WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 And having risen, the whole multitude of them led Him to Pilate,
1 LEVANTÁNDOSE entonces toda la multitud de ellos, lleváronle á Pilato.
1 The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.
2 and began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this One perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying Himself to be 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.
2 They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”
3 And Pilate questioned Him, saying, “You are the King of the Jews?” And He answering him, said, “You say [it].”
3 Entonces Pilato le preguntó, diciendo: ¿Eres tú el Rey de los Judíos? Y respondiéndole él, dijo: Tú [lo] dices.
3 Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”
4 And Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitude, “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.
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
5 and they were the more urgent, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea—having begun from Galilee—to this place.”
5 Mas ellos porfiaban, diciendo: Alborota al pueblo, enseñando por toda Judea, comenzando desde Galilea hasta aquí.
5 But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”
6 And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the Man is a Galilean,
6 Entonces Pilato, oyendo de Galilea, preguntó si el hombre era Galileo.
6 But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
7 and having known that He is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent Him back to Herod, he also being in 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.
7 When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.
8 And Herod rejoiced exceedingly having seen Jesus, for he was wishing to see Him for a long [time], because of hearing many things about Him, and he was hoping 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.
8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.
9 and was questioning Him in many words, and He answered him nothing.
9 Y le preguntaba con muchas palabras; mas él nada le respondió:
9 He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
10 And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing Him,
10 Y estaban los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los escribas acusándole con gran porfía.

11 and Herod with his soldiers having set Him at nothing, and having mocked, having cast radiant apparel around 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.
11 Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
12 and both Pilate and Herod became friends with one another on that day, for they were previously at enmity between themselves.
12 Y fueron hechos amigos entre sí Pilato y Herodes en el mismo día; porque antes eran enemigos entre sí.
12 Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
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,
13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
14 said to them, “You brought this Man to me as perverting the people, and behold, I having examined [Him] before you, found no fault in this Man in those things you bring forward against 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.
14 and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.
15 no, neither Herod, for he sent Him back to us, and behold, nothing worthy of death is having been done by Him;
15 Y ni aun Herodes; porque os remití á él, y he aquí, ninguna cosa digna de muerte ha hecho.
15 Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
16 having corrected, therefore, I will release Him,”
16 Le soltaré, pues, castigado.
16 I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
17 [[for it was necessary for him to release to them one at every celebration,]]
17 Y tenía necesidad de soltarles uno en cada fiesta.
17 Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.
18 and they cried out—the whole multitude—saying, “Away with this One, and release Barabbas to us,”
18 Mas toda la multitud dió voces á una, diciendo: Quita á éste, y suéltanos á Barrabás:

19 (El cual había sido echado en la cárcel por una sedición hecha en la ciudad, y una muerte.)

20 Pilate again then—wishing to release Jesus—called to them,
20 Y hablóles otra vez Pilato, queriendo soltar á Jesús.
20 Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,
21 but they were calling out, saying, “Crucify! Crucify Him!”
21 Pero ellos volvieron á dar voces, diciendo: Crucifícale, crucifícale.
21 but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
22 And he said to them a third time, “Why, what evil did He do? I found no cause of death in Him; having corrected Him, then, I will 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.
22 He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
23 And they were pressing with loud voices asking Him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing,
23 Mas ellos instaban á grandes voces, pidiendo que fuese crucificado. Y las voces de ellos y de los príncipes de los sacerdotes crecían.
23 But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.
24 and Pilate gave judgment for their request being done,
24 Entonces Pilato juzgó que se hiciese lo que ellos pedían;
24 Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
25 and he released him who because of sedition and murder has been cast into the prison, whom they were asking for, and he gave up 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.
25 He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.
26 And as they led Him away, having taken hold on Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they put the cross on him to carry [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.
26 When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry it after Jesus.
27 And a great multitude of the people were following Him, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting Him,
27 Y le seguía una grande multitud de pueblo, y de mujeres, las cuales le lloraban y lamentaban.
27 A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.
28 and Jesus having turned to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep 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.
28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 for behold, days come in which they will say, Blessed the barren, and wombs that did not bear, and breasts that did not give 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.
29 For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’
30 then they will 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.
30 Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’
31 for if they do these things in the green tree, what may happen in the dry?”
31 Porque si en el árbol verde hacen estas cosas, ¿en el seco, qué se hará?
31 For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”
32 And there were also others—two evildoers—with Him, to be put to death;
32 Y llevaban también con él otros dos, malhechores, á ser muertos.
32 There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.
33 and when they came to the place that is called “[Place] of [the] Skull,” there they crucified Him and the evildoers, one on the right hand and one 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 Y Jesús decía: Padre, perdónalos, porque no saben lo que hacen. Y partiendo sus vestidos, echaron suertes.
34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.

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.
