1 Christ is deliuered bound to Pilate. 3 Iudas hangeth himselfe. 19 Pilate admonished of his wise, 24 washeth his hands: 26 and looseth Barabbas. 29 Christ is crowned with thornes, 34 crucified, 40 reuiled, 50 dieth, and is buried: 66 his Sepulchre is sealed, and watched.
1
1 When the morning was come, all the chiefe Priests and Elders of the people, tooke counsell against Iesus to put him to death.1
2
2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and deliuered him to Pontius Pilate the gouernour.
3
3 ¶ Then Iudas, which had betraied him, when he saw that hee was condemned, repented himselfe, and brought againe the thirtie pieces of siluer to the chiefe Priests and Elders,
4
4 Saying, I haue sinned, in that I haue betraied the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to vs? see thou to that.
5
5 And hee cast downe the pieces of siluer in the Temple, and departed, and went and hanged himselfe.5
6
6 And the chiefe Priests tooke the siluer pieces, and said, It is not lawfull for to put them into the treasurie, because it is the price of blood.
7
7 And they tooke counsell, and bought with them the potters field, to burie strangers in.
8
8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood vnto this day.8
9
9 (Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Ieremie the Prophet, saying, And they tooke the thirtie pieces of siluer, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value:9
10
10 And gaue them for the potters field, as the Lord appointed me.)
11
11And Iesus stood before the gouernour, and the gouernour asked him, saying; Art thou the King of the Iewes? And Iesus sayd vnto him, Thou sayest.
12
12 And when hee was accused of the chiefe Priests and Elders, he answered nothing.
13
13 Then saith Pilate vnto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witnesse against thee?
14
14 And he answered him to neuer a word: insomuch that the Gouernour marueiled greatly.
15
15 Now at that feast the Gouernor was woont to release vnto the people a prisoner, whom they would.15
16
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17
17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said vnto them, Whom will ye that I release vnto you? Barabbas, or Iesus, which is called Christ?
18
18 For hee knew that for enuie they had deliuered him.
19
19 ¶ When he was set downe on the Iudgement seate, his wife sent vnto him, saying, Haue thou nothing to doe with that iust man: for I haue suffered many things this day in a dreame, because of him.
20
20 But the chiefe Priestes and Elders perswaded the multitude that they should aske Barabbas, & destroy Iesus.20
21
21 The Gouernour answered, and said vnto them, Whether of the twaine will ye that I release vnto you? They said, Barabbas.
22
22 Pilate said vnto them, What shall I doe then with Iesus, which is called Christ? They all sayde vnto him, Let him be crucified.
23
23 And the Gouernour said, Why, what euil hath he done? But they cried out þe more, saying, Let him be crucified.
24
24 ¶ When Pilate saw that he could preuaile nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, hee tooke water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this iust person: see yee to it.
25
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on vs, and on our children.
26
26 ¶ Then released hee Barabbas vnto them, and when he had scourged Iesus, he deliuered him to be crucified.
27
27 Then the souldiers of the Gouernour tooke Iesus into the common hall, and gathered vnto him the whole band of souldiers.27
28
28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
29
29 ¶ And when they had platted a crowne of thornes, they put it vpon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Haile king of the Iewes.
30
30 And they spit vpon him, and tooke the reed, and smote him on the head.
31
31 And after that they had mocked him, they tooke the robe off from him, and put his owne raiment on him, and led him away to crucifie him.
32
32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to beare his Crosse.32
33
33 And when they were come vnto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,33
34
34 ¶ They gaue him vineger to drinke, mingled with gall: and when hee had tasted thereof, hee would not drinke.
35
35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet, They parted my garments among them, and vpon my vesture did they cast lots.35
36
36 And sitting downe, they watched him there:
37
37 And set vp ouer his head, his accusation written, THIS IS IESVS THE KING OF THE IEWES.
38
38 Then were there two theeues crucified with him: one on the right hand, and another on the left.
39
39 ¶ And they that passed by, reuiled him, wagging their heads,
40
40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the Temple, & buildest it in three dayes, saue thy selfe: If thou be the Sonne of God, come downe from the Crosse.
