Evangelium secundum Lucam, 23

1. et surgens omnis multitudo eorum duxerunt illum ad Pilatum

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

2. cœperunt autem accusare illum dicentes hunc invenimus subvertentem gentem nostram et prohibentem tributa dari Cæsari et dicentem se Christum regem esse

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

3. Pilatus autem interrogavit eum dicens tu es rex Judæorum at ille respondens ait tu dicis

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

4. ait autem Pilatus ad principes sacerdotum et turbas nihil invenio causæ in hoc homine

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

5. at illi invalescebant dicentes commovet populum docens per universam Judæam et incipiens a Galilæa usque huc

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

6. Pilatus autem audiens Galilæam interrogavit si homo Galilæus esset

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

7. et ut cognovit quod de Herodis potestate esset remisit eum ad Herodem qui et ipse Hierosolymis erat illis diebus

7. 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.

8. Herodes autem viso Jesu gavisus est valde erat enim cupiens ex multo tempore videre eum eo quod audiret multa de illo et sperabat signum aliquod videre ab eo fieri

8. 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.

9. interrogabat autem illum multis sermonibus at ipse nihil illi respondebat

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

10. stabant etiam principes sacerdotum et scribæ constanter accusantes eum

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

11. sprevit autem illum Herodes cum exercitu suo et inlusit indutum veste alba et remisit ad Pilatum

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

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

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

13. Pilatus autem convocatis principibus sacerdotum et magistratibus et plebe

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

14. 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

14. 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.

15. sed neque Herodes nam remisi vos ad illum et ecce nihil dignum morte actum est ei

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

16. emendatum ergo illum dimittam

16. I will chastise him therefore, and release him.

17. necesse autem habebat dimittere eis per diem festum unum

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

18. exclamavit autem simul universa turba dicens tolle hunc et dimitte nobis Barabban

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

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

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

20. iterum autem Pilatus locutus est ad illos volens dimittere Jesum

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

21. at illi succlamabant dicentes crucifige crucifige illum

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

22. ille autem tertio dixit ad illos quid enim mali fecit iste nullam causam mortis invenio in eo corripiam ergo illum et dimittam

22. 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.

23. at illi instabant vocibus magnis postulantes ut crucifigeretur et invalescebant voces eorum

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

24. et Pilatus adiudicavit fieri petitionem eorum

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

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

25. 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.

26. et cum ducerent eum adprehenderunt Simonem quendam Cyrenensem venientem de villa et inposuerunt illi crucem portare post Jesum

26. 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.

27. sequebatur autem illum multa turba populi et mulierum quæ plangebant et lamentabant eum

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

28. conversus autem ad illas Jesus dixit filiæ Hierusalem nolite flere super me sed super vos ipsas flete et super filios vestros

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

29. quoniam ecce venient dies in quibus dicent beatæ steriles et ventres qui non genuerunt et ubera quæ non lactaverunt

29. 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.

30. tunc incipient dicere montibus cadite super nos et collibus operite nos

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

31. quia si in viridi ligno hæc faciunt in arido quid fiet

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

32. ducebantur autem et alii duo nequam cum eo ut interficerentur

32. And there were also two other malefactors led with him to be put to death.

33. et postquam venerunt in locum qui vocatur Calvariæ ibi crucifixerunt eum et latrones unum a dextris et alterum a sinistris

33. And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, they crucified him there; and the robbers, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

34. Jesus autem dicebat Pater dimitte illis non enim sciunt quid faciunt dividentes vero vestimenta ejus miserunt sortes

34. And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. But they, dividing his garments, cast lots.

35. et stabat populus expectans et deridebant illum principes cum eis dicentes alios salvos fecit se salvum faciat si hic est Christus Dei electus

35. And the people stood beholding, and the rulers with them derided him, saying: He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the elect of God.

36. inludebant autem ei et milites accedentes et acetum offerentes illi

36. And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

37. dicentes si tu es rex Judæorum salvum te fac

37. And saying: If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

38. erat autem et superscriptio inscripta super illum litteris græcis et latinis et hebraicis hic est rex Judæorum

38. And there was also a superscription written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39. unus autem de his qui pendebant latronibus blasphemabat eum dicens si tu es Christus salvum fac temet ipsum et nos

39. And one of those robbers who were hanged, blasphemed him, saying: If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

40. respondens autem alter increpabat illum dicens neque tu times Deum quod in eadem damnatione es

40. But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Neither dost thou fear God, seeing thou art condemned under the same condemnation?

41. et nos quidem juste nam digna factis recipimus hic vero nihil mali gessit

41. And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done no evil.

42. et dicebat ad Jesum Domine memento mei cum veneris in regnum tuum

42. And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom.

43. et dixit illi Jesus amen dico tibi hodie mecum eris in paradiso

43. And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise.

44. erat autem fere hora sexta et tenebræ factæ sunt in universa terra usque in nonam horam

44. And it was almost the sixth hour; and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

45. et obscuratus est sol et velum templi scissum est medium

45. And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

46. et clamans voce magna Jesus ait Pater in manus tuas commendo spiritum meum et hæc dicens exspiravit

46. And Jesus crying out with a loud voice, said: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And saying this, he gave up the ghost.

47. videns autem centurio quod factum fuerat glorificavit Deum dicens vere hic homo justus erat

47. Now the centurion, seeing what was done, glorified God, saying: Indeed this was a just man.

48. et omnis turba eorum qui simul aderant ad spectaculum istud et videbant quæ fiebant percutientes pectora sua revertebantur

48. And all the multitude of them that were come together to that sight, and saw the things that were done, returned striking their breasts.

49. stabant autem omnes noti ejus a longe et mulieres quæ secutæ erant eum a Galilæa hæc videntes

49. And all his acquaintance, and the women that had followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

50. et ecce vir nomine Joseph qui erat decurio vir bonus et justus

50. And behold there was a man named Joseph, who was a counsellor, a good and just man,

51. hic non consenserat consilio et actibus eorum ab Arimathia civitate Judææ qui expectabat et ipse regnum Dei

51. (The same had not consented to their counsel and doings;) of Arimathea, a city of Judea; who also himself looked for the kingdom of God.

52. hic accessit ad Pilatum et petiit corpus Jesu

52. This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

53. et depositum involvit sindone et posuit eum in monumento exciso in quo nondum quisquam positus fuerat

53. And taking him down, he wrapped him in fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that was hewed in stone, wherein never yet any man had been laid.

54. et dies erat parasceves et sabbatum inlucescebat

54. And it was the day of the Parasceve, and the sabbath drew on.

55. subsecutæ autem mulieres quæ cum ipso venerant de Galilæa viderunt monumentum et quemadmodum positum erat corpus ejus

55. And the women that were come with him from Galilee, following after, saw the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

56. et revertentes paraverunt aromata et unguenta et sabbato quidem siluerunt secundum mandatum

56. And returning, they prepared spices and ointments; and on the sabbath day they rested, according to the commandment.
