put him to death:
And when they had bound him,
they led him away, and delivered MN
to Pontius Plate the governor.
Then Judas, which had betrayed
him. when he saw that he. was con-
demned. repented himself, and brought
again the thirty pieces of silver TO
the chief priests and elders,
Saving, | have sinned i'll that
have betrayed the innocent blood. And
thew said, What is that to us! see
thou to that.
And he cast down the pieces OF
silver in the temple, and departed, and
went and hanged himself.
And the chief priests took the
silver in the temple, and departed,
and said, 1t is not lawful for to put
them into the treasury, because 1t Is
the price of blood.
Z and they took counsel, and
bought with them the potter's held,
to bury strangers IN.
s Wherefore that field was called,
The field of blood, unto this day.
9 Then 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 chill
dren of Israel did value;
10 And gave them for the potter's
field, as the Lord appointed me.
II And Jesus stood before the gov
ernor: and the governor asked him,
saying, Art thou the King of the
Jews? And Jesus said unto him,
Thou sayest.
- And when he was accused OF
the chief priests and elders, he an
swered nothing.
13 Then said Plate unto him, Hear
est thou not how many things they
witness against thee?
If And he answered him to never
word; insOmuch that the governor
marvelled greatly.
Is Now at that feast the governor
was wont to release unto the people
prisoner, whom 5acy would.
16 And they had then notable
prisoner, called Barabbas.
II Therefore when they were
gathered together, PLATE said unto
them, Whom will We that / release
unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is
called Christi
Is For he knew that for envy they
had delivered him.
10 When he was set down on the
judgement seat, his wife sent unto
him, saying, have thou nothing to do
with that just man: for | have suf-
fered many things this day in dream
because of him.
20 But the chief priests and elders
persuaded the multitude that they
should ask Barabbas, and destroy
Jesus.
81 The governor answered and said
unto them, Whether of the twain VIII
ye that | release unto you? They said,
Barabbas.
% Plate saith unto them, What
shall | do then with Jesus which is
called Christ? They all say unto him,
L ct him be cruciied.
% And the governor said, Why,
what evil hath he done? But they
cried out the more, saying, Let him
be crucified.
u When Plate saw that he could
prevail nothing, but that rather
tumuIt was made, he took water and
washed his hands before the multi
tude, saying, | am innocent OF the
blood of this just person: see We to
it.
- Then answered all the people,
and said, His blood be on us, and on
our children.
% Then released he Barabbas I'M
TO them: and when he had scOurged
Jesus, he delivered him to be cruel
fed.
u Then the soldiers of the COVER
nor took Jesus into the common hail.
and gathered unto him the whole
band of soldiers.
Is And they stripped him, and put
on him a scarlet robe.
% And when they had plated
crown of thorns, they put it upon ms
head, and a reed in his right hand;
and they bowed the knee before him.
and Knocked him, saying, Hail King OF
the Jews,
so And they spit upon him, and
took the reed, and smote him on the
head.
81 And after that they had Knocked
him, they took the robe off from him
ana put his own raimcnt on him, and
led him away to cruelty him.
81 And as they came out, they
found man of Cyrene. Simon by
name: him they compelled to bear his
