John 18
1 After offering this prayer Jesus went out with His disciples to a place on the further side of the Ravine of the Cedars, where there was a garden which He entered--Himself 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 Now Judas also, who at that very time was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often resorted there with His disciples.
Sciebat autem et Iudas, qui tradebat eum, locum: quia frequenter Iesus convenerat illuc cum discipulis suis.
3 So Judas, followed by the battalion and by a detachment of the Temple police sent by the High Priests and Pharisees, came there with torches and lamps 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 that was about to befall Him, went out to meet them. "Who are you looking for?" He asked them.
Iesus itaque sciens omnia, quæ ventura erant super eum, processit, et dixit eis: Quem quæritis?
5 "For Jesus the Nazarene," was the answer. "I am he," He replied. (Now Judas who was betraying Him was also standing with them.)
Responderunt ei: Iesum Nazarenum. Dicit eis Iesus: Ego sum. Stabat autem et Iudas, qui tradebat eum, cum ipsis.
6 As soon then as He said to them, "I am he," they went backwards and fell to the ground.
Ut ergo dixit eis: Ego sum: abierunt retrorsum, et ceciderunt in terram.
7 Again therefore He asked them, "Who are you looking for?" "For Jesus the Nazarene," they said.
Iterum ergo interrogavit eos: Quem quæritis? Illi autem dixerunt: Iesum Nazarenum.
8 "I have told you," replied Jesus, "that I am he. If therefore you are looking for me, let these my disciples go their way."
Respondit Iesus: Dixi vobis, quia ego sum: si ergo me quæritis, sinite hos abire.
9 He made this request in order that the words He had spoken might be fulfilled, "As for those whom Thou hast given me, I have not lost one."
Ut impleretur sermo, quem dixit: Quia quos dedisti mihi, non perdidi ex eis quemquam.
10 Simon Peter, however, having a sword, drew it, and, aiming at the High Priest's servant, cut 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 Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put back your sword. Shall I refuse to drink the cup of sorrow which the Father has given me to drink?"
Dixit ergo Iesus Petro: Mitte gladium tuum in vaginam. Calicem, quem dedit mihi Pater, non bibam illum?
12 So the battalion and their tribune and the Jewish police closed in, and took Jesus and bound Him.
Cohors ergo, et tribunus, et ministri Iudæorum comprehenderunt Iesum, et ligaverunt eum:
13 They then brought Him to Annas first; for Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year.
Et adduxerunt eum ad Annam primum, erat enim socer Caiphæ, qui erat pontifex anni illius.
14 (It was this Caiaphas who had advised the Jews, saying, "It is to your interest that one man should die for the People.")
Erat autem Caiphas, qui consilium dederat Iudæis: Quia expedit, unum hominem mori pro populo.
15 Meanwhile Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so also was another disciple. The latter was known to the High Priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest's palace.
Sequebatur autem Iesum Simon Petrus, et alius discipulus. Discipulus autem ille erat notus pontifici, et introivit cum Iesu in atrium pontificis.
16 But Peter remained standing outside the door, till the disciple who was acquainted with the High Priest came out and induced the portress to let Peter in.
Petrus autem stabat ad ostium foris. Exivit ergo discipulus alius, qui erat notus pontifici, et dixit ostiariæ: et introduxit Petrum.
17 This led the girl, the portress, to ask Peter, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" "No, I am not," he replied.
Dicit ergo Petro ancilla ostiaria: Numquid et tu ex discipulis es hominis istius? Dicit ille: Non sum.
18 Now because it was cold the servants and the police had lighted a charcoal fire, and were standing and warming themselves; and Peter too remained with them, standing 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 So the High Priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.
Pontifex ergo interrogavit Iesum de discipulis suis, et de doctrina eius.
20 "As for me," replied Jesus, "I have spoken openly to the world. I have continually taught in some synagogue or in the Temple where all the Jews are wont to assemble, and I have said nothing in secret.
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 do you question me? Question those who heard what it was I said to them: these witnesses here know what I said."
Quid me interrogas? Interroga eos, qui audierunt quid locutus sim ipsis: ecce hi sciunt quæ dixerim ego.
22 Upon His saying this, one of the officers standing by struck Him with his open hand, asking Him as he did so, "Is that the way you answer the High Priest?"
Hæc autem cum dixisset, unus assistens ministrorum dedit alapam Iesu, dicens: Sic respondes pontifici?
23 "If I have spoken wrongly," replied Jesus, "bear witness to it as wrong; but if rightly, why that blow?"
Respondit ei Iesus: Si male locutus sum, testimonium perhibe de malo: si autem bene, quid me cædis?
24 So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the High Priest.
Et misit eum Annas ligatum ad Caipham pontificem.
25 But Simon Peter remained standing and warming himself, and this led to their asking him, "Are you also one of his disciples?" He denied it, and said, "No, 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, said, "Did I not see you 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 Once more Peter denied it, and immediately a cock crowed.
Iterum ergo negavit Petrus: et statim gallus cantavit.
28 So they brought Jesus from Caiaphas's house to the Praetorium. It was the early morning, and they would not enter the Praetorium themselves for fear of defilement, and in order that they might be able to 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 Accordingly Pilate came out to them and inquired, "What accusation have you to bring against this man?"
Exivit ergo Pilatus ad eos foras, et dixit: Quam accusationem affertis adversus hominem hunc?
30 "If the man 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 "Take him yourselves," said Pilate, "and judge him by your Law." "We have no power," replied the Jews, "to put any man 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 They said this that the words might be fulfilled in which Jesus predicted the kind of death He was to die.
Ut sermo Iesu impleretur, quem dixit, significans qua morte esset moriturus.
33 Re-entering the Praetorium, therefore, Pilate called Jesus and asked Him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
Introivit ergo iterum in prætorium Pilatus, et vocavit Iesum, et dixit ei: Tu es rex Iudæorum?
34 "Do you say this of yourself, or have others told it you about me?" replied Jesus.
Respondit Iesus: A temetipso hoc dicis, an alii dixerunt tibi de me?
35 "Am I a Jew?" exclaimed Pilate; "it is your own nation and the High Priests who have handed you over to me. What have you done?"
Respondit Pilatus: Numquid ego Iudæus sum? Gens tua, et pontifices tradiderunt te mihi: quid fecisti?
36 "My kingdom," replied Jesus, "does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my subjects would have resolutely fought to save me from being delivered up to the Jews. But, as a matter of fact, my kingdom has not this origin."
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 "So then you are a king!" rejoined Pilate. "Yes," said Jesus, "you say truly that I am a king. For this purpose I was born, and for this purpose I have come into the world--to give testimony for the truth. Every one who is a friend of 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?" said Pilate. But no sooner had he spoken the words than he went out again to the Jews and told them, "I find no crime 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 you have a custom that I should release one prisoner to you at the Passover. So shall I release to you the King of the Jews?"
Est autem consuetudo vobis ut unum dimittam vobis in Pascha: vultis ergo dimittam vobis regem Iudæorum?
40 With a roar of voices they again cried out, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.
Clamaverunt ergo rursum omnes, dicentes: Non hunc, sed Barabbam. Erat autem Barabbas latro.
