[00:39:48] Behold! What? Behold his patience.

[00:39:48] 2. Recitative - Evangelist and Jesus

[00:39:48] Evangelist

[00:39:48] Da Jesus diese Rede volendet hatte, sprach er zu seinen J¸ngern: When Jesus , then had finished all these sayings, he said to his

[00:39:48] disciples:

[00:39:48] Jesus

[00:39:48] Ihr wisset, dafl nach zweien Tagen Ostern wird, und des Menschen

[00:39:48] Sohn wird ¸berantwortet werden, dafl er gekreuziget werde.

[00:39:48] Ye know that in two days will be Passover, and the Son of man is

[00:39:48] then to be handed over, that he be crucified.

[00:39:48] 3. Chorale

[00:39:48] Herzliebster Jesu, was hast du verbrochen,

[00:39:48] Dafl man ein solch scharf Urteil hat gesprochen?

[00:39:48] Was ist die Schuld, in was f¸r Missetaten

[00:39:48] Bist du geraten?

[00:39:48] Beloved Jesus, what has thou done wrong

[00:39:48] That they have pronounced so hard a sentence?

[00:39:48] What is thy guilt, into what sort of misdeeds

[00:39:48] Hast thou fallen?

[00:39:48] 4. Recitative - Evangelist

[00:39:48] Da versammleten sich die Hohenpriester und Schriftgelehrten und

[00:39:48] die ƒltesten im Volk in dem Palast des Hohenpriesters, der da hiefl

[00:39:48] Kaiphas, und hielten Rat, wie sie Jesum mit Listen griffen und

[00:39:48] tˆteten. Sie sprachen aber:

[00:39:48] There assembled themselves the high priests and the scribes

[00:39:48] together, and the elders of the people within the palace of the chief

[00:39:48] priest, whose name was Caiphas; and there took counsel, how with

[00:39:48] stealth they might capture Jesus and put him to death. They said

[00:39:48] however:

[00:39:48] 5. Chorus

[00:39:48] Ja nicht auf das Fest, auf dafl nicht ein Aufruhr werde im Volk. Not upon the feast, lest from it there be an uproar among the people

[00:39:48] 6. Recitative - Evangelist

[00:39:48] Da nun Jesus war zu Bethanien, im Hause Simonis des

[00:39:48] Auss‰tzigen, trat zu ihm ein Weib, die hatte ein Glas mit

[00:39:48] kˆstlichem Wasser und gofl es auf sein Haupt, da er zu Tische safl.

[00:39:48] Da das seine J¸nger sahen wurden sie unwillig und sprachen:

[00:39:48] When now Jesus visited Bethany and was in the house of the leper

[00:39:48] called Simon, unto him came a woman who carried a jar of preciou

[00:39:48] ointment and poured it on his head as he sat at the table. But when

[00:39:48] his disciples saw it, they became indignant and said:

[00:39:48] 7. Chorus

[00:39:48] Wozu dienet dieser Unrat? Dieses Wasser hätte mögen teuer

[00:39:48] verkauft und den Armen gegeben werden

[00:39:48] 8. Recitative - Evangelist and Jesus

[00:39:48] Evangelist

[00:39:48] Da das Jesus merkete, sprach er zu ihnen:

[00:39:48] What end serveth all this nonsense? For this ointment might indeed

[00:39:48] have been sold for much, and the sum to the poor been given.

[00:39:48] But when Jesus noticed this, said he unto them:

[00:39:48] Jesus

[00:39:48] Was bek¸mmert ihr das Weib? Sie hat ein gut Werk an mir getan.

[00:39:48] Ihr habet allezeit Armen bei euch, mich aber habt ihr nicht allezeit.

[00:39:48] Dafl sie dies Wasser hat auf meinen Leib gegossen, hat sie getan,

[00:39:48] dafl man mich begraben wird. Wahrlich, ich sage euch: Wo dies

[00:39:48] Evangelium geprediget wird in der ganzen Welt, da wird man auch

[00:39:48] sagen zu ihrem Ged‰chtnis, was sie getan hat.

[00:39:48] Why trouble ye so this woman? For she hath done a good deed for

[00:39:48] me! Ye always have the poor with you, me though will ye not have

[00:39:48] always. That she hath poured this ointment over my body hath she

[00:39:48] done because I am to be buried. Truly I say to you: wherever this

[00:39:48] gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, there will be

[00:39:48] told also in memory of her what she hath done.

[00:39:48] 9. Recitative - Alto

[00:39:48] Du lieber Heiland du,

[00:39:48] Wenn deine J¸nger tˆricht streiten,

[00:39:48] Dafl dieses fromme Weib

[00:39:48] Mit Salben deinen Leib

[00:39:48] Zum Grabe will bereiten,

[00:39:48] So lasse mir inzwischen zu,

[00:39:48] Von meiner Augen Tr‰nenfl¸ssen

[00:39:48] Ein Wasser auf dein Haupt zu gieflen!

[00:39:48] BelovËd Savior thou,

[00:39:48] Midst thy disciples' foolish quarrel,

[00:39:48] Because this loyal dame

[00:39:48] Thy body with her oils

[00:39:48] To bury would make ready,

[00:39:48] O in the meanwhile grant me this,

[00:39:48] From these mine eyes' own streams of weeping

[00:39:48] To pour upon thy head an ointment!

[00:39:48] 10. Aria - Alto

[00:39:48] Buflí und Reuí

[00:39:48] Knirscht das S¸ndenherz entzwei,

[00:39:48] Dafl die Tropten meiner Z‰hren

[00:39:48] Angenehme Spezerei,

[00:39:48] Treuer Jesu, dir geb

[00:39:48] Guilt and pain

[00:39:48] Break the sinful heart in twain,

[00:39:48] So the teardrops of my weeping

[00:39:48] A most soothing precious balm,

[00:39:48] Beloved Jesus, thee doth offer.

[00:39:48] 11. Recitative - Evangelist and Judas

[00:39:48] Evangelist

[00:39:48] Da ging hin der Zwölfen einer, mit Namen Judas Ischarioth, zu den

[00:39:48] Hohenpriestern und sprach:

[00:39:48] Judas

[00:39:48] Was wollt ihr mir geben? Ich will ihn euch verraten.

[00:39:48] Then there went one of the twelve, whose name was Judas Iscariot,

[00:39:48] forth unto the chief priests and said:

[00:39:48] What would ye then give me? I would to you betray him to you.

[00:39:48] Evangelist

[00:39:48] Und sie boten ihm dreiflig Silberlinge. Und von dem an suchte er

[00:39:48] Gelegenheit, dafl er ihn verriete.

[00:39:48] And they offered him thirty silver pieces. And from thence forth he

[00:39:48] sought an opportunity when he might betray him.

[00:39:48] 12. Aria - Soprano

[00:39:48] Blute nur, du liebes Herz!

[00:39:48] Ach! Ein Kind, das du erzogen,

[00:39:48] Das an deiner Brust gesogen,

[00:39:48] Droht den Pfleger zu ermorder,

[00:39:48] Denn es ist zur Schlange worden.

[00:39:48] Bleed on, dear heart.

[00:39:48] Ah, a child that thou raised,

[00:39:48] That sucked at thy breast,

[00:39:48] Threatens to murder its guardian,

[00:39:48] For it has become a serpent.

[00:39:48] 13. Recitative - Evangelist and Chorus

[00:39:48] Aber am ersten Tage der s¸flen Brot traten die J¸nger zu Jesu und

[00:39:48] sprachen zu ihm:

[00:39:48] But on the first day of Unleavened Bread came the disciples to Jesu

[00:39:48] and said unto him:

[00:39:48] 14. Chorus

[00:39:48] Wo willst du, dafl wir dir bereiten, das Osterlamm zu essen? Where wilt thou that we prepare the Paschal Lamb for eating?

[00:39:48] 15. Recitative - Evangelist and Jesus

[00:39:48] Evangelist

[00:39:48] Er sprach:

[00:39:48] Jesus

[00:39:48] He said:

[00:39:48] Gehet hin in die Stadt zu einem und sprecht zu ihm: Der Meister

[00:39:48] laflt dir sagen: Meine Zeit ist hier, ich will bei dir die Ostern halten

[00:39:48] mit meinen J¸ngern.

[00:39:48] Evangelist

[00:39:48] Go ye forth to the town, to one there and say to him: The Master

[00:39:48] sends thee this message: Now my time is here, I would in thy house

[00:39:48] keep the Passover with my disciples.

[00:39:48] Und die J¸nger t‰ten, wie ihnen Jesus befohlen hatte, und

[00:39:48] bereiteten das Osterlamm. Und am Abend satzte er sich zu Tische

[00:39:48] mit den Zwˆlfen. Und da sie aflen, sprach er:

[00:39:48] The disciples did this, as Jesus had commanded them, and made

[00:39:48] ready there the paschal lamb. And at evening he sat down at the

[00:39:48] table with the twelve. And while they ate there, he said:

[00:39:48] Jesus

[00:39:48] Wahrlich, ich sage euch: Einer unter euch wird mich verraten. Truly, I say to you: there is one of you who will betray me.

[00:39:48] Recitative - Evangelist

[00:39:48] Und sie wurden sehr betr¸bt und huben an, ein jeglicher unter

[00:39:48] ihnen, und sagten zu ihm:

[00:39:48] And they were then very troubled and they began, each one of them

[00:39:48] in turn, to say unto him:

[00:39:48] Chorus

[00:39:48] Herr, bin ich's? Lord, is it I?

[00:39:48] 16. Chorale (Sung first by the choir in German, and then by the

[00:39:48] audience and choir in English. See page 27.)

[00:39:48] Ich binís, ich sollte b¸flen,

[00:39:48] An H‰nden und an F¸flen

[00:39:48] Gebunden in der Hˆll.

[00:39:48] Die Geifleln und die Banden

[00:39:48] Und was du ausgestanden,

[00:39:48] Das hat verdienet meine Seel.

[00:39:48] It is I. I should atone,

[00:39:48] My hands and feet

[00:39:48] Bound in Hell.

[00:39:48] The scourges and the fetters,

[00:39:48] And all that thou didst endure,

[00:39:48] This has my soul earned.

[00:39:48] 17. Recitative - Evangelist, Jesus, and Judas

[00:39:48] Evangelist

[00:39:48] Er antwortete und sprach: He answered thus and said:

[00:39:48] Jesus

[00:39:48] Der mit der Hand mit mir in die Sch¸ssel tauchet, der wird mich

[00:39:48] verraten. Des Menschen Sohn gehet zwar dahin, wie von ihm

[00:39:48] geschrieben stehet; doch wehe dem Menschen, durch welchen des

[00:39:48] Menschen Sohn verraten wird! Es w‰re ihm besser, dafl derselbige

[00:39:48] Mensch noch nie geboren w‰re.

[00:39:48] He who his hand with me in the dish now dippeth, this one will

[00:39:48] betray me. The Son of man indeed goeth hence, as it hath been

[00:39:48] written of him; but woe to that man through whom the Son of man

[00:39:48] hath been betrayed! It were better for him if this very man had neve

[00:39:48] been born.

[00:39:48] Evangelist

[00:39:48] Da antwortete Judas, der ihn verriet, und sprach: Then answered Judas, who betrayed him, and said:

[00:39:48] Judas

[00:39:48] Bin ich's, Rabbi? Is it I, Rabbi?

[00:39:48] Evangelist

[00:39:48] Er sprach zu ihm: He said to him:

[00:39:48] Jesus

[00:39:48] Du sagest's. Thou sayest.

[00:39:48] Evangelist

[00:39:48] Da sie aber aflen, nahm Jesus das Brot, dankete und brach's und

[00:39:48] gab's den J¸ngern und sprach:

[00:39:48] But when they had eaten, did Jesus take bread, gave thanks and

[00:39:48] brake it, and gave it to his disciples, saying:

[00:39:48] Jesus

[00:39:48] Nehmet, esset, das ist mein Leib. Take, eat, this is my Body.

[00:39:48] Evangelist

[00:39:48] Und er nahm den Kelch und dankete, gab ihnen den und sprach: And he took the cup and, giving thanks, he gave it to them, saying:

[00:39:48] Jesus

[00:39:48] Trinket alle daraus; das ist mein Blut des neuen Testaments,

[00:39:48] welches vergossen wird f¸r viele zur Vergebung der S¸nden. Ich

[00:39:48] sage euch: Ich werde von nun an nicht mehr von diesem Gew‰chs

[00:39:48] des Weinstocks trinken bis an den Tag, da ich's neu trinken werde

[00:39:48] mit euch in meines Vaters Reich.

[00:39:48] Drink, all of you, from this; this is my blood of the New Testament,

[00:39:48] which hath been poured out here for many in remission of their sin

[00:39:48] I say to you: I shall from this moment forth no more drink from this

[00:39:48] the fruit of the grapevine until the day when I shall drink it anew

[00:39:48] with you within my Father's kingdom.

[00:39:48] 18. Recitative - Soprano

[00:39:48] Wiewohl mein Herz in Tr‰nen schwimmt, Although my heart swims in tears

[00:39:48] Dafl Jesus von mir Abschied nimmt, Because Jesus takes leave of us,

[00:39:48] So macht mich doch sein Testament erfreut: Yet his testament makes me glad.

[00:39:48] Sein Fleisch und Blut, o Kostbarkeit, His flesh and blood, o preciousness,

[00:39:48] Vermacht er mir in meine H‰nde. He bequeaths into my hands.

[00:39:48] Wie er es auf der Welt mit denen Seinen As he, in the world, with his own

[00:39:48] Nicht bˆse kˆnnen meinen, Could not think evil,

[00:39:48] So liebt er sie bis an das Ende. So he still loves them to the end.

[00:39:48] 19. Aria - Soprano

[00:39:48] Ich will dir mein Herze schenken,

[00:39:48] Senke dich, mein Heil, hinein!

[00:39:48] Ich will mich in dir versenken;

[00:39:48] I will give my heart to thee;

[00:39:48] Sink thyself in it, my Salvation.

[00:39:48] I will submerge myself in thee.

[00:39:48] Ist dir gleich die Welt zu klein,

[00:39:48] Ei, so sollst du mir allein

[00:39:48] Mehr als Welt und Himmel sein.

[00:39:48] And if the world is too small for thee,

[00:39:48] Ah, then for me alone shalt thou

[00:39:48] Be more than world and heaven.

[00:39:48] 20. Recitative - Evangelist and Jesus

[00:39:48] Evangelist

[00:39:48] Und da sie den Lobgesang gesprochen hatten, gingen sie hinaus an

[00:39:48] den ÷lberg. Da sprach Jesus zu ihnen:

[00:39:48] But after the song of praise had been recited, they went out to the

[00:39:48] Mount of Olives. And there Jesus said to them:

[00:39:48] Jesus

[00:39:48] In dieser Nacht werdet ihr euch alle ‰rgern an mir. Denn es stehet

[00:39:48] geschrieben: Ich werde den Hirten schlagen, und die Schafe der

[00:39:48] Herde werden sich zerstreuen. Wenn ich aber auferstehe, will ich

[00:39:48] vor euch hingehen in Galil‰am.

[00:39:48] In this same night ye will all become annoyed for my sake. For it

[00:39:48] standeth in the scripture: I shall strike down then the shepherd, and

[00:39:48] the sheep of the flock will by themselves be scattered. When,

[00:39:48] however, I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

[00:39:48] 21. Chorale

[00:39:48] Erkenne mich, mein H¸ter,

[00:39:48] Mein Hirte, nimm mich an!

[00:39:48] Von dir, Quell aller G¸ter,

[00:39:48] Know me, my keeper,

[00:39:48] My shepherd, take me to thee.

[00:39:48] By thee, source of all good things,

[00:39:48] Ist mir viel Guts getan. Much good has befallen me.

[00:39:48] Dein Mund hat mich gelabet

[00:39:48] Mit Milch und s¸fler Kost,

[00:39:48] Dein Geist hat mich begabet

[00:39:48] Mit mancher Himmelslust.

[00:39:48] Thy mouth has refreshed me

[00:39:48] With milk and sweetmeats.

[00:39:48] Thy spirit has favored me

[00:39:48] With many a heavenly longing.

[00:39:48] 22. Recitative - Evangelist, Peter, and Jesus

[00:39:48] Evangelist

[00:39:48] Petrus aber antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Peter, however, then answerËd and said to him.

[00:39:48] Peter

[00:39:48] Wenn sie auch alle sich an dir ‰rgerten, so will ich doch mich

[00:39:48] nimmermehr ‰rgern.

[00:39:48] Although the others all be annoyed because of thee, yet will I never

[00:39:48] feel annoyance.

[00:39:48] Evangelist

[00:39:48] Jesus sprach zu ihm: Jesus said to him:

[00:39:48] Jesus

[00:39:48] Wahrlich, ich sage dir: In dieser Nacht, ehe der Hahn kr‰het, wirst

[00:39:48] du mich dreimal verleugnen.

[00:39:48] Truly, I say to thee: in this same night, before the cock croweth, wil

[00:39:48] thou three times have denied me.

[00:39:48] Evangelist

[00:39:48] Petrus sprach zu ihm: Peter said to him:

[00:39:48] Peter

[00:39:48] Und wenn ich mit dir sterben m¸flte, so will ich dich nicht

[00:39:48] verleugnen.

[00:39:48] And even if I must die with thee, I will not ever deny thee.

[00:39:48] Evangelist

[00:39:48] Desgleichen sagten auch alle J¸nger. And so declared all the other disciples.

[00:39:48] 23. Chorale

[00:39:48] Ich will hier bei dir stehen; I would stand here beside thee;

[00:39:48] Verachte mich doch nicht! Do not then scorn me!

[00:39:48] Von dir will ich nicht gehen, From thee I will not depart

[00:39:48] Wenn dir dein Herze bricht. Even if thy heart is breaking.

[00:39:48] Wenn dein Herz wird erblassen When thy heart shall grow pale

[00:39:48] Setzet euch hie, bis dafl ich dort hingehe und bete. Sit ye down here, while I go over there and pray.

[00:39:48] Evangelist

[00:39:48] Und nahm zu sich Petrum und die zween Sˆhne Zebed‰i und fing

[00:39:48] an zu trauern und zu zagen. Da sprach Jesus zu ihnen:

[00:39:48] And taking Peter with him and the two sons of Zebedee, he began t

[00:39:48] mourn and to be troubled. Then said Jesus unto them:

[00:39:48] Jesus

[00:39:48] Meine Seele ist betr¸bt bis an den Tod, bleibet hie und wachet mit

[00:39:48] mir.

[00:39:48] Now my soul is sore distressed, even to death; tarry here and keep
