Luk 23:1 And the whole multitude of them arose, & led hym vnto Pilate.

Luk 23:2 And they began to accuse hym, saying: We founde this felow peruerting the people, and forbyddyng to paye tribute to Ceasar, saying that he is Christe, a kyng.

Luk 23:3 And Pilate apposed hym, saying: Art thou the kyng of the Iewes? He aunswered hym, and sayde: Thou sayest it.

Luk 23:4 Then saide Pilate to the hye priestes, and to the people: I finde no fault in this man.

Luk 23:5 And they were the more fierce, saying: He moueth the people, teaching thorowout al Iurie, and began at Galilee, euen to this place.

Luk 23:6 When Pilate hearde [mention] of Galilee, he asked whether the man were of Galilee.

Luk 23:7 And assoone as he knewe that he belonged vnto Herodes iurisdiction, he sent hym to Herode, whiche was also at Hierusalem at that tyme.

Luk 23:10 The hye priestes and scribes stoode foorth, and accused hym straytely.

Luk 23:13 And Pilate called together the hye priestes, and the rulers, and the people,

Luk 23:14 And said vnto them: Ye haue brought this man vnto me, as one yt peruerteth the people: and behold, I examine him before you, & finde no fault in this man of those thinges wherof ye accuse hym:

Luk 23:15 No, nor yet Herode: For I sent you to hym, and loe nothing worthy of death is done to hym.

Luk 23:16 I wyll therefore chasten hym, and let hym loose.

Luk 23:17 For of necessitie he must haue let one loose vnto them at the feast.

Luk 23:18 And all the people cryed at once, saying: Away with him, and deliuer to vs Barabbas.

Luk 23:19 Which for a certaine insurrection made in the citie, and for murther, was cast in pryson.

Luk 23:20 Pilate spake agayne to them, wyllyng to let Iesus loose.

Luk 23:21 But they cryed, saying: Crucifie hym, crucifie hym.

Luk 23:29 For beholde, the dayes wyll come, in the which they shal say : Happy are the barren, & the wombes that neuer bare, & the pappes which neuer gaue sucke.

Luk 23:30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountaynes, fall on vs, & to the hylles, couer vs.

Luk 23:31 For if they do these thinges in a greene tree, what shalbe done in the drye?

Luk 23:32 And there were two euyll doers, led with hym to be slayne.

Luk 23:41 We are righteously [punished] for we receaue according to our deedes: But this man hath done nothing amisse.

Luk 23:42 And he sayde vnto Iesus: Lorde, remember me, when thou commest into thy kyngdome.
