< John 18 >

1 Jesus, having said these things, went out with his disciples beyond the torrent Cedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, he and his disciples.
Hæc cum dixisset Iesus, egressus est cum discipulis suis trans Torrentem Cedron, ubi erat hortus, in quem introivit ipse, et discipuli eius.
2 And Judas also, who delivered him up, knew the place, because Jesus was often there, in company with his disciples.
Sciebat autem et Iudas, qui tradebat eum, locum: quia frequenter Iesus convenerat illuc cum discipulis suis.
3 Judas therefore, having got the band, and officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
Iudas ergo cum accepisset cohortem, et a Pontificibus, et Pharisæis ministros, venit illuc cum laternis, et facibus, et armis.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth and said to them, Whom seek ye?
Iesus itaque sciens omnia, quæ ventura erant super eum, processit, et dixit eis: Quem quæritis?
5 They answered him, Jesus the Nazaraean. Jesus says to them, I am [he]. And Judas also, who delivered him up, stood with them.
Responderunt ei: Iesum Nazarenum. Dicit eis Iesus: Ego sum. Stabat autem et Iudas, qui tradebat eum, cum ipsis.
6 When therefore he said to them, I am [he], they went away backward and fell to the ground.
Ut ergo dixit eis: Ego sum: abierunt retrorsum, et ceciderunt in terram.
7 He demanded of them therefore again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazaraean.
Iterum ergo interrogavit eos: Quem quæritis? Illi autem dixerunt: Iesum Nazarenum.
8 Jesus answered, I told you that I am [he]: if therefore ye seek me, let these go away;
Respondit Iesus: Dixi vobis, quia ego sum: si ergo me quæritis, sinite hos abire.
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, [As to] those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them.
Ut impleretur sermo, quem dixit: Quia quos dedisti mihi, non perdidi ex eis quemquam.
10 Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and smote the bondman of the high priest and cut off his right ear; and the bondman'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 Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it?
Dixit ergo Iesus Petro: Mitte gladium tuum in vaginam. Calicem, quem dedit mihi Pater, non bibam illum?
12 The band therefore, and the chiliarch, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him:
Cohors ergo, et tribunus, et ministri Iudæorum comprehenderunt Iesum, et ligaverunt eum:
13 and they led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
Et adduxerunt eum ad Annam primum, erat enim socer Caiphæ, qui erat pontifex anni illius.
14 But it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was better that one man should perish for the people.
Erat autem Caiphas, qui consilium dederat Iudæis: Quia expedit, unum hominem mori pro populo.
15 Now Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple. But that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace 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 at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the porteress and brought in Peter.
Petrus autem stabat ad ostium foris. Exivit ergo discipulus alius, qui erat notus pontifici, et dixit ostiariæ: et introduxit Petrum.
17 The maid therefore, who was porteress, says to Peter, Art thou also of the disciples of this man? He says, I am not.
Dicit ergo Petro ancilla ostiaria: Numquid et tu ex discipulis es hominis istius? Dicit ille: Non sum.
18 But the bondmen and officers, having made a fire of coals (for it was cold), stood and warmed themselves; and Peter was standing with them and 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 The high priest therefore demanded of Jesus concerning his disciples and concerning his doctrine.
Pontifex ergo interrogavit Iesum de discipulis suis, et de doctrina eius.
20 Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I taught always in [the] synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing.
Respondit ei Iesus: Ego palam locutus sum mundo: ego semper docui in synagoga, et in templo, quo omnes Iudæi conveniunt: et in occulto locutus sum nihil.
21 Why demandest thou of me? Demand of those who have heard, what I have spoken to them; behold, they know what I have said.
Quid me interrogas? Interroga eos, qui audierunt quid locutus sim ipsis: ecce hi sciunt quæ dixerim ego.
22 But as he said these things, one of the officers who stood by gave a blow on the face to Jesus, saying, Answerest thou the high priest thus?
Hæc autem cum dixisset, unus assistens ministrorum dedit alapam Iesu, dicens: Sic respondes pontifici?
23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?
Respondit ei Iesus: Si male locutus sum, testimonium perhibe de malo: si autem bene, quid me cædis?
24 Annas [then] had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
Et misit eum Annas ligatum ad Caipham pontificem.
25 But Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, Art thou also of his disciples? He denied, 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 bondmen of the high priest, who was kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
Dicit ei unus ex servis pontificis, cognatus eius, cuius abscidit Petrus auriculam: Nonne ego te vidi in horto cum illo?
27 Peter denied therefore again, and immediately [the] cock crew.
Iterum ergo negavit Petrus: et statim gallus cantavit.
28 They lead therefore Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium; and it was early morn. And they entered not into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but eat the passover.
Adducunt ergo Iesum a Caipha in prætorium. Erat autem mane: et ipsi non introierunt in prætorium, ut non contaminarentur, sed ut manducarent Pascha.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, What accusation do ye bring against this man?
Exivit ergo Pilatus ad eos foras, et dixit: Quam accusationem affertis adversus hominem hunc?
30 They answered and said to him, If this [man] were not an evildoer, we should not have delivered him up to thee.
Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: Si non esset hic malefactor, non tibi tradidissemus eum.
31 Pilate therefore said to them, Take him, ye, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not permitted to us to put any one to death;
Dixit ergo eis Pilatus: Accipite eum vos, et secundum legem vestram iudicate eum. Dixerunt ergo ei Iudæi: Nobis non licet interficere quemquam.
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.
Ut sermo Iesu impleretur, quem dixit, significans qua morte esset moriturus.
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium and called Jesus, and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jews?
Introivit ergo iterum in prætorium Pilatus, et vocavit Iesum, et dixit ei: Tu es rex Iudæorum?
34 Jesus answered [him], Dost thou say this of thyself, or have others said it to thee concerning me?
Respondit Iesus: A temetipso hoc dicis, an alii dixerunt tibi de me?
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy nation and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?
Respondit Pilatus: Numquid ego Iudæus sum? Gens tua, et pontifices tradiderunt te mihi: quid fecisti?
36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my servants had fought that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.
Respondit Iesus: Regnum meum non est de hoc mundo. Si ex hoc mundo esset regnum meum, ministri mei utique decertarent ut non traderer Iudæis: nunc autem regnum meum non est hinc.
37 Pilate therefore said to him, Thou art then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest [it], that I am a king. I have been born for this, and for this I have come into the world, that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears 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 Pilate says to him, What is truth? And having said this he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, I find no fault whatever in him.
Dicit ei Pilatus: Quid est veritas? Et cum hoc dixisset, iterum exivit ad Iudæos, et dicit eis: Ego nullam invenio in eo causam.
39 But ye have a custom that I release [some] one to you at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the king of the Jews?
Est autem consuetudo vobis ut unum dimittam vobis in Pascha: vultis ergo dimittam vobis regem Iudæorum?
40 They cried therefore again all, saying, Not this [man], but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
Clamaverunt ergo rursum omnes, dicentes: Non hunc, sed Barabbam. Erat autem Barabbas latro.
