And they consulted together and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.

8 P or lo cual aquel campo se ha llamado hasta el día de hoy: Campo de sangre.

Now Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “ It is as you say.”

12 Y siendo acusado por los principales sacerdotes y por los ancianos, nada respondió.

And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing.

13 P ilato entonces le dijo: ¿No oyes cuántas cosas testifican contra ti?

Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?”

14 P ero Jesús no le respondió ni una palabra; de tal manera que el gobernador se maravillaba mucho. Jesús, sentenciado a muerte

But He answered him not one word, so that the governor marveled greatly. Taking the Place of Barabbas

15 A hora bien, en el día de la fiesta acostumbraba el gobernador soltar al pueblo un preso, el que quisiesen.

Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished.

16 Y tenían entonces un preso famoso llamado Barrabás.

And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.

17 R eunidos, pues, ellos, les dijo Pilato: ¿A quién queréis que os suelte: a Barrabás, o a Jesús, llamado el Cristo?

Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

18 P orque sabía que por envidia le habían entregado.

For he knew that they had handed Him over because of envy.

19 Y estando él sentado en el tribunal, su mujer le mandó a decir: No tengas nada que ver con ese justo; porque hoy he padecido mucho en sueños por causa de él.

While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.”

20 P ero los principales sacerdotes y los ancianos persuadieron a la multitud que pidiese a Barrabás, y que diesen muerte a Jesús.

But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

21 Y respondiendo el gobernador, les dijo: ¿A cuál de los dos queréis que os suelte? Y ellos dijeron: A Barrabás.

The governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”

22 P ilato les dijo: ¿Qué, pues, haré de Jesús, llamado el Cristo? Todos le dijeron: ¡Sea crucificado!

Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!”

23 Y el gobernador les dijo: Pues ¿qué mal ha hecho? Pero ellos gritaban aún más, diciendo: ¡Sea crucificado!

Then the governor said, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!”

24 V iendo Pilato que nada conseguía, sino que más bien se formaba un tumulto, tomó agua y se lavó las manos delante del pueblo, diciendo: Soy inocente de la sangre de este justo; allá vosotros.

When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You see to it. ”

25 Y respondiendo todo el pueblo, dijo: Su sangre sea sobre nosotros, y sobre nuestros hijos.

And all the people answered and said, “His blood be on us and on our children.”

26 E ntonces les soltó a Barrabás; y habiendo azotado a Jesús, le entregó para ser crucificado.

Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified. The Soldiers Mock Jesus

27 E ntonces los soldados del gobernador llevaron a Jesús al pretorio, y reunieron alrededor de él a toda la compañía;

Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around Him.

28 y desnudándole, le echaron encima un manto de escarlata,

And they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29 y trenzando una corona de espinas, la pusieron sobre su cabeza, y una caña en su mano derecha; e hincando la rodilla delante de él, le escarnecían, diciendo: ¡Salve, Rey de los judíos!

When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on 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 Y escupiéndole, tomaban la caña y le golpeaban en la cabeza.

Then they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head.

34 l e dieron a beber vinagre mezclado con hiel; pero después de haberlo probado, no quiso beberlo.

Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: “They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.”

and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”

41 D e esta manera, también los principales sacerdotes, escarneciéndole con los escribas y los fariseos y los ancianos, decían:

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

42 A otros salvó, a sí mismo no se puede salvar; si es el Rey de Israel, descienda ahora de la cruz, y creeremos en él.

“He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him.

43 H a puesto su confianza en Dios; líbrele ahora si le quiere; porque ha dicho: Soy Hijo de Dios.

He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44 L o mismo le injuriaban también los ladrones que estaban crucificados con él.

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, “This Man is calling for Elijah!”

48 Y al instante, corriendo uno de ellos, tomó una esponja, y la empapó de vinagre, y poniéndola en una caña, le dio a beber.

saying, “Sir, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise.’

64 M anda, pues, que se asegure el sepulcro hasta el tercer día, no sea que vengan sus discípulos, y lo hurten, y digan al pueblo: Resucitó de entre los muertos. Y el último engaño será peor que el primero.

Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, ‘He has risen from the dead.’ So the last deception will be worse than the first.”

65 Y Pilato les dijo: Ahí tenéis una guardia; id, aseguradlo como sabéis.
