1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged [him].
1 ASÍ que, entonces tomó Pilato á Jesús, y le azotó.
2 And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns put it on his head, and put a purple robe on him,
2 Y los soldados entretejieron de espinas una corona, y pusiéron[la] sobre su cabeza, y le vistieron de una ropa de grana;
3 and came to him and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and gave him blows on the face.
3 Y decían: ¡Salve, Rey de los Judíos! y dábanle de bofetadas.
4 And Pilate went out again and says to them, Lo, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find in him no fault whatever.
4 Entonces Pilato salió otra vez fuera, y díjoles: He aquí, os le traigo fuera, para que entendáis que ningún crimen hallo en él.
5 (Jesus therefore went forth without, wearing the crown of thorn, and the purple robe.) And he says to them, Behold the man!
5 Y salió Jesús fuera, llevando la corona de espinas y la ropa de grana. Y díceles [Pilato]: He aquí el hombre.
6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him they cried out saying, Crucify, crucify [him]. Pilate says to them, Take him ye and crucify [him], for I find no fault in him.
6 Y como le vieron los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los servidores, dieron voces diciendo: Crucifícale, crucifícale. Díceles Pilato: Tomadle vosotros, y crucificadle; porque yo no hallo en él crimen.
7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to [our] law he ought to die, because he made himself Son of God.
7 Respondiéronle los Judíos: Nosotros tenemos ley, y según nuestra ley debe morir, porque se hizo Hijo de Dios.
8 When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was the rather afraid,
8 Y como Pilato oyó esta palabra, tuvo más miedo.
9 and went into the praetorium again and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
9 Y entró otra vez en el pretorio, y dijo á Jesús: ¿De dónde eres tú? Mas Jesús no le dió respuesta.
10 Pilate therefore says to him, Speakest thou not to me? Dost thou not know that I have authority to release thee and have authority to crucify thee?
10 Entonces dícele Pilato: ¿A mí no me hablas? ¿no sabes que tengo potestad para crucificarte, y que tengo potestad para soltarte?
11 Jesus answered, Thou hadst no authority whatever against me if it were not given to thee from above. On this account he that has delivered me up to thee has [the] greater sin.
11 Respondió Jesús: Ninguna potestad tendrías contra mí, si no te fuese dado de arriba: por tanto, el que á ti me ha entregado, mayor pecado tiene.
12 From this time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out saying, If thou releasest this [man], thou art not a friend to Caesar. Every one making himself a king speaks against Caesar.
12 Desde entonces procuraba Pilato soltarle; mas los Judíos daban voces, diciendo: Si á éste sueltas, no eres amigo de César: cualquiera que se hace rey, á César contradice.
13 Pilate therefore, having heard these words, led Jesus out and sat down upon [the] judgment-seat, at a place called Pavement, but in Hebrew Gabbatha;
13 Entonces Pilato, oyendo este dicho, llevó fuera á Jesús, y se sentó en el tribunal en el lugar que se dice Lithóstrotos, y en hebreo Gabbatha.
14 (now it was [the] preparation of the passover; it was about the sixth hour;) and he says to the Jews, Behold your king!
14 Y era la víspera de la Pascua, y como la hora de sexta. Entonces dijo á los Judíos: He aquí vuestro Rey.
15 But they cried out, Take [him] away, take [him] away, crucify him. Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
15 Mas ellos dieron voces: Quita, quita, crucifícale. Díceles Pilato: ¿A vuestro Rey he de crucificar? Respondieron los pontífices: No tenemos rey sino á César.
16 Then therefore he delivered him up to them, that he might be crucified; and they took Jesus and led him away.
16 Así que entonces lo entregó á ellos para que fuese crucificado. Y tomaron á Jesús, y le llevaron.
17 And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called [place] of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha;
17 Y llevando su cruz, salió al lugar que se dice de la Calavera, y en hebreo, Gólgotha;
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, [one] on this side, and [one] on that, and Jesus in the middle.
18 Donde le crucificaron, y con él otros dos, uno á cada lado, y Jesús en medio.
19 And Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the cross. But there was written: Jesus the Nazaraean, the King of the Jews.
19 Y escribió también Pilato un título, que puso encima de la cruz. Y el escrito era: JESUS NAZARENO, REY DE LOS JUDIOS.
20 This title therefore many of the Jews read, for the place of the city where Jesus was crucified was near; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, Latin.
20 Y muchos de los Judíos leyeron este título: porque el lugar donde estaba crucificado Jesús era cerca de la ciudad: y estaba escrito en hebreo, en griego, y en latín.
21 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but that he said, I am king of the Jews.
21 Y decían á Pilato los pontífices de los Judíos: No escribas, Rey de los Judíos: sino, que él dijo: Rey soy de los Judíos.
22 Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.
22 Respondió Pilato: Lo que he escrito, he escrito.
23 The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothes, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and the body-coat; but the body-coat was seamless, woven through the whole from the top.
23 Y como los soldados hubieron crucificado á Jesús, tomaron sus vestidos, é hicieron cuatro partes (para cada soldado una parte); y la túnica; mas la túnica era sin costura, toda tejida desde arriba.
24 They said therefore to one another, Let us not rend it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled which says, They parted my garments among themselves, and on my vesture they cast lots. The soldiers therefore did these things.
24 Y dijeron entre ellos: No la partamos, sino echemos suertes sobre ella, de quién será; para que se cumpliese la Escritura, que dice: Partieron para sí mis vestidos, y sobre mi vestidura echaron suertes. Y los soldados hicieron esto.
25 And by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.
25 Y estaban junto á la cruz de Jesús su madre, y la hermana de su madre, María [mujer] de Cleofas, y María Magdalena.
26 Jesus therefore, seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son.
26 Y como vió Jesús á la madre, y al discípulo que él amaba, que estaba presente, dice á su madre: Mujer, he ahí tu hijo.
27 Then he says unto the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
27 Después dice al discípulo: He ahí tu madre. Y desde aquella hora el discípulo la recibió consigo.
28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.
28 Después de esto, sabiendo Jesús que todas las cosas eran ya cumplidas, para que la Escritura se cumpliese, dijo: Sed tengo.
29 There was a vessel therefore there full of vinegar, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, and putting hyssop round it, they put it up to his mouth.
29 Y estaba [allí] un vaso lleno de vinagre: entonces ellos hinchieron una esponja de vinagre, y rodeada á un hisopo, se la llegaron á la boca.
30 When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his spirit.
30 Y como Jesús tomó el vinagre, dijo: Consumado es. Y habiendo inclinado la cabeza, dió el espíritu.
31 The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for it was [the] preparation, (for the day of that sabbath was a great [day],) demanded of Pilate that their legs might be broken and they taken away.
31 Entonces los Judíos, por cuanto era la víspera [de la Pascua], para que los cuerpos no quedasen en la cruz en el sábado, pues era el gran día del sábado, rogaron á Pilato que se les quebrasen las piernas, y fuesen quitados.
32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him;
32 Y vinieron los soldados, y quebraron las piernas al primero, y asimismo al otro que había sido crucificado con él.
33 but coming to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead they did not break his legs,
33 Mas cuando vinieron á Jesús, como le vieron ya muerto, no le quebraron las piernas:
34 but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.
34 Empero uno de los soldados le abrió el costado con una lanza, y luego salió sangre y agua.
35 And he who saw it bears witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that he says true that ye also may believe.
35 Y el que [lo] vió, da testimonio, y su testimonio es verdadero: y él sabe que dice verdad, para que vosotros también creáis.
36 For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken.
36 Porque estas cosas fueron hechas para que se cumpliese la Escritura: Hueso no quebrantaréis de él.
37 And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
37 Y también otra Escritura dice: Mirarán al que traspasaron.
38 And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, demanded of Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus: and Pilate allowed it. He came therefore and took away the body of Jesus.
38 Después de estas cosas, José de Arimatea, el cual era discípulo de Jesús, mas secreto por miedo de los Judíos, rogó á Pilato que pudiera quitar el cuerpo de Jesús: y permitióselo Pilato. Entonces vino, y quitó el cuerpo de Jesús.
39 And Nicodemus also, who at first came to Jesus by night, came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds [weight].
39 Y vino también Nicodemo, el que antes había venido á Jesús de noche, trayendo un compuesto de mirra y de áloes, como cien libras.
40 They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it up in linen with the spices, as it is the custom with the Jews to prepare for burial.
40 Tomaron pues el cuerpo de Jesús, y envolviéronlo en lienzos con especias, como es costumbre de los Judíos sepultar.
41 But there was in the place where he had been crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.
41 Y en aquel lugar donde había sido crucificado, había un huerto; y en el huerto un sepulcro nuevo, en el cual aun no había sido puesto ninguno.
42 There therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.
42 Allí, pues, por causa de la víspera [de la Pascua] de los Judíos, porque aquel sepulcro estaba cerca, pusieron á Jesús.

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).
On the Jews crying out that they did not wish Jesus to be released unto them at the passover, but Barabbas the robber; not the Saviour, but the murderer; not the Giver of life, but the destroyer,--"then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him." We must believe that Pilate acted thus for no other reason than that the Jews, glutted with …

Successes have terrible power to cast down or draw aside those who take not heed. Thus the Jews, who at first enjoyed the influence of God, sought the law of royalty from the Gentiles, and in the wilderness after the manna remembered the onions.

… no means at rest, He saith to him: "To thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him."

… very nature of His death, that is, the height of the cross, is understood by the single words "Thou are gone up."

Or at least His burial is to be understood, in which He lay down sleeping, …
