61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. 62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? 72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man. 73 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. 74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. 75 And Peter remembered the word 63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou of Jesus, which said unto him, Before be the Christ, the Son of God. the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept 64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, bitterly. Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, CHAPTER XXVII. and coming in the clouds of heaven.' WHEN the morning was come, 65 Then the high priest rent his all the chief priests and elders of the clothes, saying, He hath spoken blas-people took counsel against Jesus to phemy; what further need have we put him to death: of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. 66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death. 67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, 68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee? 69 ¶ Now Peter sat without in the palace and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. : 70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. 71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth. 2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. 3 Then 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, 4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. 5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 6 And 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. 7 And they took counsel, and bought 62-63 S* om.

And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. 12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. 24 ¶ When Pilate saw that he could 13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hear-prevail nothing, but that rather a tuest thou not how many things they mult was made, he took water, and witness against thee? washed his hands before the multi 14 And he answered him to never tude, saying, I am innocent of the a word; insomuch that the governor blood of this just person: see ye to it. marvelled greatly. 25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. 15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would. 16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. 17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? 18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. 19 ¶ When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with him 26¶ Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. 27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. 28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 29 ¶ And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, 9 S* And that was fulfilled which; S And I took 10 S and I gave II SV om. unto 15 S* they asked 22 SVA om. unto him 23 SV And he said 24 V om. just; S* and mocked him, saying, Hail, King Son of God, come down from the of the Jews! 33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, 34¶ They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. 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 upon my vesture did they cast lots. 36 And sitting down they watched him there; 37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. cross. 41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, 42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. 44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. 45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. 46 And 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? 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 took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. 49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him. 50 ¶ Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 39 T And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, 40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three 51 And, behold, the veil of the days, save thyself.
