PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Entonces toda la asamblea se levantó y llevó a Jesús ante Pilato.
1 The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.
1 Καὶ ἀναστὰν ἅπαν τὸ πλῆθος αὐτῶν ἤγαγον αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸν Πιλᾶτον.
2 Comenzaron a acusarlo, diciendo: Hemos encontrado a este hombre alborotando a nuestra nación, prohibiendo pagar impuestos a César, y diciendo que él mismo es el Cristo, un rey.
2 They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”
2 ἤρξαντο δὲ κατηγορεῖν αὐτοῦ λέγοντες· τοῦτον εὕρομεν διαστρέφοντα τὸ ἔθνος καὶ κωλύοντα Καίσαρι φόρους διδόναι, λέγοντα ἑαυτὸν Χριστὸν βασιλέα εἶναι.
3 Pilato le preguntó: ¿Eres tú el Rey de los judíos? Jesús le respondió: Tú lo dices.
3 Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”
3 ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὸν λέγων· σὺ εἶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων; ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς αὐτῷ ἔφη· σὺ λέγεις.
4 Entonces Pilato dijo a los principales sacerdotes y a la gente: No encuentro culpa en este hombre.
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
4 ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος εἶπε πρὸς τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ τοὺς ὄχλους ὅτι οὐδὲν εὑρίσκω αἴτιον ἐν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τούτῳ.
5 Pero ellos insistían con más fuerza, diciendo: Alborota al pueblo, enseñando por toda Judea, desde Galilea hasta aquí.
5 But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”
5 οἱ δὲ ἐπίσχυον λέγοντες ὅτι ἀνασείει τὸν λαὸν διδάσκων καθ᾽ ὅλης τῆς Ἰουδαίας, ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ἕως ὧδε.
6 Cuando Pilato oyó Galilea, preguntó si el hombre era galileo.
6 But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
6 Πιλᾶτος δὲ ἀκούσας Γαλιλαίαν ἐπηρώτησεν εἰ ὁ ἄνθρωπος Γαλιλαῖός ἐστι,
7 Al saber que pertenecía a la jurisdicción de Herodes, lo envió a Herodes, quien también estaba en Jerusalén en aquellos días.
7 When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.
7 καὶ ἐπιγνοὺς ὅτι ἐκ τῆς ἐξουσίας Ἡρῴδου ἐστίν, ἀνέπεμψεν αὐτὸν πρὸς Ἡρῴδην, ὄντα καὶ αὐτὸν ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις ἐν ταύταις ταῖς ἡμέραις.
8 Al ver a Jesús, Herodes se alegró mucho, porque hacía mucho tiempo quería verlo. Había oído muchas cosas acerca de él, y esperaba verlo hacer alguna señal.
8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.
8 ὁ δὲ Ἡρῴδης ἰδὼν τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἐχάρη λίαν· ἦν γὰρ ἐξ ἱκανοῦ θέλων ἰδεῖν αὐτὸν διὰ τὸ ἀκούειν αὐτὸν πολλὰ περὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἤλπιζέ τι σημεῖον ἰδεῖν ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ γινόμενον.
9 Le hizo muchas preguntas, pero Jesús no le respondió nada.
9 He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
9 ἐπηρώτα δὲ αὐτὸν ἐν λόγοις ἱκανοῖς· αὐτὸς δὲ οὐδὲν ἀπεκρίνατο αὐτῷ.
10 Los principales sacerdotes y los escribas estaban allí, acusándolo con mucha fuerza.
10 The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
10 εἱστήκεισαν δὲ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς εὐτόνως κατηγοροῦντες αὐτοῦ.
11 Entonces Herodes, con sus soldados, lo trató con desprecio y se burló de él. Lo vistió con una ropa espléndida y lo envió de vuelta a Pilato.
11 Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
11 ἐξουθενήσας δὲ αὐτὸν ὁ Ἡρῴδης σὺν τοῖς στρατεύμασιν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐμπαίξας, περιβαλὼν αὐτὸν ἐσθῆτα λαμπρὰν ἀνέπεμψεν αὐτὸν τῷ Πιλάτῳ.
12 Aquel mismo día, Pilato y Herodes se hicieron amigos, porque antes estaban enemistados.
12 Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
12 ἐγένοντο δὲ φίλοι ὅ τε Ἡρῴδης καὶ ὁ Πιλᾶτος ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ μετ᾽ ἀλλήλων· προϋπῆρχον γὰρ ἐν ἔχθρᾳ ὄντες πρὸς ἑαυτούς.
13 Pilato reunió a los principales sacerdotes, a los gobernantes y al pueblo,
13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
13 Πιλᾶτος δὲ συγκαλεσάμενος τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας καὶ τὸν λαὸν
14 y les dijo: Ustedes me han traído a este hombre como alguien que alborota al pueblo. Pero yo lo he interrogado delante de ustedes, y no he encontrado en él ninguna culpa de las cosas de que lo acusan.
14 and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.
14 εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· προσηνέγκατέ μοι τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦτον ὡς ἀποστρέφοντα τὸν λαόν, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν ἀνακρίνας οὐδὲν εὗρον ἐν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τούτῳ αἴτιον ὧν κατηγορεῖτε κατ᾽ αὐτοῦ.
15 Tampoco Herodes, porque nos lo devolvió. Como ven, no ha hecho nada que merezca la muerte.
15 Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
15 ἀλλ᾽ οὐδὲ Ἡρῴδης· ἀνέπεμψα γὰρ ὑμᾶς πρὸς αὐτόν· καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐδὲν ἄξιον θανάτου ἐστὶ πεπραγμένον αὐτῷ.
16 Por eso lo castigaré y lo soltaré.
16 I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
16 παιδεύσας οὖν αὐτὸν ἀπολύσω.
17 Porque era necesario que les soltara un preso en la fiesta.
17 Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.
17 ἀνάγκην δὲ εἶχεν ἀπολύειν αὐτοῖς κατὰ ἑορτὴν ἕνα.
18 Pero todos gritaron a una voz: ¡Fuera con este! ¡Suéltanos a Barrabás!
18 But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—
18 ἀνέκραξαν δὲ παμπληθεὶ λέγοντες· αἶρε τοῦτον, ἀπόλυσον δὲ ἡμῖν Βαραββᾶν·
19 Barrabás había sido echado en la cárcel por una rebelión en la ciudad y por asesinato.
19 one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
19 ὅστις ἦν διὰ στάσιν τινὰ γενομένην ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ φόνον βεβλημένος εἰς τὴν φυλακήν.
20 Pilato volvió a hablarles, queriendo soltar a Jesús.
20 Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,
20 πάλιν οὖν ὁ Πιλᾶτος προσεφώνησε, θέλων ἀπολῦσαι τὸν Ἰησοῦν.
21 Pero ellos gritaban: ¡Crucifícalo! ¡Crucifícalo!
21 but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
21 οἱ δὲ ἐπεφώνουν λέγοντες· σταύρωσον σταύρωσον αὐτόν.
22 Él les dijo por tercera vez: ¿Pues qué mal ha hecho? No he encontrado en él ninguna culpa que merezca la muerte. Por eso lo castigaré y lo soltaré.
22 He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
22 ὁ δὲ τρίτον εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· τί γὰρ κακὸν ἐποίησεν οὗτος; οὐδὲν ἄξιον θανάτου εὗρον ἐν αὐτῷ· παιδεύσας οὖν αὐτὸν ἀπολύσω.
23 Pero ellos insistían a grandes voces, pidiendo que fuera crucificado. Y sus voces y las de los principales sacerdotes prevalecieron.
23 But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.
23 οἱ δὲ ἐπέκειντο φωναῖς μεγάλαις αἰτούμενοι αὐτὸν σταυρωθῆναι, καὶ κατίσχυον αἱ φωναὶ αὐτῶν καὶ τῶν ἀρχιερέων.
24 Entonces Pilato decidió que se hiciera lo que ellos pedían.
24 Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
24 ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος ἐπέκρινε γενέσθαι τὸ αἴτημα αὐτῶν,
25 Les soltó al que había sido encarcelado por rebelión y asesinato, a quien ellos habían pedido; y entregó a Jesús a la voluntad de ellos.
25 He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.
25 ἀπέλυσε δὲ αὐτοῖς τὸν Βαραββᾶν τὸν διὰ στάσιν καὶ φόνον βεβλημένον εἰς τὴν φυλακήν, ὃν ᾐτοῦντο, τὸν δὲ Ἰησοῦν παρέδωκε τῷ θελήματι αὐτῶν.
26 Mientras se llevaban a Jesús, tomaron a un hombre llamado Simón de Cirene, que venía del campo, y le pusieron la cruz encima para que la llevara detrás de Jesús.
26 When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry it after Jesus.
26 Καὶ ὡς ἀπήγαγον αὐτόν, ἐπιλαβόμενοι Σίμωνός τινος Κυρηναίου, ἐρχομένου ἀπ᾽ ἀγροῦ, ἐπέθηκαν αὐτῷ τὸν σταυρὸν φέρειν ὀπίσω τοῦ Ἰησοῦ.
27 Lo seguía una gran multitud del pueblo, y también mujeres que lloraban y se lamentaban por él.
27 A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.
27 ἠκολούθει δὲ αὐτῷ πολὺ πλῆθος τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ γυναικῶν, αἳ καὶ ἐκόπτοντο καὶ ἐθρήνουν αὐτόν.
28 Pero Jesús se volvió hacia ellas y dijo: Hijas de Jerusalén, no lloren por mí; más bien lloren por ustedes mismas y por sus hijos.
28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
28 στραφεὶς δὲ πρὸς αὐτὰς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπε· θυγατέρες Ἱερουσαλήμ, μὴ κλαίετε ἐπ᾽ ἐμέ, πλὴν ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτὰς κλαίετε καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν.
29 Porque vendrán días en que dirán: Dichosas las estériles, los vientres que no dieron a luz y los pechos que no criaron.
29 For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’
29 ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἔρχονται ἡμέραι ἐν αἷς ἐροῦσι· μακάριαι αἱ στεῖραι καὶ κοιλίαι αἳ οὐκ ἐγέννησαν, καὶ μαστοὶ οἳ οὐκ ἐθήλασαν.
30 Entonces comenzarán a decir a los montes: Caigan sobre nosotros; y a las colinas: Cúbrannos.
30 Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’
30 τότε ἄρξονται λέγειν τοῖς ὄρεσι, πέσετε ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς, καὶ τοῖς βουνοῖς, καλύψατε ἡμᾶς·
31 Porque si esto hacen con el árbol verde, ¿qué no harán con el seco?
31 For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”
31 ὅτι εἰ ἐν τῷ ὑγρῷ ξύλῳ ταῦτα ποιοῦσιν, ἐν τῷ ξηρῷ τί γένηται;
32 También llevaban con él a otros dos, que eran malhechores, para ser ejecutados.
32 There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.
32 Ἤγοντο δὲ καὶ ἕτεροι δύο κακοῦργοι σὺν αὐτῷ ἀναιρεθῆναι.
33 Cuando llegaron al lugar llamado La Calavera, allí crucificaron a Jesús y a los malhechores, uno a su derecha y otro a su izquierda.
33 When they came to the place that is called “The Skull”, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
33 Καὶ ὅτε ἀπῆλθον ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τὸν καλούμενον Κρανίον, ἐκεῖ ἐσταύρωσαν αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς κακούργους, ὃν μὲν ἐκ δεξιῶν ὃν δὲ ἐξ ἀριστερῶν.
34 Jesús decía: Padre, perdónalos, porque no saben lo que hacen. Y repartieron su ropa echando suertes.
34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.
34 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἔλεγε· πάτερ, ἄφες αὐτοῖς· οὐ γὰρ οἴδασι τί ποιοῦσι. διαμεριζόμενοι δὲ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ ἔβαλλον κλῆρον.
35 El pueblo estaba mirando. Los gobernantes también se burlaban de él, diciendo: A otros salvó; que se salve a sí mismo, si este es el Cristo, el escogido de Dios.
35 The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”
35 καὶ εἱστήκει ὁ λαὸς θεωρῶν. ἐξεμυκτήριζον δὲ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες σὺν αὐτοῖς λέγοντες· ἄλλους ἔσωσε, σωσάτω ἑαυτόν, εἰ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐκλεκτός.
36 También los soldados se burlaban de él. Se acercaban y le ofrecían vinagre,
36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
36 ἐνέπαιζον δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ οἱ στρατιῶται προσερχόμενοι καὶ ὄξος προσφέροντες αὐτῷ
37 diciendo: Si tú eres el Rey de los judíos, sálvate a ti mismo.
37 and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
37 καὶ λέγοντες· εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων, σῶσον σεαυτόν.
38 Había también sobre él una inscripción escrita: ESTE ES EL REY DE LOS JUDÍOS.
38 An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
38 Ἦν δὲ καὶ ἐπιγραφὴ γεγραμμένη ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ γράμμασιν Ἑλληνικοῖς καὶ Ῥωμαϊκοῖς καὶ Ἑβραϊκοῖς· οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων.
39 Uno de los malhechores que estaban colgados lo insultaba, diciendo: Si tú eres el Cristo, sálvate a ti mismo y a nosotros.
39 One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”
39 Εἷς δὲ τῶν κρεμασθέντων κακούργων ἐβλασφήμει αὐτὸν λέγων· εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ Χριστός, σῶσον σεαυτὸν καὶ ἡμᾶς.
40 Pero el otro lo reprendió, diciendo: ¿Ni siquiera temes a Dios, estando bajo la misma condena?
40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
40 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἕτερος ἐπετίμα αὐτῷ λέγων· οὐδὲ φοβῇ σὺ τὸν Θεόν, ὅτι ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ κρίματι εἶ;
41 Nosotros, a la verdad, padecemos justamente, porque recibimos lo que merecen nuestros hechos; pero este hombre no ha hecho nada malo.
41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
41 καὶ ἡμεῖς μὲν δικαίως· ἄξια γὰρ ὧν ἐπράξαμεν ἀπολαμβάνομεν· οὗτος δὲ οὐδὲν ἄτοπον ἔπραξε.
42 Luego dijo a Jesús: Señor, acuérdate de mí cuando vengas en tu reino.
42 He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”
42 καὶ ἔλεγε τῷ Ἰησοῦ· μνήσθητί μου, Κύριε, ὅταν ἔλθῃς ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ σου.
43 Jesús le dijo: De cierto te digo que hoy estarás conmigo en el paraíso.
43 Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
43 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἀμὴν λέγω σοι, σήμερον μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἔσῃ ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ.
44 Era como la hora sexta, y hubo oscuridad sobre toda la tierra hasta la hora novena.
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
44 Ἦν δὲ ὡσεὶ ὥρα ἕκτη καὶ σκότος ἐγένετο ἐφ᾽ ὅλην τὴν γῆν ἕως ὥρας ἐνάτης, τοῦ ἡλίου ἐκλείποντος,
45 El sol se oscureció, y la cortina del templo se rasgó por la mitad.
45 The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
45 καὶ ἐσχίσθη τὸ καταπέτασμα τοῦ ναοῦ μέσον·
46 Entonces Jesús clamó a gran voz y dijo: Padre, en tus manos encomiendo mi espíritu. Y habiendo dicho esto, entregó su espíritu.
46 Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.
46 καὶ φωνήσας φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπε· πάτερ, εἰς χεῖράς σου παρατίθεμαι τὸ πνεῦμά μου· καὶ ταῦτα εἰπὼν ἐξέπνευσεν.
47 Cuando el centurión vio lo que había sucedido, glorificó a Dios, diciendo: Verdaderamente este hombre era justo.
47 When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”
47 ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ ἑκατόνταρχος τὸ γενόμενον ἐδόξασε τὸν Θεὸν λέγων· ὄντως ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος δίκαιος ἦν.
48 Toda la multitud que se había reunido para ver este espectáculo, al ver lo sucedido, volvió golpeándose el pecho.
48 All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their chests.
48 καὶ πάντες οἱ συμπαραγενόμενοι ὄχλοι ἐπὶ τὴν θεωρίαν ταύτην, θεωροῦντες τὰ γενόμενα, τύπτοντες ἑαυτῶν τὰ στήθη ὑπέστρεφον.
49 Pero todos sus conocidos, y las mujeres que lo habían seguido desde Galilea, estaban de lejos mirando estas cosas.
49 All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.
49 εἱστήκεισαν δὲ πάντες οἱ γνωστοὶ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν, καὶ γυναῖκες αἱ συνακολουθήσασαι αὐτῷ ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας, ὁρῶσαι ταῦτα.
50 Había un hombre llamado José, miembro del concilio, hombre bueno y justo.
50 Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
50 Καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ὀνόματι Ἰωσήφ, βουλευτὴς ὑπάρχων καὶ ἀνὴρ ἀγαθὸς καὶ δίκαιος —
51 Él no había estado de acuerdo con la decisión ni con las acciones de ellos. Era de Arimatea, ciudad de Judea, y esperaba el reino de Dios.
51 (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.
51 οὗτος οὐκ ἦν συγκατατεθειμένος τῇ βουλῇ καὶ τῇ πράξει αὐτῶν — ἀπὸ Ἀριμαθαίας πόλεως τῶν Ἰουδαίων, ὃς προσεδέχετο καὶ αὐτὸς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ,
52 Este hombre fue a Pilato y pidió el cuerpo de Jesús.
52 This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.
52 οὗτος προσελθὼν τῷ Πιλάτῳ ᾐτήσατο τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Ἰησοῦ,
53 Lo bajó de la cruz, lo envolvió en una sábana de lino y lo puso en un sepulcro cavado en la roca, donde todavía no se había puesto a nadie.
53 He took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.
53 καὶ καθελὼν αὐτὸ ἐνετύλιξε σινδόνι καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὸ ἐν μνήματι λαξευτῷ, οὗ οὐκ ἦν οὐδεὶς οὐδέπω κείμενος·
54 Era el día de la preparación, y estaba por comenzar el día de reposo.
54 It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
54 καὶ ἡμέρα ἦν παρασκευή, σάββατον ἐπέφωσκε.
55 Las mujeres que habían venido con Jesús desde Galilea siguieron a José. Vieron el sepulcro y cómo fue puesto el cuerpo de Jesús.
55 The women who had come with him out of Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
55 Κατακολουθήσασαι δὲ αἱ γυναῖκες, αἵτινες ἦσαν συνεληλυθυῖαι αὐτῷ ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας, ἐθεάσαντο τὸ μνημεῖον καὶ ὡς ἐτέθη τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ,
56 Luego volvieron y prepararon especias aromáticas y perfumes. Y descansaron el día de reposo, conforme al mandamiento.
56 They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
56 ὑποστρέψασαι δὲ ἡτοίμασαν ἀρώματα καὶ μύρα. καὶ τὸ μὲν σάββατον ἡσύχασαν κατὰ τὴν ἐντολήν.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 23:34 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book III, Chapter XVII)

    And from this fact, that He exclaimed upon the cross, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do," the long-suffering, patience, compassion, and goodness of Christ are exhibited, since He both suffered, and did Himself exculpate those who had maltreated Him.

  2. Quotes verse 23:34 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XVIII, Chapters 30–32)

    … be mindful of mercy." What is this but that He puts Himself for the Jews, of whose nation He was, who were troubled with great anger and crucified Christ, when He, mindful of mercy, said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do? "God shall come from Teman, and the Holy One from the shady and close mountain." …

  3. Quotes verse 23:40 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXIII)

    … judge others, when one is chargeable with the same things." And why marvel at His establishing this law, when even the very thief knew it upon the cross, saying to the other thief, "Dost not thou fear God, seeing we are in the same condemnation;" expressing the same sentiments with Christ?

  4. Quotes verse 23:41 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XIII)

    There is yet another witness of the sinlessness of Jesus,--the robber, the first man admitted into Paradise; who rebuked his fellow, and said, "We receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done nothing amiss; for we were present, both thou and I, at His judgment."

  5. Quotes verse 23:34 Augustine of Hippo, Our Lord's Sermon on the Mount (Book I, Chapters XXI–XXII)

    And on this account our Lord also on the cross says, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do:" for, not yet having become partakers of the grace of the Holy Spirit, they had not yet entered the fellowship of the holy brotherhood.
