Iohannem 18
1 Hæc cum dixisset Iesus, egressus est cum discipulis suis trans Torrentem Cedron, ubi erat hortus, in quem introivit ipse, et discipuli eius.
When Jesus had said these things, He went with His disciples across the Kidron ravine, where there was a garden, into which He and His disciples entered.
2 Sciebat autem et Iudas, qui tradebat eum, locum: quia frequenter Iesus convenerat illuc cum discipulis suis.
Now Judas, who was betraying Him, also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples.
3 Iudas ergo cum accepisset cohortem, et a Pontificibus, et Pharisæis ministros, venit illuc cum laternis, et facibus, et armis.
Then Judas, leading a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 Iesus itaque sciens omnia, quæ ventura erant super eum, processit, et dixit eis: Quem quæritis?
Therefore Jesus, knowing everything that would happen to Him, went forward and asked them, “Who are you looking for?”
5 Responderunt ei: Iesum Nazarenum. Dicit eis Iesus: Ego sum. Stabat autem et Iudas, qui tradebat eum, cum ipsis.
They answered, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus told them, “I AM.” Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them.
6 Ut ergo dixit eis: Ego sum: abierunt retrorsum, et ceciderunt in terram.
Now when He told them, “I AM,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Iterum ergo interrogavit eos: Quem quæritis? Illi autem dixerunt: Iesum Nazarenum.
Then He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
8 Respondit Iesus: Dixi vobis, quia ego sum: si ergo me quæritis, sinite hos abire.
Jesus answered, “I told you that I AM. So, if you are looking for me, let these go their way,”
9 Ut impleretur sermo, quem dixit: Quia quos dedisti mihi, non perdidi ex eis quemquam.
that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, “I have lost none of those who You gave me.”
10 Simon ergo Petrus habens gladium eduxit eum: et percussit pontificis servum: et abscidit auriculam eius dexteram. Erat autem nomen servo Malchus.
Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 Dixit ergo Iesus Petro: Mitte gladium tuum in vaginam. Calicem, quem dedit mihi Pater, non bibam illum?
So Jesus told Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath! Shouldn’t I drink the cup that my Father has given me?”
12 Cohors ergo, et tribunus, et ministri Iudæorum comprehenderunt Iesum, et ligaverunt eum:
Then the detachment of soldiers and their commander and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and tied Him up.
13 Et adduxerunt eum ad Annam primum, erat enim socer Caiphæ, qui erat pontifex anni illius.
They led Him away to Annas first, because he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 Erat autem Caiphas, qui consilium dederat Iudæis: Quia expedit, unum hominem mori pro populo.
It was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15 Sequebatur autem Iesum Simon Petrus, et alius discipulus. Discipulus autem ille erat notus pontifici, et introivit cum Iesu in atrium pontificis.
Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Since the high priest knew that disciple, he entered with Jesus into the high priest’s court,
16 Petrus autem stabat ad ostium foris. Exivit ergo discipulus alius, qui erat notus pontifici, et dixit ostiariæ: et introduxit Petrum.
but Peter was standing just outside the door. So the other disciple, who the high priest knew, went out and spoke to the woman who guarded the door, and brought Peter in.
17 Dicit ergo Petro ancilla ostiaria: Numquid et tu ex discipulis es hominis istius? Dicit ille: Non sum.
Then the maidservant who kept the door asked Peter, “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples, too, are you?” He said, “I am not.”
18 Stabant autem servi, et ministri ad prunas: quia frigus erat, et calefaciebant se: erat autem cum eis et Petrus stans, et calefaciens se.
Because it was cold, the servants and the officers were standing there warming themselves, having made a charcoal fire. Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.
19 Pontifex ergo interrogavit Iesum de discipulis suis, et de doctrina eius.
Then the high priest asked Jesus about His disciples and His doctrine.
20 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.
Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
21 Quid me interrogas? interroga eos, qui audierunt quid locutus sim ipsis: ecce hi sciunt quæ dixerim ego.
Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me to tell you what I told them. They certainly know what I said.”
22 Hæc autem cum dixisset, unus assistens ministrorum dedit alapam Iesu, dicens: Sic respondes pontifici?
When He had said these things, one of the officers who stood by hit Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, “Is that how you answer the high priest?”
23 Respondit ei Iesus: Si male locutus sum, testimonium perhibe de malo: si autem bene, quid me cædis?
Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify about the evil, but if I have spoken honestly, why do you hit me?”
24 Et misit eum Annas ligatum ad Caipham pontificem.
Then Annas sent Him, still bound, to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25 Erat autem Simon Petrus stans, et calefaciens se. Dixerunt ergo ei: Numquid et tu ex discipulis eius es? Negavit ille, et dixit: Non sum.
Now Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. Therefore they asked him, “You aren’t one of His disciples, too, are you?” He denied it, saying, “I am not!”
26 Dicit ei unus ex servis pontificis, cognatus eius, cuius abscidit Petrus auriculam: Nonne ego te vidi in horto cum illo?
One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with Him?”
27 Iterum ergo negavit Petrus: et statim gallus cantavit.
Peter then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
28 Adducunt ergo Iesum a Caipha in prætorium. Erat autem mane: et ipsi non introierunt in prætorium, ut non contaminarentur, sed ut manducarent Pascha.
Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early morning. They themselves didn’t go into the Praetorium, so that they wouldn’t be defiled, and so that they might eat the Passover supper.
29 Exivit ergo Pilatus ad eos foras, et dixit: Quam accusationem affertis adversus hominem hunc?
So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges do you bring against this man?”
30 Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: Si non esset hic malefactor, non tibi tradidissemus eum.
They answered, “If this man wasn’t a criminal, we wouldn’t have handed him over to you.”
31 Dixit ergo eis Pilatus: Accipite eum vos, et secundum legem vestram iudicate eum. Dixerunt ergo ei Iudæi: Nobis non licet interficere quemquam.
Then Pilate told them, “You take Him and judge Him according to your Law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It’s illegal for us to put anyone to death.”
32 Ut sermo Iesu impleretur, quem dixit, significans qua morte esset moriturus.
This happened so that the words would be fulfilled which Jesus had spoken indicating the kind of death he was going to die.
33 Introivit ergo iterum in prætorium Pilatus, et vocavit Iesum, et dixit ei: Tu es rex Iudæorum?
Then Pilate went back into the Praetorium, summoned Jesus, and asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
34 Respondit Iesus: A temetipso hoc dicis, an alii dixerunt tibi de me?
Jesus answered, “Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this about me?”
35 Respondit Pilatus: Numquid ego Iudæus sum? Gens tua, et pontifices tradiderunt te mihi: quid fecisti?
Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?”
36 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.
Jesus answered, “My kingdom doesn’t belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, then my servants would be fighting to keep me from being delivered up to the Jews; but as it is, my kingdom isn’t from here.”
37 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.
Pilate therefore asked Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You are right in saying that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify about the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”
38 Dicit ei Pilatus: Quid est veritas? Et cum hoc dixisset, iterum exivit ad Iudæos, et dicit eis: Ego nullam invenio in eo causam.
“What is truth?” Pilate asked. After asking this, he went out again to the Jews and said, “I find no basis for a charge against Him,
39 Est autem consuetudo vobis ut unum dimittam vobis in Pascha: vultis ergo dimittam vobis regem Iudæorum?
but you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore you decide: do you want me to release the King of the Jews to you?”
40 Clamaverunt ergo rursum omnes, dicentes: Non hunc, sed Barabbam. Erat autem Barabbas latro.
Then they all shouted back, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
