¹ When the mornynge was come, all the chefe prestes and the elders of the people helde a counsayle agaynst Iesus, to put him to deeth, ² and brought him bounde and delyuered him vnto Poncius Pylate the debite. ³ Then Iudas (which had betrayed him) seyng that he was condempned, repented him selfe, and brought agayne the thirtye plates of syluer, to the chefe Prestes and elders, ⁴ sayinge: I haue synned, betrayinge the innocent bloud. And they sayd: what is that to vs? Se thou to that. ⁵ And he cast downe the syluer plates in the temple, and departed and went and hanged hym selfe. ⁶ And the chefe prestes toke the syluer plates and sayd: it is not lawfull for to put them into the treasure, because it is the pryce of bloud. ⁷ And they toke counsell: and bought wt them a potters felde to bury straungers in. ⁸ Wherfore that felde is called the felde of bloud, vntyll this daye. ⁹ Then was fulfylled, that which was spoken by Ieremy the Prophet, sayinge: and they toke thirtye syluer plates, the pryse of him that was valued, whom they bought of the chyldren of Israel, ¹⁰ and gaue them for the potters felde, as the Lorde apoynted me. ¹¹ Iesus stode before the debite, and the debite asked him, sayinge: art thou the kyng of the Iewes? Iesus sayeth vnto him: Thou sayest. ¹² And when he was accused of the chefe prestes & elders, he answered nothyng. ¹³ Then sayeth Pilate vnto him: hearest thou not, how many witnesses they laye agaynst the? ¹⁴ and he answered him to neuer a worde: in so moch that the debyte marueyled greatlye. ¹⁵ At that feast, the debite was wonte to delyuer vnto the people a presoner, whom they wold desier. ¹⁶ He had then a notable presoner, called Barrabas. ¹⁷ Therfore, when they were gathered together, Pilate sayd: whether wil ye that I geue loosse vnto you? Barrabas, or Iesus, whych is called Chryst? ¹⁸ For he knewe that for enuie they had delyuered him. ¹⁹ When he was set downe to geue iudgement, his wyfe sent vnto him sayinge: haue thou nothinge to do with that iust man. For I haue suffered many thinges this daye in my slepe because of him. ²⁰ But the chefe prestes and the elders persuaded the people, that they shulde aske Barrabas, and destroye Iesus. ²¹ The debite answered, and sayde vnto them: whether of the twayne, will ye, that I let loosse vnto you? They sayd: Barrabas. ²² Pilate sayde vnto them: what shall I do then with Iesus whych is called Christ? They all sayd vnto him: let him be crucifyed. ²³ The debite sayde: what euyll hath he done? But they cryed the more, sayinge: let him be crucifyed. ²⁴ When Pilate sawe that he coulde preuayle nothinge, but that more busynes was made, he toke water, and wasshed hys handes before the people, sayinge: I am innocent of the bloud of this iust person, ye shall se. ²⁵ Then answered all the people, and sayd his bloud be on vs, and on oure children. ²⁶ Then let he Barrabas loose vnto them, and scourged Iesus, and delyuered him to be crucifyed. ²⁷ Then the soudeours of the debite toke Iesus in the comen hall, and gathered vnto him al the company. ²⁸ And they stripped him, and put on him a purpill robe, ²⁹ and platted a croune of thornes and put vpon his heed, and a rede in his ryght hande: and bowed the knee before him: & mocked him, saying: hayle, kyng of the Iewes: ³⁰ and whan they had spytt vpon him, they toke the rede, and smote him on the heed. ³¹ And after that they had mocked him, they toke the roabe of him agayne, and put hys awne rayment on him, & led him awaye to crucifye him. ³² And as they came out, they founde a man of Cyren (named Simon) him they compelled to beare his crosse. ³³ And they came vnto the place which is called Golgotha (that is to saye, a place of deed mens sculles) ³⁴ and gaue hym veneger to drincke myngled with gall. And when he had tasted therof, he wolde not drincke. ³⁵ When they had crucifyed him, they parted his garmentes, & dyd cast lottes: that it myght be fulfylled which was spoken by the Prophet. They departed my garmentes amonge them: and vpon my vesture dyd they cast lottes. ³⁶ And they sate and watched him there, ³⁷ and set vp ouer his heed the cause of hys deeth, wrytten: This is Iesus the kynge of the Iewes. ³⁸ Then were there two theues crucifyed with him, one on the ryght hande, and another on the lyfte. ³⁹ They that passed by, reuyled him, waggynge their heades, ⁴⁰ and sayinge: thou that destroydest the temple of God and dyddest bylde it in thre dayes, saue thy selfe If thou be the sonne of God, come downe from the crosse. ⁴¹ Like wyse also the hye prestes, mocking him with the Scribes and elders sayde: ⁴² He saued other, him selfe can he not saue. If he be the kynge of Israel: let him now come doune from the crosse, & we will beleue him. ⁴³ He trusted in God, let him delyuer him now, yf he wyll haue him: for he sayde, I am the sonne of God. ⁴⁴ The theues also, which were crucifyed with him, cast the same in his tethe. ⁴⁵ From the syxte houre was there dercknes ouer all the lande vnto the nynth houre. ⁴⁶ And about the nynth houre, Iesus cryed, wyth a loude voyce, sayinge: Eli, Eli lamasabaththany.

¹⁶ Then sayd Samuel: wherfore doest thou aske of me, whyle the Lorde is gone from the, & is become thyne enemye? ¹⁷ Truly the Lord hath done for hym selfe, euen as he spake by my hand. For the Lorde hath rent the kingdome out of thyne hande, & geuen it thy neyboure Dauid. ¹⁸ Because thou obeyedst not the voyce of the Lord, nor executedst hys fearce wrath vpon the Amaleckites, therfore hath the Lord done this vnto the this daye. ¹⁹ And moreouer, the Lorde wyll delyuer Israel wt the, into the handes of the Philistines.

¹⁵ But this shall ye knowe: yf ye put me to death, ye shall make youre selues, thys citye and all the inhabytours therof, gyltye of innocent bloude. For thys is of a trueth that the Lorde hath sent me vnto you, to speake all these wordes in youre eares.

¹⁴ Wherfore they cryed vnto the Lord, & sayde: O Lord let vs not perysh for thys mans death, nether laye thou innocent bloude vnto our charge: for thou, O Lord, hast done, euen as thy pleasure was.

¹⁹ When he was set downe to geue iudgement, his wyfe sent vnto him sayinge: haue thou nothinge to do with that iust man. For I haue suffered many thinges this daye in my slepe because of him.

⁴⁷ When the Centuryon sawe what had happened, he gloryfyed God sayinge. Uerely, this was a righteous man.

⁷ The Iewes answered him: We haue a lawe, and by oure lawe he ought to dye: because he made him selfe the sonne of God.

²⁶ For soch an hye Prest it became vs to haue, which is holy, harmlesse, vndefiled, separate from synners, made hyer then heauen.

¹⁹ but wt the precious bloude of Chryst, as of a lambe vndefyled, and wythout spot,

⁴ Then sayd Saul vnto his harnesberer draw out thy swerde, & thrust me thorowe therwyth, lest these vncircumcised come, & thrust me thorowe and make a mockynge stocke of me.

²³ The bloude thrusty and disceatful men shall not lyue out halfe theyr dayes. Neuerthelesse, my trust shalbe in the.

¹⁸ Thou shalt nether brynge the hyer of an whore nor the pryce of a dogge into the house of the Lorde thy God, in any maner of vowe, for euen both of them are abhominacyon vnto the Lorde thy God.

⁸ For I the Lorde, which loue ryght and hate robbery (though it were offred me) shall make theyr workes full of faythfulnes & make an euerlastinge couenaunt with them.

²⁴ ye blynde gydes, which strayne out agnat, & swalowe a Camell.

⁹ And Iosua set vp twelue stones also in the myddes of Iordan, in the place where the fete of the preastes which bare the arcke of the testament, stode. And there haue they continued vnto this daye.

²⁶ And the man went into the lande of the Hethites, and bylt a cytie, and called the name therof Lus which is the name therof vnto this daye.

⁹ And the barres of the Arcke, were so longe, that the heades of the barres were sene without the Arcke within the quere, but not without. And there the Arcke remayned vnto this daye.

¹⁵ So they toke the money, & dyd as they were taught. And this sayinge is noysed amonge the Iewes vnto this daye.

¹⁹ And it is knowen vnto all the inhabiters of Ierusalem: in so moch that the same felde is called in their mother tonge, Acheldama, that is to saye, the bloude felde.

³² But yf it be a seruaunt or a mayde that the oxe hath gored, then he shall geue vnto theyr master .xxx. sycles, and the oxe shall be stoned.

² speake vnto the children of Israel, and saye vnto them: If any man will geue a synguler vowe vnto the Lord accordynge to the value of the soules, ³ the value of the male from twentye yeare olde vnto sixtye shalbe fyftie sycles of siluer, after the weyght of the sanctuary. ⁴ And yf it be a female, the value shalbe thyrtye sicles. ⁵ And from fyue yeares to twentye, the male shalbe set at twentye sicles, and the female at ten sycles. ⁶ And from a moneth vnto fyue yeare, the male shalbe set at fyue sycles of syluer, and the female at thre. ⁷ And he that is syxtie yeare olde, and aboue, shalbe valued at fiftene sicles, and the woman at ten.

¹² And I sayde vnto them: yf ye thinck it good, bring hyther my pryce: yf no, then leaue. So they wayed downe .xxx. syluer pens, the value that I was prysed at. ¹³ And the Lorde said vnto me: cast it vnto the potter (a goodly pryce for me to be valued at of them) and I toke the .xxx. syluer pens, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lorde.

²² Al this was done, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying:

¹⁵ and sayd vnto them: what will ye geue me, and I wyll delyuer him vnto you? And they apoynted vnto hym thyrty peces of syluer.

¹³ And the Lorde said vnto me: cast it vnto the potter (a goodly pryce for me to be valued at of them) and I toke the .xxx. syluer pens, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lorde.

² sayinge: Where is he that is borne king of Iewes? For we haue sene hys starre in the east, and are come to worshyppe hym.

¹⁸ And ye shall be brought to the heed rulers, and kynges, for my sake, in wytnes to them and to the gentyls.

²⁵ It is ynough for the disciple, that he be as his master is, and that the seruaunt be as his Lorde is. If they haue called the Lord of the house, Beelzebub: how moche more shal they call them of his householde so?

²⁵ Then Iudas which betrayed him, answered, and sayd: master, is it I? He sayde vnto him: thou hast sayd.

⁶⁴ Iesus sayeth vnto hym, thou hast sayd. Neuerthelesse I saye vnto you here after shall ye se the sonne of man syttinge on the right hande of power, and commyng in the cloudes of the skye.

⁶² And Iesus sayd: I am. And ye shall se the sonne of man sytting on the ryght hand of power, & commyng in the cloudes of heauen.

² And Pilate asked him: art thou the kynge of the Iewes? And he answered, & sayd vnto hym: thou sayest it. ³ And the hye prestes accused him of many thinges. ⁴ So Pilate asked him agayne, sayinge: Answerest thou nothing? Beholde, how many thinges they lay vnto thy charge. ⁵ Iesus yet answered nothing, so that Pilate merueyled.

² And they beganne to accuse him, sayinge: we founde thys felowe peruertinge the people, and forbyddynge to paye tribute to Cesar: sayinge, that he is Chryst a kynge. ³ And Pylate apposed him, sayinge: art thou the kynge of the Iewes? He answered hym, and sayde: thou sayest it.

²⁹ Pylate then went out vnto them and sayde: what accusacyon bryng ye agaynste thys man? ³⁰ They answered and sayde vnto him: If he were not an euyll doar we wolde not haue delyuered him vnto the. ³¹ Then sayde Pylate vnto them take ye hym, & iudge him after youre awne lawe. The Iewes therfore sayd vnto him: It is not lawfull for vs to put eny man to deeth. ³² That the wordes of Iesus myght be fulfylled which he spake, signifyeng, what deeth he shuld dye. ³³ Then Pylate entred into the iudgement hall agayne, and called Iesus, and sayde vnto hym: art thou the kynge of the Iewes? ³⁴ Iesus answered: sayst thou that of thy selfe, or dyd other tell it the of me? ³⁵ Pylate answered: Am I a Iewe? Thyne awne nacion and hye prestes haue delyuered the vnto me. What hast thou done? ³⁶ Iesus answered: my kyngdome is not of this worlde. Yf my kyngdome were of this worlde, then wolde my mynysters suerly fyght, that I shulde not be delyuered to the Iewes, but now is my kyngdome not from hence. ³⁷ Pylate therfore sayde vnto him. Art thou a kyng then? Iesus answered: thou sayst that I am a kyng. For this cause was I borne, & for this cause came I into the worlde, that I shulde beare witnes vnto the trueth. And all that are of the trueth, heare my voyce. ³⁸ Pylate sayde vnto him, what thynge is trueth? And when he had sayde this, he went out agayne vnto the Iewes, and sayeth vnto them. I fynde in him no cause at all.

¹³ As for me, I was lyke a deafe man & herde not: & as one that is domme, which doth not open his mouth. ¹⁴ I became euen as a man that heareth not: and in whose mouth are no reprofes.

⁷ He suffred violence and was euell intreated, & dyd not yet open his mouth. He shalbe led as a shepe to be slayne, yet shall he be as styll as a lambe before the shearer, and not open hys mouth.

⁶³ But Iesus helde hys peace. And the chefe preste answered and sayde vnto him: I charge the by the lyuinge God, that thou tell vs, whether thou be Christ the sonne of God.

¹⁴ and he answered him to neuer a worde: in so moch that the debyte marueyled greatlye.

⁹ and went agayne into the iudgement hall, and sayeth vnto Iesus: whence arte thou? But Iesus gaue him none answere. ¹⁰ Then sayde Pylate vnto him: Speakest thou not vnto me? Knowest thou not, that I haue power to crucify the, and haue power to loose the? ¹¹ Iesus answered: Thou couldest haue no power at all agaynst me, except it were geuen the from aboue. Therfore he that delyuered me vnto the, hath the more synne.

³² The tenoure of the scripture which he read, was this: He was led as a shepe to be slayne: and lyke a lambe domme before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth.

²³ whych when he was reuyled, reuyled not agayne: when he suffered, he threatened not, but committed the vengeaunce to hym that iudgeth ryghteously

⁶² And the chefe preste arose, & sayd vnto him: answerest thou nothyng? Why do these beare wytnes against the?

³⁵ Pylate answered: Am I a Iewe? Thyne awne nacion and hye prestes haue delyuered the vnto me. What hast thou done?

²⁴ the captayne commaunded hym to be brought into the castle, and bad that he shulde be scourged, and to be examined, that he might knowe, wherfore they cryed so on hym.

⁷ Oh let my mouth be fylled with thy prayse and honour all the daye longe.

¹⁸ But lo, as for me, and the children which the lord hath geuen me: we are a token and a wondre in Israel, for the Lord of Hostes sake, which dwelleth vpon the hyll of Sion.

⁸ Heare (O Iesua) thou hye preste, thou and thy frends that dwell before the, for they are wonderous people. Behold, I wyl bring forth the braunches of my seruaunt:

⁹ For me thynketh, that God hath set forth vs (which are the last Apostles) as it were men appoynted to deeth. For we are a gasynge stocke vnto the worlde, and to the Angels, and to men.

⁵ But they sayd: not on the holy daye, lest there be an vproure amonge the people.

⁶ At that feast Pilate dyd delyuer vnto them a presoner: whomsoeuer they wolde desyre. ⁷ And ther was one that was named Barrabas, whych laye bounde with them that made insurreccyon: he had commytted murther. ⁸ And the people called vnto him, and began to desyre him, that he wolde do, accordynge as he had euer done vnto them. ⁹ Pylate answered them sayenge: Will ye that I let lowse vnto you the kyng of the Iewes? ¹⁰ For he knewe, that the hye Prestes had delyuered him of enuy. ¹¹ But the hye prestes moued the people, that he shulde rather delyuer Barrabas vnto them. ¹² Pylate answered agayne, and sayde vnto them: What wyll ye then that I do vnto him, whom ye call the kyng of the Iewes? ¹³ And they cryed agayne: crucifye him: ¹⁴ Pylate sayd vnto them, What euyll hath he done: And they cryed the moare feruentlye: Crucifye hym: ¹⁵ And so Pylate wyllinge to content the people, let lose Barrabas vnto them & delyuered vp Iesus (when he had scourged hym) for to be crucifyed.

¹⁶ I wyll therfore chasten hym, and let hym losse.

³⁸ Pylate sayde vnto him, what thynge is trueth? And when he had sayde this, he went out agayne vnto the Iewes, and sayeth vnto them. I fynde in him no cause at all. ³⁹ Ye haue a custome, that I shulde deliuer you one loose at Easter. Wyll ye that I lose vnto you the kynge of the Iewes? ⁴⁰ Then cryed they all agayne sayinge. Not hym, but Barrabas: the same Barrabas was a murtherer.

¹⁶ Then delyuered he hym vnto them, to be crucified. And they toke Iesus, and led hym away.

⁹ Festus wyllynge to do the Iewes a pleasure, answered Paul, and sayde: wylt thou go vp to Ierusalem, and there be iudged of these thynges before me?

⁷ And ther was one that was named Barrabas, whych laye bounde with them that made insurreccyon: he had commytted murther.

¹⁸ And all the people cryed at once, sayinge: awaye wyth hym, and delyuer to vs Barrabas: ¹⁹ (whych for a certayne insurreccyon made in the cytie and for morther, was cast in preson)

²⁵ and he let losse vnto them, hym that (for insurreccyon & morther) was cast into preson, whom they had desyred, and he delyuered vnto them Iesus, to do wt hym what they wolde.

⁴⁰ Then cryed they all agayne sayinge. Not hym, but Barrabas: the same Barrabas was a murtherer.

¹⁴ But ye denyed the holy and iust, and desyred a mortherar to be geuen you,

³² Which men, though they knew the ryghtewesnes of God, how that they which commyt soche thynges, are worthy of deeth, not only do the same but also haue pleasure in them that do them.

¹⁵ And yf it seme euell vnto you to serue the Lorde, then chose you this daye whom you will serue: whether the goddes which youre fathers serued (that were on the other syde of the floude) ether the Goddes of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell. As for me and my howse, we will serue the Lorde.

²¹ And Elia came vnto all the people, and sayde: howe longe halte ye betwene two opynions? If the Lord be God, folowe hym: but yf Baal be he, then go after hym. And the people answered hym not one worde.

¹⁶ Iacob begat Ioseph the husbande of Mary, of whom was borne Iesus, euen he that is called Chryst.

²¹ The debite answered, and sayde vnto them: whether of the twayne, will ye, that I let loosse vnto you? They sayd: Barrabas. ²² Pilate sayde vnto them: what shall I do then with Iesus whych is called Christ? They all sayd vnto him: let him be crucifyed.

⁹ Pylate answered them sayenge: Will ye that I let lowse vnto you the kyng of the Iewes? ¹⁰ For he knewe, that the hye Prestes had delyuered him of enuy. ¹¹ But the hye prestes moued the people, that he shulde rather delyuer Barrabas vnto them. ¹² Pylate answered agayne, and sayde vnto them: What wyll ye then that I do vnto him, whom ye call the kyng of the Iewes?

¹⁵ They cryed, awaye wt him, awaye wt him, crucifye him. Pylate saieth vnto them: shall I crucifye your kyng? The hye prestes answered: we haue no kyng but Cesar.

¹¹ And hys brethren hated him, but hys father noted the sayinge.

⁷ And the wemen answered one another in theyr playe, & sayde Saul hath slayne his thousande, and Dauid hys ten thousande. ⁸ And Saul was excedyng wroth, and the sayinge displeased him, and he sayde: they haue ascribed vnto Dauid ten thousande, and to me but a thousande, & what can he more haue, saue the kyngdome? ⁹ Wherfore Saul loked on syde of Dauid from that daye forwarde. ¹⁰ And it happened on the morowe, that the euell sprete sent of God came vpon Saul, and he prophesyed in the myddes of the house. And Dauid played with hys hande lyke as at other tymes, ¹¹ and there was a iauelyng in Sauls hande. And Saul toke the iauelyng, & sayde: I wyll nayle Dauid to the wall with it. And Dauid auoyded oute of hys presence two tymes.

¹⁶ They angred Moses also in the tentes, and Aaron the sayncte of the Lorde.

⁴ Wrath is a cruell thinge and furiousnesse is a very tempest: but who is able to abyde enuye?

⁴ Agayne, I sawe that all trauayle, & dilygence of labour, that euery man taketh in hande, was done of enuy agaynst his neyboure This is also a vaine thinge, and a vexacion of mynde.

¹¹ Lorde, when thy hande is lyfte vp to stryke, they se it not: but they shall se it, and be confounded with the zele of the people, and the fyer that consumeth thyne enemyes, shall deuoure them.

¹⁰ For he knewe, that the hye Prestes had delyuered him of enuy.

¹⁷ Then the chefe Preste rose vp, and all they that were with him (which is the secte of the Saduces) and were full of indignacion,

⁹ And the patriarkes hauing indygnacyon solde Ioseph into Egypte. And God was with hym,

⁴⁵ But when the Iewes sawe the people, they were full of indignacion & spake agaynst those thynges, which were spoken of Paul, spekynge agaynst it, & raylinge on it:

⁵ Ether do ye thynke that the scripture sayth in vayne. The sprete the dwelleth in vs, lusteth euen contrary to enuy:

³ But God came to Abimelech in a dreame in the nyght and sayde to hym: Se, thou shalt dye for the womans sake which thou hast taken awaye, for she is a mans wyfe. ⁴ But Abimelech had not yet come nye her, & he sayde: Lorde wylt thou sley ryghtewes people? ⁵ sayde not he vnto me, she is my syster? yee, & sayde not she herselfe: he is my brother? with a pure herte and innocent handes haue I done this. ⁶ And God sayde vnto him by a dreame: I wot it well that thou dydest it in the purenesse of thy herte. I kepte the also that thou shuldest not sinne agaynst me, & therfore suffred I the not to touch her.

²⁴ And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dreame by night, & sayd vnto hym: take hede, that thou speake not to Iacob ought saue good.

²⁹ for I am able to do you euyll. But the God of your father spake vnto me yesterdaye, saying take hede that thou speake not to Iacob ought saue good.

⁶ And he said: heare my wordes. If there be a prophete of the Lordes amonge you, I wylbe knowne of him in a visyon: and wyll speake vnto him in slepe.

¹⁴ For when God doth once commaunde a thynge, there shulde no man be curyous, to searche whether it be ryght. ¹⁵ In dreames and visyons of the nyght (when slombring commeth vpon men, that they fall a slepe in their beddes) ¹⁶ he roundeth them in the eares, he infourmeth them, and sheweth them playnely, ¹⁷ that it is he, whych withdraweth man from euyll, delyuereth hym from pryde,

¹ He that is styfnecked, & wyll not be refourmed, shall sodenly be destroyed without eny help.

¹¹ With trauayle & laboure of hys soule, shall he optayne frute, and he shall be satisfyed by the knowledge of hym whych is my ryghteous seruaunt he shall iustifye the multitude, for he shall beare awaye theyr synnes.

⁹ Reioyce thou greatly, O daughter Syon be glad, O daughter Ierusalem. For lo, thy kynge commeth vnto the, euen the ryghteous and Sauioure, Lowly & symple is he, he rydeth vpon an asse, & vpon the foale of an asse.

²⁰ But whyll he thus thought, beholde, the aungell of the Lorde appeared vnto hym in slepe, saying: Ioseph, thou sonne of Dauid: feare not to take vnto the Mary thy wyfe. For that which is conceaued in her, cometh of the holy ghost.

¹² And after they were warned of God in slepe (that they shuld not go agayne to Herode) they returned into their awne countre another waye. ¹³ When they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appered to Ioseph in slepe saying, aryse, & take the chyld and his mother, and flye into Egipt: and be thou there tyll I brynge the worde. For it wyll come to passe that Herode shall seke the chylde, to destroye hym.

¹⁹ But when Herode was deed: beholde, an angell of the Lorde appeared in a slepe to Ioseph, in Egypte,

²² But when he hearde that Arthelaus dyd raygne in Iewry, in the rowme of his father Herode, he was afrayde to go thither. Notwithstandinge, after he was warned of God in a slepe, he turned a syde into the parties of Galile,

⁴ sayinge: I haue synned, betrayinge the innocent bloud. And they sayd: what is that to vs? Se thou to that.

²⁴ When Pilate sawe that he coulde preuayle nothinge, but that more busynes was made, he toke water, and wasshed hys handes before the people, sayinge: I am innocent of the bloud of this iust person, ye shall se.

¹³ When Pylate hearde that sayinge, he brought Iesus forth, and sate downe to geue sentence, in a place that is called the pauement: but in the Hebrue tonge, Gabbatha.

²² whych dyd no synne, nether was there gyle found in hys mouth:

¹ My lytell chyldren, these thinges write I vnto you, that ye synne not. And yf eny man synne, we haue an aduocate wyth the father, Iesus christ, the ryghteous:

¹¹ But the hye prestes moued the people, that he shulde rather delyuer Barrabas vnto them.

¹⁸ And all the people cryed at once, sayinge: awaye wyth hym, and delyuer to vs Barrabas: ¹⁹ (whych for a certayne insurreccyon made in the cytie and for morther, was cast in preson) ²⁰ Pylate spake agayne to them wyllynge to let Iesus losse,

¹⁵ They cryed, awaye wt him, awaye wt him, crucifye him. Pylate saieth vnto them: shall I crucifye your kyng? The hye prestes answered: we haue no kyng but Cesar. ¹⁶ Then delyuered he hym vnto them, to be crucified. And they toke Iesus, and led hym away.

¹⁴ But ye denyed the holy and iust, and desyred a mortherar to be geuen you, ¹⁵ and kylled the Lorde of lyfe, whom God hath raysed from deeth, of the which we are witnesses.

¹⁸ And with these sayinges, sease refrayned they the people, that they had not done sacryfyce vnto them. ¹⁹ Thyther came certayne Iewes from Antioche and Iconium: which (whan they had obtayned the peoples consent and had stoned Paul) drew him out of the cytie, suppoge he had bene deed.

²³ The same tyme ther arose no lytell a do aboute that waye. ²⁴ For a certayne man named Demetrius, a syluersmyth (which made syluer shrynes for Diana) was not a lytell beneficiall vnto the craftesmen. ²⁵ Whom he called together with the workemen of lyke occupacion, and sayd: Syrs, ye knowe that by this crafte we haue aduauntage. ²⁶ Moreouer, ye se & heare that not alone at Ephesus, but allmost thorowe out all Asia, thys Paul hath persuaded & turned awaye moche people sayinge, that they be not goddes which are made with handes. ²⁷ So that not only this oure crafte cometh into parell to be set at nought: but also that the temple of the greate Goddesse Diana shulde be despysed, & her magnificence shulde be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshyppeth. ²⁸ When they hearde these sayinges, they were full of wrathe, & cryed out, sayinge. Greate is Diana of the Ephesians. ²⁹ And al the cytie was on a rore, and they russhed into the comen hall with one assent, & caught Gaius and Aristarcus, men of Macedonia, Pauls companions.

³¹ Dyd not the men of myne awne houshold saye: who shall let vs to haue oure belly full of his fleshe?

⁸ He trusted in God that he wolde delyuer him: let him delyuer him, yf he wyll haue him. ⁹ But thou art he that toke me out of my mothers wombe: thou wast my hope, when I hanged yet vpon my mothers brestes.

⁷ Moreouer, thus sayth the Lorde the auenger and holy one of Israel: because of the abhorringe and despysinge amonge the Gentiles, concerning the seruaunt of all them that beare rule. Kynges and princes shall se, and aryse and worshyp, because of the Lord that is faythfull: & because of the holy one of Israel, which hath chosen the.

² For he dyd growe before the Lord lyke as a braunche, & as a rote in a drye grounde, he hath nether bewtye nor fauoure. When we shall loke vpon hym, there shalbe no fayrnesse: we shall haue no lust vnto him. ³ He is despised & abhorred of men, he is soch a man as is full of sorowe & as hath good experience of infirmyties. We haue rekoned hym so vyle, that we hyd oure faces from hym, ye he was despised & therfore we regarded him not.

⁸ Thre shepherdes I putt out of offyce in one moneth, for I myght not awaye wyth them, nether had they eny delyte in me.

¹⁷ Therfore, when they were gathered together, Pilate sayd: whether wil ye that I geue loosse vnto you? Barrabas, or Iesus, whych is called Chryst?

⁵⁵ And the hye Prestes & all the counsell sought for witnes agaynst Iesu, to put hym to death, & founde none:

¹² Pylate answered agayne, and sayde vnto them: What wyll ye then that I do vnto him, whom ye call the kyng of the Iewes? ¹³ And they cryed agayne: crucifye him: ¹⁴ Pylate sayd vnto them, What euyll hath he done: And they cryed the moare feruentlye: Crucifye hym:

²⁰ Pylate spake agayne to them wyllynge to let Iesus losse, ²¹ But they cryed, sayinge: Crucifye hym, Crucifye hym. ²² He sayde vnto them the thyrde tyme: What euyll hath he done? I fynde no cause of deeth in him. I wyll therfore chasten him, & let him go. ²³ And they cryed wyth loude voyces, requiryng that he myght be crucyfyed. And the voyces: of them and of the hye Prestes preuayled. ²⁴ And Pylate gaue sentence, that it shuld be as they requyred

¹⁴ It was the preparyng daye of the easter, aboute the syxte houre. And he sayeth vnto the Iewes: beholde youre king? ¹⁵ They cryed, awaye wt him, awaye wt him, crucifye him. Pylate saieth vnto them: shall I crucifye your kyng? The hye prestes answered: we haue no kyng but Cesar.

³⁸ Be it knowne vnto you therfore (ye men and brethren) that thorowe thys man is preached vnto you the forgeuenes of sinnes,

¹⁸ And when they sawe him a farre of before he came at them, they toke councell agaynst him, for to sley hym. ¹⁹ For one sayde to another: Beholde this dreamer commeth:

³ And I wyll go oute, and stande by my father in the felde where thou art, and wyll comen wyth my father of the, and whatsoeuer I se, I wyll tell the. ⁴ And Ionathas spake good of Dauid vnto Saul hys father, and sayde vnto hym: let not the kynge synne agaynst hys seruaunt Dauid, for he hath not synned agaynst the, and hys workes haue bene to the ward very good. ⁵ For he dyd put hys lyfe in hys hande, and slue the Philistine, and the Lorde brought to passe a greate health for all Israel. Thou sawest it, and thou reioysedest, wherfore then wilt thou synne against innocent bloude, and slaye Dauid without a cause? ⁶ And Saul harkened vnto the voyce of Ionathas, and sware: as truly as the Lorde lyueth, he shall not dye. ⁷ And Ionathas called Dauid, and shewed hym all those wordes, & brought Dauid to Saul. And he was in his presens as in tymes past. ⁸ And the warre began agayne, and Dauid went out and fought wyth the Philistines, and slue them with a great slaughter, & they fledde from him. ⁹ And the euell sprete sent of the Lorde was vpon Saul, as he sat in hys house hauinge a Iauelinge in his hande, and Dauid played with his hande. ¹⁰ And Saul entended to nayle Dauid to the walle with the Iauelynge. But he ryd hym selfe out of Sauls presens, as he smote the speare into the walle. And Dauid fledde & was saued the same nyght. ¹¹ Saul also sent messengers vnto Dauids house, to watch him, and to sleye him in the mornynge. And Michol Dauids wyfe tolde it him, sayinge: If thou saue not thy selfe this night, to morowe thou wilt be slayne. ¹² And so Michol lett Dauid downe thorowe a wyndowe, and he went, & fled, and was saued. ¹³ And then she toke an Image and layed it in the bed, and put a pyllowe stuffed with goates hearre vnder the heed of it, and couered it with a clothe. ¹⁴ And when Saul sent messengers to fetche Dauid, she sayde, he is sycke. ¹⁵ And Saul sent the messengers agayne to se Dauid, sayinge: bringe him to me, bed & all, that I maye slaye him.

³¹ For as longe as the sonne of Isai lyueth vpon the erth, thou shalt not be stablished, nor yet thy kingdome, wherfore now sende and sett him vnto me, for he is the chylde of deeth. ³² And Ionathas answered vnto Saul his father, and sayde to him. Wherfore shulde he dye? what hath he done? ³³ And Saul lyfte vp a speare to hyt him, wherby Ionathas wyst well, that it was vtterlye determined of his father; to sleye Dauid.

¹⁴ Ahimelech answered the king & sayd who is so faithfull among all thy seruauntes as Dauid, & therto the kinges sonne in law, & goeth at thy bydding, & is had in honoure in thyne house? ¹⁵ haue I this daye begonne first to aske councell of God for him. That be farre from me: yf I had knowen it, lett not the kyng put soch a thyng vnto his seruaunt, in all the house of my father. For thy seruaunt knew nothing of all this, ether lesse or moare. ¹⁶ The king sayde: thou shalt surelye dye Ahimelech, thou and all thy fathers house ¹⁷ And the king sayde vnto the fote men that stode about him: turne, & sley the preastes of the Lord, both because their hand is with Dauid, & because they knewe when Dauid fleed, & shewed it not to me. But the seruauntes of the kyng wolde not moue their handes, to fall vpon the preastes of the Lorde. ¹⁸ And the kyng sayde to Doeg: turne thou, and fall vpon the preastes. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and ranne vpon the preastes, and slue that same daye foure skore & fyue persones, that dyd weare a lynnen Ephod. ¹⁹ And Nob the cytie of the preastes smote he wyth the edge of the swerde, both men & wemen, children and sucklynges, oxen and asses and shepe.

³⁸ But when the husbandmen sawe the sonne, they sayd amonge them selues: This is the heyre: come, let vs kyll him, & let vs enioye his inheritaunce ³⁹ And they caught hym, & thrust hym out of the vineyarde, & slewe him.

⁵⁷ Then they gaue a shout with a loud voyce, and stopped theyr eares, and ranne vpon him all at once,

⁵ But the Iewes which beleued not, had indignacion and toke vnto them euyll men, which were vagabundes, and gathered a company, and set all the cytie on a roare, & made assaute vnto the house of Iason, & sought to brynge them out to the people. ⁶ And when they founde them not they drue Iason, & certayne brethren vnto the heades of the cytie, cryinge: these that trouble the worlde, are come hyther also, ⁷ whom Iason hath receaued preuely. And these all do contrary to the decrees of Cesar, affirmynge another kynge, one Iesus.

²⁸ crying: men of Israell, helpe. This is the man, that teacheth all men euery where agaynst the people and the lawe, and thys place. He hath also brought Grekes into the temple, and hath polluted thys holy place. ²⁹ For they had sene with hym one in the cytie. Trophinus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple. ³⁰ And all the cytie was moued, and the people swarmed together. And they toke Paul and drue him out of the temple, and forth with, the dores were shut. ³¹ As they went about to kyll him, tidinges came vnto the hye captayne of the soudyers, that all Ierusalem was moued.

²² They gaue hym audience vnto thys worde, and then lyft vp theyr voyces and sayde: awaye with soche a felowe from the earth: for it is not reason that he shuld lyue. ²³ And as they cryed, and cast of thir clothes, and thrue dust into the ayer,

¹⁰ And when there arose greate debate, the captayne (fearyng, lest Paul shulde haue bene pluckte a sondre of them) commaunded the soudyers to go downe, and to take hym from amonge them, and to brynge hym into the castell.

¹² And whan it was daye, certayne of the Iewes gathered them selues togeather, and made a vowe, sayinge: that they wolde nether eate nor dryncke, tyll they had kylled Paul. ¹³ They were moo then fourtye men, which had made thys conspiracyon. ¹⁴ And they came to the chefe prestes and elders, and sayde: we haue bounde oure selues with a vowe, that we wyll eate nothynge, vntyll we haue slayne Paul. ¹⁵ Nowe therfore geue ye knowledge to the vpper captayne and to the councell, that he brynge hym forth vnto vs to morowe, as though we wold knowe some thyng more perfectly of him. But we (or euer he come neare) are redy to kyll hym.

⁶ And all the elders of the cytie that come furth to the slayne man, shall washe their handes ouer the heyffer that is beheaded in the valley, ⁷ and shall answere and saye: oure handes haue not shede thys bloud, nether haue oure eyes sene it. ⁸ Be mercyfull Lorde vnto thy people Israel, whych thou hast delyuered and laye no innocent bloude vnto thy people of Israels charge: & the bloude shalbe forgeuen them.

³⁰ If I washe my selfe with snowe water, and make myne handes neuer so cleane, at the wel, ³¹ yet shalt thou dyppe me in the myer: and myne awne clothes shall defyle me.

⁶ I will washe my handes in innocencye, O Lorde, and so will I go to thyne aulter.

²⁷ For they saye to a stocke, thou art my father, and to a stone: thou hast begotten me yee, they haue turned their backe vpon me, & not their face. But in the tyme of their trouble, when they saye: stande vp, and helpe vs,

³⁵ Yet darest thou saye: I am gyltlesse. Tush, his wrath can not come vpon me. Beholde, I condempne the in iudgement, because thou darest saye: I haue not offended.

⁹ Then was fulfylled, that which was spoken by Ieremy the Prophet, sayinge: and they toke thirtye syluer plates, the pryse of him that was valued, whom they bought of the chyldren of Israel,

⁴ Pylate went forth agayne, and sayde vnto them: beholde, I brynge hym forth to you, that ye maye know, that I fynde no faute in hym.

²¹ for he made him to be synne for vs, which knewe no synne, that we by his meanes shulde be that ryghtewesnes, which before God is alowed.

¹⁸ For as moch as Christ hath once suffered for synnes, the iust for the vniust, to bring vs to God, and was kylled, as pertayninge to the flesshe: but was quyckened in the sprete.

⁵ Thou shalt not worshyppe them, nether serue them: for I the Lorde thy God, am a gelouse God, and vyset the synne of the fathers vpon the chyldren vnto the thyrde and fourth generacyon of them that hate me:

³³ And se that ye polute not the lande which ye shall dwell in: for bloud defyleth the lande. And the land can none other wyse be clensed of the bloude that is shed therin, but by the bloude of hym that shed bloude.

¹⁰ that innocent bloude be not shed in thy lande, whych the Lorde thy God geueth the to enheret, and so bloude come vpon the.

¹³ Thyne eye shall not spare hym, but thou shalt put a waye innocent bloude, from Israel, that it maye go well wyth the.

¹⁹ And then whosoeuer doth go out at the dores of thy house, into the streat, his bloude shalbe vpon his awne head, & we wilbe giltlesse. And whosoeuer shalbe with the in the house, hys bloude shall be on oure heade, yf any mannes hande touche him:

¹⁶ then sayde Dauid vnto him: thy bloude be vpon thyne awne heed. For thyne awne mouth hath testyfied agaynst the sayinge: I haue slayne the Lordes anoynted.

²⁸ And when after warde it cam to Dauids eare, he sayd. I and my kyngdom are giltlesse before the Lorde for euer concernyng the bloude of Abner the sonne of Ner. ²⁹ Let the bloude remayne on the heed of Ioab & on all his fathers house that the house of Ioab be neuer wythout one or other that hath runnyng issues or leper, and that leaneth on a staff, and that doth fal on the swerde, & lacketh breed.

³² And the Lorde shall bryng hys bloud vpon his awne heed, for he smote two men right wyser and better then he, and slue them with the swerde, my father Dauid not knowynge therof: euen Abner the sonne of Ner, captayne of the hoost of Israel, and Amasa the sonne of Iether captaine of the hoost of Iuda.

³ Onely, at the byddynge of the Lorde happened it so to Iuda, to put them out of his syght, for the synnes of Manasse, accordynge to all that he dyd: ⁴ and for the innocent bloude that he shed, and fylled Ierusalem with innocent bloude: and the Lorde wolde not be reconcyled.

¹² Let his posterite be destroyed, and in the next generacyon let hys name be cleane put out. ¹³ Let the wickednesse of hys fathers be had in remembraunce in the syght of the Lorde, and let not the synne of his mother be done awaye. ¹⁴ Let them alwaye be before the Lorde, that he maye rote out the memoriall of them from of the earth. ¹⁵ And that because hys mynde was not to do good, but persecuted the poore helplesse man, that he myght slaye him, that was vexed at the hert ¹⁶ His delyte was in cursyng, & it shall happen vnto him: he loued not blessyng, therfore shall it be farre from him. ¹⁷ He clothed him self with cursyng lyke as with a rayment: & it shall come in to his bowels lyke water, and lyke oyle in to hys bones. ¹⁸ Lett it be vnto him as the cloke that he hath vpon him, and as the gyrdle that he is allwaye gyrded wt all. ¹⁹ Let it thus happen from the Lorde vnto myne enemyes, and to those that speake euell agaynst my soule.

¹⁴ Nowe yf this man get a sonne also, that seeth all hys fathers synnes, which he hath done: and feareth, nether doth soch lyke: ¹⁵ Namely, he eateth not vpon the mountaynes: he lyfteth not his eyes vp to the Idols of Israel: he defyleth not his neyghbours wyfe: ¹⁶ he vexeth no man: he kepeth no mans pledge: he nether spoyleth, ner robbeth eny man: he dealeth his meate wt the hongrye: he clotheth the naked: ¹⁷ he oppresseth not the poore: he receaueth no vsury, ner any thynge ouer: he kepeth my lawes, & walcketh in my commaundementes. This man shall not dye in his fathers synne, but shall lyue without fayle. ¹⁸ As for his father: because he oppressed & spoyled hys brother, and dyd wyckedly amonge his people: lo, he is deed in his awne synne. ¹⁹ And yet saye ye: Wherfore then shulde not thys sonne beare his fathers synne? Therfore: because the sonne hath done equytie & ryght, hath kepte all my commaundementes, & done them: therfore shall he lyue in dede. ²⁰ The same soule that synneth, shall dye. The sonne shall not beare the fathers offence, nether shall the father beare the sonnes offence. The ryghteousnes of the ryghtuous shall be vpon him, & the wickednes of the wicked shall be vpon him self also. ²¹ But yf the vngodly wyll turne awaye from all his synnes that he hath done, and kepe all my commaundementes, and do the thinge that is equall and ryght: doutles he shall lyue, and not dye. ²² As for all his synnes that he dyd before, they shall not be thought vpon: but in his righteousnes that he hath done, he shall lyue. ²³ For haue I eny pleasure in the death of a synner, sayeth the Lord God, but rather that he conuerte, and lyue? ²⁴ Agayne: yf the ryghtuous turne awaye from his ryghtuousnes, and do iniquyte, accordynge to all the abhominacyons, that the wicked man doth: shall he lyue? All the ryghtuousnes that he hath done, shall not be thought vpon: but in the faute that he hath offended withall, and in the synne that he hath done, he shall dye. ²⁵ And yet ye saye: Tush the waye of the Lord is not indifferent. Heare therfore ye house of Israel: Is not my waye ryght? Or, are not youre wayes rather wicked: ²⁶ When a ryghtuous man turneth awaye from hys ryghtuousnesse, and medleth wyth vngodlynes: he must dye therin: yee, for the vnrightuousnes that he hath done, must he dye. ²⁷ Agayne: when the wycked man turneth awaye from his wickednesse, that he hath done, and doth the thinge which is equall and ryght: he shall saue his soule alyue. ²⁸ For in so moch as he remembreth him selfe, & turneth him from all the vngodlynes that he hath vsed, he shall lyue and not dye. ²⁹ And yet sayeth the house of Israel: Tush, the waye of the Lorde is not equall. Are my wayes vnryght? O ye house of Israel: Are not youre wayes rather vnequall? ³⁰ As for me, I wyll iudge euery man, accordynge to his wayes, O ye house of Israel, sayeth the Lorde God. Wherfore, be conuerted, and turne you cleane from all your wyckednesse, so shall there no synne do you harme. ³¹ Cast awaye from you all youre vngodlynesse, that ye haue done: make you newe hertes and a newe sprete. Wherfore wyll ye dye, O ye house of Israell? ³² seynge I haue no pleasure in the death of him that dyeth, sayeth the Lord God. Turne you then, and ye shall lyue.

² thou sonne of man, wylt thou not reproue thys bloudthurstye cyte? Shew them their abhominacyons, ³ and tell them: Thus sayeth the Lorde God: O thou cyte, that sheddest bloude in the myddest of the, that thy tyme maye come also: & makest the Idoles to defyle the wythall. ⁴ Thou hast made thy selfe gylty, in the bloude that thou hast shed: and defyled the in the Idoles, which thou hast made. Thou hast caused thy dayes to drawe nye, & made the tyme of thy yeares to come. Therfore wyll I make the to be confounded amonde the Heathen, & to be despysed in all the landes,

⁷ for the bloude is yet in it. Upon a playne drye stone hath she powred it, & not vpon the grounde, that it myght be couered wt dust. ⁸ And therfore haue I letten her powre her bloude vpon a playne drye stony rocke, because it shulde not be hyd, and that I myght brynge my wrothfull indignacyon & vengeaunce vpon her. ⁹ Wherfore, thus sayth the Lord God: O, wo be vnto the bloud thurstye cyte, for whom euen I my selfe will make a grett fyre and sett moche woode,

⁴⁴ And whosoeuer falleth on this stone, shalbe broken in peces: but on whomsoeuer it falleth it shall all to grynd hym.

³⁰ & saye: yf we had bene in the dayes of our fathers, we wolde not haue bene parteners wyth them in the bloude of the Prophetes. ³¹ And so ye be wytnesses vnto youre selues, that ye are the chyldren of them whych kylled the prophetes. ³² Fulfyll ye lykewyse the measure of your fathers. ³³ Ye serpentes, ye generacion of vypers, how wyll ye scape the damnacyon of hell? ³⁴ Wherfore beholde I sende vnto you Prophetes & wyse men, & scrybes, and some of them ye shall kyll & crucifye: & some of them shal ye scourge in youre synagoges, & persecute them from cytie to cytie: ³⁵ that vpon you maye come all the ryghteous bloude whych hath bene shedd vpoon the erthe, from the bloude of ryghteous. Abel, vnto the bloude of Zachary sonne of Barachias, whom ye slewe betwene the temple & the altare. ³⁶ Uerely I saye vnto you: all these thynges shall come vpon this generacion. ³⁷ O Ierusalem, Ierusalem, thou that kyllest the prophetes, & stonest them which are sent vnto the: how often wolde. I haue gathered thy chyldren together, euen as the henne gathereth her chyckens vnder her wynges, & ye wolde not?

²⁸ sayinge: dyd not we straytely commaunde you: that ye shuld not teach in this name? And behold, ye haue fylled Ierusalem with youre doctryne, and intende to brynge this mans bloud vpon vs.

⁵² Which of the prophetes haue not your fathers persecuted? And they haue slaine them which shewed before of the comming of that Iust, whom ye haue nowe betrayd, and murdred.

¹⁵ Whych as they kylled the Lorde Iesus, and theyr awne Prophetes, euen so haue they persecuted vs: and God they please not, and are contrary to al men, ¹⁶ & hynder vs, that we shuld not speake vnto the Gentyls, that they myght be saued, to fulfyll their synnes alwaye. For the wrath of God is come on them, euen to the vtmost.

²⁸ He that despiseth Moses lawe, dyeth wythout mercy vnder two or thre witnesses: ²⁹ how moch sorer (suppose ye) shall he be ponisshed which treadeth vnder fote the sonne of God: & counteth the bloude of the testament, wherwith he was sanctifyed, as an vnholy thyng, & doth dishonoure to the sprete of grace. ³⁰ For we knowe hym that hath sayd: It belongeth vnto me to take vengeaunce. I wyll recompence sayth the Lord. And agayne: the Lord shal iudge his people.

⁶ but I offre my backe vnto the smyters, & my chekes to the nippers. I turne not my face from shame and spittyng,

⁵ and punished where as he (not wythstandynge) was wounded for oure offences, and smytten for oure wyckednes. For the chastysement of oure peace was layde vpon him, and wyth hys strypes are we healed.

³⁴ and they shall mocke hym, and scourge hym, spyt vpon him, and kyll hym. And thyrde daye he shall ryse agayne.

¹⁵ And so Pylate wyllinge to content the people, let lose Barrabas vnto them & delyuered vp Iesus (when he had scourged hym) for to be crucifyed.

²⁴ And Pylate gaue sentence, that it shuld be as they requyred ²⁵ and he let losse vnto them, hym that (for insurreccyon & morther) was cast into preson, whom they had desyred, and he delyuered vnto them Iesus, to do wt hym what they wolde.

¹ Then Pylate toke Iesus therfore, & scourged hym.

²⁴ whych hys awne selfe bare our synnes in his body on the tree, that we beyng delyuered from synne, shuld lyue vnto ryghteousnes. By whose strypes ye were healed.

¹⁶ And the soudyers leed him awaye into the commen hall, and called together the whole multitude, ¹⁷ & they clothed him with purple, & they platted a croune of thornes, & crouned him withall, ¹⁸ & beganne to salute him: Hayle kynge of the Iewes. ¹⁹ And they smote hym, on the heed wt a rede and dyd spitt vpon hym & bowed their knees, & worshyped him. ²⁰ And when they had mocked him, they toke the purple of hym, & put his awne clothes on him, & ledde hym out, to crucifye him.

³³ Then Pylate entred into the iudgement hall agayne, and called Iesus, and sayde vnto hym: art thou the kynge of the Iewes?

⁸ When Pylate hearde the sayinge, he was the moare afrayde, ⁹ and went agayne into the iudgement hall, and sayeth vnto Iesus: whence arte thou? But Iesus gaue him none answere.

¹ There was a certen man in Cesarea called Cornelius, a captayn of the soudyers of Italy,

³⁵ I wyll heare the (sayde he) when thyne accusars are come also: and he commaunded hym to be kepte in Herodes iudgement hall.

¹ When it was concluded, that we shuld sayle into Italy they delyuered both Paul & certayne other presoners, vnto one named Iulius, an vndercaptayne of Cesars soudiars.

¹⁷ & they clothed him with purple, & they platted a croune of thornes, & crouned him withall,

¹¹ And Herod wyth hys men of warre, despysed hym: and whan he had mocked hym, he arayed hym in whyte clothyng, and sent hym agayne to Pylate.

² And the soudiers wounde a croune of thornes, and put it on hys heed. And they dyd on him a purple garment, ³ and sayde: hayll kynge of the Iewes: and they smote hym on the face. ⁴ Pylate went forth agayne, and sayde vnto them: beholde, I brynge hym forth to you, that ye maye know, that I fynde no faute in hym. ⁵ Then came Iesus forth, wearynge a croune of thorne, and a robe of purple. And he sayeth vnto them: beholde the man.

¹⁵ But in myne aduersyte they reioysed, and gathered them together: Yee the very abiectes came together agaynst me vnawares, makynge mowes at me, and ceassed not. ¹⁶ With the flatrers were busy mockers, which gnasshed vpon me with theyr teeth.

⁷ And why? for thy sake haue I suffred reprofe, shame hath couered my face.

¹⁹ Drawe nye vnto my soule, and saue it: Oh delyuer me because of myne enemies. ²⁰ Thou hast knowen my reprose, my shame and my dyshonour: myne aduersaries are all in thy syght.

³ He is despised & abhorred of men, he is soch a man as is full of sorowe & as hath good experience of infirmyties. We haue rekoned hym so vyle, that we hyd oure faces from hym, ye he was despised & therfore we regarded him not.

⁷ O Lorde, Yf I am disceaued, then hast thou disceaued me: thou hast dealt strongly, and hast preuayled, and makest me stronge agayne. All the daye longe am I despised, & laughed to scorne of euery man:

⁴⁹ And forth with he came to Iesus, and sayde, hayle Master: and kyssed him.

³⁷ and set vp ouer his heed the cause of hys deeth, wrytten: This is Iesus the kynge of the Iewes.

¹⁸ & beganne to salute him: Hayle kynge of the Iewes.

³⁶ The soudyers also mocked hym, and came, and offred hym veneger, ³⁷ and sayd: yf thou be the kynge of the Iewes, saue thy selfe.

² And the soudiers wounde a croune of thornes, and put it on hys heed. And they dyd on him a purple garment, ³ and sayde: hayll kynge of the Iewes: and they smote hym on the face.

² lookyng vnto Iesus the captayne & finissher of our fayth, which (for the ioye that was set before him) abode the crosse, & despised the shame, & is set downe on the ryghte hande of the throne of God. ³ Consyder therfore, how that he endured such speakinge agaynst hym of synners lest ye shuld be weryed and faynte in your mindes.

⁸ They were the chyldren of fooles and vylaines, which are vexed out of the worlde. ⁹ Now am I their songe, and am become their ieastinge stock: ¹⁰ they abhorre me, and flye farre fro me, and stayne my face with spetle.

¹⁴ Lyke as the multitude shall wondre vpon hym, because hys face shalbe so deformed & not as a mans face, hys bewtye lyke no man:

¹ After that shalt thou be robbed thy selfe, O thou robbers daughter: they shall laye sege agaynst vs, & smyte the iudge of Israel wt a rodde vpon the cheke.

⁶⁷ Then dyd they spytt in his face, & buffeted him with fistes. And other smote him on hys face wyth the palme of their handes,

¹⁹ And they smote hym, on the heed wt a rede and dyd spitt vpon hym & bowed their knees, & worshyped him.

³⁵ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: Let the man die: and let all the multitude stone him with stones without the hoost.

¹⁰ and set two vnthriftes before him, to beare witnesse agaynst him, sayenge: thou dydest blaspheme God and the kyng. And then carye hym out, and stone hym to deeth.

¹³ & there came in two men (the children of Belial) and sate before him. And the two vnthriftie persones wytnessed agaynst Naboth, in the presence of the people, sayeng: Naboth dyd blaspheme God and the kyng, And they caried hym out of the cytie, and stoned hym wyth stones that he dyed.

³⁹ And they caught hym, & thrust hym out of the vineyarde, & slewe him.

²⁷ Then sayde he to the disciple: beholde thy mother. And from that houre the disciple toke her for hys awne.

⁵⁸ and cast hym out of the cytie, and stoned him. And the witnes layd downe theyr clothes at a yong mannes fete, whose name was Saul.

¹² Therfore Iesus also to sanctifye the people with hys awne bloud, suffered without the gate.

³ As yf the Preast that is anoynted do synne, (accordynge to the synne of the people) let hym brynge for hys synne whyche he hath synned a yonge oxe without blemyshe vnto the Lorde for a synneofferynge.

¹² shall he beare oute and carye the yong oxe altogether oute of the hoste vnto a clene place: euen where the asshes are powred out, and burne hym there on wodd in the fyre: euen by the place where the asshes are cast oute, shall he be brent.

²¹ And he shall bringe thys yonge oxe without the hoste, and burne hym as he burned the fyrst. For it is an oblacyon for the synne of the congregacyon.

³⁵ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: Let the man die: and let all the multitude stone him with stones without the hoost. ³⁶ And all the multitude brought him without the hoost, & stoned him with stones, and he dyed as the Lord commaunded Moses.

²⁴ Then sayde Iesus vnto his disciples: If eny man wil folowe me, let him forsake him selfe & take vp his crosse, & folowe me

²¹ And they compelled one that passed by, called Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus) which came out of the felde, to beare his crosse.

²⁶ And as they ledde hym awaye, they caught one Symon of Syren, commynge out of the felde: and on hym layde they the crosse, that he myght beare it after Iesus.

¹⁷ And he bare hys crosse, and went forth into a place, which is called the place of deed mens sculles. But in Hebrue, Golgotha:

¹⁰ Phrygia, and Pamphilia, of Egypte, and of the partyes of Lybia which is besyd? Syren, and straungers of Rome, Iewes & Proselites.

⁹ Then ther arose certen of the Synagoges, which is called the Synagoge of the Libertynes and Sirenytes, and of Alexandria, and of Celicia, and of Asia, disputynge with Steuen.

²⁰ some of them were men of Cypers & Siren: which when they were come to Antioche, spake vnto the Grekes, and preached the Lorde Iesus.

¹ There were in the congregacyon that is at Antioche, certayn prophtes, and teachers: as Barnabas and Simon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cerene and Manahen, Herode the Tetrarkes norsfelow, and Saul.

¹¹ For the bodyes of those beastes whose bloud is brought into the holy place by the hye prest to purge synne, are burnt with out the tentes. ¹² Therfore Iesus also to sanctifye the people with hys awne bloud, suffered without the gate.

²² And they brought him to a place named Golgotha (whych is yf a man interprete it: the place of deed mens sculles) ²³ and they gaue him to drinke, wyne mingled wyth myrre, but he receaued it not. ²⁴ And when they had crucifyed him they parted hys garmentes, castinge lotes vpon them, what euery man shulde take. ²⁵ And it was aboute the third houre, & they crucifyed him. ²⁶ And the tytle of his cause was wrytten: The kynge of the Iewes. ²⁷ And they crucified with him two theues. the one on the right hande, & the other on his lyfte. ²⁸ And the scrypture was fulfylled which sayeth: he was counted amonge the wycked. ²⁹ And they that went by, rayled on hym: wagging their heedes, and saying: A wretche thou that destroyest the temple, and byldest it in thre dayes: ³⁰ saue thy selfe, & come doune from the crosse. ³¹ Lykewyse also mocked hym the hye Prestes amonge them selues with the Scrybes & sayde, he saued other men, hym selfe he cannot saue. ³² Let Christ the kynge of Israell descende now from the crosse, that we maye se, & beleue. And they that were crucifyed with him checked him also.

³⁴ And at the nynth houre Iesus cryed with a loude voyce, saying: Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? whych is (yf one interpret it) my God, my God why hast thou forsaken me?

²⁷ And there folowed hym a greate company of people, and of wemen whych bewayled and lamented hym. ²⁸ But Iesus turned backe vnto them, and sayd: Ye daughters of Ierusalem, wepe not for me: but wepe for youre selues, and for youre chyldren. ²⁹ For beholde, the dayes wyl come, in the which they shall saye: happy are the baren and the wombes that neuer bare, and the pappes which neuer gaue sucke. ³⁰ Then shall they begynne to saye to the mountaynes: fall on vs: and to the hylles, couer vs. ³¹ For yf they do thys in a grene tree, what shalbe done in the drye? ³² And ther were two euyll doers ledde wt hym to be slayne. ³³ And after that they were come to the place (which is called Caluary) ther they crucifyed him, & the euyl doers, one on the ryght hande, and the other on the lefte. ³⁴ Then sayd Iesus: father forgeue them, for they wote not what they do. And they parted his rayment, and cast lottes. ³⁵ And the people stode, and behelde. And the rulers mocked him wyth them, saying: he saued other men, let him saue him selfe, yf he be very Christ, the chosen of God. ³⁶ The soudyers also mocked hym, and came, and offred hym veneger, ³⁷ and sayd: yf thou be the kynge of the Iewes, saue thy selfe. ³⁸ And a superscripcyon was wrytten ouer hym, wt lettres of Greke, & Latin, and Hebrew: This is the kynge of the Iewes.

⁴⁴ And it was about the syxte houre. And ther was darcknes ouer all the earth, vntyll the nynth houre,

¹⁷ And he bare hys crosse, and went forth into a place, which is called the place of deed mens sculles. But in Hebrue, Golgotha: ¹⁸ where they crucified hym, and two other with hym; on ether syde one, and Iesus in the myddes. ¹⁹ And Pylate wrote a tytle, & put it on the crosse. The wrytynge was. Iesus of Nazareth kynge of the Iewes.

²³ Then the soudiers, when they had crucifyed Iesus, they toke his garmentes & made foure partes, to euery soudier a parte, & also hys coate. The coate was without seme, wrought vpon thorowe out. ²⁴ They sayd therfore amonge them selues: Lett vs not deuyde it, but cast lotes for it, who shall haue it. That the scrypture myght be fulfylled, sayinge: They parted my rayment amonge them, and for my coate dyd they cast lotes. And the soudiers dyd soch thynges in dede.

²¹ The rebuke hath broken my herte, I am full of heuynes: I loked for some to haue pitye vpon me, but there was no man: nether founde I anye to comforte me.

⁴⁸ And streyght waye one of them ranne, and toke a sponge, and whan he had fylled it full of veneger, he put it on a rede, and gaue him to drincke.

²³ and they gaue him to drinke, wyne mingled wyth myrre, but he receaued it not.

²⁸ After these thinges, Iesus knowinge that all thinges were now performed: that the scripture myght be fulfylled: he sayeth: I thyrst ²⁹ So ther stode a vessel by, full of veneger. Therfore they fylled a sponge with veneger and wounde it about with ysope, and put it to his mouth. ³⁰ Assone as Iesus then receaued of the veneger, he sayde. It is fynisshed, & bowed his heed, and gaue vp the goost.

¹⁶ For dogges are come aboute me, & the councell of the wycked laye seage agaynst me.

¹⁸ They parte my garmentes amonge them and cast lottes vpon my vesture.

³⁴ Then sayd Iesus: father forgeue them, for they wote not what they do. And they parted his rayment, and cast lottes.

²⁰ And when he had so sayde, he shewed vnto them his handes, & his syde. Then were the disciples glad when they sawe the Lord.

²⁵ The other disciples therfore sayde vnto him: we haue sene the Lorde. But he sayde vnto them: except I se in hys handes the prynt of the nayles, & put my fynger in to the prynte of the nayles, & thrust my hande into his syde, I will not beleue.

²⁷ After that sayd he to Thomas: bringe thy fynger hether, & se my handes, & reach hyther thy hande, & thrust it into my syde, & be not faythlesse, but beleuinge.

¹⁰ be it knowen vnto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Iesus Chryst of Nazareth, whom ye crucyfyed, whom God raysed agayne from deeth: euen by him doth this man stande here present before you whoale.

³⁹ And when the Centurion (which stode before him) sawe, that he so cryed, and gaue vp the goost, he sayde: truly this man, was the sonne of God.

⁴⁴ And Pilate merueled, that he was alredy deed, and called vnto him the Centurion, and asked of him, whether he had bene eny whyle deed.

²⁶ And the tytle of his cause was wrytten: The kynge of the Iewes.

³⁸ And a superscripcyon was wrytten ouer hym, wt lettres of Greke, & Latin, and Hebrew: This is the kynge of the Iewes.

¹⁹ And Pylate wrote a tytle, & put it on the crosse. The wrytynge was. Iesus of Nazareth kynge of the Iewes. ²⁰ Thys tytle redd many of the Iewes. For the place where Iesus was crucyfyed, was nye to the cytye. And it was wrytten in Hebrue, and Greke and Latyn. ²¹ Then sayde the hye prestes of the Iewes to Pylate: wrytte not kynge of the Iewes, but that he sayde, I am kynge of the Iewes: ²² Pylate answered: what I haue wrytten, that haue I wrytten.

¹² Therfore wyll I geue hym the multitude for hys parte, and he shall deuyde the spoyle wyth the strongest because he geueth ouer hys soule to death, and is rekened amonge the transgressours, whych neuertheles hath taken awaye the synnes of the multitude, and made intercessyon for the mysdoers.

⁴⁴ The theues also, which were crucifyed with him, cast the same in his tethe.

²⁷ And they crucified with him two theues. the one on the right hande, & the other on his lyfte.

³⁷ For I saye vnto you, that yet the same whych is wrytten, must be performed in me: euen among the wycked was he reputed. For those thynges whych are wrytten of me, haue an ende.

³² And ther were two euyll doers ledde wt hym to be slayne. ³³ And after that they were come to the place (which is called Caluary) ther they crucifyed him, & the euyl doers, one on the ryght hande, and the other on the lefte.

³⁹ And one of the euyll doers whych were hanged, rayled on him, sayinge: If thou be Chryst, saue thy selfe and vs. ⁴⁰ But the other answered & rebuked him, sayinge: Fearest thou not God, seynge thou art in the same dampnacyon? ⁴¹ We are ryghteously punysshed, for we receaue accordynge to oure dedes: But thys man hath done nothynge amysse. ⁴² And he sayde vnto Iesus. Lorde, remember me, when thou commest into thy kyngdome. ⁴³ And Iesus sayde vnto hym: Uerely I saye vnto the: to daye shalt thou be wyth me in Paradyse.

¹⁸ where they crucified hym, and two other with hym; on ether syde one, and Iesus in the myddes.

³¹ The Iewes therfore because it was the preparing of the Sabboth, that the bodyes shuld not remayne vpon the crosse on the sabboth daye (for that sabboth daye was an hye daye) besought Pilate, that their legges might be broken and that they might be taken downe. ³² Then came the soudiers, and brake the legges of the fyrst, and of the other which was crucyfied with him. ³³ But when they came to Iesus: and sawe that he was deed already, they brake not his legges: ³⁴ but one of the soudiers wt a speare, thrust him into the syde, and forth with came ther out bloude and water. ³⁵ And he that sawe it, bare recorde, & hys record is true. And he knoweth that he sayth true, that ye might beleue also.

⁴ I coulde speake, as ye do also. But wold God, that youre soule were in my soules steade: then shuld I heape vp wordes agaynst you, and shake my heade at you.

⁶ But as for me, I am a worme & no man: a very scorne of men & the outcast of the people. ⁷ All they that se me, laugh me to scorne: they shote out theyr lyppes, & shake the heade sayinge.

¹⁷ They pearsed my handes and my fete, I maye tell all my bones, they stonde starynge and lokynge vpon me.

¹¹ For my lyfe is waxen olde with heuynesse, & my yeares with mournynge. ¹² My strength fayleth me because of myne iniquite, and my bones are corrupte. ¹³ I became a reprofe amonge all myne enemyes, but specially amonge my neyghbours, and they of myne acquayntaunce were afrayed of me: & they that dyd se me without, conueyed them selues fro me.

¹⁵ But in myne aduersyte they reioysed, and gathered them together: Yee the very abiectes came together agaynst me vnawares, makynge mowes at me, and ceassed not. ¹⁶ With the flatrers were busy mockers, which gnasshed vpon me with theyr teeth. ¹⁷ Lorde, howe longe wylt thou loke vpon thys? O delyuer my soule from the calamityes which they brynge on me, and my dearlynge from the lyons? ¹⁸ So wyll I geue the thankes in the greate congregacyon I wyll prayse the amonge moche people. ¹⁹ O let not them that are myne enemyes triumphe ouer me vngodlye nether: let them wyncke with theyr eyes, that hate me without a cause. ²⁰ And why? theyr comonyng is not for peace, but they ymagyne disceatfull wordes agaynst them that are quyet in the lande. ²¹ They gaped vpon me with theyr mouthes, and sayde: fye on the, fye on the: we dyd se it with oure eyes.

⁷ And why? for thy sake haue I suffred reprofe, shame hath couered my face. ⁸ I am become a straunger vnto my brethren: euen an aleaunt vnto my mothers children. ⁹ For the zele of thyne house hath euen eaten me, and the rebukes of them that rebuked the are fallen vpon me. ¹⁰ I wepte and chastened my selfe with fastynge, and that was turned to my reprofe. ¹¹ I put on a sacke cloth also, & they iested vpon me. ¹² They that sitte in the gate, speake agaynst me, and the dronckardes make songes vpon me.

²⁰ Thou hast knowen my reprose, my shame and my dyshonour: myne aduersaries are all in thy syght.

² & they haue spoken against me with false tonges. They compased me about also with wordes of hatred, & fought agaynst me without a cause.

²⁵ Helpe me (O Lord my God) oh saue me accordynge to thy mercye.

¹² Haue ye no regarde O all ye that go fore by, be holde and se, yf there be eny sorow lyke vnto myne, wherwith the Lorde hath troubled me, in the daye of his fearfull wrath.

¹⁵ All they that go by the, clappe their handes at the: hissynge and wagginge their heades vpon the daughter Ierusalem, and saye: is this the cyte that men call so fayre: wherin the whole lande reioyseth? ¹⁶ All thyne enemies gape vpon the: whysperinge and bytinge their teth, saying: let vs deuoure, for the tyme that we loked for, is come: we haue founde and sene it. ¹⁷ The Lorde hath fulfylled the thinge, that he was purposed to do: and perfourmed that he had deuised longe a go: he hath destroyed, and not spared. He hath caused thine aduersarye triumphe ouer the, and set vp the horne of thyne enemie.

²⁹ And they that went by, rayled on hym: wagging their heedes, and saying: A wretche thou that destroyest the temple, and byldest it in thre dayes: ³⁰ saue thy selfe, & come doune from the crosse.

³⁵ And the people stode, and behelde. And the rulers mocked him wyth them, saying: he saued other men, let him saue him selfe, yf he be very Christ, the chosen of God. ³⁶ The soudyers also mocked hym, and came, and offred hym veneger, ³⁷ and sayd: yf thou be the kynge of the Iewes, saue thy selfe. ³⁸ And a superscripcyon was wrytten ouer hym, wt lettres of Greke, & Latin, and Hebrew: This is the kynge of the Iewes. ³⁹ And one of the euyll doers whych were hanged, rayled on him, sayinge: If thou be Chryst, saue thy selfe and vs.

²² whych dyd no synne, nether was there gyle found in hys mouth: ²³ whych when he was reuyled, reuyled not agayne: when he suffered, he threatened not, but committed the vengeaunce to hym that iudgeth ryghteously ²⁴ whych hys awne selfe bare our synnes in his body on the tree, that we beyng delyuered from synne, shuld lyue vnto ryghteousnes. By whose strypes ye were healed.

¹⁹ For one sayde to another: Beholde this dreamer commeth: ²⁰ come nowe therfore and let vs sley hym and cast hym in to some pytt, and we wyll saye a wycked beast hath deuoured hym, and we shall se what wyll come of hys dreames.

³ And when the tempter came to hym, he sayde: yf thou be the sonne of God commaunde, that these stones be made bread:

⁶ and sayeth vnto him: yf thou be the sonne of God, cast thy selfe downe headling. For it is written he shall geue hys angels charge ouer the, & with their handes they shal holde the vp, lest at any tyme thou dash thy fote agaynst a stone.

⁴ The frowarde & aduoutrous nacyon requyreth a sygne, and there shall no sygne be geuen vnto it, but the sygne of the Prophet Ionas. And he lefte them, and departed.

⁶¹ and sayde: This felowe sayde. I am able to destroye the temple of God, & to buylde it agayne in thre dayes.

⁶³ But Iesus helde hys peace. And the chefe preste answered and sayde vnto him: I charge the by the lyuinge God, that thou tell vs, whether thou be Christ the sonne of God. ⁶⁴ Iesus sayeth vnto hym, thou hast sayd. Neuerthelesse I saye vnto you here after shall ye se the sonne of man syttinge on the right hande of power, and commyng in the cloudes of the skye.

⁴² He saued other, him selfe can he not saue. If he be the kynge of Israel: let him now come doune from the crosse, & we will beleue him.

²⁹ lest after he hath layde the foundacyon, and is not able to performe it, all that beholde it, begynne to mocke hym, ³⁰ sayinge: this man beganne to buylde, & was not able to make an ende?

³¹ He sayde vnto him: If they heare not Moses and the Prophetes, nether wyll they beleue, though one rose from deeth agayne.

¹⁹ Iesus answered & sayde vnto them: destroye thys temple, and in thre dayes I wyll reare it vp. ²⁰ Then sayde the Iewes .xlvj. yeres was thys temple a byldynge: & wylt thou reare it vp in thre dayes? ²¹ But he spake of the temple of his body. ²² Assone therfore as he was rysen from deeth agayne, his disciples remembred that he thus had sayde. And they beleued the scripture, & the wordes which Iesus had sayde

⁹ Shall that helpe you, when he calleth you to rekeninge. For as one man mocketh another, so do ye mocke hym.

¹² Greate oxen are come aboute me, fatt bulles of Basan close me in on euery syde. ¹³ They gape vpon me with theyr mouthes as it were a rampynge and roarynge lyon.

²⁶ Let them be put to confusyon and shame together that reioyse at my trouble: let them be clothed with rebuke and dishonoure that boast them selues agaynst me.

²² Now therfore se that ye be no mockers, lest your punyshment increace: for I haue heard of the Lorde of hostes, that there shall come a short ende vpon the whole earth.

³² For he shalbe delyuered vnto the gentyls, & shalbe mocked, and despytfully entreated, & spytted on:

⁵² Then Iesus sayde vnto the hye prestes and rulers of the temple and the elders, whych were come to hym. Ye be come out, as vnto a thefe, wyth sweardes and staues.

³⁵ And the people stode, and behelde. And the rulers mocked him wyth them, saying: he saued other men, let him saue him selfe, yf he be very Christ, the chosen of God.

³⁸ sayinge: blessed be the kynge that commeth in the name of the Lorde: peace in heauen, and glory in the hyest:

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and sayd vnto him: Rabbi, thou art euen the very sonne of God, thou art the kyng of Israel.

²⁴ Then agayne called they the man that was blynde, and sayd vnto hym: Geue God the prayse: we knowe that thys man is a synner.

¹³ toke braunches of palme trees, and went forth to mete hym, and cryed: Hosanna, blessed is he that in the name of the Lorde, commeth Kyng of Israell.

⁴⁷ And yf any man heare my wordes, and beleue not, I iudge him not. For I came not to iudge the world: but to saue the worlde.

¹⁴ and beholdynge also the man (which was healed) standynge with them, they coulde not saye agaynst it:

² Many one there be, that saye of my soule: there is no helpe for hym in God. Sela.

⁶ As for you, ye haue made a mocke at the councell of the poore, because he putteth hys trust in the Lorde.

⁸ He trusted in God that he wolde delyuer him: let him delyuer him, yf he wyll haue him.

¹⁰ Namely, whyle they saye daylie vnto me: where is now thy God?

¹¹ Let them be confounded and peryshe, that are agaynst my soule: let them be couered with shame and dyshonoure, that seke to do me euell.

¹⁵ Morouer let not Hezekias conforte you in the Lorde, when he sayth: The Lord wtout doubt shall defende vs, and shal not geue ouer this citye into the handes of the kyng of the Assyrians, beleue hym not.

¹⁸ Let not Hezekia disceaue you, when he sayth vnto you: the Lorde shall delyuer vs? Might the Goddes of the Gentils kepe euery mans lande, from the power of the kynge of the Assirians?

¹⁰ Saye thus to Hezekias king of Iuda: Let not thy God disceaue the, in whom thou hopest, and sayest: Ierusalem shall not be geuen into the handes of the king of Assiria.

⁴⁰ and sayinge: thou that destroydest the temple of God and dyddest bylde it in thre dayes, saue thy selfe If thou be the sonne of God, come downe from the crosse.

¹⁶ For God so loue the worlde, that, he gaue is only begotten sonne, that whosoeuer beleueth in him, shulde not perisshe, but haue euerlastyng lyfe. ¹⁷ For God sent not his sonne into the worlde, to condempne the worlde but that the world through him myght be saued.

¹⁷ And Iesus answered them. My father worketh hitherto, and I worke. ¹⁸ Therfore, the Iewes sought the more to kyll him, not onely because he had broken the Sabboth: but sayde also that God was hys father and made hym selfe equall with God. ¹⁹ Then answered Iesus, & sayde vnto them: verely, verely. I saye vnto you the sonne can do nothinge of him selfe, but that he seeth the father do. For whatsoeuer he doeth, that doeth the sonne also. ²⁰ For the father loueth the sonne, and sheweth hym all thinges that he hym selfe doeth. And he will shewe him greater workes then these, because ye shuld maruayle. ²¹ For lykewyse as the father rayseth vp the deed, and quyckeneth them, euen so the sonne quyckeneth whom he wyll ²² Nether iudgeth the father eny man: but hath commytted all iudgement vnto the sonne, ²³ because that all men shuld honoure the sonne euen as they honoure the father. He that honoureth not the sonne, the same honoureth not the father which hath sent hym. ²⁴ Uerely, verely I saye vnto you. He that heareth my worde, & beleueth on him that sent me, hath euerlasting lyfe, and shall not come into damnacyon: but is scaped from deeth vnto lyfe. ²⁵ Uerely, verely, I saye vnto you the houre shall come, & nowe it is, when the deed shall heare the voyce of the sonne of God. And they that heare, shall lyue.

³⁰ I and my father are one.

³⁶ concernynge hym whom the father hath sanctifyed, and sent into the worlde) Do ye saye that I blaspheme because I sayde, I am the sonne of God?

⁷ Amonge the busshes wente they aboute crying, and vnder the thornes they gathered them selues together. ⁸ They were the chyldren of fooles and vylaines, which are vexed out of the worlde. ⁹ Now am I their songe, and am become their ieastinge stock:

¹⁵ But in myne aduersyte they reioysed, and gathered them together: Yee the very abiectes came together agaynst me vnawares, makynge mowes at me, and ceassed not.

³⁸ Then were there two theues crucifyed with him, one on the ryght hande, and another on the lyfte.

³² Let Christ the kynge of Israell descende now from the crosse, that we maye se, & beleue. And they that were crucifyed with him checked him also.

³ As for heauen, I clothe it with darcknesse, and put as it were a sack vpon it.

⁹ At the same tyme (sayeth the Lord God) I shall cause the Sunne to go downe at none, and the lande to be darcke in the cleare daye.

²⁵ And it was aboute the third houre, & they crucifyed him.

³³ And when the syxte houre was come, darcknes arose ouer all the erth, vntyll the nynth houre. ³⁴ And at the nynth houre Iesus cryed with a loude voyce, saying: Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? whych is (yf one interpret it) my God, my God why hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁴ And it was about the syxte houre. And ther was darcknes ouer all the earth, vntyll the nynth houre, ⁴⁵ and the sonne was darckned. And the vayle of the temple dyd rent, euen thorow the myddes.

¹² And the fourth Angell blew, and the thyrde parte of the sunne was smytten, and the thirde parte of the mone, and the thyrde parte of starres: so that the thyrd part of them was darckned. And the daye was smytten, that the thyrde part of it shulde not shyne, & lykewyse the nyght.

² And he opened the bottomlesse pytt, and the smoke of the pytt arose as the smoke of a gret fornace. And the sunne, and the ayer were darckned by the reason of the smoke of the pytt.

¹ To the Chaunter vpon the hynde of the dawnynge a Psalme of Dauid. My God, my God: why hast thou forsaken me: and art so farre fro my health, and from the wordes of my complaynte?

¹⁰ Yet hath it pleased the Lorde thus to bruste hym wyth plages, and to smyte hym wyth infyrmite, that when he had made his soule an offeryng for synne, he myght se longe lastynge sede. And thys deuyce of the Lorde shall prospere in hys hande.

⁴⁶ And whan Iesus had cryed with a loude voyce, he sayd: Father, into thy handes I commende my sprete. And when he thus had sayd, he gaue vp the goost.

⁷ which in the dayes of his flesshe, whan he had offered vp prayers and supplicacions, with stronge cryinge and teares (vnto him that was able to saue him from deeth) and was hearde because of hys reuerence,

⁵ Beholde, I wyll sende you Elias the prophet: before the commynge of the daye of the greate and fearefull Lorde.

¹⁴ And yf ye wyll receaue it this is Helias, which was for to come.

³⁵ And some of them that stode by, when they hearde that, sayd: beholde, he calleth for Helias. ³⁶ And one ran, and fylled a sponge full of veneger, and put it on a rede, & gaue him to drincke, sayinge: let him alone, let vs se, whether Helias wyll come and take hym downe:

³⁴ and gaue hym veneger to drincke myngled with gall. And when he had tasted therof, he wolde not drincke.

³⁶ The soudyers also mocked hym, and came, and offred hym veneger,

¹⁴ I am powred out lyke water, & all my bones are out of ioynt: my hert also in the myddest of my bodye is euen lyke meltynge waxe. ¹⁵ My strength is dryed vp lyke a potsherde, & my tonge cleueth to my gummes: and thou shalt brynge me into the dust of death.

⁹ Hys graue was geuen hym wyth the condemned, and wyth the ryche man at hys deeth. Where as he dyd neuer violence ner vnryght, nether hath there bene eny disceatfulnesse in hys mouth. ¹⁰ Yet hath it pleased the Lorde thus to bruste hym wyth plages, and to smyte hym wyth infyrmite, that when he had made his soule an offeryng for synne, he myght se longe lastynge sede. And thys deuyce of the Lorde shall prospere in hys hande. ¹¹ With trauayle & laboure of hys soule, shall he optayne frute, and he shall be satisfyed by the knowledge of hym whych is my ryghteous seruaunt he shall iustifye the multitude, for he shall beare awaye theyr synnes. ¹² Therfore wyll I geue hym the multitude for hys parte, and he shall deuyde the spoyle wyth the strongest because he geueth ouer hys soule to death, and is rekened amonge the transgressours, whych neuertheles hath taken awaye the synnes of the multitude, and made intercessyon for the mysdoers.

²⁶ After these .lxij. wekes, shall Christ be slayne, and they shall haue no pleasure in hym. Then shall there come a people with the Prince, and destroye the cyte & the Sanctuary: and hys ende shall come as the water floude. But the desolacyon shall contynue tyll the ende of the battell.

²⁸ euen as the sonne of man cam, not to be ministred vnto, but to minister, & to geue his lyfe a redempcion for many.

³⁷ But Iesus cryed with a loude voyce, and gaue vp the goost.

¹¹ I am the good shepeherd. A good shepherde geueth hys lyfe for the shepe.

¹⁵ As my father knoweth me, euen so knowe I also my father. And I geue my lyfe for the shepe:

³⁰ Assone as Iesus then receaued of the veneger, he sayde. It is fynisshed, & bowed his heed, and gaue vp the goost.

¹⁴ For as moch then as the chyldren are partetakers of flesshe and bloud, he also him selfe lykewyse toke parte with them that (thorowe deeth) he myght expell hym that had lordshyppe ouer deeth, that is to saye the deuyll,

¹⁴ how moch moare shall the bloud of Christ (which thorow the eternall sprete, offered him self without spot to God) pourge youre conscience from deed workes, for to serue the lyuinge God?

³¹ And thou shalt make a vayle of yelowe sylke, of purpull, scarlet, and whyte twyned sylke. Of broderd worke with pictures shalt thou make it. ³² And hange it vpon foure pilers of sethim wodd couerd with golde. Whose heades shalbe of golde, stondynge vpon foure sockettes of syluer. ³³ And thou shalt hange vp the vayle wyth rynges, that thou mayest bringe in (with in the vayle) the arcke of witnesse. And the vayle shall vnto you deuyde the holye from the most holy. ³⁴ And thou shalt put the mercy seate vpon the arcke of wytnesse in the holyest place. ³⁵ And thou shalt put the table without the vayle: and the candelsticke ouer agaynst the table on the south syde of the habitacyon. And put the table on the north syde. ³⁶ And thou shalt make an hangynge for the dore of the Tabernacle: of yelowe sylke purple, scarlet, and white twined sylk wroughte with nedle worke. ³⁷ And thou shalt make for the hangyng, fyue pillers of sethim wodd and couer them with golde, and theyr knoppes shalbe of golde, and thou shalt cast fyue sockettes of brasse for them.

²¹ & brought the arcke into the habitacyon, & hanged vp the vayle, & couered the arcke of witnesse, as the Lorde commaunded Moses.

² speake vnto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all tymes into the holy place wythin the vayle before the mercyseate, whych is vpon the arke, that he dye not. For I will appeare in the clowde vpon the mercyseate.

¹² And he shall take a censer full of burnynge coles out of the alter before the Lord, and shall fyll hys handfull of swete cens, beaten small, and brynge them wythyn the vayle, ¹³ and put the cens vpon the fyre before the Lorde: that the cloude of the cens maye couer the mercy seate that is vpon the wytnesse, and that he dye not. ¹⁴ And he shall take of the bloude of the bullock, and sprynkle it wyth hys fynger vpon the mercyseate eastwarde: and before the mercyseate shall he sprynkle of the bloude wyth hys fynger seuen tymes. ¹⁵ Then shall he kyll the goate that is the peoples synne offrynge, & brynge hys bloude wythin the vayle, & doo wyth that bloude, as he dyd wt the bloude of the bullock, sprynklynge it vpon the mercyseate, and before the mercyseate.

²³ Onely let him not goo in vnto the vayle, nor come nye the alter, when he is deformed, that he polute not my sanctuary, for I am the Lorde that sanctifye them.

¹⁴ And he made a fore hangyng of yelow sylke purple, cremosyne, and fyne white, and caused the pictures of Cherubs to be brodered theron.

⁷ The erth trembled & quaked, the very foundacions also of the hylles shoke & were remoued, because he was wroth.

¹⁵ The sprynges of waters were sene, & the foundacions of the round worlde were discouered at thy chydinge, O Lorde, at the blastynge of the breth of thy displeasure.

⁷ And in this mountayne shall the Lorde destroie the couering, that all people are wraped in, and the hanging that is spred vpon all nacyons.

³ For why? beholde, the Lorde shall go out of his place, & come downe, & treade vpon the hye thynges of the earth. ⁴ The mountaynes shall consume vnder him, & the valleyes shal cleue asunder: lyke as waxe consumeth at the fyre, & as the waters runne downwarde.

³ The Lord suffreth longe, he is of great power, & so innocent that he leaueth no man fautlesse before him. The Lord goeth forth in tempest & stormy wether, the cloudes are the dust of his fete. ⁴ When he reproueth the see, he dryeth it vp, & turneth all the floudes to drie lande Basan is desolate, Charmel & the pleasure of Lybanus wasteth awaye. ⁵ The mountaynes tremble for him, the hylles consume. At the sight of him, the earth quaketh: yee, the whole world, and all that dwell therin.

¹⁰ When the mountaines sawe the, they were afrayed, the water streame wente awaye: the depe made a noyse at the lyftinge vp of thyne hand.

¹³ Thou camest forth to helpe thy people, to helpe thine anointed. Thou smotest downe the head the house of the vngodly, & discoueredest hys foundacions, euen vnto the necke of him. Selah.

² And beholde, ther was a greate earthquake. For the angell of the Lord descended from heauen, & came & rowlled backe the stone from the dore, and sat vpon it.

³⁸ And the vayle of the temple dyd rent in two peces, from the toppe to the bottome.

⁴⁵ and the sonne was darckned. And the vayle of the temple dyd rent, euen thorow the myddes.

¹³ But nowe by the meanes of Christ Iesu, ye which somtyme were farre of, are made nye by the bloude of Chryst. ¹⁴ For he is oure peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken downe the wall that was a stoppe betwene vs, ¹⁵ and hath also put awaye thorowe his flesshe, the cause of hatred, euen the lawe of commaundementes contayned in the lawe wrytten, for to make of twayne one newe man in hym selfe, so makynge peace, ¹⁶ and to reconcyle both vnto God in one body thorowe the crosse, & slewe hatred therby: ¹⁷ and came, and preached peace to you which were a farre of, and to them that were nye. ¹⁸ For thorowe hym we both haue an intraunce, in one sprete vnto the father.

¹⁹ whych hope we holde as an ancre of the soule both sure and stedfast, whych hope also entreth in, into those thinges which are with in the vayle,

³ But within the seconde vayle was there a tabernacle, whych is called holyest of all,

¹⁹ Seyng therfore brethren, that by the meanes of the bloud of Iesu we haue libertye to enter into the holy place, ²⁰ by the new & lyuing waye whych he hath prepared for vs, through the vayle (that is to saye, by his flesshe.) ²¹ And seing also that we haue an hye prest whych is ruler ouer the house of God, ²² let vs draw nye wt a true herte in a sure fayth, sprynckeled in our hertes & the euyll conscience put awaye & wesshed in our bodyes wt pure water:

²⁵ Se that ye despyse not hym, that speaketh. For yf they escaped not, whych refused him that spake on erth: moch more shall we not escape, yf we turne awaye from hym, that speaketh from heauen: ²⁶ whose voyce then shoke the erth, and now hath declared sayinge: yet once more will I shake, not the erth onely, but also heauen. ²⁷ Where as he sayth: yet once more, it signifyeth the remouyng awaye of those thynges which are shaken as of thinges which haue ended their course: that the thynges which are not shaken, maye remayne.

¹³ And the same houre was ther a great erthquake, and the tenth parte of the cytye fell, and in the erthquake were slayne names of men seuen .M. and the remnaunt were feared, and gaue glory to the God of heauen.

¹⁹ And the temple of God was opened in heauen, & ther was sene in his temple, the arcke of his testament, & ther folowed lightnynges, and voyces, and thondrynges and erthquake, and moch hayle.

⁸ As for death, he hath destroyed it for euer. And the Lorde God shall wype awaye teares from all faces, and the rebuke of his people shall he take a waie out of all the earth. For so the Lorde hath sayde.

¹⁹ Thy deed men shall lyue, euen wt my body shall they rise agayne. Awake and syng ye that dwell in dust. For thy dewe is euen as the dewe of herbes, and the earth shall cast out them that be vnder her.

² Many of them that slepe in the dust of the earth, shall awake: some to the euerlastynge lyfe, some to perpetuall shame & reprofe.

¹⁴ had not I defended hym from the graue, and delyuered hym from death. O death, I will be thy death: O hell, I wyll be thy kynge.

²⁵ Uerely, verely, I saye vnto you the houre shall come, & nowe it is, when the deed shall heare the voyce of the sonne of God. And they that heare, shall lyue. ²⁶ For as the father hath lyfe in hym selfe, so lykewyse hath he geuen to the sonne to haue lyfe in hym selfe: ²⁷ and hath geuen him power also to iudge, because he is the sonne of man. ²⁸ Maruayle not at this: for the houre shal come, in that which, all that are in the graues, shall heare hys voyce, ²⁹ and shall come forth: they that haue done good, vnto the resurreccion of lyfe: and they that haue done euyll, vnto the resurreccion of damnacion.

⁶⁰ And he kneled downe & cryed with a loude voyce: Lorde, laye not thys synne to theyr charge. And when he had thus spoken, he fell a slepe.

³⁰ For this cause many are weake and sycke amonge you, and many slepe.

²⁰ But now is Christ rysen from the deed, & become the fyrst frutes of them that slept.

⁵¹ Beholde, I shewe you a mistery. We shall not all slepe: but we shall all be chaunged,

¹⁴ For yf we beleue, that Iesus dyed, & rose agayne: euen so them also which slepe by Iesus, wyll God brynge agayne wt hym.

¹⁰ whych dyed for vs: that whether we wake or slepe, we shulde lyue together wyth him.

¹ And the rulers of the people dwelt at Ierusalem. The other people also cast lottes, that amonge ten, one parte shulde go to Ierusalem into the holy cytie to dwell, and nyne partes to be in the cyties.

² which are called fremen of the holy cytie, & are grounded vpon the God of Israel, whose name is the Lord of Hostes.

²⁴ .Lxx. wekes are determed ouer thy people, and ouer the holy cytie: that the wyckednes maye be consumed, that the synne may haue an ende, that the offence maye be reconciled, and to brynge in euerlastinge ryghteousnesse, to fulfyll the visyons and the prophetes, and to anoynte the moost holy one.

⁵ Then the deuyll taketh him vp into the holy cytie, & setteth hym on a pynacle of the temple,

² & the queer which is wt in the temple, cast out & meate it not for it is geuen vnto the Gentyles, & the holy cytye shall they treade vnder fote .xlii. monethes.

² And I Iohn sawe that holy cytie, newe Ierusalem come downe from God out of heauen, prepared as a bryde garnisshed for her husband.

¹⁹ And yf eny man shall mynisshe of the wordes of the boke of this prophesy, God shall take awaye hys parte out of the boke of lyfe, and out of the holy cytie, and from the thynges which are written in this boke.

¹³ And the thirde captayne ouer fyftie went vp and came & fell on his knees before Elia and be sought him, and sayde vnto him: O man of God, let my lyfe and the lyfe of these fyftie thy seruauntes be preciouse in thy syght. ¹⁴ Beholde, there came fyre downe from heauen, and burnt vp the two fore captaynes ouer fyftie with their fyfties: therfore let my lyfe nowe be preciouse in thy syght.

⁵ And when Iesus was entred into Capernaum, ther came vnto him a Centurion, and besought him,

³⁶ And they sate and watched him there,

⁴³ He trusted in God, let him delyuer him now, yf he wyll haue him: for he sayde, I am the sonne of God.

⁷⁰ Then sayde they all: art thou then the sonne of God? He sayd: ye saye that I am.

⁴⁷ When the Centuryon sawe what had happened, he gloryfyed God sayinge. Uerely, this was a righteous man. ⁴⁸ And all the people that came together to that syght, & sawe the thynges whych had happened, smote theyr brestes, and returned. ⁴⁹ And all hys acquayntaunce and the wemen that folowed hym from Galile, stode a farre of, beholdynge these thynges.

³⁷ When they hearde this, they were pricked in their hertes, and sayd vnto Peter, & vnto the other Apostles: Ye men & brethren what shall we do?

²⁹ Then he called for a lyght and sprange in and ran tremblynge vnto Paul, and fell downe at the fete of Paul & Sylas, ³⁰ and brought them out, & sayde: Syrs what must I do to be saued?

³² Which immediatly toke soudiers and vndercaptaynes, and ranne downe vnto them. When they sawe the vpper captayne and the soudiers: they lefte smytinge of Paul.

¹⁷ And Paul called one of the vnder captaynes vnto him and sayde: brynge thys younge man vnto the hye captayne: for he hath a certayne thynge to shewe hym.

²³ And he called vnto hym two vnder captaynes sayinge: make ready two hundred soudiers to go to Cesarea, and horssmen threscore, and ten: and speare men two hundred, at the thyrde houre of the nyghte.

⁴³ But the vndercaptayne wyllinge to saue Paul, kept them from theyr purpose, and commaunded that they whych coulde swymme, shulde cast them selues fyrst into the see, and scape to lande.

⁴ and hath bene declared to be the sonne of God wt power, after the sprete that sanctifyeth, sence the tyme that Iesus Chryst oure Lorde rose agayne from deeth

² And also certayne women, which were healed of euell spretes, and infirmytes. Mary which is called Magdalen (oute of whom wente seuen deuyls) ³ and Ioanna the wyfe of Chusa. Herodes stewarde, and Susanna, and many other, which minystred vnto hym of theyr substaunce.

²⁷ And there folowed hym a greate company of people, and of wemen whych bewayled and lamented hym. ²⁸ But Iesus turned backe vnto them, and sayd: Ye daughters of Ierusalem, wepe not for me: but wepe for youre selues, and for youre chyldren.

²⁵ There stode by the crosse of Iesus hys mother, and his mothers syster, Mary the wyfe of Cleophas, & Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ When Iesus therfore sawe his mother, & the disciple stondinge whom he loued, he sayeth vnto his mother: woman: beholde thy sonne. ²⁷ Then sayde he to the disciple: beholde thy mother. And from that houre the disciple toke her for hys awne.

⁵⁵ is not this the carpenters sonne? Is not hys mother called Mary? and hys brethren, Iames and Ioses and Simon and Iudas?

²⁰ Then came to him the mother of Zebedes chyldren, wt her sonnes, worshyppyng him & desyryng a certaine thynge of him. ²¹ And he sayeth vnto her, what wilt thou? She sayde vnto him: Graunte, that these my two sonnes may syt, the one on thy ryght hande, and the other on the lefte, in thy kyngdome.

⁶¹ And there was Mary Magdalene and the other Mary syttynge ouer agaynste the sepulcre.

¹ Vpon an euening of the Sabbothes, whych dawneth the fyrst daye of the Sabbathes, came Mary Magdalene & the other Mary, to se the sepulcre.

⁴⁰ Ther were also wemen a good waye of, beholdinge him: amonge whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of Iames the lytle: & of Ioses, & Mary Salome ⁴¹ (which also when he was in Galile had folowed him & mynistred vnto him) and many other wemen, whych came vp with him vnto Ierusalem.

⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalen and Mary Ioses behelde where he was layde.

⁹ When Iesus was rysen early the fyrst daye after the Sabboth he appeared fyrst to Mary Magdalen, out of whom he had cast seuen deuyls.

¹⁰ It was Mary Magdalen, & Ioanna, and Mary Iacobi, and other that were wyth them, whych tolde these thynges vnto the Apostles.

²⁵ There stode by the crosse of Iesus hys mother, and his mothers syster, Mary the wyfe of Cleophas, & Mary Magdalene.

¹ The fyrst daye of the Sabbothes cam Mary Magdalene early (when it was yet darcke) vnto the sepulchre, and sawe the stone taken awaye from the graue.

¹⁸ Mary Magdalene came & tolde the disciples, that she had sene the Lorde, and that he had spoken soch thinges vnto her.

¹ There was a man of one of the two Ramaths (of the kinred of Zophim, of mount Ephraim) named Elkana the sonne of Ieroham the sonne of Elihu, the sonne of Thohu, the sonne of Zuph, an Ephrathite:

¹⁷ & came agayne to Rama: for there was his house, & ther he iudged Israel also, & there he buylt an aulter vnto the Lorde.

⁴² And now when the euen was come (because it was the daye of preparing that goeth before the Sabboth) ⁴³ Ioseph of the cite of Aramathia, a noble Councellour which also loked for the kyngdome of God, came, & went in boldely vnto Pilate, & begged of hym the body of Iesu. ⁴⁴ And Pilate merueled, that he was alredy deed, and called vnto him the Centurion, and asked of him, whether he had bene eny whyle deed. ⁴⁵ And when he knewe the trueth of the Centurion, he gaue the body to Ioseph. ⁴⁶ And he bought a lynnen clothe, and toke him downe, and wrapped him in the lynnen clothe, and layde him in a sepulcre, that was hewen out of the rocke. ⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalen and Mary Ioses behelde where he was layde.

⁵⁰ And beholde ther was a man (named Ioseph) a councellour, and he was a good man and a iuste: ⁵¹ the same had not consented to the counsell & dede of them, whych was of Aramathia, a cytie of the Iewes, whych same also wayted for the kyngdome of God: ⁵² he went vnto Pylate, and begged the boddy of Iesus, ⁵³ and toke it downe and wrapped it in a lynnen clooth, and layed it in a sepulchre that was hewen in stone, wherin neuer man before was layed. ⁵⁴ And that daye was the preparyng of the Sabboth, and the Sabboth drue on. ⁵⁵ The wemen that folowed after, whych had come wyth hym from Galile, behelde the sepulcre, and how his body was layed. ⁵⁶ And they returned and prepared swete odoures and oyntmentes: but rested the Sabboth daye, accordynge to the commaundement.

³⁸ After this, Ioseph of Aramathia (which was a disciple of Iesus: but secretly for feare of the Iewes) besought Pilate, that he might take downe the body of Iesus. And Pilate gaue him licence. ³⁹ And ther cam also Nicodemus (which at the begynnynge came to Iesus by night) & brought of myrre and aloes mingled together, aboute an hundred pounde wayght. ⁴⁰ Then toke they the body of Iesu, & wounde it in lynnen clothes wt the odoures, as the maner of the Iewes is to bury. ⁴¹ And in the place where he was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a newe sepulchre, wherin was neuer man layd. ⁴² There layde they Iesus therfore, because of the preparinge of the Sabboth of the Iewes for the sepulchre was nye at hande.

⁴⁴ And Pilate merueled, that he was alredy deed, and called vnto him the Centurion, and asked of him, whether he had bene eny whyle deed. ⁴⁵ And when he knewe the trueth of the Centurion, he gaue the body to Ioseph. ⁴⁶ And he bought a lynnen clothe, and toke him downe, and wrapped him in the lynnen clothe, and layde him in a sepulcre, that was hewen out of the rocke.

⁵² he went vnto Pylate, and begged the boddy of Iesus, ⁵³ and toke it downe and wrapped it in a lynnen clooth, and layed it in a sepulchre that was hewen in stone, wherin neuer man before was layed.

⁹ Hys graue was geuen hym wyth the condemned, and wyth the ryche man at hys deeth. Where as he dyd neuer violence ner vnryght, nether hath there bene eny disceatfulnesse in hys mouth.

⁶⁶ So they went, and made the sepulcre sure with watche men, and sealed the stone.

³ And they sayd among them selues: who shall rolle vs awaye the stone from the dore of the sepulchre? ⁴ And when they loked, they sawe how that the stone was rolled awaye, for it was a very greate one.

² And they founde the stone rowled awaye from the sepulcre,

⁵⁶ Amonge which was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of Iames and Ioses, and the mother of Zebedes chyldren.

¹ Why do the Heythen so furiouslye rage together? and why do the people ymagyne a vayne thynge? ² The kynges of the erth stande vp, and the rulers take councell together agaynst the Lorde, and agaynst hys anoynted. ³ Let vs breake theyr bondes asunder, and cast awaye theyr coardes from vs. ⁴ He that dwelleth in heauen shall laugh them to scorne: the Lorde shall haue them in derisyon. ⁵ Then shall he speake vnto them in hys wrath, and vexe them in hys sore displeasure. ⁶ Yet haue I set my kynge vpon my holy hyll of Syon.

¹⁷ The fyrst daye of swete breed, the disciples came to Iesus, sayinge vnto him: where wilt thou that we prepare for the, to eate the passeouer?

¹ When the mornynge was come, all the chefe prestes and the elders of the people helde a counsayle agaynst Iesus, to put him to deeth, ² and brought him bounde and delyuered him vnto Poncius Pylate the debite.

⁴² And now when the euen was come (because it was the daye of preparing that goeth before the Sabboth)

¹⁴ It was the preparyng daye of the easter, aboute the syxte houre. And he sayeth vnto the Iewes: beholde youre king?

³¹ The Iewes therfore because it was the preparing of the Sabboth, that the bodyes shuld not remayne vpon the crosse on the sabboth daye (for that sabboth daye was an hye daye) besought Pilate, that their legges might be broken and that they might be taken downe.

⁴² There layde they Iesus therfore, because of the preparinge of the Sabboth of the Iewes for the sepulchre was nye at hande.

²¹ From that tyme forth beganne Iesus to shewe vnto his disciples, how that he must go vnto Ierusalem, & suffer many thinges of the elders, & hye Prestes, & Scribes, & must be kylled, and be raysed agayne the thyrde daye.

²³ and they shall kyll him and the thyrd daye shall he ryse agayne. And they were exceadyng sorye.

³¹ And he beganne to teach them how that the sonne of man must suffre many thinges, and be reproued of the elders, and of the hye prestes, and scribes, and be kylled, & after thre dayes aryse agayne.

²² saying: the sonne of man must suffre many thinges, and be reproued of the elders, and of the hye prestes, and scribes, and be slayne, and ryse agayne the thyrd daye.

³³ & when they haue scourged him, they wyll put hym to deeth, and the thyrd daye he shall aryse agayne.

² And they beganne to accuse him, sayinge: we founde thys felowe peruertinge the people, and forbyddynge to paye tribute to Cesar: sayinge, that he is Chryst a kynge.

⁶ He is not here: but is rysen. Remember, how he spake vnto you, when he was yet in Galile, ⁷ sayinge: that the sonne of man must be delyuered into the handes of synfull men, and be crucyfyed, and the thyrde daye ryse agayne.

¹⁹ Iesus answered & sayde vnto them: destroye thys temple, and in thre dayes I wyll reare it vp.

¹² And moch murmuringe was ther of him amonge the people. For some sayde: He is good, other sayde naye, but he deceaueth the people.

⁴⁷ Then answered them the Pharises: are ye also disceaued?

⁸ be honoure and dishonoure: be euyll reporte & good reporte: as desceauers, and yet true,

⁴⁵ Then goeth he, and taketh vnto him seuen other spretes worse then him selfe, and so entreth he in, and dwelleth there. And the ende of that man is worse then the begynning. Euen so shall it be also, vnto this froward generacion.

¹³ saying: Saye ye, that his disciples came by nyght & stole hym awaye whyle ye slept.

¹⁰ The fearcenesse of man shall turne to thy prayse: and the fearcenesse of other shalt thou refrayne.

³⁰ There is no wisdome, there is no vnderstandynge, there is no councell agaynst the Lorde.

¹¹ When they were gone, behold, some of the kepers came into the cytie & shewed vnto the hye prestes, all the thinges that had happened. ¹² And they gathered them together with the elders, & toke counsell, & gaue large money vnto the soudiers, ¹³ saying: Saye ye, that his disciples came by nyght & stole hym awaye whyle ye slept. ¹⁴ And yf this come to the rulers eares, we will persuade him, and saue you harmeles. ¹⁵ So they toke the money, & dyd as they were taught. And this sayinge is noysed amonge the Iewes vnto this daye.

¹⁷ And there was brought a stone, and layed vpon the hole of the denne: this the kyng sealed with his awne rynge, and with the sygnet of hys prynces: that the kynges commaundement concernynge Daniel, shulde not be broken.

⁶⁰ and layed it in hys newe tombe, whych he had hewen out, euen in the rocke, and rolled a greate stone to the dore of the sepulcre & departed.

¹¹ When they were gone, behold, some of the kepers came into the cytie & shewed vnto the hye prestes, all the thinges that had happened.

¹⁹ But the sure grounde of God standeth still, and hath this seale: the Lorde knoweth them that are hys. And let euery man that calleth on the name of Christ, departe from iniquite.
