Jesus before Pilate

23 Then the entire assembly of them set out and (A)brought Him before Pilate. 2 (B)And they began to bring charges against Him, saying, “We found this Man (C)misleading our nation and (D)forbidding us to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is [a]Christ, a King.” 3 Now Pilate asked Him, saying, “So You are the King of the Jews?” And He answered him and said, “(E)It is as you say.” 4 But Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “(F)I find no grounds for charges in the case of this Man.” 5 But they kept on insisting, saying, “He is stirring up the people, teaching all over Judea, (G)starting from Galilee, as far as this place!”

6 Now when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the Man was a Galilean. 7 And when he learned that He belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to (H)Herod, [b]since he also was in Jerusalem [c]at this time.

Jesus before Herod

8 Now Herod was overjoyed when he saw Jesus; for (I)he had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had been hearing about Him and was hoping to see some [d]sign performed by Him. 9 And he questioned Him [e]at some length; but (J)He offered him no answer at all. 10 Now the chief priests and the scribes stood there, vehemently charging Him. 11 And Herod, together with his soldiers, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, (K)dressing Him in a brightly shining robe, and sent Him back to Pilate. 12 And so (L)Herod and Pilate became friends with one another that very day; for previously, they had been enemies toward each other.

Pilate Seeks Jesus’ Release

13 Now Pilate summoned to himself the chief priests, the [f](M)rulers, and the people, 14 and he said to them, “You brought this Man to me on the ground that (N)He is inciting the people to revolt; and behold, after examining Him before you, I (O)have found no basis at all in the case of this Man for the charges which you are bringing against Him. 15 No, nor has (P)Herod, for he sent Him back to us; and behold, nothing deserving death has been done by Him. 16 Therefore I will [g](Q)punish Him and release Him.” 17 [[h]Now he was obligated to release to them at the feast one prisoner.]

18 But they cried out all together, saying, “(R)Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas!” 19 (He was one who had been thrown into prison for a revolt that took place in the city, and for murder.) 20 But Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them again, 21 but they kept on crying out, saying, “Crucify, crucify Him!” 22 And he said to them a third time, “Why, what has this Man done wrong? I have found [i]in His case no grounds for a sentence of death; therefore I will [j](S)punish Him and release Him.” 23 But they were insistent, with loud voices, demanding that He be crucified. And their voices began to prevail. 24 And so Pilate decided to have their demand carried out. 25 And he released the man for whom they were asking, who had been thrown into prison for a revolt and murder; but he handed Jesus over to their will.

Simon Carries the Cross

26 (T)And when they led Him away, they seized a man, Simon of (U)Cyrene, as he was coming in from the country, and placed on him the cross to carry behind Jesus.

27 Now following Him was a large crowd of the people, and of women who were [k](V)mourning and grieving for Him. 28 But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, stop weeping for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For behold, days are coming when they will say, ‘(W)Blessed are those who cannot bear, and the wombs that have not given birth, and the breasts that have not nursed.’ 30 Then they will begin to (X)say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ 31 For if they do these things [l]when the tree is green, what will happen [m]when it is dry?”

32 (Y)Now two others, who were criminals, were also being led away to be put to death with Him.

The Crucifixion

33 (Z)And when they came to the place called [n]The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left. 34 [[o]But Jesus was saying, “(AA)Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.”] (AB)And they cast lots, dividing His garments among themselves. 35 And the people stood by, watching. And even the (AC)rulers were sneering at Him, saying, “He saved others; (AD)let Him save Himself if this is the [p]Christ of God, His Chosen One.” 36 The soldiers also ridiculed Him, coming up to Him, (AE)offering Him sour wine, 37 and saying, “(AF)If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!” 38 Now there was also an inscription above Him, “(AG)THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

39 (AH)One of the criminals who were hanged there was [q]hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the [r]Christ? (AI)Save Yourself and us!” 40 But the other responded, and rebuking him, said, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41 And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving [s]what we deserve for our crimes; but this Man has done nothing wrong.” 42 And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!” 43 And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in (AJ)Paradise.”

44 (AK)It was now about [t](AL)the sixth hour, and darkness came over the entire land until [u]the ninth hour, 45 [v]because the sun stopped shining; and (AM)the veil of the temple was torn [w]in two. 46 And Jesus, (AN)crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, (AO)into Your hands I entrust My spirit.” And having said this, He [x]died. 47 (AP)Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began (AQ)praising God, saying, “This Man was in fact [y]innocent.” 48 And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, after watching what had happened, began to return home, [z](AR)beating their chests. 49 (AS)And all His acquaintances and (AT)the women who accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, seeing these things.

Jesus Is Buried

50 (AU)And a man named Joseph, who was a (AV)member of the Council, a good and righteous man 51 (he had not consented to their plan and action), a man from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was (AW)waiting for the kingdom of God— 52 this man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53 And he took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever lain. 54 It was a [aa](AX)preparation day, and a Sabbath was about to [ab]begin. 55 Now (AY)the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was laid. 56 And then they returned and (AZ)prepared spices and perfumes.

And (BA)on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

Lucas 23
Palabra de Dios para Todos

Pilato interroga a Jesús

(Mt 27:1-2, 11-14; Mr 15:1-5; Jn 18:28-38)

23 Entonces todo el grupo se levantó y llevaron a Jesús ante Pilato. 2 Empezaron a acusar a Jesús, diciendo:

—Arrestamos a este hombre porque está inquietando a nuestro pueblo. Él dice que no se deben pagar impuestos al emperador y que él es el Mesías, un rey.

3 Pilato le preguntó a Jesús:

—¿Eres el rey de los judíos?

Y él le respondió:

—Tú lo has dicho.

4 Entonces Pilato les dijo a los jefes de los sacerdotes y a la gente:

—No encuentro ningún delito en este hombre.

5 Pero ellos insistían:

—Alborota al pueblo con sus enseñanzas por toda Judea. Comenzó en Galilea y ha llegado hasta aquí.

Pilato envía a Jesús a ver a Herodes

6 Cuando Pilato escuchó esto, preguntó si era de Galilea. 7 Al enterarse de que Jesús estaba bajo la autoridad de Herodes, se lo mandó a él, pues en esos días Herodes también estaba en Jerusalén.

8 Cuando Herodes vio a Jesús, se puso muy contento porque había oído mucho de él y quería conocerlo desde hacía mucho tiempo. Esperaba verlo hacer algún milagro. 9 Herodes le hizo muchas preguntas, pero Jesús no le respondió ninguna. 10 Los jefes de los sacerdotes y los maestros de la ley estaban allí, acusándolo con insistencia. 11 Herodes y sus soldados lo trataban con desprecio. Burlándose de él, le pusieron ropa lujosa y lo enviaron de nuevo a Pilato. 12 Antes Herodes y Pilato habían sido enemigos, pero desde ese día se hicieron amigos.

Jesús condenado a muerte

(Mt 27:15-26; Mr 15:6-15; Jn 18:39-19:16)

13 Pilato llamó a los jefes de los sacerdotes, a los líderes y al pueblo, 14 y les dijo:

—Ustedes me trajeron a este hombre de quien dicen estaba inquietando al pueblo, pero lo juzgué delante de todos ustedes y no lo encontré culpable de ninguno de los delitos de que lo acusan. 15 Ni tampoco Herodes porque nos lo envió de vuelta. Miren, no ha hecho nada que merezca la muerte. 16 Entonces, después de azotarlo un poco, lo dejaré ir. 17 [a]

18 Pero todos ellos gritaron a una voz:

—¡Mátenlo! ¡Dejen libre a Barrabás!

19 Barrabás estaba en la cárcel por haber empezado una revuelta en la ciudad y por asesinato. 20 Pilato quería dejar en libertad a Jesús, así que les dijo otra vez que lo iba a dejar ir. 21 Pero ellos siguieron gritando:

—¡Crucifícalo! ¡Crucifícalo!

22 Por tercera vez Pilato le dijo a la gente:

—¿Por qué? ¿Qué ha hecho de malo este hombre? Él no es culpable. No encuentro ninguna razón para matarlo; por eso lo soltaré después de azotarlo.

23 Pero ellos seguían gritando. Todos exigían que lo crucificaran. Tanto gritaron que 24 Pilato decidió hacer lo que pedían. 25 Pilato dejó libre a Barrabás, el hombre que había sido puesto en la cárcel por rebelión y asesinato, y les entregó a Jesús para que hicieran con él lo que quisieran.

Crucifixión de Jesús

(Mt 27:32-44; Mr 15:21-32; Jn 19:17-27)

26 Cuando los soldados se llevaban a Jesús, agarraron a un tal Simón, de la ciudad de Cirene, que venía del campo, lo obligaron a cargar la cruz y a llevarla detrás de Jesús. 27 Mucha gente seguía a Jesús, incluso algunas mujeres, las cuales lloraban y se lamentaban por él. 28 Jesús se dio vuelta y les dijo:

—Mujeres de Jerusalén, no lloren por mí. Más bien lloren por ustedes y por sus hijos. 29 Está llegando la hora terrible en que la gente dirá: “Afortunadas las mujeres que no pueden tener hijos, que nunca los han tenido ni han amamantado”. 30 (A)Entonces dirán a las montañas: “¡Caigan sobre nosotros!”, y a los cerros les dirán: “¡Cúbrannos!”[b] 31 Si le hacen esto al árbol vivo, ¿qué no le harán al seco?[c]

32 También llevaron a dos criminales para que los ejecutaran junto con Jesús. 33 Llegaron al lugar llamado «La Calavera», donde los soldados crucificaron a Jesús y también a los criminales, uno a su derecha y otro a su izquierda.

34 Jesús decía: «Padre, perdónalos porque no saben lo que hacen».[d]

Los soldados rifaron entre ellos la ropa de Jesús. 35 La gente estaba allí mirando, y los líderes se burlaban de él, diciendo:

—Si él es el elegido de Dios, el Mesías, entonces que se salve a sí mismo. Salvó a otros, ¿no?

36 Los soldados vinieron y también se burlaron de él. Le ofrecieron vinagre 37 y dijeron:

—Si eres el rey de los judíos, ¡sálvate a ti mismo!

38 En la parte de arriba de la cruz estaba escrito: «Este es el Rey de los judíos». 39 Uno de los criminales también empezó a insultarlo:

—¿No eres el Mesías? ¡Entonces sálvate a ti mismo y a nosotros también!

40 Pero el otro criminal lo reprendió y le dijo:

—¿Es que no tienes temor de Dios? ¿Acaso no estás bajo la misma sentencia? 41 Tú y yo merecemos morir por lo que hicimos, pero este hombre no ha hecho nada malo.

42 Luego le dijo:

—Jesús, acuérdate de mí cuando comiences a reinar.

43 Entonces Jesús le dijo:

—Te aseguro que hoy estarás conmigo en el paraíso.

Muerte de Jesús

(Mt 27:45-56; Mr 15:33-41; Jn 19:28-30)

44 Era alrededor del mediodía, y toda la tierra quedó sumida en oscuridad hasta las tres de la tarde. 45 El sol dejó de brillar y la cortina del templo se rompió en dos. 46 (B)Y dando un fuerte grito Jesús dijo:

—¡Padre, te entrego mi espíritu![e]

Después de decir esto, murió. 47 Cuando el capitán vio lo que había pasado, alabó a Dios diciendo:

—Este hombre sí era inocente.

48 Mucha gente había salido de la ciudad para ver esto. Cuando vieron lo que había pasado, se fueron abrumados de dolor. 49 Los amigos de Jesús también estaban allí, incluso las mujeres que lo habían seguido desde Galilea. Todos ellos presenciaban de lejos lo que pasaba.

Jesús es sepultado

(Mt 27:57-61; Mr 15:42-47; Jn 19:38-42)

50 Estaba allí un hombre llamado José, miembro del Consejo. Era un hombre de buen corazón que obedecía a Dios 51 y no había estado de acuerdo con lo que habían decidido ni con las medidas que tomaron. Era del pueblo de Arimatea en Judea, y quería que viniera el reino de Dios. 52 Fue a Pilato y le pidió el cuerpo de Jesús. 53 Bajó el cuerpo de la cruz y lo envolvió en una sábana. Después lo llevó y lo puso en un sepulcro cavado en la roca, donde todavía no se había enterrado a nadie. 54 Era el día de la preparación para el sábado y el día de descanso estaba a punto de comenzar.

55 Las mujeres que habían venido con Jesús desde Galilea siguieron a José. Vieron el sepulcro y cómo pusieron el cuerpo adentro. 56 Después se regresaron para preparar especias aromáticas y aceites perfumados, y no hicieron ningún trabajo en el día de descanso, conforme al mandamiento.

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)
