- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 Then the whole multitude of them arose, and led him vnto Pilate.
1 LEVANTÁNDOSE entonces toda la multitud de ellos, lleváronle á Pilato.
2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We haue found this man peruerting the nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Cesar, saying, That he 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 asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Iewes? And hee answered him, and sayd, Thou sayest it.
3 Entonces Pilato le preguntó, diciendo: ¿Eres tú el Rey de los Judíos? Y respondiéndole él, dijo: Tú [lo] dices.
4 Then sayd Pilate to the hie Priests, and to the people, I finde no fault 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 the more fierce, saying, He moueth the people, teaching throughout all Iudea, beginning at Galile, euen to this place.
5 Mas ellos porfiaban, diciendo: Alborota al pueblo, enseñando por toda Judea, comenzando desde Galilea hasta aquí.
6 Nowe when Pilate heard of Galile, he asked whether the man were a Galilean.
6 Entonces Pilato, oyendo de Galilea, preguntó si el hombre era Galileo.
7 And when he knewe that he was of Herods iurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, which was also at Hierusalem in those dayes.
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 sawe Iesus, hee was exceedingly glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him, and trusted to haue seene some signe 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 Then questioned hee with him of many things: but he answered him nothing.
9 Y le preguntaba con muchas palabras; mas él nada le respondió:
10 The hie Priests also and Scribes stood forth, and accused him vehemently.
10 Y estaban los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los escribas acusándole con gran porfía.
11 And Herod with his men of warre, despised him, and mocked him, and arayed him in white, and sent him againe 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 the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: 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 Then Pilate called together the hie Priests and the rulers, and the people,
13 Entonces Pilato, convocando los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los magistrados, y el pueblo,
14 And sayd vnto them, Ye haue brought this man vnto me, as one that peruerted the people: and beholde, I haue examined him before you, and haue found no fault in this man, of those things whereof 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 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him: and loe, nothing worthy of death is done of him.
15 Y ni aun Herodes; porque os remití á él, y he aquí, ninguna cosa digna de muerte ha hecho.
16 I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose.
16 Le soltaré, pues, castigado.
17 (For of necessitie hee must haue let one loose vnto them at the feast.)
17 Y tenía necesidad de soltarles uno en cada fiesta.
18 Then all ye multitude cried at once, saying, Away with him, and deliuer vnto vs Barabbas:
18 Mas toda la multitud dió voces á una, diciendo: Quita á éste, y suéltanos á Barrabás:
19 Which for a certaine insurrection made in the citie, and murder, was cast in prison.
19 (El cual había sido echado en la cárcel por una sedición hecha en la ciudad, y una muerte.)
20 Then Pilate spake againe to them, willing to let Iesus loose.
20 Y hablóles otra vez Pilato, queriendo soltar á Jesús.
21 But they cried, saying, Crucifie, crucifie him.
21 Pero ellos volvieron á dar voces, diciendo: Crucifícale, crucifícale.
22 And he sayd vnto them the third time, But what euill hath he done? I finde no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose.
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 loude voyces, and required that he might be crucified: and the voyces of them and of the hie Priests preuailed.
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 So Pilate gaue sentence, that it should be as they required.
24 Entonces Pilato juzgó que se hiciese lo que ellos pedían;
25 And he let loose vnto them him that for insurrection and murder was cast into prison, whome they desired, and deliuered Iesus to doe with him what they would.
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 caught one Simon of Cyrene, comming out of the fielde, and on him they layde the crosse, to beare it after Iesus.
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, which women bewailed and lamented him.
27 Y le seguía una grande multitud de pueblo, y de mujeres, las cuales le lloraban y lamentaban.
28 But Iesus turned backe vnto them, and said, Daughters of Hierusalem, weepe not for me, but weepe for your selues, 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 dayes wil come, when men shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombes that neuer bare, and the pappes which neuer gaue sucke.
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 mountaines, Fall on vs: and to the hilles, Couer vs.
30 Entonces comenzarán á decir á los montes: Caed sobre nosotros: y á los collados: Cubridnos.
31 For if they doe these things to a greene tree, what shalbe done to the drie?
31 Porque si en el árbol verde hacen estas cosas, ¿en el seco, qué se hará?
32 And there were two others, which were euill doers, led with him to be slaine.
32 Y llevaban también con él otros dos, malhechores, á ser muertos.
33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Caluarie, there they crucified him, and the euill doers: one at the right hand, and the other at 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 Then sayd Iesus, Father, forgiue them: for they know not what they doe. And they parted his raiment, and cast lottes.
34 Y Jesús decía: Padre, perdónalos, porque no saben lo que hacen. Y partiendo sus vestidos, echaron suertes.
35 And the people stoode, and behelde: and the rulers mocked him with them, saying, He saued others: let him saue himselfe, if hee be that Christ, the Chosen 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 The souldiers also mocked him, and came and offered him vineger,
36 Escarnecían de él también los soldados, llegándose y presentándole vinagre,
37 And said, If thou be the King of the Iewes, saue thy selfe.
37 Y diciendo: Si tú eres el Rey de los Judíos, sálvate á ti mismo.
38 And a superscription was also written ouer him, in Greeke letters, and in Latin, and in Hebrewe, THIS IS THAT KING OF THE JEWES.
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 the euill doers, which were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou be that Christ, saue thy selfe and vs.
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 answered, and rebuked him, saying, Fearest thou not God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
40 Y respondiendo el otro, reprendióle, diciendo: ¿Ni aun tú temes á Dios, estando en la misma condenación?
41 We are in deede righteously here: for we receiue things worthy of that we haue done: but this man hath done nothing amisse.
41 Y nosotros, á la verdad, justamente [padecemos]; porque recibimos lo que merecieron nuestros hechos: mas éste ningún mal hizo.
42 And he sayd vnto Iesus, Lord, remember me, when thou commest into thy kingdome.
42 Y dijo á Jesús: Acuérdate de mí cuando vinieres á tu reino.
43 Then Iesus said vnto him, Verely I say vnto 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 sixt houre: and there was a darkenes ouer all the land, vntill the ninth houre.
44 Y cuando era como la hora de sexta, fueron hechas tinieblas sobre toda la tierra hasta la hora de nona.
45 And the Sunne was darkened, and the vaile of the Temple rent through the middes.
45 Y el sol se obscureció: y el velo del templo se rompió por medio.
46 And Iesus cryed with a loude voyce, and sayd, Father, into thine hands I commend my spirit. And when hee thus had sayd, hee gaue vp the ghost.
46 Entonces Jesús, clamando á gran voz, dijo: Padre, en tus manos encomiendo mi espíritu. Y habiendo dicho esto, espiró.
47 Nowe when the Centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Of a suretie this man was iust.
47 Y como el centurión vió lo que había acontecido, dió gloria á Dios, diciendo: Verdaderamente este hombre era justo.
48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things, which were done, smote their brestes, and returned.
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 stood a farre off, and the women that followed him from Galile, beholding these things.
49 Mas todos sus conocidos, y las mujeres que le habían seguido desde Galilea, estaban lejos mirando estas cosas.
50 And beholde, there was a man named Ioseph, which was a counseller, a good man and a iust.
50 Y he aquí un varón llamado José, el cual era senador, varón bueno y justo,
51 Hee did not consent to the counsell and deede of them, which was of Arimathea, a citie of the Iewes: who also himselfe waited for the kingdome 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 went vnto Pilate, and asked the body of Iesus,
52 Este llegó á Pilato, y pidió el cuerpo de Jesús.
53 And tooke it downe, and wrapped it in a linnen cloth, and laide it in a tombe hewen out of a rocke, wherein was neuer man yet laide.
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 that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drewe on.
54 Y era día de la víspera [de la Pascua]; y estaba para rayar el sábado.
55 And the women also that followed after, which came with him from Galile, behelde the sepulchre, and how his body was layd.
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 they returned and prepared odours, and ointments, and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandement.
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."

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.
