1. Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged Him.

2. And after platting a crown of thorns, the soldiers put it on His head; and they threw a purple cloak over Him,

3. And kept on saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they struck Him with the palms of their hands.

4. Then Pilate went out again and said to them, “Behold, I bring Him out to you, so that you may know that I do not find any fault in Him.”

5. Then Jesus went out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple cloak; and he said to them, “Behold the Man!”

6. But when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried aloud, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!” Pilate said to them, “You take Him and crucify Him because I do not find any fault in Him.”

7. The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to our law it is mandatory that He die, because He made Himself the Son of God.”

8. Therefore, when Pilate heard this saying, he was even more afraid.

9. And he went into the judgment hall again, and said to Jesus, “Where have You come from?” But Jesus did not give him an answer.

10. Then Pilate said to Him, “Why don’t You speak to me? Don’t You know that I have authority to crucify You, and authority to release You?”

11. Jesus answered, “You would not have any authority against Me if it were not given to you from above. For this reason, the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.” (A Faithful Version)

1. 猶太人不肯放,彼拉多把耶穌交出,以鞭打之刑處之。

2. 兵丁以荊棘作冠冕,戴在其頭上,又把紫色的斗篷披在其身上,

3. 不停地呼叫:猶太人的王萬歲!用手掌打他的臉。

4. 彼拉多再次出現,對猶太人說:會叫他出來,是讓你們曉得,我查不出他有可過錯。

5. 耶穌版帶出來,頭戴荊棘冠冕,穿著紫色斗篷。彼拉多對眾人說:你們看這個人!

6. 在場的祭司長和差役看見,就大聲喊叫:釘他十字架!釘他十字架!彼拉多回應:要釘,你們自己去釘吧,我實在查不出他犯何罪。

7. 這些猶太人回答說:我們是有規定,按那律法,他是該死的,因他以自稱為神的兒子。

8. 彼拉多聽到這話,就有點驚恐起來。

9. 他就回轉向議事大堂,對耶穌說:你究竟是從哪裡來?耶穌卻不回答。

10. 彼拉多就對耶穌說:為什麼不說話?你知道我是有權柄將你釘十字架,也有權去釋放你?

11. 耶穌這樣回說:這權柄若不是從上天賜予,你就沒有權力辦我。把我交給你的那人,他所犯的錯是更大。

https://factsanddetails.com/world/cat56/sub408/entry-6360.html 內文中有一段描述釘十架這刑罰是很少用:羅馬人會應用此刑罰,這點毋庸置疑。關於猶太人……是否真的會任意將人釘十字架,這點就不確定。有證據表明,釘十字架確實發生過,,那是法利賽人的成員,有曾被釘死在十字架上的記載,大概在耶穌誕生前一個半世紀,仍存在爭議。把人釘十架,是一種羅馬式的處決方式,用於政治罪名,並會公開處決。

耶穌被猶太決定釘上十架,這點是無庸置疑。

至於猶太人的祭司和群眾為何出面,法利賽人卻在暗地裡策動,這是領袖的本領。

這處有些反應值得去思考:

1. 彼拉多的反應

作為行政官員,是為政權。當然更為自己的前途,因此在考量耶穌這事該如何處理,就有許多計算。按約翰的記載,這官算是守法按情去著量。他也考量去釋放耶穌,只有一個條件,叫耶穌開口求他,因為他有釋放的權柄。只是當耶穌對他說,你的權柄是有神的準許。彼拉多聽不明。

2. 耶穌的反應

當猶太人稱耶穌為王,可是耶穌這王跟他們在觀念上是不同。耶穌這王是基於光明的真實道理的基礎上。而猶太領袖,他們的王是在地位帶來的權柄上。

彼拉多說求他,就會得釋放,耶穌沒有說話。那是因為他能聽明耶穌說的真正的權柄是什麼,就不會說這樣的話。神如人真正的權柄是有釋放之能,這釋放在單可以在肉身,更可以在心靈的深處,就是神早為人預備,去釋放人。只可惜,人把它用私慾遮蔽,就如彼拉多。耶穌讓人知道,神給人權柄去釋放自己和別人。

3. 祭司和群眾的反應

這群是亞伯拉罕之後,經歷卜許多的事,總想用人的方法,他們羨慕就是強國那種權柄,作為信仰群體中的領袖,耶穌說這些領袖本應是牧羊人的心態,愛惜羊。可惜的是,這些祭司和法利賽人有的心思,在運用權柄的時候,是以自己為王的心態。這些領袖也不明權柄的來源和應用的方式,他們默認自己有權,就以王的心態行事,而不是以牧羊人的心態。

今日回看這段經文,這些不同人不同的心態,豈不是正在發生,這三烘別的情況,同樣出現在每個人的身邊,是何等真實的寫照,就在眼前。你是那一種?
