John 18
1 After Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where they entered a garden.
Haec cum dixisset Iesus, egressus est cum discipulis suis trans Torrentem Cedron, ubi erat hortus, in quem introivit ipse, et discipuli eius.
2 Now Judas His betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples.
Sciebat autem et Iudas, qui tradebat eum, locum: quia frequenter Iesus convenerat illuc cum discipulis suis.
3 So Judas brought a band of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees. They arrived at the garden carrying lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Iudas ergo cum accepisset cohortem, et a Pontificibus, et Pharisaeis ministros, venit illuc cum laternis, et facibus, et armis.
4 Jesus, knowing all that was coming upon Him, stepped forward and asked them, “Whom are you seeking?”
Iesus itaque sciens omnia, quae ventura erant super eum, processit, et dixit eis: Quem quaeritis?
5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. Jesus said, “I am He.” And Judas His betrayer was standing there with them.
Responderunt ei: Iesum Nazarenum. Dicit eis Iesus: Ego sum. Stabat autem et Iudas, qui tradebat eum, cum ipsis.
6 When Jesus said, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
Ut ergo dixit eis: Ego sum: abierunt retrorsum, et ceciderunt in terram.
7 So He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.
Iterum ergo interrogavit eos: Quem quaeritis? Illi autem dixerunt: Iesum Nazarenum.
8 “I told you that I am He,” Jesus replied. “So if you are looking for Me, let these men go.”
Respondit Iesus: Dixi vobis, quia ego sum: si ergo me quaeritis, sinite hos abire.
9 This was to fulfill the word He had spoken: “I have not lost one of those You have given Me.”
Ut impleretur sermo, quem dixit: Quia quos dedisti mihi, non perdidi ex eis quemquam.
10 Then Simon Peter drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
Simon ergo Petrus habens gladium eduxit eum: et percussit pontificis servum: et abscidit auriculam eius dexteram. Erat autem nomen servo Malchus.
11 “Put your sword back in its sheath!” Jesus said to Peter. “Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given Me?”
Dixit ergo Iesus Petro: Mitte gladium tuum in vaginam. Calicem, quem dedit mihi Pater, non vis ut bibam illum?
12 Then the band of soldiers, with its commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him.
Cohors ergo, et tribunus, et ministri Iudaeorum comprehenderunt Iesum, et ligaverunt eum:
13 They brought Him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.
Et adduxerunt eum ad Annam primum, erat enim socer Caiphae, qui erat pontifex anni illius.
14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be better if one man died for the people.
Erat autem Caiphas, qui consilium dederat Iudaeis: Quia expedit, unum hominem mori pro populo.
15 Now Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he also went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.
Sequebatur autem Iesum Simon Petrus, et alius discipulus. Discipulus autem ille erat notus pontifici, et introivit cum Iesu in atrium pontificis.
16 But Peter stood outside at the door. Then the disciple who was known to the high priest went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.
Petrus autem stabat ad ostium foris. Exivit ergo discipulus alius, qui erat notus pontifici, et dixit ostiariae: et introduxit Petrum.
17 At this, the servant girl watching the door said to Peter, “Aren’t you also one of this man’s disciples?” “I am not,” he answered.
Dicit ergo Petro ancilla ostiaria: Numquid et tu ex discipulis es hominis istius? Dicit ille: Non sum.
18 Because it was cold, the servants and officers were standing around a charcoal fire they had made to keep warm. And Peter was also standing with them, warming himself.
Stabant autem servi, et ministri ad prunas: quia frigus erat, et calefaciebant se: erat autem cum eis et Petrus stans, et calefaciens se.
19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.
Pontifex ergo interrogavit Iesum de discipulis suis, et de doctrina eius.
20 “I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus answered. “I always taught in the synagogues and at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
Respondit ei Iesus: Ego palam locutus sum mundo: ego semper docui in synagoga, et in templo, quo omnes Iudaei conveniunt: et in occulto locutus sum nihil.
21 Why are you asking Me? Ask those who heard My message. Surely they know what I said.”
Quid me interrogas? interroga eos, qui audierunt quid locutus sim ipsis: ecce hi sciunt quae dixerim ego.
22 When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped Him in the face and said, “Is this how You answer the high priest?”
Haec autem cum dixisset, unus assistens ministrorum dedit alapam Iesu, dicens: Sic respondes pontifici?
23 Jesus replied, “If I said something wrong, testify as to what was wrong. But if I spoke correctly, why did you strike Me?”
Respondit ei Iesus: Si male locutus sum, testimonium perhibe de malo: si autem bene, quid me caedis?
24 Then Annas sent Him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.
Et misit eum Annas ligatum ad Caipham pontificem.
25 Simon Peter was still standing and warming himself. So they asked him, “Aren’t you also one of His disciples?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
Erat autem Simon Petrus stans, et calefaciens se. Dixerunt ergo ei: Numquid et tu ex discipulis eius es? Negavit ille, et dixit: Non sum.
26 One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Didn’t I see you with Him in the garden?”
Dicit ei unus ex servis pontificis, cognatus eius, cuius abscidit Petrus auriculam: Nonne ego te vidi in horto cum illo?
27 Peter denied it once more, and immediately a rooster crowed.
Iterum ergo negavit Petrus: et statim gallus cantavit.
28 Then they led Jesus away from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. By now it was early morning, and the Jews did not enter the Praetorium, to avoid being defiled and unable to eat the Passover.
Adducunt ergo Iesum a Caipha in praetorium. Erat autem mane: et ipsi non introierunt in praetorium, ut non contaminarentur, sed ut manducarent Pascha.
29 So Pilate went out to them and asked, “What accusation are you bringing against this man?”
Exivit ergo Pilatus ad eos foras, et dixit: Quam accusationem affertis adversus hominem hunc?
30 “If He were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed Him over to you.”
Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: Si non esset hic malefactor, non tibi tradidissemus eum.
31 “You take Him and judge Him by your own law,” Pilate told them. “We are not permitted to execute anyone,” the Jews replied.
Dixit ergo eis Pilatus: Accipite eum vos, et secundum legem vestram iudicate eum. Dixerunt ergo ei Iudaei: Nobis non licet interficere quemquam.
32 This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
Ut sermo Iesu impleretur, quem dixit, significans qua morte esset moriturus.
33 Pilate went back into the Praetorium, summoned Jesus, and asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
Introivit ergo iterum in praetorium Pilatus, et vocavit Iesum, et dixit ei: Tu es rex Iudaeorum?
34 “Are you saying this on your own,” Jesus asked, “or did others tell you about Me?”
Respondit Iesus: A temetipso hoc dicis, an alii dixerunt tibi de me?
35 “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed You over to me. What have You done?”
Respondit Pilatus: Numquid ego Iudaeus sum? Gens tua, et pontifices tui tradiderunt te mihi: quid fecisti?
36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world; if it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now My kingdom is not of this realm.”
Respondit Iesus: Regnum meum non est de hoc mundo. si ex hoc mundo esset regnum meum, ministri mei utique decertarent ut non traderer Iudaeis: nunc autem regnum meum non est hinc.
37 “Then You are a king!” Pilate said. “You say that I am a king,” Jesus answered. “For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice.”
Dixit itaque ei Pilatus: Ergo rex es tu? Respondit Iesus: Tu dicis quia rex sum ego. Ego in hoc natus sum, et ad hoc veni in mundum, ut testimonium perhibeam veritati: omnis, qui est ex veritate, audit vocem meam.
38 “What is truth?” Pilate asked. And having said this, he went out again to the Jews and told them, “I find no basis for a charge against Him.
Dicit ei Pilatus: Quid est veritas? Et cum hoc dixisset, iterum exivit ad Iudaeos, et dicit eis: Ego nullam invenio in eo causam.
39 But it is your custom that I release to you one prisoner at the Passover. So then, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
Est autem consuetudo vobis ut unum dimittam vobis in Pascha: vultis ergo dimittam vobis regem Iudaeorum?
40 “Not this man,” they shouted, “but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.)
Clamaverunt rursum omnes, dicentes: Non hunc, sed Barabbam. Erat autem Barabbas latro.
