1 Cuando Jesús terminó de decir todas estas palabras, dijo a sus discípulos:
1 When Jesus had finished all these words, he said to his disciples,
2 Ustedes saben que dentro de dos días es la Pascua, y el Hijo del Hombre será entregado para ser crucificado.
2 “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
3 Entonces los principales sacerdotes, los escribas y los ancianos del pueblo se reunieron en el patio del sumo sacerdote, llamado Caifás.
3 Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
4 Allí hicieron planes para arrestar a Jesús con engaño y matarlo.
4 They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit and kill him.
5 Pero decían: No durante la fiesta, para que no haya alboroto entre el pueblo.
5 But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people.”
6 Jesús estaba en Betania, en casa de Simón el leproso.
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 Entonces se acercó a él una mujer con un frasco de alabastro lleno de perfume muy costoso, y lo derramó sobre la cabeza de Jesús mientras él estaba sentado a la mesa.
7 a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.
8 Al ver esto, los discípulos se enojaron y dijeron: ¿Para qué este desperdicio?
8 But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?
9 Este perfume pudo haberse vendido por mucho dinero y dado a los pobres.
9 For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
10 Pero Jesús, al saberlo, les dijo: ¿Por qué molestan a esta mujer? Ella ha hecho una buena obra conmigo.
10 However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a good work for me.
11 Porque a los pobres siempre los tendrán con ustedes, pero a mí no siempre me tendrán.
11 For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.
12 Al derramar este perfume sobre mi cuerpo, ella lo hizo para prepararme para la sepultura.
12 For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
13 De cierto les digo que, dondequiera que se predique estas buenas noticias en todo el mundo, también se contará lo que ella hizo, en memoria de ella.
13 Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her.”
14 Entonces uno de los doce, llamado Judas Iscariote, fue a los principales sacerdotes
14 Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
15 y les dijo: ¿Qué me darán si se lo entrego? Ellos le pesaron treinta monedas de plata.
15 and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?” So they weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.
16 Desde entonces Judas buscaba una oportunidad para entregar a Jesús.
16 From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
17 El primer día de los panes sin levadura, los discípulos se acercaron a Jesús y le dijeron: ¿Dónde quieres que preparemos para que comas la Pascua?
17 Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
18 Él les dijo: Vayan a la ciudad, a cierto hombre, y díganle: El Maestro dice: Mi tiempo está cerca; celebraré la Pascua en tu casa con mis discípulos.
18 He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.”’”
19 Los discípulos hicieron como Jesús les mandó, y prepararon la Pascua.
19 The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.
20 Al anochecer, Jesús estaba sentado a la mesa con los doce.
20 Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.
21 Mientras comían, dijo: De cierto les digo que uno de ustedes me va a traicionar.
21 As they were eating, he said, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
22 Ellos se entristecieron mucho, y cada uno comenzó a decirle: ¿Soy yo, Señor?
22 They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’t me, is it, Lord?”
23 Él respondió: El que mete la mano conmigo en el plato, ese me va a traicionar.
23 He answered, “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me.
24 El Hijo del Hombre va, tal como está escrito de él; pero ¡ay de aquel hombre por medio de quien el Hijo del Hombre es traicionado! Mejor le habría sido a ese hombre no haber nacido.
24 The Son of Man goes even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”
25 Entonces Judas, el que lo traicionaba, respondió: ¿Soy yo, Maestro? Jesús le dijo: Tú lo has dicho.
25 Judas, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You said it.”
26 Mientras comían, Jesús tomó pan, lo bendijo, lo partió y lo dio a sus discípulos, diciendo: Tomen, coman; esto es mi cuerpo.
26 As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”
27 Luego tomó una copa, dio gracias y se la dio, diciendo: Beban de ella todos,
27 He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it,
28 porque esto es mi sangre del nuevo pacto, que es derramada por muchos para perdón de pecados.
28 for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.
29 Les digo que desde ahora no beberé más de este fruto de la vid, hasta aquel día cuando lo beba nuevo con ustedes en el reino de mi Padre.
29 But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”
30 Después de cantar un himno, salieron al monte de los Olivos.
30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 Entonces Jesús les dijo: Esta noche todos ustedes tropezarán por causa de mí, porque está escrito: Heriré al pastor, y las ovejas del rebaño serán dispersadas.
31 Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 Pero después de resucitar, iré delante de ustedes a Galilea.
32 But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”
33 Pedro le respondió: Aunque todos tropiecen por causa de ti, yo nunca tropezaré.
33 But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”
34 Jesús le dijo: De cierto te digo que esta noche, antes de que cante el gallo, me negarás tres veces.
34 Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
35 Pedro le dijo: Aunque tenga que morir contigo, no te negaré. Y todos los discípulos dijeron lo mismo.
35 Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise.
36 Entonces Jesús fue con ellos a un lugar llamado Getsemaní, y dijo a sus discípulos: Siéntense aquí, mientras voy allá a orar.
36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.”
37 Tomó consigo a Pedro y a los dos hijos de Zebedeo, y comenzó a entristecerse y angustiarse mucho.
37 He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.
38 Entonces les dijo: Mi alma está muy triste, hasta la muerte. Quédense aquí y velen conmigo.
38 Then Jesus said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with me.”
39 Jesús se adelantó un poco, se postró sobre su rostro y oró: Padre mío, si es posible, que pase de mí esta copa; pero no se haga como yo quiero, sino como tú quieres.
39 He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
40 Luego volvió a sus discípulos y los encontró durmiendo. Entonces dijo a Pedro: ¿Así que no pudieron velar conmigo ni una hora?
40 He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour?
41 Velen y oren, para que no entren en tentación. El espíritu está dispuesto, pero la carne es débil.
41 Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 Se fue por segunda vez y oró: Padre mío, si esta copa no puede pasar de mí sin que yo la beba, hágase tu voluntad.
42 Again, a second time he went away and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.”
43 Volvió otra vez y los encontró durmiendo, porque tenían los ojos cargados de sueño.
43 He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
44 Entonces los dejó, se fue de nuevo y oró por tercera vez, diciendo las mismas palabras.
44 He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.
45 Luego volvió a sus discípulos y les dijo: ¿Todavía duermen y descansan? Miren, la hora se acerca, y el Hijo del Hombre es entregado en manos de pecadores.
45 Then he came to his disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Levántense, vamos. Miren, se acerca el que me traiciona.
46 Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
47 Mientras Jesús todavía hablaba, llegó Judas, uno de los doce. Con él venía mucha gente armada con espadas y palos, enviada por los principales sacerdotes y los ancianos del pueblo.
47 While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 El que lo traicionaba les había dado una señal, diciendo: Al que yo bese, ese es; arréstenlo.
48 Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.”
49 Enseguida se acercó a Jesús y dijo: ¡Saludos, Maestro! Y lo besó.
49 Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
50 Jesús le dijo: Amigo, haz aquello por lo que viniste. Entonces se acercaron, echaron mano a Jesús y lo arrestaron.
50 Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
51 Uno de los que estaban con Jesús extendió la mano, sacó su espada, hirió al siervo del sumo sacerdote y le cortó una oreja.
51 Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
52 Entonces Jesús le dijo: Vuelve tu espada a su lugar, porque todos los que toman la espada morirán por la espada.
52 Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.
53 ¿Acaso piensas que no puedo rogar ahora a mi Padre, y él me enviaría más de doce legiones de ángeles?
53 Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 Pero entonces, ¿cómo se cumplirían las Escrituras, que dicen que así debe suceder?
54 How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”
55 En aquella hora, Jesús dijo a la multitud: ¿Han salido con espadas y palos para arrestarme como si yo fuera un ladrón? Cada día me sentaba con ustedes enseñando en el templo, y no me arrestaron.
55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.
56 Pero todo esto sucedió para que se cumplieran las Escrituras de los profetas. Entonces todos los discípulos lo dejaron y huyeron.
56 But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.
57 Los que arrestaron a Jesús lo llevaron ante Caifás, el sumo sacerdote, donde estaban reunidos los escribas y los ancianos.
57 Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
58 Pero Pedro lo siguió de lejos hasta el patio del sumo sacerdote. Entró y se sentó con los guardias para ver el final.
58 But Peter followed him from a distance to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.
59 Los principales sacerdotes, los ancianos y todo el concilio buscaban falso testimonio contra Jesús, para darle muerte.
59 Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death,
60 Pero no lo encontraron, aunque se presentaron muchos testigos falsos. Por fin se acercaron dos testigos falsos
60 and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward
61 y dijeron: Este dijo: Puedo destruir el templo de Dios y reconstruirlo en tres días.
61 and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”
62 Entonces el sumo sacerdote se levantó y le dijo: ¿No respondes nada? ¿Qué testifican estos contra ti?
62 The high priest stood up and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”
63 Pero Jesús guardó silencio. Entonces el sumo sacerdote le dijo: Te ordeno, por el Dios viviente, que nos digas si tú eres el Cristo, el Hijo de Dios.
63 But Jesus stayed silent. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”
64 Jesús le dijo: Tú lo has dicho. Además les digo que desde ahora verán al Hijo del Hombre sentado a la derecha del Poder, y viniendo sobre las nubes del cielo.
64 Jesus said to him, “You have said so. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”
65 Entonces el sumo sacerdote rasgó sus vestiduras y dijo: ¡Ha blasfemado! ¿Qué necesidad tenemos ya de testigos? Ahora ustedes han oído su blasfemia.
65 Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.
66 ¿Qué les parece? Ellos respondieron: Es digno de muerte.
66 What do you think?” They answered, “He is worthy of death!”
67 Entonces le escupieron en el rostro y le dieron puñetazos; otros lo abofeteaban,
67 Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,
68 diciendo: Profetízanos, Cristo. ¿Quién te golpeó?
68 saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?”
69 Pedro estaba sentado afuera, en el patio. Una criada se le acercó y le dijo: Tú también estabas con Jesús el galileo.
69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!”
70 Pero él lo negó delante de todos, diciendo: No sé de qué hablas.
70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
71 Cuando salió a la entrada, otra criada lo vio y dijo a los que estaban allí: Este también estaba con Jesús de Nazaret.
71 When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72 Pero él negó otra vez con juramento: No conozco a ese hombre.
72 Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”
73 Poco después, los que estaban allí se acercaron y dijeron a Pedro: De verdad tú también eres de ellos, porque tu manera de hablar te descubre.
73 After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”
74 Entonces él comenzó a maldecir y a jurar: No conozco a ese hombre. Y enseguida cantó el gallo.
74 Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.
75 Entonces Pedro se acordó de las palabras de Jesús, que le había dicho: Antes de que cante el gallo, me negarás tres veces. Y salió afuera y lloró amargamente.
75 Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Then he went out and wept bitterly.

Our Lord Himself, too, though He was to rise again the third day, applauds, and commends to our applause, the good work of the religious woman who poured precious ointment over His limbs, and did it against His burial.

How then saith He, "Pray that ye enter not into temptation." For this cause he doth not show thee Jesus simply going up, but "led up" according to the principle of the Economy; signifying obscurely by this, that we ought not of ourselves to leap upon it, but being dragged thereto, to stand manfully.
