约翰福音-John 19章6~10 节
19:6 |
祭司长和差役看见祂,就喊着说,钉祂十字架!钉祂十字架!彼拉多说,你们自己把祂带去钉十字架吧,因为我查不出祂有什么该定罪的。 When therefore the chief priests and the attendants saw Him, they cried out, saying, Crucify! Crucify! Pilate said to them, You take Him and crucify Him, for I do not find fault in Him. |
19:7 |
犹太人回答说,我们有律法,按那律法祂是该死的,因祂自命为神的儿子。 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to that law He ought to die because He made Himself the Son of God. |
19:8 |
彼拉多听见这话,就越发害怕, When Pilate therefore heard this word, he became frightened the more, |
19:9 |
又进总督府,对耶稣说,你是那里来的?耶稣却不回答。 And he entered into the praetorium again and said to Jesus, Where are You from? But Jesus gave him no answer. |
19:10 |
彼拉多对祂说,你不对我说话么?你岂不知我有权柄释放你,也有权柄把你钉十字架么? Therefore Pilate said to Him, You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You and I have authority to crucify You? |
Enlightenment:
The Gentile politician, Pilate, knew and declared that the Lord Jesus had no fault, yet he still sentenced Him to death in order to please the Jewish people (18:38a-39; 19:1, 4-5, 8-14, 16). How political he was! Religion and politics worked together to pronounce the unjust sentence upon Christ. Politics did not take the initiative; it was religion which took the initiative, utilizing the power of dark politics.
亮光
彼拉多这外邦的政客,知道也宣告主耶稣无罪,却仍判了祂死罪,以讨好犹太百姓。(约十八38上~39,十九1,4~5,8~14,16。)他是何等的政治!宗教和政治合作,对基督作了不公正的判决。带头作这事的不是政治,乃是宗教;宗教利用黑暗政治的权势作了这事。
