Luke 23:27-41

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.

³⁸And the superscripcioun was writun ouer hym with Greke lettris, and of Latyn, and of Ebreu, This is the kyng of Jewis.

³⁹And oon of these theues that hangiden, blasfemyde hym, and seide, If thou art Crist, make thi silf saaf and vs.

⁴⁰But `the tothir answerynge, blamyde hym, and seide, Nether thou dredist God, that art in the same dampnacioun?

⁴¹And treuli we iustli, for we han resseiued worthi thingis to werkis; but this dide no thing of yuel.
