RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 And it happened that, when Jesus had completed all these words, he said to his disciples,
1 Y ACONTECIÓ que, como hubo acabado Jesús todas estas palabras, dijo á sus discípulos:
2 “You know that after two days the Passover will begin, and the Son of man will be handed over to be crucified.”
2 Sabéis que dentro de dos días se hace la pascua, y el Hijo del hombre es entregado para ser crucificado.
3 Then the leaders of the priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
3 Entonces los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los escribas, y los ancianos del pueblo se juntaron al patio del pontífice, el cual se llamaba Caifás;
4 And they took counsel so that by deceitfulness they might take hold of Jesus and kill him.
4 Y tuvieron consejo para prender por engaño á Jesús, y matarle.
5 But they said, “Not on the feast day, lest perhaps there may be a tumult among the people.”
5 Y decían: No en el día de la fiesta, porque no se haga alboroto en el pueblo.
6 And when Jesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper,
6 Y estando Jesús en Bethania, en casa de Simón el leproso,
7 a woman drew near to him, holding an alabaster box of precious ointment, and she poured it over his head while he was reclining at table.
7 Vino á él una mujer, teniendo un vaso de alabastro de ungüento de gran precio, y lo derramó sobre la cabeza de él, estando sentado á la mesa.
8 But the disciples, seeing this, were indignant, saying: “What is the purpose of this waste?
8 Lo cual viendo sus discípulos, se enojaron, diciendo: ¿Por qué se pierde esto?
9 For this could have been sold for a great deal, so as to be given to the poor.”
9 Porque esto se podía vender por gran precio, y darse á los pobres.
10 But Jesus, knowing this, said to them: “Why are you bothering this woman? For she has done a good deed to me.
10 Y entendiéndolo Jesús, les dijo: ¿Por qué dais pena á esta mujer? pues ha hecho conmigo buena obra.
11 For the poor you will always have with you. But you will not always have me.
11 Porque siempre tendréis pobres con vosotros, mas á mí no siempre me tendréis.
12 For in pouring this ointment on my body, she has prepared for my burial.
12 Porque echando este ungüento sobre mi cuerpo, para sepultarme lo ha hecho.
13 Amen I say to you, wherever this Gospel will be preached in the whole world, what she has done also shall be told, in memory of her.”
13 De cierto os digo, [que] donde quiera que este evangelio fuere predicado en todo el mundo, también será dicho para memoria de ella, lo que ésta ha hecho.
14 Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the leaders of the priests,
14 Entonces uno de los doce, que se llamaba Judas Iscariote, fué á los príncipes de los sacerdotes,
15 and he said to them, “What are you willing to give me, if I hand him over to you?” So they appointed thirty pieces of silver for him.
15 Y les dijo: ¿Qué me queréis dar, y yo os lo entregaré? Y ellos le señalaron treinta [piezas] de plata.
16 And from then on, he sought an opportunity to betray him.
16 Y desde entonces buscaba oportunidad para entregarle.
17 Then, on the first day of Unleavened Bread, the disciples approached Jesus, saying, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
17 Y el primer [día de la fiesta] de los [panes] sin levadura, vinieron los discípulos á Jesús, diciéndole: ¿Dónde quieres que aderecemos para ti para comer la pascua?
18 So Jesus said, “Go into the city, to a certain one, and say to him: ‘The Teacher said: My time is near. I am observing the Passover with you, along with my disciples.’ ”
18 Y él dijo: Id á la ciudad á cierto hombre, y decidle: El Maestro dice: Mi tiempo está cerca; en tu casa haré la pascua con mis discípulos.
19 And the disciples did just as Jesus appointed to them. And they prepared the Passover.
19 Y los discípulos hicieron como Jesús les mandó, y aderezaron la pascua.
20 Then, when evening arrived, he sat at table with his twelve disciples.
20 Y como fué la tarde del día, se sentó á la mesa con los doce.
21 And while they were eating, he said: “Amen I say to you, that one of you is about to betray me.”
21 Y comiendo ellos, dijo: De cierto os digo, que uno de vosotros me ha de entregar.
22 And being greatly saddened, each one of them began to say, “Surely, it is not I, Lord?”
22 Y entristecidos ellos en gran manera, comenzó cada uno de ellos á decirle: ¿Soy yo, Señor?
23 But he responded by saying: “He who dips his hand with me into the dish, the same will betray me.
23 Entonces él respondiendo, dijo: El que mete la mano conmigo en el plato, ése me ha de entregar.
24 Indeed, the Son of man goes, just as it has been written about 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 not been born.”
24 A la verdad el Hijo del hombre va, como está escrito de él; mas ¡ay de aquel hombre por quien el Hijo del hombre es entregado! bueno le fuera al tal hombre no haber nacido.
25 Then Judas, who betrayed him, responded by saying, “Surely, it is not I, Master?” He said to him, “You have said it.”
25 Entonces respondiendo Judas, que le entregaba, dijo: ¿Soy yo, Maestro? Dícele: Tú [lo] has dicho.
26 Now while they were eating the meal, Jesus took bread, and he blessed and broke and gave it to his disciples, and he said: “Take and eat. This is my body.”
26 Y comiendo ellos, tomó Jesús el pan, y bendijo, y lo partió, y dió á sus discípulos, y dijo: Tomad, comed: esto es mi cuerpo.
27 And taking the chalice, he gave thanks. And he gave it to them, saying: “Drink from this, all of you.
27 Y tomando el vaso, y hechas gracias, les dió, diciendo: Bebed de él todos;
28 For this is my blood of the new covenant, which shall be shed for many as a remission of sins.
28 Porque esto es mi sangre del nuevo pacto, la cual es derramada por muchos para remisión de los pecados.
29 But I say to you, I will not drink again from this fruit of the vine, until that day when I will drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.”
29 Y os digo, que desde ahora no beberé más de este fruto de la vid, hasta aquel día, cuando lo tengo de beber nuevo con vosotros en el reino de mi Padre.
30 And after a hymn was sung, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
30 Y habiendo cantado el himno, salieron al monte de las Olivas.
31 Then 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 of the flock will be scattered.’
31 Entonces Jesús les dice: Todos vosotros seréis escandalizados en mí esta noche; porque escrito está: Heriré al Pastor, y las ovejas de la manada serán dispersas.
32 But after I have risen again, I will go before you to Galilee.”
32 Mas después que haya resucitado, iré delante de vosotros á Galilea.
33 Then Peter responded by saying to him, “Even if everyone else has fallen away from you, I will never fall away.”
33 Y respondiendo Pedro, le dijo: Aunque todos sean escandalizados en ti, yo nunca seré escandalizado.
34 Jesus said to him, “Amen I say to you, that in this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
34 Jesús le dice: De cierto te digo que esta noche, antes que el gallo cante, me negarás tres veces.
35 Peter said to him, “Even if it is necessary for me to die with you, I will not deny you.” And all the disciples spoke similarly.
35 Dícele Pedro: Aunque me sea menester morir contigo, no te negaré. Y todos los discípulos dijeron lo mismo.
36 Then Jesus went with them to a garden, which is called Gethsemani. And he said to his disciples, “Sit down here, while I go there and pray.”
36 Entonces llegó Jesús con ellos á la aldea que se llama Gethsemaní, y dice á sus discípulos: Sentaos aquí, hasta que vaya allí y ore.
37 And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and saddened.
37 Y tomando á Pedro, y á los dos hijos de Zebedeo, comenzó á entristecerse y á angustiarse en gran manera.
38 Then he said to them: “My soul is sorrowful, even unto death. Stay here and keep vigil with me.”
38 Entonces Jesús les dice: Mi alma está muy triste hasta la muerte; quedaos aquí, y velad conmigo.
39 And continuing on a little further, he fell prostrate on his face, praying and saying: “My Father, if it is possible, let this chalice pass away from me. Yet truly, let it not be as I will, but as you will.”
39 Y yéndose un poco más adelante, se postró sobre su rostro, orando, y diciendo: Padre mío, si es posible, pase de mí este vaso; empero no como yo quiero, sino como tú.
40 And he approached his disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter: “So, were you not able to keep vigil with me for one hour?
40 Y vino á sus discípulos, y los halló durmiendo, y dijo á Pedro: ¿Así no habéis podido velar conmigo una hora?
41 Be vigilant and pray, so that you may not enter into temptation. Indeed, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
41 Velad y orad, para que no entréis en tentación: el espíritu á la verdad está presto, mas la carne enferma.
42 Again, a second time, he went and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this chalice cannot pass away, unless I drink it, let your will be done.”
42 Otra vez fué, segunda vez, y oró diciendo: Padre mío, si no puede este vaso pasar de mí sin que yo lo beba, hágase tu voluntad.
43 And again, he went and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
43 Y vino, y los halló otra vez durmiendo; porque los ojos de ellos estaban agravados.
44 And leaving them behind, again he went and prayed for the third time, saying the same words.
44 Y dejándolos fuése de nuevo, y oró tercera vez, diciendo las mismas palabras.
45 Then he approached his disciples and said to them: “Sleep now and rest. Behold, the hour has drawn near, and the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of sinners.
45 Entonces vino á sus discípulos y díceles: Dormid ya, y descansad: he aquí ha llegado la hora, y el Hijo del hombre es entregado en manos de pecadores.
46 Rise up; let us go. Behold, he who will betray me draws near.”
46 Levantaos, vamos: he aquí ha llegado el que me ha entregado.
47 While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, 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 elders of the people.
47 Y hablando aún él, he aquí Judas, uno de los doce, vino, y con él mucha gente con espadas y con palos, de parte de los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y de los ancianos del pueblo.
48 And he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying: “Whomever I will kiss, it is he. Take hold of him.”
48 Y el que le entregaba les había dado señal, diciendo: Al que yo besare, aquél es: prendedle.
49 And quickly drawing close to Jesus, he said, “Hail, Master.” And he kissed him.
49 Y luego que llegó á Jesús, dijo: Salve, Maestro. Y le besó.
50 And Jesus said to him, “Friend, for what purpose have you come?” Then they approached, and they put their hands on Jesus, and they held him.
50 Y Jesús le dijo: Amigo, ¿á qué vienes? Entonces llegaron, y echaron mano á Jesús, y le prendieron.
51 And behold, one of those who were with Jesus, extending his hand, drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
51 Y he aquí, uno de los que estaban con Jesús, extendiendo la mano, sacó su espada, é hiriendo á un siervo del pontífice, le quitó la oreja.
52 Then Jesus said to him: “Put your sword back in its place. For all who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.
52 Entonces Jesús le dice: Vuelve tu espada á su lugar; porque todos los que tomaren espada, á espada perecerán.
53 Or do you think that I cannot ask my Father, so that he would give me, even now, more than twelve legions of Angels?
53 ¿Acaso piensas que no puedo ahora orar á mi Padre, y él me daría más de doce legiones de ángeles?
54 How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must be so?”
54 ¿Cómo, pues, se cumplirían las Escrituras, que así conviene que sea hecho?
55 In that same hour, Jesus said to the crowds: “You went out, as if to a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me. Yet I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not take hold of me.
55 En aquella hora dijo Jesús á las gentes: ¿Como á ladrón habéis salido con espadas y con palos á prenderme? Cada día me sentaba con vosotros enseñando en el templo, y no me prendisteis.
56 But all this has happened so that the Scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples fled, abandoning him.
56 Mas todo esto se hace, para que se cumplan las Escrituras de los profetas. Entonces todos los discípulos huyeron, dejándole.
57 But those who were holding Jesus led him to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had joined together.
57 Y ellos, prendido Jesús, le llevaron á Caifás pontífice, donde los escribas y los ancianos estaban juntos.
58 Then Peter followed him from a distance, as far as the court of the high priest. And going inside, he sat down with the servants, so that he might see the end.
58 Mas Pedro le seguía de lejos hasta el patio del pontífice; y entrando dentro, estábase sentado con los criados, para ver el fin.
59 Then the leaders of the priests and the entire council sought false testimony against Jesus, so that they might deliver him to death.
59 Y los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los ancianos, y todo el consejo, buscaban falso testimonio contra Jesús, para entregarle á la muerte;
60 And they did not find any, even though many false witnesses had come forward. Then, at the very end, two false witnesses came forward,
60 Y no lo hallaron, aunque muchos testigos falsos se llegaban; mas á la postre vinieron dos testigos falsos,
61 and they said, “This man said: ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and, after three days, to rebuild it.’ ”
61 Que dijeron: Este dijo: Puedo derribar el templo de Dios, y en tres días reedificarlo.
62 And the high priest, rising up, said to him, “Have you nothing to respond to what these ones testify against you?”
62 Y levantándose el pontífice, le dijo: ¿No respondes nada? ¿qué testifican éstos contra ti?
63 But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to him, “I bind you by an oath to the living God to tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.”
63 Mas Jesús callaba. Respondiendo el pontífice, le dijo: Te conjuro por el Dios viviente, que nos digas si eres tú el Cristo, Hijo de Dios.
64 Jesus said to him: “You have said it. Yet truly I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the power of God, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
64 Jesús le dijo: Tú [lo] has dicho: y aun os digo, que desde ahora habéis de ver al Hijo del hombre sentado á la diestra de la potencia [de Dios], y que viene en las nubes del cielo.
65 Then the high priest tore his garments, saying: “He has blasphemed. Why do we still need witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy.
65 Entonces el pontífice rasgó sus vestidos, diciendo: Blasfemado ha: ¿qué más necesidad tenemos de testigos? He aquí, ahora habéis oído su blasfemia.
66 How does it seem to you?” So they responded by saying, “He is guilty unto death.”
66 ¿Qué os parece? Y respondiendo ellos, dijeron: Culpado es de muerte.
67 Then they spit in his face, and they struck him with fists. And others struck his face with the palms of their hands,
67 Entonces le escupieron en el rostro, y le dieron de bofetadas; y otros le herían con mojicones,
68 saying: “Prophesy for us, O Christ. Who is the one that struck you?”
68 Diciendo: Profetízanos tú, Cristo, quién es el que te ha herido.
69 Yet truly, Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a maidservant approached him, saying, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.”
69 Y Pedro estaba sentado fuera en el patio: y se llegó á él una criada, diciendo: Y tú con Jesús el Galileo estabas.
70 But he denied it in the sight of them all, saying, “I do not know what you are saying.”
70 Mas él negó delante de todos, diciendo: No sé lo que dices.
71 Then, as he exited by the gate, another maidservant saw him. And she said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
71 Y saliendo él á la puerta, le vió otra, y dijo á los que estaban allí: También éste estaba con Jesús Nazareno.
72 And again, he denied it with an oath, “For I do not know the man.”
72 Y negó otra vez con juramento: No conozco al hombre.
73 And after a little while, those who were standing nearby came and said to Peter: “Truly, you also are one of them. For even your manner of speaking reveals you.”
73 Y un poco después llegaron los que estaban [por allí], y dijeron á Pedro: Verdaderamente también tú eres de ellos, porque aun tu habla te hace manifiesto.
74 Then he began to curse and to swear that he had not known the man. And immediately the rooster crowed.
74 Entonces comenzó á hacer imprecaciones, y á jurar, [diciendo]: No conozco al hombre. Y el gallo cantó luego.
75 And Peter remembered the words of Jesus, which he had said: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And going outside, he wept bitterly.
75 Y se acordó Pedro de las palabras de Jesús, que le dijo: Antes que cante el gallo, me negarás tres veces. Y saliéndose fuera, lloró amargamente.

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. Commentary 26:6 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXXX)

    This woman seems indeed to be one and the same with all the evangelists, yet she is not so; but though with the three she doth seem to me to be one and the same, yet not so with John, but another person, one much to be admired, the sister of Lazarus.

  2. Quotes verse 26:41 Polycarp of Smyrna, Epistle to the Philippians (The Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians)

    … forsaking the vanity of many, and their false doctrines, let us return to the word which has been handed down to us from the beginning; "watching unto prayer," and persevering in fasting; beseeching in our supplications the all-seeing God "not to lead us into temptation," as the Lord has said: "The spirit truly is willing, but the flesh is weak."

  3. Quotes verse 26:38 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book I, Chapter VIII)

    Her anguish, again, was indicated when He said, "My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death;" her fear by the words, "Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me;" and her perplexity, too, when He said, "And what I shall say, I know not."

  4. Quotes verse 26:10–13 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Chapters 11–13)

    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. And the Gospel speaks with commendation of those who were careful to take down His body from the cross, and wrap …

  5. Quotes verse 26:41 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XIII)

    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.
