1Et factum est:And it happened that,cum consummasset Jesus sermones hos omnes,when Jesus had completed all these words,dixit discipulis suis:he said to his disciples,

2Scitis quia post biduum Pascha fiet,“You know that after two days the Passover will begin,et Filius hominis tradetur ut crucifigatur.and the Son of man will be handed over to be crucified.”

3Tunc congregati sunt principes sacerdotum, et seniores populi, in atrium principis sacerdotum,Then the leaders of the priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest,qui dicebatur Caiphas:who was called Caiaphas.

4et consilium fecerunt ut Jesum dolo tenerent,And they took counsel so that by deceitfulness they might take hold of Jesuset occiderent.and kill him.

5Dicebant autem:But they said,Non in die festo,“Not on the feast day,ne forte tumultus fieret in populo.lest perhaps there may be a tumult among the people.”

6Cum autem Jesus esset in Bethania in domo Simonis leprosi,And when Jesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper,

7accessit ad eum mulier habens alabastrum unguenti pretiosi,a woman drew near to him, holding an alabaster box of precious ointment,et effudit super caput ipsius recumbentis.and she poured it over his head while he was reclining at table.

8Videntes autem discipuli,But the disciples, seeing this,indignati sunt,were indignant, saying:dicentes: Ut quid perditio hæc?“What is the purpose of this waste?

9potuit enim istud venundari multo,For this could have been sold for a great deal,et dari pauperibus.so as to be given to the poor.”

10Sciens autem Jesus,But Jesus, knowing this,ait illis:said to them:Quid molesti estis huic mulieri?“Why are you bothering this woman?opus enim bonum operata est in me.For she has done a good deed to me.

11Nam semper pauperes habetis vobiscum:For the poor you will always have with you.me autem non semper habetis.But you will not always have me.

12Mittens enim hæc unguentum hoc in corpus meum,For in pouring this ointment on my body,ad sepeliendum me fecit.she has prepared for my burial.

13Amen dico vobis,Amen I say to you,ubicumque prædicatum fuerit hoc Evangelium in toto mundo,wherever this Gospel will be preached in the whole world,diceturwhat she has done also shall be told,et quod hæc fecit in memoriam ejus.in memory of her.”

14Tunc abiit unus de duodecim,Then one of the twelve,qui dicebatur Judas Iscariotes,who was called Judas Iscariot,ad principes sacerdotum:went to the leaders of the priests,

15et ait illis:and he said to them,Quid vultis mihi dare,“What are you willing to give me,et ego vobis eum tradam?if I hand him over to you?”At illi constituerunt ei triginta argenteos.So they appointed thirty pieces of silver for him.

16Et exinde quærebat opportunitatem ut eum traderet.And from then on, he sought an opportunity to betray him.

17Prima autem die azymorum accesserunt discipuli ad Jesum,Then, on the first day of Unleavened Bread, the disciples approached Jesus,dicentes: Ubi vis paremus tibi comedere Pascha?saying, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”

18At Jesus dixit:So Jesus said,Ite in civitatem ad quemdam,“Go into the city, to a certain one,et dicite ei:and say to him:Magister dicit:‘The Teacher said:Tempus meum prope est,My time is near.apud te facio Pascha cum discipulis meis.I am observing the Passover with you, along with my disciples.’”

19Et fecerunt discipuli sicut constituit illis Jesus,And the disciples did just as Jesus appointed to them.et paraverunt Pascha.And they prepared the Passover.

20Vespere autem facto,Then, when evening arrived,discumbebat cum duodecim discipulis suis.he sat at table with his twelve disciples.

21Et edentibus illis,And while they were eating,dixit:he said:Amen dico vobis,“Amen I say to you,quia unus vestrum me traditurus est.that one of you is about to betray me.”

22Et contristati valde,And being greatly saddened,cœperunt singuli dicere:each one of them began to say,Numquid ego sum Domine?“Surely, it is not I, Lord?”

23At ipse respondens, ait:But he responded by saying:Qui intingit mecum manum in paropside,“He who dips his hand with me into the dish,hic me tradet.the same will betray me.

24Filius quidem hominis vadit,Indeed, the Son of man goes,sicut scriptum est de illo:just as it has been written about him.væ autem homini illi, per quem Filius hominis tradetur!But woe to that man by whom the Son of man will be betrayed.bonum erat ei, si natus non fuisset homo ille.It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”

25Respondens autem Judas,Then Judas, who betrayed him,qui tradidit eum,responded by saying,dixit:“Surely,Numquid ego sum Rabbi?it is not I, Master?”Ait illi:He said to him,Tu dixisti.“You have said it.”

26Cœnantibus autem eis,Now while they were eating the meal,accepit Jesus panem,Jesus took bread,et benedixit,and he blessedac fregit,and brokededitque discipulis suis,and gave it to his disciples,et ait:and he said:Accipite,“Takeet comedite:and eat.hoc est corpus meum.This is my body.”

27Et accipiens calicem,And taking the chalice,gratias egit:he gave thanks.et dedit illis,And he gave it to them,dicens:saying:Bibite ex hoc omnes.“Drink from this, all of you.

28Hic est enim sanguis meus novi testamenti,For this is my blood of the new covenant,qui pro multis effundetur in remissionem peccatorum.which shall be shed for many as a remission of sins.

29Dico autem vobis:But I say to you,non bibam amodo de hoc genimine vitis usque in diem illum,I will not drink again from this fruit of the vine,cum illud bibam vobiscum novum in regno Patris mei.until that day when I will drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.”

30Et hymno dicto,And after a hymn was sung,exierunt in montem Oliveti.they went out to the Mount of Olives.

31Tunc dicit illis Jesus:Then Jesus said to them:Omnes vos scandalum patiemini in me in ista nocte.“You will all fall away from me in this night.Scriptum est enim:For it has been written:Percutiam pastorem,‘I will strike the shepherd,et dispergentur oves gregis.and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

32Postquam autem resurrexero,But after I have risen again,præcedam vos in Galilæam.I will go before you to Galilee.”

33Respondens autem Petrus, ait illi:Then Peter responded by saying to him,Et si omnes scandalizati fuerint in te,“Even if everyone else has fallen away from you,ego numquam scandalizabor.I will never fall away.”

34Ait illi Jesus:Jesus said to him,Amen dico tibi,“Amen I say to you,quia in hac nocte,that in this night,antequam gallus cantet,before the rooster crows,ter me negabis.you will deny me three times.”

35Ait illi Petrus:Peter said to him,Etiamsi oportuerit me mori tecum,“Even if it is necessary for me to die with you,non te negabo.I will not deny you.”Similiter et omnes discipuli dixerunt.And all the disciples spoke similarly.

36Tunc venit Jesus cum illis in villam,Then Jesus went with them to a garden,quæ dicitur Gethsemani,which is called Gethsemani.et dixit discipulis suis:And he said to his disciples,Sedete hic donec vadam illuc,“Sit down here,et orem.while I go there and pray.”

37Et assumpto Petro, et duobus filiis Zebedæi,And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee,cœpit contristari et mœstus esse.he began to be sorrowful and saddened.

38Tunc ait illis:Then he said to them:Tristis est anima mea usque ad mortem:“My soul is sorrowful,sustinete hic,even unto death.et vigilate mecum.Stay here and keep vigil with me.”

39Et progressus pusillum,And continuing on a little further,procidit in faciem suam,he fell prostrate on his face,orans,praying and saying:et dicens:“My Father,Pater mi,if it is possible,si possibile est,let this chalice pass away from me.transeat a me calix iste:Yet truly,verumtamen non sicut ego volo,let it not be as I will,sed sicut tu.but as you will.”

40Et venit ad discipulos suos,And he approached his disciples and found them sleeping.et invenit eos dormientes,And he said to Peter:et dicit Petro:“So,Sic non potuistis una hora vigilare mecum?were you not able to keep vigil with me for one hour?

41Vigilate, et orate ut non intretis in tentationem.Be vigilant and pray, so that you may not enter into temptation.Spiritus quidem promptus est,Indeed, the spirit is willing,caro autem infirma.but the flesh is weak.”

42Iterum secundo abiit,Again, a second time,et oravit,he went and prayed,dicens:saying,Pater mi,“My Father,si non potest hic calix transire nisi bibam illum,if this chalice cannot pass away, unless I drink it,fiat voluntas tua.let your will be done.”

43Et venit iterum,And again,et invenit eos dormientes:he went and found them sleeping,erant enim oculi eorum gravati.for their eyes were heavy.

44Et relictis illis,And leaving them behind,iterum abiit,again he wentet oravit tertio,and prayed for the third time,eumdem sermonem dicens.saying the same words.

45Tunc venit ad discipulos suos, et dicit illis:Then he approached his disciples and said to them:Dormite jam, et requiescite:“Sleep now and rest. Behold,ecce appropinquavit hora,the hour has drawn near,et Filius hominis tradetur in manus peccatorum.and the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of sinners.

46Surgite, eamus:Rise up; let us go.ecce appropinquavit qui me tradet.Behold, he who will betray me draws near.”

47Adhuc eo loquente,While he was still speaking,ecce Judas unus de duodecim venit,behold, Judas, one of the twelve,et cum eo turba multa cum gladiis et fustibus,arrived, and with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs,missi a principibus sacerdotum, et senioribus populi.sent from the leaders of the priests and the elders of the people.

48Qui autem tradidit eum, dedit illis signum,And he who betrayed him gave them a sign,dicens:saying:Quemcumque osculatus fuero,“Whomever I will kiss, it is he.ipse est, tenete eum.Take hold of him.”

49Et confestim accedens ad Jesum,And quickly drawing close to Jesus,dixit:he said,Ave Rabbi.“Hail, Master.”Et osculatus est eum.And he kissed him.

50Dixitque illi Jesus:And Jesus said to him,Amice,“Friend,ad quid venisti?for what purpose have you come?”Tunc accesserunt,Then they approached,et manus injecerunt in Jesum,and they put their hands on Jesus,et tenuerunt eum.and they held him.

51Et ecce unus ex his qui erant cum Jesu, extendens manum,And behold, one of those who were with Jesus,exemit gladium suum,extending his hand,et percutiens servum principis sacerdotum amputavit auriculam ejus.drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

52Tunc ait illi Jesus:Then Jesus said to him:Converte gladium tuum in locum suum:“Put your sword back in its place.omnes enim, qui acceperint gladium, gladio peribunt.For all who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.

53An putas, quia non possum rogare patrem meum,Or do you think that I cannot ask my Father,et exhibebit mihi modo plusquam duodecim legiones angelorum?so that he would give me, even now, more than twelve legions of Angels?

54Quomodo ergo implebuntur Scripturæ,How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled,quia sic oportet fieri?which say that it must be so?”

55In illa hora dixit Jesus turbis:In that same hour, Jesus said to the crowds:Tamquam ad latronem existis cum gladiis et fustibus comprehendere me:“You went out, as if to a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me.quotidie apud vos sedebam docens in templo,Yet I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple,et non me tenuistis.and you did not take hold of me.

56Hoc autem totum factum est, ut adimplerentur Scripturæ prophetarum.But all this has happened so that the Scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled.”Tunc discipuli omnes,Then all the disciples fled,relicto eo, fugerunt.abandoning him.

57At illi tenentes Jesum,But those who were holding Jesus led him to Caiaphas,duxerunt ad Caipham principem sacerdotum,the high priest,ubi scribæ et seniores convenerant.where the scribes and the elders had joined together.

58Petrus autem sequebatur eum a longe,Then Peter followed him from a distance,usque in atrium principis sacerdotum.as far as the court of the high priest.Et ingressus intro,And going inside,sedebat cum ministris,he sat down with the servants,ut videret finem.so that he might see the end.

59Principes autem sacerdotum, et omne concilium, quærebant falsum testimonium contra Jesum,Then the leaders of the priests and the entire council sought false testimony against Jesus,ut eum morti traderent:so that they might deliver him to death.

60et non invenerunt,And they did not find any,cum multi falsi testes accessissent.even though many false witnesses had come forward.Novissime autem venerunt duo falsi testes,Then, at the very end, two false witnesses came forward,

61et dixerunt:and they said,Hic dixit:“This man said:Possum destruere templum Dei,‘I am able to destroy the temple of God,et post triduum reædificare illud.and, after three days, to rebuild it.’”

62Et surgens princeps sacerdotum,And the high priest,ait illi:rising up,Nihil respondes ad ea,said to him,quæ isti adversum te testificantur?“Have you nothing to respond to what these ones testify against you?”

63Jesus autem tacebat.But Jesus was silent.Et princeps sacerdotum ait illi:And the high priest said to him,Adjuro te per Deum vivum,“I bind you by an oath to the living God to tell us if you are the Christ,ut dicas nobis si tu es Christus Filius Dei.the Son of God.”

64Dicit illi Jesus:Jesus said to him:Tu dixisti.“You have said it.Verumtamen dico vobis,Yet truly I say to you,amodo videbitis Filium hominis sedentem a dextris virtutis Dei,hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the power of God,et venientem in nubibus cæli.and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

65Tunc princeps sacerdotum scidit vestimenta sua,Then the high priest tore his garments, saying:dicens: Blasphemavit:“He has blasphemed.quid adhuc egemus testibus?Why do we still need witnesses?ecce nunc audistis blasphemiam:Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy.

66quid vobis videtur?How does it seem to you?”At illi respondentes dixerunt:So they responded by saying,Reus est mortis.“He is guilty unto death.”

67Tunc exspuerunt in faciem ejus,Then they spit in his face,et colaphis eum ceciderunt,and they struck him with fists.alii autem palmas in faciem ejus dederunt,And others struck his face with the palms of their hands,

68dicentes:saying:Prophetiza nobis Christe,“Prophesy for us, O Christ.quis est qui te percussit?Who is the one that struck you?”

69Petrus vero sedebat foris in atrio:Yet truly, Peter sat outside in the courtyard.et accessit ad eum una ancilla,And a maidservant approached him,dicens:saying,Et tu cum Jesu Galilæo eras.“You also were with Jesus the Galilean.”

70At ille negavit coram omnibus,But he denied it in the sight of them all,dicens:saying,Nescio quid dicis.“I do not know what you are saying.”

71Exeunte autem illo januam,Then, as he exited by the gate,vidit eum alia ancilla,another maidservant saw him.et ait his qui erant ibi:And she said to those who were there,Et hic erat cum Jesu Nazareno.“This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

72Et iterum negavit cum juramento:And again, he denied it with an oath,Quia non novi hominem.“For I do not know the man.”

73Et post pusillum accesserunt qui stabant, et dixerunt Petro:And after a little while, those who were standing nearby came and said to Peter:Vere et tu ex illis es:“Truly, you also are one of them.nam et loquela tua manifestum te facit.For even your manner of speaking reveals you.”

74Tunc cœpit detestari et jurare quia non novisset hominem.Then he began to curse and to swear that he had not known the man.Et continuo gallus cantavit.And immediately the rooster crowed.

75Et recordatus est Petrus verbi Jesu,And Peter remembered the words of Jesus,quod dixerat:which he had said:Priusquam gallus cantet,“Before the rooster crows,ter me negabis.you will deny me three times.”Et egressus foras,And going outside,flevit amare.he wept bitterly.
