VUL
Hæc cum dixisset Jesus, egressus est cum discipulis suis trans torrentem Cedron, ubi erat hortus, in quem introivit ipse, et discipuli ejus.
BSB
BSB:
After Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where they entered a garden.
2
VUL
Sciebat autem et Judas, qui tradebat eum, locum: quia frequenter Jesus convenerat illuc cum discipulis suis.
BSB
BSB:
Now Judas His betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples.
3
VUL
Judas ergo cum accepisset cohortem, et a pontificibus et pharisæis ministros, venit illuc cum laternis, et facibus, et armis.
BSB
BSB:
So Judas brought a band of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees. They arrived at the garden carrying lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4
VUL
Jesus itaque sciens omnia quæ ventura erant super eum, processit, et dixit eis: Quem quæritis?
BSB
BSB:
Jesus, knowing all that was coming upon Him, stepped forward and asked them,
“Whom are you seeking?”
5
VUL
Responderunt ei: Jesum Nazarenum. Dicit eis Jesus: Ego sum. Stabat autem et Judas, qui tradebat eum, cum ipsis.
BSB
BSB:
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. Jesus said,
“I am He.”
And Judas His betrayer was standing there with them.
6
VUL
Ut ergo dixit eis: Ego sum: abierunt retrorsum, et ceciderunt in terram.
BSB
BSB:
When Jesus said,
“I am He,”
they drew back and fell to the ground.
7
VUL
Iterum ergo interrogavit eos: Quem quæritis? Illi autem dixerunt: Jesum Nazarenum.
BSB
BSB:
So He asked them again,
“Whom are you seeking?”
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.
8
VUL
Respondit Jesus: Dixi vobis, quia ego sum: si ergo me quæritis, sinite hos abire.
BSB
BSB:
“I told you that I am He,”
Jesus replied.
“So if you are looking for Me, let these men go.”
9
VUL
Ut impleretur sermo, quem dixit: Quia quos dedisti mihi, non perdidi ex eis quemquam.
BSB
BSB:
This was to fulfill the word He had spoken:
“I have not lost one of those You have given Me.”
10
VUL
Simon ergo Petrus habens gladium eduxit eum: et percussit pontificis servum, et abscidit auriculam ejus dexteram. Erat autem nomen servo Malchus.
BSB
BSB:
Then Simon Peter drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11
VUL
Dixit ergo Jesus Petro: Mitte gladium tuum in vaginam. Calicem, quem dedit mihi Pater, non bibam illum?
BSB
BSB:
“Put your sword back in its sheath!”
Jesus said to Peter.
“Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given Me?”
12
VUL
Cohors ergo, et tribunus, et ministri Judæorum comprehenderunt Jesum, et ligaverunt eum.
BSB
BSB:
Then the band of soldiers, with its commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him.
13
VUL
Et adduxerunt eum ad Annam primum: erat enim socer Caiphæ, qui erat pontifex anni illius.
BSB
BSB:
They brought Him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.
14
VUL
Erat autem Caiphas, qui consilium dederat Judæis: Quia expedit unum hominem mori pro populo.
BSB
BSB:
Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be better if one man died for the people.
15
VUL
Sequebatur autem Jesum Simon Petrus, et alius discipulus. Discipulus autem ille erat notus pontifici, et introivit cum Jesu in atrium pontificis.
BSB
BSB:
Now Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he also went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.
16
VUL
Petrus autem stabat ad ostium foris. Exivit ergo discipulus alius, qui erat notus pontifici, et dixit ostiariæ: et introduxit Petrum.
BSB
BSB:
But Peter stood outside at the door. Then the disciple who was known to the high priest went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.
17
VUL
Dicit ergo Petro ancilla ostiaria: Numquid et tu ex discipulis es hominis istius? Dicit ille: Non sum.
BSB
BSB:
At this, the servant girl watching the door said to Peter, “Aren’t you also one of this man’s disciples?” “I am not,” he answered.
18
VUL
Stabant autem servi et ministri ad prunas, quia frigus erat, et calefaciebant se: erat autem cum eis et Petrus stans, et calefaciens se.
BSB
BSB:
Because it was cold, the servants and officers were standing around a charcoal fire they had made to keep warm. And Peter was also standing with them, warming himself.
19
VUL
Pontifex ergo interrogavit Jesum de discipulis suis, et de doctrina ejus.
BSB
BSB:
Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.
20
VUL
Respondit ei Jesus: Ego palam locutus sum mundo: ego semper docui in synagoga, et in templo, quo omnes Judæi conveniunt, et in occulto locutus sum nihil.
BSB
BSB:
“I have spoken openly to the world,”
Jesus answered.
“I always taught in the synagogues and at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
21
VUL
Quid me interrogas? interroga eos qui audierunt quid locutus sim ipsis: ecce hi sciunt quæ dixerim ego.
BSB
BSB:
Why are you asking Me? Ask those who heard My message. Surely they know what I said.”
22
VUL
Hæc autem cum dixisset, unus assistens ministrorum dedit alapam Jesu, dicens: Sic respondes pontifici?
BSB
BSB:
When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped Him in the face and said, “Is this how You answer the high priest?”
23
VUL
Respondit ei Jesus: Si male locutus sum, testimonium perhibe de malo: si autem bene, quid me cædis?
BSB
BSB:
Jesus replied,
“If I said something wrong, testify as to what was wrong. But if I spoke correctly, why did you strike Me?”
24
VUL
Et misit eum Annas ligatum ad Caipham pontificem.
BSB
BSB:
Then Annas sent Him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.
25
VUL
Erat autem Simon Petrus stans, et calefaciens se. Dixerunt ergo ei: Numquid et tu ex discipulis ejus es? Negavit ille, et dixit: Non sum.
BSB
BSB:
Simon Peter was still standing and warming himself. So they asked him, “Aren’t you also one of His disciples?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
26
VUL
Dicit ei unus ex servis pontificis, cognatus ejus, cujus abscidit Petrus auriculam: Nonne ego te vidi in horto cum illo?
BSB
BSB:
One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Didn’t I see you with Him in the garden?”
27
VUL
Iterum ergo negavit Petrus: et statim gallus cantavit.
BSB
BSB:
Peter denied it once more, and immediately a rooster crowed.
28
VUL
Adducunt ergo Jesum a Caipha in prætorium. Erat autem mane: et ipsi non introierunt in prætorium, ut non contaminarentur, sed ut manducarent Pascha.
BSB
BSB:
Then they led Jesus away from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. By now it was early morning, and the Jews did not enter the Praetorium, to avoid being defiled and unable to eat the Passover.
29
VUL
Exivit ergo Pilatus ad eos foras, et dixit: Quam accusationem affertis adversus hominem hunc?
BSB
BSB:
So Pilate went out to them and asked, “What accusation are you bringing against this man?”
30
VUL
Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: Si non esset hic malefactor, non tibi tradidissemus eum.
BSB
BSB:
“If He were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed Him over to you.”
31
VUL
Dixit ergo eis Pilatus: Accipite eum vos, et secundum legem vestram judicate eum. Dixerunt ergo ei Judæi: Nobis non licet interficere quemquam.
BSB
BSB:
“You take Him and judge Him by your own law,” Pilate told them. “We are not permitted to execute anyone,” the Jews replied.
32
VUL
Ut sermo Jesu impleretur, quem dixit, significans qua morte esset moriturus.
BSB
BSB:
This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
33
VUL
Introivit ergo iterum in prætorium Pilatus: et vocavit Jesum, et dixit ei: Tu es rex Judæorum?
BSB
BSB:
Pilate went back into the Praetorium, summoned Jesus, and asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
34
VUL
Respondit Jesus: A temetipso hoc dicis, an alii dixerunt tibi de me?
BSB
BSB:
“Are you saying this on your own,”
Jesus asked,
“or did others tell you about Me?”
35
VUL
Respondit Pilatus: Numquid ego Judæus sum? gens tua et pontifices tradiderunt te mihi: quid fecisti?
BSB
BSB:
“Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed You over to me. What have You done?”
36
VUL
Respondit Jesus: Regnum meum non est de hoc mundo. Si ex hoc mundo esset regnum meum, ministri mei utique decertarent ut non traderer Judæis: nunc autem regnum meum non est hinc.
BSB
BSB:
Jesus answered,
“My kingdom is not of this world; if it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now My kingdom is not of this realm.”
37
VUL
Dixit itaque ei Pilatus: Ergo rex es tu? Respondit Jesus: 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.
BSB
BSB:
“Then You are a king!” Pilate said.
“You say that I am a king,”
Jesus answered.
“For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice.”
38
VUL
Dicit ei Pilatus: Quid est veritas? Et cum hoc dixisset, iterum exivit ad Judæos, et dicit eis: Ego nullam invenio in eo causam.
BSB
BSB:
“What is truth?” Pilate asked. And having said this, he went out again to the Jews and told them, “I find no basis for a charge against Him.
39
VUL
Est autem consuetudo vobis ut unum dimittam vobis in Pascha: vultis ergo dimittam vobis regem Judæorum?
BSB
BSB:
But it is your custom that I release to you one prisoner at the Passover. So then, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
40
VUL
Clamaverunt ergo rursum omnes, dicentes: Non hunc, sed Barabbam. Erat autem Barabbas latro.
BSB
BSB:
“Not this man,” they shouted, “but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.)
