WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation with the elders, and scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin, having bound Jesus, led [Him] away, and delivered [Him] to Pilate;
1 Y LUEGO por la mañana, habiendo tenido consejo los príncipes de los sacerdotes con los ancianos, y con los escribas, y con todo el concilio, llevaron á Jesús atado, y le entregaron á Pilato.
1 Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders, scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, bound Jesus, carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.
2 and Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He answering said to him, “You say [it].”
2 Y Pilato le preguntó: ¿Eres tú el Rey de los Judíos? Y respondiendo él, le dijo: Tú [lo] dices.
2 Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered, “So you say.”
3 And the chief priests were accusing Him of many things, [but He answered nothing.]
3 Y los príncipes de los sacerdotes le acusaban mucho.
3 The chief priests accused him of many things.
4 And Pilate again questioned Him, saying, “You do not answer anything? Behold, how many things they testify against You!”
4 Y le preguntó otra vez Pilato, diciendo: ¿No respondes algo? Mira de cuántas cosas te acusan.
4 Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!”
5 And Jesus no longer answered anything, so that Pilate wondered.
5 Mas Jesús ni aun con eso respondió; de modo que Pilato se maravillaba.
5 But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.
6 And at every celebration he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking for;
6 Empero en el día de la fiesta les soltaba un preso, cualquiera que pidiesen.
6 Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whomever they asked of him.
7 and there was [one] named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
7 Y había uno, que se llamaba Barrabás, preso con sus compañeros de motín que habían hecho muerte en una revuelta.
7 There was one called Barabbas, bound with his fellow insurgents, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.
8 And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,
8 Y viniendo la multitud, comenzó á pedir [hiciese] como siempre les había hecho.
8 The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.
9 and Pilate answered them, saying, “Will you [that] I will release to you the King of the Jews?”
9 Y Pilato les respondió, diciendo: ¿Queréis que os suelte al Rey de los Judíos?
9 Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him up because of envy;
10 Porque conocía que por envidia le habían entregado los príncipes de los sacerdotes.
10 For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.
11 and the chief priests moved the multitude that he might rather release Barabbas to them.
11 Mas los príncipes de los sacerdotes incitaron á la multitud, que les soltase antes á Barrabás.
11 But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.
12 And Pilate answering, again said to them, “What, then, will you [that] I will do to Him whom you call King of the Jews?”
12 Y respondiendo Pilato, les dice otra vez: ¿Qué pues queréis que haga del que llamáis Rey de los Judíos?
12 Pilate again asked them, “What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?”
13 And they again cried out, “Crucify Him!”
13 Y ellos volvieron á dar voces: Crucifícale.
13 They cried out again, “Crucify him!”
14 And Pilate said to them, “Why—what evil did He do?” And they cried out the more vehemently, “Crucify Him!”
14 Mas Pilato les decía: ¿Pues qué mal ha hecho? Y ellos daban más voces: Crucifícale.
14 Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, “Crucify him!”
15 And Pilate, resolving to do that which [was] satisfactory to the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and delivered up Jesus—having scourged [Him]—that He might be crucified.
15 Y Pilato, queriendo satisfacer al pueblo, les soltó á Barrabás, y entregó á Jesús, después de azotarle, para que fuese crucificado.
15 Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.
16 And the soldiers led Him away into the hall, which is [the] Praetorium, and call together the whole band,
16 Entonces los soldados le llevaron dentro de la sala, es á saber, al Pretorio; y convocan toda la cohorte.
16 The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.
17 and clothe Him with purple, and having plaited a garland of thorns, they put [it] on Him,
17 Y le visten de púrpura; y poniéndole una corona tejida de espinas,

19 Y le herían en la cabeza con una caña, y escupían en él, y le adoraban hincadas las rodillas.
19 They struck his head with a reed and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.
20 and when they [had] mocked Him, they took the purple from off Him, and clothed Him in His own garments, and they led Him forth, that they may crucify Him.
20 Y cuando le hubieron escarnecido, le desnudaron la púrpura, y le vistieron sus propios vestidos, y le sacaron para crucificarle.
20 When they had mocked him, they took the purple cloak off him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.
21 And they impress a certain one passing by—Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus—that he may carry His cross,
21 Y cargaron á uno que pasaba, Simón Cireneo, padre de Alejandro y de Rufo, que venía del campo, para que llevase su cruz.

22 They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, “The place of a skull.”
23 and they were giving Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, and He did not receive [it].
23 Y le dieron á beber vino mezclado con mirra; mas él no lo tomó.
23 They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn’t take it.
24 And having crucified Him, they were dividing His garments, casting a lot on them, what each may take;
24 Y cuando le hubieron crucificado, repartieron sus vestidos, echando suertes sobre ellos, qué llevaría cada uno.
24 Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.
25 and it was the third hour, and they crucified Him;
25 Y era la hora de las tres cuando le crucificaron.

26 and the inscription of His accusation was written above: “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

29 And those passing by were slandering Him, shaking their heads, and saying, “Ha! The [One] throwing down the temple, and building [it] in three days!
29 Y los que pasaban le denostaban, meneando sus cabezas, y diciendo: ¡Ah! tú que derribas el templo de Dios, y en tres días lo edificas,

30 Save Yourself, and come down from the cross!”
30 Sálvate á ti mismo, y desciende de la cruz.
30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!”
31 And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, “He saved others; He is not able to save Himself.
31 Y de esta manera también los príncipes de los sacerdotes escarneciendo, decían unos á otros, con los escribas: A otros salvó, á sí mismo no se puede salvar.
31 Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, “He saved others. He can’t save himself.

35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”
36 and one having run, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, having also put [it] on a reed, was giving Him to drink, saying, “Let alone, let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.”

45 Y enterado del centurión, dió el cuerpo á José:
45 When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
46 And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken Him down, wrapped Him in the linen, and laid Him in a tomb that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone to the door of the tomb,

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).
