¹WHY do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

²The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,

³Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

⁵Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

⁶Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

¹⁷And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;

¹⁸That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

¹⁹And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

²⁰And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

¹⁹¶ The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.

²⁰Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.

²¹Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.

²²And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

²³Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?

²⁴Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

¹⁹¶ The high Priest then asked Iesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.

²⁰Iesus answered him, I spake openly to the world, I euer taught in the Synagogue, and in the Temple, whither the Iewes alwayes resort, and in secret haue I said nothing:

²¹Why askest thou me? Aske them which heard me, what I haue said vnto them: behold, they know what I said.

²²And when hee had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by, stroke Iesus ^‖with the palme of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the hie priest so?

²³Iesus answered him, If I haue spoken euill, beare witnesse of the euill: but if well, why smitest thou me?

^24*Now Annas had sent him bound vnto Caiaphas the high Priest.

^18:28¶ Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

^18:29Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

^18:30They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.

^18:31Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:

^18:32That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.

^18:33Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

^18:34Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?

^18:35Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?

^18:36Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

^18:37Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

^18:38Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

^18:39But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

^18:40Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

^19:1THEN Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

^19:2And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

^19:3And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

^19:4Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.

^19:5Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

^19:6When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.

^19:7The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

^19:8¶ When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;

^19:9And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

^19:10Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?

^19:11Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

^19:12And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Cæsar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Cæsar.

^19:13¶ When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

^19:14And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

^19:15But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cæsar.

^19:16Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.

^19:17And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

^19:18Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

^19:19¶ And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

^19:20This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

^19:21Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

^19:22Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

^19:23¶ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

^19:24They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

^18:28¶ ^*Then led they Iesus from Caiaphas vnto ^‖the hall of Iudgement: And it was earely, ^*and they themselues went not into the Iudgement hall, lest they should be defiled: but that they might eat the Passeouer.

^18:29Pilate then went out vnto them, and said, What accusation bring you against this man?

^18:30They answered, & said vnto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not haue deliuered him vp vnto thee.

^18:31Then saide Pilate vnto them, Take ye him, and iudge him according to your law. The Iewes therefore said vnto him, It is not lawfull for vs to put any man to death:

^18:32*That the saying of Iesus might be fulfilled, which hee spake, signifying what death he should die.

^18:33*Then Pilate entred into the Iudgement hall againe, and called Iesus, and saide vnto him, Art thou the King of the Iewes?

^18:34Iesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thy selfe? or did others tell it thee of me?

^18:35Pilate answered, Am I a Iew? Thine owne nation, and the chiefe Priests haue deliuered thee vnto mee: What hast thou done?

^18:36Iesus answered, My kingdome is not of this world: if my kingdome were of this world, then would my seruants fight, that I should not be deliuered to the Iewes: but now is my kingdome not from hence.

^18:37Pilate therefore saide vnto him, Art thou a King then? Iesus answered, Thou saiest that I am a King. To this end was I borne, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should beare witnesse vnto the trueth: euery one that is of the trueth heareth my voice.

^18:38Pilate saith vnto him, What is trueth? And when hee had said this, he went out againe vnto the Iewes, and saith vnto them, I find in him no fault at all.

^18:39*But yee haue a custome that I should release vnto you one at the Passeouer: will ye therefore that I release vnto you the king of the Iewes?

^18:40*Then cried they all againe, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

^19:1¶ Then ^*Pilate therfore tooke Iesus, and scourged him.

^19:2And the souldiers platted a crowne of thornes, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

^19:3And said, Haile king of the Iewes: and they smote him with their hands.

^19:4Pilate therefore went foorth againe, and saith vnto them, Behold, I bring him foorth to you, that yee may know that I find no fault in him.

^19:5Then came Iesus forth, wearing the crowne of thornes, and the purple robe: and Pilate saith vnto them, Behold the man.

^19:6When the chiefe Priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucifie him, crucifie him. Pilate saith vnto them, Take ye him, and crucifie him: for I find no fault in him.

^19:7The Iewes answered him, We haue a law, and by our law he ought to die, because hee made himselfe the Son of God.

^19:8¶ When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid,

^19:9And went againe into the iudgement hall, & saith vnto Iesus, Whence art thou? But Iesus gaue him no answere.

^19:10Then saith Pilate vnto him, Speakest thou not vnto me? Knowest thou not, that I haue power to crucifie thee, and haue power to release thee?

^19:11Iesus answered, Thou couldest haue no power at all against me, except it were giuen thee from aboue: therfore he that deliuered me vnto thee, hath the greater sinne.

^19:12And from thencefore Pilate sought to release him: but the Iewes cried out, saying, If thou let this man goe, thou art not Cesars friend: whosoeuer maketh himselfe a king, speaketh against Cesar.

^19:13¶ When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Iesus foorth, and sate downe in the iudgement seate, in a place that is called the pauement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

^19:14And it was the preparation of the Passeouer, and about the sixt houre: and he saith vnto the Iewes, Beholde your King.

^19:15But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucifie him. Pilate saith vnto them, Shall I crucifie your King? The chiefe Priests answered, Wee haue no king but Cesar.

^19:16*Then deliuered he him therfore vnto them to be crucified: and they took Iesus, and led him away.

^19:17And he bearing his crosse, went foorth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrewe, Golgotha:

^19:18Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Iesus in the middest.

^19:19¶ And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the crosse. And the writing was, IESVS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE IEWES.

^19:20This title then read many of the Iewes: for the place where Iesus was crucified, was nigh to the citie, and it was written in Hebrewe, and Greeke, and Latine.

^19:21Then said the chiefe Priests of the Iewes to Pilate, Write not, The king of the Iewes: but that he said, I am King of the Iewes.

^19:22Pilate answered, What I haue written, I haue written.

^19:23¶ ^*Then the souldiers, when they had crucified Iesus, tooke his garments, (and made foure parts, to euery souldier a part) and also his coat: Now the coate was without seame, ^‖wouen from the top thorowout.

^19:24They said therefore among themselues, Let not vs rent it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall bee: ^*that the Scripture might bee fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the souldiers did.

³⁴But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

³⁴But one of the souldiers with a speare pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

³⁵And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

³⁵And the Angel answered and said vnto her, The holy Ghost shall come vpon thee, and the power of the Highest shall ouershadow thee. Therefore also that holy thing which shall bee borne of thee, shall bee called the sonne of God.

³¹¶ The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.

³²And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.

³³Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

³¹¶ The same day there came certaine of the Pharises, saying vnto him, Get thee out, and depart hence; for Herode will kill thee.

³²And he said vnto them, Go ye and tell that Foxe, behold, I cast out deuils, and I doe cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.

³³Neuerthelesse, I must walke to day and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a Prophet perish out of Hierusalem.

³¹¶ Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.

³²For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

³³And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.

³¹¶ ^*Then hee tooke vnto him the twelue, and said vnto them, Behold, we goe vp to Hierusalem, and al things that are written by the Prophets concerning the sonne of man, shall be accomplished.

³²For he shall be deliuered vnto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully intreated, and spitted on:

³³And they shall scourge him, and put him to death, and the third day he shall rise againe.

¹³Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.

¹⁴But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

¹⁵So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

¹⁶He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

¹⁷And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

¹⁸Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

¹⁹¶ And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

¹³Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I doe? I will send my beloued sonne: it may be they will reuerence him when they see him.

¹⁴But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselues, saying, This is y ^e heire, come, let vs kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

¹⁵So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard doe vnto them?

¹⁶Hee shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall giue the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

¹⁷And hee beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, ^*The stone which the builders reiected, the same is become the head of the corner?

¹⁸Whosoeuer shall fall vpon that stone, shalbe broken: but on whomsoeuer it shall fall, it will grinde him to powder.

¹⁹¶ And the chiefe Priests and the Scribes the same houre sought to lay hands on him, and they feared the people: for they perceiued that he had spoken this parable against them.

¹NOW the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.

²And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

³¶ Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

⁴And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.

⁵And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

⁶And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

¹¶ ^*Now y ^e feast of vnleuened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passeouer.

²And the chiefe Priests and Scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

³¶ ^*Then entred Satan into Iudas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelue.

⁴And he went his way, and communed with the chiefe Priests and captaines, how he might betray him vnto them.

⁵And they were glad, and couenanted to giue him money.

⁶And he promised, and sought opportunitie to betray him vnto them ^‖in the absence of the multitude.

⁴⁷¶ And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.

⁴⁸But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

⁴⁹When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

⁵⁰¶ And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

⁵¹And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

⁵²Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?

⁴⁷¶ And while he yet spake, ^*behold, a multitude, and hee that was called Iudas, one of the twelue, went before them, and drewe neere vnto Iesus, to kisse him.

⁴⁸But Iesus said vnto him, Iudas, betrayest thou the sonne of man with a kisse?

⁴⁹When they which were about him, saw what would follow, they said vnto him, Lord, shall wee smite with the sword?

⁵⁰¶ And one of them smote the seruant of the high Priest, and cut off his right eare.

⁵¹And Iesus answered, and said, Suffer ye thus farre. And he touched his eare, and healed him.

⁵²Then Iesus said vnto the chiefe Priests, and captaines of the Temple, and the Elders which were come to him, Be ye come out as against a thiefe, with swords and staues?

^22:63¶ And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.

^22:64And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?

^22:65And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.

^22:66¶ And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,

^22:67Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:

^22:68And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.

^22:69Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.

^22:70Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.

^22:71And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.

^23:1AND the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.

^23:2And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

^23:3And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

^23:4Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

^23:5And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.

^22:63¶ And the men that helde Iesus, mocked him, and smote him.

^22:64And when they had blindfolded him, they stroke him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesie, who is it that smote thee?

^22:65And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.

^22:66¶ ^*And assoone as it was day, the Elders of the people, & the chiefe Priests and the Scribes came together, and led him into their Councell, saying,

^22:67Art thou the Christ? Tell vs. And hee said vnto them, If I tell you, you will not beleeue.

^22:68And if I also aske you, you will not answere me, nor let me goe.

^22:69Hereafter shal the sonne of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.

^22:70Then said they all, Art thou then the Sonne of God? And hee said vnto them, ^*Ye say that I am.

^22:71And they said, What need we any further witnesse? For wee our selues haue heard of his owne mouth.

^23:1¶ And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him vnto Pilate.

^23:2And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow peruerting the nation, and forbidding to giue tribute to Cesar, saying, that he himselfe is Christ a king.

^23:3*And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the king of the Iewes? And he answered him, & said, Thou sayest it.

^23:4Then saide Pilate to the chiefe Priests, and to the people, I finde no fault in this man.

^23:5And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth vp the people, teaching thorowout all Iurie, beginning from Galilee to this place.

⁷And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

⁸¶ And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

⁹Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

¹⁰And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

¹¹And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

¹²¶ And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

¹³¶ And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

¹⁴Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

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

¹⁶I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

¹⁷(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

¹⁸And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:

¹⁹(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

²⁰Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.

²¹But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

²²And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.

²³And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

²⁵And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

²⁶And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

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

²⁸But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

²⁹For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

³⁰Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

³¹For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

³²And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

³³And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

³⁴¶ Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

³⁵And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.

³⁶And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

³⁷And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

³⁸And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

⁷And assoone as he knew that hee belonged vnto Herods iurisdiction, hee sent him to Herode, who himselfe also was at Hierusalem at that time.

⁸¶ And when Herode saw Iesus, he was exceeding glad, for hee was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him, and hee hoped to haue seene some miracle done by him.

⁹Then he questioned with him in many words, but he answered him nothing.

¹⁰And the chiefe Priests and Scribes stood, and vehemently accused him.

¹¹And Herod with his men of warre set him at naught, and mocked him, and arayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him againe to Pilate.

¹²¶ And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together; for before, they were at enmitie betweene themselues.

¹³¶ ^*And Pilate, when hee had called together the chiefe Priests, and the rulers, and the people,

¹⁴Said vnto them, Ye haue brought this man vnto me, as one that peruerteth the people, and behold, I hauing examined him before you, haue found no fault in this man, touching those things whereof ye accuse him.

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

¹⁶I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

¹⁷For of necessitie hee must release one vnto them at the Feast.

¹⁸And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release vnto vs Barabbas,

¹⁹Who for a certaine sedition made in the citie, and for murder, was cast in prison.

²⁰Pilate therefore willing to release Iesus, spake againe to them:

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

²²And hee said vnto them the third time, Why, what euill hath he done? I haue found no cause of death in him, I will therefore chastise him, & let him goe.

²³And they were instant with loud voyces, requiring that he might be crucified: and the voyces of them, and of the chiefe Priests preuailed.

²⁴And Pilate ^‖gaue sentence that it should be as they required.

²⁵And he released vnto them, him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired, but he deliuered Iesus to their will.

^26*And as they led him away, they laid hold vpon one Simon a Cyrenian, comming out of the countrey, and on him they laid the crosse, that hee might beare it after Iesus.

²⁷¶ And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed & lamented him.

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

²⁹For beholde, the dayes are comming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that neuer bare, and the paps which neuer gaue sucke.

^30*Then shall they begin to say to the mountaines, Fall on vs, and to the hils, Couer vs.

^31*For if they doe these things in a green tree, what shalbe done in the drie?

^32*And there were also two other malefactors led with him, to bee put to death.

³³And when they were come to the place which is called ^‖Caluarie, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

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

³⁵And the people stood beholding, & the rulers also with them derided him, saying, Hee saued others, let him saue himselfe, if he be Christ, y ^e chosen of God.

³⁶And the souldiers also mocked him, comming to him, and offering him vineger,

³⁷And saying, If thou be the king of the Iewes, saue thy selfe.

³⁸And a superscription also was written ouer him in letters of Greeke, and Latin, & Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE IEWES.

¹⁸The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

^18*The Spirit of the Lord is vpon mee, because hee hath anointed mee, to preach the Gospel to the poore, he hath sent mee to heale the broken hearted, to preach deliuerance to the captiues, and recouering of sight to the blinde, to set at libertie them that are bruised,

³³Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:

³³ Saying, Behold, we go vp to Hierusalem, and the Sonne of man shall be deliuered vnto the chiefe Priests, and vnto the Scribes: and they shall condemne him to death, and shall deliuer him to the Gentiles.

¹AFTER two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.

²But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.

¹¶ After ^*two dayes was the feast of the Passeouer, and of vnleauened bread: and the chiefe Priests, and the Scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.

²But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an vprore of the people.

⁴³¶ And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

⁴⁴And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.

⁴⁵And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.

⁴⁶¶ And they laid their hands on him, and took him.

⁴⁷And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

⁴⁸And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?

⁴⁹I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.

⁵⁰And they all forsook him, and fled.

⁵¹And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:

⁵²And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

⁵³¶ And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

⁵⁴And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.

⁵⁵And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.

⁵⁶For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.

⁵⁷And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,

⁵⁸We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.

⁵⁹But neither so did their witness agree together.

⁶⁰And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

⁶¹But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

⁶²And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

⁶³Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?

⁶⁴Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.

⁶⁵And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.

⁴³¶ ^*And immediately, while hee yet spake, commeth Iudas, one of the twelue, and with him a great multitude with swords, and staues, from the chiefe Priests, and the Scribes, & the Elders.

⁴⁴And he that betrayed him, had giuen them a token, saying, Whomsoeuer I shall kisse, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.

⁴⁵And assoone as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and sayeth, Master, Master, and kissed him.

⁴⁶¶ And they layed their hands on him, and tooke him.

⁴⁷And one of them that stood by, drew a sword, and smote a seruant of the high Priest, and cut off his eare.

⁴⁸And Iesus answered, & said vnto thē, Are ye come out as against a theefe, with swords, & with staues to take me?

⁴⁹I was daily with you in the Temple, teaching, and yee tooke me not; but the Scriptures must be fulfilled.

⁵⁰And they all forsooke him, & fled.

⁵¹And there followed him a certaine yong man, hauing a linnen cloth cast about his naked body, and the yong men laid hold on him.

⁵²And he left the linnen cloth, and fled from them naked.

⁵³¶ ^*And they led Iesus away to the high Priest, and with him were assembled all the chiefe Priests, and the Elders, and the Scribes.

⁵⁴And Peter followed him a farre off, euen into the pallace of the high Priest: and he sate with the seruants, and warmed himselfe at the fire.

^55*And the chiefe Priests, and all the counsell sought for witnesse against Iesus, to put him to death, & found none.

⁵⁶For many bare false witnesse against him, but their witnesse agreed not together.

⁵⁷And there arose certaine, and bare false witnesse against him, saying,

⁵⁸We heard him say, I will destroy this Temple that is made with hands, and within three dayes I will build another made without hands.

⁵⁹But neither so did their witnesse agree together.

⁶⁰And the high Priest stood vp in the mids, and asked Iesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? What is it which these witnesse against thee?

⁶¹But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Againe, the high Priest asked him, and said vnto him, Art thou the Christ, the sonne of the Blessed?

⁶²And Iesus said, I am: ^*and yee shall see the sonne of man sitting on the right hand of power, and comming in the clouds of heauen.

⁶³Then the high Priest rent his clothes, and saith, What neede we any further witnesses?

⁶⁴Yee haue heard the blasphemy: what thinke yee? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.

⁶⁵And some beganne to spit on him, and to couer his face, and to buffet him, and to say vnto him, Prophecie: And the seruants did stricke him with the palmes of their hands.

¹AND straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

²And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.

³And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

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

⁵But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

⁶Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever 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 aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

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

¹⁰For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

¹¹But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

¹²And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

¹³And they cried out again, Crucify him.

¹⁴Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

¹⁵¶ And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

¹⁶And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Prætorium; and they call together the whole band.

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

¹⁸And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

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

²⁰And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.

²¹And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.

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

²³And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.

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

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

²⁶And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁷And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

¹¶ And ^*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.

^4*And 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.

¹⁵¶ And 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.

^21*And 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.

³¹Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

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

¹AT that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

¹¶ At that time ^*Herod the Tetrarch heard of the fame of Iesus,

¹³And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

¹⁴When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:

¹⁵And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

¹⁶¶ Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.

¹³And when they were departed, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeareth to Ioseph in a dreame, saying, Arise and take the young childe, and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and bee thou there vntill I bring thee word: for Herode will seeke the young childe, to destroy him.

¹⁴When he arose, he tooke the yong childe and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:

¹⁵And was there vntill the death of Herode, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying, ^*Out of Egypt haue I called my sonne.

¹⁶¶ Then Herode, when hee saw that hee was mocked of the Wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent foorth, and slewe all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two yeeres olde and vnder, according to the time, which he had diligently enquired of the Wise men.

¹⁸Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,

¹⁹And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.

¹⁸Behold, we goe vp to Hierusalem, and the Sonne of man shall be betraied vnto the chiefe Priests, and vnto the Scribes, and they shall condemne him to death,

^19*And shal deliuer him to the Gentiles to mocke, and to scourge, and to crucifie him: and the third day he shall rise againe.

²⁸¶ But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.

²⁸¶ But what thinke you? A certaine man had two sonnes, and he came to the first, and said, Sonne, goe worke to day in my vineyard.

³⁷O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

^37*O Hierusalem, Hierusalem, thou that killest the Prophets, ^*and stonest them which are sent vnto thee, how often would ^*I haue gathered thy children together, euen as a hen gathereth her chickens vnder her wings, and yee would not?

³Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

⁴And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.

^3*Then assembled together the chiefe Priests, and the Scribes, and the Elders of the people, vnto the palace of the high Priest, who was called Caiaphas,

⁴And consulted that they might take Iesus by subtiltie, and kill him.

⁵⁹Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

⁶⁰But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

⁶¹And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

⁶²And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

⁶³But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

⁶⁴Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

⁶⁵Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

⁶⁶What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

⁶⁷Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,

⁶⁸Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?

⁵⁹Now the chiefe Priests and Elders, and all the councell, sought false witnesse against Iesus to put him to death,

⁶⁰But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

⁶¹And said, This fellow said, ^*I am able to destroy the Temple of God, and to build it in three dayes.

⁶²And the high Priest arose, and said vnto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it, which these witnesse against thee?

⁶³But Iesus held his peace. And the high Priest answered, and said vnto him, I adiure thee by the liuing God, that thou tell vs, whether thou bee the Christ the Sonne of God.

⁶⁴Iesus saith vnto him, Thou hast saide: Neuerthelesse I say vnto you, ^*Hereafter shall yee see the Sonne of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heauen.

⁶⁵Then the high Priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemie: what further need haue wee of witnesses? Behold, now ye haue heard his blasphemie.

⁶⁶What thinke ye? They answered and said, He is guiltie of death.

^67*Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him, and others smote him with ^‖the palmes of their hands,

⁶⁸Saying, Prophecie vnto vs, thou Christ, who is he that smote thee?

¹¹And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

¹²And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

¹³Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

¹⁴And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

¹⁵Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.

¹⁶And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

¹⁷Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?

¹⁸For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

¹⁹¶ When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

²⁰But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

²¹The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

²²Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

²³And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

²⁴¶ When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.

²⁵Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

²⁶¶ Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

²⁷Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

²⁸And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

²⁹¶ And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

³⁰And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

³¹And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

³²And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

³³And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,

³⁴¶ They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

³⁵And 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 upon my vesture did they cast lots.

³⁶And sitting down they watched him there;

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.

¹²And when hee was accused of the chiefe Priests and Elders, he answered nothing.

¹³Then saith Pilate vnto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witnesse against thee?

¹⁴And he answered him to neuer a word: insomuch that the Gouernour marueiled greatly.

^15*Now at that feast the Gouernor was woont to release vnto the people a prisoner, whom they would.

¹⁶And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

¹⁷Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said vnto them, Whom will ye that I release vnto you? Barabbas, or Iesus, which is called Christ?

¹⁸For hee knew that for enuie they had deliuered him.

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*But the chiefe Priestes and Elders perswaded the multitude that they should aske Barabbas, & destroy Iesus.

²¹The Gouernour answered, and said vnto them, Whether of the twaine will ye that I release vnto you? They said, Barabbas.

²²Pilate said vnto them, What shall I doe then with Iesus, which is called Christ? They all sayde vnto him, Let him be crucified.

²³And the Gouernour said, Why, what euil hath he done? But they cried out y ^e more, saying, Let him be crucified.

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.

²⁵Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on vs, and on our children.

²⁶¶ Then released hee Barabbas vnto them, and when he had scourged Iesus, he deliuered him to be crucified.

^27*‖Then the souldiers of the Gouernour tooke Iesus into the common hall, and gathered vnto him the whole band of souldiers.

²⁸And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

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.

³⁰And they spit vpon him, and tooke the reed, and smote him on the head.

³¹And 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*And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to beare his Crosse.

^33*And when they were come vnto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,

³⁴¶ They gaue him vineger to drinke, mingled with gall: and when hee had tasted thereof, hee would not drinke.

³⁵And 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.

³⁶And sitting downe, they watched him there:

⁴⁰And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

⁴¹Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

⁴²He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

⁴³He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

⁴⁰And 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.

⁴¹Likewise also the chiefe Priests mocking him, with the Scribes and Elders, said,

⁴²He saued others, himselfe he cannot saue: If he be the King of Israel, let him now come downe from the Crosse, and we will beleeue him.

^43*He trusted in God, let him deliuer him now if hee will haue him: for he said, I am the Sonne of God.

²The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,

²The Kings of the earth set themselues, and the rulers take counsell together, against the LORD, and against his Anoynted, saying,

⁶Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

⁶Yet haue I set ^†my King ^†vpon my holy hill of Sion.

⁷Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

⁷Thou louest righteousnesse, and hatest wickednesse: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oyle of gladnesse aboue thy fellowes.

⁷And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.

⁸Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.

^7‖‖And I will feede the flocke of slaughter, euen you, O poore of the flock: and I tooke vnto me two staues; the one I called Beautie, and the other I called Bandes, and I fed the flocke.

^8†Three shepheards also I cut off in one moneth, and my soule loathed them, and their soule also abhorred mee.

¹WHEN Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.

²And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.

³Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

⁴Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?

⁵They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

⁶As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.

⁷Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

⁸Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

⁹That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.

¹⁰Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.

¹¹Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

¹²Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,

¹³And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.

¹⁴Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

¹¶ When Iesus had spoken these wordes, ^*hee went foorth with his disciples ouer the Brooke Cedron, where was a garden, into the which hee entred and his disciples.

²And Iudas also which betrayed him, knew the place: for Iesus oft times resorted thither with his disciples.

^3*Iudas then hauing receiued a band of men, and officers from the chiefe Priests and Pharisees, commeth thither with lanternes and torches, and weapons.

⁴Iesus therefore knowing all things that should come vpon him, went foorth, and sayde vnto them, Whom seeke ye?

⁵They answered him, Iesus of Nazareth. Iesus saith vnto them, I am hee. And Iudas also which betraied him, stood with them.

⁶Assoone then as he had said vnto them, I am he, they went backeward, and fell to the ground.

⁷Then asked hee them againe, Whom seeke ye? And they said, Iesus of Nazareth.

⁸Iesus answered, I haue tolde you that I am he: If therefore ye seeke me, let these goe their way:

⁹That the saying might be fulfilled which he spake, ^*Of them which thou gauest me, haue I lost none.

¹⁰Then Simon Peter hauing a sword, drewe it, and smote the high Priests seruant, & cut off his right eare: The seruants name was Malchus.

¹¹Then said Iesus vnto Peter, Put vp thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my father hath giuen me, shall I not drinke it?

¹²Then the band and the captaine, and officers of the Iewes, tooke Iesus, and bound him,

¹³And led him away to Annas first, (for he was father in law to Caiaphas) which was the high Priest that same yeere.^†

^14*Now Caiaphas was he which gaue counsell to the Iewes, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
