doers led with him to be slaine And after that thei were come to the place whiche is called Caluarie there they crucified hym and the euill doers one on the right hand and the other on the left Then sayd Iesus father forgeue them for they wote not what they do And they parted his rayment and cast lottes And the people stoode and behelde And the rulers mocked hym with them saying he saued other
