1 T hen Pilate took Jesus and had Him beaten.

Entonces, Pilato tomó a Jesús y Lo azotó.

2 T he soldiers put a crown of thorns on His head. They put a purple coat on Him.

Y los soldados tejieron una corona de espinas, la pusieron sobre Su cabeza y Lo vistieron con un manto de púrpura;

3 T hen they said, “Hello, King of the Jews!” and hit Him with their hands.

y acercándose a Jesús, Le decían: “¡Salve, Rey de los Judíos!” Y Le daban bofetadas.

4 P ilate went out again and said to the people, “See, I bring Him out to you so you will know I do not find Him guilty.”

Pilato salió otra vez, y les dijo: “Miren, Lo traigo fuera, para que sepan que no encuentro ningún delito en El.”

5 J esus came out. He had on the crown of thorns and a purple coat. Pilate said to the people, “See! This is the Man!” Pilate Tries to Let Jesus Go Free

Y cuando Jesús salió fuera, llevaba la corona de espinas y el manto de púrpura. Y Pilato les dijo: “¡Aquí está el Hombre!”

6 T he religious leaders and the soldiers saw Him. They spoke with loud voices, “Nail Him to a cross! Nail Him to a cross!” Pilate said, “Take Him yourselves and nail Him to a cross. As for me, I do not find Him guilty.”

Cuando Lo vieron los principales sacerdotes y los guardias, gritaron: “¡Crucifícalo! ¡Crucifícalo!” Pilato les dijo: “Ustedes, pues, Lo toman y Lo crucifican, porque yo no encuentro ningún delito en El.”

7 T he Jews said to Pilate, “We have a Law that says He should die because He has said He is the Son of God.”

Los Judíos le respondieron: “Nosotros tenemos una ley, y según esa ley El debe morir, porque pretendió ser el Hijo de Dios.”

8 W hen Pilate heard them say this, he was more afraid.

Entonces Pilato, cuando oyó estas palabras, se atemorizó aún más.

9 H e went into the court room again. He said to Jesus, “Where do You come from?” Jesus did not say a word.

Entró de nuevo al Pretorio (residencia oficial del gobernador) y dijo a Jesús: “¿De dónde eres Tú?” Pero Jesús no le dio respuesta.

10 P ilate said, “Will You not speak to me? Do You not know that I have the right and the power to nail You to a cross? I have the right and the power to let You go free also.”

Pilato entonces Le dijo: “¿A mí no me hablas? ¿No sabes que tengo autoridad para soltarte, y que tengo autoridad para crucificarte?”

11 J esus said, “You would not have any right or power over Me if it were not given you from above. For this reason the one who handed Me over to you has the worse sin.”

Jesús respondió: “Ninguna autoridad tendrías sobre Mí si no se te hubiera dado de arriba; por eso el que Me entregó a ti tiene mayor pecado.”

12 W hen Pilate heard this, he wanted to let Jesus go free. But the Jews kept saying, “If you let this Man go free, you are not a friend of Caesar! Whoever makes himself as a king is working against Caesar.”

Como resultado de esto, Pilato procuraba soltar a Jesús, pero los Judíos gritaron: “Si suelta a Este, usted no es amigo del César; todo el que se hace rey se opone al César.”

13 W hen Pilate heard this, he had Jesus brought in front of him. Pilate sat down at the place where men stand in front of him if they are thought to be guilty. The place is called the Stone Floor.

Entonces Pilato, cuando oyó estas palabras, sacó fuera a Jesús y se sentó en el tribunal, en un lugar llamado el Empedrado, y en Hebreo Gabata.

14 I t was the day to get ready for the special religious gathering to remember how the Jews left Egypt. It was about noon. Pilate said to the Jews, “See, your King!”

Y era el día de la preparación para la Pascua; eran como las seis de la mañana (hora Romana). Y Pilato dijo a los Judíos: “Aquí está su Rey.”

15 T hey spoke with a loud voice, “Take Him away! Nail Him to a cross!” Pilate said to them, “Do you want me to nail your King to a cross?” The head religious leaders said, “We have no king but Caesar!”

“¡Fuera! ¡Fuera! ¡Crucifícalo!” gritaron ellos. “¿He de crucificar a su Rey?” les dijo Pilato. Los principales sacerdotes respondieron: “No tenemos más rey que el César.”

16 T hen Pilate handed Him over to be nailed to a cross. They took Jesus and led Him away. Jesus on the Cross

Así que entonces Pilato Lo entregó a ellos para que fuera crucificado. Crucifixión y Muerte de Jesús

17 J esus carried His own cross to a hill called the Place of the Skull.

Tomaron, pues, a Jesús, y El salió cargando Su cruz al sitio llamado el Lugar de la Calavera, que en Hebreo se dice Gólgota,

18 T here they nailed Him to the cross. With Him were two others. There was one on each side of Jesus.

donde Lo crucificaron, y con El a otros dos, uno a cada lado y Jesús en medio.

19 T hen Pilate put a writing on the cross which said, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Pilato también escribió un letrero y lo puso sobre la cruz. Y estaba escrito: “JESUS EL NAZARENO, EL REY DE LOS JUDIOS.”

20 T his was read by many of the Jews. The place where Jesus was nailed to the cross was near the city. The writing was written in the Hebrew and the Latin and the Greek languages.

Entonces muchos Judíos leyeron esta inscripción, porque el lugar donde Jesús fue crucificado quedaba cerca de la ciudad; y estaba escrita en Hebreo, en Latín y en Griego.

21 T hen the head religious leaders of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews’! Write, ‘He said, I am the King of the Jews.’”

Por eso los principales sacerdotes de los Judíos decían a Pilato: “No escribas, ‘el Rey de los Judíos;’ sino que El dijo: ‘Yo soy Rey de los Judíos.’”

22 P ilate said, “What I have written is to stay just as it is!” They Divided His Clothes

Pilato respondió: “Lo que he escrito, he escrito.”

23 T he soldiers who nailed Jesus to the cross took His clothes and divided them in four parts, each soldier getting one part. But His coat which was not sewed was made in one piece.

Entonces los soldados, cuando crucificaron a Jesús, tomaron Sus vestidos e hicieron cuatro partes, una parte para cada soldado. Y tomaron también la túnica; y la túnica era sin costura, tejida en una sola pieza.

24 T hey said to each other, “Let us not cut it up. Let us draw names to see whose it should be.” This happened as the Holy Writings said it would happen, “They divided My clothes among them and they drew names for My coat.”

Por tanto, se dijeron unos a otros: “No la rompamos; sino echemos suertes sobre ella, para ver de quién será;” para que se cumpliera la Escritura: “ Repartieron entre si Mis vestidos, y sobre Mi ropa echaron suertes.”

25 T his is what the soldiers did. The Women at the Cross The mother of Jesus and her sister Mary, the wife of Cleophas, were standing near the cross. Mary Magdalene was there also.

Por eso los soldados hicieron esto. Y junto a la cruz de Jesús estaban Su madre, y la hermana de Su madre, María, la mujer de Cleofas, y María Magdalena.

26 J esus saw His mother and the follower whom He loved standing near. He said to His mother, “Woman, look at your son.”

Y cuando Jesús vio a Su madre, y al discípulo a quien El amaba que estaba allí cerca, dijo a Su madre: “¡Mujer, ahí está tu hijo!”

27 T hen Jesus said to the follower, “Look at your mother.” From that time the follower took her to his own house. The Death of Jesus

Después dijo al discípulo: “¡Ahí está tu madre!” Y desde aquella hora el discípulo la recibió en su propia casa.

28 J esus knew that everything was now finished. Everything happened as the Holy Writings said it would happen. He said, “I am thirsty.”

Después de esto, sabiendo Jesús que todo ya se había consumado, para que se cumpliera la Escritura, dijo: “Tengo sed.”

29 T here was a jar full of sour wine near. They filled a sponge and put it on a stick and put it to His mouth.

Había allí una vasija llena de vinagre. Colocaron, pues, una esponja empapada del vinagre en una rama de hisopo, y se la acercaron a la boca.

30 J esus took the sour wine and said, “It is finished.” He put His head down and gave up His spirit and died. His Bones Were Not Broken

Entonces Jesús, cuando hubo tomado el vinagre, dijo: “¡Consumado es! (¡Cumplido está!)” E inclinando la cabeza, entregó el espíritu.

31 T his was the day before the special religious gathering to remember how the Jews left Egypt. The next day was the Day of Rest and the great day of the religious gathering. The Jews went to Pilate and asked to have the legs of the men broken. They wanted their bodies taken away so they would not be hanging on the crosses on the Day of Rest.

Los Judíos entonces, como era el día de preparación para la Pascua, a fin de que los cuerpos no se quedaran en la cruz el día de reposo, porque ese día de reposo era muy solemne, pidieron a Pilato que les quebraran las piernas y se los llevaran.

32 T hen the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other one who had been nailed to crosses beside Jesus.

Fueron, pues, los soldados y quebraron las piernas del primero, y también las del otro que había sido crucificado con Jesús.

33 T hey came to Jesus. They saw He was already dead so they did not break His legs.

Cuando llegaron a Jesús, como vieron que ya estaba muerto, no le quebraron las piernas;

34 B ut one of the soldiers pushed a spear into His side. Blood and water ran out.

pero uno de los soldados le traspasó el costado con una lanza, y al momento salió sangre y agua.

35 T he one who saw it is writing this and what he says is true. He knows he is telling the truth so you may believe.

Y el que lo ha visto ha dado testimonio, y su testimonio es verdadero; y él sabe que dice la verdad, para que ustedes también crean.

36 T hese things happened as the Holy Writings said they would happen, “Not one of His bones will be broken.”

Porque esto sucedió para que se cumpliera la Escritura: “ No sera quebrado hueso Suyo.”

37 A nd in another place the Holy Writings say, “They will look at Him Whose side they cut.” The Grave of Jesus

Y también otra Escritura dice: “ Miraran a Aquel que traspasaron.” Sepultura de Jesús

38 J oseph was from the town of Arimathea. He was a follower of Jesus but was afraid of the Jews. So he worshiped without anyone knowing it. He asked Pilate if he could take away the body of Jesus. Pilate said he could. Then Joseph came and took it away.

Después de estas cosas, José de Arimatea, que era discípulo de Jesús, aunque en secreto por miedo a los Judíos, pidió permiso a Pilato para llevarse el cuerpo de Jesús. Y Pilato concedió el permiso. Entonces José vino, y se llevó el cuerpo de Jesús.

39 N icodemus came also. The first time he had come to Jesus had been at night. He brought with him a large box of spices.

Y Nicodemo, el que antes había venido a Jesús de noche, vino también, trayendo una mezcla de mirra y áloe como de treinta y tres kilos.

40 T hen they took the body of Jesus with the spices and put it in linen cloths. This was the way the Jews made a body ready for the grave.

Entonces tomaron el cuerpo de Jesús, y lo envolvieron en telas de lino con las especias aromáticas, como es costumbre sepultar entre los Judíos.

41 T here was a garden near the place where He had been nailed to the cross. In the garden there was a new grave in the side of the hill. No one had ever been laid there.

En el lugar donde fue crucificado había un huerto, y en el huerto un sepulcro nuevo, en el cual todavía no habían sepultado a nadie.

42 T his place was near by. Because it was the day the Jews got ready for the special religious gathering, they laid Jesus in it.

Por tanto, por causa del día de la preparación de los Judíos, como el sepulcro estaba cerca, pusieron allí a Jesús.
