Jesús es condenado a la muerte

19 Entonces Pilato ordenó que llevaran a Jesús y lo azotaran. Los soldados no sólo cumplieron la orden sino que también hicieron una corona de espinas y se la colocaron en la cabeza. Luego le pusieron un manto de color morado, se acercaban y le decían:

—¡Viva el rey de los judíos!

Y le daban bofetadas.

Pilato salió otra vez y les dijo:

—Miren, aquí lo traigo, para que sepan que yo no encuentro ningún delito en este caso.

Entonces Jesús salió con la corona de espinas y el manto de color rojo oscuro. Pilato dijo:

—¡Aquí está el hombre!

Cuando lo vieron, los jefes de los sacerdotes y los guardias gritaron:

—¡Crucifícalo! ¡Crucifícalo!

Pilato les dijo:

—¡Llévenselo ustedes y crucifíquenlo! Yo no he podido encontrar nada contra él.

Los líderes judíos le contestaron:

—Tenemos una ley y según la ley él debe morir porque se ha hecho pasar por Hijo de Dios.

Después de escuchar esto, Pilato se asustó más. Entró de nuevo al palacio y le dijo a Jesús:

—¿De dónde eres?

Pero Jesús no le respondió.

10 Entonces Pilato le dijo:

—¿No vas a hablarme? ¿Acaso no sabes que yo tengo la autoridad para dejarte libre o para matarte en una cruz?

11 Jesús le contestó:

—No tienes ninguna autoridad sobre mí a menos que te la haya dado Dios. Por esto, el hombre que me entregó a ti es más culpable que tú.

12 Desde ese momento, Pilato trataba de encontrar una manera de dejarlo en libertad, pero los judíos gritaban:

—¡Si lo dejas libre, no eres amigo del emperador! ¡Todo el que se hace rey, se opone al emperador!

13 Cuando Pilato escuchó estas palabras, sacó a Jesús y se sentó en la silla del juez. El lugar era el Pavimento de Piedra (que en arameo se dice Gabatá). 14 Era casi el mediodía del día de preparación para la Pascua. Pilato les dijo a los judíos:

—¡Aquí está su rey!

15 Entonces gritaban:

—¡Fuera! ¡Fuera! ¡Crucifícalo!

Pilato les dijo:

—¿Crucifico a su rey?

Los jefes de los sacerdotes respondieron:

—¡Nosotros no tenemos más rey que el emperador!

16 Entonces Pilato se lo entregó a ellos para que lo crucificaran.

Crucifixión de Jesús

(Mt 27:32-44; Mr 15:21-32; Lc 23:26-39)

Así que los soldados se hicieron cargo de Jesús. 17 Él cargó su propia cruz hasta llegar al sitio llamado Lugar de la Calavera (que en arameo se dice Gólgota). 18 Allí lo clavaron a una cruz junto a otros dos hombres, uno a cada lado.

19 Pilato les dijo que escribieran un letrero que decía: «Jesús de Nazaret, Rey de los judíos» y lo hizo colocar en la cruz. 20 Muchos de los judíos leyeron el letrero, porque el lugar donde fue crucificado Jesús estaba cerca de la ciudad. Estaba escrito en hebreo, griego y latín. 21 Los jefes de los sacerdotes judíos le decían a Pilato:

—No escribas “Rey de los judíos”, sino más bien: “Este hombre dijo: Yo soy el rey de los judíos”.

22 Pilato contestó:

—Lo escrito, escrito está.

23 Después de que crucificaron a Jesús, los soldados le quitaron la ropa. La repartieron en cuatro partes, una para cada soldado. También tomaron su túnica pero no tenía costura. Era una túnica tejida en una sola pieza de arriba a abajo. 24 (A)Entonces se dijeron unos a otros:

—No la rompamos, más bien echémosla a la suerte para ver quién se queda con ella.

Esto sucedió para que se cumpliera lo que dice en la Escritura:

«Dividieron mi ropa entre ellos
    y echaron mi túnica a la suerte».[a]

Eso fue lo que hicieron los soldados.

25 Cerca de la cruz de Jesús estaban su mamá y su tía María, la esposa de Cleofás, y María Magdalena. 26 Cuando Jesús vio que su mamá estaba cerca, junto al seguidor que él tanto quería, le dijo a su mamá:

—Mamá[b], ahí tienes a tu hijo.

27 Después le dijo al seguidor:

—Ahí tienes a tu mamá.

Desde ese momento ese seguidor se la llevó a vivir a su casa.

Muerte de Jesús

(Mt 27:45-56; Mr 15:33-41; Lc 23:44-49)

28 Después de esto, Jesús supo que había hecho todo lo que tenía que hacer. Entonces, para que se cumpliera la Escritura, dijo:

—Tengo sed.[c]

29 Mojaron una esponja en el vinagre de un frasco que había ahí. La colocaron en una rama de hisopo y se la acercaron a la boca.

30 Jesús bebió el vinagre y dijo:

—Todo está cumplido.

Entonces inclinó su cabeza y murió.

31 Era día de preparación para la Pascua, y los cuerpos no debían estar en las cruces en día de descanso. Entonces los líderes de los judíos le pidieron a Pilato que les quebraran las piernas y que quitaran los cuerpos de las cruces. 32 Después llegaron los soldados y les quebraron las piernas al primer hombre y al otro que habían crucificado con él. 33 Pero cuando se acercaron a Jesús vieron que ya estaba muerto, así que a él no le quebraron las piernas, 34 sino que uno de los soldados le abrió el costado con una lanza, y al instante salió sangre y agua. 35 El que lo vio da testimonio de esto y su testimonio es verídico. Sabe que dice la verdad para que ustedes también crean. 36 (B)Esto pasó para que se cumpliera lo que dice la Escritura: «No se romperá ninguno de sus huesos».[d] 37 (C)Y también, otra Escritura dice: «Ellos mirarán al que abrieron con lanza».[e]

Jesús es sepultado

(Mt 27:57-61; Mr 15:42-47; Lc 23:50-56)

38 Después de esto, José de Arimatea le pidió permiso a Pilato para llevarse el cuerpo de Jesús. José era seguidor de Jesús, pero en secreto porque tenía miedo de los líderes de los judíos. Pilato le dio permiso y él fue y se llevó el cuerpo. 39 Vino también Nicodemo, el mismo que antes había visitado a Jesús de noche, trayendo una mezcla de mirra y áloes. La mezcla pesaba unos 30 kilos[f]. 40 Entonces tomaron el cuerpo de Jesús y lo envolvieron en vendas de lino junto con las especias. Era la forma acostumbrada en un entierro judío. 41 En el lugar donde crucificaron a Jesús había un huerto, y allí había un sepulcro nuevo donde todavía no se había enterrado a nadie. 42 Los judíos se preparaban para el día de descanso. Como el sepulcro estaba cerca, pusieron a Jesús ahí.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus(A)

19 So then (B)Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe. [a]Then they said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they (C)struck Him with their hands.

Pilate then went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, (D)that you may know that I find no fault in Him.”

Pilate’s Decision

Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!”

(E)Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!

Pilate said to them, “You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in Him.”

The Jews answered him, (F)“We have a law, and according to [b]our law He ought to die, because (G)He made Himself the Son of God.”

Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid, and went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” (H)But Jesus gave him no answer.

10 Then Pilate said to Him, “Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have [c]power to crucify You, and power to release You?”

11 Jesus answered, (I)“You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore (J)the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”

12 From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar’s friend. (K)Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.”

13 (L)When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 Now (M)it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, “Behold your King!”

15 But they cried out, “Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!”

Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?”

The chief priests answered, (N)“We have no king but Caesar!”

16 (O)Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. Then they took Jesus [d]and led Him away.

The King on a Cross(P)

17 (Q)And He, bearing His cross, (R)went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, 18 where they crucified Him, and (S)two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center. 19 (T)Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was:

JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

20 Then many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

21 Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘He said, “I am the King of the Jews.” ’ ”

22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

23 (U)Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece. 24 They said therefore among themselves, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says:

(V)“They divided My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.”

Therefore the soldiers did these things.

Behold Your Mother

25 (W)Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of (X)Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and (Y)the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, (Z)“Woman, behold your son!” 27 Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her (AA)to his own home.

It Is Finished

28 After this, Jesus, [e]knowing that all things were now accomplished, (AB)that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” 29 Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and (AC)they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. 30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, (AD)“It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

Jesus’ Side Is Pierced

31 (AE)Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, (AF)that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a (AG)high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him. 33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately (AH)blood and water came out. 35 And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is (AI)true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may (AJ)believe. 36 For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, (AK)“Not one of His bones shall be broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, (AL)“They shall look on Him whom they pierced.”

Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb(AM)

38 (AN)After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, (AO)for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus. 39 And (AP)Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of (AQ)myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. 40 Then they took the body of Jesus, and (AR)bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. 41 Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 42 So (AS)there they laid Jesus, (AT)because of the Jews’ Preparation Day, for the tomb was nearby.

Jesus Delivered to Be Crucified

19 Then Pilate took Jesus and (A)flogged him. (B)And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe. They came up to him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and struck him with their hands. Pilate went out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that (C)I find no guilt in him.” So Jesus came out, wearing (D)the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, (E)“Behold the man!” When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, (F)“Take him yourselves and crucify him, for (G)I find no guilt in him.” The Jews[a] answered him, “We have a law, and (H)according to that law he ought to die because (I)he has made himself the Son of God.” When Pilate heard this statement, (J)he was even more afraid. (K)He entered his headquarters again and said to Jesus, (L)“Where are you from?” But (M)Jesus gave him no answer. 10 So Pilate said to him, “You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?” 11 Jesus answered him, (N)“You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore (O)he who delivered me over to you (P)has the greater sin.”

12 From then on (Q)Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. (R)Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar.” 13 So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on (S)the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Aramaic[b] Gabbatha. 14 Now it was (T)the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour.[c] He said to the Jews, (U)“Behold your King!” 15 They cried out, (V)“Away with him, away with him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.” 16 (W)So he (X)delivered him over to them to be crucified.

The Crucifixion

So they took Jesus, 17 and (Y)he went out, (Z)bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. 18 (AA)There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. 19 Pilate (AB)also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” 20 Many of the Jews read this inscription, for (AC)the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’” 22 Pilate answered, (AD)“What I have written I have written.”

23 (AE)When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic.[d] But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, 24 so they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” (AF)This was to fulfill the Scripture which says,

(AG)“They divided my garments among them,
    and for my clothing they cast lots.”

So the soldiers did these things, 25 (AH)but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother and (AI)the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, (AJ)“Woman, behold, your son!” 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to (AK)his own home.

The Death of Jesus

28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now (AL)finished, said ((AM)to fulfill the Scripture), (AN)“I thirst.” 29 A jar full of sour wine stood there, (AO)so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. 30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, (AP)“It is finished,” and he bowed his head and (AQ)gave up his spirit.

Jesus' Side Is Pierced

31 Since it was (AR)the day of Preparation, and (AS)so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was (AT)a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other (AU)who had been crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out (AV)blood and water. 35 (AW)He who saw it has borne witness—(AX)his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—(AY)that you also may believe. 36 (AZ)For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: (BA)“Not one of his bones (BB)will be broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, (BC)“They will look on him whom they have pierced.”

Jesus Is Buried

38 (BD)After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly (BE)for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body. 39 (BF)Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus[e] by night, came (BG)bringing a mixture of (BH)myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds[f] in weight. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and (BI)bound it in (BJ)linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a (BK)garden, and (BL)in the garden a new tomb (BM)in which no one had yet been laid. 42 So because of the Jewish (BN)day of Preparation, (BO)since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
