Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.
1Et surgens omnis multitudo eorum, duxerunt illum ad Pilatum.
2They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”
2Cœperunt autem illum accusare, dicentes: Hunc invenimus subvertentem gentem nostram, et prohibentem tributa dare Cæsari, et dicentem se Christum regem esse.
3Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”
3Pilatus autem interrogavit eum, dicens: Tu es rex Judæorum? At ille respondens ait: Tu dicis.
4Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
4Ait autem Pilatus ad principes sacerdotum et turbas: Nihil invenio causæ in hoc homine.
5But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”
5At illi invalescebant, dicentes: Commovet populum docens per universam Judæam, incipiens a Galilæa usque huc.
6But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
6Pilatus autem audiens Galilæam, interrogavit si homo Galilæus esset.
7When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.
7Et ut cognovit quod de Herodis potestate esset, remisit eum ad Herodem, qui et ipse Jerosolymis erat illis diebus.
8Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.
8Herodes autem viso Jesu, gavisus est valde. Erat enim cupiens ex multo tempore videre eum, eo quod audierat multa de eo, et sperabat signum aliquod videre ab eo fieri.
9He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
9Interrogabat autem eum multis sermonibus. At ipse nihil illi respondebat.
10The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
10Stabant autem principes sacerdotum et scribæ constanter accusantes eum.
11Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
11Sprevit autem illum Herodes cum exercitu suo: et illusit indutum veste alba, et remisit ad Pilatum.
12Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
12Et facti sunt amici Herodes et Pilatus in ipsa die: nam antea inimici erant ad invicem.
13Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
13Pilatus autem, convocatis principibus sacerdotum, et magistratibus, et plebe,
14and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.
14dixit ad illos: Obtulistis mihi hunc hominem, quasi avertentem populum, et ecce ego coram vobis interrogans, nullam causam inveni in homine isto ex his in quibus eum accusatis.
15Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
15Sed neque Herodes: nam remisi vos ad illum, et ecce nihil dignum morte actum est ei.
16I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
16Emendatum ergo illum dimittam.
17Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.
17Necesse autem habebat dimittere eis per diem festum unum.
18But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—
18Exclamavit autem simul universa turba, dicens: Tolle hunc, et dimitte nobis Barabbam:
19one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
19qui erat propter seditionem quamdam factam in civitate et homicidium missus in carcerem.
20Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,
20Iterum autem Pilatus locutus est ad eos, volens dimittere Jesum.
21but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
21At illi succlamabant, dicentes: Crucifige, crucifige eum.
22He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
22Ille autem tertio dixit ad illos: Quid enim mali fecit iste? nullam causam mortis invenio in eo: corripiam ergo illum et dimittam.
23But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.
23At illi instabant vocibus magnis postulantes ut crucifigeretur: et invalescebant voces eorum.
24Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
24Et Pilatus adjudicavit fieri petitionem eorum.
25He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.
25Dimisit autem illis eum qui propter homicidium et seditionem missus fuerat in carcerem, quem petebant: Jesum vero tradidit voluntati eorum.
26When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry it after Jesus.
26Et cum ducerent eum, apprehenderunt Simonem quemdam Cyrenensem venientem de villa: et imposuerunt illi crucem portare post Jesum.
27A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.
27Sequebatur autem illum multa turba populi et mulierum, quæ plangebant et lamentabantur eum.
28But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
28Conversus autem ad illas Jesus, dixit: Filiæ Jerusalem, nolite flere super me, sed super vos ipsas flete et super filios vestros.
29For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’
29Quoniam ecce venient dies in quibus dicent: Beatæ steriles, et ventres qui non genuerunt, et ubera quæ non lactaverunt.
30Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’
30Tunc incipient dicere montibus: Cadite super nos; et collibus: Operite nos.
31For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”
31Quia si in viridi ligno hæc faciunt, in arido quid fiet?
32There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.
32Ducebantur autem et alii duo nequam cum eo, ut interficerentur.
33When they came to the place that is called “The Skull”, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
33Et postquam venerunt in locum qui vocatur Calvariæ, ibi crucifixerunt eum: et latrones, unum a dextris, et alterum a sinistris.
34Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.
34Jesus autem dicebat: Pater, dimitte illis: non enim sciunt quid faciunt. Dividentes vero vestimenta ejus, miserunt sortes.
35The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”
35Et stabat populus spectans, et deridebant eum principes cum eis, dicentes: Alios salvos fecit, se salvum faciat, si hic est Christus Dei electus.
36The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
36Illudebant autem ei et milites accedentes, et acetum offerentes ei,
37and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
37et dicentes: Si tu es rex Judæorum, salvum te fac.
38An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
38Erat autem et superscriptio scripta super eum litteris græcis, et latinis, et hebraicis: Hic est rex Judæorum.
39One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”
39Unus autem de his, qui pendebant, latronibus, blasphemabat eum, dicens: Si tu es Christus, salvum fac temetipsum et nos.
40But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
40Respondens autem alter increpabat eum, dicens: Neque tu times Deum, quod in eadem damnatione es.
41And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
41Et nos quidem juste, nam digna factis recipimus: hic vero nihil mali gessit.
42He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”
42Et dicebat ad Jesum: Domine, memento mei cum veneris in regnum tuum.
43Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
43Et dixit illi Jesus: Amen dico tibi: hodie mecum eris in paradiso.
44It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
44Erat autem fere hora sexta, et tenebræ factæ sunt in universam terram usque ad horam nonam.
45The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
45Et obscuratus est sol, et velum templi scissum est medium.
46Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.
46Et clamans voce magna Jesus ait: Pater, in manus tuas commendo spiritum meum. Et hæc dicens, expiravit.
47When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”
47Videns autem centurio quod factum fuerat, glorificavit Deum, dicens: Vere hic homo justus erat.
48All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their chests.
48Et omnis turba eorum, qui simul aderant ad spectaculum istud, et videbant quæ fiebant, percutientes pectora sua revertebantur.
49All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.
49Stabant autem omnes noti ejus a longe, et mulieres, quæ secutæ eum erant a Galilæa, hæc videntes.
50Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
50Et ecce vir nomine Joseph, qui erat decurio, vir bonus et justus:
51(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.
51hic non consenserat consilio, et actibus eorum: ab Arimathæa civitate Judææ, qui exspectabat et ipse regnum Dei:
52This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.
52hic accessit ad Pilatum et petiit corpus Jesu:
53He took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.
53et depositum involvit sindone, et posuit eum in monumento exciso, in quo nondum quisquam positus fuerat.
54It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
54Et dies erat parasceves, et sabbatum illucescebat.
55The women who had come with him out of Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
55Subsecutæ autem mulieres, quæ cum eo venerant de Galilæa, viderunt monumentum, et quemadmodum positum erat corpus ejus.
56They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
56Et revertentes paraverunt aromata, et unguenta: et sabbato quidem siluerunt secundum mandatum.
