1 Y venida la mañana, todos los Príncipes de los sacerdotes y los Ancianos del pueblo entráron en consejo contra Jesús, para entregarle á la muerte.
1 Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.
2 Y lo lleváron atado, y lo entregáron al Presidente Poncio Pilato.
2 They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
3 Entónces Júdas, que le habia entregado, quando vio que habia sido condenado, movido de arrepentimiento, volvió las treinta monedas de plata á los Príncipes de los sacerdotes y á los Ancianos.
3 Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4 Diciendo: He pecado, entregando la sangre inocente. Mas ellos dixéron: ¿Qué nos importa á nosotros? viéraslo tú.
4 saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”
5 Y arrojando las monedas de plata en el templo, se retiró, y fué, y se ahorcó con un lazo.
5 He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6 Y los Príncipes de los sacerdotes tomando las monedas de plata, dixéron; No es lícito meterlas en el thesoro, porque es precio de sangre.
6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”
7 Y habiendo deliberado sobre ello, compráron con ellas el campo de un alfarero, para sepultura de los extrangeros.
7 They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in.
8 Por lo qual fué llamado aquel campo, Hacéldama, esto es, campo de sangre, hasta el día de hoy.
8 Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.
9 Entonces se cumplió lo que fué dicho por Jeremías el Propheta, que dixo: Y tomáron las treinta monedas de plata, precio del apreciado, al qual apreciaron de los hijos de Israel:
9 Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,
10 Y las diéron por el campo del alfaréro, así como me lo ordenó el Señor.
10 and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”
11 Y Jesús fué presentado ante el Presidente: y le preguntó el Presidente, y le dixo: ¿Eres tú el Rey de los Judíos? Jesús le dice: Tú lo dices.
11 Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “So you say.”
12 Y como le acusasen los Príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los Ancianos, nada respondió.
12 When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13 Entonces le dice Pilato: ¿No oyes quántos testimonios dicen contra tí?
13 Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”
14 Y no le respondió palabra alguna, de modo que se maravilló el Presidente en gran manera.
14 He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.
15 Por el día solemne acostumbraba el Presidente entregar libre al pueblo un preso, el que querian.
15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.
16 Y á la sazon tenia un preso muy famoso, que se llamaba Barrabás.
16 They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.
17 Y habiéndose ellos juntado, les dixo Pilato: ¿A quién queréis que os entregue libre? ¿á Barrabás, ó por ventura á Jesús, que es llamado el Christo?
17 When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
18 Pues sabia que por envidia lo habían entregado.
18 For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.
19 Y estándo él sentado en su tribunal, le envió á decir su muger: Nada tengas tú con aquel Justo: porque muchas cosas he padecido hoy en vision por causa de él.
19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.”
20 Mas los Príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los Ancianos persuadiéron al pueblo que pidiese á Barrabás, y que hiciese morir á Jesús.
20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
21 Y el Presidente les respondió, y dixo: ¿A quál de los dos quereis que entrégue libre? Y dixéron ellos: A Barrabás.
21 But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”
22 Pilato les dice: ¿Pues que haré de Jesús, que es llamado el Christo?
22 Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”
23 Dicen todos: Sea crucificado. El Presidente les dice: ¿Pues qué mal ha hecho? Y ellos levantaban mas el grito, diciendo: Sea crucificado.
23 But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”
24 Y viendo Pilato que nada adelantaba, sino que crecia el alboroto, tomando agua, se lavó las manos delante del pueblo, diciendo: Inocente soy yo de la sangre de este Justo; allá os lo veais vosotros.
24 So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”
25 Y respondiendo todo el pueblo, dixo: Sóbre nosotros, y sóbre nuestros hijos sea su sangre.
25 All the people answered, “May his blood be on us and on our children!”
26 Entónces les soltó á Barrabás: y después de haber hecho azotar á Jesús, se lo entregó para que lo crucificasen.
26 Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
27 Entonces los soldados del Presidente tomando á Jesús para llevarle al pretorio, hicieron formar al rededor de él toda la cohorte:
27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.
28 Y desnudándole; le vistieron un manto de grana:
28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.
29 Y texiendo una corona de espinas, se la pusiéron sobre la cabeza, y una caña en su mano derecha. Y doblando ante él la rodilla, le escarnecían, diciendo: Dios te salve, Rey de los Judios.
29 They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
30 Y escupiéndole, tomáron una caña, y le herían en la cabeza.
30 They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
31 Y después que lo escarneciéron, le desnudáron del manto, y le vistieron sus ropas, y lo lleváron á crucificar
31 When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.
32 Y al salir fuera; halláron un hombre de Cyréne, por nombre Simón: á éste obligaron á que cargáse con la cruz de Jesús.
32 As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.
33 Y viniéron á un lugar, llamado Gólgotha, esto es, lugar de la Calavéra.
33 When they came to a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The place of a skull,”
34 Y le diéron á beber vino mezclado con hiel. Y habiéndolo probado, no lo quiso beber.
34 they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.
35 Y después que lo hubiéron crucificado, repartiéron sus vestiduras, echando suerte: para que se cumpliese lo que fué dicho por el Propheta, que dice: Se repartiéron mis vestiduras, y sobre mi túnica echáron suerte.
35 When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,
36 Y sentados le hacían la guardia.
36 and they sat and watched him there.
37 Y pusiéron sóbre su cabeza su causa escrita: ESTE ES JESUS EL REY DE LOS JUDÍOS.
37 They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
38 Entonces crucificáron dos ladrones con él: uno á la derecha, y otro á la izquierda.
38 Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.
39 Y los que pasaban le blasphemaban moviendo sus cabezas,
39 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads
40 Y diciendo: Ha, tú el que destruyes el templo de Dios, y lo reedificas en tres días, sálvate á tí mismo: si eres Hijo de Dios, desciende de la cruz.
40 and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
41 Asimismo insultándole también los Príncipes de los sacerdotes con los Escribas, y Ancianos, decian:
41 Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,
42 A otros salvó, y á sí mismo no puede salvar: si es el Rey de Israél, descienda ahora de la cruz, y le creémos:
42 “He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
43 Confió en Dios: líbrelo ahora, si le áma; pues dixo: Hijo soy de Dios.
43 He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
44 Y los ladrones que estaban crucificados con él, le improperaban.
44 The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.
45 Mas desde la hora de sexta hubo tinieblas sobre toda la tierra hasta la hora de nona.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
46 Y cerca de la hora de nona clamó Jesús con grande voz, diciendo: ELI, ELI, ¿LAMMA SABACTHANI? esto es: Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has desamparado?
46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
47 Algunos pues de los que allí estaban, quando ésto oyéron, decían: A Elías llama éste.
47 Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”
48 Y luego corriendo uno de ellos, tomó una esponja, y la empapó en vinagre, y la puso sobre una caña, y le daba á beber.
48 Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.
49 Y los otros decían: Dexad, veamos si viene Elías á librarlo.
49 The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”
50 Mas Jesús clamando segunda vez con grande voz, entregó el espíritu,
50 Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
51 Y he aquí se rasgó el velo del templo en dos partes de alto á báxo, y tembló la tierra, y se hendiéron las piedras.
51 Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.
52 Y se abrieron los sepulchros: y muchos cuerpos de Santos que habían muerto, resucitáron.
52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
53 Y saliendo de los sepulchros después de la resurrección de él, viniéron á la santa ciudad, y apareciéron á muchos.
53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
54 Mas el centurion, y los que con él estaban guardando á Jesús, visto el terremoto, y las cosas que pasaban, tuviéron grande miedo, y decían: Verdaderamente Hijo de Dios éra éste.
54 Now the centurion and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were done, were terrified, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”
55 Y estaban allí muchas mugeres á lo lejos, que habían seguido á Jesús desde Galiléa, sirviéndole:
55 Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.
56 Entre las quales estaba María Magdalena, y María madre de Santiago y de Joseph, y la madre de los hijos de Zebedéo.
56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 Y quando fué tarde, vino un hombre rico de Arimathéa, llamado Joseph, el qual era también discípulo de Jesús.
57 When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple, came.
58 Este llegó á Pilato, y le pidió el cuerpo de Jesús. Pilato entonces mandó que se le diese el cuerpo.
58 This man went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
59 Y tomando Joseph el cuerpo, le envolvió en una sábana limpia.
59 Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth
60 Y lo puso en un sepulchro suyo nuevo, que había hecho abrir en una peña. Y revolvió una grande losa á la entrada del sepulchro, y se fué.
60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.
61 Y María Magdalena, y la otra María, estaban alli sentadas enfrente del sepulchro.
61 Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
62 Y otro día, que es el que se sigue al de la Parascéve, los Príncipes de los sacerdotes y los Phariséos acudiéron juntos á Pilato,
62 Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,
63 Diciendo: Señor, nos acordamos que dixo aquel impostor, quando todavía estaba en vida: Despues de tres días resucitaré,
63 saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’
64 Manda pues que se guarde el sepulchro hasta el tercero día, no sea que vengan sus discípulos, y lo hurten, y digan á la plebe; Resucitó de éntre los muertos: y será el postrer error peor que el primero,
64 Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
65 Pilato les dixo: Guardas teneis, id, y guardadlo como sabéis,
65 Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”
66 Ellos pues fuéron, y para asegurar el sepulchro, sellaron la piedra, y pusieron guardas.
66 So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.

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).
Seest thou what He is first asked? which thing most of all they were continually bringing forward in every way? For since they saw Pilate making no account of the matters of the law, they direct their accusation to the state charges.

For when the things which pertain to His passion are prophetically spoken there also in the person of Christ, that is mentioned which is unfolded in the Gospel: "They gave me gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar for drink."

For as to their being aware of it, they say to Pilate, "That deceiver said," these are their words, "while He was yet alive, After three days I will rise again;" and yet we know His disciples were ignorant of this; even as they had been beforehand more void of understanding than these: wherefore also these became self-condemned.

He lays down His life, but He has power to take it again; and the veil is rent, for the mysterious doors of Heaven are opened; the rocks are cleft, the dead arise. He dies, but He gives life, and by His death destroys death.
