1 M uy de mañana, los principales sacerdotes prepararon enseguida una reunión con los ancianos, los escribas y todo el Concilio (Sanedrín); y atando a Jesús, Lo llevaron y Lo entregaron a Pilato.

And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and delivered to Pilate;

2 “ ¿Eres Tú el Rey de los Judíos?” le preguntó Pilato. “Tú lo dices,” respondió Jesús

and Pilate questioned him, `Art thou the king of the Jews?' and he answering said to him, `Thou dost say.'

3 Y los principales sacerdotes Lo acusaban de muchas cosas.

And the chief priests were accusing him of many things,

4 D e nuevo Pilato Le preguntó: “¿No respondes nada? Mira de cuántas cosas Te acusan.”

And Pilate again questioned him, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against thee!'

5 P ero Jesús no respondió nada más; de modo que Pilato estaba asombrado. Jesús o Barrabás

and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate wondered.

6 A hora bien, en cada fiesta Pilato acostumbraba soltarles un preso, el que ellos pidieran.

And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;

7 Y uno llamado Barrabás había sido encarcelado con los rebeldes que habían cometido homicidio en la insurrección.

and there was named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.

8 C uando la multitud subió, comenzó a pedirle a Pilato que hiciera como siempre les había hecho.

And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,

9 E ntonces Pilato les preguntó: “¿Quieren que les suelte al Rey de los Judíos?”

and Pilate answered them, saying, `Will ye I shall release to you the king of the Jews?'

10 P orque sabía que los principales sacerdotes Lo habían entregado por envidia.

for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up;

11 P ero los principales sacerdotes provocaron a la multitud para que le pidiera que en vez de Jesús les soltara a Barrabás.

and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.

12 P ilato les preguntó: “¿Qué haré, entonces, con el que ustedes llaman el Rey de los Judíos?”

And Pilate answering, again said to them, `What, then, will ye I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?'

13 E llos le respondieron a gritos: “¡Crucifícalo!”

and they again cried out, `Crucify him.'

14 Y Pilato les decía: “¿Por qué? ¿Qué mal ha hecho?” Y ellos gritaban aún más: “¡Crucifícalo!”

And Pilate said to them, `Why -- what evil did he?' and they cried out the more vehemently, `Crucify him;'

15 P ilato, queriendo complacer a la multitud, les soltó a Barrabás; y después de hacer azotar a Jesús, Lo entregó para que fuera crucificado. Los Soldados se Burlan de Jesús

and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus -- having scourged -- that he might be crucified.

16 E ntonces los soldados llevaron a Jesús dentro del palacio, es decir, al Pretorio, y convocaron a toda la tropa Romana.

And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is Praetorium, and call together the whole band,

17 L o vistieron de púrpura, y después de tejer una corona de espinas, se la pusieron;

and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of thorns, they put on him,

18 y comenzaron a gritar: “¡Salve, Rey de los Judíos!”

and began to salute him, `Hail, King of the Jews.'

19 L e golpeaban la cabeza con una caña y Le escupían, y poniéndose de rodillas, Le hacían reverencias.

And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,

20 D espués de haberse burlado de Jesús, Le quitaron el manto de púrpura, Le pusieron Sus ropas y Lo sacaron para que fuera crucificado.

and when they mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.

21 Y obligaron a uno que pasaba y que venía del campo, Simón de Cirene, padre de Alejandro y Rufo, a que llevara la cruz de Jesús. La Crucifixión

And they impress a certain one passing by -- Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus -- that he may bear his cross,

22 L o llevaron al lugar llamado Gólgota, que traducido significa Lugar de la Calavera.

24 C uando Lo crucificaron, se repartieron Sus vestidos, echando suertes sobre ellos para decidir lo que cada uno tomaría.

And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;

and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, `And with lawless ones he was numbered.'

29 L os que pasaban Lo injuriaban, meneando la cabeza y diciendo: “¡Bah! Tú que destruyes el templo y en tres días lo reedificas,

And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, `Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!

30 ¡ sálvate a Ti mismo descendiendo de la cruz!”

save thyself, and come down from the cross!'

31 D e igual manera, también los principales sacerdotes junto con los escribas, burlándose de El entre ellos, decían: “A otros salvó, El mismo no se puede salvar.

And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save.

32 Q ue este Cristo, el Rey de Israel, descienda ahora de la cruz, para que veamos y creamos.” Y los que estaban crucificados con El también Lo insultaban. Muerte de Jesús

The Christ! the king of Israel -- let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those crucified with him were reproaching him.

33 C uando llegó la hora sexta (mediodía), hubo oscuridad sobre toda la tierra hasta la hora novena (3 p. m.).

And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour,

34 Y a la hora novena (3 p. m.) Jesús exclamó con fuerte voz: “ Eloi, Eloi, ¿lema sabactani ?” que traducido significa, “ Dios mio, Dios mio, ¿por que Me has abandonado ?”

and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, `Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?' which is, being interpreted, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?'

35 A lgunos de los que estaban allí, al oír lo, decían: “Miren, está llamando a Elías.”

And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, `Lo, Elijah he doth call;'

36 E ntonces uno corrió y empapó una esponja en vinagre, y poniéndola en una caña, dio a Jesús a beber, diciendo: “Dejen, veamos si Elías Lo viene a bajar.”

and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to take him down.'

And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,
