第四十
十架上的恩典

Day 49
Grace on the Cross

今日读经

  • 路加福音 23:39-56

39同钉的犯人中有一个讥笑他,说:“你不是基督吗?救救你自己和我们吧!” 40另一个就应声责备他,说:“你是一样受刑的,还不怕上帝吗? 41我们是应得的,因为我们是自作自受,但这个人没有做过一件不对的事。” 42他对耶稣说:“耶稣啊,你进入你国的时候,求你记念我。” 43耶稣对他说:“我实在告诉你,今日你要同我在乐园里了。”

耶稣之死

44那时大约是正午,全地都黑暗了,直到下午三点钟, 45太阳变黑了,殿的幔子从当中裂为两半。 46耶稣大声喊着说:“父啊,我将我的灵交在你手里!”他说了这话,气就断了。 47百夫长看见所发生的事,就归荣耀给上帝,说:“这人真是个义人!” 48聚集观看这事的众人,见了所发生的事,都捶着胸回去了。 49所有与耶稣熟悉的人,和从加利利跟着他来的妇女们,都远远地站着,看这些事。

耶稣的安葬

50有一个人名叫约瑟,是个议员,为人善良正直, 51却没有附从别人的所谋所为。他是犹太亚利马太城人,素常盼望着上帝的国。 52这人去见彼拉多,请求要耶稣的身体。 53他把耶稣的身体取下来,用细麻布裹好,安放在凿岩而成的坟墓里;那坟墓从来没有葬过人。 54那日是预备日,安息日快到了。 55那些从加利利和耶稣同来的妇女跟在后面,看见了坟墓和他的身体怎样安放。 56她们就回去,预备了香料香膏。在安息日,她们遵照诫命安息了。

Today's Bible Reading

  • Luke 23:39-56

39 One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!” 40But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” 42And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” 43And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

The Death of Jesus

44 It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, 45while the sun’s light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having said this he breathed his last. 47Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God, saying, “Certainly this man was innocent!” 48And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts. 49And all his acquaintances and the women who had followed him from Galilee stood at a distance watching these things.

Jesus Is Buried

50 Now there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man, 51who had not consented to their decision and action; and he was looking for the kingdom of God. 52This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud and laid him in a tomb cut in stone, where no one had ever yet been laid. 54It was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was beginning. 55The women who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid. 56Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments.

On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
