Chap. XXIII.

 

HOLY weeke.

The Jewes accuse him to Pilate the Gentil: 4. who seeking earnestly to deliver him, specially after that Herod sent him back, 17. they not only preferre the murderer Barabbas, but also crie, Crucifige: 26. In the way to Calvarie he foretelleth the women that lamented upon him, the horrible destruction of their Hierusalem. 32. Upon the crosse he is between two theeves, 35. scorned of the Jewes, 36. of the souldiares, 39. and of one of the theeves, 40. but even there confessed of the other theefe, 44. and after his death (because of the great miracles concurring) also of the Centurion, 48. yea and of the whole multitude. 50. And finally he is buried honourably.

 

GOOD friday.Mt. 27, 1. 11. Mr. 15, 1. Jo. 18, 17.AND al the multitude of them rising up, led him to Pilate. ²And they began to accuse him, saying: We have found this man subverting our Nation, and prohibiting to give tributes to Cæsar, and saying that he is Christ the King. ³And Pilate asked him, saying: Art thou the King of the Jewes? But he answering said: Thou sayest. ⁴And Pilate said to the cheefe Priests and multitudes: I find no cause in this man. ⁵But they were more earnest, saying: He stirreth the people teaching throughout al Jewrie, beginning from Galilee even hither. ⁶But Pilate hearing Galilee, asked if the man were of Galilee. ⁷And when he understood that he was of Herods jurisdiction, he sent him backe to Herod, who was also himself at Hierusalem in those dayes.

⁸And Herod seeing Jesus, was very glad, for he was desirous of a long time to see him, for because he heard many things of him: and he hoped to see some signe wrought by him. ⁹And he asked him in many wordes. But he answered him nothing. ¹⁰And there stoode the cheefe Priests and the Scribes constantly accusing him. ¹¹And Herod with his armie set him at naught: and he mocked him, putting on him a white garment, and sent him back to Pilate. ¹²And Herod and Pilate were made freindes that day. For before they were enemies one to another.

¹³And Pilate calling together the cheefe Priests and Magistrates, and the people, ¹⁴said to them: You have presented unto me this man, as averting the People, and behold I examining him before you, have found no cause in this man of those things, wherein you accuse him. ¹⁵No, nor Herod neither. For I sent you to him, and behold, nothing worthie of death is done to him. ¹⁶I wil chasten him therfore and dimisse him.

¹⁷And he of necessitie had to release unto them upon the feast day, one. ¹⁸But the whole multitude together cried out, saying: Dispatch him, and release us Barabbas. ¹⁹Who was for a certaine sedition made in the citie and murder, cast into prison. ²⁰And Pilate againe spake to them, desirous to release Jesus. ²¹But they cried againe, saying: Crucifie, crucifie him. ²²And he the third time said to them: Why, what evil hath this man done? I find no cause of death in him. I wil correct him therfore and let him goe. ²³But they were instant with loud voices
