1And as soon as it was morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council. And they bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate. (太27:1; 太27:2; 可3:6; 可10:33; 路3:1; 路13:1; 路22:66; 路23:1; 约18:28; 徒3:13; 徒4:27; 提前6:13)2And Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” And he answered him, “You have said so.” (太2:2; 太27:11; 可15:9; 可15:12; 可15:18; 可15:26; 可15:32; 路22:70; 路23:2; 约18:29; 约18:39; 约19:3; 提前6:13)3And the chief priests accused him of many things.4And Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you.” (太26:63; 约19:10)5But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate was amazed. (可15:4)
Pilate Delivers Jesus to Be Crucified
6Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked. (太27:15; 路23:18; 约18:39; 约19:16)7And among the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barabbas. (徒3:14; 徒5:36)8And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he usually did for them.9And he answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?”10For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up. (约12:19)11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barabbas instead.12And Pilate again said to them, “Then what shall I do with the man you call the King of the Jews?” (约19:15)13And they cried out again, “Crucify him.”14And Pilate said to them, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify him.” (路23:41; 约8:46)15So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barabbas, and having scourged[1] Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. (赛50:6; 赛53:5; 可10:34; 路23:16; 约19:1)
Jesus Is Mocked
16And the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the governor’s headquarters),[2] and they called together the whole battalion.[3] (太26:3; 太27:27; 约18:28; 约18:33; 约19:2; 约19:9; 徒10:1; 徒23:35; 腓1:13)17And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on him. (路23:11; 启18:12; 启18:16)18And they began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” (可15:2)19And they were striking his head with a reed and spitting on him and kneeling down in homage to him. (太8:2; 可14:65)20And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him. (赛53:7; 可10:34; 可15:17)
The Crucifixion
21And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. (太27:32; 路23:26; 约19:17)22And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull). (太27:33; 路23:32; 路23:44; 约19:17; 约19:23; 约19:28)23And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. (太2:11; 约19:39)24And they crucified him and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take. (诗22:18)25And it was the third hour[4] when they crucified him. (约19:14)26And the inscription of the charge against him read, “The King of the Jews.” (可15:2)27And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.[5] (可10:37; 约18:40)29And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, (伯16:4; 诗22:7; 诗35:25; 诗40:15; 诗109:25; 耶18:16; 哀1:12; 哀2:15; 可14:58)30save yourself, and come down from the cross!”31So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. (太26:53; 路4:23; 约10:18)32Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may see and believe.” Those who were crucified with him also reviled him. (太1:17; 可15:26; 路23:39; 约1:49; 约12:13; 约20:29)
The Death of Jesus
33And when the sixth hour[6] had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.[7]34And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (诗22:1; 來5:7)35And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”36And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.” (得2:14; 诗69:21)37And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed his last. (可15:34; 约10:18)38And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. (出26:31; 代下3:14)39And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he[8] breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son[9] of God!” (太27:43; 太27:54; 路23:47; 路23:49)40There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. (诗38:11; 太27:56; 可16:1; 路8:2; 约19:25)41When he was in Galilee, they followed him and ministered to him, and there were also many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem. (可15:40; 路2:4)
Jesus Is Buried
42And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath, (太27:57; 太27:62; 路23:50; 约19:38)43Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. (路2:25; 路2:38; 徒13:50; 徒17:12)44Pilate was surprised to hear that he should have already died.[10] And summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead. (可15:39)45And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the corpse to Joseph. (可15:44)46And Joseph[11] bought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and laid him in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. (赛22:16; 赛53:9; 可14:51; 可16:4; 约11:38)47Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid. (可15:40)
