This study offers a fresh explanation for the characterisation of the women in Luke 23.27 as mourning. It argues that the uniquely Lukan material of women mourning on the walk to Calvary subtly fashions that walk into a funeral procession. The phrase μὴ κλαίɛτɛ in the following verse, Luke 23.28, recalls accounts of Jesus bringing the dead to life earlier in the Gospel, thereby evoking the concept of resurrection. Luke 23.27-8 works in conjunction with material later in Chapter 23 about the ritual preparation of Jesus’ body, to portray funerary ritual for Jesus conducted in reverse (the funeral procession precedes rather than follows the preparation of the body). This inverted order of funeral allusions adds extra resonance to the endpoint of the Gospel, casting it as the logical culmination of a reverse funeral—the resurrection of Jesus from death to life. The interpretation in this paper highlights one way that lived ritual experiences among the Gospel's readers, in this case, the paradigm of funeral ritual, informed the narrative technique in the Gospel of Luke, complementing other well-recognised uses of Greco-Roman rhetorical devices and literary themes.

阅读路加福音作为送葬队伍步行到加略山：路加福音 23.27-8 研究

这项研究为路加福音 23.27 中妇女的哀悼特征提供了新的解释。它认为，卢坎独特的女性在走向各各他的路上哀悼的材料巧妙地塑造了走进葬礼队伍的风格。接下来的经文（路加福音 23.28）中的短语 μὴ κλαίɛτɛ 让人回想起早期福音中耶稣使死者复活的记载，从而唤起了复活的概念。路加福音 23.27-8 章与第 23 章后面有关耶稣遗体准备仪式的材料结合起来，描绘了以相反方式进行的耶稣葬礼仪式（送葬队伍在准备遗体之前，而不是在准备遗体之后）。这种颠倒顺序的葬礼典故为福音的终点增添了额外的共鸣，将其视为颠倒葬礼的逻辑高潮——耶稣从死里复活到生命。本文的解释强调了福音书读者中仪式体验的一种方式，在这种情况下，葬礼仪式的范式为《路加福音》中的叙事技巧提供了信息，补充了希腊罗马修辞手段和其他公认的用法。文学主题。
