1 And the whole multitude of them, rising up, led him to Pilate.
1 LEVANTÁNDOSE entonces toda la multitud de ellos, lleváronle á Pilato.
2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this [man] perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.
2 Y comenzaron á acusarle, diciendo: A éste hemos hallado que pervierte la nación, y que veda dar tributo á César, diciendo que él es el Cristo, el rey.
3 And Pilate demanded of him saying, Art thou the king of the Jews? And he answering him said, Thou sayest.
3 Entonces Pilato le preguntó, diciendo: ¿Eres tú el Rey de los Judíos? Y respondiéndole él, dijo: Tú [lo] dices.
4 And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, I find no guilt in this man.
4 Y Pilato dijo á los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y á las gentes: Ninguna culpa hallo en este hombre.
5 But they insisted, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee even on to here.
5 Mas ellos porfiaban, diciendo: Alborota al pueblo, enseñando por toda Judea, comenzando desde Galilea hasta aquí.
6 But Pilate, having heard Galilee [named], demanded if the man were a Galilaean;
6 Entonces Pilato, oyendo de Galilea, preguntó si el hombre era Galileo.
7 and having learned that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, remitted him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in those days.
7 Y como entendió que era de la jurisdicción de Herodes, le remitió á Herodes, el cual también estaba en Jerusalem en aquellos días.
8 And when Herod saw Jesus he greatly rejoiced, for he had been a long while desirous of seeing him, because of hearing many things concerning him, and he hoped to see some sign done by him;
8 Y Herodes, viendo á Jesús, holgóse mucho, porque hacía mucho que deseaba verle; porque había oído de él muchas cosas, y tenía esperanza que le vería hacer alguna señal.
9 and he questioned him in many words, but he answered him nothing.
9 Y le preguntaba con muchas palabras; mas él nada le respondió:
10 And the chief priests and the scribes stood and accused him violently.
10 Y estaban los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los escribas acusándole con gran porfía.
11 And Herod with his troops having set him at nought and mocked him, having put a splendid robe upon him, sent him back to Pilate.
11 Mas Herodes con su corte le menospreció, y escarneció, vistiéndole de una ropa rica; y volvióle á enviar á Pilato.
12 And Pilate and Herod became friends with one another the same day, for they had been at enmity before between themselves.
12 Y fueron hechos amigos entre sí Pilato y Herodes en el mismo día; porque antes eran enemigos entre sí.
13 And Pilate, having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
13 Entonces Pilato, convocando los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los magistrados, y el pueblo,
14 said to them, Ye have brought to me this man as turning away the people [to rebellion], and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found nothing criminal in this man as to the things of which ye accuse him;
14 Les dijo: Me habéis presentado á éste por hombre que desvía al pueblo: y he aquí, preguntando yo delante de vosotros, no he hallado culpa alguna en este hombre de aquéllas de que le acusáis.
15 nor Herod either, for I remitted you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done by him.
15 Y ni aun Herodes; porque os remití á él, y he aquí, ninguna cosa digna de muerte ha hecho.
16 Having chastised him therefore, I will release him.
16 Le soltaré, pues, castigado.
17 (Now he was obliged to release one for them at the feast.)
17 Y tenía necesidad de soltarles uno en cada fiesta.
18 But they cried out in a mass saying, Away with this [man] and release Barabbas to us;
18 Mas toda la multitud dió voces á una, diciendo: Quita á éste, y suéltanos á Barrabás:
19 who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and [for] murder, had been cast into prison.
19 (El cual había sido echado en la cárcel por una sedición hecha en la ciudad, y una muerte.)
20 Pilate therefore, desirous to release Jesus, again addressed [them].
20 Y hablóles otra vez Pilato, queriendo soltar á Jesús.
21 But they cried out in reply saying, Crucify, crucify him.
21 Pero ellos volvieron á dar voces, diciendo: Crucifícale, crucifícale.
22 And he said the third time to them, What evil then has this [man] done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will chastise him therefore and release him.
22 Y él les dijo la tercera vez: ¿Pues qué mal ha hecho éste? Ninguna culpa de muerte he hallado en él: le castigaré, pues, y le soltaré.
23 But they were urgent with loud voices, begging that he might be crucified. And their voices [and those of the chief priests] prevailed.
23 Mas ellos instaban á grandes voces, pidiendo que fuese crucificado. Y las voces de ellos y de los príncipes de los sacerdotes crecían.
24 And Pilate adjudged that what they begged should take place.
24 Entonces Pilato juzgó que se hiciese lo que ellos pedían;
25 And he released him who, for tumult and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they begged for, and Jesus he delivered up to their will.
25 Y les soltó á aquél que había sido echado en la cárcel por sedición y una muerte, al cual habían pedido; y entregó á Jesús á la voluntad de ellos.
26 And as they led him away, they laid hold on a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, and put the cross upon him to bear it behind Jesus.
26 Y llevándole, tomaron á un Simón Cireneo, que venía del campo, y le pusieron encima la cruz para que la llevase tras Jesús.
27 And a great multitude of the people, and of women who wailed and lamented him, followed him.
27 Y le seguía una grande multitud de pueblo, y de mujeres, las cuales le lloraban y lamentaban.
28 And Jesus turning round to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over me, but weep over yourselves and over your children;
28 Mas Jesús, vuelto á ellas, les dice: Hijas de Jerusalem, no me lloréis á mí, mas llorad por vosotras mismas, y por vuestros hijos.
29 for behold, days are coming in which they will say, Blessed [are] the barren, and wombs that have not borne, and breasts that have not given suck.
29 Porque he aquí vendrán días en que dirán: Bienaventuradas las estériles, y los vientres que no engendraron, y los pechos que no criaron.
30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us:
30 Entonces comenzarán á decir á los montes: Caed sobre nosotros: y á los collados: Cubridnos.
31 for if these things are done in the green tree, what shall take place in the dry?
31 Porque si en el árbol verde hacen estas cosas, ¿en el seco, qué se hará?
32 Now two others also, malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.
32 Y llevaban también con él otros dos, malhechores, á ser muertos.
33 And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left.
33 Y como vinieron al lugar que se llama de la Calavera, le crucificaron allí, y á los malhechores, uno á la derecha, y otro á la izquierda.
34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And, parting out his garments, they cast lots.
34 Y Jesús decía: Padre, perdónalos, porque no saben lo que hacen. Y partiendo sus vestidos, echaron suertes.
35 And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also [with them] sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one of God.
35 Y el pueblo estaba mirando; y se burlaban de él los príncipes con ellos, diciendo: A otros hizo salvos: sálvese á sí, si éste es el Mesías, el escogido de Dios.
36 And the soldiers also made game of him, coming up offering him vinegar,
36 Escarnecían de él también los soldados, llegándose y presentándole vinagre,
37 and saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
37 Y diciendo: Si tú eres el Rey de los Judíos, sálvate á ti mismo.
38 And there was also an inscription [written] over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews.
38 Y había también sobre él un título escrito con letras griegas, y latinas, y hebraicas: ESTE ES EL REY DE LOS JUDIOS.
39 Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.
39 Y uno de los malhechores que estaban colgados, le injuriaba, diciendo: Si tú eres el Cristo, sálvate á ti mismo y á nosotros.
40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost thou too not fear God, thou that art under the same judgment?
40 Y respondiendo el otro, reprendióle, diciendo: ¿Ni aun tú temes á Dios, estando en la misma condenación?
41 and we indeed justly, for we receive the just recompense of what we have done; but this [man] has done nothing amiss.
41 Y nosotros, á la verdad, justamente [padecemos]; porque recibimos lo que merecieron nuestros hechos: mas éste ningún mal hizo.
42 And he said to Jesus, Remember me, [Lord,] when thou comest in thy kingdom.
42 Y dijo á Jesús: Acuérdate de mí cuando vinieres á tu reino.
43 And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
43 Entonces Jesús le dijo: De cierto te digo, que hoy estarás conmigo en el paraíso.
44 And it was about [the] sixth hour, and there came darkness over the whole land until [the] ninth hour.
44 Y cuando era como la hora de sexta, fueron hechas tinieblas sobre toda la tierra hasta la hora de nona.
45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple rent in the midst.
45 Y el sol se obscureció: y el velo del templo se rompió por medio.
46 And Jesus, having cried with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having said this, he expired.
46 Entonces Jesús, clamando á gran voz, dijo: Padre, en tus manos encomiendo mi espíritu. Y habiendo dicho esto, espiró.
47 Now the centurion, seeing what took place, glorified God, saying, In very deed this man was just.
47 Y como el centurión vió lo que había acontecido, dió gloria á Dios, diciendo: Verdaderamente este hombre era justo.
48 And all the crowds who had come together to that sight, having seen the things that took place, returned, beating [their] breasts.
48 Y toda la multitud de los que estaban presentes á este espectáculo, viendo lo que había acontecido, se volvían hiriendo sus pechos.
49 And all those who knew him stood afar off, the women also who had followed him from Galilee, beholding these things.
49 Mas todos sus conocidos, y las mujeres que le habían seguido desde Galilea, estaban lejos mirando estas cosas.
50 And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good man and a just
50 Y he aquí un varón llamado José, el cual era senador, varón bueno y justo,
51 (this [man] had not assented to their counsel and deed), of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who also waited, [himself also,] for the kingdom of God
51 (El cual no había consentido en el consejo ni en los hechos de ellos), de Arimatea, ciudad de la Judea, el cual también esperaba el reino de Dios;
52 — he having gone to Pilate begged the body of Jesus;
52 Este llegó á Pilato, y pidió el cuerpo de Jesús.
53 and having taken it down, wrapped it in fine linen and placed him in a tomb hewn in the rock, where no one had ever been laid.
53 Y quitado, lo envolvió en una sábana, y le puso en un sepulcro abierto en una peña, en el cual ninguno había aún sido puesto.
54 And it was preparation day, and [the] sabbath twilight was coming on.
54 Y era día de la víspera [de la Pascua]; y estaba para rayar el sábado.
55 And women, who had come along with him out of Galilee, having followed, saw the sepulchre and how his body was placed.
55 Y las mujeres que con él habían venido de Galilea, siguieron también y vieron el sepulcro, y cómo fué puesto su cuerpo.
56 And having returned they prepared aromatic spices and ointments, and remained quiet on the sabbath, according to the commandment.
56 Y vueltas, aparejaron [drogas] aromáticas y ungüentos; y reposaron el sábado, conforme al mandamiento.

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).
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.
… 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." …

… 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?

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."
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 2, vol. 7 (1894)
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.
