27And there folowed him a greate multitude of people and of wemen, which bewayled and lamented him. 28But Iesus turned him aboute vnto the, and sayde: Ye doughters of Ierusale, wepe not ouer me: but wepe ouer youre selues, and ouer youre childre. 29For beholde, the tyme wil come, wherin it shal be sayde: Blessed are the baren, and the wombes that haue not borne, and the pappes that haue not geuen sucke. 30Then shal they begynne to saye vnto the mountaynes: Fall vpon vs. And to the hylles: Couer vs. 31For yf this be done to a grene tre, what shalbe done then to the drye?

32And two other (which were myssdoers) were led out also, to be put to death with him.

33And wha they came to ye place, which is called Caluery, they crucifyed him euen there, and the two myssdoers with him, the one on the righte hande, the other on ye left. 34But Iesus sayde: Father, forgeue them, for they wote not what they do. And they parted his garmentes, and cast lottes therfore. 35And the people stode and behelde. And the rulers mocked him with them, and sayde: He hath helped other, let him helpe him self now, yf he be Christ ye chosen of God. 36The soudyers also mocked him, wete vnto him, & brought him vyneger, 37and sayde: Yf thou be the kynge of the Iewes, then helpe thyself. 38And aboue ouer him was this superscripcion wrytten with letters of Greke, Latyn, and Hebrue: This is the kynge of the Iewes.

39And one of the myssdoers that hanged there, blasphemed him, and sayde: Yf thou be Christ, then helpe thy self and vs. 40Then answered the other, rebuked him, and sayde: And thou fearest not God also, which art yet in like danacion. 41And truly we are therin be right, for we receaue acordinge to oure dedes. As for this man, he hath done nothinge amysse. 42And he sayde vnto Iesus: LORDE, remembre me, whan thou commest in to thy kyngdome. 43And Iesus sayde vnto him: Verely I saye vnto the: To daye shalt thou be with me in Paradyse.
