CH. XIX. 4-16.
4 Pilate therefore went forth
again, and saith unto them,
Behold, I bring him forth to
you, that ye may know that I
find no fault in him.
5 Then came Jesus forth,
wearing the crown of thorns,
and the purple robe. And
_Pilate_ saith unto them,
Behold the man!
6 When the chief priests
therefore and officers saw
him, they cried out, saying,
Crucify _him_, crucify _him_.
Pilate saith unto them, Take
ye him, and crucify _him_: for
I find no fault in him.
7 The Jews answered him, We
have a law, and by our law he
ought to die, because he made
himself the Son of God.
8 When Pilate therefore heard
that saying, he was the more
afraid;
9 And went again into the
judgment-hall, and saith unto
Jesus, Whence art thou? But
Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then saith Pilate unto him,
Speakest thou not unto me?
knowest thou not, that I have
power to crucify thee, and
have power to release thee?
11 Jesus answered, Thou
couldest 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.
12 And from thenceforth Pilate
sought to release him; but the
Jews cried out, saying, If
thou let this man go, thou art
not Cesar’s friend. Whosoever
maketh himself a king,
speaketh against Cesar.
13 When Pilate therefore heard
that saying, he brought Jesus
forth, and sat down in the
judgment-seat, in a place that
is called the Pavement, but in
the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 And it was the preparation
of the passover, and about the
sixth hour:(284) and he saith
unto the Jews, Behold your
King!
15 But they cried out, Away
with _him_, away with _him_,
crucify him. Pilate saith unto
them, shall I crucify your
King? The chief priests
answered, We have no king but
Cesar.
16 Then delivered he him
therefore unto them to be
crucified.
§ 151. Judas repents, and hangs himself. (Sixth Day Of The Week.)
_Jerusalem_.
Matthew.
CH. XXVII. 3-10.
3 Then Judas, which had
betrayed him, when he saw that
he was condemned, repented
himself, and brought again the
thirty pieces of silver to the
chief priests and elders,
4 Saying, I have sinned in
that I have betrayed the
innocent blood. And they said,
What _is that_ to us? see thou
_to that_.
5 And he cast down the pieces
of silver in the temple, and
departed, and went and hanged
himself.
6 And the chief priests took
the silver pieces, and said,
It is not lawful for to put
them into the treasury,
because it is the price of
blood.
7 And they took counsel, and
bought with them the potter’s
field, to bury strangers in.
8 Wherefore that field was
called, The field of blood,
unto this day.
9 Then was fulfilled that
which was spoken by
Jeremy(285) the prophet,
saying, And they took the
thirty pieces of silver, the
price of him that was valued,
whom they of the children of
Israel did value;
10 And gave them for the
potter’s field, as the Lord
appointed me.(286)
§ 152. Jesus is led away to be crucified. (Sixth Day Of The Week.)
