Luke 23
Christian Standard Bible
Jesus Faces Pilate
23 Then(A) their whole assembly rose up and brought him before Pilate. 2 They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation, opposing payment of taxes(B) to Caesar, and saying that he himself is the Messiah, a king.”
3 So Pilate asked him,(C) “Are you the king of the Jews?” (D)
He answered him, “You say so.”[a]
4 Pilate then told the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no grounds(E) for charging this man.”
5 But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people,(F) teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee(G) where he started even to here.”
Jesus Faces Herod Antipas
6 When Pilate(H) heard this,[b] he asked if the man was a Galilean. 7 Finding that he was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod,(I) who was also in Jerusalem during those days. 8 Herod was very glad to see Jesus; for a long time he had wanted to see him because he had heard about him and was hoping to see some miracle[c] performed by him. 9 So he kept asking him questions, but Jesus did not answer him.(J) 10 The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him. 11 Then Herod, with his soldiers, treated him with contempt, mocked(K) him, dressed him in bright clothing,(L) and sent him back to Pilate. 12 That very day Herod and Pilate became friends.[d](M) Previously, they had been enemies.
Jesus or Barabbas
13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the leaders, and the people,(N) 14 and said to them, “You have brought me this man as one who misleads the people.(O) But in fact, after examining him in your presence, I have found no grounds(P) to charge this man with those things you accuse him of. 15 Neither has Herod, because he sent him back to us. Clearly, he has done nothing to deserve death. 16 Therefore, I will have him whipped[e](Q) and then release him.”[f]
18 Then(R) they all cried out together, “Take this man away!(S) Release Barabbas to us!” 19 (He had been thrown into prison for a rebellion that had taken place in the city, and for murder.)
20 Wanting to release Jesus,(T) Pilate addressed them again, 21 but they kept shouting, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
22 A third time he said to them, “Why? What has this man done wrong?(U) I have found in him no grounds(V) for the death penalty. Therefore, I will have him whipped and then release him.”
23 But they kept up the pressure, demanding with loud voices that he be crucified, and their voices[g] won out. 24 So(W) Pilate decided to grant their demand(X) 25 and released the one they were asking for, who had been thrown into prison for rebellion and murder. But he handed Jesus over to their will.(Y)
The Way to the Cross
26 As(Z) they led him away, they seized Simon, a Cyrenian,(AA) who was coming in from the country, and laid the cross(AB) on him to carry behind Jesus. 27 A large crowd of people followed him, including women who were mourning and lamenting him.(AC) 28 But turning to them, Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem,(AD) do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and your children. 29 Look, the days are coming(AE) when they will say, ‘Blessed are the women without children, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed!’(AF) 30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us!’ [h](AG) 31 For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”(AH)
Crucified Between Two Criminals
32 Two others—criminals(AI)—were also led away to be executed with him. 33 When(AJ) they arrived at the place called The Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals, one on the right and one on the left. 34 Then Jesus said, “Father,(AK) forgive(AL) them, because they do not know what they are doing.”[i](AM) And they divided his clothes and cast lots.(AN)
35 The(AO) people stood watching, and even the leaders were scoffing:(AP) “He saved others; let him save himself if this is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One!” (AQ) 36 The soldiers also mocked him. They came offering him sour wine(AR) 37 and said, “If you are the king of the Jews,(AS) save yourself!”
38 An inscription was above him:[j] This Is the King of the Jews.
39 Then(AT) one of the criminals hanging there began to yell insults at[k] him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”
40 But the other answered, rebuking him: “Don’t you even fear God,(AU) since you are undergoing the same punishment? 41 We are punished justly, because we’re getting back what we deserve for the things we did, but this man has done nothing wrong.”(AV) 42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me[l](AW) when you come into your kingdom.”(AX)
43 And he said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”(AY)
The Death of Jesus
44 It(AZ) was now about noon,[m] and darkness came over the whole land[n] until three,[o] 45 because the sun’s light failed.[p] The curtain(BA) of the sanctuary was split down the middle. 46 And Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit.”[q](BB) Saying this, he breathed his last.
47 When the centurion saw what happened, he began to glorify(BC) God, saying, “This man really was righteous!” [r] 48 All the crowds that had gathered for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, went home, striking their chests.(BD) 49 But(BE) all who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance,(BF) watching these things.
The Burial of Jesus
50 There(BG) was a good and righteous man named Joseph, a member of the Sanhedrin, 51 who had not agreed with their plan(BH) and action. He was from Arimathea, a Judean town, and was looking forward to the kingdom of God.(BI) 52 He approached Pilate and asked for Jesus’s body. 53 Taking it down, he wrapped it in fine linen and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever been placed.[s](BJ) 54 It was the preparation day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.[t] 55 The women(BK) who had come with him from Galilee followed along and observed the tomb and how his body was placed. 56 Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes.(BL) And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.(BM)

路加福音 23
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
耶稣被押交彼拉多(A)
23 众人都起来，把耶稣押到彼拉多那里， 2 控告他说：“我们查出这个人煽惑我们的同胞，阻止纳税给凯撒，并且自称是基督，是王。” 3 彼拉多问他：“你是犹太人的王吗？”耶稣回答：“你已经说了（“你已经说了”或译：“这是你说的”）。” 4 彼拉多对祭司长和众人说：“我在这人身上，查不出有甚么罪。” 5 但他们极力说：“他在犹太全地教导人，煽动群众，从加利利直到这里。”
希律王藐视耶稣
6 彼拉多听见了，就问耶稣是不是加利利人。 7 既然知道他是属于希律管辖的，就把他送回希律那里；那时希律正在耶路撒冷。 8 希律看见耶稣，非常欢喜，因为他曾经听过耶稣的事，早就想要见他，希望看他行个神迹。 9 于是他问了耶稣许多话，但耶稣甚么也不回答。 10 祭司长和经学家站着，猛烈地控告他。 11 希律和他的侍卫就藐视耶稣，戏弄他，给他穿上华丽的衣服，把他送回彼拉多那里。 12 希律和彼拉多从前原是彼此为仇，在那一天就成了朋友。
彼拉多判耶稣钉十字架(B)
13 彼拉多召集了祭司长、官长和民众， 14 对他们说：“你们把这人押到我这里来，说他煽惑群众，我已经在你们面前审讯过，在他身上一点也找不到你们控告他的罪状， 15 连希律也找不到，又把他送回我这里，可见他没有作过该死的事。 16 我要责打他，然后把他释放。”（有些抄本有第17节：“每逢节期，他必须照例给他们释放一个囚犯。”也有些抄本把这句放在第19节后） 18 众人齐声喊叫：“除掉这个人，给我们释放巴拉巴！” 19 这巴拉巴是因为在城里作乱杀人而入狱的。 20 彼拉多再向他们说明，愿意释放耶稣。 21 然而他们高声呼叫：“把他钉十字架，把他钉十字架！” 22 彼拉多第三次对他们说：“这人作过甚么恶事呢？我在他身上找不出甚么该死的罪。所以我要责打他，然后把他释放。” 23 但他们大声吵闹，要他把耶稣钉十字架，他们的声音就得了胜。 24 彼拉多就宣判，照他们的要求， 25 把他们所求那作乱杀人入狱的释放了，却把耶稣交出来，随他们的意思处理。
耶稣被钉十字架(C)
26 他们把耶稣带走的时候，抓住了一个从乡下来的古利奈人西门，把十字架放在他身上，叫他背着跟在耶稣后面。 27 一大群人跟随他，有些妇女为他捶胸痛哭。 28 耶稣转过身来对她们说：“耶路撒冷的女儿啊，不要为我哭，却要为你们自己和你们的儿女哭。 29 日子将到，人必说：‘不生育的和没有怀过胎的，也没有哺养过婴儿的有福了。’
30 那时人要对大山说：
‘倒在我们身上！’
对小山说：
‘遮盖我们！’
31 他们在青绿的树上，既然这样作；在枯干的树上，又会怎样呢？”
32 他们另外带来两个犯人，和耶稣一同处死， 33 到了那名叫“髑髅”的地方，就把耶稣钉在十字架上，也钉了那两个犯人，一左一右。 34 耶稣说：“父啊，赦免他们！因为他们不知道自己所作的是甚么。”士兵抽签，分了他的衣服。 35 群众站着观看，官长们嗤笑说：“他救了别人，如果他是基督，是 神所拣选的，让他救自己吧！” 36 士兵也上前戏弄他，拿酸酒给他喝， 37 说：“如果你是犹太人的王，救你自己吧！” 38 在耶稣的头以上有一个牌子写着：“这是犹太人的王。”
39 悬挂着的犯人中，有一个侮辱他说：“你不是基督吗？救你自己和我们吧！” 40 另一个就应声责备他说：“你是同样受刑的，还不惧怕 神吗？ 41 我们是罪有应得的。我们所受的与所作的相称，然而这个人并没有作过甚么不对的事。” 42 他又对耶稣说：“耶稣啊，你得国降临的时候，求你记念我。” 43 耶稣对他说：“我实在告诉你，今天你必定同我在乐园里了。”
耶稣死时的情形(D)
44 从大约正午直到下午三点钟，遍地都黑暗了。 45 太阳没有光，圣所的幔子从当中裂开。 46 耶稣大声呼叫：“父啊，我把我的灵魂交在你手里。”说了这话，气就断了。 47 百夫长看见所发生的事，就颂赞 神，说：“这真是个义人！” 48 聚集观看的群众，看见所发生的事，都捶着胸回去了。 49 与耶稣熟悉的人，和从加利利跟随他来的妇女，都远远地站着，看这些事。
耶稣葬在坟墓里(E)
50 有一个人名叫约瑟，是个议员，为人良善公义， 51 是犹太地亚利马太城的人，一向等候 神的国，并不附和众人的计谋和行为。 52 这人去见彼拉多，求领耶稣的身体。 53 他把身体取下来，用细麻布裹好，放在从石头凿出来的坟墓里，这坟墓是从来没有葬过人的。 54 那天是预备日，安息日就要开始， 55 那些从加利利和耶稣一起来的妇女，跟着来了。她们看见了坟墓，和他的身体怎样安葬， 56 就回去预备香料和香膏。
安息日，她们遵着诫命安息。
