Evangelium secundum Matthaeum, 27

1. mane autem facto consilium inierunt omnes principes sacerdotum et seniores populi adversus Jesum ut eum morti traderent

1. And when morning was come, all the chief priests and ancients of the people took counsel against Jesus, that they might put him to death.

2. et vinctum adduxerunt eum et tradiderunt Pontio Pilato præsidi

2. And they brought him bound, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

3. tunc videns Judas qui eum tradidit quod damnatus esset pænitentia ductus rettulit triginta argenteos principibus sacerdotum et senioribus

3. Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that he was condemned, repenting himself, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and ancients,

4. dicens peccavi tradens sanguinem justum at illi dixerunt quid ad nos tu videris

4. Saying: I have sinned in betraying innocent blood. But they said: What is that to us? look thou to it.

5. et projectis argenteis in templo recessit et abiens laqueo se suspendit

5. And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed: and went and hanged himself with an halter.

6. principes autem sacerdotum acceptis argenteis dixerunt non licet mittere eos in corbanan quia pretium sanguinis est

6. 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.

7. consilio autem inito emerunt ex illis agrum figuli in sepulturam peregrinorum

7. And after they had consulted together, they bought with them the potter's field, to be a burying place for strangers.

8. propter hoc vocatus est ager ille Acheldemach ager sanguinis usque in hodiernum diem

8. For this cause the field was called Haceldama, that is, The field of blood, even to this day.

9. tunc impletum est quod dictum est per Hieremiam prophetam dicentem et acceperunt triginta argenteos pretium adpretiati quem adpretiaverunt a filiis Israël

9. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying: And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was prized, whom they prized of the children of Israel.

10. et dederunt eos in agrum figuli sicut constituit mihi Dominus

10. And they gave them unto the potter's field, as the Lord appointed to me.

11. Jesus autem stetit ante præsidem et interrogavit eum præses dicens tu es rex Judæorum dicit ei Jesus tu dicis

11. And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? Jesus saith to him: Thou sayest it.

12. et cum accusaretur a principibus sacerdotum et senioribus nihil respondit

12. And when he was accused by the chief priests and ancients, he answered nothing.

13. tunc dicit illi Pilatus non audis quanta adversum te dicant testimonia

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

14. et non respondit ei ad ullum verbum ita ut miraretur præses vehementer

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

15. per diem autem sollemnem consueverat præses dimittere populo unum vinctum quem voluissent

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

16. habebat autem tunc vinctum insignem qui dicebatur Barabbas

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

17. congregatis ergo illis dixit Pilatus quem vultis dimittam vobis Barabban an Jesum qui dicitur Christus

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

18. sciebat enim quod per invidiam tradidissent eum

18. For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

19. sedente autem illo pro tribunali misit ad illum uxor ejus dicens nihil tibi et justo illi multa enim passa sum hodie per visum propter eum

19. 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.

20. princeps autem sacerdotum et seniores persuaserunt populis ut peterent Barabban Jesum vero perderent

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

21. respondens autem præses ait illis quem vultis vobis de duobus dimitti at illi dixerunt Barabban

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

22. dicit illis Pilatus quid igitur faciam de Jesu qui dicitur Christus

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

23. dicunt omnes crucifigatur ait illis præses quid enim mali fecit at illi magis clamabant dicentes crucifigatur

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

24. 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

24. 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.

25. et respondens universus populus dixit sanguis ejus super nos et super filios nostros

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

26. tunc dimisit illis Barabban Jesum autem flagellatum tradidit eis ut crucifigeretur

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

27. tunc milites præsidis suscipientes Jesum in prætorio congregaverunt ad eum universam cohortem

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

28. et exuentes eum clamydem coccineam circumdederunt ei

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

29. et plectentes coronam de spinis posuerunt super caput ejus et harundinem in dextera ejus et genu flexo ante eum inludebant dicentes have rex Judæorum

29. 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.

30. et expuentes in eum acceperunt harundinem et percutiebant caput ejus

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

31. et postquam inluserunt ei exuerunt eum clamydem et induerunt eum vestimentis ejus et duxerunt eum ut crucifigerent

31. 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.

32. exeuntes autem invenerunt hominem cyreneum nomine Simonem hunc angariaverunt ut tolleret crucem ejus

32. And going out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they forced to take up his cross.

33. et venerunt in locum qui dicitur Golgotha quod est Calvariæ locus

33. And they came to the place that is called Golgotha, which is the place of Calvary.

34. et dederunt ei vinum bibere cum felle mixtum et cum gustasset noluit bibere

34. And they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall. And when he had tasted, he would not drink.

35. postquam autem crucifixerunt eum diviserunt vestimenta ejus sortem mittentes

35. 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.

36. et sedentes servabant eum

36. And they sat and watched him.

37. et inposuerunt super caput ejus causam ipsius scriptam hic est Jesus rex Judæorum

37. And they put over his head his cause written: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38. tunc crucifixi sunt cum eo duo latrones unus a dextris et unus a sinistris

38. Then were crucified with him two thieves: one on the right hand, and one on the left.

39. prætereuntes autem blasphemabant eum moventes capita sua

39. And they that passed by, blasphemed him, wagging their heads,

40. et dicentes qui destruit templum et in triduo illud reædificat salva temet ipsum si Filius Dei es descende de cruce

40. 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.

41. similiter et principes sacerdotum inludentes cum scribis et senioribus dicentes

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

42. alios salvos fecit se ipsum non potest salvum facere si rex Israël est descendat nunc de cruce et credemus ei

42. 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.

43. confidet in Deo liberet nunc eum si vult dixit enim quia Dei Filius sum

43. He trusted in God; let him now deliver him if he will have him; for he said: I am the Son of God.

44. id ipsum autem et latrones qui fixi erant cum eo inproperabant ei

44. And the selfsame thing the thieves also, that were crucified with him, reproached him with.

45. a sexta autem hora tenebræ factæ sunt super universam terram usque ad horam nonam

45. Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole earth, until the ninth hour.

46. et circa horam nonam clamavit Jesus voce magna dicens Heli Heli lema sabacthani hoc est Deus meus Deus meus ut quid dereliquisti me

46. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

47. quidam autem illic stantes et audientes dicebant Heliam vocat iste

47. And some that stood there and heard, said: This man calleth Elias.

48. et continuo currens unus ex eis acceptam spongiam implevit aceto et inposuit harundini et dabat ei bibere

48. And immediately one of them running took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar; and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

49. ceteri vero dicebant sine videamus an veniat Helias liberans eum

49. And the others said: Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to deliver him.

50. Jesus autem iterum clamans voce magna emisit spiritum

50. And Jesus again crying with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

51. et ecce velum templi scissum est in duas partes a summo usque deorsum et terra mota est et petræ scissæ sunt

51. And behold the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top even to the bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rocks were rent.

52. et monumenta aperta sunt et multa corpora sanctorum qui dormierant surrexerunt

52. And the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that had slept arose,

53. et exeuntes de monumentis post resurrectionem ejus venerunt in sanctam civitatem et apparuerunt multis

53. And coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, came into the holy city, and appeared to many.

54. centurio autem et qui cum eo erant custodientes Jesum viso terræmotu et his quæ fiebant timuerunt valde dicentes vere Dei Filius erat iste

54. Now the centurion and they that were with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were sore afraid, saying: Indeed this was the Son of God.

55. erant autem ibi mulieres multæ a longe quæ secutæ erant Jesum a Galilæa ministrantes ei

55. And there were there many women afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

56. inter quas erat Maria Magdalene et Maria Jacobi et Joseph mater et mater filiorum Zebedæi

56. Among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

57. cum sero autem factum esset venit quidam homo dives ab Arimathia nomine Joseph qui et ipse discipulus erat Jesu

57. And when it was evening, there came a certain rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus.

58. hic accessit ad Pilatum et petiit corpus Jesu tunc Pilatus jussit reddi corpus

58. He went to Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that the body should be delivered.

59. et accepto corpore Joseph involvit illud sindone munda

59. And Joseph taking the body, wrapped it up in a clean linen cloth.

60. et posuit illud in monumento suo novo quod exciderat in petra et advolvit saxum magnum ad ostium monumenti et abiit

60. And laid it in his own new monument, which he had hewed out in a rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the monument, and went his way.

61. erat autem ibi Maria Magdalene et altera Maria sedentes contra sepulchrum

61. And there was there Mary Magdalen, and the other Mary sitting over against the sepulchre.

62. altera autem die quæ est post parasceven convenerunt principes sacerdotum et Pharisæi ad Pilatum

62. And the next day, which followed the day of preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate,

63. dicentes domine recordati sumus quia seductor ille dixit adhuc vivens post tres dies resurgam

63. Saying: Sir, we have remembered, that that seducer said, while he was yet alive: After three days I will rise again.

64. jube ergo custodiri sepulchrum usque in diem tertium ne forte veniant discipuli ejus et furentur eum et dicant plebi surrexit a mortuis et erit novissimus error pejor priore

64. Command therefore the sepulchre to be guarded until the third day: lest perhaps his disciples come and steal him away, and say to the people: He is risen from the dead; and the last error shall be worse than the first.

65. ait illis Pilatus habetis custodiam ite custodite sicut scitis

65. Pilate saith to them: You have a guard; go, guard it as you know.

66. illi autem abeuntes munierunt sepulchrum signantes lapidem cum custodibus

66. And they departing, made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting guards.
