若望所載主耶穌基督的受難始末 18:1-19:42
（拘捕了耶穌，把他捆綁起來。）
敘述：那時候，耶穌和門徒出去，到了克德龍溪的對岸。在那裡，有一個園子，耶穌和門徒便進去了。出賣耶穌的猶達斯也知道那地方，因為耶穌同門徒，曾多次在那裡聚集。
猶達斯便領了一隊兵，和由司祭長及法利塞人派來的差役，帶著火把、燈籠與武器，來到那裡。耶穌既知道要臨於他身上的一切，便上前去問他們說：
耶穌：「你們找誰？」
敘述：他們回答說：
群眾：「納匝肋人耶穌。」
敘述：耶穌向他們說：
耶穌：「我就是。」
敘述：出賣耶穌的猶達斯，也同他們站在一起。耶穌一對他們說：「我就是」，他們便倒退，跌在地上。於是，耶穌又問他們說：
耶穌：「你們找誰？」
敘述：他們說：
群眾：「納匝肋人耶穌。」
敘述：耶穌回答說：
耶穌：「我已給你們說了『我就是』；你們既然找我，就讓這些人走吧！」
敘述：這是為應驗耶穌先前所說過的話：「你賜給我的人，我連一個也沒有喪失。」
西滿伯多祿有一把劍，就拔出來，向大司祭的一個僕人砍去，削下了他的右耳；那僕人名叫瑪耳曷。耶穌就對伯多祿說：
耶穌：「把劍收入鞘內！父賜給我的杯，我怎能不喝呢？」
（先解送耶穌到亞納斯那裡）
敘述：於是，兵隊、千夫長和猶太人的差役，拘捕了耶穌，把他捆綁起來，先解送到亞納斯那裡；亞納斯是當年的大司祭蓋法的岳父。就是這個蓋法，曾給猶太人出過主意：叫一個人替百姓死，是有利的。
那時，西滿伯多祿同另一個門徒，跟著耶穌。
那門徒是大司祭所認識的，便同耶穌一起，進入了大司祭的庭院；伯多祿卻站在門外。大司祭認識的那個門徒出來，對看門的侍女說了一聲，就領伯多祿進去。
那看門的侍女對伯多祿說：
侍女：「你不也是這人的其中一個門徒嗎？」
敘述：伯多祿說：
伯多祿：「我不是。」
敘述：那時，僕人和差役，因為天冷，就生了炭火，站著烤火取暖；伯多祿也同他們站在一起，烤火取暖。
大司祭審問耶穌，關於他收徒和施教的事。
耶穌回答他說：
耶穌：「我向來公開對世人講話；我常常在會堂和聖殿內，即眾猶太人所聚集的地方施教；在暗地裡，我並沒有講過什麼。你為什麼問我？你問那些聽過我的人：我給他們講了什麼；他們知道我所說的。」
敘述：耶穌剛說完這話，侍立在旁的一個差役，就打了耶穌一個耳光，說：
差役：「你就這樣答覆大司祭嗎？」
敘述：耶穌回答他說：
耶穌：「我如果說得不對，你指證那裡不對；如果我說得對，你為什麼打我？」
敘述：亞納斯於是把耶穌捆綁，解送到大司祭蓋法那裡。
（你不也是他門徒中的一個嗎？我不是。）
敘述：西滿伯多祿仍站著烤火取暖。於是，有人向他說：
群眾：「你不也是他門徒中的一個嗎？」
敘述：伯多祿否認說：
伯多祿：「我不是。」
敘述：有大司祭的一個僕役，是被伯多祿削下耳朵那人的親戚，對伯多祿說：
僕役：「我不是在山園中，看見你同他在一起嗎？」
敘述：伯多祿又否認了，立刻雞就叫了。
（我的國不屬於這世界）
敘述：然後，他們從蓋法那裡，把耶穌解往總督府。那時是清晨；他們自己卻沒有進入總督府，怕受了沾污，而不能吃逾越節羔羊。
因此，比拉多出來，到外面，向他們說：
比拉多：「你們對這人提出什麼控告？」
敘述：他們回答說：
群眾：「如果這人不是作惡的，我們便不會把他交給你。」
敘述：比拉多便對他們說：
比拉多：「你們自己把他帶去，按照你們的法律審判他吧！」
敘述：猶太人回答說：
群眾：「我們沒有權力處死任何人！」
敘述：這是為應驗耶穌論及自己將怎樣死去，而說過的話。於是，比拉多又進了總督府，叫耶穌過來，對他說：
比拉多：「你是猶太人的君王嗎？」
敘述：耶穌回答說：
耶穌：「這話是你自己說的，或是別人論及我，而對你說的？」
敘述：比拉多回答說：
比拉多：「莫非我是猶太人？你的民族和司祭長，把你交給我，你做了什麼？」
敘述：耶穌回答說：
耶穌：「我的國不屬於這世界；如果我的國屬於這世界，我的臣民早已反抗了，使我不至於被交給猶太人；但是，我的國不是這世界的。」
敘述：於是，比拉多對耶穌說：
比拉多：「那麼，你就是君王了？」
敘述：耶穌回答說：
耶穌：「你說的是，我是君王。我為此而生，我也為此而來到世界上，為給真理作證；凡屬於真理的，必聽從我的聲音。」
敘述：比拉多於是說：
比拉多：「什麼是真理？」
敘述：說了這話，比拉多再出去，到猶太人那裡，向他們說：
比拉多：「我在這人身上，查不出什麼罪狀。你們有個慣例：在逾越節，我該給你們釋放一人；那麼，你們願意我給你們釋放猶太人的君王嗎？」
敘述：他們就大聲喊說：
群眾：「不要這人，而要巴辣巴！」
敘述：巴辣巴原是個強盜。
（猶太人的君王，萬歲！）
敘述：那時，比拉多命人把耶穌帶去鞭打。然後，兵士們用荊棘，編了個茨冠，放在耶穌頭上，給他披上一件紫紅袍，來到他面前，說：
眾士兵：「猶太人的君王，萬歲！」
敘述：兵士並打了耶穌耳光。
比拉多又出去，到外面，向他們說：
比拉多：「看，我帶他出來，為叫你們知道：我在他身上，查不出什麼罪狀。」
敘述：於是，耶穌戴著茨冠，披著紫紅袍出來。
比拉多就對他們說：
比拉多：「看，這個人！」
敘述：司祭長和差役，一看見耶穌，就喊說：
群眾：「釘在十字架上！釘他在十字架上！」
敘述：比拉多對他們說：
比拉多：「你們把他帶去，釘在十字架上吧！我在他身上，查不出什麼罪狀。」
敘述：猶太人回答他說：
群眾：「我們有法律；按法律，他應該死，因為他自命為天主子。」
敘述：比拉多聽了這話，越發害怕，於是又進了總督府，對耶穌說：
比拉多：「你到底是那裡的？」
敘述：耶穌卻沒有回答比拉多。
於是，比拉多對耶穌說：
比拉多：「你對我也不說話嗎？你不知道我有權釋放你，也有權釘你在十字架上嗎？」
敘述：耶穌回答說：
耶穌：「如果不是上天賜給你，你對我什麼權柄也沒有；為此，把我交給你的人，罪過更大。」
（除掉他，除掉他，釘他在十字架上！）
敘述：從此，比拉多設法要釋放耶穌；猶太人卻喊說：
群眾：「你如果釋放這人，你就不是凱撒的朋友，因為凡自命為王的，就是背叛凱撒。」
敘述：比拉多一聽這話，就把耶穌領出來，到了一個名叫「石舖地」──希伯來話叫「加巴達」的地方，坐在審判座上。時值逾越節的預備日，約莫第六時辰，比拉多對猶太人說：
比拉多：「看，你們的君王！」
敘述：他們喊叫說：
群眾：「除掉他，除掉他，釘他在十字架上！」
敘述：比拉多對他們說：
比拉多：「要我把你們的君王，釘在十字架上嗎？」
敘述：眾司祭長回答說：
眾司祭長：「除了凱撒，我們沒有君王。」
敘述：於是，比拉多把耶穌交給他們去釘死。
（同耶穌一起被釘的，還有兩個人。）
敘述：他們就把耶穌帶走。耶穌自己背著十字架出來，到了一個名叫「髑髏」的地方，希伯來話叫「哥耳哥達」。他們就在那裡，把耶穌釘在十字架上。同耶穌一起被釘的，還有兩個人：一個在這邊，一個在那邊，耶穌在中間。
比拉多寫了一個牌子，放在十字架上端，寫的是：「納匝肋人耶穌，猶太人的君王。」
這牌子有許多猶太人看了，因為耶穌被釘十字架的地方，離城很近；字是用希伯來、拉丁和希臘文寫的。
於是，猶太人的司祭長，就對比拉多說：
眾司祭長：「不要寫『猶太人的君王』，該寫他自己說：我是猶太人的君王。」
敘述：比拉多回答說：
比拉多：「我寫了，就寫了。」
（他們瓜分了我的衣服）
敘述：兵士將耶穌釘在十字架上後，拿了他的衣服，分成四分，每人一分；又拿了他的長衣；因那長衣是無縫的，由上到下渾然織成，所以他們彼此說：
眾兵士：「我們不要把它撕開；我們擲骰，看是誰的。」
敘述：這就應驗了經上的話：『他們瓜分了我的衣服；為我的長衣，他們拈鬮。』士兵果然這樣做了。
（看，你的兒子！看，你的母親！）
敘述：在耶穌的十字架旁，站著他的母親，和他母親的姊妹，還有克羅帕的妻子瑪利亞，和瑪利亞瑪達肋納。
耶穌看見母親，又看見他所愛的門徒，站在旁邊，就對母親說：
耶穌：「女人，看，你的兒子！」
敘述：然後，又對那門徒說：
耶穌：「看，你的母親！」
敘述：就從那時起，那門徒把她接到自己家裡。
（完成了）
敘述：此後，耶穌因知道一切都完成了，為應驗經上的話，於是說：
耶穌：「我渴。」
敘述：有一個盛滿了醋的器皿，放在那裡；有人便將海綿浸滿了醋，綁在長槍上，送到耶穌口邊。
耶穌一嘗了那醋，便說：
耶穌：「完成了。」
敘述：耶穌就低下頭，交付了靈魂。
跪下默禱片刻
（立刻就流出血和水）
敘述：猶太人因那日子是預備日，免得安息日內──那安息日原是個大節日──屍首留在十字架上，就來請求比拉多，打斷他們的腿，把他們拿去。兵士於是前來，把第一個人的，並與耶穌同釘在十字架上的，第二個人的腿，打斷了。可是，及至來到耶穌面前，看見耶穌已經死了，就沒有打斷他的腿；但是，有一個士兵，用槍刺透了他的肋膀，立刻就流出了血和水。
那看見的，就作證，而他的見證，是真實的；並且「那位」知道他所說的，是真實的，為叫你們也相信。這些事發生，正應驗了經上的話：「不可將他的骨頭打斷。」經上另一處，又說：「他們要瞻望他們所刺透的。」
（他們取下了耶穌的遺體，用殮布和香料，把他裹好。）
敘述：這些事以後，阿黎瑪特雅人若瑟──他因怕猶太人，暗中作了耶穌的門徒──來求比拉多，為領取耶穌的遺體；比拉多允許了。
於是，他來把耶穌的遺體領去了。
那以前夜間來見耶穌的尼苛德摩，也來了，帶著沒藥及沉香調和的香料，約有一百斤。他們取下了耶穌的遺體，照猶太人埋葬的習俗，用殮布和香料把他裹好。
在耶穌被釘十字架的地方，有一個園子，在那園子裡，有一座新墳墓，裡面還沒有安葬過人。只因是猶太人的預備日，墳墓又近，就在那裡安葬了耶穌。

(Good Friday of the Lord’s Passion)
A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 18:1-19:42
Jesus went out with his disciples across the Kidron valley to where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered. Judas his betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples. So Judas got a band of soldiers and guards from the chief priests and the Pharisees and went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. Jesus, knowing everything that was going to happen to him, went out and said to them, “Whom are you looking for?” They answered him, “Jesus the Nazorean.” He said to them, “I AM.” Judas his betrayer was also with them. When he said to them, “I AM, ” they turned away and fell to the ground. So he again asked them, “Whom are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus the Nazorean.” Jesus answered, “I told you that I AM. So if you are looking for me, let these men go.” This was to fulfill what he had said, “I have not lost any of those you gave me.” Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear. The slave’s name was Malchus. Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup that the Father gave me?”
So the band of soldiers, the tribune, and the Jewish guards seized Jesus, bound him, and brought him to Annas first. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. It was Caiaphas who had counseled the Jews that it was better that one man should die rather than the people.
Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. Now the other disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered the courtyard of the high priest with Jesus. But Peter stood at the gate outside. So the other disciple, the acquaintance of the high priest, went out and spoke to the gatekeeper and brought Peter in. Then the maid who was the gatekeeper said to Peter, “You are not one of this man’s disciples, are you?” He said, “I am not.” Now the slaves and the guards were standing around a charcoal fire that they had made, because it was cold, and were warming themselves. Peter was also standing there keeping warm.
The high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his doctrine. Jesus answered him, “I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in a synagogue or in the temple area where all the Jews gather, and in secret I have said nothing. Why ask me? Ask those who heard me what I said to them. They know what I said.” When he had said this, one of the temple guards standing there struck Jesus and said, “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?” Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
Now Simon Peter was standing there keeping warm. And they said to him, “You are not one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.” One of the slaves of the high priest, a relative of the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?” Again Peter denied it. And immediately the cock crowed.
Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium. It was morning. And they themselves did not enter the praetorium, in order not to be defiled so that they could eat the Passover. So Pilate came out to them and said, “What charge do you bring against this man?” They answered and said to him, “If he were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you.” At this, Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” The Jews answered him, “We do not have the right to execute anyone, ” in order that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled that he said indicating the kind of death he would die. So Pilate went back into the praetorium and summoned Jesus and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered, “Do you say this on your own or have others told you about me?” Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?” Jesus answered, “My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not here.” So Pilate said to him, “Then you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”
When he had said this, he again went out to the Jews and said to them, “I find no guilt in him. But you have a custom that I release one prisoner to you at Passover. Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” They cried out again, “Not this one but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.
Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged. And the soldiers wove a crown out of thorns and placed it on his head, and clothed him in a purple cloak, and they came to him and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they struck him repeatedly. Once more Pilate went out and said to them, “Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no guilt in him.” So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple cloak. And he said to them, “Behold, the man!” When the chief priests and the guards saw him they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him. I find no guilt in him.” The Jews answered, “We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.” Now when Pilate heard this statement, he became even more afraid, and went back into the praetorium and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” Jesus did not answer him. So Pilate said to him, “Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you and I have power to crucify you?” Jesus answered him, “You would have no power over me if it had not been given to you from above. For this reason the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin.” Consequently, Pilate tried to release him; but the Jews cried out, “If you release him, you are not a Friend of Caesar. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar.”
When Pilate heard these words he brought Jesus out and seated him on the judge’s bench in the place called Stone Pavement, in Hebrew, Gabbatha. It was preparation day for Passover, and it was about noon. And he said to the Jews, “Behold, your king!” They cried out, “Take him away, take him away! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your king?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.” Then he handed him over to them to be crucified.
So they took Jesus, and, carrying the cross himself, he went out to what is called the Place of the Skull, in Hebrew, Golgotha. There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle. Pilate also had an inscription written and put on the cross. It read, “Jesus the Nazorean, the King of the Jews.” Now many of the Jews read this inscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that he said, ‘I am the King of the Jews’.” Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four shares, a share for each soldier. They also took his tunic, but the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top down. So they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it will be, ” in order that the passage of Scripture might be fulfilled that says: They divided my garments among them, and for my vesture they cast lots. This is what the soldiers did. Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I thirst.” There was a vessel filled with common wine. So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop and put it up to his mouth. When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, “It is finished.” And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit.
Here all kneel and pause for a short time.
Now since it was preparation day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one, the Jews asked Pilate that their legs be broken and that they be taken down. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and then of the other one who was crucified with Jesus. But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs, but one soldier thrust his lance into his side, and immediately blood and water flowed out. An eyewitness has testified, and his testimony is true; he knows that he is speaking the truth, so that you also may come to believe. For this happened so that the Scripture passage might be fulfilled: Not a bone of it will be broken. And again another passage says: They will look upon him whom they have pierced.
After this, Joseph of Arimathea, secretly a disciple of Jesus for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. And Pilate permitted it. So he came and took his body. Nicodemus, the one who had first come to him at night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about one hundred pounds. They took the body of Jesus and bound it with burial cloths along with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom. Now in the place where he had been crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been buried. So they laid Jesus there because of the Jewish preparation day; for the tomb was close by.
