Being gone to the place that Iudas the Traitor did knovv, 4 he offereth him self to the hand of his enemies, shovveth his Diuine might in ouerthrovving them al vvith a vvord, and in sauing his Apostles from them also vvith a vvord: 10 rebu∣keth Peter that vvould defend him from them: 1•• and so being apprehended, is brought bound to Annas and Caipha••, vvhere he is striken by a seruant, and thrise denied of Peter. 28 Againe in the morning he is by them brought to Pilate. 29 Who demaunding their accusation, vvhereas they vvould oppresse him vvith their authoritie, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and examining the point of his kingdom, pronounceth him innocent: yet they cri•• rather to haue a theeues life saued.

[verse 1] WHEN IESVS had said these things,* 1.1 he vvent forth vvith his disciples beyond the Torrent-Ce∣dron,* 1.2 vvhere vvas a garden,* 1.3 into the vvhich he entred and his Disciples.* 1.4 ✝ [rightJustify 2] And Iudas also, that betraied him, knevv the place: because IESVS had often re∣sorted thither together vvith his Disciples. ✝ [rightJustify 3] * Iudas therfore hauing receiued the band of men,* 1.5 and of the cheefe Priests and the Pharisees,* 1.6 ministers, commeth thither vvith lanternes and torches and vveapons. ✝ [rightJustify 4] IESVS therfore knovving al things that should come vpon him,* 1.7 vvent forth, and said to them, Vvhom seeke ye? ✝ [rightJustify 5] they ansvvered him, IESVS of Nazareth. IESVS saith to them, I am he. And Iudas also that betraied him, stoode vvith them. ✝ [rightJustify 6] As sone therfore as he said to them, I am he: they vvent backvvard, and fel to the ground. ✝ [rightJustify 7] Againe therfore he asked them, Vvhom seeke ye? And they said, IESVS of Nazareth. ✝ [rightJustify 18] IESVS ansvvered, haue told you, that I am he, if therfore you seeke me, let these goe their vvaies. ✝ [rightJustify 9] That the vvord might be fulfilled vvhich he said,* 1.8 * That of them vvhom thou hast giuen me, I haue not lost any. ✝ [rightJustify 10] Simon Peter therfore hauing a svvord, drevve it out: and smote the seruant of the high priest: & cut of his right eare. And the name of the seruant vvas Malchus. ✝ [rightJustify 11] IESVS therfore said to Peter, Put vp thy svvord into the scabbard. The chalice vvhich my father hath giuen me, shal not I drinke it? ✝ [rightJustify 12] The band therfore and the Tribune & the ministers of the Ievves apprehended IESVS, and bound him: ✝ [rightJustify 13] and they brought him to Annas first, for he vvas father in lavv to Caiphas, vvho vvas the high priest of that yere. ✝ [rightJustify 14] And * Caiphas vvas he that had giuen the cousel to the Ievves,* 1.9 That it is expedient that one man die for the people.

✝ [rightJustify 15] * And Simon Peter folovved IESVS,* 1.10 and an other dis∣ciple.* 1.11 And that Disciple vvas knovven to the high priest, and

vvent in vvith IESVS into the court of the high priest. ✝ [leftJustify 16] but Peter stoode at the doore vvithout. The other disciple ther∣fore that vvas knovven to the high Priest, vvent forth, and spake to the portresse, and brought in Peter. ✝ [leftJustify 17] The vvench therfore that vvas portresse, saith to Peter, Art not thou also of this mans disciples? He saith to her,∷ 1.12 I am not. ✝ [leftJustify 18] And the seruants and ministers stoode at a fire of coles, because it vvas cold, and vvarmed them selues. And vvith them vvas Peter also standing, and vvarming him self.

✝ [leftJustify 19] The high priest therfore asked IESVS of his disciples, and of his doctrine. ✝ [leftJustify 20] IESVS ansvvered him, I haue openly spokē to the vvorld: I haue alvvaies taught in the synagogue, and in the temple vvhither al, the Ievves resort together: and in secrete I haue spoken nothing. ✝ [leftJustify 21] Vvhy askest thou me? aske them that haue heard vvhat I haue spoken vnto them: behold they knovv vvhat things I haue said. ✝ [leftJustify 22] Vvhen he had said these things, one of the ministers stāding by, gaue IESVS a blovv, saying, Ansvverest thou the high priest so? ✝ [leftJustify 23] IESVS ansvvered him, If I haue spoken il, giue testimonie of euil: but if vvel, vvhy strikest thou me?

✝ [leftJustify 24] And Annas sent him bound to Caiphas the high priest. ✝ [leftJustify 25] And Simon Peter vvas standing, and vvarming him self. They said therfore to him, Art not thou also of his disciples? He denied and said: I am not. ✝ [leftJustify 26] One of the seruants of the high priest saith to him, his cosin vvhose eare Peter did cut of, Did not I see thee in the garden vvith him? ✝ [leftJustify 27] Againe ther∣fore Peter denied: and forth vvith the cocke crevve.

✝ [leftJustify 28] * They therfore bring IESVS from Caiphas into the Palace.* 1.13 And it vvas morning:* 1.14 and they vvent not in into the Palace,* 1.15 that they might not be contaminated,* 1.16 but that they might eate the Pasche. ✝ [leftJustify 29] Pilate therfore vvent forth to them vvithout, and said, Vvhat accusation bring you against this man? ✝ [leftJustify 30] They ansvvered and said to him, If he vvere not a malefactour, vve vvould not haue deliuered him vp to thee. ✝ [leftJustify 31] Pilate therfore said to them, Take him you, and according to your lavv iudge him.* 1.17 The Ievves therfore said to him, It is not lavvful for vs to kil any man.* 1.18 ✝ [leftJustify 32] * That the vvord of IESVS might be fulfilled vvhich he said, signifying what death he should die.

✝ [leftJustify 33] * Pilate therfore vvent into the Palace againe,* 1.19 and cal∣led IESVS, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Ievves?

✝ [rightJustify 34] IESVS ansvvered, Saiest thou this of thy self, or haue others told it thee of me? ✝ [rightJustify 35] Pilate answered, Vvhy, am I a Iewe? ∷ 1.20 Thy nation, and the cheefe priests haue deliuered thee vp to me: vvhat hast thou done? ✝ [rightJustify 36] IESVS ansvvered, My king∣dom is not of this vvorld. if my kingdō vvere of this vvorld, my ministers verily vvould striue that I should not be deli∣uered to the Ievves. but novv my kingdom is not from hēce, ✝ [rightJustify 37] Pilate therfore said to him, Art thou a king then? IESVS ansvvered, Thou saiest, that I am a king. For this vvas I bor∣ne, and for this came I into the vvorld: that I should giue testimonie to the truth. Euery one that is of the truth, heareth my voice. ✝ [rightJustify 38] Pilate saith to him, Vvhat is truth?

And vvhen he had said this, he vvent forth againe to the Ievves,* 1.21 and saith to them, I finde no cause in him. ✝ [rightJustify 39] * But you haue a custome that I should release one to you in the Pasche: vvil you therfore that I rel••ase vnto you the king of the Ievves? ✝ [rightJustify 40] They al therfore cried againe, saying, Not him but Barabbas. And Barabbas vvas a theefe.
