Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1When Jesus had finished all these words, he said to his disciples,
1Et factum est: cum consummasset Jesus sermones hos omnes, dixit discipulis suis:
2“You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
2Scitis quia post biduum Pascha fiet, et Filius hominis tradetur ut crucifigatur.
3Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
3Tunc congregati sunt principes sacerdotum, et seniores populi, in atrium principis sacerdotum, qui dicebatur Caiphas:
4They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit and kill him.
4et consilium fecerunt ut Jesum dolo tenerent, et occiderent.
5But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people.”
5Dicebant autem: Non in die festo, ne forte tumultus fieret in populo.
6Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
6Cum autem Jesus esset in Bethania in domo Simonis leprosi,
7a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.
7accessit ad eum mulier habens alabastrum unguenti pretiosi, et effudit super caput ipsius recumbentis.
8But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?
8Videntes autem discipuli, indignati sunt, dicentes: Ut quid perditio hæc?
9For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
9potuit enim istud venundari multo, et dari pauperibus.
10However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a good work for me.
10Sciens autem Jesus, ait illis: Quid molesti estis huic mulieri? opus enim bonum operata est in me.
11For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.
11Nam semper pauperes habetis vobiscum: me autem non semper habetis.
12For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
12Mittens enim hæc unguentum hoc in corpus meum, ad sepeliendum me fecit.
13Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her.”
13Amen dico vobis, ubicumque prædicatum fuerit hoc Evangelium in toto mundo, dicetur et quod hæc fecit in memoriam ejus.
14Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
14Tunc abiit unus de duodecim, qui dicebatur Judas Iscariotes, ad principes sacerdotum:
15and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?” So they weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.
15et ait illis: Quid vultis mihi dare, et ego vobis eum tradam? At illi constituerunt ei triginta argenteos.
16From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
16Et exinde quærebat opportunitatem ut eum traderet.
17Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
17Prima autem die azymorum accesserunt discipuli ad Jesum, dicentes: Ubi vis paremus tibi comedere Pascha?
18He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.”’”
18At Jesus dixit: Ite in civitatem ad quemdam, et dicite ei: Magister dicit: Tempus meum prope est, apud te facio Pascha cum discipulis meis.
19The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.
19Et fecerunt discipuli sicut constituit illis Jesus, et paraverunt Pascha.
20Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.
20Vespere autem facto, discumbebat cum duodecim discipulis suis.
21As they were eating, he said, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
21Et edentibus illis, dixit: Amen dico vobis, quia unus vestrum me traditurus est.
22They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’t me, is it, Lord?”
22Et contristati valde, cœperunt singuli dicere: Numquid ego sum Domine?
23He answered, “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me.
23At ipse respondens, ait: Qui intingit mecum manum in paropside, hic me tradet.
24The Son of Man goes even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”
24Filius quidem hominis vadit, sicut scriptum est de illo: væ autem homini illi, per quem Filius hominis tradetur ! bonum erat ei, si natus non fuisset homo ille.
25Judas, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You said it.”
25Respondens autem Judas, qui tradidit eum, dixit: Numquid ego sum Rabbi? Ait illi: Tu dixisti.
26As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”
26Cœnantibus autem eis, accepit Jesus panem, et benedixit, ac fregit, deditque discipulis suis, et ait: Accipite, et comedite: hoc est corpus meum.
27He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it,
27Et accipiens calicem, gratias egit: et dedit illis, dicens: Bibite ex hoc omnes.
28for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.
28Hic est enim sanguis meus novi testamenti, qui pro multis effundetur in remissionem peccatorum.
29But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”
29Dico autem vobis: non bibam amodo de hoc genimine vitis usque in diem illum, cum illud bibam vobiscum novum in regno Patris mei.
30When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
30Et hymno dicto, exierunt in montem Oliveti.
31Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
31Tunc dicit illis Jesus: Omnes vos scandalum patiemini in me in ista nocte. Scriptum est enim: Percutiam pastorem, et dispergentur oves gregis.
32But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”
32Postquam autem resurrexero, præcedam vos in Galilæam.
33But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”
33Respondens autem Petrus, ait illi: Et si omnes scandalizati fuerint in te, ego numquam scandalizabor.
34Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
34Ait illi Jesus: Amen dico tibi, quia in hac nocte, antequam gallus cantet, ter me negabis.
35Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise.
35Ait illi Petrus: Etiamsi oportuerit me mori tecum, non te negabo. Similiter et omnes discipuli dixerunt.
36Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.”
36Tunc venit Jesus cum illis in villam, quæ dicitur Gethsemani, et dixit discipulis suis: Sedete hic donec vadam illuc, et orem.
37He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.
37Et assumpto Petro, et duobus filiis Zebedæi, cœpit contristari et mœstus esse.
38Then Jesus said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with me.”
38Tunc ait illis: Tristis est anima mea usque ad mortem: sustinete hic, et vigilate mecum.
39He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
39Et progressus pusillum, procidit in faciem suam, orans, et dicens: Pater mi, si possibile est, transeat a me calix iste: verumtamen non sicut ego volo, sed sicut tu.
40He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour?
40Et venit ad discipulos suos, et invenit eos dormientes, et dicit Petro: Sic non potuistis una hora vigilare mecum?
41Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
41Vigilate, et orate ut non intretis in tentationem. Spiritus quidem promptus est, caro autem infirma.
42Again, a second time he went away and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.”
42Iterum secundo abiit, et oravit, dicens: Pater mi, si non potest hic calix transire nisi bibam illum, fiat voluntas tua.
43He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
43Et venit iterum, et invenit eos dormientes: erant enim oculi eorum gravati.
44He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.
44Et relictis illis, iterum abiit, et oravit tertio, eumdem sermonem dicens.
45Then he came to his disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
45Tunc venit ad discipulos suos, et dicit illis: Dormite jam, et requiescite: ecce appropinquavit hora, et Filius hominis tradetur in manus peccatorum.
46Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
46Surgite, eamus: ecce appropinquavit qui me tradet.
47While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
47Adhuc eo loquente, ecce Judas unus de duodecim venit, et cum eo turba multa cum gladiis et fustibus, missi a principibus sacerdotum, et senioribus populi.
48Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.”
48Qui autem tradidit eum, dedit illis signum, dicens: Quemcumque osculatus fuero, ipse est, tenete eum.
49Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
49Et confestim accedens ad Jesum, dixit: Ave Rabbi. Et osculatus est eum.
50Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
50Dixitque illi Jesus: Amice, ad quid venisti? Tunc accesserunt, et manus injecerunt in Jesum, et tenuerunt eum.
51Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
51Et ecce unus ex his qui erant cum Jesu, extendens manum, exemit gladium suum, et percutiens servum principis sacerdotum amputavit auriculam ejus.
52Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.
52Tunc ait illi Jesus: Converte gladium tuum in locum suum: omnes enim, qui acceperint gladium, gladio peribunt.
53Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
53An putas, quia non possum rogare patrem meum, et exhibebit mihi modo plusquam duodecim legiones angelorum?
54How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”
54Quomodo ergo implebuntur Scripturæ, quia sic oportet fieri?
55In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.
55In illa hora dixit Jesus turbis: Tamquam ad latronem existis cum gladiis et fustibus comprehendere me: quotidie apud vos sedebam docens in templo, et non me tenuistis.
56But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.
56Hoc autem totum factum est, ut adimplerentur Scripturæ prophetarum. Tunc discipuli omnes, relicto eo, fugerunt.
57Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
57At illi tenentes Jesum, duxerunt ad Caipham principem sacerdotum, ubi scribæ et seniores convenerant.
58But Peter followed him from a distance to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.
58Petrus autem sequebatur eum a longe, usque in atrium principis sacerdotum. Et ingressus intro, sedebat cum ministris, ut videret finem.
59Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death,
59Principes autem sacerdotum, et omne concilium, quærebant falsum testimonium contra Jesum, ut eum morti traderent:
60and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward
60et non invenerunt, cum multi falsi testes accessissent. Novissime autem venerunt duo falsi testes,
61and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”
61et dixerunt: Hic dixit: Possum destruere templum Dei, et post triduum reædificare illud.
62The high priest stood up and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”
62Et surgens princeps sacerdotum, ait illi: Nihil respondes ad ea, quæ isti adversum te testificantur?
63But Jesus stayed silent. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”
63Jesus autem tacebat. Et princeps sacerdotum ait illi: Adjuro te per Deum vivum, ut dicas nobis si tu es Christus Filius Dei.
64Jesus said to him, “You have said so. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”
64Dicit illi Jesus: Tu dixisti. Verumtamen dico vobis, amodo videbitis Filium hominis sedentem a dextris virtutis Dei, et venientem in nubibus cæli.
65Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.
65Tunc princeps sacerdotum scidit vestimenta sua, dicens: Blasphemavit: quid adhuc egemus testibus? ecce nunc audistis blasphemiam:
66What do you think?” They answered, “He is worthy of death!”
66quid vobis videtur? At illi respondentes dixerunt: Reus est mortis.
67Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,
67Tunc exspuerunt in faciem ejus, et colaphis eum ceciderunt, alii autem palmas in faciem ejus dederunt,
68saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?”
68dicentes: Prophetiza nobis Christe, quis est qui te percussit?
69Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!”
69Petrus vero sedebat foris in atrio: et accessit ad eum una ancilla, dicens: Et tu cum Jesu Galilæo eras.
70But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
70At ille negavit coram omnibus, dicens: Nescio quid dicis.
71When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
71Exeunte autem illo januam, vidit eum alia ancilla, et ait his qui erant ibi: Et hic erat cum Jesu Nazareno.
72Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”
72Et iterum negavit cum juramento: Quia non novi hominem.
73After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”
73Et post pusillum accesserunt qui stabant, et dixerunt Petro: Vere et tu ex illis es: nam et loquela tua manifestum te facit.
74Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.
74Tunc cœpit detestari et jurare quia non novisset hominem. Et continuo gallus cantavit.
75Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Then he went out and wept bitterly.
75Et recordatus est Petrus verbi Jesu, quod dixerat: Priusquam gallus cantet, ter me negabis. Et egressus foras, flevit amare.
