them arose Luk. 23.1 and led him vnto Pilate And they began to accuse him saying We found this fellow peruerting the people and forbidding to pay tribute to Cesar saying that hee is Christ a King And Pilate apposed him saying Art thou the King of the Iewes Hee answered him and sayd Thou sayest it Then said Pilate to the hie Priests and to the people I finde no fault in this man And they were the more fierce saying He mooueth the people teaching thorowout all Iurie and began at Galilee euen to this place When Pilate heard mention of Galilee hee asked whether the man were of Galilee And assoone as he knew that hee belonged vnto Herods Iurisdiction he sent him to Herode which was also at Hierusalem at that time And when Herode sawe Iesus hee was exceeding glad for hee was desirous to see him of a long season because hee had heard many things of him and he trusted to haue seene some miracles done by him Then he questioned with him many words but he answered him nothing The high Priests and Scribes stood foorth and accused him straitly And Herode with his men of warre despised him And when hee had mocked him hee arayed him in white clothing and sent him againe to Pilate And the same day Pilate and Herode were made friendes together for before they were at variance And Pilate called together the high Priests and the Rulers and the people and sayde vnto them Yee haue brought this man vnto me as one that peruerteth the people and beholde I examine him before you and finde no fault in this man of those things whereof yee accuse him no nor yet Herode For I sent you vnto him and loe nothing worthie of death is done vnto him I will therefore chasten him and let him loose For of necessitie hee must haue let one loose to them at that feast And all the people cried at once saying Away with him and deliuer vs Barabbas which for a certain insurrection made in the city and for a murder was cast into prison Pilate spake againe vnto them willing to let Iesus loose But they cried saying Crucifie him crucifie him Hee sayde vnto them the third time What euill hath hee done I finde no cause of death in him I will therefore chasten him and let him goe And they cried with loud voyces requiring that he might be crucified And the voyces of them and of the high Priestes preuailed And Pilate gaue sentence that it should bee as they required and hee let loose vnto them him that for insurrection and murder was cast into prison whom they had desired And hee deliuered to them Iesus to doe with him what they would And as they led him away they caught one Simon of Cyrene comming out of the fielde and on him layed they the Crosse that hee might beare it after Iesus And there followed him a great companie of people and of women which bewailed and lamented him But Iesus turned backe vnto them and sayde Yee daughters of Hierusalem weepe not for me but weepe for your selues and for your children For behold the dayes will come in the which they shall say Happie are the barren and the wombes that neuer bare and the pappes which neuer gaue sucke Then shall they begin to say to the mountaines Fall on vs and to the hils Couer vs. For if they doe this in a greene tree what shal be done in the drie And there were two euil doers led with him to bee slaine And after that they were come to the place which is called Caluarie there they crucified him and the euill doers one on the right hand and the other on the left Then said Iesus Father forgiue them for they wot not what they doe And they parted his rayment and cast lots and the people stoode and beheld And the Rulers mocked him with them saying He saued other men let him saue himselfe if he be verie Christ the chosen of God The souldiers also mocked him and came and offered him vineger and said If thou bee the King of the Iewes saue thy selfe And a superscription was written ouer him with letters of Greeke and Latine and Hebrewe This is the King of the Iewes And one of the euill doers which were hanged rayled on him saying If thou bee Christ saue thy selfe and vs. But the other answered and rebuked him saying Fearest not thou GOD seeing thou art in the same damnation Wee are righteously punished for wee receiue according to our deedes but this man hath done nothing amisse And hee said vnto Iesus Lord remember mee when thou commest into thy kingdome And Iesus sayde vnto him Verily I say vnto thee to day shalt thou be with mee in Paradise And it was about the sixt houre and there was a darkenesse ouer all the earth vntill the ninth houre and the Sunne was darkened and the vaile of the Temple did rent euen through the middes And when Iesus had cryed with a lowde voyce hee said Father into thy hands I commend my spirit And when he thus had said hee gaue vp the ghost When the Centurion sawe what had happened hee glorified God saying Verily this was a righteous man And all the people that came together to that sight and sawe the things which had happened smote their breasts and returned And all his acquaintance and the women that follwed him from Galilee stood a farre off beholding these things And behold there was a man named Ioseph a counsailor and he was a good man and a iust the same had not consented to the counsaile and deed of them which was of Arimathea a citie of the Iewes which same also waited for the kingdome of God he went vnto Pilate and begged the body of Iesus and tooke it downe and wrapped it in a linnen cloth and laide it in a Sepulchre that was hewen in stone wherein neuer man before had beene laid And that day was the preparing of the Sabboth and the Sabboth drew on The women that followed after which had come with him from Galilee beheld the sepulchre and how his body was laid And they returned and prepared sweete odours and oyntments but rested on the Sabboth day according to the commandement On good Friday The Collect.
