WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Cuando Jesús terminó estas palabras, dijo a sus discípulos:
1 When Jesus had finished all these words, he said to his disciples,
2 Ustedes saben que dentro de dos días se celebra la Pascua, y el Hijo del Hombre será entregado para ser crucificado.
2 “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
3 Entonces los principales sacerdotes y los ancianos del pueblo se reunieron en el patio del sumo sacerdote Caifás
3 Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
4 y conspiraron para apresar a Jesús con engaño y matarlo.
4 They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit and kill him.
5 Pero decían: No durante la fiesta, para que no haya alboroto en el pueblo.
5 But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people.”
6 Jesús estaba en casa de Simón el leproso en Betania.
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 Se acercó una mujer que tenía un frasco de alabastro con un perfume muy costoso, y lo derramó sobre la cabeza de Jesús mientras estaba reclinado.
7 a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.
8 Cuando los discípulos vieron [esto ]se indignaron y dijeron: ¿Para qué este derroche?
8 But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?
9 Pues esto se podría vender por mucho para dar a [los] pobres.
9 For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
10 Jesús les preguntó: ¿Por qué molestan a la mujer? Pues me hizo buena obra,
10 However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a good work for me.
11 porque siempre tienen con ustedes a los pobres, pero a Mí no me tienen siempre.
11 For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.
12 Al derramar este perfume sobre mi cuerpo, me preparó para ser sepultado.
12 For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
13 En verdad les digo: En cualquier parte del mundo donde se proclamen estas Buenas Noticias también se dirá lo que hizo en memoria de ella.
13 Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her.”
14 Entonces uno de los 12, Judas Iscariote, fue a los principales sacerdotes
14 Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
15 y les preguntó: ¿Qué me dan si yo se lo entrego? Y ellos le pesaron 30 piezas de plata.
15 and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?” So they weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.
16 Desde entonces buscaba una oportunidad para entregarlo.
16 From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
17 El primer día de la fiesta de los Panes sin Levadura, los discípulos preguntaron a Jesús: ¿Dónde quieres que preparemos para comer la pascua?
17 Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
18 Y Él contestó: Vayan a la ciudad, a casa de un hombre y díganle: El Maestro dice: Mi tiempo está cerca. En tu casa celebro la Pascua con mis discípulos.
18 He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.”’”
19 Los discípulos hicieron como Jesús les ordenó, y prepararon la pascua.
19 The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.
20 Cuando llegó la tarde, se reclinó a la mesa con los 12.
20 Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.
21 Mientras comían, [Jesús] dijo: En verdad les digo que uno de ustedes me entregará.
21 As they were eating, he said, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
22 Ellos, profundamente entristecidos, comenzaron a preguntarle, uno por uno: ¿Soy yo, Señor?
22 They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’t me, is it, Lord?”
23 Él respondió: El que mete la mano conmigo en el plato me entregará.
23 He answered, “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me.
24 En verdad, el Hijo del Hombre avanza según lo que está escrito de Él, pero ¡ay de aquel hombre por el cual el Hijo del Hombre es entregado! Bueno le fuera a ese hombre no haber nacido.
24 The Son of Man goes even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”
25 Entonces Judas, el que lo iba a entregar, preguntó: ¿Soy yo, Maestro? Le respondió: Tú [lo] dijiste.
25 Judas, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You said it.”
26 Mientras comían, Jesús tomó un pan, dio gracias, partió y al dar a los discípulos dijo: Tomen, coman. Esto es mi cuerpo.
26 As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”
27 Tomó una copa, dio gracias, les dio y dijo: Beban de ella todos.
27 He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it,
28 Esto es la sangre del Pacto, la cual se derrama por muchos para perdón de pecados.
28 for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.
29 Y les digo: Que de ningún modo beba de este fruto de la vid desde ahora hasta aquel día cuando beba nuevo [vino] con ustedes en el reino de mi Padre.
29 But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”
30 Después de cantar un himno, salieron hacia la Montaña de Los Olivos.
30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 Entonces Jesús les dijo: Esta noche todos ustedes serán conturbados a causa de Mí, porque está escrito: Heriré al Pastor y las ovejas del rebaño serán dispersadas.
31 Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 Pero después que Yo sea resucitado, iré delante de ustedes a Galilea.
32 But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”
33 Pedro respondió: Aunque todos sean conturbados por causa de Ti, yo nunca seré conturbado.
33 But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”
34 Jesús le dijo: En verdad te digo que esta noche, antes que un gallo cante, me negarás tres veces.
34 Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
35 Pedro le respondió: Aunque tenga que morir contigo, de ningún modo te negaré. Y todos los discípulos dijeron lo mismo.
35 Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise.
36 Entonces Jesús llegó con ellos a un lugar llamado Getsemaní y dijo a los discípulos: Siéntense aquí, mientras voy allí y hablo con Dios.
36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.”
37 Se llevó a Pedro y a los dos hijos de Zebedeo, y comenzó a entristecerse y angustiarse.
37 He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.
38 Les dijo: Mi alma está muy afligida hasta la muerte. ¡Quédense aquí y velen conmigo!
38 Then Jesus said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with me.”
39 Fue un poco más adelante, se postró sobre su rostro y habló con Dios: ¡Padre mío, si es posible pase de Mí esta copa! Pero no como Yo quiero, sino como Tú [quieras].
39 He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
40 Luego regresó a los discípulos y los halló dormidos, y dijo a Pedro: ¿Así que no pudieron velar conmigo una hora?
40 He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour?
41 Velen y hablen con Dios para que no entren en tentación. En verdad, el espíritu está dispuesto, pero el cuerpo es débil.
41 Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 Fue de nuevo y habló con Dios por segunda vez: ¡Padre mío, si esto no puede pasar sin que lo beba, sea hecha tu voluntad!
42 Again, a second time he went away and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.”
43 Al regresar, los halló otra vez dormidos, porque sus ojos estaban cargados [de sueño].
43 He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
44 Nuevamente los dejó, fue y habló con Dios por tercera vez, y dijo las mismas palabras.
44 He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.
45 Luego fue a los discípulos y les dijo: Duerman lo que resta y descansen. Miren, la hora llegó y el Hijo del Hombre es entregado en manos de pecadores.
45 Then he came to his disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Levántense, vamos. Miren, se acerca el que me entrega.
46 Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
47 Mientras hablaba llegó Judas, uno de los 12, acompañado por mucha gente con espadas y garrotes de parte de los sacerdotes y ancianos del pueblo.
47 While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 El que lo entregaba les dio una señal: Al que [yo] bese, Él es. Arréstenlo.
48 Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.”
49 Enseguida, al acercarse a Jesús, dijo: ¡Te saludo, Maestro! Y lo besó ostentosamente.
49 Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
50 Jesús le dijo: ¡Compañero, a lo que vienes! Entonces se acercaron, pusieron las manos sobre Jesús y lo arrestaron.
50 Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
51 Pero uno de los que estaban con Jesús, sacó su espada, atacó al esclavo del sumo sacerdote y le amputó la oreja.
51 Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
52 Entonces Jesús le dijo: Vuelve tu espada a su lugar, porque todos los que toman espada, a espada perecerán.
52 Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.
53 ¿O piensas que no puedo invocar a mi Padre, y ahora mismo pondría a mi disposición más de 12 legiones de ángeles?
53 Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 Pero entonces, ¿cómo se cumplirían las Escrituras las cuales dicen que así debe suceder?
54 How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”
55 En aquella hora Jesús dijo a la muchedumbre: ¿Como contra un bandido salieron ustedes a arrestarme con espadas y garrotes? Cada día me sentaba y enseñaba en el Templo, y no me arrestaron.
55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.
56 Pero todo esto sucedió para que se cumplieran las Escrituras de los profetas. Entonces todos los discípulos lo abandonaron y huyeron.
56 But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.
57 Los que arrestaron a Jesús lo llevaron ante el sumo sacerdote Caifás, donde estaban reunidos los escribas y los ancianos.
57 Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
58 Pedro lo seguía de lejos, hasta el patio del sumo sacerdote. Después de entrar, se sentó con los guardianes para ver el fin.
58 But Peter followed him from a distance to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.
59 Los principales sacerdotes y todo el Tribunal Supremo buscaban un falso testimonio contra Jesús para matarlo.
59 Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death,
60 Pero, aunque se presentaron muchos testigos falsos, no [lo] hallaron. Finalmente, al presentarse dos,
60 and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward
61 dijeron: Éste dijo: Puedo derribar el Santuario de Dios y reconstruirlo en tres días.
61 and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”
62 Entonces el sumo sacerdote se levantó y le preguntó: ¿Nada respondes a lo que testifican estos contra ti?
62 The high priest stood up and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”
63 Pero Jesús callaba. Entonces el sumo sacerdote le dijo: ¡Te conjuro por el Dios viviente que nos digas si Tú eres el Cristo, el Hijo de Dios!
63 But Jesus stayed silent. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”
64 Jesús le contestó: Tú mismo lo dijiste. Y además les digo: Desde ahora verán ustedes al Hijo del Hombre sentado a la mano derecha del Poder, y que viene sobre las nubes del cielo.
64 Jesus said to him, “You have said so. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”
65 Entonces el sumo sacerdote rasgó sus ropas y dijo: ¡Blasfemó! ¿Qué necesidad tenemos aún de testigos? ¡Ahora mismo ustedes oyeron la blasfemia!
65 Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.
66 ¿Cómo les parece? Ellos respondieron: ¡Es reo de muerte!
66 What do you think?” They answered, “He is worthy of death!”
67 Entonces lo escupieron en el rostro y le dieron puñetazos. Otros le dieron bofetadas
67 Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,
68 y decían: ¡Profetízanos, Cristo! ¿Quién es el que te golpeó?
68 saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?”
69 Pedro estaba sentado afuera en el patio. Se le acercó una esclava y [le] dijo: ¡Tú también estabas con Jesús el galileo!
69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!”
70 Pero él negó delante de todos: ¡No sé [de] qué hablas!
70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
71 Al salir a la puerta, otra lo vio y dijo a los que estaban allí: ¡Éste estaba con Jesús nazareno!
71 When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72 Otra vez negó con juramento: ¡No conozco al Hombre!
72 Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”
73 Después, se acercaron los que estaban por ahí y dijeron a Pedro: En verdad tú también eres de ellos, porque hasta tu manera de hablar te delata.
73 After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”
74 Entonces comenzó a maldecir y a jurar: ¡No conozco a ese Hombre! Enseguida un gallo cantó.
74 Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.
75 Pedro se acordó de la Palabra de Jesús, Quien le dijo: Antes que un gallo cante, me negarás tres veces. Y salió afuera y lloró amargamente.
75 Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Then he went out and wept bitterly.

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).

  1. Commentary 26:6 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXXX)

    This woman seems indeed to be one and the same with all the evangelists, yet she is not so; but though with the three she doth seem to me to be one and the same, yet not so with John, but another person, one much to be admired, the sister of Lazarus.

  2. Quotes verse 26:41 Polycarp of Smyrna, Epistle to the Philippians (The Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians)

    … forsaking the vanity of many, and their false doctrines, let us return to the word which has been handed down to us from the beginning; "watching unto prayer," and persevering in fasting; beseeching in our supplications the all-seeing God "not to lead us into temptation," as the Lord has said: "The spirit truly is willing, but the flesh is weak."

  3. Quotes verse 26:38 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book I, Chapter VIII)

    Her anguish, again, was indicated when He said, "My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death;" her fear by the words, "Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me;" and her perplexity, too, when He said, "And what I shall say, I know not."

  4. Quotes verse 26:10–13 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Chapters 11–13)

    Our Lord Himself, too, though He was to rise again the third day, applauds, and commends to our applause, the good work of the religious woman who poured precious ointment over His limbs, and did it against His burial. And the Gospel speaks with commendation of those who were careful to take down His body from the cross, and wrap …

  5. Quotes verse 26:41 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XIII)

    How then saith He, "Pray that ye enter not into temptation." For this cause he doth not show thee Jesus simply going up, but "led up" according to the principle of the Economy; signifying obscurely by this, that we ought not of ourselves to leap upon it, but being dragged thereto, to stand manfully.
