Mateo 26

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Y sucedió que, cuando acabó Jesús todos estos discursos, dijo a sus discípulos:	1 And it happened that, when Jesus had completed all these words, he said to his disciples,
2 «Ya sabéis que dentro de dos días es la Pascua; y el Hijo del hombre va a ser entregado para ser crucificado».	2 “You know that after two days the Passover will begin, and the Son of man will be handed over to be crucified.”
3 Entonces los sumos sacerdotes y los ancianos del pueblo se reunieron en el palacio del Sumo Sacerdote, llamado Caifás;	3 Then the leaders of the priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
4 y resolvieron prender a Jesús con engaño y darle muerte.	4 And they took counsel so that by deceitfulness they might take hold of Jesus and kill him.
5 Decían sin embargo: «Durante la fiesta no, para que no haya alboroto en el pueblo».	5 But they said, “Not on the feast day, lest perhaps there may be a tumult among the people.”
6 Hallándose Jesús en Betania, en casa de Simón el leproso,	6 And when Jesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 se acercó a él una mujer que traía un frasco de alabastro, con perfume muy caro, y lo derramó sobre su cabeza mientras estaba a la mesa.	7 a woman drew near to him, holding an alabaster box of precious ointment, and she poured it over his head while he was reclining at table.
8 Al ver esto los discípulos se indignaron y dijeron: «¿Para qué este despilfarro?	8 But the disciples, seeing this, were indignant, saying: “What is the purpose of this waste?
9 Se podía haber vendido a buen precio y habérselo dado a los pobres».	9 For this could have been sold for a great deal, so as to be given to the poor.”
10 Mas Jesús, dándose cuenta, les dijo: «¿Por qué molestáis a esta mujer? Pues una “obra buena” ha hecho conmigo.	10 But Jesus, knowing this, said to them: “Why are you bothering this woman? For she has done a good deed to me.
11 Porque pobres tendréis siempre con vosotros, pero a mí no me tendréis siempre.	11 For the poor you will always have with you. But you will not always have me.
12 Y al derramar ella este ungüento sobre mi cuerpo, en vista de mi sepultura lo ha hecho.	12 For in pouring this ointment on my body, she has prepared for my burial.
13 Yo os aseguro: dondequiera que se proclame esta Buena Nueva, en el mundo entero, se hablará también de lo que ésta ha hecho para memoria suya».	13 Amen I say to you, wherever this Gospel will be preached in the whole world, what she has done also shall be told, in memory of her.”
14 Entonces uno de los Doce, llamado Judas Iscariote, fue donde los sumos sacerdotes,	14 Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the leaders of the priests,
15 y les dijo: «¿Qué queréis darme, y yo os lo entregaré?» Ellos le asignaron treinta monedas de plata.	15 and he said to them, “What are you willing to give me, if I hand him over to you?” So they appointed thirty pieces of silver for him.
16 Y desde ese momento andaba buscando una oportunidad para entregarle.	16 And from then on, he sought an opportunity to betray him.
17 El primer día de los Azimos, los discípulos se acercaron a Jesús y le dijeron: «¿Dónde quieres que te hagamos los preparativos para comer el cordero de Pascua?»	17 Then, on the first day of Unleavened Bread, the disciples approached Jesus, saying, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
18 El les dijo: «Id a la ciudad, a casa de fulano, y decidle: “El Maestro dice: Mi tiempo está cerca; en tu casa voy a celebrar la Pascua con mis discípulos.”»	18 So Jesus said, “Go into the city, to a certain one, and say to him: ‘The Teacher said: My time is near. I am observing the Passover with you, along with my disciples.’ ”
19 Los discípulos hicieron lo que Jesús les había mandado, y prepararon la Pascua.	19 And the disciples did just as Jesus appointed to them. And they prepared the Passover.
20 Al atardecer, se puso a la mesa con los Doce.	20 Then, when evening arrived, he sat at table with his twelve disciples.
21 Y mientras comían, dijo: «Yo os aseguro que uno de vosotros me entregará».	21 And while they were eating, he said: “Amen I say to you, that one of you is about to betray me.”
22 Muy entristecidos, se pusieron a decirle uno por uno: «¿Acaso soy yo, Señor?»	22 And being greatly saddened, each one of them began to say, “Surely, it is not I, Lord?”
23 El respondió: «El que ha mojado conmigo la mano en el plato, ése me entregará.	23 But he responded by saying: “He who dips his hand with me into the dish, the same will betray me.
24 El Hijo del hombre se va, como está escrito de él, pero ¡ay de aquel por quien el Hijo del hombre es entregado! ¡Más le valdría a ese hombre no haber nacido!»	24 Indeed, the Son of man goes, just as it has been written about him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of man will be betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”
25 Entonces preguntó Judas, el que iba a entregarle: «¿Soy yo acaso, Rabbí?» Dícele: «Sí, tú lo has dicho».	25 Then Judas, who betrayed him, responded by saying, “Surely, it is not I, Master?” He said to him, “You have said it.”
26 Mientras estaban comiendo, tomó Jesús pan y lo bendijo, lo partió y, dándoselo a sus discípulos, dijo: «Tomad, comed, éste es mi cuerpo».	26 Now while they were eating the meal, Jesus took bread, and he blessed and broke and gave it to his disciples, and he said: “Take and eat. This is my body.”
27 Tomó luego una copa y, dadas las gracias, se la dio diciendo: «Bebed de ella todos,	27 And taking the chalice, he gave thanks. And he gave it to them, saying: “Drink from this, all of you.
28 porque ésta es mi sangre de la Alianza, que es derramada por muchos para perdón de los pecados.	28 For this is my blood of the new covenant, which shall be shed for many as a remission of sins.
29 Y os digo que desde ahora no beberé de este producto de la vid hasta el día aquel en que lo beba con vosotros, nuevo, en el Reino de mi Padre».	29 But I say to you, I will not drink again from this fruit of the vine, until that day when I will drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.”
30 Y cantados los himnos, salieron hacia el monte de los Olivos.	30 And after a hymn was sung, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 Entonces les dice Jesús: «Todos vosotros vais a escandalizaros de mí esta noche, porque está escrito: Heriré al pastor y se dispersarán las ovejas del rebaño.	31 Then Jesus said to them: “You will all fall away from me in this night. For it has been written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 Mas después de mi resurrección, iré delante de vosotros a Galilea».	32 But after I have risen again, I will go before you to Galilee.”
33 Pedro intervino y le dijo: «Aunque todos se escandalicen de ti, yo nunca me escandalizaré».	33 Then Peter responded by saying to him, “Even if everyone else has fallen away from you, I will never fall away.”
34 Jesús le dijo: «Yo te aseguro: esta misma noche, antes que el gallo cante, me habrás negado tres veces».	34 Jesus said to him, “Amen I say to you, that in this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
35 Dícele Pedro: «Aunque tenga que morir contigo, yo no te negaré». Y lo mismo dijeron también todos los discípulos.	35 Peter said to him, “Even if it is necessary for me to die with you, I will not deny you.” And all the disciples spoke similarly.
36 Entonces va Jesús con ellos a una propiedad llamada Getsemaní, y dice a los discípulos: «Sentaos aquí, mientras voy allá a orar».	36 Then Jesus went with them to a garden, which is called Gethsemani. And he said to his disciples, “Sit down here, while I go there and pray.”
37 Y tomando consigo a Pedro y a los dos hijos de Zebedeo, comenzó a sentir tristeza y angustia.	37 And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and saddened.
38 Entonces les dice: «Mi alma está triste hasta el punto de morir; quedaos aquí y velad conmigo».	38 Then he said to them: “My soul is sorrowful, even unto death. Stay here and keep vigil with me.”
39 Y adelantándose un poco, cayó rostro en tierra, y suplicaba así: «Padre mío, si es posible, que pase de mí esta copa, pero no sea como yo quiero, sino como quieras tú».	39 And continuing on a little further, he fell prostrate on his face, praying and saying: “My Father, if it is possible, let this chalice pass away from me. Yet truly, let it not be as I will, but as you will.”
40 Viene entonces donde los discípulos y los encuentra dormidos; y dice a Pedro: «¿Conque no habéis podido velar una hora conmigo?	40 And he approached his disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter: “So, were you not able to keep vigil with me for one hour?
41 Velad y orad, para que no caigáis en tentación; que el espíritu está pronto, pero la carne es débil».	41 Be vigilant and pray, so that you may not enter into temptation. Indeed, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 Y alejándose de nuevo, por segunda vez oró así: «Padre mío, si esta copa no puede pasar sin que yo la beba, hágase tu voluntad».	42 Again, a second time, he went and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this chalice cannot pass away, unless I drink it, let your will be done.”
43 Volvió otra vez y los encontró dormidos, pues sus ojos estaban cargados.	43 And again, he went and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
44 Los dejó y se fue a orar por tercera vez, repitiendo las mismas palabras.	44 And leaving them behind, again he went and prayed for the third time, saying the same words.
45 Viene entonces donde los discípulos y les dice: «Ahora ya podéis dormir y descansar. Mirad, ha llegado la hora en que el Hijo del hombre va a ser entregado en manos de pecadores.	45 Then he approached his disciples and said to them: “Sleep now and rest. Behold, the hour has drawn near, and the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of sinners.
46 ¡Levantaos!, ¡vámonos! Mirad que el que me va a entregar está cerca».	46 Rise up; let us go. Behold, he who will betray me draws near.”
47 Todavía estaba hablando, cuando llegó Judas, uno de los Doce, acompañado de un grupo numeroso con espadas y palos, de parte de los sumos sacerdotes y los ancianos del pueblo.	47 While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived, and with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the leaders of the priests and the elders of the people.
48 El que le iba a entregar les había dado esta señal: «Aquel a quien yo dé un beso, ése es; prendedle».	48 And he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying: “Whomever I will kiss, it is he. Take hold of him.”
49 Y al instante se acercó a Jesús y le dijo: «¡Salve, Rabbí!», y le dio un beso.	49 And quickly drawing close to Jesus, he said, “Hail, Master.” And he kissed him.
50 Jesús le dijo: «Amigo, ¡a lo que estás aquí!» Entonces aquéllos se acercaron, echaron mano a Jesús y le prendieron.	50 And Jesus said to him, “Friend, for what purpose have you come?” Then they approached, and they put their hands on Jesus, and they held him.
51 En esto, uno de los que estaban con Jesús echó mano a su espada, la sacó e, hiriendo al siervo del Sumo Sacerdote, le llevó la oreja.	51 And behold, one of those who were with Jesus, extending his hand, drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
52 Dícele entonces Jesús: «Vuelve tu espada a su sitio, porque todos los que empuñen espada, a espada perecerán.	52 Then Jesus said to him: “Put your sword back in its place. For all who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.
53 ¿O piensas que no puedo yo rogar a mi Padre, que pondría al punto a mi disposición más de doce legiones de ángeles?	53 Or do you think that I cannot ask my Father, so that he would give me, even now, more than twelve legions of Angels?
54 Mas, ¿cómo se cumplirían las Escrituras de que así debe suceder?»	54 How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must be so?”
55 En aquel momento dijo Jesús a la gente: «¿Como contra un salteador habéis salido a prenderme con espadas y palos? Todos los días me sentaba en el Templo para enseñar, y no me detuvisteis.	55 In that same hour, Jesus said to the crowds: “You went out, as if to a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me. Yet I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not take hold of me.
56 Pero todo esto ha sucedido para que se cumplan las Escrituras de los profetas». Entonces los discípulos le abandonaron todos y huyeron.	56 But all this has happened so that the Scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples fled, abandoning him.
57 Los que prendieron a Jesús le llevaron ante el Sumo Sacerdote Caifás, donde se habían reunido los escribas y los ancianos.	57 But those who were holding Jesus led him to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had joined together.
58 Pedro le iba siguiendo de lejos hasta el palacio del Sumo Sacerdote; y, entrando dentro, se sentó con los criados para ver el final.	58 Then Peter followed him from a distance, as far as the court of the high priest. And going inside, he sat down with the servants, so that he might see the end.
59 Los sumos sacerdotes y el Sanedrín entero andaban buscando un falso testimonio contra Jesús con ánimo de darle muerte,	59 Then the leaders of the priests and the entire council sought false testimony against Jesus, so that they might deliver him to death.
60 y no lo encontraron, a pesar de que se presentaron muchos falsos testigos. Al fin se presentaron dos,	60 And they did not find any, even though many false witnesses had come forward. Then, at the very end, two false witnesses came forward,
61 que dijeron: «Este dijo: Yo puedo destruir el Santuario de Dios, y en tres días edificarlo».	61 and they said, “This man said: ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and, after three days, to rebuild it.’ ”
62 Entonces, se levantó el Sumo Sacerdote y le dijo: «¿No respondes nada? ¿Qué es lo que éstos atestiguan contra ti?»	62 And the high priest, rising up, said to him, “Have you nothing to respond to what these ones testify against you?”
63 Pero Jesús seguía callado. El Sumo Sacerdote le dijo: «Yo te conjuro por Dios vivo que nos digas si tú eres el Cristo, el Hijo de Dios».	63 But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to him, “I bind you by an oath to the living God to tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.”
64 Dícele Jesús: «Sí, tú lo has dicho. Y yo os declaro que a partir de ahora veréis al hijo del hombre sentado a la diestra del Poder y venir sobre las nubes del cielo».	64 Jesus said to him: “You have said it. Yet truly I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the power of God, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
65 Entonces el Sumo Sacerdote rasgó sus vestidos y dijo: «¡Ha blasfemado! ¿Qué necesidad tenemos ya de testigos? Acabáis de oír la blasfemia.	65 Then the high priest tore his garments, saying: “He has blasphemed. Why do we still need witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy.
66 ¿Qué os parece?» Respondieron ellos diciendo: «Es reo de muerte».	66 How does it seem to you?” So they responded by saying, “He is guilty unto death.”
67 Entonces se pusieron a escupirle en la cara y a abofetearle; y otros a golpearle,	67 Then they spit in his face, and they struck him with fists. And others struck his face with the palms of their hands,
68 diciendo: «Adivínanos, Cristo. ¿Quién es el que te ha pegado?»	68 saying: “Prophesy for us, O Christ. Who is the one that struck you?”
69 Pedro, entretanto, estaba sentado fuera en el patio; y una criada se acercó a él y le dijo: «También tú estabas con Jesús el Galileo».	69 Yet truly, Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a maidservant approached him, saying, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.”
70 Pero él lo negó delante de todos: «No sé qué dices».	70 But he denied it in the sight of them all, saying, “I do not know what you are saying.”
71 Cuando salía al portal, le vio otra criada y dijo a los que estaban allí: «Este estaba con Jesús el Nazoreo».	71 Then, as he exited by the gate, another maidservant saw him. And she said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72 Y de nuevo lo negó con juramento: «¡Yo no conozco a ese hombre!»	72 And again, he denied it with an oath, “For I do not know the man.”
73 Poco después se acercaron los que estaban allí y dijeron a Pedro: «¡Ciertamente, tú también eres de ellos, pues además tu misma habla te descubre!»	73 And after a little while, those who were standing nearby came and said to Peter: “Truly, you also are one of them. For even your manner of speaking reveals you.”
74 Entonces él se puso a echar imprecaciones y a jurar: «¡Yo no conozco a ese hombre!» Inmediatamente cantó un gallo.	74 Then he began to curse and to swear that he had not known the man. And immediately the rooster crowed.
75 Y Pedro se acordó de aquello que le había dicho Jesús: «Antes que el gallo cante, me habrás negado tres veces». Y, saliendo fuera, rompió a llorar amargamente.	75 And Peter remembered the words of Jesus, which he had said: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And going outside, he wept bitterly.
