Jesús y Pilato

15 Al amanecer, los sacerdotes principales, los líderes del país y los maestros de la Ley se reunieron con los miembros de la Junta Suprema. Terminada la reunión, ataron a Jesús, lo sacaron del palacio de Caifás y lo entregaron a Poncio Pilato, el gobernador romano.

Pilato le preguntó a Jesús:

—¿Eres en verdad el rey de los judíos?

Jesús respondió:

—Tú lo dices.

Los sacerdotes principales presentaban muchas acusaciones contra Jesús. Por eso, Pilato volvió a preguntarle:

—Mira, te acusan de muchas cosas. ¿No vas a defenderte?

Y como Jesús no le respondía, el gobernador se quedó asombrado.

¡Que lo claven en una cruz!

Durante la fiesta de la Pascua, Pilato tenía la costumbre de poner en libertad a alguno de los presos, el que el pueblo quisiera. En ese tiempo estaba encarcelado un bandido muy famoso, que se llamaba Barrabás. Junto con otros había matado a alguien durante un gran pleito que se armó en contra del gobierno de Roma.

La gente fue a ver a Pilato y empezó a pedirle que dejara libre a un prisionero, como era su costumbre. 9-10 Y como Pilato sabía que los sacerdotes principales habían entregado a Jesús sólo por envidia, le preguntó a la gente:

—¿Quieren que deje libre al rey de los judíos?

11 Pero los sacerdotes principales alborotaron a la gente para que pidiera la liberación de Barrabás.

12 Pilato volvió a preguntar:

—¿Y qué quieren que haga con el hombre que ustedes llaman “el rey de los judíos”?

13 —¡Clávalo en una cruz! —contestaron a coro.

14 Pilato les preguntó:

—Díganme, ¿qué mal ha hecho este hombre?

Pero la multitud gritó con más fuerza:

—¡Clávalo en una cruz!

15 Pilato quería quedar bien con la gente, así que dejó en libertad a Barrabás. Luego ordenó que azotaran a Jesús con un látigo y que lo clavaran en una cruz.

Todos se burlan de Jesús

16 Los soldados romanos llevaron a Jesús al patio del cuartel y llamaron al resto de la tropa. 17 Luego le pusieron a Jesús un manto de color rojo oscuro,[a] y le colocaron en la cabeza una corona hecha con ramas de espinos. 18 Entonces comenzaron a burlarse de él, y gritaban: «¡Viva el rey de los judíos!»

19 Lo golpeaban en la cabeza con una vara y lo escupían, y arrodillándose delante de él le hacían reverencias. 20 Cuando se cansaron de burlarse de él, le quitaron el manto rojo y le pusieron su propia ropa. Después se lo llevaron para clavarlo en la cruz.

21 Los soldados salieron con Jesús, y en el camino encontraron a un hombre llamado Simón, que era del pueblo de Cirene. Simón era padre de Alejandro y de Rufo; regresaba del campo y los soldados lo obligaron a cargar la cruz de Jesús.

22 Así llevaron a Jesús a un lugar llamado Gólgota, que quiere decir «La Calavera». 23 Allí le ofrecieron vino mezclado con mirra, para calmar sus dolores; pero Jesús no quiso beberlo.

24-28 Eran las nueve de la mañana cuando los soldados romanos clavaron a Jesús en la cruz. Luego hicieron un sorteo para ver quién de ellos se quedaría con su ropa. Además, colocaron un letrero para explicar por qué lo habían clavado en la cruz. El letrero decía: «El Rey de los judíos».

Junto a Jesús clavaron a dos bandidos, uno a su derecha y el otro a su izquierda. 29 La gente que pasaba por allí insultaba a Jesús y se burlaba de él, haciéndole muecas y diciéndole: «¡Hey! Tú dijiste que podías destruir el templo y construirlo de nuevo en tres días. 30 ¡Si tienes tanto poder, sálvate a ti mismo! ¡Baja de la cruz!»

31 También los sacerdotes principales y los maestros de la Ley se burlaban de él, y se decían entre sí: «Salvó a otros, pero no puede salvarse a sí mismo. 32 Dice que es el Mesías, el rey de Israel. ¡Pues que baje de la cruz y creeremos en él!»

Y también insultaban a Jesús los bandidos que habían sido clavados a su lado.

Jesús muere

33 Desde el mediodía hasta las tres de la tarde, el cielo se puso oscuro. 34 A esa hora, Jesús gritó con mucha fuerza: «Eloí, Eloí, ¿lemá sabactani?» Eso quiere decir: «¡Dios mío, Dios mío! ¿Por qué me has abandonado?»

35 Algunos de los que estaban allí lo oyeron, y dijeron: «Oigan, está llamando al profeta Elías.»

36 Uno de ellos consiguió una esponja, la empapó con vinagre, la ató al extremo de un palo largo, y se la acercó a Jesús para que bebiera. Entonces dijo: «Vamos a ver si Elías viene a bajarlo de la cruz.»

37 Jesús lanzó un fuerte grito y murió. 38 En aquel momento, la cortina del templo se partió en dos pedazos de arriba abajo.

39 El oficial romano que estaba frente a Jesús lo vio morir, y dijo:

—En verdad este hombre era el Hijo de Dios.

40 Había allí muchas mujeres que miraban desde lejos. Entre ellas estaban María Magdalena, Salomé y María, la madre de José y de Santiago el menor. 41 Ellas habían seguido y ayudado a Jesús en Galilea. Además, estaban allí muchas otras mujeres que habían acompañado a Jesús en su viaje a Jerusalén.

El entierro de Jesús

42 Ya era viernes por la tarde,[b] y los judíos se estaban preparando para las celebraciones especiales del día sábado. 43 Un hombre llamado José, del pueblo de Arimatea, no tuvo miedo de pedirle a Pilato el cuerpo de Jesús. José era un miembro muy importante de la Junta Suprema. Además, él oraba para que el reinado de Dios empezara pronto.

44 Pilato se sorprendió mucho al oír que Jesús ya había muerto. Por eso, llamó al oficial romano para ver si era cierto, y para averiguar cuándo había sucedido. 45 Cuando el oficial regresó con el informe, Pilato dio permiso para que le entregaran a José el cuerpo de Jesús.

46 José compró entonces una sábana de tela muy fina y cara. Bajó a Jesús de la cruz, lo envolvió en la sábana y lo puso en una tumba. Hacía poco tiempo que José la había mandado construir en una gran roca. Luego tapó la entrada de la tumba con una piedra muy grande. 47 Mientras tanto, María Magdalena y María la madre de José, miraban dónde ponían el cuerpo de Jesús.

Jesus Before Pilate(A)

15 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law(B) and the whole Sanhedrin,(C) made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.(D)

“Are you the king of the Jews?”(E) asked Pilate.

“You have said so,” Jesus replied.

The chief priests accused him of many things. So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”

But Jesus still made no reply,(F) and Pilate was amazed.

Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested. A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.

“Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”(G) asked Pilate, 10 knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas(H) instead.

12 “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.

13 “Crucify him!” they shouted.

14 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.

But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”

15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged,(I) and handed him over to be crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus(J)

16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace(K) (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18 And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!”(L) 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out(M) to crucify him.

The Crucifixion of Jesus(N)

21 A certain man from Cyrene,(O) Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus,(P) was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.(Q) 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh,(R) but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots(S) to see what each would get.

25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. 26 The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.(T)

27 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. [28] [a] 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(U) and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(V) 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!” 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him(W) among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah,(X) this king of Israel,(Y) come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

The Death of Jesus(Z)

33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.(AA) 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[b](AB)

35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”

36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar,(AC) put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.

37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.(AD)

38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.(AE) 39 And when the centurion,(AF) who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,[c] he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”(AG)

40 Some women were watching from a distance.(AH) Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph,[d] and Salome.(AI) 41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.(AJ)

The Burial of Jesus(AK)

42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath).(AL) So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council,(AM) who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God,(AN) went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 45 When he learned from the centurion(AO) that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.(AP) 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph(AQ) saw where he was laid.

Si Jesus sa Harapan ni Pilato(A)

15 Pagsapit ng umaga'y nagsabwatan ang mga punong pari kasama ang matatanda ng bayan, mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan at ang buong Sanhedrin. Iginapos nila si Jesus, inilabas at ibinigay kay Pilato. Tinanong siya ni Pilato, “Ikaw ba ang Hari ng mga Judio?” Sumagot si Jesus, “Ikaw ang may sabi niyan.” Naghanap ng maraming paratang ang mga punong pari laban kay Jesus. Muli siyang tinanong ni Pilato, “Wala ka bang isasagot? Tingnan mo ang dami nilang paratang laban sa iyo.” Ngunit wala nang anumang sinabi pa si Jesus, kaya nagtaka si Pilato.

Hinatulang Mamatay si Jesus(B)

Tuwing Pista ay kaugalian na magpalaya ng isang bilanggo, na hihilingin ng taong-bayan. Noon ay may isang bilanggo na ang pangalan ay Barabas. Kasama siya sa mga nakulong dahil sa pagpatay noong panahon ng pag-aaklas. Lumapit ang mga tao kay Pilato at nagsimulang humiling na gawin para sa kanila ang kanyang dating ginagawa. Tinanong sila ni Pilato, “Ibig ba ninyong palayain ko sa inyo ang Hari ng mga Judio?” 10 Alam ni Pilato na inggit lamang ang nagtulak sa mga punong pari kung bakit isinasakdal nila si Jesus. 11 Ngunit sinulsulan ng mga punong pari ang taong-bayan na si Barabas na lamang ang palayain para sa kanila. 12 Muling nagtanong si Pilato, “Ano ngayon ang gusto ninyong gawin ko sa tinatawag ninyong Hari ng mga Judio?” 13 Sumigaw ang mga tao, “Ipako siya sa krus!” 14 Ngunit patuloy silang tinanong ni Pilato, “Ano ba'ng ginawa niyang masama?” Subalit lalong lumakas ang kanilang sigaw, “Ipako siya sa krus!” 15 Sa pagnanais ni Pilato na pagbigyan ang taong-bayan, ibinigay sa kanila si Barabas at ibinigay si Jesus upang ipahagupit at ipako sa krus.

Nilibak si Jesus ng mga Kawal(C)

16 Dinala si Jesus ng mga kawal sa bulwagan na tinatawag na Pretorio. Tinipon nila doon ang buong batalyon ng mga kawal. 17 Sinuutan nila si Jesus ng balabal na kulay-ube. Pagkatapos, gumawa sila ng koronang tinik at ipinutong nila ito sa kanya. 18 At binati siya ng ganito, “Mabuhay ang Hari ng mga Judio!” 19 Paulit-ulit siyang pinalo sa ulo ng isang tungkod, pinagduduraan, at sila'y nagsiluhod at sumamba sa kanyang harapan. 20 Matapos siyang kutyain, hinubad nila ang kanyang balabal na kulay-ube at isinuot sa kanya ang kanyang sariling damit, at siya'y inilabas upang ipako sa krus.

Ipinako si Jesus sa Krus(D)

21 Naglalakad (E) noon galing sa bukid si Simon na taga-Cirene, ama ni Alejandro at ni Rufo. Pinilit nila itong pasanin ang krus ni Jesus. 22 Dinala nila si Jesus sa lugar na tinatawag na Golgotha, na ibig sabihin ay "Pook ng Bungo." 23 Binigyan nila siya ng alak na hinaluan ng mira, ngunit hindi niya ito tinanggap. 24 At (F) siya'y kanilang ipinako sa krus, pinaghati-hatian ang kanyang mga damit at nagpalabunutan kung kanino ito mapupunta. 25 Ikasiyam ng umaga[a] nang siya'y ipako sa krus. 26 Nakasulat sa taas nito ang sakdal laban sa kanya: “Ang Hari ng mga Judio.” 27 Dalawang tulisan ang kasama niyang ipinako sa krus, isa sa gawing kanan, at isa sa kanyang kaliwa. 28 [At (G) natupad ang sinasabi ng kasulatan: Siya'y ibinilang sa mga salarin.][b] 29 Hinamak (H) siya ng mga nagdaraan, at umiiling na sinasabi, “Ah! Ikaw na gigiba sa templo at magtatayo nito sa loob ng tatlong araw, 30 bumaba ka mula sa krus, at iligtas mo ang iyong sarili!” 31 Kinutya rin siya ng mga punong pari at mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan. Sinabi nila sa isa't isa, “Iniligtas niya ang iba ngunit hindi niya kayang iligtas ang kanyang sarili. 32 Hayaan nating bumaba ngayon mula sa krus ang Cristong Hari ng Israel para makita natin at maniwala tayo sa kanya.” Nilait din siya ng mga kasama niyang nakapako sa krus.

Ang Pagkamatay ni Jesus(I)

33 Nagdilim sa buong lupain mula tanghaling tapat hanggang sa ikatlo ng hapon.[c] 34 (J) Nang ikatlo na ng hapon, sumigaw nang malakas si Jesus, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani?” na ang ibig sabihin ay, “Diyos ko, Diyos ko, bakit mo ako pinabayaan?” 35 Narinig ito ng ilang nakatayo roon at kanilang sinabi, “Pakinggan ninyo, tinatawag niya si Elias.” 36 Tumakbo (K) ang isang naroon at kumuha ng espongha. Binasa niya ito ng maasim na alak, inilagay sa dulo ng isang patpat at inialok kay Jesus. Sabi niya, “Tingnan nga natin kung darating si Elias upang iligtas siya.” 37 Sumigaw nang malakas si Jesus at nalagutan ng hininga. 38 At (L) nahati sa gitna ang tabing ng templo, mula itaas hanggang ibaba. 39 Isang senturyon ang nakatayo malapit sa krus. Nang makita niya kung paano namatay si Jesus, sinabi niya “Tunay na ang taong ito ang Anak ng Diyos.”[d] 40 Naroon (M) din ang ilang kababaihang nagmamasid mula sa malayo. Kabilang sa kanila sina Maria Magdalena, Mariang ina ni Santiago na nakababata at ni Jose, at si Salome. 41 Sila ang mula pa noon sa Galilea ay sumunod na at naglingkod kay Jesus. Naroon din ang iba pang mga kababaihan na kasama niyang pumunta sa Jerusalem.

Ang Paglilibing kay Jesus(N)

42 Dumidilim na noon, araw noon ng Paghahanda, ang araw bago ang Sabbath, 43 naglakas-loob si Jose na taga-Arimatea na pumunta kay Pilato upang hingin ang bangkay ni Jesus. Siya ay isang iginagalang na kagawad at naghihintay rin ng paghahari ng Diyos. 44 Nabigla si Pilato nang marinig na patay na si Jesus. Ipinatawag niya ang senturyon at itinanong kung patay na nga siya. 45 Nang matiyak niya mula sa senturyon na patay na nga si Jesus, pumayag siyang kunin ni Jose ang bangkay. 46 Bumili si Jose[e] ng telang lino at pagkababa sa bangkay ni Jesus, binalot niya ito ng nasabing tela at inilagay sa isang libingang inuka sa bato. Pagkatapos, iginulong ni Jose ang isang malaking bato sa pintuan ng libingan. 47 Nakita ni Maria Magdalena at ni Mariang ina ni Jose kung saan inilibing si Jesus.

Jesus Faces Pilate(A)

15 Immediately, (B)in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council; and they bound Jesus, led Him away, and (C)delivered Him to Pilate. (D)Then Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

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

And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He (E)answered nothing. (F)Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, “Do You answer nothing? See how many things [a]they testify against You!” (G)But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled.

Taking the Place of Barabbas(H)

Now (I)at the feast he was accustomed to releasing one prisoner to them, whomever they requested. And there was one named Barabbas, who was chained with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the rebellion. Then the multitude, [b]crying aloud, began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them. But Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” 10 For he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.

11 But (J)the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them. 12 Pilate answered and said to them again, “What then do you want me to do with Him whom you call the (K)King of the Jews?”

13 So they cried out again, “Crucify Him!”

14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why, (L)what evil has He done?”

But they cried out all the more, “Crucify Him!”

15 (M)So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged Him, to be (N)crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus(O)

16 (P)Then the soldiers led Him away into the hall called [c]Praetorium, and they called together the whole garrison. 17 And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head, 18 and began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 Then they (Q)struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshiped Him. 20 And when they had (R)mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.

The King on a Cross(S)

21 (T)Then they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to bear His cross. 22 (U)And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. 23 (V)Then they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it. 24 And when they crucified Him, (W)they divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.

25 Now (X)it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. 26 And (Y)the inscription of His [d]accusation was written above:

THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27 (Z)With Him they also crucified two robbers, one on His right and the other on His left. 28 [e]So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, (AA)“And He was numbered with the transgressors.”

29 And (AB)those who passed by blasphemed Him, (AC)wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! (AD)You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30 save Yourself, and come down from the cross!”

31 Likewise the chief priests also, (AE)mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, “He saved (AF)others; Himself He cannot save. 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and [f]believe.”

Even (AG)those who were crucified with Him reviled Him.

Jesus Dies on the Cross(AH)

33 Now (AI)when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, (AJ)“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard that, said, “Look, He is calling for Elijah!” 36 Then (AK)someone ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, put it on a reed, and (AL)offered it to Him to drink, saying, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down.”

37 (AM)And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.

38 Then (AN)the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 So (AO)when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that [g]He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, “Truly this Man was the Son of God!”

40 (AP)There were also women looking on (AQ)from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome, 41 who also (AR)followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb(AS)

42 (AT)Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who (AU)was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time. 45 So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. 46 (AV)Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid.
