1Vvhen the morning was come, all the chiefe Priests, and the elders of the people tooke counsell against Iesus, to put him to death, 2And led him away bounde, and deliuered him vnto Pontius Pilate the gouernour. 3Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4Saying, I haue sinned, betraying the innocent bloud. But they sayde, What is that to vs? see thou to it. 5And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 6And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. 7And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 8Wherefore that field is called, The field of bloud, vntill this day. 9Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; 10And they gaue them for the potters fielde, as the Lord appointed me.) 11And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. 12And when he was accused of the chiefe Priestes, and Elders, he answered nothing. 13Then saide Pilate vnto him, Hearest thou not howe many things they lay against thee? 14But he answered him not to one worde, in so much that the gouernour marueiled greatly. 15Now at [that] feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would. 16And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. 17When they were then gathered together, Pilate said vnto the, Whether will ye that I let loose vnto you Barabbas, or Iesus which is called Christ? 18(For he knewe well, that for enuie they had deliuered him. 19Also when he was set downe vpon the iudgement seate, his wife sent to him, saying, Haue thou nothing to do with that iust man: for I haue suffered many things this day in a dreame by reason of him.) 20But the chiefe Priestes and the Elders had persuaded the people that they shoulde aske Barabbas, and should destroy Iesus. 21Then the gouernour answered, and said vnto them, Whether of the twaine will ye that I let loose vnto you? And they said, Barabbas. 22Pilate said vnto them, What shal I do then with Iesus, which is called Christ? They all said to him, Let him be crucified. 23Then saide the gouernour, But what euill hath he done? Then they cryed the more, saying, Let him be crucified. 24When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but [that] rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed [his] hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye [to it]. 25Then answered all the people, and said, His blood [be] on us, and on our children. 26Thus let he Barabbas loose vnto them, and scourged Iesus, and deliuered him to be crucified. 27Then the souldiers of the gouernour tooke Iesus into the common hall, and gathered about him the whole band, 28And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 29And platted a crowne of thornes, and put it vpon his head, and a reede in his right hand, and bowed their knees before him, and mocked him, saying, God saue thee King of the Iewes, 30And spitted vpon him, and tooke a reede, and smote him on the head. 31Thus when they had mocked him, they tooke the robe from him, and put his owne rayment on him, and led him away to crucifie him. 32And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. 33And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, 34They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted [thereof], he would not drink. 35And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. 36And they sate, and watched him there. 37And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 38Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. 39And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, 40And saying, Thou that destroyest ye Temple, & buildest it in three dayes, saue thy selfe: if thou be ye Sonne of God, come downe fro ye crosse. 41Likewise also the hie Priests mocking him, with the Scribes, and Elders, and Pharises, said, 42He saued others, but he cannot saue him selfe: if he be ye King of Israel, let him now come downe from ye crosse, and we will beleeue in him. 43He trusted in God, let him deliuer him nowe, if he will haue him: for he saide, I am the Sonne of God. 44The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. 45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. 46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 47Some of them that stood there, when they heard [that], said, This [man] calleth for Elias. 48And straightway one of them ran, & tooke a spondge, and filled it with vineger, and put it on a reede, and gaue him to drinke. 49Other said, Let be: let vs see, if Elias wil come and saue him. 50Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53And came out of the graues after his resurrection, and went into the holy citie, and appeared vnto many. 54When the Centurion, and they that were with him watching Iesus, saw the earthquake, and the thinges that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truely this was the Sonne of God. 55And many women were there, beholding him a farre off, which had folowed Iesus from Galile, ministring vnto him. 56Among whom was Marie Magdalene, and Marie the mother of Iames, & Ioses, and the mother of Zebedeus sonnes. 57When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: 58He went to Pilate, & asked ye body of Iesus. Then Pilate commanded ye body to be deliuered. 59So Ioseph tooke the body, and wrapped it in a cleane linnen cloth, 60And put it in his new tombe, which he had hewen out in a rocke, and rolled a great stone to the doore of the sepulchre, and departed. 61And there was Marie Magdalene, and the other Marie sitting ouer against the sepulchre. 62Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, 63And said, Syr, we remember that that deceiuer saide, while he was yet aliue, Within three dayes I will rise. 64Command therefore, that the sepulchre be made sure vntill the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steale him away, and say vnto the people, He is risen from the dead: so shall the last errour be worse then the first. 65Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make [it] as sure as ye can. 66And they went, and made the sepulchre sure with the watch, and sealed the stone.
