¹And straightway in the morning the chiefe Priests helde a consultation with the Elders and Scribes, and the whole Councell, and bound Iesus, and caried him away, and deliuered him to Pilate.

²And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Iewes? And hee answering, said vnto him, Thou sayest it.

³And the chiefe Priests accused him of many things: but hee answered nothing.

⁴And Pilate asked him againe, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witnesse against thee.

⁵But Iesus yet answered nothing, so that Pilate marueiled.

⁶Now at that Feast he released vnto them one prisoner, whomsoeuer they desired.

⁷And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

⁸And the multitude crying alowd, began to desire him to doe as he had euer done vnto them.

⁹But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release vnto you the King of the Iewes?

¹⁰(For hee knew that the chiefe Priests had deliuered him for enuie.)

¹¹But the chiefe Priests mooued the people, that hee should rather release Barabbas vnto them.

¹²And Pilate answered, and said againe vnto them, What will yee then that I shall do vnto him whom ye call the King of the Iewes?

¹³And they cried out againe, Crucifie him.

¹⁴Then Pilate saide vnto them, Why, what euill hath hee done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucifie him.

¹⁵And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas vnto them, and deliuered Iesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

¹⁶And the souldiers led him away into the hall, called Pretorium, and they call together the whole band.

¹⁷And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crowne of thornes, and put it about his head,

¹⁸And beganne to salute him, Haile King of the Iewes.

¹⁹And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit vpon him, and bowing their knees, worshipped him.

²⁰And when they had mocked him, they tooke off the purple from him, and put his owne clothes on him, and led him out to crucifie him.

²¹And they compell one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, comming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to beare his Crosse.

²²And they bring him vnto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, the place of a skull.

²³And they gaue him to drinke, wine mingled with myrrhe: but he receiued it not.

²⁴And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots vpon them, what euery man should take.

²⁵And it was the third houre, and they crucified him.

²⁶And the superscription of his accusation was written ouer, THE KING OF THE IEWES.

²⁷And with him they crucifie two theeues, the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

²⁸And the Scripture was fulfilled, which sayeth, And hee was numbred with the transgressours.

²⁹And they that passed by, railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah thou that destroyest the Temple, and buildest it in three dayes,

³⁰Saue thy selfe, and come downe from the Crosse.

³¹Likewise also the chiefe Priests mocking, said among themselues with the Scribes, He saued others, himselfe he cannot saue.

³²Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the Crosse, that we may see and beleeue: And they that were crucified with him, reuiled him.

³³And when the sixth houre was come, there was darkenesse ouer the whole land, vntill the ninth houre.

³⁴And at the ninth houre, Iesus cryed with a loude voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lamasabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

³⁵And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.

³⁶And one ranne, and filled a spunge full of vineger, and put it on a reed, and gaue him to drinke, saying, Let alone, let vs see whether Elias will come to take him downe.

³⁷And Iesus cryed with a loude voice, and gaue vp the ghost.

³⁸And the vaile of the Temple was rent in twaine, from the top to the bottome.

³⁹And when the Centurion which stood ouer against him, saw that hee so cryed out, and gaue vp the ghost, hee said, Truely this man was the Sonne of God.

⁴⁰There were also women looking on afarre off, among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Iames the lesse, and of Ioses, and Salome:

⁴¹Who also when hee was in Galile, followed him, and ministred vnto him, and many other women which came vp with him vnto Hierusalem.

⁴²And now when the euen was come, (because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath)

⁴³Ioseph of Arimathea, an honourable counseller, which also waited for the kingdome of God, came, and went in boldly vnto Pilate, and craued the body of Iesus.

⁴⁴And Pilate marueiled if he were already dead, and calling vnto him the Centurion, hee asked him whether hee had beene any while dead.

⁴⁵And when he knew it of the Centurion, he gaue the body to Ioseph.

⁴⁶And hee bought fine linnen, and tooke him downe, and wrapped him in the linnen, and laide him in a sepulchre, which was hewen out of a rocke, and rolled a stone vnto the doore of the sepulchre.
