Jesús ante Pilato

1 Tan pronto como amaneció, los jefes de los sacerdotes, con los ancianos, los maestros de la ley y el Consejo en pleno, llegaron a una decisión. Ataron a Jesús, se lo llevaron y lo entregaron a Pilato. 2 ―¿Eres tú el rey de los judíos? —le preguntó Pilato. ―Tú mismo lo dices —respondió. 3 Los jefes de los sacerdotes se pusieron a acusarlo de muchas cosas. 4 ―¿No vas a contestar? —le preguntó de nuevo Pilato—. Mira de cuántas cosas te están acusando. 5 Pero Jesús ni aun con eso contestó nada, de modo que Pilato se quedó asombrado. 6 Ahora bien, durante la fiesta él acostumbraba soltarles un preso, el que la gente pidiera. 7 Y resulta que un hombre llamado Barrabás estaba encarcelado con los rebeldes condenados por haber cometido homicidio en una insurrección. 8 Subió la multitud y pidió a Pilato que le concediera lo que acostumbraba. 9 ―¿Queréis que os suelte al rey de los judíos? —replicó Pilato, 10 porque se daba cuenta de que los jefes de los sacerdotes habían entregado a Jesús por envidia. 11 Pero los jefes de los sacerdotes incitaron a la multitud para que Pilato les soltara más bien a Barrabás. 12 ―¿Y qué voy a hacer con el que llamáis el rey de los judíos? —les preguntó Pilato. 13 ―¡Crucifícalo! —gritaron. 14 ―¿Por qué? ¿Qué crimen ha cometido? Pero ellos gritaron aún más fuerte: ―¡Crucifícalo!

Los soldados se burlan de Jesús

15 Como quería satisfacer a la multitud, Pilato les soltó a Barrabás; a Jesús lo mandó azotar, y lo entregó para que lo crucificaran. 16 Los soldados llevaron a Jesús al interior del palacio (es decir, al pretorio) y reunieron a toda la tropa. 17 Le pusieron un manto de color púrpura; luego trenzaron una corona de espinas y se la colocaron. 18 ―¡Salve, rey de los judíos! —lo aclamaban. 19 Lo golpeaban en la cabeza con una caña y le escupían. Doblando la rodilla, le rendían homenaje.

La crucifixión

20 Después de burlarse de él, le quitaron el manto y le pusieron su propia ropa. Por fin, lo sacaron para crucificarlo. 21 A uno que pasaba por allí de vuelta del campo, un tal Simón de Cirene, padre de Alejandro y de Rufo, lo obligaron a llevar la cruz. 22 Condujeron a Jesús al lugar llamado Gólgota (que significa: Lugar de la Calavera). 23 Le ofrecieron vino mezclado con mirra, pero no lo tomó. 24 Y lo crucificaron. Repartieron su ropa, echando suertes para ver qué le tocaría a cada uno. 25 Eran las nueve de la mañana* cuando lo crucificaron. 26 Un letrero tenía escrita la causa de su condena: «El Rey de los judíos». 27 Con él crucificaron a dos bandidos,* uno a su derecha y otro a su izquierda.* 29 Los que pasaban meneaban la cabeza y blasfemaban contra él. ―¡Eh! Tú que destruyes el templo y en tres días lo reconstruyes —decían—, 30 ¡baja de la cruz y sálvate a ti mismo! 31 De la misma manera se burlaban de él los jefes de los sacerdotes junto con los maestros de la ley. ―Salvó a otros —decían—, ¡pero no puede salvarse a sí mismo!

Muerte de Jesús

32 Que baje ahora de la cruz ese Cristo, el rey de Israel, para que veamos y creamos. También lo insultaban los que estaban crucificados con él. 33 Desde el mediodía y hasta la media tarde quedó toda la tierra en oscuridad. 34 A las tres de la tarde,* Jesús gritó con fuerza: ―Eloi, Eloi, ¿lama sabactani? (que significa: “Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has desamparado?”). 35 Cuando lo oyeron, algunos de los que estaban cerca dijeron: ―Escuchad, está llamando a Elías. 36 Un hombre corrió, empapó una esponja en vinagre, la puso en una caña y se la ofreció a Jesús para que bebiera. ―Dejadlo, a ver si viene Elías a bajarlo —dijo. 37 Entonces Jesús, lanzando un fuerte grito, expiró. 38 La cortina del santuario del templo se rasgó en dos, de arriba abajo. 39 Y el centurión, que estaba frente a Jesús, al oír el grito y* ver cómo murió, dijo: ―¡Verdaderamente este hombre era el Hijo* de Dios! 40 Algunas mujeres miraban desde lejos. Entre ellas estaban María Magdalena, María la madre de Jacobo el menor y de José, y Salomé.

Sepultura de Jesús

41 Estas mujeres lo habían seguido y atendido cuando estaba en Galilea. Además había allí muchas otras que habían subido con él a Jerusalén. 42 Era el día de preparación (es decir, la víspera del sábado). Así que al atardecer, 43 José de Arimatea, miembro distinguido del Consejo, y que también esperaba el reino de Dios, se atrevió a presentarse ante Pilato para pedirle el cuerpo de Jesús. 44 Pilato, sorprendido de que ya hubiera muerto, llamó al centurión y le preguntó si hacía mucho que* había muerto. 45 Una vez informado por el centurión, le entregó el cuerpo a José. 46 Entonces José bajó el cuerpo, lo envolvió en una sábana que había comprado y lo puso en un sepulcro cavado en la roca. Luego hizo rodar una piedra a la entrada del sepulcro. 47 María Magdalena y María la madre de José vieron dónde lo pusieron.

Jesus Delivered to Pilate

1 And as soon as it was morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council. And they bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate. 2 And Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” And he answered him, “You have said so.” 3 And the chief priests accused him of many things. 4 And Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you.” 5 But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate was amazed.

Pilate Delivers Jesus to Be Crucified

6 Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked. 7 And among the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barabbas. 8 And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he usually did for them. 9 And he answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?” 10 For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barabbas instead. 12 And Pilate again said to them, “Then what shall I do with the man you call the King of the Jews?” 13 And they cried out again, “Crucify him.” 14 And Pilate said to them, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify him.” 15 So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barabbas, and having scourged* Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

Jesus Is Mocked

16 And the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the governor’s headquarters),* and they called together the whole battalion.* 17 And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on him. 18 And they began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 And they were striking his head with a reed and spitting on him and kneeling down in homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him.

The Crucifixion

21 And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. 22 And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull). 23 And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take. 25 And it was the third hour* when they crucified him. 26 And the inscription of the charge against him read, “The King of the Jews.” 27 And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.* 29 And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, 30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!” 31 So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may see and believe.” Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.

The Death of Jesus

33 And 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 with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 35 And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.” 36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.” 37 And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed his last. 38 And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he* breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son* of God!” 40 There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. 41 When he was in Galilee, they followed him and ministered to him, and there were also many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

Jesus Is Buried

42 And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he should have already died.* And summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead. 45 And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the corpse to Joseph. 46 And Joseph* bought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and laid him in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.
