John 19
1 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.
當下彼拉多將耶穌鞭打了。
2 Soldiers made a crown of thorns and placed it on his head, and put a purple robe on him.
兵丁用荊棘編做冠冕戴在他頭上，給他穿上紫袍，
3 Time and again they went up to him and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapped him.
又挨近他，說：「恭喜，猶太人的王啊！」他們就用手掌打他。
4 Pilate went outside once more and said to them, “I'm bringing him out here to you so you'll know I find him not guilty of any crime.”
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 Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. “Look, here's the man,” said Pilate.
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 When the chief priests and the guards saw Jesus, they shouted out, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” “You take him and crucify him,” Pilate answered. “I find him not guilty.”
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 The Jewish leaders replied, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die because he claimed to be the Son of God.”
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 he was more afraid than ever,
彼拉多聽見這話，越發害怕，
9 and he went back into the governor's palace. He asked Jesus, “Where do you come from?” But Jesus didn't respond.
又進衙門，對耶穌說：「你是哪裏來的？」耶穌卻不回答。
10 “Are you refusing to talk to me?” Pilate said to him. “Don't you realize that I have the power to have you released or to crucify you?”
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 “You would have no power over me unless it had been given to you from above,” Jesus answered. “Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of the greater sin.”
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 When Pilate heard this he tried to set Jesus free, but the Jewish leaders shouted, “If you set this man free you're not Caesar's friend. Anyone who sets himself up as a king is rebelling against Caesar.”
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 this, he brought Jesus outside and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called Stone Pavement (Gabbatha in Hebrew).
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 around noon on the preparation day before the Passover. “Look, here is your king,” he said to the Jews.
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 “Kill him! Kill him! Crucify him!” they screamed out. “Do you want me to crucify your king?” Pilate asked. “The only king we have is Caesar,” the chief priests replied.
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 So he handed Jesus over to them to be crucified.
於是彼拉多將耶穌交給他們去釘十字架。
17 They led Jesus away, who carried his own cross, and went out to the “Place of the Skull,” (Golgotha in Hebrew).
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 They crucified him there, and two others with him: one on either side, with Jesus between them.
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 had a notice made and placed on the cross which said, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.”
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 people read the notice because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
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 Then the chief priests came to Pilate and asked him, “Don't write ‘the King of the Jews,’ but ‘This man said I am the King of the Jews.’”
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 replied, “What I have written I have written.”
彼拉多說：「我所寫的，我已經寫上了。」
23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus they took his clothes and divided them in four so that each soldier had his share. There was also his robe, made without seams, woven in one piece.
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 each other, “Let's not tear it, but let's decide who will have it by rolling dice.” This fulfilled the Scripture that says, “They divided my garments among them and rolled dice for my clothing.”
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 So that is what the soldiers did. Standing near the cross was Jesus' mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.
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 he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, “Mother, this is your son.”
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, “This is your mother.” From then on the disciple took her into his home.
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 Jesus now realized that he had finished all that he had come to do. In fulfillment of Scripture, he said, “I'm thirsty.”
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 wine vinegar was standing there, so they soaked a sponge in the vinegar, put it on a hyssop stick, and held it to his lips.
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 After he'd had the vinegar, Jesus said, “It's finished!” Then he bowed his head and breathed his last.
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 preparation day, and the Jewish leaders didn't want to leave the bodies on the crosses during the Sabbath day (in fact this was a special Sabbath), so they asked Pilate to break the legs, so that the bodies could be removed.
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 one and then the other of those crucified with Jesus,
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 they saw he was already dead, so they didn't break his legs.
只是來到耶穌那裏，見他已經死了，就不打斷他的腿。
34 However, one of the soldiers stuck a spear into his side, and blood mixed with water came out.
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 this has given this evidence, and his evidence is true. He's certain that what he says is true so you can believe it too.
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 It happened like this so Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken,”
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 at the one they pierced.”
經上又有一句說：「他們要仰望自己所扎的人。」
38 After this Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate if he could take down the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave his permission. Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but in secret because he feared the Jews. So Joseph came and took the body away.
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 He was joined by Nicodemus, the man who had first visited Jesus at night. He brought with him a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about seventy-five pounds.
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 They took Jesus' body and wrapped it in linen cloth together with the mixture of spices, in accordance with Jewish burial customs. There was a garden near where Jesus was crucified;
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 and in the garden was a new, unused tomb.
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 Since it was the Jewish day of preparation and the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus to rest there.
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。
