Llevan a Jesús ante Pilato

(Mr 15:1; Lc 23:1-2; Jn 18:28-32)

27 Por la mañana, todos los jefes de los sacerdotes y los ancianos líderes del pueblo concertaron un plan para dar muerte a Jesús. Lo llevaron atado y se lo entregaron al gobernador Pilato.

Judas se quita la vida

(Hch 1:18-19)

Entonces cuando Judas, el que lo había traicionado, vio que habían condenado a Jesús y sintió pesar por lo que había hecho. Así que les devolvió las 30 monedas de plata a los jefes de los sacerdotes y a los ancianos líderes, y les dijo:

—He pecado al entregar a un hombre inocente para que lo maten.

Ellos dijeron:

—¿Qué nos importa? ¡Ese es tu problema!

Entonces Judas tiró las monedas de plata en el templo, salió de allí y se ahorcó. Los jefes de los sacerdotes tomaron las monedas y dijeron: «Es en contra de la ley recibir este dinero, pues fue usado para matar a alguien».

Así que tomaron una decisión. Con ese dinero compraron el campo del alfarero para usarlo como cementerio para enterrar a los extranjeros que murieran mientras visitaran Jerusalén. Por eso este campo se conoce hasta hoy en día como «Campo de sangre». Así se cumplió lo que había dicho el profeta Jeremías:

«Ellos tomaron 30 monedas de plata. Era la cantidad que el pueblo de Israel había acordado pagar por su vida. 10 Lo usaron para comprar el campo del alfarero, como el Señor me lo había ordenado».[a]

Pilato interroga a Jesús

(Mr 15:2-5; Lc 23:3-5; Jn 18:33-38)

11 Mientras tanto, Jesús se presentó ante el gobernador, y este le preguntó:

—¿Eres tú el rey de los judíos?

Jesús dijo:

—Tú lo has dicho.

12 Pero cuando los jefes de los sacerdotes y los ancianos líderes lo acusaron, no respondió nada. 13 Entonces Pilato le preguntó:

—¿No escuchas todas las acusaciones que están haciendo en tu contra?

14 Pero Jesús no le respondió nada, ni siquiera a una sola acusación. Pilato estaba muy sorprendido.

Jesús condenado a muerte

(Mr 15:6-15; Lc 23:13-25; Jn 18:39-19:16)

15 Ahora bien, era costumbre que durante la fiesta[b], el gobernador dejara libre al preso que pidiera el pueblo. 16 En ese entonces, había un prisionero muy conocido llamado Barrabás[c]. 17 Entonces cuando el pueblo estaba reunido, Pilato les preguntó:

—¿A quién quieren que libere? ¿A Barrabás o a Jesús al que llaman el Mesías?

18 Porque Pilato sabía que habían entregado a Jesús por pura envidia.

19 Cuando Pilato estaba sentado en el tribunal, recibió un mensaje de su esposa que decía: «No le hagas nada a ese hombre inocente. He estado intranquila todo el día porque soñé con él».

20 Pero los jefes de los sacerdotes y los ancianos líderes convencieron a las multitudes para que pidieran a Pilato que pusiera en libertad a Barrabás y ordenara matar a Jesús. 21 El gobernador preguntó:

—¿Cuál de estos dos presos quieren que deje libre?

Ellos contestaron:

—¡A Barrabás!

22 Pilato preguntó otra vez:

—¿Entonces qué debo hacer con Jesús, al que llaman el Mesías?

Todos dijeron:

—¡Crucifícalo!

23 Pilato preguntó:

—¿Por qué? ¿Qué ha hecho de malo?

Pero todos gritaban más fuerte:

—¡Crucifícalo!

24 Pilato se dio cuenta de que no podía hacer nada para cambiar la intención de ellos. Vio que se iba a formar un disturbio, así que agarró un poco de agua y se lavó las manos enfrente de todos y dijo:

—Yo no soy responsable por la muerte de este hombre. Allá ustedes.

25 La gente respondió:

—¡Nosotros y nuestros hijos cargamos con la responsabilidad de su muerte!

26 Entonces Pilato puso en libertad a Barrabás. Luego hizo que le dieran latigazos a Jesús y lo entregó para ser crucificado.

Los soldados se burlan de Jesús

(Mr 15:16-20; Jn 19:2-3)

27 Entonces los soldados del gobernador llevaron a Jesús al palacio. Reunieron a toda la compañía de soldados alrededor de él. 28 Le quitaron la ropa y le pusieron un manto de color morado. 29 Hicieron una corona hecha de espinas, se la colocaron en la cabeza y le pusieron una caña en la mano derecha. Se arrodillaron ante él y se burlaban, diciendo: «¡Viva el rey de los judíos!»

30 Luego le escupieron, tomaron la caña y le pegaron en la cabeza. 31 Cuando acabaron de burlarse de él, le quitaron el manto, le pusieron su ropa y lo sacaron para crucificarlo.

Crucifixión de Jesús

(Mr 15:21-32; Lc 23:26-39; Jn 19:17-19)

32 Al salir encontraron a un hombre de Cirene llamado Simón y lo obligaron a cargar la cruz de Jesús. 33 Llegaron a un sitio llamado «Gólgota» que significa «Lugar de la Calavera». 34 Le dieron a Jesús vino mezclado con hiel[d] para que bebiera, pero después de probarlo no quiso beberlo. 35 Clavaron a Jesús de pies y manos a la cruz y rifaron entre ellos la ropa de Jesús. 36 Luego, se sentaron a vigilarlo. 37 Por encima de su cabeza escribieron un aviso con la razón de su condena: «Este es Jesús, el Rey de los judíos».

38 Ese mismo día dos ladrones fueron crucificados con Jesús, uno a su derecha y otro a su izquierda. 39 La gente que pasaba lo insultaba, meneando la cabeza 40 y diciendo:

—Tú que ibas a destruir el templo y reconstruirlo en tres días, ¡sálvate a ti mismo! Si eres el Hijo de Dios, entonces bájate de esa cruz.

41 También los jefes de los sacerdotes junto con los maestros de la ley y los ancianos líderes se burlaban de él, diciendo:

42 —Salvó a otros, pero no se puede salvar a sí mismo. Si es rey de Israel, que baje de la cruz ahora mismo, y entonces creeremos en él. 43 Como confía en Dios, dejemos que Dios lo rescate si es que lo quiere de verdad. Después de todo, él dijo: “Yo soy el Hijo de Dios”.

44 Los ladrones que estaban crucificados junto a él, también lo insultaban.

Muerte de Jesús

(Mr 15:33-41; Lc 23:44-49; Jn 19:28-30)

45 Desde el mediodía hasta las tres de la tarde, toda la tierra quedó sumida en oscuridad. 46 (A)A eso de las tres, Jesús gritó fuerte: «Elí, Elí, ¿lama sabactani?» que significa: «¡Dios mío, Dios mío! ¿Por qué me has abandonado?»[e]

47 Algunos de los que estaban allí lo oyeron y decían:

—¡Está llamando a Elías![f]

48 Entonces inmediatamente uno de ellos corrió y tomó una esponja. La empapó en vinagre, la puso en un palo y se la ofreció a Jesús para que bebiera. 49 Pero los demás seguían diciendo:

—Déjenlo, vamos a ver si Elías viene a salvarlo.

50 Pero Jesús dio nuevamente un fuerte grito y murió[g]. 51 Al instante, la cortina que estaba dentro del templo se rasgó en dos, de arriba a abajo, y la tierra tembló. Las rocas se partieron, 52 los sepulcros se abrieron y muchos del pueblo de Dios que habían muerto, fueron resucitados. 53 Después de la resurrección de Jesús, dejaron sus sepulcros, fueron a la ciudad santa de Jerusalén y se le aparecieron a mucha gente.

54 El capitán y los que estaban cuidando el cuerpo de Jesús vieron el terremoto y todo lo que pasó, se asustaron mucho y dijeron:

—Este hombre sí era el Hijo de Dios.

55 Muchas mujeres estaban viendo desde lejos. Ellas habían seguido a Jesús desde Galilea para atenderlo. 56 Entre ellas estaban María Magdalena, María la mamá de Santiago y José, y la mamá de los hijos de Zebedeo[h].

Jesús es sepultado

(Mr 15:42-47; Lc 23:50-56; Jn 19:38-42)

57 Al atardecer, un hombre rico llamado José de Arimatea, vino a Jerusalén. Él también se había convertido en seguidor de Jesús. 58 Fue a Pilato y le pidió el cuerpo de Jesús. Pilato ordenó que se lo entregaran. 59 José llevó el cuerpo y lo envolvió en una sábana limpia. 60 Después puso el cuerpo en un sepulcro nuevo que había sido cavado en la roca. Luego corrió una piedra muy grande hasta la entrada del sepulcro y se fue. 61 María Magdalena y la otra María estaban sentadas al frente del sepulcro.

El sepulcro es puesto bajo vigilancia

62 Al día siguiente, después del día de la preparación, los jefes de los sacerdotes y los fariseos se reunieron con Pilato, 63 y le dijeron:

—Señor, le recordamos que en vida ese engañador dijo: “Dentro de tres días voy a resucitar”. 64 Ordene, pues, que vigilen el sepulcro hasta el tercer día para que así sus seguidores no puedan venir y robar el cuerpo. Porque después podrían decirle a la gente: “Él ha resucitado de la muerte”. Este engaño sería peor que el primero.

65 Pilato les dijo:

—Pueden disponer una guardia de soldados. Vayan y aseguren el sepulcro lo mejor que puedan.

66 Entonces se fueron y aseguraron el sepulcro, sellaron la piedra y colocaron guardias.

27 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.

And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;

10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.

16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?

18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.

25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,

34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.

36 And sitting down they watched him there;

37 And set up over his head his accusation written, This Is Jesus The King Of The Jews.

38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.

57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.

65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.

66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

Jesus Delivered to Pilate

27 (A)When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people (B)took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. And they bound him and (C)led him away and (D)delivered him over to (E)Pilate the governor.

Judas Hangs Himself

Then when (F)Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus[a] was condemned, (G)he changed his mind and brought back (H)the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” They said, “What is that to us? (I)See to it yourself.” And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, (J)he departed, and he went and hanged himself. But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, “It is not lawful to put them into (K)the treasury, since it is blood money.” So they took counsel and bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for strangers. Therefore (L)that field has been called the Field of Blood (M)to this day. (N)Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, (O)“And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel, 10 and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me.”

Jesus Before Pilate

11 (P)Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you (Q)the King of the Jews?” Jesus said, (R)“You have said so.” 12 (S)But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he gave no answer. 13 Then Pilate said to him, (T)“Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?” 14 But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed.

The Crowd Chooses Barabbas

15 (U)Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted. 16 And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. 17 So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you: Barabbas, or (V)Jesus who is called Christ?” 18 For he knew that it was out (W)of envy that they had delivered him up. 19 Besides, while he was sitting on (X)the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, “Have nothing to do with (Y)that righteous man, for I have suffered much because of him today (Z)in a dream.” 20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to (AA)ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. 21 The governor again said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas.” 22 Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” (AB)They all said, “Let him be crucified!” 23 And he said, “Why? (AC)What evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Let him be crucified!”

Pilate Delivers Jesus to Be Crucified

24 So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that (AD)a riot was beginning, he took water and (AE)washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of (AF)this man's blood;[b] (AG)see to it yourselves.” 25 And all the people answered, (AH)“His blood be on us and (AI)on our children!” 26 Then he released for them Barabbas, and having (AJ)scourged[c] Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.

Jesus Is Mocked

27 (AK)Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the (AL)governor's headquarters,[d] and they gathered the whole (AM)battalion[e] before him. 28 And they stripped him and put (AN)a scarlet robe on him, 29 and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they (AO)mocked him, saying, “Hail, (AP)King of the Jews!” 30 And (AQ)they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head. 31 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him and (AR)led him away to crucify him.

The Crucifixion

32 (AS)(AT)As they went out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. They compelled this man to (AU)carry his cross. 33 (AV)And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), 34 (AW)they offered him wine to drink, mixed with (AX)gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. 35 And when they had crucified him, (AY)they divided his garments among them by casting lots. 36 Then they sat down and (AZ)kept watch over him there. 37 And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, (BA)the King of the Jews.” 38 Then two (BB)robbers were crucified with him, (BC)one on the right and one on the left. 39 And (BD)those who passed by (BE)derided him, (BF)wagging their heads 40 and saying, (BG)“You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! (BH)If you are (BI)the Son of God, come down from the cross.” 41 So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, 42 (BJ)“He saved others; (BK)he cannot save himself. (BL)He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 43 (BM)He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 (BN)And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.

The Death of Jesus

45 Now from the sixth hour[f] there was darkness over all the land[g] until the ninth hour.[h] 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus (BO)cried out with a loud voice, saying, (BP)“Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 47 And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.” 48 And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with (BQ)sour wine, and put it on a reed and (BR)gave it to him to drink. 49 But the others said, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.” 50 And Jesus (BS)cried out again with a loud voice and (BT)yielded up his spirit.

51 And behold, (BU)the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And (BV)the earth shook, and the rocks were split. 52 The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of (BW)the saints (BX)who had fallen asleep were raised, 53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into (BY)the holy city and appeared to many. 54 (BZ)When the centurion and those who were with him, (CA)keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, (CB)“Truly this was the Son[i] of God!”

55 There were also (CC)many women there, looking on (CD)from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, (CE)ministering to him, 56 among whom were (CF)Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph and (CG)the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

Jesus Is Buried

57 (CH)When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus. 58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. 59 And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud 60 and (CI)laid it in his own new tomb, (CJ)which he had cut in the rock. And he rolled (CK)a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away. 61 Mary Magdalene and (CL)the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.

The Guard at the Tomb

62 The next day, that is, after the day of (CM)Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate 63 and said, “Sir, we remember how (CN)that impostor said, while he was still alive, (CO)‘After three days I will rise.’ 64 Therefore order the tomb to be made secure until the third day, (CP)lest his disciples go and steal him away and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last fraud will be worse than the first.” 65 Pilate said to them, “You have (CQ)a guard[j] of soldiers. Go, make it as secure as you can.” 66 So they went and made the tomb secure by (CR)sealing the stone and setting a guard.
