1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.
1 LEVANTÁNDOSE entonces toda la multitud de ellos, lleváronle á Pilato.
2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this [fellow] perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, 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 asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and 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 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and [to] the people, I find 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 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.
5 Mas ellos porfiaban, diciendo: Alborota al pueblo, enseñando por toda Judea, comenzando desde Galilea hasta aquí.
6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan.
6 Entonces Pilato, oyendo de Galilea, preguntó si el hombre era Galileo.
7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.
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 was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long [season], because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle 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 he questioned with 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 scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
10 Y estaban los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los escribas acusándole con gran porfía.
11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked [him], and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again 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 at enmity 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, when he had 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 unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined [him] before you, have found no fault in this man touching 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, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto 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 release [him].
16 Le soltaré, pues, castigado.
17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
17 Y tenía necesidad de soltarles uno en cada fiesta.
18 And they cried out all at once, 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 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 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.
20 Y hablóles otra vez Pilato, queriendo soltar á Jesús.
21 But they cried, saying, Crucify [him], crucify him.
21 Pero ellos volvieron á dar voces, diciendo: Crucifícale, crucifícale.
22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, 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 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and 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 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 that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus 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 upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear [it] 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 company of people, and of women, which also 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 unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for 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 are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed [are] the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave 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 on 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 they do these things in a green tree, 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, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, 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 ¶ Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and 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 derided [him], saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be 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 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 a superscription also was 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 the malefactors which were hanged railed on 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, Dost not thou fear 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 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath 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 unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
42 Y dijo á Jesús: Acuérdate de mí cuando vinieres á tu reino.
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto 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 was a 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 when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, 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 when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous 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 people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, 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, and the women that 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, a counsellor; [and he was] a good man, and a just:
50 Y he aquí un varón llamado José, el cual era senador, varón bueno y justo,
51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) [he was] of Arimathæa, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited 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 unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
52 Este llegó á Pilato, y pidió el cuerpo de Jesús.
53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was 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 that day was the preparation, 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 also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld 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 they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day 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.
