CHAP. XXVII.
1 Christ is deliuered bound to Pilate. 3 Iudas hangeth himselfe. 19 Pilate admonished of his wise, 24 washeth his hands: 26 and looseth Barabbas. 29 Christ is crowned with thornes, 34 crucified, 40 reuiled, 50 dieth, and is buried: 66 his Sepulchre is sealed, and watched.
1 When the morning was come, all the chiefe Priests and Elders of the people, tooke counsell against Iesus to put him to death.1
2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and deliuered him to Pontius Pilate the gouernour.
5 And hee cast downe the pieces of siluer in the Temple, and departed, and went and hanged himselfe.5
7 And they tooke counsell, and bought with them the potters field, to burie strangers in.
8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood vnto this day.8
9 (Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Ieremie the Prophet, saying, And they tooke the thirtie pieces of siluer, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value:9
10 And gaue them for the potters field, as the Lord appointed me.)
12 And when hee was accused of the chiefe Priests and Elders, he answered nothing.
13 Then saith Pilate vnto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witnesse against thee?
14 And he answered him to neuer a word: insomuch that the Gouernour marueiled greatly.
15 Now at that feast the Gouernor was woont to release vnto the people a prisoner, whom they would.15
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
18 For hee knew that for enuie they had deliuered him.
20 But the chiefe Priestes and Elders perswaded the multitude that they should aske Barabbas, & destroy Iesus.20
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on vs, and on our children.
27 Then the souldiers of the Gouernour tooke Iesus into the common hall, and gathered vnto him the whole band of souldiers.27
28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
30 And they spit vpon him, and tooke the reed, and smote him on the head.
32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to beare his Crosse.32
33 And when they were come vnto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,33
35 And 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 vpon my vesture did they cast lots.35
36 And sitting downe, they watched him there:
37 And set vp ouer his head, his accusation written, THIS IS IESVS THE KING OF THE IEWES.
38 Then were there two theeues crucified with him: one on the right hand, and another on the left.
39 ¶ And they that passed by, reuiled him, wagging their heads,
41 Likewise also the chiefe Priests mocking him, with the Scribes and Elders, said,
43 He trusted in God, let him deliuer him now if hee will haue him: for he said, I am the Sonne of God.43
44 The thieues also which were crucified with him, cast þe same in his teeth.
45 Now from the sixth houre there was darkenesse ouer all the land vnto the ninth houre.
46 And about the ninth houre, Iesus cried with a loud voyce, saying, Eli, Eli, Lamasabachthani, that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken mee?46
47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
48 And straightway one of them ran, and tooke a spunge, and filled it with vineger, and put it on a reede, and gaue him to drinke.48
49 The rest said, Let bee, let vs see whether Elias will come to saue him.
50 ¶ Iesus, when hee had cried againe with a loud voice, yeelded vp the ghost.
52 And the graues were opened, and many bodies of Saints which slept, arose,
57 When the Euen was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Ioseph, who also himselfe was Iesus disciple:57
58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Iesus: then Pilate commanded the body to be deliuered.
59 And when Ioseph had taken the body, hee wrapped it in a cleane linnen cloth,
61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting ouer against the sepulchre.
65 Pilate said vnto them, Yee haue a watch, goe your way, make it as sure as you can.
66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
