The Soldiers Mock Jesus
(Isaiah 50:4–11; Matthew 27:27–31; Mark 15:16–20; Luke 22:63–65)

1Then Pilate tooke Iesus & scourged him. 2And the souldiers platted a crowne of thornes, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple garment, 3And saide, Haile, King of the Iewes; they smote him with their roddes. 4Then Pilate went foorth againe, and said vnto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may knowe, that I finde no fault in him at all. 5Then came Iesus foorth wearing a crowne of thornes, and a purple garment; Pilate said vnto them, Beholde the man. 6Then when the hie Priests & officers sawe him, they cried, saying, Crucifie, crucifie him. Pilate said vnto them, Take yee him and crucifie him: for I finde no fault in him. 7The Iewes answered him, We haue a lawe, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himselfe the Sonne of God.

8When Pilate then heard that woorde, he was the more afraide, 9And went againe into the common hall, and saide vnto Iesus, Whence art thou? But Iesus gaue him none answere. 10Then saide Pilate vnto him, Speakest thou not vnto me? Knowest thou not that I haue power to crucifie thee, & haue power to loose thee? 11Iesus answered, Thou couldest haue no power at all against me, except it were giuen thee from aboue: therefore he that deliuered me vnto thee, hath the greater sinne. 12From thence foorth Pilate sought to loose him, but the Iewes cried, saying, If thou deliuer him, thou art not Cesars friende: for whosoeuer maketh himselfe a King, speaketh against Cesar.

13When Pilate heard this woorde, hee brought Iesus foorth, & sate downe in the iudgement seate in a place called the Pauement, and in Hebrewe, Gabbatha. 14And it was the Preparation of the Passeouer, and about the sixt houre: and hee sayde vnto the Iewes, Beholde your King. 15But they cried, Away with him, away with him, crucifie him. Pilate sayde vnto them, Shall I crucifie your King? The high Priestes answered, We haue no King but Cesar.

The Crucifixion
(Psalm 22:1–31; Matthew 27:32–44; Mark 15:21–32; Luke 23:26–43)

16Then deliuered he him vnto them, to be crucified. And they tooke Iesus, and led him away.

17And he bare his owne crosse, and came into a place named of dead mens Skulles, which is called in Hebrewe, Golgotha: 18Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Iesus in the middes. 19And Pilate wrote also a title, and put it on the crosse, and it was written, Iesvs Of Nazareth The King Of The Iewes. 20This title then read many of the Iewes: for the place where Iesus was crucified, was neere to the citie: and it was written in Hebrewe, Greeke and Latine. 21Then saide the hie Priests of the Iewes to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Iewes, but that he sayd, I am King of the Iewes. 22Pilate answered, What I haue written, I haue written.

23Then the souldiers, when they had crucified Iesus, tooke his garments (and made foure partes, to euery souldier a part) and his coat: and the coat was without seame wouen from the toppe throughout. 24Therefore they sayde one to another, Let vs not deuide it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be. This was that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which sayth, They parted my garments among them, and on my coate did cast lots. So the souldiers did these things in deede. 25Then stoode by the crosse of Iesus his mother, and his mothers sister, Marie the wife of Cleopas, and Marie Magdalene. 26And when Iesus sawe his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loued, he said vnto his mother, Woman, beholde thy sonne. 27Then saide he to the disciple, Beholde thy mother: and from that houre, the disciple tooke her home vnto him.

The Death of Jesus
(Psalm 22:1–31; Matthew 27:45–56; Mark 15:33–41; Luke 23:44–49)

28After, when Iesus knew that all things were performed, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, he said, I thirst. 29And there was set a vessell full of vineger: and they filled a spondge with vineger: and put it about an Hyssope stalke, and put it to his mouth. 30Nowe when Iesus had receiued of the vineger, he saide, It is finished, and bowed his head, and gaue vp the ghost.

Jesus’ Side Is Pierced
(Zechariah 12:10–14)

31The Iewes then (because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remaine vpon the crosse on the Sabbath day: for that Sabbath was an hie day) besought Pilate that their legges might be broken, and that they might be taken downe. 32Then came the souldiers and brake the legges of the first, and of the other, which was crucified with Iesus. 33But when they came to Iesus, and saw that he was dead alreadie, they brake not his legges. 34But one of the souldiers with a speare pearced his side, and foorthwith came there out blood and water. 35And he that sawe it, bare recorde, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might beleeue it. 36For these things were done, that the Scripture shoulde be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shalbe broken. 37And againe an other Scripture saith, They shall see him whom they haue thrust through.

The Burial of Jesus
(Isaiah 53:9–12; Matthew 27:57–61; Mark 15:42–47; Luke 23:50–56)

38And after these things, Ioseph of Arimathea (who was a disciple of Iesus, but secretly for feare of the Iewes) besought Pilate that he might take downe the bodie of Iesus; Pilate gaue him licence. He came then and tooke Iesus body. 39And there came also Nicodemus (which first came to Iesus by night) & brought of myrrhe and aloes mingled together about an hundreth pound. 40Then tooke they the body of Iesus, and wrapped it in linnen clothes with the odours, as the maner of the Iewes is to burie. 41And in that place where Iesus was crucified, was a garden, and in the garden a newe sepulchre, wherein was neuer man yet laid. 42There then laide they Iesus, because of the Iewes Preparation day, for the sepulchre was neere.
