* (
For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast .)
*
And they cried out all at once ,
saying ,
Away with this man ,
and release unto us Barabbas :
* (
Who for a certain sedition made in the city ,
and for murder ,
was cast into prison .)
*
Pilate therefore ,
willing to release Jesus ,
spake again to them .
*
But they cried ,
saying ,
Crucify him ,
crucify him .
*
And he said unto them the third time ,
Why ,
what evil hath he done ?
I have found no cause of death in him :
I will therefore chastise him ,
and let him go .
*
And they were instant with loud voices ,
requiring that he might be crucified .
And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed .
*
And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required .
*
And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison ,
whom they had desired ;
but he delivered Jesus to their will .
*
And as they led him away ,
they laid hold upon one Simon ,
a Cyrenian ,
coming out of the country ,
and on him they laid the cross ,
that he might bear it after Jesus .
*
And there followed him a great company of people ,
and of women ,
which also bewailed and lamented him .
*
But Jesus turning unto them said ,
Daughters of Jerusalem ,
weep not for me ,
but weep for yourselves ,
and for your children .
*
For ,
behold ,
the days are coming ,
in the which they shall say ,
Blessed are the barren ,
and the wombs that never bare ,
and the paps which never gave suck .
*
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains ,
Fall on us ;
and to the hills ,
Cover us .
