Jesus

And immediatly while hee yet spake, came Iudas that was one of the twelue, and with him a great multitude with swordes and staues from the hie Priests, and Scribes, and Elders.

And he that betraied him, had giuen them a token, saying, Whomsoeuer I shall kisse, he it is: take him and leade him away safely.

And assoone as hee was come, hee went straightway to him, and saide, Haile Master, and kissed him.

Then they laide their handes on him, and tooke him.

And Iesus answered and saide to them, Ye be come out as against a thiefe with swordes, and with staues, to take me.

I was daily with you teaching in the Temple, and yee tooke me not: but this is done that the Scriptures should be fulfilled.

Then they all forsooke him, and fled.

And there followed him a certaine yong man, clothed in linnen vpon his bare bodie, and the yong men caught him.

So they led Iesus away to the hie Priest, and to him came together all the hie Priestes, and the Elders, and the Scribes.

And Peter folowed him afarre off, euen into the hall of the hie Priest, and sate with the seruants, and warmed himselfe at the fire.

And the hie Priests, and all the Councill sought for witnesse against Iesus, to put him to death, but found none.

For many bare false witnesse against him, but their witnesse agreed not together.

Then there arose certaine, and bare false witnesse against him, saying,

We hearde him say, I will destroy this Temple made with hands, and within three daies I will builde another, made without hands.

Then the hie Priest stoode vp amongst them, and asked Iesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is the matter that these beare witnesse against thee?

But hee helde his peace, and answered nothing. Againe the hie Priest asked him, and sayde vnto him, Art thou that Christ the Sonne of the Blessed?

And Iesus said, I am he, and yee shall see the Sonne of man sitte at the right hande of the power of God, and come in the clouds of heauen.

Ye haue heard the blasphemie: what thinke yee? And they all condemned him to be worthie of death.

And some began to spit at him, and to couer his face, and to beate him with fists, and to say vnto him, Prophesie. And the sergeants smote him with their roddes.

And when shee sawe Peter warming him selfe, shee looked on him, and sayde, Thou wast also with Iesus of Nazareth.

And he began to curse, and sweare, saying, I knowe not this man of whom ye speake.

Then the seconde time the cocke crewe, and Peter remembred the woorde that Iesus had saide vnto him, Before the cocke crowe twise, thou shalt denie me thrise, and waying that with himselfe, he wept.

And anon in the dawning, the hie Priestes helde a Councill with the Elders, and the Scribes, and the whole Council, and bound Iesus, and led him away, and deliuered him to Pilate.

Then Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Iewes? And hee answered, and sayde vnto him, Thou sayest it.

And the hie Priestes accused him of many things.
