一﹑本週經文Scriptures: 約翰福音19:1-6 John
1當下彼拉多將耶穌鞭打了。2兵丁用荊棘編做冠冕戴在他頭上,給他穿上紫袍,3又挨近他,說:恭喜,猶太人的王啊!他們就用手掌打他。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什麼罪來。5耶穌出來,戴著荊棘冠冕,穿著紫袍。彼拉多對他們說:你們看這個人!6祭司長和差役看見他,就喊著說: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!我查不出他有什麼罪來。
1 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. 2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe 3 and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” And they slapped him in the face. 4 Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews gathered there, “Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.” 5 When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!” 6 As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!”
