< 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.
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
2 Sciebat autem et Iudas, qui tradebat eum, locum: quia frequenter Iesus convenerat illuc cum discipulis suis.
And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
3 Iudas ergo cum accepisset cohortem, et a Pontificibus, et Pharisaeis ministros, venit illuc cum laternis, et facibus, et armis.
Judas then, having received a band [of men] and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Iesus itaque sciens omnia, quae ventura erant super eum, processit, et dixit eis: Quem quaeritis?
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
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 saith unto them, I am [he]. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
6 Ut ergo dixit eis: Ego sum: abierunt retrorsum, et ceciderunt in terram.
As soon then as he had said unto them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Iterum ergo interrogavit eos: Quem quaeritis? Illi autem dixerunt: Iesum Nazarenum.
Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Respondit Iesus: Dixi vobis, quia ego sum: si ergo me quaeritis, sinite hos abire.
Jesus answered, I have told you that I am [he]: if therefore ye seek 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 spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
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 smote 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?
Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
12 Cohors ergo, et tribunus, et ministri Iudaeorum comprehenderunt Iesum, et ligaverunt eum:
Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
13 Et adduxerunt eum ad Annam primum, erat enim socer Caiphae, qui erat pontifex anni illius.
And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
14 Erat autem Caiphas, qui consilium dederat Iudaeis: Quia expedit, unum hominem mori pro populo.
Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to 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.
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and [so did] another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
16 Petrus autem stabat ad ostium foris. Exivit ergo discipulus alius, qui erat notus pontifici, et dixit ostiariae: et introduxit Petrum.
But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that 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 saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also [one] of this man’s disciples? He saith, 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.
And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
19 Pontifex ergo interrogavit Iesum de discipulis suis, et de doctrina eius.
The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
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 spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
21 Quid me interrogas? interroga eos, qui audierunt quid locutus sim ipsis: ecce hi sciunt quae dixerim ego.
Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
22 Haec autem cum dixisset, unus assistens ministrorum dedit alapam Iesu, dicens: Sic respondes pontifici?
And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
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 evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
24 Et misit eum Annas ligatum ad Caipham pontificem.
Now Annas had sent him bound unto 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.
And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also [one] of his disciples? 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 [his] kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27 Iterum ergo negavit Petrus: et statim gallus cantavit.
Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
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 led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
29 Exivit ergo Pilatus ad eos foras, et dixit: Quam accusationem affertis adversus hominem hunc?
Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
30 Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: Si non esset hic malefactor, non tibi tradidissemus eum.
They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.
31 Dixit ergo eis Pilatus: Accipite eum vos, et secundum legem vestram iudicate eum. Dixerunt ergo ei Iudaei: Nobis non licet interficere quemquam.
Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32 Ut sermo Iesu impleretur, quem dixit, significans qua morte esset moriturus.
That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
33 Introivit ergo iterum in praetorium Pilatus, et vocavit Iesum, et dixit ei: Tu es rex Iudaeorum?
Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
34 Respondit Iesus: A temetipso hoc dicis, an alii dixerunt tibi de me?
Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
35 Respondit Pilatus: Numquid ego Iudaeus sum? Gens tua, et pontifices tui tradiderunt te mihi: quid fecisti?
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou 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, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
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 unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth 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 saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault [at all].
39 Est autem consuetudo vobis ut unum dimittam vobis in Pascha: vultis ergo dimittam vobis regem Iudaeorum?
But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
40 Clamaverunt rursum omnes, dicentes: Non hunc, sed Barabbam. Erat autem Barabbas latro.
Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
