CPDV Catholic Public Domain Version 1 Now the feast of Passover and of Unleavened Bread was two days away. And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, were seeking a means by which they might deceitfully seize him and kill him. 1 Y DOS días después era la Pascua y [los días] de los panes sin levadura: y procuraban los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los escribas cómo le prenderían por engaño, y le matarían.
2 But they said, “Not on the feast day, lest perhaps there may be a tumult among the people.” 2 Y decían: No en el día de la fiesta, porque no se haga alboroto del pueblo.
3 And when he was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, and was reclining to eat, a woman arrived having an alabaster container of ointment, of precious spikenard. And breaking open the alabaster container, she poured it over his head. 3 Y estando él en Bethania en casa de Simón el leproso, y sentado á la mesa, vino una mujer teniendo un alabastro de ungüento de nardo espique de mucho precio; y quebrando el alabastro, derramóselo sobre su cabeza.
4 But there were some who became indignant within themselves and who were saying: “What is the reason for this waste of the ointment? 4 Y hubo algunos que se enojaron dentro de sí, y dijeron: ¿Para qué se ha hecho este desperdicio de ungüento?
5 For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and been given to the poor.” And they murmured against her. 5 Porque podía esto ser vendido por más de trescientos denarios, y darse á los pobres. Y murmuraban contra ella.
6 But Jesus said: “Permit her. What is the reason that you trouble her? She has done a good deed for me. 6 Mas Jesús dijo: Dejadla; ¿por qué la fatigáis? buena obra me ha hecho;
7 For the poor, you have with you always. And whenever you wish, you are able to do good to them. But you do not have me always. 7 Que siempre tendréis los pobres con vosotros, y cuando quisiereis les podréis hacer bien; mas á mí no siempre me tendréis.
8 But she has done what she could. She has arrived in advance to anoint my body for burial. 8 Esta ha hecho lo que podía; porque se ha anticipado á ungir mi cuerpo para la sepultura.
9 Amen I say to you, wherever this Gospel shall be preached throughout the entire world, the things she has done also shall be told, in memory of her.” 9 De cierto os digo que donde quiera que fuere predicado este evangelio en todo el mundo, también esto que ha hecho ésta, será dicho para memoria de ella.
10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away, to the leaders of the priests, in order to betray him to them. 10 Entonces Judas Iscariote, uno de los doce, vino á los príncipes de los sacerdotes, para entregársele.
11 And they, upon hearing it, were gladdened. And they promised him that they would give him money. And he sought an opportune means by which he might betray him. 11 Y ellos oyéndolo se holgaron, y prometieron que le darían dineros. Y buscaba oportunidad cómo le entregaría.
12 And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they immolate the Passover, the disciples said to him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?” 12 Y el primer día de los panes sin levadura, cuando sacrificaban la pascua, sus discípulos le dicen: ¿Dónde quieres que vayamos á disponer para que comas la pascua?
13 And he sent two of his disciples, and he said to them: “Go into the city. And you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water; follow him. 13 Y envía dos de sus discípulos, y les dice: Id á la ciudad, y os encontrará un hombre que lleva un cántaro de agua; seguidle;
14 And wherever he will have entered, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says: Where is my dining room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 14 Y donde entrare, decid al señor de la casa: El Maestro dice: ¿Dónde está el aposento donde he de comer la pascua con mis discípulos?
15 And he will show you a large cenacle, fully furnished. And there, you shall prepare it for us.” 15 Y él os mostrará un gran cenáculo ya preparado: aderezad para nosotros allí.
16 And his disciples departed and went into the city. And they found it just as he had told them. And they prepared the Passover. 16 Y fueron sus discípulos, y vinieron á la ciudad, y hallaron como les había dicho; y aderezaron la pascua.
17 Then, when evening came, he arrived with the twelve. 17 Y llegada la tarde, fué con los doce.
18 And while reclining and eating with them at table, Jesus said, “Amen I say to you, that one of you, who eats with me, will betray me.” 18 Y como se sentaron á la mesa y comiesen, dice Jesús: De cierto os digo que uno de vosotros, que come conmigo, me ha de entregar.
19 But they began to be sorrowful and to say to him, one at a time: “Is it I?” 19 Entonces ellos comenzaron á entristecerse, y á decirle cada uno por sí: ¿[Seré] yo? Y el otro: ¿[Seré] yo?
20 And he said to them: “It is one of the twelve, who dips his hand with me in the dish. 20 Y él respondiendo les dijo: [Es] uno de los doce que moja conmigo en el plato.
21 And indeed, the Son of man goes, just as it has been written of him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of man will be betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had never been born.” 21 A la verdad el Hijo del hombre va, como está de él escrito; mas ¡ay de aquel hombre por quien el Hijo del hombre es entregado! bueno le fuera á aquel hombre si nunca hubiera nacido.
22 And while eating with them, Jesus took bread. And blessing it, he broke it and gave it to them, and he said: “Take. This is my body.” 22 Y estando ellos comiendo, tomó Jesús pan, y bendiciendo, partió y les dió, y dijo: Tomad, esto es mi cuerpo.
23 And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. And they all drank from it. 23 Y tomando el vaso, habiendo hecho gracias, les dió: y bebieron de él todos.
24 And he said to them: “This is my blood of the new covenant, which shall be shed for many. 24 Y les dice: Esto es mi sangre del nuevo pacto, que por muchos es derramada.
25 Amen I say to you, that I will no longer drink from this fruit of the vine, until that day when I will drink it new in the kingdom of God.” 25 De cierto os digo que no beberé más del fruto de la vid, hasta aquel día cuando lo beberé nuevo en el reino de Dios.
26 And having sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. 26 Y como hubieron cantado el himno, se salieron al monte de las Olivas.
27 And Jesus said to them: “You will all fall away from me in this night. For it has been written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ 27 Jesús entonces les dice: Todos seréis escandalizados en mí esta noche; porque escrito está: Heriré al pastor, y serán derramadas las ovejas.
28 But after I have risen again, I will go before you to Galilee.” 28 Mas después que haya resucitado, iré delante de vosotros á Galilea.
29 Then Peter said to him, “Even if all will have fallen away from you, yet I will not.” 29 Entonces Pedro le dijo: Aunque todos sean escandalizados, mas no yo.
30 And Jesus said to him, “Amen I say to you, that this day, in this night, before the rooster has uttered its voice twice, you will deny me three times.” 30 Y le dice Jesús: De cierto te digo que tú, hoy, en esta noche, antes que el gallo haya cantado dos veces, me negarás tres veces.
31 But he spoke further, “Even if I must die along with you, I will not deny you.” And they all spoke similarly also. 31 Mas él con mayor porfía decía: Si me fuere menester morir contigo, no te negaré. También todos decían lo mismo.
32 And they went to a country estate, by the name of Gethsemani. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I pray.” 32 Y vienen al lugar que se llama Gethsemaní, y dice á sus discípulos: Sentaos aquí, entre tanto que yo oro.
33 And he took Peter, and James, and John with him. And he began to be afraid and wearied. 33 Y toma consigo á Pedro y á Jacobo y á Juan, y comenzó á atemorizarse, y á angustiarse.
34 And he said to them: “My soul is sorrowful, even unto death. Remain here and be vigilant.” 34 Y les dice: Está muy triste mi alma, hasta la muerte: esperad aquí y velad.
35 And when he had proceeded on a little ways, he fell prostrate on the ground. And he prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him. 35 Y yéndose un poco adelante, se postró en tierra, y oró que si fuese posible, pasase de él aquella hora.
36 And he said: “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Take this chalice from me. But let it be, not as I will, but as you will.” 36 Y decía: Abba, Padre, todas las cosas son á ti posibles; traspasa de mí este vaso; empero no lo que yo quiero, sino lo que tú.
37 And he went and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter: “Simon, are you sleeping? Were you not able to be vigilant for one hour? 37 Y vino y los halló durmiendo; y dice á Pedro: ¿Simón, duermes? ¿No has podido velar una hora?
38 Watch and pray, so that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 38 Velad y orad, para que no entréis en tentación: el espíritu á la verdad es presto, mas la carne enferma.
39 And going away again, he prayed, saying the same words. 39 Y volviéndose á ir, oró, y dijo las mismas palabras.
40 And upon returning, he found them sleeping yet again, (for their eyes were heavy) and they did not know how to respond to him. 40 Y vuelto, los halló otra vez durmiendo, porque los ojos de ellos estaban cargados; y no sabían qué responderle.
41 And he arrived for the third time, and he said to them: “Sleep now, and take rest. It is enough. The hour has arrived. Behold, the Son of man will be betrayed into the hands of sinners. 41 Y vino la tercera vez, y les dice: Dormid ya y descansad: basta, la hora es venida; he aquí, el Hijo del hombre es entregado en manos de los pecadores.
42 Rise up, let us go. Behold, he who will betray me is near.” 42 Levantaos, vamos: he aquí, el que me entrega está cerca.
43 And while he was still speaking, Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, arrived, and with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, and the elders. 43 Y luego, aun hablando él, vino Judas, que era uno de los doce, y con él una compañía con espadas y palos, de parte de los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y de los escribas y de los ancianos.
44 Now his betrayer had given them a sign, saying: “He whom I shall kiss, it is he. Take hold of him, and lead him away cautiously.” 44 Y el que le entregaba les había dado señal común, diciendo: Al que yo besare, aquél es: prendedle, y llevadle con seguridad.
45 And when he had arrived, immediately drawing near to him, he said: “Hail, Master!” And he kissed him. 45 Y como vino, se acercó luego á él, y le dice: Maestro, Maestro. Y le besó.
46 But they laid hands on him and held him. 46 Entonces ellos echaron en él sus manos, y le prendieron.
47 Then a certain one of those standing near, drawing a sword, struck a servant of the high priest and cut off his ear. 47 Y uno de los que estaban allí, sacando la espada, hirió al siervo del sumo sacerdote, y le cortó la oreja.
48 And in response, Jesus said to them: “Have you set out to apprehend me, just as if to a robber, with swords and clubs? 48 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: ¿Como á ladrón habéis salido con espadas y con palos á tomarme?
49 Daily, I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not take hold of me. But in this way, the scriptures are fulfilled.” 49 Cada día estaba con vosotros enseñando en el templo, y no me tomasteis; pero [es así], para que se cumplan las Escrituras.
50 Then his disciples, leaving him behind, all fled away. 50 Entonces dejándole todos [sus discípulos], huyeron.
51 Now a certain young man followed him, having nothing but a fine linen cloth over himself. And they took hold of him. 51 Empero un mancebillo le seguía cubierto de una sábana sobre [el cuerpo] desnudo; y los mancebos le prendieron:
52 But he, rejecting the fine linen cloth, escaped from them naked. 52 Mas él, dejando la sábana, se huyó de ellos desnudo.
53 And they led Jesus to the high priest. And all the priests and the scribes and the elders came together. 53 Y trajeron á Jesús al sumo sacerdote; y se juntaron á él todos los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los ancianos y los escribas.
54 But Peter followed him from a distance, even into the court of the high priest. And he sat with the servants at the fire and warmed himself. 54 Empero Pedro le siguió de lejos hasta dentro del patio del sumo sacerdote; y estaba sentado con los servidores, y calentándose al fuego.
55 Yet truly, the leaders of the priests and the entire council sought testimony against Jesus, so that they might deliver him to death, and they found none. 55 Y los príncipes de los sacerdotes y todo el concilio buscaban testimonio contra Jesús, para entregarle á la muerte; mas no lo hallaban.
56 For many spoke false testimony against him, but their testimony did not agree. 56 Porque muchos decían falso testimonio contra él; mas sus testimonios no concertaban.
57 And certain ones, rising up, bore false witness against him, saying: 57 Entonces levantándose unos, dieron falso testimonio contra él, diciendo:
58 “For we heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple, made with hands, and within three days I will build another, not made with hands.’ ” 58 Nosotros le hemos oído decir: Yo derribaré este templo que es hecho de mano, y en tres días edificaré otro echo sin mano.
59 And their testimony did not agree. 59 Mas ni aun así se concertaba el testimonio de ellos.
60 And the high priest, rising up in their midst, questioned Jesus, saying, “Do you have nothing to say in answer to the things that are brought against you by these ones?” 60 Entonces el sumo sacerdote, levantándose en medio, preguntó á Jesús, diciendo: ¿No respondes algo? ¿Qué atestiguan éstos contra ti?
61 But he was silent and gave no answer. Again, the high priest questioned him, and he said to him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed God?” 61 Mas él callaba, y nada respondía. El sumo sacerdote le volvió á preguntar, y le dice: ¿Eres tú el Cristo, el Hijo del Bendito?
62 Then Jesus said to him: “I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the power of God and arriving with the clouds of heaven.” 62 Y Jesús le dijo: Yo soy; y veréis al Hijo del hombre sentado á la diestra de la potencia [de Dios], y viniendo en las nubes del cielo.
63 Then the high priest, rending his garments, said: “Why do we still require witnesses? 63 Entonces el sumo sacerdote, rasgando sus vestidos, dijo: ¿Qué más tenemos necesidad de testigos?
64 You have heard the blasphemy. How does it seem to you?” And they all condemned him, as guilty unto death. 64 Oído habéis la blasfemia: ¿qué os parece? Y ellos todos le condenaron ser culpado de muerte.
65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face and to strike him with fists, and to say to him, “Prophesy.” And the servants struck him with the palms their hands. 65 Y algunos comenzaron á escupir en él, y cubrir su rostro, y á darle bofetadas, y decirle: Profetiza. Y los servidores le herían de bofetadas.
66 And while Peter was in the court below, one of the maidservants of the high priest arrived. 66 Y estando Pedro abajo en el atrio, vino una de las criadas del sumo sacerdote;
67 And when she had seen Peter warming himself, she stared at him, and she said: “You also were with Jesus of Nazareth.” 67 Y como vió á Pedro que se calentaba, mirándole, dice: Y tú con Jesús el Nazareno estabas.
68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you saying.” And he went outside, in front of the court; and a rooster crowed. 68 Mas él negó, diciendo: No conozco, ni sé lo que dices. Y se salió fuera á la entrada; y cantó el gallo.
69 Then again, when a maidservant had seen him, she began to say to the bystanders, “For this is one of them.” 69 Y la criada viéndole otra vez, comenzó á decir á los que estaban allí: Este es de ellos.
70 But he denied it again. And after a little while, again those standing near said to Peter: “In truth, you are one of them. For you, too, are a Galilean.” 70 Mas él negó otra vez. Y poco después, los que estaban allí dijeron otra vez á Pedro: Verdaderamente tú eres de ellos; porque eres Galileo, y tu habla es semejante.
71 Then he began to curse and to swear, saying, “For I do not know this man, about whom you are speaking.” 71 Y él comenzó á maldecir y á jurar: No conozco á este hombre de quien habláis.
72 And immediately the rooster crowed again. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” And he began to weep. 72 Y el gallo cantó la segunda vez: y Pedro se acordó de las palabras que Jesús le había dicho: Antes que el gallo cante dos veces, me negarás tres veces. Y pensando en esto, lloraba.
