， 现在可以从十字架上下来， 我们就信他。
43 他信靠 神； 如果 神喜悦他， 就让 神现在救他吧， 因为他说自己是 神的儿子。"
44 和他一同钉十字架的强盗也都这样侮辱他。
45 从正午到下午三点钟， 遍地都黑暗了。
46 大约三点钟， 耶稣大声呼叫： "以利， 以利， 拉马撒巴各大尼？"意思是"我的 神， 我的 神， 你为什么离弃我？"
47 有几个站在那里的人， 听见了就说： "这个人在呼叫以利亚呢。"
48 有一个人马上跑去拿海绵蘸满了酸酒， 用芦苇递给他喝。
49 但其他的人说： "等一等， 我们看看以利亚来不来救他。"
50 耶稣再大声呼叫， 气就断了。
51 忽然， 圣所里的幔子从上到下裂成两半； 地面震动， 石头崩裂；
52 而且坟墓开了， 许多睡了的圣徒的身体也复活了，
53 从坟墓里出来； 到了耶稣复活之后， 他们进到圣城向许多人显现。
54 百夫长和跟他一起看守耶稣的士兵， 看见了地震和所发生的事情， 就十分惧怕， 说： "这个人真是 神的儿子。"
55 有许多妇女在那里远远地观看； 她们是从加利利开始跟随耶稣服事他的。
56 她们中间有抹大拉的马利亚、雅各和约西的母亲马利亚， 以及西庇太的儿子的母亲。
57 到了晚上， 有一个亚利马太的富翁来到， 他名叫约瑟， 是耶稣的门徒。
58 这个人去见彼拉多， 请求领取耶稣的身体， 彼拉多就吩咐给他。
59 约瑟领了耶稣的身体， 用干净的细麻布裹好，
60 放在自己的新坟墓里， 就是在磐石里凿出来的。他辊了一块大石头来挡住墓门， 然后才离开。
61 抹大拉的马利亚和另一个马利亚都在那里， 对着坟墓坐着。
62 第二天， 就是过了"预备日"的那一天， 祭司长和法利赛人去见彼拉多， 说：
63 "大人， 我们想起那个骗子， 生前说过： ‘三天之后， 我要复活。’
64 所以请你下令把坟墓严密看守， 直到第三天， 免得他的门徒来把他偷去， 然后对民众说： ‘他从死人中复活了。’这样， 日后的骗局比起初的就更大了。"
65 彼拉多对他们说： "你们带着卫兵， 尽你们所能的去严密看守吧。"
66 他们就去把墓前的石封好， 又派卫兵把守， 严密地守住坟墓。
