³¹Therfor for it was the pask eue, that the bodies schulden not abide on the cros in the sabat, for that was a greet sabat dai, the Jewis preiden Pilat, that the hipis of hem schulden be brokun, and thei takun awei.

³²Therfor knyytis camen, and thei braken the thies of the firste, and of the tothere, that was crucified with hym.

³³But whanne thei weren comun to Jhesu, as thei sayn him deed thanne, thei braken not hise thies;

³⁴but oon of the knyytis openyde his side with a spere, and anoon blood and watir wenten out.

³⁵And he that saiy, bare witnessyng, and his witnessing is trewe; and he woot that he seith trewe thingis, that ye bileue.

³⁶And these thingis weren don, that the scripture schulde be fulfillid, Ye schulen not breke a boon of hym.

³⁷And eftsoone another scripture seith, Thei schulen se in whom thei piyten thorow.

³⁸But after these thingis Joseph of Armathi preyede Pilat, that he schulde take awei the bodi of Jhesu, for that he was a disciple of Jhesu, but priui for drede of the Jewis. And Pilat suffride. And so he cam, and took awei the bodi of Jhesu.

³⁹And Nychodeme cam also, that hadde come to hym first bi nyyt, and brouyte a meddlynge of myrre and aloes, as it were an hundrid pound.

⁴⁰And thei token the bodi of Jhesu, and boundun it in lynun clothis with swete smellynge oynementis, as it is custom to Jewis for to birie.

⁴¹And in the place where he was crucified, was a yerd, and in the yerd a newe graue, in which yit no man was leid.
