44. Now it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.

45. And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was split down the middle.

46. And after crying out with a loud voice, Jesus said, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit.” And when He had said these things, He expired.

47. Now after seeing the things that took place, the centurion glorified God, saying, “Truly, this Man was righteous.”

48. And all the people who had gathered together to this sight, after seeing the things that took place, returned beating their breasts.

49. But all those who knew Him stood off at a distance observing these things, the women also who had accompanied Him from Galilee.

50. And behold, there came a man named Joseph, a member of the council, a good and righteous man,

51. (He did not consent to the council and their deed) from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, and who was also himself waiting for the kingdom of God.

52. He, after going to Pilate, begged for the body of Jesus.

53. And after taking it down, he wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb hewn in a rock, in which no one had ever been laid.

54. Now it was a preparation day, and a Sabbath was coming on.

55. And the women also, who had come with Him from Galilee, followed and saw the tomb, and how His body was laid.

56. And they returned to the city, and prepared spices and ointments, and then rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment. (A Faithful Version)

44. 執法的時間約早上六時,只是當時遍地黑暗,直至第九個小時。

45. 與此同時,當日頭變黑,聖殿內院的幔子,從中間裂開。

46. 被釘的耶穌大喊:父啊,我將靈交付你手。說完,氣斷。

47. 百夫長看見發生的事,就歸榮耀與神,說:真的,他是個義人。

48. 一眾觀看的見到發生的事,當即手搥著胸。

49. 對於認識耶穌的,在一段距離站著觀看這些事發生的過程,當中包括從加利利來的婦女。

50. 觀眾中有一人,名約瑟,是羅馬議會成員,為人善良正直,

51. 來自亞利馬太,是猶太人聚居的地方,他素來盼望彌賽亞國度的臨在。

52. 是他去要求彼拉多,發回耶穌的遺體。

53. 領回了耶穌的遺體,用細麻布裹好,安放在磐石鑿成的墳墓裡。這墳不曾有人用過。

54. 要在這日把一切辦妥,翌日就是安息日。

55. 那些從加利利與耶穌同來的婦女,在旁視察,遺體安放等事是否完滿。

56. 隨後一起回城去預備一些香料和香膏。再按俗例在安息日休息。

路加有許多細節的描述:1.天上有異象、2.地上有現象、3.留下遺言、4.羅馬議會的猶太成籍成員代領遺體、5.婦女出席整個預備禮儀,並為再去守禮作準備。

1. 天上異象:一段幾小時不尋常的現象。這是在研讀時產生許多疑問的地方。在東西文化上似乎有共通也有不同。在通俗文化的理解,這處顯然是凶。這凶是對誰而言?

2. 地上有的現象:聖殿內院的幔子裂開。這更為少有,特別是同步發生,這現象有其特殊性。似乎是可以代入許多不同的心情。

3. 留下遺言: 父啊,我將靈交付你手。是感情的表述不假,是對那位創造者說,還是對人一種揭示?也許更重要的是:耶穌是個靈,約翰的說法是真道成了肉身。每個相信的,都各自有自己的際遇,時間和有不同,方式也都不一樣,最為無遺憾的,是說一聲:盡了,回來見祢。

4. 羅馬議會的猶大籍議員:對耶穌後事出手幫助,這舉動似乎有許多可以探討的地方。更為精彩的描述是他相信耶穌傳講的內容,對耶穌的尊重,以自己的權力,作出維護耶穌身後事的安排。也許沒有他的出頭,這邦猶太人對耶穌的遺體,也許有不可告人的處理。這是相信當中有反領受,腦筋比誰都靈活,是因為知識讓他明白當中可以操作的空間,例如權力。

5. 婦女的準備:她們的分辨能力比男性優異。愛心因為養育比男姓更大。因為當時環境是男權謀生的制度,在這樣唯一選擇是與婚姻連線,養成了可以無限的忍耐,
這份智慧源自夏娃的決定。她們細心沉穩辨事有條理,預備香料香膏應是為下葬作準備,因為安息日什麼事都不能做。當時不同今日的方便。

這一切發生在安息日的前一天。似乎有點與神創造時,一切完工之後,休息有同等的意義。耶穌休息去了,被差的使命沒有與人立約,沒有跟當時的使徒立,為此有人背叛有人離去。是否耶穌就是要指明一事,[約]從來是相方在同意之下立的,耶穌的 [約] 就因被釘,成了代贖,是以無罪之身,為人的犯事成就了獻祭,也成了[約]的本身,不是放下不理,而是願意就來?這是個口頭約定?有保證?這一切都沒有必然,都在一個[信]字,只是[信]有個榜樣用以證明耶和華的可靠,有位亞伯拉罕和他的後人,作出了守約的憑證,算是客觀的事實可以讓人查證。

一般人從現今回顧這些事,可以探討的話題很多。只是提阿非羅是聽過的,就發在他不久之前,這記述想必仍有印象。對他而言,那是事實,按其真實判斷而相信,也許會對他產生許多人生的啟迪,因為那是生存的另一種原則和不同的精神領域。若在心靈中產生小許激盪,都有機會改變過來。
