¹ Then the whole multitude of them arose, and led him vnto Pilate.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We haue found this man peruerting the nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Cesar, saying, That he is Christ a King.

³ And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Iewes? And hee answered him, and sayd, Thou sayest it.

⁴ Then sayd Pilate to the hie Priests, and to the people, I finde no fault in this man.

⁵ But they were the more fierce, saying, He moueth the people, teaching throughout all Iudea, beginning at Galile, euen to this place.

⁶ Nowe when Pilate heard of Galile, he asked whether the man were a Galilean.

⁷ And when he knewe that he was of Herods iurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, which was also at Hierusalem in those dayes.

⁸ And when Herod sawe Iesus, hee was exceedingly glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him, and trusted to haue seene some signe done by him.

⁹ Then questioned hee with him of many things: but he answered him nothing.

¹⁰ The hie Priests also and Scribes stood forth, and accused him vehemently.

¹¹ And Herod with his men of warre, despised him, and mocked him, and arayed him in white, and sent him againe to Pilate.

¹² And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were enemies one to another.

¹³ Then Pilate called together the hie Priests and the rulers, and the people,

¹⁴ And sayd vnto them, Ye haue brought this man vnto me, as one that peruerted the people: and beholde, I haue examined him before you, and haue found no fault in this man, of those things whereof ye accuse him:

¹⁵ No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him: and loe, nothing worthy of death is done of him.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose.

¹⁷ (For of necessitie hee must haue let one loose vnto them at the feast.)

¹⁸ Then all ye multitude cried at once, saying, Away with him, and deliuer vnto vs Barabbas:

¹⁹ Which for a certaine insurrection made in the citie, and murder, was cast in prison.

²⁰ Then Pilate spake againe to them, willing to let Iesus loose.

²¹ But they cried, saying, Crucifie, crucifie him.

²² And he sayd vnto them the third time, But what euill hath he done? I finde no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose.

²³ But they were instant with loude voyces, and required that he might be crucified: and the voyces of them and of the hie Priests preuailed.

²⁴ So Pilate gaue sentence, that it should be as they required.

²⁵ And he let loose vnto them him that for insurrection and murder was cast into prison, whome they desired, and deliuered Iesus to doe with him what they would.

²⁶ And as they led him away, they caught one Simon of Cyrene, comming out of the fielde, and on him they layde the crosse, to beare it after Iesus.

²⁷ And there followed him a great multitude of people, and of women, which women bewailed and lamented him.

²⁸ But Iesus turned backe vnto them, and said, Daughters of Hierusalem, weepe not for me, but weepe for your selues, and for your children.

²⁹ For behold, the dayes wil come, when men shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombes that neuer bare, and the pappes which neuer gaue sucke.

³⁰ Then shall they begin to say to the mountaines, Fall on vs: and to the hilles, Couer vs.

³¹ For if they doe these things to a greene tree, what shalbe done to the drie?

³² And there were two others, which were euill doers, led with him to be slaine.

³³ And when they were come to the place, which is called Caluarie, there they crucified him, and the euill doers: one at the right hand, and the other at the left.

³⁴ Then sayd Iesus, Father, forgiue them: for they know not what they doe. And they parted his raiment, and cast lottes.

³⁵ And the people stoode, and behelde: and the rulers mocked him with them, saying, He saued others: let him saue himselfe, if hee be that Christ, the Chosen of God.

³⁶ The souldiers also mocked him, and came and offered him vineger,

³⁷ And said, If thou be the King of the Iewes, saue thy selfe.

³⁸ And a superscription was also written ouer him, in Greeke letters, and in Latin, and in Hebrewe, THIS IS THAT KING OF THE JEWES.

³⁹ And one of the euill doers, which were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou be that Christ, saue thy selfe and vs.

⁴⁰ But the other answered, and rebuked him, saying, Fearest thou not God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

⁴¹ We are in deede righteously here: for we receiue things worthy of that we haue done: but this man hath done nothing amisse.

⁴² And he sayd vnto Iesus, Lord, remember me, when thou commest into thy kingdome.

⁴³ Then Iesus said vnto him, Verely I say vnto thee, to day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.

⁴⁴ And it was about the sixt houre: and there was a darkenes ouer all the land, vntill the ninth houre.

⁴⁵ And the Sunne was darkened, and the vaile of the Temple rent through the middes.

⁴⁶ And Iesus cryed with a loude voyce, and sayd, Father, into thine hands I commend my spirit. And when hee thus had sayd, hee gaue vp the ghost.

⁴⁷ Nowe when the Centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Of a suretie this man was iust.

⁴⁸ And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things, which were done, smote their brestes, and returned.

⁴⁹ And all his acquaintance stood a farre off, and the women that followed him from Galile, beholding these things.

⁵⁰ And beholde, there was a man named Ioseph, which was a counseller, a good man and a iust.

⁵¹ Hee did not consent to the counsell and deede of them, which was of Arimathea, a citie of the Iewes: who also himselfe waited for the kingdome of God.

⁵² He went vnto Pilate, and asked the body of Iesus,

⁵³ And tooke it downe, and wrapped it in a linnen cloth, and laide it in a tombe hewen out of a rocke, wherein was neuer man yet laide.

⁵⁴ And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drewe on.

⁵⁵ And the women also that followed after, which came with him from Galile, behelde the sepulchre, and how his body was layd.

⁵⁶ And they returned and prepared odours, and ointments, and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandement.
