Iohannem 18
1 Haec cum dixisset Iesus, egressus est cum discipulis suis trans Torrentem Cedron, ubi erat hortus, in quem introivit ipse, et discipuli eius.
After saying these things, Jesus went out with his disciples across the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, which he entered along with his disciples.
2 Sciebat autem et Iudas, qui tradebat eum, locum: quia frequenter Iesus convenerat illuc cum discipulis suis.
Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.
3 Iudas ergo cum accepisset cohortem, et a Pontificibus, et Pharisaeis ministros, venit illuc cum laternis, et facibus, et armis.
So Judas took a cohort of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, and they went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 Iesus itaque sciens omnia, quae ventura erant super eum, processit, et dixit eis: Quem quaeritis?
Then Jesus, knowing everything that would happen to him, went out and said to them, “Whom do you seek?”
5 Responderunt ei: Iesum Nazarenum. Dicit eis Iesus: Ego sum. Stabat autem et Iudas, qui tradebat eum, cum ipsis.
They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” (Judas, who betrayed him, was also standing with them.)
6 Ut ergo dixit eis: Ego sum: abierunt retrorsum, et ceciderunt in terram.
When Jesus said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Iterum ergo interrogavit eos: Quem quaeritis? Illi autem dixerunt: Iesum Nazarenum.
So again he asked them, “Whom do you seek?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
8 Respondit Iesus: Dixi vobis, quia ego sum: si ergo me quaeritis, sinite hos abire.
Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So if you are seeking me, let these men go.”
9 Ut impleretur sermo, quem dixit: Quia quos dedisti mihi, non perdidi ex eis quemquam.
He said this to fulfill the word he had spoken: “I have not lost a single one of those yoʋ have given 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, who had a sword, drew it, 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 vis ut bibam illum?
But Jesus said to Peter, “Put yoʋr sword back in its sheath; shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?”
12 Cohors ergo, et tribunus, et ministri Iudaeorum comprehenderunt Iesum, et ligaverunt eum:
Then the cohort of soldiers, along with its commander and the Jewish officers, arrested Jesus, bound him,
13 Et adduxerunt eum ad Annam primum, erat enim socer Caiphae, qui erat pontifex anni illius.
and led him away first to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 Erat autem Caiphas, qui consilium dederat Iudaeis: Quia expedit, unum hominem mori pro populo.
(It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was better for one man to perish 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.
Now Simon Peter was following Jesus, as was the other disciple. That disciple was known to the high priest, so he went with Jesus into the high priest's courtyard,
16 Petrus autem stabat ad ostium foris. Exivit ergo discipulus alius, qui erat notus pontifici, et dixit ostiariae: et introduxit Petrum.
but Peter stood outside at the gate. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out, spoke to the gatekeeper, and brought Peter in.
17 Dicit ergo Petro ancilla ostiaria: Numquid et tu ex discipulis es hominis istius? Dicit ille: Non sum.
Then the servant girl who was the gatekeeper said to Peter, “Yoʋ are not also one of this man's disciples, are yoʋ?” 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.
(Now the servants and the officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing there warming themselves. Peter was also standing with them, warming himself.)
19 Pontifex ergo interrogavit Iesum de discipulis suis, et de doctrina eius.
Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
20 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.
Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogues and in the temple courts, where the Jews always assemble together. I have said nothing in secret.
21 Quid me interrogas? interroga eos, qui audierunt quid locutus sim ipsis: ecce hi sciunt quae dixerim ego.
Why do yoʋ question me? Question those who heard what I said to them. Behold, they know what I said.”
22 Haec autem cum dixisset, unus assistens ministrorum dedit alapam Iesu, dicens: Sic respondes pontifici?
When Jesus said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped him and said, “Is that how yoʋ answer the high priest?”
23 Respondit ei Iesus: Si male locutus sum, testimonium perhibe de malo: si autem bene, quid me caedis?
Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify as to what was wrong; but if I have spoken well, why are yoʋ hitting me?”
24 Et misit eum Annas ligatum ad Caipham pontificem.
Then Annas sent him 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.
Meanwhile, Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “Yoʋ are not also one of his disciples, are yoʋ?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
26 Dicit ei unus ex servis pontificis, cognatus eius, cuius abscidit Petrus auriculam: Nonne ego te vidi in horto cum illo?
But one of the servants of the high priest, who was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Did I not see yoʋ with him in the garden?”
27 Iterum ergo negavit Petrus: et statim gallus cantavit.
Peter denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
28 Adducunt ergo Iesum a Caipha in praetorium. Erat autem mane: et ipsi non introierunt in praetorium, ut non contaminarentur, sed ut manducarent Pascha.
Then the Jews led Jesus away from Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters. It was now early in the morning. They themselves did not go into the governor's headquarters so that they would not be defiled, but could eat the Passover.
29 Exivit ergo Pilatus ad eos foras, et dixit: Quam accusationem affertis adversus hominem hunc?
So Pilate went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
30 Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: Si non esset hic malefactor, non tibi tradidissemus eum.
They answered him, “If he were not an evildoer, we would not have handed him over to yoʋ.”
31 Dixit ergo eis Pilatus: Accipite eum vos, et secundum legem vestram iudicate eum. Dixerunt ergo ei Iudaei: Nobis non licet interficere quemquam.
Pilate said to them, “You take him and judge him according to your own law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.”
32 Ut sermo Iesu impleretur, quem dixit, significans qua morte esset moriturus.
(This happened to fulfill what Jesus had said when he indicated the kind of death he was going to die.)
33 Introivit ergo iterum in praetorium Pilatus, et vocavit Iesum, et dixit ei: Tu es rex Iudaeorum?
Then Pilate went into his headquarters again, called Jesus over, and said to him, “Are yoʋ the king of the Jews?”
34 Respondit Iesus: A temetipso hoc dicis, an alii dixerunt tibi de me?
Jesus answered him, “Do yoʋ say this of yoʋr own accord, or have others spoken to yoʋ about me?”
35 Respondit Pilatus: Numquid ego Iudaeus sum? Gens tua, et pontifices tui tradiderunt te mihi: quid fecisti?
Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Yoʋr own nation and the chief priests have handed yoʋ over to me. What have yoʋ 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 Iudaeis: nunc autem regnum meum non est hinc.
Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would be fighting to keep me from being delivered up to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not 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 said to him, “So yoʋ are a king?” Jesus answered, “Yoʋ have said yoʋrself that I am a king. The reason I was born and the reason I came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
38 Dicit ei Pilatus: Quid est veritas? Et cum hoc dixisset, iterum exivit ad Iudaeos, et dicit eis: Ego nullam invenio in eo causam.
Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” After he said this, he again went out to the Jews and said to them, “I find no fault in him.
39 Est autem consuetudo vobis ut unum dimittam vobis in Pascha: vultis ergo dimittam vobis regem Iudaeorum?
But you have a custom that I release for you one man at the Passover. So do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?”
40 Clamaverunt rursum omnes, dicentes: Non hunc, sed Barabbam. Erat autem Barabbas latro.
They all cried out again, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.)
