 nd the whole multitude of them arose, and led him vnto Pilate. |
|
| 23:2 |
And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow peruerting the nation, and forbidding to giue tribute to Cesar, saying, that he himselfe is Christ a king. |
|
| 23:3 |
And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the king of the Iewes? And he answered him, & said, Thou sayest it. |
|
| 23:4 |
Then saide Pilate to the chiefe Priests, and to the people, I finde no fault in this man. |
|
| 23:5 |
And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth vp the people, teaching thorowout all Iurie, beginning from Galilee to this place. |
|
| 23:6 |
When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilean. |
|
| 23:7 |
And assoone as he knew that hee belonged vnto Herods iurisdiction, hee sent him to Herode, who himselfe also was at Hierusalem at that time. |
|
| 23:8 |
And when Herode saw Iesus, he was exceeding glad, for hee was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him, and hee hoped to haue seene some miracle done by him. |
|
| 23:9 |
Then he questioned with him in many words, but he answered him nothing. |
|
| 23:10 |
And the chiefe Priests and Scribes stood, and vehemently accused him. |
|
| 23:11 |
And Herod with his men of warre set him at naught, and mocked him, and arayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him againe to Pilate. |
|
| 23:12 |
And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together; for before, they were at enmitie betweene themselues. |
|
| 23:13 |
And Pilate, when hee had called together the chiefe Priests, and the rulers, and the people, |
|
| 23:14 |
Said vnto them, Ye haue brought this man vnto me, as one that peruerteth the people, and behold, I hauing examined him before you, haue found no fault in this man, touching those things whereof ye accuse him. |
|
| 23:15 |
No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him, and loe, nothing worthy of death is done vnto him. |
|
| 23:16 |
I will therefore chastise him, and release him. |
|
| 23:17 |
For of necessitie hee must release one vnto them at the Feast. |
|
| 23:18 |
And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release vnto vs Barabbas, |
|
| 23:19 |
Who for a certaine sedition made in the citie, and for murder, was cast in prison. |
|
| 23:20 |
Pilate therefore willing to release Iesus, spake againe to them: |
|
| 23:21 |
But they cried, saying, Crucifie him, crucifie him. |
|
| 23:22 |
And hee said vnto them the third time, Why, what euill hath he done? I haue found no cause of death in him, I will therefore chastise him, & let him goe. |
|
| 23:23 |
And they were instant with loud voyces, requiring that he might be crucified: and the voyces of them, and of the chiefe Priests preuailed. |
|
| 23:24 |
And Pilate gaue sentence that it should be as they required. |
 |
| 23:25 |
And he released vnto them, him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired, but he deliuered Iesus to their will. |
|
| 23:26 |
And as they led him away, they laid hold vpon one Simon a Cyrenian, comming out of the countrey, and on him they laid the crosse, that hee might beare it after Iesus. |
|
| 23:27 |
And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed & lamented him. |
|
| 23:28 |
But Iesus turning vnto them, said, Daughters of Hierusalem, weepe not for me, but weepe for your selues, and for your children. |
|
| 23:29 |
For beholde, the dayes are comming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that neuer bare, and the paps which neuer gaue sucke. |
|
| 23:30 |
Then shall they begin to say to the mountaines, Fall on vs, and to the hils, Couer vs. |
|
| 23:31 |
For if they doe these things in a green tree, what shalbe done in the drie? |
|
| 23:32 |
And there were also two other malefactors led with him, to bee put to death. |
|
| 23:33 |
And when they were come to the place which is called Caluarie, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. |
|
| 23:34 |
Then said Iesus, Father, forgiue them, for they know not what they doe: And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. |
|
| 23:35 |
And the people stood beholding, & the rulers also with them derided him, saying, Hee saued others, let him saue himselfe, if he be Christ, ye chosen of God. |
|
| 23:36 |
And the souldiers also mocked him, comming to him, and offering him vineger, |
|
| 23:37 |
And saying, If thou be the king of the Iewes, saue thy selfe. |
|
| 23:38 |
And a superscription also was written ouer him in letters of Greeke, and Latin, & Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE IEWES. |
|
| 23:39 |
And one of ye malefactors, which were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, saue thy selfe and vs. |
|
| 23:40 |
But the other answering, rebuked him, saying, Doest not thou feare God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? |
|
| 23:41 |
And we indeed iustly; for we receiue the due reward of our deeds, but this man hath done nothing amisse. |
|
| 23:42 |
And he said vnto Iesus, Lord, remember me when thou commest into thy kingdome. |
|
| 23:43 |
And Iesus said vnto him, Uerily, I say vnto thee, to day shalt thou be with me in Paradise. |
|
| 23:44 |
And it was about the sixt houre, and there was a darkenesse ouer all the earth, vntill the ninth houre. |
|
| 23:45 |
And the Sunne was darkened, and the vaile of the temple was rent in the mids. |
|
| 23:46 |
And when Iesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: And hauing said thus, he gaue vp the ghost. |
|
| 23:47 |
Now when the Centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. |
|
| 23:48 |
And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. |
|
| 23:49 |
And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood a farre off, beholding these things. |
|
| 23:50 |
And behold, there was a man named Ioseph, a counseller, and hee was a good man, and a iust. |
|
| 23:51 |
(The same had not consented to the counsell and deede of them) he was of Arimathea, a city of the Iewes (who also himselfe waited for the kingdome of God.) |
|
| 23:52 |
This man went vnto Pilate, and begged the body of Iesus. |
|
| 23:53 |
And he tooke it downe, and wrapped it in linnen, and layd it in a Sepulchre that was hewen in stone, wherein neuer man before was layd. |
|
| 23:54 |
And that day was the Preparation, and the Sabbath drew on. |
|
| 23:55 |
And the women also which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the Sepulchre, and how his body was layd. |
|
| 23:56 |
And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments, and rested the Sabbath day, according to the commandement. |
