RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 It was now two days before Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The chief priests and the religious leaders were trying to find a surreptitious way to arrest Jesus and have him killed.
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 not during Passover,” they said to themselves, “otherwise the people may riot.”
2 Y decían: No en el día de la fiesta, porque no se haga alboroto del pueblo.
3 Meanwhile Jesus was in Bethany, eating a meal at Simon the leper's home. A woman came in with an alabaster jar of very expensive pure nard perfume. She broke the jar open and poured the perfume on Jesus' 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 Some of those who were there became annoyed and said, “Why waste this perfume?
4 Y hubo algunos que se enojaron dentro de sí, y dijeron: ¿Para qué se ha hecho este desperdicio de ungüento?
5 It could've been sold for a year's wages and the money given to the poor.” They were angry with her.
5 Porque podía esto ser vendido por más de trescientos denarios, y darse á los pobres. Y murmuraban contra ella.
6 But Jesus replied, “Leave her alone! Why are you criticizing her for doing something beautiful to me?
6 Mas Jesús dijo: Dejadla; ¿por qué la fatigáis? buena obra me ha hecho;
7 You'll always have the poor with you, and you can help them whenever you want. But you won't always have me with you.
7 Que siempre tendréis los pobres con vosotros, y cuando quisiereis les podréis hacer bien; mas á mí no siempre me tendréis.
8 She did what she could: she anointed my body in anticipation of my burial.
8 Esta ha hecho lo que podía; porque se ha anticipado á ungir mi cuerpo para la sepultura.
9 I tell you the truth: wherever the good news is spread in the world, people will remember what she did.”
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 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, went to the chief priests and arranged to betray Jesus to them.
10 Entonces Judas Iscariote, uno de los doce, vino á los príncipes de los sacerdotes, para entregársele.
11 When they heard this, they were delighted, and promised to pay him. So Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
11 Y ellos oyéndolo se holgaron, y prometieron que le darían dineros. Y buscaba oportunidad cómo le entregaría.
12 On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the time when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, Jesus' disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare the Passover meal for you?”
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 He sent two of his disciples, telling them, “Go into the city and there you'll meet a man carrying a water pot. 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 when he goes into a house, ask the owner where I and my disciples can celebrate the Passover.
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 He will take you to a large upstairs room that is furnished and ready. You can make preparations for us there.”
15 Y él os mostrará un gran cenáculo ya preparado: aderezad para nosotros allí.
16 The disciples went into the city, and found things just as he'd described them. They prepared the Passover meal.
16 Y fueron sus discípulos, y vinieron á la ciudad, y hallaron como les había dicho; y aderezaron la pascua.
17 In the evening Jesus went there with the twelve disciples.
17 Y llegada la tarde, fué con los doce.
18 While they were sitting eating, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth: one of you is going to betray me; one who is eating with me now.”
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 They were shocked, and they each asked, “It's not me, is it?”
19 Entonces ellos comenzaron á entristecerse, y á decirle cada uno por sí: ¿[Seré] yo? Y el otro: ¿[Seré] yo?
20 “It's one of the Twelve, one of you sharing this food with me,” he replied.
20 Y él respondiendo les dijo: [Es] uno de los doce que moja conmigo en el plato.
21 “The Son of man will die, just as the Scriptures predicted. But how terrible it will be for the man who betrays the Son of man! It would be better for that man if he'd 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 As they were eating, Jesus picked up some bread. He blessed it, and gave it to them. “Take it. This is my body,” he told them.
22 Y estando ellos comiendo, tomó Jesús pan, y bendiciendo, partió y les dió, y dijo: Tomad, esto es mi cuerpo.
23 Then he picked up the cup. He blessed it, and gave it to them. They all drank from it.
23 Y tomando el vaso, habiendo hecho gracias, les dió: y bebieron de él todos.
24 “This is my blood,” he told them, “the agreement that's being poured out for many.
24 Y les dice: Esto es mi sangre del nuevo pacto, que por muchos es derramada.
25 I tell you the truth, I won't drink of the fruit of the vine until the day I drink it fresh in God's kingdom.”
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 After they had sung a psalm, they left for the Mount of Olives.
26 Y como hubieron cantado el himno, se salieron al monte de las Olivas.
27 “All of you will abandon me,” Jesus told them. “For as the Scriptures say, ‘I will attack the shepherd, and the sheep will be completely 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 from the dead, I will go before you to Galilee.”
28 Mas después que haya resucitado, iré delante de vosotros á Galilea.
29 “I won't abandon you even if everyone else does,” Peter replied.
29 Entonces Pedro le dijo: Aunque todos sean escandalizados, mas no yo.
30 Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth that today, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny that you even know 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 Peter was totally adamant, saying, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you.” All of them said the same.
31 Mas él con mayor porfía decía: Si me fuere menester morir contigo, no te negaré. También todos decían lo mismo.
32 They arrived at a place called Gethsemane, where Jesus told his disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray.”
32 Y vienen al lugar que se llama Gethsemaní, y dice á sus discípulos: Sentaos aquí, entre tanto que yo oro.
33 He took Peter, James, and John with him. He began to be very disturbed and troubled.
33 Y toma consigo á Pedro y á Jacobo y á Juan, y comenzó á atemorizarse, y á angustiarse.
34 Jesus told them, “My agony is so painful it feels like I'm dying. Please, remain here and stay awake.”
34 Y les dice: Está muy triste mi alma, hasta la muerte: esperad aquí y velad.
35 He went a little farther on and then fell to the ground. He prayed, asking to be spared the time that was coming, if it were possible.
35 Y yéndose un poco adelante, se postró en tierra, y oró que si fuese posible, pasase de él aquella hora.
36 “Abba, Father! You can do everything,” he said. “Please, take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet it's not what I want, but what you want.”
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 Then Jesus returned and found the disciples asleep. “Simon, are you sleeping?” he asked Peter. “Couldn't you stay awake for just an hour?
37 Y vino y los halló durmiendo; y dice á Pedro: ¿Simón, duermes? ¿No has podido velar una hora?
38 Stay awake, and pray so you won't fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
38 Velad y orad, para que no entréis en tentación: el espíritu á la verdad es presto, mas la carne enferma.
39 He left them once more, and prayed, saying the same things.
39 Y volviéndose á ir, oró, y dijo las mismas palabras.
40 Then he returned, and again he found them sleeping because they couldn't keep their eyes open. They didn't know what to say!
40 Y vuelto, los halló otra vez durmiendo, porque los ojos de ellos estaban cargados; y no sabían qué responderle.
41 He returned a third time, and asked them, “Are you still asleep? Are you still resting? Well that's enough, because the time has come! Look, the Son of man is about to 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 Get up! Let's go! See, here comes my betrayer.”
42 Levantaos, vamos: he aquí, el que me entrega está cerca.
43 Just as he was saying this, Judas—one of the twelve disciples—arrived with a mob carrying swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests, religious leaders, and 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 the betrayer had arranged a sign with them: “He's the one that I kiss. Arrest him, and take him away under guard.”
44 Y el que le entregaba les había dado señal común, diciendo: Al que yo besare, aquél es: prendedle, y llevadle con seguridad.
45 Judas went right up to Jesus. “Rabbi,” he said, and kissed him affectionately.
45 Y como vino, se acercó luego á él, y le dice: Maestro, Maestro. Y le besó.
46 So they grabbed hold of Jesus and arrested him.
46 Entonces ellos echaron en él sus manos, y le prendieron.
47 But one of those standing there pulled out his sword and struck the high priest's servant, cutting 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 “Am I some kind of rebel that you have come to arrest me with swords and clubs?” Jesus asked them.
48 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: ¿Como á ladrón habéis salido con espadas y con palos á tomarme?
49 “I was there with you, teaching in the Temple every day. Why didn't you arrest me then? But this is happening to fulfill the Scriptures.”
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 all Jesus' disciples deserted him and ran away.
50 Entonces dejándole todos [sus discípulos], huyeron.
51 (One of his followers was a young man who was wearing only a linen garment.
51 Empero un mancebillo le seguía cubierto de una sábana sobre [el cuerpo] desnudo; y los mancebos le prendieron:
52 They seized hold of him, but he ran off naked, leaving the garment behind.)
52 Mas él, dejando la sábana, se huyó de ellos desnudo.
53 They took Jesus to the high priest's house where all the chief priests, elders, and religious teachers had gathered.
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 Peter followed him at a distance, and went into the courtyard of the high priest's house. He sat down with the guards and warmed himself by the fire.
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 Inside the chief priests and the whole governing council were trying to find some evidence to have Jesus put to death, but they couldn't find anything.
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 Many were giving false testimony against him, but their statements didn't agree.
56 Porque muchos decían falso testimonio contra él; mas sus testimonios no concertaban.
57 Some of them got up to speak falsely against Jesus.
57 Entonces levantándose unos, dieron falso testimonio contra él, diciendo:
58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this Temple that human hands built, and in three days I will build another without 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 But even so their testimony didn't agree.
59 Mas ni aun así se concertaba el testimonio de ellos.
60 Then the high priest stood up in front of the council, and asked Jesus, “Have you nothing to say in response to these charges made against you?”
60 Entonces el sumo sacerdote, levantándose en medio, preguntó á Jesús, diciendo: ¿No respondes algo? ¿Qué atestiguan éstos contra ti?
61 But Jesus remained silent and didn't answer. So the high priest asked again, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”
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 “I am,” Jesus replied, “and you will see the Son of man sitting on the right of the Mighty One, and coming 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 The high priest tore his clothes and asked, “Why do we need any more witnesses?
63 Entonces el sumo sacerdote, rasgando sus vestidos, dijo: ¿Qué más tenemos necesidad de testigos?
64 You have heard the blasphemy! What's your reaction?” They all found him guilty and condemned him to death.
64 Oído habéis la blasfemia: ¿qué os parece? Y ellos todos le condenaron ser culpado de muerte.
65 Then some of them began to spit on him. They blindfolded him, hit him with their fists, and said, “Why don't you prophesy then, you ‘Prophet’!” The guards took him away and beat him up.
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 Meanwhile Peter was down below in the courtyard. One of the high priest's servant-girls passed by,
66 Y estando Pedro abajo en el atrio, vino una de las criadas del sumo sacerdote;
67 and seeing Peter warming himself, looked straight at him and said, “You were with Jesus of Nazareth too!”
67 Y como vió á Pedro que se calentaba, mirándole, dice: Y tú con Jesús el Nazareno estabas.
68 But he denied it. “I don't know what you're talking about or what you mean,” he replied. Then he went out to the forecourt, 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 Seeing him there, the servant girl repeated to those standing around, “This man is one of them!”
69 Y la criada viéndole otra vez, comenzó á decir á los que estaban allí: Este es de ellos.
70 Once more Peter denied it. A little while later they said to Peter again, “You're definitely one of them because you're a Galilean too!”
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 Peter began calling down curses on himself and he swore, “I don't know this man you're talking about.”
71 Y él comenzó á maldecir y á jurar: No conozco á este hombre de quien habláis.
72 Immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he realized what he'd done, he burst into tears.
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.

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).
