Luke 23:17-53

¹⁷For of necessite he must have let one lowse vnto them at that feast.

¹⁸And all the people cryed at once sayinge: awaye with him and delyvre to vs Barrabas:

¹⁹which for insurreccion made in the cite and morther was cast into preson.

²⁰Pylate spake agayne to them willynge to let Iesus lowse.

²¹And they cryed sayinge: Crucify him Crucify him

²²He sayde vnto them the thyrde tyme. What evyll hath he done? I fynde no cause of deeth in him. I will therfore chasten him and let him lowse.

²³And they cryed with loude voyce and required that he myght be crucifyed. And the voyce of them and of the hye Prestes prevayled.

²⁴And Pylate gave sentence that it shuld be as they required

²⁵and let lowse vnto them him that for insurreccion and morther was cast into preson whom they desyred: and delyvered Iesus to do with him what they wolde.

²⁶And as they ledde him awaye they caught one Symon of Syrene commynge out of the felde: and on him layde they the crosse to beare it after Iesus.

²⁷And ther folowed him a greate company of people and of wemen which weme bewayled and lamented him.

²⁸But Iesus turned backe vnto them and sayde: Doughters of Ierusalem, wepe not for me: but wepe for youre selves and for youre chyldren.

²⁹For beholde, the dayes will come, when men shall saye: happy are the baren and the wombes that never bare and the pappes which never gave sucke.

³⁰Then shall they beginne to saye to the mountaynes fall on vs: and to the hilles cover vs.

³¹For yf they do this to a grene tree what shalbe done to the drye?

³²And ther were two evyll doers ledde with him to be slayne.

³³And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary there they crucified him and the evyll doers one on ryght honde and the other on the lefte.

³⁴Then sayde Iesus: father forgeve them for they woot not what they do. And they parted his rayment and cast loottes.

³⁵And the people stode and behelde. And the rulers mocked him with thee saying: he holpe other men let him helpe him selfe yf he be Christ the chosen of god.

³⁶The soudiers also mocked him and came and gave him veneger

³⁷and sayde: yf thou be that kynge of the Iewes save thy silfe.

³⁸And his superscripcion was written over him in greke in latine and Ebreu: This is the kynge of the Iewes.

³⁹And one of the evyll doers which hanged rayled on him sayinge: If thou be Christ save thy selfe and vs.

⁴⁰The other answered and rebuked him sayinge. Net herfearest thou god because thou arte in the same damnacion?

⁴¹We are ryghteously punesshed for we receave accordynge to oure dedes: But this man hath done nothinge amysse.

⁴²And he sayde vnto Iesus: Lorde remember me when thou comest into thy kyngdome.

⁴³And Iesus sayde vnto him: Verely I saye vnto the to daye shalt thou be with me in Paradyse.

⁴⁴And it was about the sixt houre. And ther came a darcknes over all the londe vntyll the nynth houre

⁴⁵and the sonne was darckened. And the vayle of the temple dyd rent even thorow the myddes.

⁴⁶And Iesus cryed with a greate voyce and sayd: Father into thy hondes I comende my sprete. And when he thus had sayd he gave vp the goost.

⁴⁷When the Centurion sawe what had happened he glorified God sayinge: Of a surtie this man was perfecte.

⁴⁸And all the people that came to geder to that sight beholdynge the thinges which were done: smoote their bestes and returned home.

⁴⁹And all his acquayntaunce and the wemen that folowed him from Galile stode a farre of beholdynge these thinges.

⁵⁰And beholde ther was a man named Ioseph a councelloure and was a good man and a iuste

⁵¹and dyd not consent to the counsell and dede of them which was of Aramathia a cite of the Iewes: which same also wayted for the kyngdome of God:

⁵²he went vnto Pilate and begged the boddy of Iesus

⁵³and toke it doune and wrapped it in a lynnen clooth and layed it in an hewen toumbe wherin was never man before layed.
