It is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of finners. 42. Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand. 43. And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and ftaves, from the chief Priests, and the Scribes, and the Elders. 44. And he that betrayed him, had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away fafely. 45. And as foon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and faith, Master, mafter; and kiffed him. 46. ↑ And they laid their hands on him, and took him. 47. And one of them that stood by, drew a sword, and smote a fervant of the high Prieft, and cut off his ear. 48. And Jesus answered and faid unto them, Are ye come out as against a thief, with fwords, and with staves, to take me? 49. I was daily with you in the temple, teaching, and ye took me not: but the fcriptures must be fulfilled. 50. And they all forsook him, and fled. 51. And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth caft about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him. 52. And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked. 53. And they f led Jefus away to the high Prieft: and with him were assembled all the chief Priefts, and the Elders, and the Scribes. 54. And Peter followed him afar off, even into the Palace of the high Prieft: and he fat with the fervants, and warmed himself at the Fire. 55. And the chief Priests, and all the Council, fought for Witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none. 56. For many d 2. c. out as against a Thief, with Swords and Staves? Joh. 13. 1.

And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, 58. We heard him fay, I will destroy this Temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. 59. But neither fo did their witness agree together. 60. And the high Priest stood up in the mids, and asked Jefus, saying, Aniverest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? 61. But he held hisi peace, and anfwered nothing. Again the high Priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Chrift, the Son of the Blessed? 62. And Jefus faid, I am : and ye shall fee the Son of man fitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 63. Then the high Prieft rent his clothes, and faith, What need we any further Witnesses? 64. Ye have heard the blafphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. 65. And fome began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to fay unto him, Prophefie: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands. 66. And as Peter was beneath in the Palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high Prieft. 67. And when the faw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and faid, And thou alfo wast with Jesus of Nazareth. 68. But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou fayft. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew. 69. And am maid faw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one 70. And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by faid again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech agreeth thereto. 71. But he began to curse and to swear, Saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak. 72. And the fecond time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jefus faid unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept [Or, wept abundantly, or, he began to weep]. of them. CHAP. h† Mar. 15.29. 2. 19. † Ifa. 53. 7.

ND straightway in the morning the a chief Priefts held a confultation with the Elders and Scribes, and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate. 2. And Pilate a ked him, Art thou the king of the Jews? And he answering faid unto him, Thou sayst it. 3. And the chief Priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing. 4. And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee. 5. But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled. 6. Now at that feast he released unto them one Prifoner, whomsoever they defired. 7. And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made infurrection with him, who had committed murder in the mfurrection. 8. And the multitude crying aloud, began to defire him to do as he had ever done unto them. 9. But Pilate anfwered them, faying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? 10. (For he knew that the chief Priests had delivered him for envy.) 11. But the f chief Priefts moved the People, that he should rather release Barabbas 12. And Pilate answered, and faid again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? 13. And they cried out again, Crucifie him. 14. Then Pilate faid unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucifie him. 15. And so Pilate willing to content the People,& released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. unto them. 2 † Pfal. 2. 2. † Luk. 22. 66. † Luk. 23. 1. † Joh. 18.28.

And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head, 18. And began to falute him, Hail King of the Jews. 19. And they smote him on the head with a Reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees, worshipped him. 20. And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucifie him. 21. And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross. 22. And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, the place of a skull. 23. And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. \ 24. And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, cafting lots upon them, what every man should take. 25. And it was the (1) third Hour, and they crucified him. 26.

Then were there two Thieves crucified with him: ther on the left. (1) In St. John, Chap. 19. 14. we read it was about the fixth Hour. That is, about fix a Clock in the Morning when Pilate paffed Sentence upon him; for St. John writ his Gospel after the De struction of Jerufalem, and computes, not after the Jewish, but the Roman Way of reckoning. But St. Mark here seems to relate the Time of our Lord's being nailed to the Cross, which he says was the third Hour, according to the Jewish Reckoning, that is, about nine a Clock in the Morning. And this Obfervation removes the feeming Difference be tween the Evangelifts. two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. 28. And the scripture was fulfilled, which faith, And he was a numbred with the tranfgreffors. 29. And they that passed by, railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildeft it in three days, 30. Save thy felf, and come down from the cross. 31. Likewife also the chief Priests mocking, faid among themselves, with the Scribes, He faved others, himself he cannot fave. 32. Let Chrift the king of Ifrael defcend now from the cross, that we may fee, and believe. And they that were crucified with him, reviled him. 33. And when the fixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land, until the ninth hour. 34. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, faying, f Eloi, Eloi, lama labachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why haft thou forsaken me? 35. And fome of them that stood by, when they heard it, faid, Behold, he calleth Elias. 36. And one ran and filled a fpunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave Shim to drink, saying, Let alone; let us fee whether Elias will come to take him down. 37.
