耶稣被解交彼拉多（可15·1；路23·1-2；约18·28-32）　
　　清早，所有的祭司长和犹太人的长老商议，要处死耶稣。他们把耶稣绑起来，押走，交给罗马总督彼拉多。
　　犹大的死（徒1·18-19）　
　　出卖耶稣的犹大看见耶稣被定罪，后悔了，就把三十块银币拿去还给祭司长和长老，说∶“我犯了罪，出卖了无辜者的命！”他们回答∶“那是你自己的事，跟我们有什么关系？”
　　犹大把钱丢在圣殿里，走出去，上吊自杀。
　　祭司长把钱捡起来，说∶“这是血钱，把它放在奉献箱里是违法的。”商议的结果，他们同意拿这钱去购买陶匠的一块地皮，作为埋葬异乡人的坟地。因此，到今天人家还叫这块地为“血田”。
　　这件事的经过实现了先知耶利米说过的话∶“他们拿了三十块银币，就是以色列人同意为他付出的价钱，买了陶匠的地皮；这是依照主所命令我的。”
　　在彼拉多面前受审（可15·2-5；路23·3-5；约18·33-38）　
　　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。”祭司长和长老对他的控告，他一概不回答。
　　于是彼拉多对他说∶“你没听见他们控告你这许多事吗？”
　　耶稣仍然一句话也不回答；彼拉多非常诧异。
　　被判死刑（可15·6-15；路23·13-25；约18·39-19·16）　
　　每逢逾越节，总督照惯例为群众释放一个他们所要的囚犯。那时，刚好有一个出了名的囚犯叫（耶稣）巴拉巴。所以，群众聚集的时候，彼拉多问他们∶“你们要我为你们释放哪一个呢？（耶稣）巴拉巴呢？还是那称为基督的耶稣？”彼拉多明明知道他们是出于嫉妒才把耶稣交给他的。
　　彼拉多开庭审判的时候，他的夫人派人来告诉他说∶“那无辜者的事，你不要管，因为我昨晚在梦中为他吃尽苦头。”
　　祭司长和长老挑唆民众，他们就要求彼拉多释放巴拉巴，把耶稣处死。可是总督问他们说∶“这两个人当中，你们要我释放哪一个呢？”
　　他们回答∶“巴拉巴！”
　　彼拉多问他们∶“那么，我该怎样处置那称为基督的耶稣呢？”
　　他们都喊∶“把他钉十字架！”
　　彼拉多问∶“他做了什么坏事呢？”
　　他们更大声喊叫∶“把他钉十字架！”
　　彼拉多看那情形，知道再说也没有用，反而可能激起暴动，就拿水在群众面前洗手，说∶“流这个人的血，罪不在我，你们自己承担吧！”
　　群众异口同声说∶“他的血债由我们和我们的子孙承担！”
　　于是彼拉多释放巴拉巴给他们，又命令把耶稣鞭打了，然后交给人去钉十字架。
　　兵士戏弄耶稣（可15·16-20；约19·2-3）　
　　彼拉多的兵士把耶稣带进总督府；全队集合在他周围。他们剥下耶稣的衣服，给他穿上一件深红色的袍子，又用荆棘编了一顶冠冕给他戴上，拿一根藤条放在他的右手，然后跪在他面前戏弄他，说∶“犹太人的王万岁！”他们又向他吐口水，拿藤条打他的头。他们戏弄完了，把他身上的袍子剥下，再给他穿上自己的衣服，然后带他出去钉十字架。
　　耶稣被钉十字架（可15·21-32；路23·26-43；约19·17-27）　
　　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。他们来到一个地方，叫各各他，意思就是“髑髅冈”。他们拿了搀着苦胆的酒给耶稣喝；耶稣尝了，却不肯喝。
　　于是，他们把耶稣钉在十字架上，又抽签分了他的衣服，然后坐在那里看守他。他们在他头上方安了一面罪状牌，牌上写着∶“这是耶稣，犹太人的王。”他们又把两个暴徒同钉在十字架上，一个在他右边，一个在他左边。
　　从那里经过的人侮辱耶稣，摇着头，说∶“你这想拆毁圣殿、三天内把它重建起来的！你若是上帝的儿子，救救自己，从十字架上下来吧！”
　　祭司长、经学教师，和长老也同样地讥笑他，说∶“他救了别人，却不能救自己！他不是以色列的王吗？要是他现在从十字架上下来，我们就信他！他信靠上帝，自称为上帝的儿子；好吧，现在让我们看看上帝要不要来救他！”
　　连跟他同钉的暴徒也同样辱骂他。
　　耶稣的死（可15·33-41；路23·44-49；约19·28-30）　
　　中午的时候，黑暗笼罩大地，约有三小时之久。到了下午三点钟左右，耶稣大声呼喊∶“以利！以利！拉马撒巴各大尼？”意思是∶“我的上帝，我的上帝，你为什么离弃我？”
　　旁边站着的人，有些听见了，说∶“他在呼唤以利亚呢！”其中有一个人立刻跑过去，拿一块海绵，浸在酸酒里，然后绑在藤条上，要让他喝。
　　其他的人说∶“等着，我们看以利亚会不会来救他！”
　　耶稣又大喊一声，气就断了。
　　这时候，悬挂在圣殿里的幔子，从上到下裂成两半。大地震动，岩石崩裂，坟墓也被震开了，许多已经死了的圣徒都复活起来。他们离开了坟墓，在耶稣复活以后进圣城；在那里有许多人看见了他们。
　　看守耶稣的军官和兵士看见了地震和所发生的一切事，都非常害怕，说∶“他真的是上帝的儿子！”
　　那里还有好些妇女从远处观看，她们是从加利利跟着耶稣来服事他的。其中有抹大拉的马利亚、雅各和约瑟的母亲马利亚，和西庇太两个儿子的母亲。
　　耶稣的安葬（可15·42-47；路23·50-56；约19·38-42）　
　　傍晚的时候，有一个亚利马太的财主来了；他名叫约瑟，也是耶稣的门徒。他去见彼拉多，要求收殓耶稣的身体；彼拉多就吩咐把耶稣的身体交给他。约瑟把身体领了去，用干净的麻纱包裹起来，安放在他自己的墓穴里；这墓穴是他最近才从岩石凿成的。他又把一块大石头滚过来，堵住墓门，然后离开。抹大拉的马利亚和另一个马利亚面对着坟墓坐着，守在那里。
　　坟墓的守卫　
　　第二天，就是预备日的后一天，祭司长和法利赛人一起去见彼拉多，说∶“大人，我们记得那个骗子还活着的时候曾经说过∶‘三天后我要复活。’所以，请你下令严密守护坟墓，一直到第三天，他的门徒就不能把他偷走，然后去告诉人家‘他从死里复活了’，这样的谎言要比先前的更糟！”
　　彼拉多对他们说∶“你们带守卫去，尽你们所能，好好地把守坟墓！”
　　于是他们去了，在石头上加了封条，封住墓口，留下守卫把守。

　　Jesus Is Taken to Pilate
(Mark 15.1; Luke 23.1, 2; John 18.28-32)　
　　Early in the morning all the chief priests and the elders made their plans against Jesus to put him to death. They put him in chains, led him off, and handed him over to Pilate, the Roman governor.
　　The Death of Judas
(Acts 1.18, 19)　
　　When Judas, the traitor, learned that Jesus had been condemned, he repented and took back the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders. [注解]　"I have sinned by betraying an innocent man to death!" he said.
　　"What do we care about that?" they answered. "That is your business!"
　　Judas threw the coins down in the Temple and left; then he went off and hanged himself.
　　The chief priests picked up the coins and said, "This is blood money, and it is against our Law to put it in the Temple treasury." After reaching an agreement about it, they used the money to buy Potter's Field, as a cemetery for foreigners. That is why that field is called "Field of Blood" to this very day.
　　Then what the prophet Jeremiah had said came true: "They took the thirty silver coins, the amount the people of Israel had agreed to pay for him, [注解]　and used the money to buy the potter's field, as the Lord had commanded me."
　　Pilate Questions Jesus
(Mark 15.2-5; Luke 23.3-5; John 18.33-38)　
　　Jesus stood before the Roman governor, who questioned him. "Are you the king of the Jews?" he asked.
　　"So you say," answered Jesus. But he said nothing in response to the accusations of the chief priests and elders.
　　So Pilate said to him, "Don't you hear all these things they accuse you of"
　　But Jesus refused to answer a single word, with the result that the Governor was greatly surprised.
　　Jesus Is Sentenced to Death
(Mark 15.6-15; Luke 23.13-25; John 18.39-19.16)　
　　At every Passover Festival the Roman governor was in the habit of setting free any one prisoner the crowd asked for. At that time there was a well-known prisoner named Jesus Barabbas. So when the crowd gathered, Pilate asked them, "Which one do you want me to set free for you? Jesus Barabbas or Jesus called the Messiah?" He knew very well that the Jewish authorities had handed Jesus over to him because they were jealous.
　　While Pilate was sitting in the judgment hall, his wife sent him a message: "Have nothing to do with that innocent man, because in a dream last night I suffered much on account of him."
　　The chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask Pilate to set Barabbas free and have Jesus put to death. But Pilate asked the crowd, "Which one of these two do you want me to set free for you?"
　　"Barabbas!" they answered.
　　"What, then, shall I do with Jesus called the Messiah?" Pilate asked them.
　　"Crucify him!" they all answered.
　　But Pilate asked, "What crime has he committed?"
　　Then they started shouting at the top of their voices: "Crucify him!"
　　When Pilate saw that it was no use to go on, but that a riot might break out, he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd, and said, "I am not responsible for the death of this man! This is your doing!"[注解]　
　　The whole crowd answered, "Let the responsibility for his death fall on us and on our children!"
　　Then Pilate set Barabbas free for them; and after he had Jesus whipped, he handed him over to be crucified.
　　The Soldiers Make Fun of Jesus
(Mark 15.16-20; John 19.2, 3)　
　　Then Pilate's soldiers took Jesus into the governor's palace, and the whole company gathered around him. They stripped off his clothes and put a scarlet robe on him. Then they made a crown out of thorny branches and placed it on his head, and put a stick in his right hand; then they knelt before him and made fun of him. "Long live the King of the Jews!" they said. They spat on him, and took the stick and hit him over the head. When they had finished making fun of him, they took the robe off and put his own clothes back on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
　　Jesus Is Crucified
(Mark 15.21-32; Luke 23.26-43; John 19.17-27)　
　　As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene named Simon, and the soldiers forced him to carry Jesus' cross. They came to a place called Golgotha, which means, "The Place of the Skull." There they offered Jesus wine mixed with a bitter substance; but after tasting it, he would not drink it.[注解]　
　　They crucified him and then divided his clothes among them by throwing dice. [注解]　After that they sat there and watched him. Above his head they put the written notice of the accusation against him: "This is Jesus, the King of the Jews." Then they crucified two bandits with Jesus, one on his right and the other on his left.
　　People passing by shook their heads and hurled insults at Jesus: [注解]　"You were going to tear down the Temple and build it back up in three days! Save yourself if you are God's Son! Come on down from the cross!"[注解]　
　　In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the Law and the elders made fun of him: "He saved others, but he cannot save himself Isn't he the king of Israel? If he will come down off the cross now, we will believe in him! He trusts in God and claims to be God's Son. Well, then, let us see if God wants to save him now!"[注解]　
　　Even the bandits who had been crucified with him insulted him in the same way.
　　The Death of Jesus
(Mark 15.33-41; Luke 23.44-49; John 19.28-30)　
　　At noon the whole country was covered with darkness, which lasted for three hours. At about three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud shout, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why did you abandon me?"[注解]　
　　Some of the people standing there heard him and said, "He is calling for Elijah!" One of them ran up at once, took a sponge, soaked it in cheap wine, put it on the end of a stick, and tried to make him drink it.[注解]　
　　But the others said, "Wait, let us see if Elijah is coming to save him!"
　　Jesus again gave a loud cry and breathed his last.
　　Then the curtain hanging in the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split apart, [注解]　the graves broke open, and many of God's people who had died were raised to life. They left the graves, and after Jesus rose from death, they went into the Holy City, where many people saw them.
　　When the army officer and the soldiers with him who were watching Jesus saw the earthquake and everything else that happened, they were terrified and said, "He really was the Son of God!"
　　There were many women there, looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee and helped him. [注解]　Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the wife of Zebedee.
　　The Burial of Jesus
(Mark 15.42-47; Luke 23.50-56; John 19.38-42)　
　　When it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea arrived; his name was Joseph, and he also was a disciple of Jesus. He went into the presence of Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate gave orders for the body to be given to Joseph. So Joseph took it, wrapped it in a new linen sheet, and placed it in his own tomb, which he had just recently dug out of solid rock. Then he rolled a large stone across the entrance to the tomb and went away. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there, facing the tomb.
　　The Guard at the Tomb　
　　The next day, which was a Sabbath, the chief priests and the Pharisees met with Pilate and said, "Sir, we remember that while that liar was still alive he said, 'I will be raised to life three days later.' [注解]　Give orders, then, for his tomb to be carefully guarded until the third day, so that his disciples will not be able to go and steal the body, and then tell the people that he was raised from death. This last lie would be even worse than the first one."
　　"Take a guard," Pilate told them; "go and make the tomb as secure as you can."
　　So they left and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and leaving the guard on watch.
