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

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

  • 10. The hie Priests also & 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,

  • 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.)

  • 19. Which for a certaine insurrection made in the citie, and murther, 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 murther was cast into prison, whome they desired, and deliuered Iesus to doe with him what they would.

  • 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, & 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; 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 Iewes.
  • 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, Lorde, remember me, when thou commest into thy kingdome.

  • 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, & wrapped it in a linnen cloth, and laide it in a tombe hewen out of a rocke, wherein was neuer man yet laide.
