1Mane autem facto,Then,consilium inierunt omnes principes sacerdotumwhen morning arrived,et seniores populi adversus Jesum,all the leaders of the priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus,ut eum morti traderent.so that they might deliver him to death.

2Et vinctum adduxerunt eum,And they led him, bound,et tradiderunt Pontio Pilato præsidi.and handed him over to Pontius Pilate, the procurator.

3Tunc videns Judas,Then Judas,qui eum tradidit,who betrayed him,quod damnatus esset,seeing that he had been condemned,pœnitentia ductus,regretting his conduct,retulit triginta argenteos principibus sacerdotum,brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the leaders of the priestset senioribus,and the elders,

4dicens:saying,Peccavi, tradens sanguinem justum.“I have sinned in betraying just blood.”At illi dixerunt:But they said to him:Quid ad nos?“What is that to us?tu videris.See to it yourself.”

5Et projectis argenteis in templo,And throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple,recessit:he departed.et abiens laqueo se suspendit.And going out, he hanged himself with a snare.

6Principes autem sacerdotum,But the leaders of the priests,acceptis argenteis,having taken up the pieces of silver,dixerunt:said,Non licet eos mittere in corbonam:“It is not lawful to put them into the temple offerings,quia pretium sanguinis est.because it is the price of blood.”

7Consilio autem inito,Then, having taken counsel,emerunt ex illis agrum figuli,they bought the potter’s field with it,in sepulturam peregrinorum.as a burying place for sojourners.

8Propter hoc vocatus est ager ille,For this reason,Haceldama,that field is called Haceldama,hoc est,that is,Ager sanguinis,‘The Field of Blood,’usque in hodiernum diem.even to this very day.

9Tunc impletum est quod dictum est per Jeremiam prophetam,Then what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled, saying,dicentem: Et acceperunt triginta argenteos pretium appretiati,“And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the one being appraised,quem appretiaverunt a filiis Israël:whom they appraised before the sons of Israel,

10et dederunt eos in agrum figuli,and they gave it for the potter’s field,sicut constituit mihi Dominus.just as the Lord appointed to me.”

11Jesus autem stetit ante præsidem,Now Jesus stood before the procurator,et interrogavit eum præses,and the procurator questioned him,dicens:saying,Tu es rex Judæorum?“You are the king of the Jews?”Dicit illi Jesus:Jesus said to him,Tu dicis.“You are saying so.”

12Et cum accusaretur a principibus sacerdotum et senioribus,And when he was accused by the leaders of the priests and the elders,nihil respondit.he responded nothing.

13Tunc dicit illi Pilatus:Then Pilate said to him,Non audis quanta adversum te dicunt testimonia?“Do you not hear how much testimony they speak against you?”

14Et non respondit ei ad ullum verbum,And he did not respond any word to him,ita ut miraretur præses vehementer.so that the procurator wondered greatly.

15Per diem autem solemnem consueverat præses populo dimittere unum vinctum,Now on the solemn day, the procurator was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner,quem voluissent:whomever they wished.

16habebat autem tunc vinctum insignem,And at that time, he had a notorious prisoner,qui dicebatur Barabbas.who was called Barabbas.

17Congregatis ergo illis,Therefore, having been gathered together,dixit Pilatus:Pilate said to them,Quem vultis dimittam vobis: Barabbam,“Who is it that you want me to release to you:an Jesum,Barabbas,qui dicitur Christus?or Jesus, who is called Christ?”

18Sciebat enim quod per invidiam tradidissent eum.For he knew that it was out of envy they had handed him over.

19Sedente autem illo pro tribunali,But as he was sitting in the place for the tribunal,misit ad eum uxor ejus,his wife sent to him,dicens:saying:Nihil tibi,“It is nothing to you,et justo illi:and he is just.multa enim passa sum hodie per visum propter eum.For I have experienced many things today through a vision for his sake.”

20Principes autem sacerdotumBut the leaders of the priests and the elders persuaded the people,et seniores persuaserunt populis ut peterent Barabbam,so that they would ask for Barabbas,Jesum vero perderent.and so that Jesus would perish.

21Respondens autem præses,Then, in response, the procurator said to them,ait illis: Quem vultis vobis de duobus dimitti?“Which of the two do you want to be released to you?”At illi dixerunt:But they said to him,Barabbam.“Barabbas.”

22Dicit illis Pilatus:Pilate said to them,Quid igitur faciam de Jesu,“Then what shall I do about Jesus, who is called Christ?”qui dicitur Christus?They all said, “Let him be crucified.”

23Dicunt omnes: Crucifigatur.The procurator said to them,Ait illis præses: Quid enim mali fecit?“But what evil has he done?”At illi magis clamabant dicentes:But they cried out all the more, saying,Crucifigatur.“Let him be crucified.”

24Videns autem Pilatus quia nihil proficeret,Then Pilate, seeing that he was able to accomplish nothing,sed magis tumultus fieret: accepta aqua,but that a greater tumult was occurring, taking water,lavit manus coram populo, dicens:washed his hands in the sight of the people,Innocens ego sum a sanguine justi hujus:saying: “I am innocent of the blood of this just man.vos videritis.See to it yourselves.”

25Et respondens universus populus, dixit:And the entire people responded by saying,Sanguis ejus super nos, et super filios nostros.“May his blood be upon us and upon our children.”

26Tunc dimisit illis Barabbam:Then he released Barabbas to them. But Jesus,Jesum autem flagellatum tradidit eis ut crucifigeretur.having been scourged, he handed over to them, so that he would be crucified.

27Tunc milites præsidis suscipientes Jesum in prætorium,Then the soldiers of the procurator, taking Jesus up to the praetorium,congregaverunt ad eum universam cohortem:gathered the entire cohort around him.

28et exuentes eum,And stripping him,chlamydem coccineam circumdederunt ei,they put a scarlet cloak around him.

29et plectentes coronam de spinis,And plaiting a crown of thorns,posuerunt super caput ejus,they placed it on his head,et arundinem in dextera ejus.with a reed in his right hand.Et genu flexo ante eum,And genuflecting before him,illudebant ei,they mocked him,dicentes:saying, “Hail,Ave rex Judæorum.King of the Jews.”

30Et exspuentes in eum,And spitting on him,acceperunt arundinem,they took the reedet percutiebant caput ejus.and struck his head.

31Et postquam illuserunt ei,And after they had mocked him,exuerunt eum chlamyde,they stripped him of the cloak,et induerunt eum vestimentis ejus,and clothed him with his own garments,et duxerunt eum ut crucifigerent.and they led him away to crucify him.

32Exeuntes autem invenerunt hominem Cyrenæum, nomine Simonem:But as they were going out, they came upon a man of Cyrene,hunc angariaverunt ut tolleret crucem ejus.named Simon, whom they compelled to take up his cross.

33Et venerunt in locum qui dicitur Golgotha,And they arrived at the place which is called Golgotha,quod est Calvariæ locus.which is the place of Calvary.

34Et dederunt ei vinum bibere cum felle mistum.And they gave him wine to drink, mixed with gall.Et cum gustasset,And when he had tasted it,noluit bibere.he refused to drink it.

35Postquam autem crucifixerunt eum,Then, after they had crucified him,diviserunt vestimenta ejus,they divided his garments,sortem mittentes:casting lots,ut impleretur quod dictum est per prophetam dicentem:in order to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying:Diviserunt sibi vestimenta mea,“They divided my garments among them,et super vestem meam miserunt sortem.and over my vestment they cast lots.”

36Et sedentes servabant eum.And sitting down, they observed him.

37Et imposuerunt super caput ejus causam ipsius scriptam:And they set his accusation above his head, written as:Hic est Jesus rex Judæorum.This is Jesus, king of the Jews.

38Tunc crucifixi sunt cum eo duo latrones:Then two robbers were crucified with him:unus a dextris,one on the rightet unus a sinistris.and one on the left.

39Prætereuntes autem blasphemabant eum moventes capita sua,But those passing by blasphemed him, shaking their heads,

40et dicentes:and saying:Vah!“Ah,qui destruis templum Dei,so you would destroy the temple of Godet in triduo illud reædificas:and in three days rebuild it!salva temetipsum:Save your own self.si Filius Dei es,If you are the Son of God,descende de cruce.descend from the cross.”

41Similiter et principes sacerdotum illudentes cum scribis et senioribus dicebant:And similarly, the leaders of the priests, with the scribes and the elders, mocking him, said:

42Alios salvos fecit,“He saved others;seipsum non potest salvum facere:he cannot save himself.si rex Israël est,If he is the King of Israel,descendat nunc de cruce,let him descend now from the cross,et credimus ei:and we will believe in him.

43confidit in Deo:He trusted in God; so now,liberet nunc,let God free him,si vult eum:if he wills him.dixit enim:For he said,Quia Filius Dei sum.‘I am the Son of God.’”

44Idipsum autem et latrones, qui crucifixi erant cum eo, improperabant ei.Then, the robbers who were crucified with him also reproached him with the very same thing.

45A sexta autem hora tenebræ factæ sunt super universam terram usque ad horam nonam.Now from the sixth hour, there was darkness over the entire earth, even until the ninth hour.

46Et circa horam nonam clamavit Jesus voce magna,And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice,dicens:saying:Eli,“Eli,Eli,Eli,lamma sabacthani?lamma sabacthani?”hoc est:that is,Deus meus, Deus meus,“My God, My God,ut quid dereliquisti me?why have you forsaken me?”

47Quidam autem illic stantes, et audientes,Then certain ones who were standing and listening there said,dicebant: Eliam vocat iste.“This man calls upon Elijah.”

48Et continuo currens unus ex eis,And one of them,acceptam spongiam implevit aceto,running quickly,et imposuit arundini,took a sponge and filled it with vinegar,et dabat ei bibere.and he set it on a reed and he gave it to him to drink.

49Ceteri vero dicebant:Yet truly, the others said,Sine,“Wait.videamus an veniat Elias liberans eum.Let us see whether Elijah will come to free him.”

50Jesus autem iterum clamans voce magna,Then Jesus, crying out again with a loud voice,emisit spiritum.gave up his life.

51Et ecce velum templi scissum est in duas partes a summo usque deorsum:And behold, the veil of the temple was torn into two parts, from top to bottom.et terra mota est,And the earth was shaken,et petræ scissæ sunt,and the rocks were split apart.

52et monumenta aperta sunt:And the tombs were opened.et multa corpora sanctorum,And many bodies of the saints,qui dormierant,which had been sleeping,surrexerunt.arose.

58hic accessit ad Pilatum,This man approached Pilateet petiit corpus Jesu.and asked for the body of Jesus.Tunc Pilatus jussit reddi corpus.Then Pilate ordered the body to be released.

59Et accepto corpore,And Joseph, taking the body,Joseph involvit illud in sindone munda,wrapped it in a clean finely-woven linen cloth,

60et posuit illud in monumento suo novo,and he placed it in his own new tomb,quod exciderat in petra.which he had hewn out of a rock.Et advolvit saxum magnum ad ostium monumenti,And he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb,et abiit.and he went away.

61Erant autem ibi Maria Magdalene,Now Mary Magdaleneet altera Maria,and the other Mary were there,sedentes contra sepulchrum.sitting opposite the sepulcher.

63dicentes: Domine,saying: “Lord,recordati sumus, quia seductor ille dixit adhuc vivens:we have remembered that this seducer said, while he was still alive,Post tres dies resurgam.‘After three days, I will rise again.’
