¹⁶And therfor Y schal amende hym, and delyuere hym.

¹⁷But he moste nede delyuer to hem oon bi the feest dai.

¹⁸And al the puple criede togidir, and seide, Do `awei hym, and delyuer to vs Barabas;

¹⁹which was sent `in to prisoun for disturblyng maad in the cite, and for mansleynge.

²⁰And eftsoone Pilat spak to hem, and wolde delyuer Jhesu.

²¹And thei vndurcrieden, and seiden, Crucifie, crucifie hym.

²²And the thridde tyme he seide to hem, For what yuel hath this don? Y fynde no cause of deeth in hym; therfor Y schal chastise hym, and Y schal delyuer.

²³And thei contynueden with greet voicis axynge, that he schulde be crucified; and the voicis of hem woxen stronge.

²⁴And Pilat demyde her axyng to be don.

²⁵And he delyueride to hem hym, that for mansleyng and sedicioun was sent in to prisoun, whom thei axiden; but he bitook Jhesu to her wille.

²⁶And whanne thei ledden hym, thei token a man, Symon of Syrenen, comynge fro the toun, and thei leiden on hym the cross to bere aftir Jhesu.

²⁷And there suede hym myche puple, and wymmen that weiliden, and bymorneden hym.

²⁸And Jhesus turnede to hem, and seide, Douytris of Jerusalem, nyle ye wepe on me, but wepe ye on youre silf and on youre sones.

²⁹For lo! daies schulen come, in whiche it schal be seid, Blessid be bareyn wymmen, and wombis that han not borun children, and the tetis that han not youun souke.

³⁰Thanne thei schulen bigynne to seie to mounteyns, Falle ye doun on vs, and to smale hillis, Keuere ye vs.

³¹For if in a greene tre thei don these thingis, what schal be don in a drie?

³²Also othere twei wickid men weren led with hym, to be slayn.

³³And `aftir that thei camen in to a place, that is clepid of Caluerie, there thei crucifieden hym, and the theues, oon on the riyt half, and `the tother on the left half.

³⁴But Jhesus seide, Fadir, foryyue hem, for thei witen not what thei doon.

³⁵And thei departiden his clothis, and kesten lottis. And the puple stood abidynge; and the princis scorneden hym with hem, and seiden, Othere men he maad saaf; make he hym silf saaf, if this be Crist, the chosun of God.

³⁶And the knyytis neiyeden, and scorneden hym, and profreden vynegre to hym,

³⁷and seiden, If thou art king of Jewis, make thee saaf.
