RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 It was now two days before the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The chief priests and the scribes were considering how they might stealthily arrest Jesus and then kill him.
1 Y DOS días después era la Pascua y [los días] de los panes sin levadura: y procuraban los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los escribas cómo le prenderían por engaño, y le matarían.
2 For they were saying, “Not during the feast, so that a riot does not arise among the people.”
2 Y decían: No en el día de la fiesta, porque no se haga alboroto del pueblo.
3 While Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining at the table, a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very costly liquid, which was pure nard. She broke the jar and poured it on his head.
3 Y estando él en Bethania en casa de Simón el leproso, y sentado á la mesa, vino una mujer teniendo un alabastro de ungüento de nardo espique de mucho precio; y quebrando el alabastro, derramóselo sobre su cabeza.
4 But there were some who were angry. They spoke among themselves and said, “What is the reason for this waste?
4 Y hubo algunos que se enojaron dentro de sí, y dijeron: ¿Para qué se ha hecho este desperdicio de ungüento?
5 This perfume could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor.” Then they scolded her.
5 Porque podía esto ser vendido por más de trescientos denarios, y darse á los pobres. Y murmuraban contra ella.
6 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why are you troubling her? She has done a beautiful thing for me.
6 Mas Jesús dijo: Dejadla; ¿por qué la fatigáis? buena obra me ha hecho;
7 You always have the poor with you, and whenever you desire you can do good to them, but you will not always have me.
7 Que siempre tendréis los pobres con vosotros, y cuando quisiereis les podréis hacer bien; mas á mí no siempre me tendréis.
8 She has done what she could. She has anointed my body for burial.
8 Esta ha hecho lo que podía; porque se ha anticipado á ungir mi cuerpo para la sepultura.
9 Truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will be spoken of, in memory of her.”
9 De cierto os digo que donde quiera que fuere predicado este evangelio en todo el mundo, también esto que ha hecho ésta, será dicho para memoria de ella.
10 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests so that he might deliver him over to them.
10 Entonces Judas Iscariote, uno de los doce, vino á los príncipes de los sacerdotes, para entregársele.
11 When the chief priests heard it, they were glad and promised to give him money. He began looking for an opportunity to deliver him to them.
11 Y ellos oyéndolo se holgaron, y prometieron que le darían dineros. Y buscaba oportunidad cómo le entregaría.
12 On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, “Where do you want us to go to prepare, so you may eat the Passover meal?”
12 Y el primer día de los panes sin levadura, cuando sacrificaban la pascua, sus discípulos le dicen: ¿Dónde quieres que vayamos á disponer para que comas la pascua?
13 He sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man bearing a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him.
13 Y envía dos de sus discípulos, y les dice: Id á la ciudad, y os encontrará un hombre que lleva un cántaro de agua; seguidle;
14 Where he enters a house, follow him in and say to the owner of that house, 'The Teacher says, “Where is my guest room where I will eat the Passover with my disciples?”'
14 Y donde entrare, decid al señor de la casa: El Maestro dice: ¿Dónde está el aposento donde he de comer la pascua con mis discípulos?
15 He will show you a large furnished upper room that is ready. Make the preparations for us there.”
15 Y él os mostrará un gran cenáculo ya preparado: aderezad para nosotros allí.
16 The disciples left and went to the city. They found everything as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover meal.
16 Y fueron sus discípulos, y vinieron á la ciudad, y hallaron como les había dicho; y aderezaron la pascua.
17 When it was evening, he came with the twelve.
17 Y llegada la tarde, fué con los doce.
18 As they were lying down at the table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, one of you eating with me will betray me.”
18 Y como se sentaron á la mesa y comiesen, dice Jesús: De cierto os digo que uno de vosotros, que come conmigo, me ha de entregar.
19 They were all very sorrowful, and one by one they said to him, “Surely not I?”
19 Entonces ellos comenzaron á entristecerse, y á decirle cada uno por sí: ¿[Seré] yo? Y el otro: ¿[Seré] yo?
20 Jesus answered and said to them, “It is one of the twelve, the one now dipping bread with me in the bowl.
20 Y él respondiendo les dijo: [Es] uno de los doce que moja conmigo en el plato.
21 For the Son of Man will go the way that the scripture says about him. But woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for him if he had not been born.”
21 A la verdad el Hijo del hombre va, como está de él escrito; mas ¡ay de aquel hombre por quien el Hijo del hombre es entregado! bueno le fuera á aquel hombre si nunca hubiera nacido.
22 As they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed it, and broke it. He gave it to them and said, “Take this. This is my body.”
22 Y estando ellos comiendo, tomó Jesús pan, y bendiciendo, partió y les dió, y dijo: Tomad, esto es mi cuerpo.
23 He took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
23 Y tomando el vaso, habiendo hecho gracias, les dió: y bebieron de él todos.
24 He said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, the blood that is poured out for many.
24 Y les dice: Esto es mi sangre del nuevo pacto, que por muchos es derramada.
25 Truly I say to you, I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
25 De cierto os digo que no beberé más del fruto de la vid, hasta aquel día cuando lo beberé nuevo en el reino de Dios.
26 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
26 Y como hubieron cantado el himno, se salieron al monte de las Olivas.
27 Jesus said to them, “All of you will fall away, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered.'
27 Jesús entonces les dice: Todos seréis escandalizados en mí esta noche; porque escrito está: Heriré al pastor, y serán derramadas las ovejas.
28 But after I am raised up, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
28 Mas después que haya resucitado, iré delante de vosotros á Galilea.
29 Peter said to him, “Even if all fall away, I will not.”
29 Entonces Pedro le dijo: Aunque todos sean escandalizados, mas no yo.
30 Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, today—yes, this very night—before the rooster crows twice you will deny me three times.”
30 Y le dice Jesús: De cierto te digo que tú, hoy, en esta noche, antes que el gallo haya cantado dos veces, me negarás tres veces.
31 But Peter said, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” They all made the same promise.
31 Mas él con mayor porfía decía: Si me fuere menester morir contigo, no te negaré. También todos decían lo mismo.
32 They came to the place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
32 Y vienen al lugar que se llama Gethsemaní, y dice á sus discípulos: Sentaos aquí, entre tanto que yo oro.
33 He took Peter, James, and John with him and began to be distressed and deeply troubled.
33 Y toma consigo á Pedro y á Jacobo y á Juan, y comenzó á atemorizarse, y á angustiarse.
34 He said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Remain here and watch.”
34 Y les dice: Está muy triste mi alma, hasta la muerte: esperad aquí y velad.
35 Going a little farther, Jesus fell to the ground and prayed that if it were possible the hour might pass from him.
35 Y yéndose un poco adelante, se postró en tierra, y oró que si fuese posible, pasase de él aquella hora.
36 He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible with you. Remove this cup from me. But not my will, but yours.”
36 Y decía: Abba, Padre, todas las cosas son á ti posibles; traspasa de mí este vaso; empero no lo que yo quiero, sino lo que tú.
37 He came back and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch for one hour?
37 Y vino y los halló durmiendo; y dice á Pedro: ¿Simón, duermes? ¿No has podido velar una hora?
38 Watch and pray that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
38 Velad y orad, para que no entréis en tentación: el espíritu á la verdad es presto, mas la carne enferma.
39 Again he went away and prayed, and he used the same words.
39 Y volviéndose á ir, oró, y dijo las mismas palabras.
40 When he came back again, he found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him.
40 Y vuelto, los halló otra vez durmiendo, porque los ojos de ellos estaban cargados; y no sabían qué responderle.
41 He came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? Enough! The hour has come. Look! The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
41 Y vino la tercera vez, y les dice: Dormid ya y descansad: basta, la hora es venida; he aquí, el Hijo del hombre es entregado en manos de los pecadores.
42 Get up; let us go. Look, the one who is betraying me is near.”
42 Levantaos, vamos: he aquí, el que me entrega está cerca.
43 While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived, and a large crowd was with him with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.
43 Y luego, aun hablando él, vino Judas, que era uno de los doce, y con él una compañía con espadas y palos, de parte de los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y de los escribas y de los ancianos.
44 Now his betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him and lead him away under guard.”
44 Y el que le entregaba les había dado señal común, diciendo: Al que yo besare, aquél es: prendedle, y llevadle con seguridad.
45 When Judas arrived, immediately he came up to Jesus and said, “Rabbi,” and he kissed him.
45 Y como vino, se acercó luego á él, y le dice: Maestro, Maestro. Y le besó.
46 Then they laid hands on him and seized him.
46 Entonces ellos echaron en él sus manos, y le prendieron.
47 But one of them who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
47 Y uno de los que estaban allí, sacando la espada, hirió al siervo del sumo sacerdote, y le cortó la oreja.
48 Jesus said to them, “Do you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me?
48 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: ¿Como á ladrón habéis salido con espadas y con palos á tomarme?
49 When I was daily with you and I was teaching in the temple, you did not arrest me. But this was done that the scriptures might be fulfilled.”
49 Cada día estaba con vosotros enseñando en el templo, y no me tomasteis; pero [es así], para que se cumplan las Escrituras.
50 All those with Jesus left him and ran away.
50 Entonces dejándole todos [sus discípulos], huyeron.
51 A young man, wearing only a linen garment that was wrapped around him, was following Jesus. When the men seized him
51 Empero un mancebillo le seguía cubierto de una sábana sobre [el cuerpo] desnudo; y los mancebos le prendieron:
52 he left the linen garment and ran away naked.
52 Mas él, dejando la sábana, se huyó de ellos desnudo.
53 They led Jesus to the high priest. There were gathered with him all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes.
53 Y trajeron á Jesús al sumo sacerdote; y se juntaron á él todos los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los ancianos y los escribas.
54 Now Peter followed him from a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest. He sat among the guards, who were near a fire to keep warm.
54 Empero Pedro le siguió de lejos hasta dentro del patio del sumo sacerdote; y estaba sentado con los servidores, y calentándose al fuego.
55 Now the chief priests and the entire Jewish council were seeking testimony against Jesus so they might put him to death. But they did not find any.
55 Y los príncipes de los sacerdotes y todo el concilio buscaban testimonio contra Jesús, para entregarle á la muerte; mas no lo hallaban.
56 For many brought false testimony against him, but even their testimony did not agree.
56 Porque muchos decían falso testimonio contra él; mas sus testimonios no concertaban.
57 Some stood up and brought false testimony against him; they said,
57 Entonces levantándose unos, dieron falso testimonio contra él, diciendo:
58 “We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.'”
58 Nosotros le hemos oído decir: Yo derribaré este templo que es hecho de mano, y en tres días edificaré otro echo sin mano.
59 Yet even their testimony did not agree.
59 Mas ni aun así se concertaba el testimonio de ellos.
60 The high priest stood up among them and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What is it these men testify against you?”
60 Entonces el sumo sacerdote, levantándose en medio, preguntó á Jesús, diciendo: ¿No respondes algo? ¿Qué atestiguan éstos contra ti?
61 But he was silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest questioned him and said, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”
61 Mas él callaba, y nada respondía. El sumo sacerdote le volvió á preguntar, y le dice: ¿Eres tú el Cristo, el Hijo del Bendito?
62 Jesus said, “I am; and you will see the Son of Man when he sits at the right hand of power and comes with the clouds of heaven.”
62 Y Jesús le dijo: Yo soy; y veréis al Hijo del hombre sentado á la diestra de la potencia [de Dios], y viniendo en las nubes del cielo.
63 The high priest tore his garments and said, “Do we still need witnesses?
63 Entonces el sumo sacerdote, rasgando sus vestidos, dijo: ¿Qué más tenemos necesidad de testigos?
64 You have heard the blasphemy. What is your decision?” They all condemned him as one who deserved death.
64 Oído habéis la blasfemia: ¿qué os parece? Y ellos todos le condenaron ser culpado de muerte.
65 Some began to spit on him and to cover his face and strike him and say to him, “Prophesy!” The officers took him and beat him.
65 Y algunos comenzaron á escupir en él, y cubrir su rostro, y á darle bofetadas, y decirle: Profetiza. Y los servidores le herían de bofetadas.
66 While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came to him.
66 Y estando Pedro abajo en el atrio, vino una de las criadas del sumo sacerdote;
67 She saw Peter warming himself, and she looked closely at him and said, “You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus.”
67 Y como vió á Pedro que se calentaba, mirándole, dice: Y tú con Jesús el Nazareno estabas.
68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are talking about.” Then he went out into the courtyard.
68 Mas él negó, diciendo: No conozco, ni sé lo que dices. Y se salió fuera á la entrada; y cantó el gallo.
69 But the servant girl there saw him and began to say again to those who stood there, “This man is one of them!”
69 Y la criada viéndole otra vez, comenzó á decir á los que estaban allí: Este es de ellos.
70 But he denied it again. After a little while those who stood there were saying to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you also are a Galilean.”
70 Mas él negó otra vez. Y poco después, los que estaban allí dijeron otra vez á Pedro: Verdaderamente tú eres de ellos; porque eres Galileo, y tu habla es semejante.
71 But he began to put himself under curses and to swear, “I do not know this man you are talking about.”
71 Y él comenzó á maldecir y á jurar: No conozco á este hombre de quien habláis.
72 The rooster immediately crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the words that Jesus had said to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times,” and he broke down and wept.
72 Y el gallo cantó la segunda vez: y Pedro se acordó de las palabras que Jesús le había dicho: Antes que el gallo cante dos veces, me negarás tres veces. Y pensando en esto, lloraba.

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).
