Bach's music in final sequence


At the very end, when the different levels of time overlap, the camera focuses on the young mother and when the man asks her how many children does she want, her eyes start watering. At this very moment, Bach chorus start off. I know it is from his PASSION, but do you know is it St Jean or St Mattew ? Thanks

According to imdb , this the music heard in the film :

Johann Sebastian Bach (1. Coro "Herr, unser Herrscher, dessen Ruhm" from "Johannespassion" BWV. 245)
Johann Sebastian Bach (16. "Das alte Jahre vergangen ist" BWV 614, from "Orgelbüchlein")
Johann Sebastian Bach (33. Retitativo - Evangelist "Und siehe da, der Vorhang im Tempel" from "Johannespassion" BWV. 245)
Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (12. "Quando corpus" from "Stabat Mater")
Henry Purcell (song "They Tell Us That Your Mighty Powers" from opera "The Indian Queen" Act 4)

- Who is God ?
- When you close your eyes and make a wish, God is the one who doesn't care about.
