railed on him wagging their heads and saying A wretch thou that destroyest the Temple and buildest it againe in three dayes saue thy selfe and come down from the crosse Likewise also mocked him the high Priestes among themselues with the Scribes and sayd He saued other men himselfe he cannot saue Let Christ the king of Israel descend now from the crosse that we may see beleeue And they that were crucified with him checked him also And when the sixt houre was come darkenesse arose ouer all the earth vntill the ninth houre And at the ninth houre Iesus cried with a loud voyce saying Eloi Eloi Iamasabachthani which is if one interpret it My God my God why hast thou forsaken me And some of them that stood by when they heard that said Behold he calleth for Elias And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar and put it on a reede and gaue him to drinke saying Let him alone let vs see whether Elias will come and take him downe But Iesus cried with a loude voyce and gaue vp the ghost And the vaile of the Temple rent in two pieces from the top to the bottome And when the Centurion which stoode before him saw that he so cryed and gaue by the ghost hee sayd Truely this man was the Sonne of GOD. There were also women a good way off beholding him Among whom was Marie Magdalene and Marie the mother of Iames the little and of Ioses and Marie Salome which also when hee was in Galilee had followed him and ministred vnto him and many other women which came vp with him to Hierusalam And now when the euen was come because it was the day of preparing that goeth before the Sabboth Ioseph of the citie of Arimathea a noble counsailour which also looked for the kingdome of God came and went in boldly vnto Pilate and begged of him the body of Iesus And Pilate marueiled that he was already dead and called vnto him the Centurion and asked of him whether hee had bene any while dead And when he knew the trueth of the Centurion hee gaue the body to Ioseph And he bought a linnen cloth and tooke him downe wrapped him in the linnen cloth and layd him in a sepulchre that was hewen out of a rocke and rolled a stone before the doore of the sepulchre And Mary Magdalene and Mary Ioses beheld where he was laid VVednesday before Easter The Epistle WHere as is a Testament Heb. 9.16 there must also of necessity be the death of him that maketh the Testament For the testament taketh authority when men are dead For it is yet of no value as long as he that maketh the Testament is aliue For which cause also neither the first Testament was ordeined without blood For when Moses had declared al the cōmandemēts to al the people according to the Law he took the blood of Calues of Goates with water purple wooll and hysoye sprinkled both the booke al the people saying This is the blood of the Testament which God hath appointed vnto you Moreouer he sprinkled the tabernacle with blood also and all the ministring vessels And almost all things are by the Law purged with blood and without shedding of blood is no remission It is need then that the similitudes of heauenly things bee purified with such things but that the heauenly things themselues be purified with better sacrifices then are those For Christ is not entered into the holy places that are made with handes which are similitudes of true things but is entered into very heauen for to appeare now in the sight of God for vs not to offer him selfe often as the high Priest entereth into the holy place euery yeere with strange blood for then he must haue often suffered since the world began but now in the ende of the world hath hee appeared once to put sinne to flight by the offring vp of himself And as it is appointed vnto all men that they shall once die and then commeth the iudgement euen so Christ was once offered to take away the sinnes of many and vnto them that looke for him shal he appeare againe without sinne vnto saluation The Gospel THe feast of sweet bread drew nigh Luk. 22.1 which is called Easter and the hie Priestes and Scribes sought how they might kill him for they feared the people Then entred Satan into Iudas whose surname was Iscariot which was of the number of the twelue and he went his way and communed with the hie priests and officers how he might betray him vnto them And they were glad and promised to giue him money And hee consented and sought opportunitie to betray him vnto them when the people were away Then came the day of sweete bread when of necessitie the Passeouer must be offered And he sent Peter and Iohn saying Goe and prepare vs the Passeouer that we may eate They sayde vnto him Where wilt thou that we prepare And hee sayde vnto them Behold when yee enter into the Citie there shall a man meete you bearing a pitcher of water him follow into the same house that hee entereth in and yee shall say vnto the goodman of the house The master sayeth vnto thee Where is the ghest chamber where I shall eate the Passeouer with my Disciples And hee shall shewe you a great parlour paued there make readie And they went and found as hee had sayd vnto them and they made ready the Passeouer And when the houre was come he fate downe and the twelue Apostles with him And hee sayde vnto them I haue inwardly desired to eate this Passeouer with you before that I suffer For I say vnto you hencefoorth will I not eate of it any more vntill it be fulfilled in the kingdome of God And hee tooke the cup and gaue thanks and sayd Take this and diuide it among you for I say vnto you I will not drinke of the fruit of the Vine vntill the kingdome of God come And hee tooke bread and when he had giuen thanks he brake it and gaue it vnto them saying This is my body which is giuen for you this doe in the remembrance of me Likewise also when he had supped hee tooke the cup saying This cup is the newe Testament in my blood which is shed for you Yet beholde the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table And truely the Sonne of man goeth as it is appointed but woe vnto that man by whom hee is betrayed And they began to enquire among themselues which of them it was that should doe it And there was a strife among them which of them should seeme to bee the greatest And hee sayde vnto them The kings of nations reigne ouer them and they that haue anthoritie vpon them are called gracious but ye shall not so be But hee that is greatest among you shall bee as the yonger and he that is chiefe shall be as hee that doth minister For whether is greater
