1 The whole company of them rose up and brought Jesus before 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 They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting our nation, forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and 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.
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 Pilate asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered him and said, “You say so.”
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 Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “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 But they were insisting, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even 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 So when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was 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 When he discovered that he was under Herod's authority, he sent Jesus to Herod, who himself also was at 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 When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, because he had wanted to see him for a long time. He had heard about him and he hoped to see 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.
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 Herod questioned Jesus in many words, but Jesus 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 The chief priests and the scribes stood, violently accusing him.
10 Y estaban los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los escribas acusándole con gran porfía.
10 The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
11 Herod with his soldiers insulted Jesus and they mocked him. Then they dressed him in elegant clothes and 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 For Herod and Pilate had become friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been enemies with each other.
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 Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the crowd of 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 and said to them, “You brought to me this man like a man who is leading the people to act badly, and see, I, having questioned him before you, find no fault in this man concerning those things of which you 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.
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, nor does Herod, for he sent him back to us, and see, nothing worthy of death has 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 I will therefore punish him, and release him.”
16 Le soltaré, pues, castigado.
16 I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
17 Not in this translation
17 Y tenía necesidad de soltarles uno en cada fiesta.
17 Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.
18 But they cried out all together, saying, “Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas!”
18 Mas toda la multitud dió voces á una, diciendo: Quita á éste, y suéltanos á Barrabás:
18 But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—
19 Barabbas was a man who had been put into prison for a certain rebellion in the city and for murder.
19 (El cual había sido echado en la cárcel por una sedición hecha en la ciudad, y una muerte.)
19 one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
20 Pilate addressed them again, desiring to release Jesus.
20 Y hablóles otra vez Pilato, queriendo soltar á Jesús.
20 Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,
21 But they shouted, saying, “Crucify him, crucify him.”
21 Pero ellos volvieron á dar voces, diciendo: Crucifícale, crucifícale.
21 but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
22 He said to them a third time, “Why, what evil has this man done? I have found nothing deserving the death penalty in him. Therefore after punishing him, 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 But they were insistent with loud voices, demanding for him to be crucified. Their voices convinced Pilate.
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 So Pilate decided to grant their demand.
24 Entonces Pilato juzgó que se hiciese lo que ellos pedían;
24 Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
25 He released the one they asked for who had been put in prison for rioting and murder. But he delivered 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 As they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and they laid the cross on him to carry, following 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 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 But turning to them, Jesus 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 see, the days are coming in which they will say, 'Blessed are the barren and the wombs that did not bear, and the breasts that did not nurse.'
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 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 while the tree is green, what will happen when it is 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 Other men, two criminals, were led away with him to be put to death.
32 Y llevaban también con él otros dos, malhechores, á ser muertos.

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?
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 10 (1888)
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.
