Juan 18

1Después de hablar así, se fue Jesús acompañado de sus discípulos al otro lado del torrente Cedrón, donde había un huerto, en el cual entró con ellos.

2Y Judas, el que lo entregaba, conocía bien este lugar, porque Jesús y sus discípulos se habían reunido allí frecuentemente.

3Judas, pues, tomando a la guardia y a los satélites de los sumos sacerdotes y de los fariseos, llegó allí con linternas y antorchas, y con armas.

4Entonces Jesús, sabiendo todo lo que le había de acontecer, se adelantó y les dijo: “¿A quién buscáis?”

5Respondiéronle: “A Jesús el Nazareno”. Les dijo: “Soy Yo”. Judas, que lo entregaba, estaba allí con ellos.

6No bien les hubo dicho: “Yo soy”, retrocedieron y cayeron en tierra.

7De nuevo les preguntó: “¿A quién buscáis?” Dijeron: “A Jesús de Nazaret”.

8Respondió Jesús: “Os he dicho que soy Yo. Por tanto si me buscáis a Mí, dejad ir a estos”;

9para que se cumpliese la palabra, que Él había dicho: “De los que me diste, no perdí ninguno”.

10Entonces Simón Pedro, que tenía una espada, la desenvainó e hirió a un siervo del Sumo Sacerdote, cortándole la oreja derecha. El nombre del siervo era Malco.

11Mas Jesús dijo a Pedro: “Vuelve la espada a la vaina; ¿no he de beber el cáliz que me ha dado el Padre?”

12Entonces la guardia, el tribuno y los satélites de los judíos prendieron a Jesús y lo ataron.

13Y lo condujeron primero a Anás, porque este era el suegro de Caifás, el cual era Sumo Sacerdote en aquel año. [Pero Anás lo envió atado a Caifás, el Sumo Sacerdote].

14Caifás era aquel que había dado a los judíos el consejo: “Conviene que un solo hombre muera por el pueblo”.

15Entretanto Simón Pedro seguía a Jesús como también otro discípulo. Este discípulo, por ser conocido del Sumo Sacerdote, entró con Jesús en el palacio del Pontífice;

16mas Pedro permanecía fuera, junto a la puerta Salió, pues, aquel otro discípulo, conocido del Sumo Sacerdote, habló a la portera, y trajo adentro a Pedro.

17Entonces, la criada portera dijo a Pedro: “¿No eres tú también de los discípulos de ese hombre?” Él respondió: “No soy”.

18Estaban allí de pie, calentándose, los criados y los satélites, que habían encendido un fuego, porque hacía frío. Pedro estaba también en pie con ellos y se calentaba.

19El Sumo Sacerdote interrogó a Jesús sobre sus discípulos y sobre su enseñanza.

20Jesús le respondió: “Yo he hablado al mundo públicamente; enseñé en las sinagogas y en el Templo, adonde concurren todos los judíos, y nada he hablado a escondidas.

21¿Por qué me interrogas a Mí? Pregunta a los que han oído, qué les he enseñado; ellos saben lo que Yo he dicho”.

22A estas palabras, uno de los satélites, que se encontraba junto a Jesús, le dio una bofetada, diciendo: ¿Así respondes Tú al Sumo Sacerdote?”

23Jesús le respondió: “Si he hablado mal, prueba en qué está el mal; pero si he hablado bien ¿por qué me golpeas?”

24[ Va después del 13].

25Entretanto Simón Pedro seguía allí calentándose, y le dijeron: “No eres tú también de sus discípulos?” Él lo negó y dijo: “No lo soy”.

26Uno de los siervos del Sumo Sacerdote, pariente de aquel a quien Pedro había cortado la oreja, le dijo: “¿No te vi yo en el huerto con Él?”

27Pedro lo negó otra vez, y en seguida cantó un gallo.

28Entonces condujeron a Jesús, de casa de Caifás, al pretorio: era de madrugada. Pero ellos no entraron en el pretorio, para no contaminarse, y poder comer la Pascua.

29Vino, pues, Pilato a ellos, afuera, y les dijo: “¿Qué acusación traéis contra este hombre?”

30Respondiéronle y dijeron: “Si no fuera un malhechor, no te lo habríamos entregado”.

31Díjoles Pilato: “Entonces tomadlo y juzgadlo según vuestra Ley”. Los judíos le respondieron: “A nosotros no nos está permitido dar muerte a nadie”;

32para que se cumpliese la palabra por la cual Jesús significó de qué muerte había de morir.

33Pilato entró, pues, de nuevo en el pretorio, llamó a Jesús y le preguntó: “¿Eres Tú el Rey de los judíos?”

34Jesús respondió: “¿Lo dices tú por ti mismo, o te lo han dicho otros de Mí?”

35Pilato repuso: “¿Acaso soy judío yo? Es tu nación y los pontífices quienes te han entregado a Mí. ¿Qué has hecho?”

36Replicó Jesús: “Mi reino no es de este mundo. Si mi reino fuera de este mundo, mis servidores combatirían a fin de que Yo no fuese entregado a los judíos. Mas ahora mi reino no es de aquí”.

37Díjole, pues, Pilato: “¿Conque Tú eres rey?” Contesto Jesús: “Tú lo dices: Yo soy rey. Yo para esto nací y para esto vine al mundo, a fin de dar testimonio a la verdad. Todo el que es de la verdad, escucha mi voz”.

38Pilato le dijo: “¿Qué cosa es verdad?”. Apenas dicho esto, salió otra vez afuera y les dijo a los judíos: “Yo no encuentro ningún cargo contra él.

39Pero tenéis costumbre de que para Pascua os liberte a alguien. ¿Queréis, pues, que os deje libre al rey de los judíos?”

40Y ellos gritaron de nuevo: “No a él, sino a Barrabás”. Barrabás era un ladrón.

1Hæc cum dixisset Jesus, egressus est cum discipulis suis trans torrentem Cedron, ubi erat hortus, in quem introivit ipse, et discipuli ejus.

2Sciebat autem et Judas, qui tradebat eum, locum: quia frequenter Jesus convenerat illuc cum discipulis suis.

3Judas ergo cum accepisset cohortem, et a pontificibus et pharisæis ministros, venit illuc cum laternis, et facibus, et armis.

4Jesus itaque sciens omnia quæ ventura erant super eum, processit, et dixit eis: Quem quæritis?

5Responderunt ei: Jesum Nazarenum. Dicit eis Jesus: Ego sum. Stabat autem et Judas, qui tradebat eum, cum ipsis.

6Ut ergo dixit eis: Ego sum: abierunt retrorsum, et ceciderunt in terram.

7Iterum ergo interrogavit eos: Quem quæritis? Illi autem dixerunt: Jesum Nazarenum.

8Respondit Jesus: Dixi vobis, quia ego sum: si ergo me quæritis, sinite hos abire.

9Ut impleretur sermo, quem dixit: Quia quos dedisti mihi, non perdidi ex eis quemquam.

10Simon ergo Petrus habens gladium eduxit eum: et percussit pontificis servum, et abscidit auriculam ejus dexteram. Erat autem nomen servo Malchus.

11Dixit ergo Jesus Petro: Mitte gladium tuum in vaginam. Calicem, quem dedit mihi Pater, non bibam illum?

12Cohors ergo, et tribunus, et ministri Judæorum comprehenderunt Jesum, et ligaverunt eum.

13Et adduxerunt eum ad Annam primum: erat enim socer Caiphæ, qui erat pontifex anni illius.

14Erat autem Caiphas, qui consilium dederat Judæis: Quia expedit unum hominem mori pro populo.

15Sequebatur autem Jesum Simon Petrus, et alius discipulus. Discipulus autem ille erat notus pontifici, et introivit cum Jesu in atrium pontificis.

16Petrus autem stabat ad ostium foris. Exivit ergo discipulus alius, qui erat notus pontifici, et dixit ostiariæ: et introduxit Petrum.

17Dicit ergo Petro ancilla ostiaria: Numquid et tu ex discipulis es hominis istius? Dicit ille: Non sum.

18Stabant autem servi et ministri ad prunas, quia frigus erat, et calefaciebant se: erat autem cum eis et Petrus stans, et calefaciens se.

19Pontifex ergo interrogavit Jesum de discipulis suis, et de doctrina ejus.

20Respondit ei Jesus: Ego palam locutus sum mundo: ego semper docui in synagoga, et in templo, quo omnes Judæi conveniunt, et in occulto locutus sum nihil.

21Quid me interrogas? interroga eos qui audierunt quid locutus sim ipsis: ecce hi sciunt quæ dixerim ego.

22Hæc autem cum dixisset, unus assistens ministrorum dedit alapam Jesu, dicens: Sic respondes pontifici?

23Respondit ei Jesus: Si male locutus sum, testimonium perhibe de malo: si autem bene, quid me cædis?

24Et misit eum Annas ligatum ad Caipham pontificem.

25Erat autem Simon Petrus stans, et calefaciens se. Dixerunt ergo ei: Numquid et tu ex discipulis ejus es? Negavit ille, et dixit: Non sum.

26Dicit ei unus ex servis pontificis, cognatus ejus, cujus abscidit Petrus auriculam: Nonne ego te vidi in horto cum illo?

27Iterum ergo negavit Petrus: et statim gallus cantavit.

28Adducunt ergo Jesum a Caipha in prætorium. Erat autem mane: et ipsi non introierunt in prætorium, ut non contaminarentur, sed ut manducarent Pascha.

29Exivit ergo Pilatus ad eos foras, et dixit: Quam accusationem affertis adversus hominem hunc?

30Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: Si non esset hic malefactor, non tibi tradidissemus eum.

31Dixit ergo eis Pilatus: Accipite eum vos, et secundum legem vestram judicate eum. Dixerunt ergo ei Judæi: Nobis non licet interficere quemquam.

32Ut sermo Jesu impleretur, quem dixit, significans qua morte esset moriturus.

33Introivit ergo iterum in prætorium Pilatus: et vocavit Jesum, et dixit ei: Tu es rex Judæorum?

34Respondit Jesus: A temetipso hoc dicis, an alii dixerunt tibi de me?

35Respondit Pilatus: Numquid ego Judæus sum? gens tua et pontifices tradiderunt te mihi: quid fecisti?

36Respondit Jesus: Regnum meum non est de hoc mundo. Si ex hoc mundo esset regnum meum, ministri mei utique decertarent ut non traderer Judæis: nunc autem regnum meum non est hinc.

37Dixit itaque ei Pilatus: Ergo rex es tu? Respondit Jesus: Tu dicis quia rex sum ego. Ego in hoc natus sum, et ad hoc veni in mundum, ut testimonium perhibeam veritati: omnis qui est ex veritate, audit vocem meam.

38Dicit ei Pilatus: Quid est veritas? Et cum hoc dixisset, iterum exivit ad Judæos, et dicit eis: Ego nullam invenio in eo causam.

39Est autem consuetudo vobis ut unum dimittam vobis in Pascha: vultis ergo dimittam vobis regem Judæorum?

40Clamaverunt ergo rursum omnes, dicentes: Non hunc, sed Barabbam. Erat autem Barabbas latro.

1When Jesus had said these things, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples.

2And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place; because Jesus had often resorted thither together with his disciples.

3Judas therefore having received a band of soldiers and servants from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

4Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said to them: Whom seek ye?

5They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them: I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.

6As soon therefore as he had said to them: I am he; they went backward, and fell to the ground.

7Again therefore he asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

8Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way.

9That the word might be fulfilled which he said: Of them whom thou hast given me, I have not lost any one.

10Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name of the servant was Malchus.

11Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put up thy sword into the scabbard. The chalice which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

12Then the band and the tribune, and the servants of the Jews, took Jesus, and bound him:

13And they led him away to Annas first, for he was father in law to Caiphas, who was the high priest of that year.

14Now Caiphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews: That it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

15And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest.

16But Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out, and spoke to the portress, and brought in Peter.

17The maid therefore that was portress, saith to Peter: Art not thou also one of this man’s disciples? He saith: I am not.

18Now the servants and ministers stood at a fire of coals, because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And with them was Peter also, standing, and warming himself.

19The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.

20Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world: I have always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort; and in secret I have spoken nothing.

21Why asketh thou me? ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them: behold they know what things I have said.

22And when he had said these things, one of the servants standing by, gave Jesus a blow, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so?

23Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou me?

24And Annas sent him bound to Caiphas the high priest.

25And Simon Peter was standing, and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said: I am not.

26One of the servants of the high priest (a kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off) saith to him: Did I not see thee in the garden with him?

27Again therefore Peter denied; and immediately the cock crew.

28Then they led Jesus from Caiphas to the governor’s hall. And it was morning; and they went not into the hall, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the pasch.

29Pilate therefore went out to them, and said: What accusation bring you against this man?

30They answered, and said to him: If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.

31Pilate therefore said to them: Take him you, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any man to death;

32That the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he said, signifying what death he should die.

33Pilate therefore went into the hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews?

34Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me?

35Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?

36Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.

37Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.

38Pilate saith to him: What is truth? And when he said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them: I find no cause in him.

39But you have a custom that I should release one unto you at the pasch: will you, therefore, that I release unto you the king of the Jews?

40Then cried they all again, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
