Jesús ante Pilato

23 Entonces toda la asamblea de ellos se levantó, y llevaron a Jesús[a] ante Pilato(A). 2 (B)Y comenzaron a acusarle, diciendo: Hemos hallado que este pervierte a nuestra nación(C), prohibiendo pagar[b] impuesto al César(D), y diciendo que Él mismo es Cristo[c], un Rey. 3 Pilato entonces le preguntó, diciendo: ¿Eres tú el Rey de los judíos? Y Jesús respondiéndole, dijo: Tú lo dices(E). 4 Y Pilato dijo a los principales sacerdotes y a la multitud: No encuentro delito en este hombre(F). 5 Pero ellos insistían, diciendo: Él alborota al pueblo, enseñando por toda Judea, comenzando desde Galilea(G) hasta aquí. 6 Cuando Pilato oyó esto, preguntó si el hombre era galileo. 7 Y al saber que Jesús pertenecía a la jurisdicción de Herodes, le remitió a Herodes(H), que también estaba en Jerusalén en aquellos[d] días.

Jesús ante Herodes

8 Herodes, al ver a Jesús se alegró en gran manera, pues hacía mucho tiempo que quería verle(I) por lo que había oído hablar de Él, y esperaba ver alguna señal[e] que Él hiciera. 9 Y le interrogó extensamente[f], pero Jesús[g] nada le respondió(J). 10 Los principales sacerdotes y los escribas también estaban allí, acusándole con vehemencia. 11 Entonces Herodes, con sus soldados, después de tratarle con desprecio y burlarse de Él, le vistió con un espléndido manto(K) y le envió de nuevo a Pilato. 12 Aquel mismo día Herodes y Pilato(L) se hicieron amigos, pues antes habían estado enemistados el uno con el otro.

Pilato condena a Jesús

13 Entonces Pilato convocó a los principales sacerdotes, a los gobernantes(M) y al pueblo, 14 y les dijo: Me habéis presentado a este hombre como uno que incita al pueblo a la rebelión(N), pero[h] habiéndole interrogado yo delante de vosotros, no he hallado ningún delito en este hombre(O) de las acusaciones que hacéis contra Él. 15 Ni tampoco Herodes(P), pues nos lo ha remitido de nuevo; y he aquí que nada ha hecho[i] que merezca la muerte. 16 Por consiguiente, después de castigarle, le soltaré(Q). 17 [j]Y tenía obligación de soltarles un preso en cada fiesta. 18 Pero todos ellos gritaron a una, diciendo: ¡(R)Fuera con este, y suéltanos a Barrabás! 19 (Este[k] había sido echado en la cárcel por un levantamiento ocurrido en la ciudad, y por homicidio.) 20 Pilato, queriendo soltar a Jesús, les volvió a hablar, 21 pero ellos continuaban gritando, diciendo: ¡Crucifícale! ¡Crucifícale! 22 Y él les dijo por tercera vez: ¿Por qué? ¿Qué mal ha hecho este? No he hallado en Él ningún delito digno de muerte; por tanto, le castigaré y le soltaré(S). 23 Pero ellos insistían, pidiendo a grandes voces que fuera crucificado. Y sus voces comenzaron a predominar. 24 Entonces Pilato decidió[l] que se les concediera su demanda. 25 Y soltó al que ellos pedían, al que había sido echado en la cárcel por sedición y homicidio, pero a Jesús lo entregó a la voluntad de ellos.

Jesús se dirige al Calvario

26 (T)Cuando le llevaban, tomaron a un cierto Simón de Cirene que venía del campo y le pusieron la cruz encima para que la llevara detrás de Jesús(U).

27 Y le seguía una gran multitud del pueblo y de mujeres que lloraban[m] y se lamentaban(V) por Él. 28 Pero Jesús, volviéndose a ellas, dijo: Hijas de Jerusalén, no lloréis por mí; llorad más bien por vosotras mismas y por vuestros hijos. 29 Porque he aquí, vienen días en que dirán: «Dichosas[n] las estériles, y los vientres que nunca concibieron, y los senos que nunca criaron(W)». 30 Entonces comenzarán a decir a los montes: «Caed sobre nosotros»; y a los collados: «Cubridnos(X)». 31 Porque si en el árbol verde hacen esto, ¿qué sucederá en el seco?

32 Y llevaban también a otros dos, que eran malhechores, para ser muertos con Él(Y).

La crucifixión

33 (Z)Cuando llegaron al lugar llamado «La Calavera[o]», crucificaron allí a Jesús[p] y a los malhechores, uno a la derecha y otro a la izquierda. 34 Y Jesús decía: Padre(AA), perdónalos, porque no saben lo que hacen[q]. Y echaron suertes, repartiéndose entre sí sus vestidos(AB). 35 Y el pueblo estaba allí mirando; y aun los gobernantes(AC) se mofaban de Él, diciendo: A otros salvó; que se salve a sí mismo(AD) si este es el Cristo[r] de Dios, su Escogido. 36 Los soldados también se burlaban de Él, acercándose y ofreciéndole vinagre(AE), 37 y diciendo: Si tú eres el Rey de los judíos, sálvate a ti mismo(AF). 38 Había también una inscripción sobre Él[s], que decía: ESTE ES EL REY DE LOS JUDÍOS(AG).

Los dos malhechores

39 Y uno de los malhechores que estaban colgados allí le lanzaba insultos[t](AH), diciendo: ¿No eres tú el Cristo[u]? ¡Sálvate a ti mismo(AI) y a nosotros! 40 Pero el otro le contestó, y reprendiéndole, dijo: ¿Ni siquiera temes tú a Dios a pesar de que estás bajo la misma condena? 41 Y nosotros a la verdad, justamente, porque recibimos lo que merecemos por nuestros hechos[v]; pero este nada malo ha hecho. 42 Y decía: Jesús, acuérdate de mí cuando vengas en[w] tu reino. 43 Entonces Él le dijo: En verdad te digo: hoy estarás conmigo en el paraíso(AJ).

Muerte de Jesús

44 (AK)Era ya como la hora sexta[x], cuando descendieron[y] tinieblas sobre toda la tierra hasta la hora novena[z](AL) 45 al eclipsarse el sol. El velo del templo se rasgó en dos[aa](AM). 46 Y Jesús, clamando a gran voz, dijo: Padre, en tus manos encomiendo mi espíritu(AN). Y habiendo dicho esto, expiró(AO). 47 Cuando el centurión vio lo que había sucedido(AP), glorificaba a Dios(AQ), diciendo: Ciertamente, este hombre era inocente[ab]. 48 Y cuando todas las multitudes que se habían reunido para presenciar este espectáculo, al observar lo que había acontecido, se volvieron golpeándose el pecho(AR). 49 Pero todos sus conocidos y las mujeres que le habían acompañado desde Galilea, estaban a cierta distancia viendo estas cosas(AS).

Sepultura de Jesús

50 (AT)Y había[ac] un hombre llamado José, miembro del concilio(AU), varón bueno y justo 51 (el cual no había asentido al plan y al proceder de los demás[ad]) que era de Arimatea, ciudad de los judíos, y que esperaba el reino de Dios(AV). 52 Este fue a Pilato y le pidió el cuerpo de Jesús, 53 y bajándole, le envolvió en un lienzo de lino, y le puso en un sepulcro excavado en la roca donde nadie había sido puesto todavía. 54 Era el día de la preparación(AW), y estaba para comenzar[ae] el día de reposo. 55 Y las mujeres que habían venido con Él desde Galilea(AX) siguieron detrás, y vieron el sepulcro y cómo fue colocado el[af] cuerpo. 56 Y cuando regresaron, prepararon especias aromáticas y perfumes(AY).

Y en el día de reposo descansaron según el mandamiento(AZ).

Luke 23
New King James Version

Jesus Handed Over to Pontius Pilate(A)

23 Then (B)the whole multitude of them arose and led Him to (C)Pilate. 2 And they began to (D)accuse Him, saying, “We found this fellow (E)perverting [a]the nation, and (F)forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying (G)that He Himself is Christ, a King.”

3 (H)Then Pilate asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

He answered him and said, “It is as you say.”

4 So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, (I)“I find no fault in this Man.”

5 But they were the more fierce, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from (J)Galilee to this place.”

Jesus Faces Herod

6 When Pilate heard [b]of Galilee, he asked if the Man were a Galilean. 7 And as soon as he knew that He belonged to (K)Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time. 8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, (L)he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see Him, because (M)he had heard many things about Him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by Him. 9 Then he questioned Him with many words, but He answered him (N)nothing. 10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused Him. 11 (O)Then Herod, with his [c]men of war, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate. 12 That very day (P)Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for previously they had been at enmity with each other.

Taking the Place of Barabbas(Q)

13 (R)Then Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people, 14 said to them, (S)“You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, (T)having examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him; 15 no, neither did Herod, for [d]I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing deserving of death has been done by Him. 16 (U)I will therefore chastise Him and release Him” 17 (V)(for[e] it was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast).

18 And (W)they all cried out at once, saying, “Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas”— 19 who had been thrown into prison for a certain rebellion made in the city, and for murder.

20 Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them. 21 But they shouted, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!”

22 Then he said to them the third time, “Why, what evil has He done? I have found no reason for death in Him. I will therefore chastise Him and let Him go.”

23 But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men [f]and of the chief priests prevailed. 24 So (X)Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested. 25 (Y)And he released [g]to them the one they requested, who for rebellion and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

The King on a Cross(Z)

26 (AA)Now as they led Him away, they laid hold of a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross that he might bear it after Jesus.

27 And a great multitude of the people followed Him, and women who also mourned and lamented Him. 28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 (AB)For indeed the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts which never nursed!’ 30 Then they will begin (AC)‘to say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!” ’ 31 (AD)For if they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry?”

32 (AE)There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death. 33 And (AF)when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left. 34 [h]Then Jesus said, “Father, (AG)forgive them, for (AH)they do not know what they do.”

And (AI)they divided His garments and cast lots. 35 And (AJ)the people stood looking on. But even the (AK)rulers with them sneered, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God.”

36 The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him (AL)sour wine, 37 and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.”

38 (AM)And an inscription also was [i]written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew:

THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39 (AN)Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, [j]“If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”

40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done (AO)nothing wrong.” 42 Then he said [k]to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”

43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in (AP)Paradise.”

Jesus Dies on the Cross(AQ)

44 (AR)Now it [l]was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 45 Then the sun was [m]darkened, and (AS)the veil of the temple was torn in [n]two. 46 And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, (AT)‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’ ” (AU)Having said this, He breathed His last.

47 (AV)So when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous Man!”

48 And the whole crowd who came together to that sight, seeing what had been done, beat their breasts and returned. 49 (AW)But all His acquaintances, and the women who followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb(AX)

50 (AY)Now behold, there was a man named Joseph, a council member, a good and just man. 51 He had not consented to their decision and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, (AZ)who[o] himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God. 52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53 (BA)Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before. 54 That day was (BB)the Preparation, and the Sabbath drew near.

55 And the women (BC)who had come with Him from Galilee followed after, and (BD)they observed the tomb and how His body was laid. 56 Then they returned and (BE)prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath (BF)according to the commandment.

Luke 23
New International Version

23 Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate.(A) 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation.(B) He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar(C) and claims to be Messiah, a king.”(D)

3 So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

“You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4 Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”(E)

5 But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee(F) and has come all the way here.”

6 On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean.(G) 7 When he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod,(H) who was also in Jerusalem at that time.

8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him.(I) From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some sort. 9 He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer.(J) 10 The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him. 11 Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe,(K) they sent him back to Pilate. 12 That day Herod and Pilate became friends(L)—before this they had been enemies.

13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers and the people, 14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges against him.(M) 15 Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death. 16 Therefore, I will punish him(N) and then release him.” [17] [a]

18 But the whole crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”(O) 19 (Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again. 21 But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”

22 For the third time he spoke to them: “Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore I will have him punished and then release him.”(P)

23 But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed. 24 So Pilate decided to grant their demand. 25 He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for, and surrendered Jesus to their will.

The Crucifixion of Jesus(Q)

26 As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene,(R) who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus.(S) 27 A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed(T) for him. 28 Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.(U) 29 For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’(V) 30 Then

“‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!”
    and to the hills, “Cover us!”’[b](W)

31 For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”(X)

32 Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed.(Y) 33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, “Father,(Z) forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”[c](AA) And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.(AB)

35 The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him.(AC) They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.”(AD)

36 The soldiers also came up and mocked him.(AE) They offered him wine vinegar(AF) 37 and said, “If you are the king of the Jews,(AG) save yourself.”

38 There was a written notice above him, which read: this is the king of the jews.(AH)

39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”(AI)

40 But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”(AJ)

42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.[d]”(AK)

43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”(AL)

The Death of Jesus(AM)

44 It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon,(AN) 45 for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple(AO) was torn in two.(AP) 46 Jesus called out with a loud voice,(AQ) “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”[e](AR) When he had said this, he breathed his last.(AS)

47 The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God(AT) and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.” 48 When all the people who had gathered to witness this sight saw what took place, they beat their breasts(AU) and went away. 49 But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee,(AV) stood at a distance,(AW) watching these things.

The Burial of Jesus(AX)

50 Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man, 51 who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea, and he himself was waiting for the kingdom of God.(AY) 52 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body. 53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid. 54 It was Preparation Day,(AZ) and the Sabbath was about to begin.

55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee(BA) followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. 56 Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes.(BB) But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.(BC)
