But the Chief Priests and Elders perfwaded and [Mr.] moved [M] the Multitude, [Mr.] that he fhould rather releafe Barabbas, and DESTROY Jesus. The Governour answered and faid unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I releafe unto you? [L] And they cried out all at once, faying, Away with this Man, and releafe unto us Barabbas.

Then came Fefus forth, wearing the CROWN of THORNS, and the PURPLE ROBE. And Pilate faith. unto them, Behold the Man. When the Chief Priests therefore and Officers faw him, they CRIED out, faying, CRUCIFY him, CRUCIFY him. Pilate faith unto them, Take ye him, and CRUCIFY him, for I find no FAULT in him. The Fers answered him, We have a LAW, and by our Law he ought to DIE, because he made himself the Son of GOD. When Pilate therefore heard that SAYING, he was the more AFRAID: and went again into the Judgment - Hall, and faith unto Jefus, WHENCE art thou? But Jefus gave him no ANSWER. Then faith Pilate unto him, Speakeft thou not unto me? Knoweft thou not that I have Power to CRUCIFY thee, and have PowER to releafe thee? Jefus answered, Thou couldst have no PowER at all against me, except it were given thee from ABOVE : Therefore he that delivered me unto thee, hath the greater SIN. And from thenceforth Pilate fought to RELEASE him but the Jews cried out, faying, If thou let this Man go, thou art not Cefar's Friend: Whofoever maketh himfelf a King, fpeaketh against Cefar. When Pilate therefore heard that Saying, he brought Jefus forth, and fat down in the Judgment-feat, in a Place that is called the PAVEMENT, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. And it was the Preparation of the Paffover, and about the fixth Hour: And he faith unto the Jews, Behold your King. But they cried out, Away with him, AWAY with him, CRUCIFY him, Pilate faith unto them, Shall I crucify your your King? The Chief Priests answered, We have no King but Cefar. [M.] When Pilate faw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a Tumult was made, he took WATER, and wafhed his Hands before the Multitude, faying, I am INNOCENT of the BLOOD of this JUST Perfon: See ye to it. Then answered all the People, and faid, His BLOOD be on us, and on our Children. Then [Mr.] Pilate, willing to content the People, [L.] gave SENTENCE that it fhould be as they required. And he released unto them [Mr.] Barabbas, [Ĺ.] him that for Sedition and Murder was caft into Prifon, whom they had defired: [M.] And when he had fcourged Jefus, he delivered him [L.] to their Will, [M] to be CRUCIFIED. ****** **** CHRIST is brought out of the City of Jerufalem, to the Place of bis Suffering. [7]AND they took fefus, [M] and after that they had MOCKED him, they took [Mr.] the PURPLE ROBE off from him, [M.] and put his own Raiment on him, and LED him away to CRUCIFY [Mr.] him : [7] And he BEARING his CROSS, went forth. [L.] And as they led him away, [M.] they found a Man, [Mr.] one Simon, a Cyrenean, who paffed by, coming out of the Country, the Father of Alexander and Rufus: [L.] and they laid hold on Simon the Cyrenean, [M] him they compelled, [L] and on him they laid the CROSS, that he might bear it after Fefus. And there followed him a great Company of People, and of Women, which alfo bewailed and LAMENTED him. But Jefus turning unto them, faid, Daughters of Jerufalem, WEEP not for me, but WEEP for your felves, and for your Children; for behold, the Days are coming, in the which they fhall fay, Bleffed are the Barren, and the Wombs that never bare, and the Paps which never gave fuck.
