¶ The .xix. Chap.

THen Pylate toke Iesus and scourged [ A] * 1.1 him. And y^e soudiers wounde a croune of thornes and put it on his heed. And they dyd on him a purple garment / and sayd: hayll kynge of the Iewes: & they smote him on the face. Pylate went forthe agayne / & say∣de vnto them: beholde I bringe him forth to you / that ye maye knowe / that I fynde no fau¦te in him. Then came Iesus forthe wearyn∣ge a croune of thorne and a robe of purple. And Pylate sayd vnto them: beholde y^e man. When the hye Prestes and ministres sawe him / they cryed sayinge: crucify him / crucify him. Pylate sayde vnto them. Take ye him and crucify him: for I fynde no cause in him. The Iewes answered him. We have a lawe / and by oure lawe he ought to dye: because he made him selfe the sonne of God.

When Pylate hearde that sayinge / he was [ B] the moare afrayde / & went agayne into y^e iudg¦ment hall / and sayde vnto Iesus: whence arte thou? But Iesus gave him none answere. Then sayde Pylate vnto him. Speakest thou not vnto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify the / & have power to lowse the? Iesus answered: Thou couldest have no power at all agaynst me / except it were geven the from above. Therfore he y^t delyvered me vnto the / is moare in synne. And from thence forthe sought Pylate meanes to lowse him: but the Iewes cryed sayinge: yf thou let him goo / thou arte not Cesars frende. For whosoe¦ver maketh h•• selfe a kynge / is agaynst Cesar

When Pylate hearde y^t sayinge / he brought Iesus forthe / and sate doune to geve sentēce / in a place called the pavement: but in the He∣brue tonge / Gabbatha. It was the Saboth even which falleth in the ester fest / and abou∣te the sixte houre. And he sayde vnto the Ie∣wes: beholde youre kynge. They cryed / awaye with him / awaye with him / crucify him. Pylate sayde vnto them. Shall I cruci∣fy youre kynge? The hye Prestes answered: we have no kynge but Cesar. Then delyve∣red he him vnto them / to be crucified. [ B] * 1.2

And they toke Iesus and led him awaye. And he bare his crosse / and went forthe into a place called the place of deed mens sculles / which is named in Hebrue / Golgatha. Whe∣re they crucified him and two other with him on ether syde one / and Iesus in the myddes. And Pylate wrote his tytle / and put it on the crosse. The writynge was / Iesus of Naza∣reth / kynge of the Iewes. This tytle reed ma¦ny of the Iewes. For the place where Iesus was crucified / was nye to the cite. And it was written in Hebrue / Greke & Latyn. Then say¦de the hye prestes of y^e Iewes to Pylate: wry∣te not / kynge of the Iewes: but that he sayde / I am kynge of the Iewes. Pylate answered:* 1.3 what I have written / that have I written.

Then the soudiers / when they had crucified [ E] Iesus / toke his garmentes & made foure par∣tes / to every soudier a parte / & also his coote. The coote was with out seme / wrought vpon thorowe out. And they sayde one to another.

Let vs not devyde it: but cast loost•• who shall have it That the scripture myght be fulfilled which sayth. They parted my rayment amon¦ge* 1.4 them / and on my coote dyd cast lottes. And the sou••iers dyd soche thinges in dede.

Ther stode by the crosse of Iesus his mo¦ther / & his mothers sister / Mary the wyfe of Cleophas / and Mary Magdalene. When Ie¦sus sawe his mother / and the disciple stondyn¦ge whom he loved / he sayde vnto his mother: woman beholde thy sonne. Then sayde he to y^• disciple: beholde thy mother. And frō that houre the disciple toke her for his awne.

After that when Iesus perceaved that all [ F] thinges were performed: that the scripture* 1.5 myght be fulfilled / he sayde: I thyrst. Ther stode a vessell full of veneger by. And they fil¦led a sponge with veneger / & wounde it about with ysope / and put it to his mouth. Assone as Iesus had receaved of the veneger / he sayd: It is fynesshed / and bowed his heed / and ga¦ue vp the goost.

The Iewes then because it was the saboth evē / that y^e bodyes shuld not remayne apon y^• crosse on y^• saboth daye (for that saboth daye was an hye daye) besought Pylate that their legges myght be broken & that they myght be taken doune. Then came the soudiers and br••¦ke the legges of the fyrst / & of the other which was crucified with Iesus. But when they ca¦me to Iesus / & sawe that he was deed already they brake not his legges: but one of the sou¦diers with a speare / thrust him into the syde /

& forthwith came ther out bloud and water.

And he that sawe it / bare recorde / & his re∣corde is true. And he knoweth that he sayth true / that ye myght beleve also. These thin¦ges* 1.6 were done that the scripture shuld be ful¦filled: Ye shall not breake a boone of him. And agayne another scripture sayth: They [ G] shall looke on him / whom they pearsed.

After that / Ioseph of Aramathia (which* 1.7 was a disciple of Iesus: but secretly for feare of y^e Iewes) besought Pylate that he myght take doune the body of Iesus. And Pylate ga¦ve him licence. And ther cam also Nicodemuo which at the beginnynge came to Iesus by nyght / & brought of myrre and aloes mingled to gether aboute an hundred pounde wayght Then toke they the body of Iesu & wounde it in lynnen clothes with the odoures as y^e ma¦ner of the Iewes is to bury. And in the place where Iesus was crucified / was a garden / & in y^e garden a newe sepulchre / wherin was ne¦ver man layd••. There layd•• they Iesus becau¦se of the Iewes saboth even / for the sepulcre was nye at honde. ⊢
