Pilate then went out vnto them ,
and said ,
What accusation bring yee against this man ?
*
They answered ,
and saide vnto him ,
If hee were not an euill doer ,
we woulde not haue deliuered him vnto thee .
*
Then said Pilate unto them ,
Take ye him ,
and judge him according to your law .
The Jews therefore said unto him , (
note :)
For judgments of life and death were taken from them forty years before the destruction of the temple .(:
note )
It is not lawful for us to put any man to death :
*
That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled ,
which he spake , (
note :)
For Christ had foretold that he would be crucified .(:
note )
signifying what death he should die .
*
So Pilate entred into the common hall againe ,
and called Iesus ,
and sayde vnto him ,
Art thou the king of the Iewes ?
*
Iesus answered him ,
Saiest thou that of thy selfe ,
or did other tell it thee of me ?
*
Pilate answered ,
Am I a Iewe ?
Thine owne nation ,
and the hie Priestes haue deliuered thee vnto me .
What hast thou done ?
*
*
Pilate then said vnto him ,
Art thou a King then ?
Iesus answered ,
Thou sayest that I am a King :
for this cause am I borne ,
and for this cause came I into the world ,
that I should beare witnes vnto the trueth :
euery one that is of the trueth ,
heareth my voyce .
*
*
But you haue a custome ,
that I shoulde deliuer you one loose at the Passeouer :
will yee then that I loose vnto you the King of ye Iewes ?
*
Then (
note :)
Literally , «
made a great and foul voice ».(:
note )
cried they all again ,
saying ,
Not this man ,
but Barabbas .
Now Barabbas was a robber .
