1 W hen Jesus had said these things, He went with His followers across the small river Kidron. He and His followers went to a garden there.

Después de decir esto, Jesús salió con Sus discípulos al otro lado del torrente Cedrón, donde había un huerto en el cual entró El con Sus discípulos.

2 J udas, who was handing Him over to the leaders, knew the place also. Jesus and His followers had met there many times.

También Judas, el que Lo iba a entregar (traicionar), conocía el lugar porque Jesús se había reunido allí muchas veces con Sus discípulos.

3 J udas led some soldiers and some men who had been sent by the head religious leaders of the Jews and the proud religious law-keepers to the garden. They carried lamps and sticks that were burning and swords.

Entonces Judas, tomando la tropa Romana, y a varios guardias de los principales sacerdotes y de los Fariseos, fue allá con linternas, antorchas y armas.

4 J esus knew what was going to happen to Him. He went out and asked them, “Who are you looking for?”

Jesús, sabiendo todo lo que Le iba a sobrevenir, salió y les dijo: “¿A quién buscan ?”

5 T he soldiers answered Him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said, “I am Jesus.” Judas, who was handing Him over, was with them also.

“A Jesús el Nazareno,” Le respondieron. El les dijo: “Yo soy.” Y Judas, el que Lo entregaba, estaba con ellos.

6 W hen He said to them, “I am Jesus,” they stepped back and fell to the ground.

Y cuando El les dijo: “Yo soy,” retrocedieron y cayeron a tierra.

7 H e asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” They said again, “Jesus of Nazareth.”

Jesús entonces volvió a preguntarles: “¿A quién buscan ?” “A Jesús el Nazareno,” dijeron.

8 H e said, “I have told you that I am Jesus. If you are looking for Me, let these men go their way.”

Respondió Jesús: “Les he dicho que Yo soy; por tanto, si Me buscan a Mí, dejen ir a éstos.”

9 H e said this so the words He spoke might happen, “I have not lost one of those You gave Me.”

Así se cumplía la palabra que había dicho: “De los que Me diste, no perdí ninguno.”

10 S imon Peter had a sword. He took it and hit a servant who was owned by the head religious leader and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.

Entonces Simón Pedro, que tenía una espada, la sacó e hirió al siervo del sumo sacerdote, y le cortó la oreja derecha. El siervo se llamaba Malco.

11 T hen Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword back where it belongs. Am I not to go through what My Father has given Me to go through?” Jesus Stands in Front of Annas

Jesús le dijo a Pedro: “Mete la espada en la vaina. La copa que el Padre Me ha dado, ¿acaso no he de beberla ?”

12 T hen the soldiers and their captain and the men sent by the Jewish religious leaders took Jesus and tied Him.

Entonces la tropa Romana, el comandante y los guardias de los Judíos prendieron a Jesús, Lo ataron,

13 T hey took Him to Annas first. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas. Caiaphas was the head religious leader that year.

y Lo llevaron primero ante Anás, porque era suegro de Caifás, que era sumo sacerdote ese año.

14 C aiaphas had talked to the Jews. He told them it would be a good thing if one man should die for the people. Peter Lies about Jesus

Caifás era el que había aconsejado a los Judíos que convenía que un hombre muriera por el pueblo. Primera Negación de Pedro

15 S imon Peter and another follower came behind Jesus. This other follower was known to the head religious leader. He went with Jesus to the head religious leader’s house.

Simón Pedro seguía a Jesús, y también otro discípulo. Este discípulo era conocido del sumo sacerdote, y entró con Jesús al patio del sumo sacerdote,

16 P eter stood outside at the gate. The other follower, who was known by the head religious leader, went out and talked to the servant-girl who watched the gate. Then he took Peter inside.

pero Pedro estaba afuera, a la puerta. Así que el otro discípulo, que era conocido del sumo sacerdote, salió y habló a la portera, e hizo entrar a Pedro.

17 T he servant-girl who watched the door said to Peter, “Are you not a follower of this Man?” He said, “I am not!”

Entonces la criada que cuidaba la puerta dijo a Pedro: “¿No eres tú también uno de los discípulos de este hombre?” “No lo soy,” dijo él.

18 T he servants who were owned by someone and the soldiers had made a fire because it was cold. They were getting warm by the fire. Peter was standing with them getting warm. Jesus Stands in Front of Caiaphas

Los siervos y los guardias estaban de pie calentándose junto a unas brasas que habían encendido porque hacía frío. Pedro también estaba con ellos de pie, calentándose. Jesús Ante el Sumo Sacerdote

19 T he head religious leader of the Jews asked Jesus about His followers. He asked Jesus about His teaching.

Entonces el sumo sacerdote interrogó a Jesús acerca de Sus discípulos y de Sus enseñanzas.

20 J esus said, “I have spoken very plain words to the world. I have always taught in the Jewish place of worship and in the house of God. It is where the Jews go all the time. My words have not been said in secret.

Jesús le respondió: “Yo he hablado al mundo públicamente; siempre enseñé en la sinagoga y en el templo, donde se reúnen todos los Judíos, y nada he hablado en secreto.

21 W hy do you ask Me? Ask those who have heard what I said to them. They know what I said.”

¿Por qué Me preguntas a Mí? Pregúntales a los que han oído lo que hablé; éstos saben lo que he dicho.”

22 T hen one of the soldiers standing there hit Jesus with his hand. He said, “Is that how You talk to the head religious leaders?”

Cuando dijo esto, uno de los guardias que estaba cerca, dio una bofetada a Jesús, diciendo: “¿Así respondes al sumo sacerdote?”

23 J esus said, “If I said anything wrong, tell Me what was wrong. If I said what was right, why did you hit Me?”

Jesús le respondió: “Si he hablado mal, da testimonio de lo que he hablado mal; pero si hablé bien, ¿por qué Me pegas ?”

24 T hen Annas sent Jesus to Caiaphas, the head religious leader. Jesus was still tied up.

Anás entonces Lo envió atado a Caifás, el sumo sacerdote. Pedro Niega a Jesús otra Vez

25 S imon Peter was standing there and getting warm. They said to him, “Are you not one of His followers also?” He lied and said he did not know Jesus and answered, “I am not!”

Simón Pedro estaba de pie, calentándose, y le preguntaron: “¿No eres tú también uno de Sus discípulos?” “No lo soy,” dijo Pedro, negándolo.

26 A servant who was owned by the head religious leader was there. He was of the family of the man whose ear Peter cut off. The man said, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?”

Uno de los siervos del sumo sacerdote, que era pariente de aquél a quien Pedro le había cortado la oreja, dijo: “¿No te vi yo en el huerto con El ?”

27 A gain Peter lied and said he did not know Jesus. At once a rooster crowed. Jesus Stands in Front of Pilate

Y Pedro lo negó otra vez, y al instante cantó un gallo. Jesús Ante Pilato

28 T hey led Jesus from Caiaphas into the court room. It was early in the morning. They did not go inside because their Law said if they did they would become dirty with sin. Then they would not be able to eat the religious supper to remember how the Jews left Egypt.

Entonces llevaron a Jesús de casa de Caifás al Pretorio (residencia oficial del gobernador); era muy de mañana; y ellos no entraron al Pretorio para no contaminarse y poder comer la Pascua.

29 S o Pilate came out to them. He asked, “What have you to say against the Man?”

Pilato, pues, salió afuera hacia ellos y dijo: “¿Qué acusación traen contra este hombre?”

30 T he Jews said, “If He had not done wrong, we would not have brought Him to you.”

Ellos respondieron: “Si este hombre no fuera malhechor, no se Lo hubiéramos entregado.”

31 T hen Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves and give Him a trial by your Law.” The Jews said to him, “It is against our Law to put anyone to death.”

Entonces Pilato les dijo: “Se Lo pueden llevar y juzgar conforme a su ley.” “A nosotros no nos es permitido dar muerte a nadie,” le dijeron los Judíos.

32 T his happened as Jesus said it would happen. He had told what kind of death He would die.

Esto sucedió para que se cumpliera la palabra que Jesús había hablado, dando a entender de qué clase de muerte iba a morir. Diálogo entre Jesús y Pilato

33 T hen Pilate went back into the court room. He called for Jesus and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

Pilato volvió a entrar al Pretorio, y llamó a Jesús y Le preguntó: “¿Eres Tú el Rey de los Judíos ?”

34 J esus said, “Do you ask Me this yourself, or did others say this to you about Me?”

Jesús respondió: “¿Esto lo dices por tu cuenta, o porque otros te lo han dicho de Mí?”

35 P ilate said, “Do you think I am a Jew? Your own people and religious leaders have handed You over to me. What have You done?”

Pilato contestó: “¿Acaso soy yo Judío? Tu nación y los principales sacerdotes Te entregaron a mí. ¿Qué has hecho?”

36 J esus said, “My holy nation does not belong to this world. If My holy nation were of this world, My helpers would fight so I would not be handed over to the Jews. My holy nation is not of this world.”

Jesús le respondió: “Mi reino no es de este mundo. Si Mi reino fuera de este mundo, entonces Mis servidores pelearían para que Yo no fuera entregado a los Judíos. Pero ahora Mi reino no es de aquí.”

37 P ilate said to Him, “So You are a King?” Jesus said, “You are right when you say that I am a King. I was born for this reason. I came into the world for this reason. I came to speak about the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” Jesus or Barabbas Is to Go Free

“¿Así que Tú eres rey?”, Le dijo Pilato. “Tú dices que soy rey,” respondió Jesús. “Para esto Yo he nacido y para esto he venido al mundo, para dar testimonio de la verdad. Todo el que es de la verdad escucha Mi voz.”

38 P ilate said to Jesus, “What is truth?” After Pilate said this, he went out again to the Jews. He said, “I do not find Him guilty.

Pilato Le preguntó: “¿Qué es la verdad?” Y habiendo dicho esto, salió otra vez adonde estaban los Judíos y les dijo: “Yo no encuentro ningún delito en El.

39 B ut every year a man who is in prison is allowed to go free at the special religious gathering to remember how the Jews left Egypt. Do you want the King of the Jews to go free?”

Pero es costumbre entre ustedes que les suelte a alguien (un preso) durante la fiesta de la Pascua. ¿Quieren, pues, que les suelte al Rey de los Judíos?”

40 T hen they spoke with loud voices, “Not this Man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.

Entonces volvieron a gritar, diciendo: “No a Este, sino a Barrabás.” Y Barrabás era un ladrón.
