Principes autem sacerdotum, acceptis argenteis, dixerunt: Non licet eos mittere in corbonam: quia pretium sanguinis est.

The chief priests, thus recovering the money, said, It must not be put in the treasury, since it is the price of blood;

But the chief priests having taken the pieces of silver, said: It is not lawful to put them into the corbona, because it is the price of blood.

Jesus autem stetit ante præsidem, et interrogavit eum præses, dicens: Tu es rex Judæorum? Dicit illi Jesus: Tu dicis.

Then Pilate saith to him: Dost not thou hear how great testimonies they allege against thee?

Et non respondit ei ad ullum verbum, ita ut miraretur præses vehementer.

But Jesus would not answer any of their charges, so that the governor was full of astonishment.

And he answered him to never a word; so that the governor wondered exceedingly.

Per diem autem solemnem consueverat præses populo dimittere unum vinctum, quem voluissent:

At the festival, the governor used to grant to the multitude the liberty of any one prisoner they should choose;

Now upon the solemn day the governor was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner, whom they would.

habebat autem tunc vinctum insignem, qui dicebatur Barabbas.

and there was one notable prisoner then in custody, whose name was Barabbas;

And he had then a notorious prisoner, that was called Barabbas.

Congregatis ergo illis, dixit Pilatus: Quem vultis dimittam vobis: Barabbam, an Jesum, qui dicitur Christus?

so, when they gathered about him, Pilate asked them, Whom shall I release? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said: Whom will you that I release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus that is called Christ?

Sciebat enim quod per invidiam tradidissent eum.

He knew well that they had only given him up out of malice;

For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

Sedente autem illo pro tribunali, misit ad eum uxor ejus, dicens: Nihil tibi, et justo illi: multa enim passa sum hodie per visum propter eum.

and even as he sat on the judgement-seat, his wife had sent him a message, Do not meddle with this innocent man; I dreamed to-day that I suffered much on his account.

And as he was sitting in the place of judgment, his wife sent to him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

Principes autem sacerdotum et seniores persuaserunt populis ut peterent Barabbam, Jesum vero perderent.

But the chief priests and elders had persuaded the multitude to ask for Barabbas and have Jesus put to death;

But the chief priests and ancients persuaded the people, that they should ask Barabbas, and make Jesus away.

Respondens autem præses, ait illis: Quem vultis vobis de duobus dimitti? At illi dixerunt: Barabbam.

and so, when the governor openly asked them, Which of the two would you have me release? they said, Barabbas.

And the governor answering, said to them: Whether will you of the two to be released unto you? But they said, Barabbas.

Dicit illis Pilatus: Quid igitur faciam de Jesu, qui dicitur Christus?

Pilate said to them, What am I to do, then, with Jesus, who is called Christ? They said, Let him be crucified.

Pilate saith to them: What shall I do then with Jesus that is called Christ? They say all: Let him be crucified.

Dicunt omnes: Crucifigatur. Ait illis præses: Quid enim mali fecit? At illi magis clamabant dicentes: Crucifigatur.

And when the governor said, Why, what wrong has he done? they cried louder than ever, Let him be crucified.

The governor said to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying: Let him be crucified.

Videns autem Pilatus quia nihil proficeret, sed magis tumultus fieret: accepta aqua, lavit manus coram populo, dicens: Innocens ego sum a sanguine justi hujus: vos videritis.

And so, finding that his good offices went for nothing, and the uproar only became worse, Pilate sent for water and washed his hands in full sight of the multitude, saying as he did so, I have no part in the death of this innocent man; it concerns you only.

And Pilate seeing that he prevailed nothing, but that rather a tumult was made; taking water washed his hands before the people, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man; look you to it.

Et respondens universus populus, dixit: Sanguis ejus super nos, et super filios nostros.

And the whole people answered, His blood be upon us, and upon our children.

And the whole people answering, said: His blood be upon us and upon our children.

Tunc dimisit illis Barabbam: Jesum autem flagellatum tradidit eis ut crucifigeretur.

And with that he released Barabbas as they asked; Jesus he scourged, and gave him up to be crucified.

Then he released to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him unto them to be crucified.

Tunc milites præsidis suscipientes Jesum in prætorium, congregaverunt ad eum universam cohortem:

After this, the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the palace, and gathered the whole of their company about him.

Then the soldiers of the governor taking Jesus into the hall, gathered together unto him the whole band;

et exuentes eum, chlamydem coccineam circumdederunt ei,

First they stripped him, and arrayed him in a scarlet cloak;

And stripping him, they put a scarlet cloak about him.

et plectentes coronam de spinis, posuerunt super caput ejus, et arundinem in dextera ejus. Et genu flexo ante eum, illudebant ei, dicentes: Ave rex Judæorum.

then they put on his head a crown which they had woven out of thorns, and a rod in his right hand, and mocked him by kneeling down before him, and saying, Hail, king of the Jews.

And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying: Hail, King of the Jews.

And they spat upon him, and took the rod from him and beat him over the head with it.

And spitting upon him, they took the reed, and struck his head.

Et postquam illuserunt ei, exuerunt eum chlamyde, et induerunt eum vestimentis ejus, et duxerunt eum ut crucifigerent.

At last they had done with mockery; stripping him of the scarlet cloak, they put his own garments on him, and led him away to be crucified.

And after they had mocked him, they took off the cloak from him, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him.

Postquam autem crucifixerunt eum, diviserunt vestimenta ejus, sortem mittentes: ut impleretur quod dictum est per prophetam dicentem: Diviserunt sibi vestimenta mea, et super vestem meam miserunt sortem.

and then crucified him, dividing his garments among them by casting lots. The prophecy must be fulfilled, They divide my spoils among them, cast lots for my garments.

And after they had crucified him, they divided his garments, casting lots; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: They divided my garments among them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.

And they sat and watched him.

Et imposuerunt super caput ejus causam ipsius scriptam: Hic est Jesus rex Judæorum.

Over his head they set a written proclamation of his offence, This is Jesus, the king of the Jews;

Come now, they said, thou who wouldst destroy the temple and build it up in three days, rescue thyself; come down from that cross, if thou art the Son of God.

And saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God, and in three days dost rebuild it: save thy own self: if thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

Similiter et principes sacerdotum illudentes cum scribis et senioribus dicebant:

The chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him in the same way.

In like manner also the chief priests, with the scribes and ancients, mocking, said:

Alios salvos fecit, seipsum non potest salvum facere: si rex Israël est, descendat nunc de cruce, et credimus ei:

He saved others, they said, he cannot save himself. If he is the king of Israel, he has but to come down from the cross, here and now, and we will believe in him.

He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
