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 spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, 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 betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus 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.
Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 Iesus itaque sciens omnia, quæ ventura erant super eum, processit, et dixit eis: Quem quæritis?
Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to 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 him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
6 Ut ergo dixit eis: Ego sum: abierunt retrorsum, et ceciderunt in terram.
When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
7 Iterum ergo interrogavit eos: Quem quæritis? Illi autem dixerunt: Iesum Nazarenum.
Again therefore he asked them, “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 he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
9 Ut impleretur sermo, quem dixit: Quia quos dedisti mihi, non perdidi ex eis quemquam.
that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
10 Simon ergo Petrus habens gladium eduxit eum: et percussit pontificis servum: et abscidit auriculam eius dexteram. Erat autem nomen servo Malchus.
Simon Peter therefore, having 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 bibam illum?
Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”
12 Cohors ergo, et tribunus, et ministri Iudæorum comprehenderunt Iesum, et ligaverunt eum:
So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,
13 Et adduxerunt eum ad Annam primum, erat enim socer Caiphæ, qui erat pontifex anni illius.
and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 Erat autem Caiphas, qui consilium dederat Iudæis: Quia expedit, unum hominem mori pro populo.
Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should 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.
Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;
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 at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 Dicit ergo Petro ancilla ostiaria: Numquid et tu ex discipulis es hominis istius? Dicit ille: Non sum.
Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” 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 were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.
19 Pontifex ergo interrogavit Iesum de discipulis suis, et de doctrina eius.
The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
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 spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. 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 what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which I said.”
22 Hæc autem cum dixisset, unus assistens ministrorum dedit alapam Iesu, dicens: Sic respondes pontifici?
When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”
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 of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
24 Et misit eum Annas ligatum ad Caipham pontificem.
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.
Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “You aren’t also one of his disciples, are you?” 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?
One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?”
27 Iterum ergo negavit Petrus: et statim gallus cantavit.
Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the 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.
They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
29 Exivit ergo Pilatus ad eos foras, et dixit: Quam accusationem affertis adversus hominem hunc?
Pilate therefore 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 this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up 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.
Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,”
32 Ut sermo Iesu impleretur, quem dixit, significans qua morte esset moriturus.
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
33 Introivit ergo iterum in prætorium Pilatus, et vocavit Iesum, et dixit ei: Tu es rex Iudæorum?
Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
34 Respondit Iesus: A temetipso hoc dicis, an alii dixerunt tibi de me?
Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you 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 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 is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews. But now 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 therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should 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 Iudæos, et dicit eis: Ego nullam invenio in eo causam.
Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “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, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
40 Clamaverunt ergo rursum omnes, dicentes: Non hunc, sed Barabbam. Erat autem Barabbas latro.
Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
