1 Iesus is broght before Pilate and Herode. 18 Of Barab∣bas. 26 Of Simon the Cyrenian. 27 The women make lamentacion. 33 Christ crucified. 34 He prayeth for hys enemies. 40 He conuerteth the these and many others at his death. 53 And is buryed.* 1.1 * 1.2
1 THen * the whole multitude of them aro∣se, and led him vntoa 1.3 〈◊〉〈◊〉.
2 And they began to accuse hym, saying, We haue founde this mā peruerting the people, and forbyddynge to paye tribute to Cesar,
saying, That he is Christ a King.
3 * And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the* 1.4 King of the Iewes? And he answered him, ād* 1.5 said, Thou faist it.* 1.6
4 Then said Pilate to the hie Priests, and to the people, I finde no faute in this man.
5 But they were the more fierce, saying, He moueth the people, teaching through out all Iudea, beginning at Galile, euen to this place.
6 Now when Pilate heard of Galile, he asked whether the man were a Galilean.
7 And when he knewe that he was of Hero∣des iurisdiction, heb 1.7 sent him to Herode, which was also at Ierusalem“ 1.8 in those daies.
8 And when Herode sawe Iesus, he was ex∣ceadingly glad: for he wasc 1.9 desirous to se him of a long season, because he had heard manie things of him, and trusted to haue sene some“ 1.10 signe done by him.
9 Then questioned he with him of manie things: but he answered himd 1.11 nothing.
10 The hie Priests also and Scribes stode for the and accused him vehemently.
11 And Herode with his“ 1.12 men of warre, despi∣sed him, and mocked him, and arrayed him ine 1.13 “ 1.14 white, and sent him againe to Pilate.
12 * And the same daye Pilate and Herode were made friends together: for before they were enemies one to another.
13 ¶ Thē Pilate called together the hie Priests; and the rulers, and the people,
14 And said vnto thē, Ye haue broght this man* 1.15 vnto me, as one that peruerted the people:* 1.16 and beholde, I haue examined him before* 1.17 you, and haue founde no faute in this man, of those things where of ye accuse him:
15 No, nor yet Herode: for I sent you to him: and lo, nothing worthie of death is done“ 1.18 to him.
16 I wil therefore chastise him, and let him lowse.
17 [For off 1.19 necessitie he must haue let one lowse vnto them at the feast.]
18 Then all the multitude cryed at once, saying, Away with him, and deliuer to vs Bar∣rabbas:
19 Which for a certeine insurrection made in the citie, and murther was cast in prison.
20 Then Pilate spake againe to them, willing to let Iesus lowse.
21 But they cryed, saying, Crucifie, crucifie him.
22 And he said vnto them the third time, But what euil hathe he done? I findeg 1.20 no cause of death in him: I wil therefore chastise him and let him lowse.
23 But they were instant with loude voyces, and required that he might be crucified: and the voyces of them and of the hie Priests preuailed.
24 So Pilate gaue sentence, that it shulde be as they required.
25 And he let lowse vnto them him that for in∣surrection and murther was cast into prison, whome thei desired, and deliuered Iesus to do with him what they wolde.
26 ¶ * And as they led him awaye, they caught* 1.21 one Simon of Cyrene, comming out of the* 1.22 field, ād on him they laid the crosse, to beare it after Iesus.
27 And there followed him a great multitude of people, and of women, which women be∣wailed and lamented him.
28 But Iesus turned backe vnto thē, and said,“ 1.23 Daughters of Ierusalē, wepe not for me, but wepe for your selues, and for your children.
29 For beholde, the daies wil come, when men shal say, Blessed (are) the barren, and the wom bes that neuer bare, and the pappes which neuer gaue sucke.
30 Then shal they beginne to say to the moun∣taines, * Fall on vs: and to the hilles, Couer* 1.24 vs.* 1.25 * 1.26
31 * For if they do these things to ah 1.27 grenetre,* 1.28 what shalbe done to the drye?
32 * And there were two others, which were* 1.29 euil doers, led with him to be slayne.* 1.30 * 1.31
33 And when they were come to the place, which is called“ 1.32 caluerie, there thei crucified him, and the euil doers: one at the right hand and the other at the left.
34 Then said Iesus, Father, forgiue them: for they knowe not what thei do. And thei par∣ted his rayment, and cast lots,
35 And the people stode, and behelde: and the rulers mocked him with them, saying, He sa∣ued others: let him saue him self, if he be the Christ, thei 1.33 Chosen of God.
36 The souldiers also mocked him, and came and offred himk 1.34 vineger,
37 And said, If thou be the King of the Iewes, saue thy self.
38 And a superscription was also written ouer him, inl 1.35 Greke lettres, and in Latin, and in Hebrewe, THIS IS THE KING OF THE IEWES.
39 ¶ And one of the euil doers, which were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou be the Christ, saue thy self and vs.
40 But the other answered, and rebuked him, saying,m 1.36 Fearest thou not God, seing thou art in the same condemnacion?
41 We are in dede righteously (here): for were ceiue things worthie of that we haue done: but this man hathe done nothing amisse.
42 And he said vnto Iesus, Lord, remember me, when thou comest into thy kingdome.
43 Then Iesus said vnto him, Verely I say vnto thee, to day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.
44 ¶ And it was about then 1.37 sixt houre: and the∣re was a darkenes ouer all the land, vntil the ninth houre.
45 And the sunne was darkened, and the vaile of the Temple rent through the middes.
46 And Iesus cryed with a loude voyce, and said, * Father, into thine hands I commend* 1.38 my spirit. And when he thus had said, He ga∣ue vp the gost.
was done, he glorisied God, saying, Of a sure tie this man was iuste.
48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things, which were done, smote their brests, and returned,
49 And all his acquaintance stode a farre of, and the women that followed him from Ga∣lile, beholding these things.
50 ¶ *And beholde, there was a man named* 1.41 Ioseph, which was a counseller, a good man* 1.42 and a iust.* 1.43
51 He did not consent to the counsel and dede of them, (which was) of Arimathea; a citie of the Iewes: who also himself“ 1.44p 1.45 waited for the kingdome of God.
52 He went vnto Pilate, and asked the bodie of Iesus,
53 And toke it downe, and wrapped it in a lin∣nen cloth, and laid it in a toumbe hewen out of a rocke, where in was neuer man yet laid.
54 And that day was theq 1.46 Preparacion, and the Sabbathr 1.47 drewe on.
55 And the women also that followed after, which came with him from Galile, behelde the sepulchre, and how his bodie was laid.
56 And thei returned and prepared odores, & ointmens, and rested the Sabbath (day) ac∣cording to the commandement.
