ANd the whole multitude of them aro∣se / & [ A] * 1.1 ledde him vnto Pylate. And they beganne to accuse him sayinge: We ha¦ve founde this felowe pervertynge the peo∣ple / and forbiddynge to paye tribute to Cesar:* 1.2 sayinge / that he is Christ a kynge. And Pyla∣te apposed him sayinge: arte thou the kynge of the iewes? He answered him and sayde:
thou sayest it. Then sayde Pylate to the hye prestes / and to the people: I fynde noo faute in this man. And they were the moore fearce sayinge. He moveth the people / teachynge thorowout all Iewry / and beganne at Galile / even to this place.
When Pilate hearde mencion of Galile / he [ B] * 1.3 axed whether the m•• were of Galile. And as∣sone as he knewe that he was of Herodes iu∣risdiccion he sent him to Herode / which was also at Ierusalem in those dayes. And when Herode sawe Iesus / he was excedinglie glad¦de. For he was desyrous to se him of a longe season / because he had hearde many thinges of him / & trusted to have sene some myracle done by him. Then questeoned he with him of many thinges. But he answered him not* 1.4 one worde. The hye prestes and scribes / stode forthe & accused him straytly. And Herod wt his men of warre / despysed him / and mocked him / and arayed him in whyte / and sent him* 1.5 agayne to Pylate. And the same daye Pyla∣te and Herod were made frendes togeder. For before they were at variaunce.
And Pylate called to geder the hye prestes and the rulers / and the people / & sayde vnto them: Ye have brought this man vnto me / as* 1.6 one that perverted the people. And beholde I have examined him before you / & have foun∣de no faute in this man / of those thinges whe¦re [ C] of ye accuse him. No nor yet Herode. For I sent you to him: and lo no thinge worthy of deeth is done to him. I will therfore chasten
him & let him lowsse. For of necessite / he must have let one lowse vnto them at that feast.
And all the people cryed atonce sayinge: awaye with him / & delyvre to vs Barrabas:* 1.7 which for insurrccion made in the cite / & mor∣ther / was cast into preson. Pylate spake agay∣ne to them willynge to let Iesus lowse. And they cryed sayinge: Crucify him / Crucify him He sayde vnto them the thyrde tyme. What evyll hath he done? I fynde no cause of deeth in him. I will therfore chasten him / and let him lowse. And they cryed with loude voyce / and required that he myght be crucifyed. And the voyce of them and of the hye Pre∣stes prevayled.
And Pylate gave sentence that it shuld be [ D] as they required and let lowse vnto them / him that for insurreccion and morther / was cast into preson / whom they desyred: & dely∣vered Iesus to do with him what they wol∣de. And as they ledde him awaye / they caught one Symon of Syrene / commynge out of the* 1.8 felde: and on him layde they the crosse / to bea∣re it after Iesus.
And ther folowed him a greate company of* 1.9 people and of wemen / which wemē bewayled and lamented him. But Iesus turned backe vnto them / and sayde: Doughters of Ierusa∣lem / wepe not for me: but wepe for youre sel∣ves and for youre chyldren. For beholde / the* 1.10 dayes will come / when men shall saye: happy are the baren and the wombes that never ba∣re / and the pappes which never gave sucke.
Then shall they beginne to saye to the monn¦taynes / fall* 1.11 on vs: and to the hilles / cover vs. For yf they do this to a grene tree / what shal∣be done to the drye?
And therwere two e••yll daers ledde with [ E] him to be slayne. And when they were come* 1.12 to the place / which is called Calvary / there they crucified him / and the evyll doers / one on ryght honde / and the other on the lefte. Then sayde Iesus: father forgeve them / for they woot not what they do. And they parted his rayment / and cast loottes. And the people sto∣de and behelde.
And the rulers mocked him with thē say∣ing:* 1.13 he holpe other men / let him helpe him sel¦fe / yf he be Christ the chosen of god. The sou¦diers also mocked him / & came and gave him veneger and sayde: yf thou be that kynge of ye Iewes / save thy silfe. And his superscripciō was writtē over him / in greke / in latine and Ebreu: This is the kynge of the Iewes.
And one of the evyll doers which hanged / rayled on him sayinge: If thou be Christ save [ F] thy selfe and vs. The other answered and re∣buked him sayinge. Net herfearest thou god / because thou arte in the same damnacion? We are righteously punesshed / for we recea∣ve accordynge to oure dedes: But this man hath done nothinge amysse. And he sayde vn¦to Iesus: Lorde remember me when thou co∣mest into thy kyngdome. And Iesus sayde vnto him: Verely I saye vnto the / to daye shalt thou be with me in Paradyse.* 1.14
And it was about the sixt houre. And ther came a darcknes over all the londe / vntyll ye nynth houre / and the sonne was darckened.* 1.15 And the vayle of the temple dyd rent even thorow the myddes. And Iesus cryed with a greate voyce and sayd: Father / into thy hon∣des* 1.16 I cōmende my sprete. And when he thus had sayd / he gave vp the goost. When ye Cen¦turion sawe what had happened / he glorified God sayinge: Of a surtie this man was per∣fecte. And all the people that came to geder* 1.17 to that sight / beholdynge the thinges which were done: smoote their bestes / and returned home. And all his acquayntaunce / and the wemen / that folowed him from Galile / stode a farre of beholdynge these thinges.
And beholde ther was a man named Io∣seph / a [ G] councelloure / and was a good man & a* 1.18 iuste / & dyd not consent to the counsell and de∣de of them / which was of Aramathia / a cite of the Iewes: which same also wayted for ye kyngdome of God: he went vnto Pilate / & beg¦ged the boddy of Iesus / and toke it doune / & wrapped it in a lynnen clooth / and layed it in an hewen toumbe / wherin was never man before layed. ✚ And that daye was ye Saboth even'& the Saboth drue on. The wemen that folowed after / which came with him from Galile / behelde the sepulcre and how his bo∣dy was layed. And they returned & prepared odoures and oyntmētes: but rested the Sa∣both daye / accordynge to the commaunde∣ment.
