Bishops(i) 27 Then the souldiours of the deputie toke Iesus in the common hall, and gathered vnto hym all the bande [of souldiours. 28 And they stripped hym, and put on hym a skarlet robe 29 And platted a crowne of thornes, and put vppon his head, and a reede in his right hande, and bowed the knee before hym, and mocked hym, saying: Hayle kyng of the Iewes 30 And when they had spyt vpon hym, they toke the reede, and smote hym on the head 31 And after that they had mocked him, they toke the robe of hym agayne, and put his owne rayment on hym, and led hym away, to crucifie hym 32 And as they came out, they founde a man of Cyrene, named Simon: hym they compelled to beare his crosse 33 And they came vnto the place, which is called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of [dead mens] skulles 34 And gaue him vineger to drinke, mingled with gall: And when he had tasted therof, he woulde not drynke 35 When they had crucified hym, they parted his garmentes, & did cast lottes, that it myght be fulfylled whiche was spoken by the prophete: They departed my garmentes among them, & vpon my vesture dyd they cast lottes 36 And they sate, & watched him there 37 And set vp ouer his head, the cause [of his death] written: This is Iesus, the king of the Iewes 38 Then were there two thieues crucified with hym: one on the ryght hande, and another on the left 39 They that passed by, reuyled hym, waggyng their heades 40 And saying: Thou that destroyedst the temple, & buyldest it in three dayes, saue thy selfe.
