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, and saying that he is Christ the 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 asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, said: Thou sayest it.
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 to the multitudes: I find no cause 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 were more earnest, saying: He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.
5 Mas ellos porfiaban, diciendo: Alborota al pueblo, enseñando por toda Judea, comenzando desde Galilea hasta aquí.
6 But Pilate hearing Galilee, asked if the man were of Galilee?
6 Entonces Pilato, oyendo de Galilea, preguntó si el hombre era Galileo.
7 And when he understood that he was of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod, who was also himself 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 Herod, seeing Jesus, was very glad; for he was desirous of a long time to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought 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 by, earnestly accusing him.
10 Y estaban los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los escribas acusándole con gran porfía.
11 And Herod with his army set him at nought, and mocked him, putting on him a white garment, and 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 Herod and Pilate were made friends, that same day; for before they were enemies one to another.
12 Y fueron hechos amigos entre sí Pilato y Herodes en el mismo día; porque antes eran enemigos entre sí.
13 And Pilate, calling together the chief priests, and the magistrates, and the people,
13 Entonces Pilato, convocando los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los magistrados, y el pueblo,
14 Said to them: You have presented unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold I, having examined him before you, find no cause in this man, in those things wherein you 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 No, nor Herod neither. For I sent you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him.
15 Y ni aun Herodes; porque os remití á él, y he aquí, ninguna cosa digna de muerte ha hecho.
16 I will chastise him therefore, and release him.
16 Le soltaré, pues, castigado.
17 Now of necessity he was to release unto them one upon the feast day.
17 Y tenía necesidad de soltarles uno en cada fiesta.
18 But the whole multitude together cried out, saying: Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:
18 Mas toda la multitud dió voces á una, diciendo: Quita á éste, y suéltanos á Barrabás:
19 Who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for a murder, was cast into prison.
19 (El cual había sido echado en la cárcel por una sedición hecha en la ciudad, y una muerte.)
20 And Pilate again spoke to them, desiring to release Jesus.
20 Y hablóles otra vez Pilato, queriendo soltar á Jesús.
21 But they cried again, saying: Crucify him, crucify him.
21 Pero ellos volvieron á dar voces, diciendo: Crucifícale, crucifícale.
22 And he said to them the third time: Why, what evil hath this man done? I find no cause of death in him. I will chastise him therefore, and let him go.
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 instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified; and their voices 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 gave sentence that it should be as they required.
24 Entonces Pilato juzgó que se hiciese lo que ellos pedían;
25 And he released unto them him who for murder and sedition, had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but 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 of one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country; and they laid the cross on him to carry after 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 there followed him a great multitude of people, and of women, who bewailed and lamented him.
27 Y le seguía una grande multitud de pueblo, y de mujeres, las cuales le lloraban y lamentaban.
28 But Jesus turning to them, said: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not over me; but weep for yourselves, and for 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, the days shall come, wherein they will say: Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the paps 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 in the green wood they do these things, what shall be done in the dry?
31 Porque si en el árbol verde hacen estas cosas, ¿en el seco, qué se hará?
32 And there were also two other malefactors led with him to be put to death.
32 Y llevaban también con él otros dos, malhechores, á ser muertos.
33 And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, they crucified him there; and the robbers, one on the right hand, and 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. But they, dividing his garments, 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 with them derided him, saying: He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the elect 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 mocked him, coming to him, and 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 a superscription written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: 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 And one of those robbers who were hanged, blasphemed him, saying: If thou be 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: Neither dost thou fear God, seeing thou art condemned under the same condemnation?
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 due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done no evil.
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: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom.
42 Y dijo á Jesús: Acuérdate de mí cuando vinieres á tu reino.
43 And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt 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 almost the sixth hour; and there was darkness over all the earth 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 was rent in the midst.
45 Y el sol se obscureció: y el velo del templo se rompió por medio.
46 And Jesus crying out with a loud voice, said: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And saying this, he gave up the ghost.
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 was done, glorified God, saying: Indeed this was a just man.
47 Y como el centurión vió lo que había acontecido, dió gloria á Dios, diciendo: Verdaderamente este hombre era justo.
48 And all the multitude of them that were come together to that sight, and saw the things that were done, returned striking 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 his acquaintance, and the women that had followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, 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 there was a man named Joseph, who was a counsellor, a good and just man,
50 Y he aquí un varón llamado José, el cual era senador, varón bueno y justo,
51 (The same had not consented to their counsel and doings;) of Arimathea, a city of Judea; who also himself looked 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 This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
52 Este llegó á Pilato, y pidió el cuerpo de Jesús.
53 And taking him down, he wrapped him in fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that was hewed in stone, wherein never yet any man had 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 the day of the Parasceve, and the sabbath drew on.
54 Y era día de la víspera [de la Pascua]; y estaba para rayar el sábado.
55 And the women that were come with him from Galilee, following after, saw the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
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 returning, they prepared spices and ointments; and on the sabbath day they rested, 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.
