Luke 23:3-42

³And Pylate apposed him sayinge: arte thou the kynge of the iewes? He answered him and sayde: thou sayest it.

⁴Then sayde Pylate to the hye prestes and to the people: I fynde noo faute in this man.

⁵And they were the moore fearce sayinge. He moveth the people teachynge thorowout all Iewry and beganne at Galile even to this place.

⁶When Pilate hearde mencion of Galile he axed whether the man were of Galile.

⁷And assone as he knewe that he was of Herodes iurisdiccion he sent him to Herode which was also at Ierusalem in those dayes.

⁸And when Herode sawe Iesus he was excedinglie gladde. For he was desyrous to se him of a longe season because he had hearde many thinges of him and trusted to have sene some myracle done by him.

⁹Then questeoned he with him of many thinges. But he answered him not one worde.

¹⁰The hye prestes and scribes stode forthe and accused him straytly.

¹¹And Herod with his men of warre despysed him and mocked him and arayed him in whyte and sent him agayne to Pylate.

¹²And the same daye Pylate and Herod were made frendes togeder. For before they were at variaunce.

¹³And Pylate called to geder the hye prestes and the rulers and the people

¹⁴and sayde vnto them: Ye have brought this man vnto me as one that perverted the people. And beholde I have examined him before you and have founde no faute in this man of those thinges where of ye accuse him.

¹⁵No nor yet Herode. For I sent you to him: and lo no thinge worthy of deeth is done to him.

¹⁶I will therfore chasten him and let him lowsse.

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.
