John 19:1-32

¹Then Pylate toke Iesus and scourged him.

²And the soudiers wounde a croune of thornes and put it on his heed. And they dyd on him a purple garment

³and sayd: hayll kynge of the Iewes: and they smote him on the face.

⁴Pylate went forthe agayne and sayde vnto them: beholde I bringe him forth to you that ye maye knowe that I fynde no faute in him.

⁵Then came Iesus forthe wearynge a croune of thorne and a robe of purple. And Pylate sayd vnto them: beholde the man.

⁶When the hye Prestes and ministres sawe him they cryed sayinge: crucify him crucify him. Pylate sayde vnto them. Take ye him and crucify him: for I fynde no cause in him.

⁷The Iewes answered him. We have a lawe and by oure lawe he ought to dye: because he made him selfe the sonne of God.

⁸When Pylate hearde that sayinge he was the moare afrayde

⁹and went agayne into the iudgment hall and sayde vnto Iesus: whence arte thou? But Iesus gave him none answere.

¹⁰Then sayde Pylate vnto him. Speakest thou not vnto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify the and have power to lowse the?

¹¹Iesus answered: Thou couldest have no power at all agaynst me except it were geven the from above. Therfore he that delyvered me vnto the is moare in synne.

¹²And from thence forthe sought Pylate meanes to lowse him: but the Iewes cryed sayinge: yf thou let him goo thou arte not Cesars frende. For whosoever maketh hi selfe a kynge is agaynst Cesar

¹³When Pylate hearde that sayinge he brought Iesus forthe and sate doune to geve sentence in a place called the pavement: but in the Hebrue tonge Gabbatha.

¹⁴It was the Saboth even which falleth in the ester fest and aboute the sixte houre. And he sayde vnto the Iewes: beholde youre kynge.

¹⁵They cryed awaye with him awaye with him crucify him. Pylate sayde vnto them. Shall I crucify youre kynge? The hye Prestes answered: we have no kynge but Cesar.

¹⁶Then delyvered he him vnto them to be crucified. And they toke Iesus and led him awaye.

¹⁷And he bare his crosse and went forthe into a place called the place of deed mens sculles which is named in Hebrue Golgatha.

¹⁸Where they crucified him and two other with him on ether syde one and Iesus in the myddes.

¹⁹And Pylate wrote his tytle and put it on the crosse. The writynge was Iesus of Nazareth kynge of the Iewes. This tytle reed many of the Iewes.

²⁰For the place where Iesus was crucified was nye to the cite. And it was written in Hebrue Greke and Latyn.

²¹Then sayde the hye prestes of the Iewes to Pylate: wryte not kynge of the Iewes: but that he sayde I am kynge of the Iewes.

²²Pylate answered: what I have written that have I written.

²³Then the soudiers when they had crucified Iesus toke his garmentes and made foure partes to every soudier a parte and also his coote. The coote was with out seme wrought vpon thorowe out.

²⁴And they sayde one to another. Let vs not devyde it: but cast loostes who shall have it That the scripture myght be fulfilled which sayth. They parted my rayment amonge them and on my coote dyd cast lottes. And the soudiers dyd soche thinges in dede.

²⁵Ther stode by the crosse of Iesus his mother and his mothers sister Mary the wyfe of Cleophas and Mary Magdalene.

²⁶When Iesus sawe his mother and the disciple stondynge whom he loved he sayde vnto his mother: woman beholde thy sonne.

²⁷Then sayde he to the disciple: beholde thy mother. And from that houre the disciple toke her for his awne.

²⁸After that when Iesus perceaved that all thinges were performed: that the scripture myght be fulfilled he sayde: I thyrst.

²⁹Ther stode a vessell full of veneger by. And they filled a sponge with veneger and wounde it about with ysope and put it to his mouth.

³⁰Assone as Iesus had receaved of the veneger he sayd: It is fynesshed and bowed his heed and gaue vp the goost.

³¹The Iewes then because it was the saboth even that the bodyes shuld not remayne apon the crosse on the saboth daye (for that saboth daye was an hye daye) besought Pylate that their legges myght be broken and that they myght be taken doune.

³²Then came the soudiers and brake the legges of the fyrst and of the other which was crucified with Iesus.
