Et surgens omnis multitudo eorum, duxerunt illum ad Pilatum.

And the whole multitude of them rising up, led him to Pilate.

Then the whole assembly of them rose up and brought him before Pilate,

Cœperunt autem illum accusare, dicentes: Hunc invenimus subvertentem gentem nostram, et prohibentem tributa dare Cæsari, et dicentem se Christum regem esse.

And they began to accuse him, saying: We have found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, and saying that he is Christ the king.

and there fell to accusing him; We have discovered, they said, that this man is subverting the loyalty of our people, forbids the payment of tribute to Caesar, and calls himself Christ the king.

Pilatus autem interrogavit eum, dicens: Tu es rex Judæorum? At ille respondens ait: Tu dicis.

And Pilate asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, said: Thou sayest it.

And Pilate asked him, Art thou the king of the Jews? He answered him, Thy own lips have said it.

Ait autem Pilatus ad principes sacerdotum et turbas: Nihil invenio causæ in hoc homine.

And Pilate said to the chief priests and to the multitudes: I find no cause in this man.

Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, I cannot discover any fault in this man.

At illi invalescebant, dicentes: Commovet populum docens per universam Judæam, incipiens a Galilæa usque huc.

But they were more earnest, saying: He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.

But they insisted, He rouses sedition among the people; he has gone round the whole of Judaea preaching, beginning in Galilee and ending here.

Pilatus autem audiens Galilæam, interrogavit si homo Galilæus esset.

But Pilate hearing Galilee, asked if the man were of Galilee?

Pilate, upon the mention of Galilee, asked whether the man was a Galilean;

Et ut cognovit quod de Herodis potestate esset, remisit eum ad Herodem, qui et ipse Jerosolymis erat illis diebus.

And when he understood that he was of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod, who was also himself at Jerusalem, in those days.

and learning that he belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, remitted his cause to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at this time.

Herodes 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.

And Herod seeing Jesus, was very glad; for he was desirous of a long time to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought by him.

Herod was overjoyed at seeing Jesus; for a long time he had been eager to have sight of him, because he had heard so much of him, and now he hoped to witness some miracle of his.

Interrogabat autem eum multis sermonibus. At ipse nihil illi respondebat.

And he questioned him in many words. But he answered him nothing.

He asked him many questions, but could get no answer from him,

Stabant autem principes sacerdotum et scribæ constanter accusantes eum.

And the chief priests and the scribes stood by, earnestly accusing him.

although the chief priests and scribes stood there, loudly accusing him.

Sprevit autem illum Herodes cum exercitu suo: et illusit indutum veste alba, et remisit ad Pilatum.

And Herod with his army set him at nought, and mocked him, putting on him a white garment, and sent him back to Pilate.

So Herod and his attendants made a jest of him, arraying him in festal attire out of mockery, and sent him back to Pilate.

Et facti sunt amici Herodes et Pilatus in ipsa die: nam antea inimici erant ad invicem.

And Herod and Pilate were made friends, that same day; for before they were enemies one to another.

That day Herod and Pilate, who had hitherto been at enmity with one another, became friends.

Pilatus autem, convocatis principibus sacerdotum, et magistratibus, et plebe,

And Pilate, calling together the chief priests, and the magistrates, and the people,

And now Pilate summoned the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,

dixit 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.

Said to them: You have presented unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold I, having examined him before you, find no cause in this man, in those things wherein you accuse him.

and said to them, You have brought this man before me as one who seduces the people from their allegiance; I examined him in your presence, and could find no substance in any of the charges you bring against him;

Sed neque Herodes: nam remisi vos ad illum, et ecce nihil dignum morte actum est ei.

No, nor Herod neither. For I sent you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him.

nor could Herod, when I referred you to him. It is plain that he has done nothing which deserves death.

Emendatum ergo illum dimittam.

I will chastise him therefore, and release him.

I will scourge him, and then he shall go free.

Necesse autem habebat dimittere eis per diem festum unum.

Now of necessity he was to release unto them one upon the feast day.

At the festival, he was obliged to grant them the liberty of one prisoner:

Exclamavit autem simul universa turba, dicens: Tolle hunc, et dimitte nobis Barabbam:

But the whole multitude together cried out, saying: Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:

but the whole concourse raised the cry, Away with this man; we must have Barabbas released.

qui erat propter seditionem quamdam factam in civitate et homicidium missus in carcerem.

Who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for a murder, was cast into prison.

(Barabbas was a man who had been thrown into prison for raising a revolt in the city, and for murder.)

Iterum autem Pilatus locutus est ad eos, volens dimittere Jesum.

And Pilate again spoke to them, desiring to release Jesus.

Once more Pilate spoke to them, offering to set Jesus at liberty;

At illi succlamabant, dicentes: Crucifige, crucifige eum.

But they cried again, saying: Crucify him, crucify him.

but they continued to answer with shouts of, Crucify him, crucify him.

Ille autem tertio dixit ad illos: Quid enim mali fecit iste? nullam causam mortis invenio in eo: corripiam ergo illum et dimittam.

And he said to them the third time: Why, what evil hath this man done? I find no cause of death in him. I will chastise him therefore, and let him go.

Then for the third time he said to them, Why, what wrong has he done? I can find no fault in him that deserves death; I will scourge him, and then he shall go free.

At illi instabant vocibus magnis postulantes ut crucifigeretur: et invalescebant voces eorum.

But they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified; and their voices prevailed.

But they, with loud cries, insisted on their demand that he should be crucified; and their voices carried the day;

Et Pilatus adjudicavit fieri petitionem eorum.

And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

Pilate gave his assent that their request should be granted,

Dimisit autem illis eum qui propter homicidium et seditionem missus fuerat in carcerem, quem petebant: Jesum vero tradidit voluntati eorum.

And he released unto them him who for murder and sedition, had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

releasing the man of their choice who had been imprisoned for revolt and murder, while he handed Jesus over to their will.

Et cum ducerent eum, apprehenderunt Simonem quemdam Cyrenensem venientem de villa: et imposuerunt illi crucem portare post Jesum.

And as they led him away, they laid hold of one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country; and they laid the cross on him to carry after Jesus.

As they led him off, they caught hold of a man called Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and loaded him with the cross, so that he should carry it after Jesus.

And there followed him a great multitude of people, and of women, who bewailed and lamented him.

Jesus was followed by a great multitude of the people, and also of women, who beat their breasts and mourned over him;

Conversus autem ad illas Jesus, dixit: Filiæ Jerusalem, nolite flere super me, sed super vos ipsas flete et super filios vestros.

But Jesus turning to them, said: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not over me; but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

but he turned to them, and said, It is not for me that you should weep, daughters of Jerusalem; you should weep for yourselves and your children.

Quoniam ecce venient dies in quibus dicent: Beatæ steriles, et ventres qui non genuerunt, et ubera quæ non lactaverunt.

For behold, the days shall come, wherein they will say: Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the paps that have not given suck.

Behold, a time is coming when men will say, It is well for the barren, for the wombs that never bore children, and the breasts that never suckled them.

Tunc incipient dicere montibus: Cadite super nos; et collibus: Operite nos.

Then shall they begin to say to the mountains: Fall upon us; and to the hills: Cover us.

It is then that they will begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us.

Quia si in viridi ligno hæc faciunt, in arido quid fiet?

For if in the green wood they do these things, what shall be done in the dry?

If it goes so hard with the tree that is still green, what will become of the tree that is already dried up?
