John 19

1 Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.

1 當下彼拉多將耶穌鞭打了。

2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe.

2 兵丁用荊棘編做冠冕戴在他頭上，給他穿上紫袍，

3 And they went up to Him again and again, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapping Him in the face.

3 又挨近他，說：「恭喜，猶太人的王啊！」他們就用手掌打他。

4 Once again Pilate came out and said to the Jews, “Look, I am bringing Him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against Him.”

4 彼拉多又出來對眾人說：「我帶他出來見你們，叫你們知道我查不出他有甚麼罪來。」

5 When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”

5 耶穌出來，戴着荊棘冠冕，穿着紫袍。彼拉多對他們說：「你們看這個人！」

6 As soon as the chief priests and officers saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” “You take Him and crucify Him,” Pilate replied, “for I find no basis for a charge against Him.”

6 祭司長和差役看見他，就喊着說：「釘他十字架！釘他十字架！」彼拉多說：「你們自己把他釘十字架吧！我查不出他有甚麼罪來。」

7 “We have a law,” answered the Jews, “and according to that law He must die, because He declared Himself to be the Son of God.”

7 猶太人回答說：「我們有律法，按那律法，他是該死的，因他以自己為上帝的兒子。」

8 When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,

8 彼拉多聽見這話，越發害怕，

9 and he went back into the Praetorium. “Where are You from?” he asked. But Jesus gave no answer.

9 又進衙門，對耶穌說：「你是哪裏來的？」耶穌卻不回答。

10 So Pilate said to Him, “Do You refuse to speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You and authority to crucify You?”

10 彼拉多說：「你不對我說話嗎？你豈不知我有權柄釋放你，也有權柄把你釘十字架嗎？」

11 Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed Me over to you is guilty of greater sin.”

11 耶穌回答說：「若不是從上頭賜給你的，你就毫無權柄辦我。所以，把我交給你的那人罪更重了。」

12 From then on, Pilate tried to release Him, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who declares himself a king is defying Caesar.”

12 從此，彼拉多想要釋放耶穌，無奈猶太人喊着說：「你若釋放這個人，就不是凱撒的忠臣 。凡以自己為王的，就是背叛凱撒了。」

13 When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat on the judgment seat at a place called the Stone Pavement, which in Hebrew is Gabbatha.

13 彼拉多聽見這話，就帶耶穌出來，到了一個地方，名叫「鋪華石處」，希伯來話叫厄巴大，就在那裏坐堂。

14 It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about the sixth hour. And Pilate said to the Jews, “Here is your King!”

14 那日是預備逾越節的日子，約有午正。彼拉多對猶太人說：「看哪，這是你們的王！」

15 At this, they shouted, “Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him!” “Shall I crucify your King?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” replied the chief priests.

15 他們喊着說：「除掉他！除掉他！釘他在十字架上！」彼拉多說：「我可以把你們的王釘十字架嗎？」祭司長回答說：「除了凱撒，我們沒有王。」

16 Then Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified, and the soldiers took Him away.

16 於是彼拉多將耶穌交給他們去釘十字架。

17 Carrying His own cross, He went out to The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.

17 他們就把耶穌帶了去。耶穌背着自己的十字架出來，到了一個地方，名叫「髑髏地」，希伯來話叫各各他。

18 There they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.

18 他們就在那裏釘他在十字架上，還有兩個人和他一同釘着，一邊一個，耶穌在中間。

19 Pilate also had a notice posted on the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

19 彼拉多又用牌子寫了一個名號，安在十字架上，寫的是：「猶太人的王，拿撒勒人耶穌。」

20 Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

20 有許多猶太人念這名號；因為耶穌被釘十字架的地方與城相近，並且是用希伯來、羅馬、希臘三樣文字寫的。

21 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but only that He said, ‘I am the King of the Jews.’”

21 猶太人的祭司長就對彼拉多說：「不要寫『猶太人的王』，要寫『他自己說：我是猶太人的王』。」

22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

22 彼拉多說：「我所寫的，我已經寫上了。」

23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided His garments into four parts, one for each soldier, with the tunic remaining. It was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.

23 兵丁既然將耶穌釘在十字架上，就拿他的衣服分為四分，每兵一分；又拿他的裏衣，這件裏衣原來沒有縫兒，是上下一片織成的。

24 So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it. Instead, let us cast lots to see who will get it.” This was to fulfill the Scripture: “They divided My garments among them, and cast lots for My clothing.” So that is what the soldiers did.

24 他們就彼此說：「我們不要撕開，只要拈鬮，看誰得着。」這要應驗經上的話說： 他們分了我的外衣， 為我的裏衣拈鬮。 兵丁果然做了這事。

25 Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother and her sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.

25 站在耶穌十字架旁邊的，有他母親與他母親的姊妹，並革羅罷的妻子馬利亞，和抹大拉的馬利亞。

26 When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.”

26 耶穌見母親和他所愛的那門徒站在旁邊，就對他母親說：「母親 ，看，你的兒子！」

27 Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” So from that hour, this disciple took her into his home.

27 又對那門徒說：「看，你的母親！」從此，那門徒就接她到自己家裏去了。

28 After this, knowing that everything had now been accomplished, and to fulfill the Scripture, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”

28 這事以後，耶穌知道各樣的事已經成了，為要使經上的話應驗，就說：「我渴了。」

29 A jar of sour wine was sitting there. So they soaked a sponge in the wine, put it on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth.

29 有一個器皿盛滿了醋，放在那裏；他們就拿海絨蘸滿了醋，綁在牛膝草上，送到他口。

30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.

30 耶穌嘗 了那醋，就說：「成了！」便低下頭，將靈魂交付上帝了。

31 It was the day of Preparation, and the next day was a High Sabbath. In order that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath, the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.

31 猶太人因這日是預備日，又因那安息日是個大日，就求彼拉多叫人打斷他們的腿，把他們拿去，免得屍首當安息日留在十字架上。

32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and those of the other.

32 於是兵丁來，把頭一個人的腿，並與耶穌同釘第二個人的腿，都打斷了。

33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

33 只是來到耶穌那裏，見他已經死了，就不打斷他的腿。

34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.

34 惟有一個兵拿槍扎他的肋旁，隨即有血和水流出來。

35 The one who saw it has testified to this, and his testimony is true. He knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.

35 看見這事的那人就作見證－他的見證也是真的，並且他知道自己所說的是真的－叫你們也可以信。

36 Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of His bones will be broken.”

36 這些事成了，為要應驗經上的話說：「他的骨頭一根也不可折斷。」

37 And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.”

37 經上又有一句說：「他們要仰望自己所扎的人。」

38 Afterward, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and removed His body.

38 這些事以後，有亞利馬太人約瑟，是耶穌的門徒，只因怕猶太人，就暗暗地作門徒。他來求彼拉多，要把耶穌的身體領去。彼拉多允准，他就把耶穌的身體領去了。

39 Nicodemus, who had previously come to Jesus at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.

39 又有尼哥德慕，就是先前夜裏去見耶穌的，帶着沒藥和沉香約有一百斤前來。

40 So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.

40 他們就照猶太人殯葬的規矩，把耶穌的身體用細麻布加上香料裹好了。

41 Now there was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

41 在耶穌釘十字架的地方有一個園子，園子裏有一座新墳墓，是從來沒有葬過人的。

42 And because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus there.

42 只因是猶太人的預備日，又因那墳墓近，他們就把耶穌安放在那裏。
