1	When the mornyng was come, all the chiefe priestes, and the elders of the people, helde a councell agaynst Iesus to put hym to death.	When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.	Early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people made their plans how to have Jesus executed.
2	And brought hym bounde, and deliuered hym to Pontius Pilate the deputie.	And they bound him and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate the governor.	So they bound him, led him away and handed him over to Pilate the governor.
3	Then Iudas, whiche had betrayed hym, seyng that he was condempned, repented hym selfe, and brought agayne the thirtie peeces of syluer, to the chiefe priestes and elders,	Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he changed his mind and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,	When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders.
4	Saying: I haue synned, betraying the innocent blood. And they said: what is that to vs? see thou to that.	saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” They said, “What is that to us? See to it yourself.”	“I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.” “What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.”
5	And he cast downe the peeces of siluer in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged hym selfe.	And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, he departed, and he went and hanged himself.	So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6	And the chiefe priestes toke the peeces of syluer, and sayde: It is not lawfull for to put the into the treasurie, because it is the price of blood.	But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is blood money.”	The chief priests picked up the coins and said, “It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”
7	And they toke councell, and bought with them a potters fielde, to burye straungers in.	So they took counsel and bought with them the potter’s field as a burial place for strangers.	So they decided to use the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.
8	Wherfore that fielde is called the fielde of blood, vntyll this day.	Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.	That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
9	(Then was fulfylled that, which was spoken by Ieremie the prophet, saying: And they toke thirtie siluer peeces, the price of hym that was valued, whom they bought of the children of Israel:	Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel,	Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel,
10	And gaue them for the potters fielde, as the Lorde appoynted me.)	and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord directed me.”	and they used them to buy the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”
11	Iesus stode before the deputie, and the deputie asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Iewes? Iesus saith vnto hym: thou sayest.	Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said, “You have said so.”	Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

13	Then sayth Pilate vnto him: hearest thou not how many witnesses they lay agaynst thee?	Then Pilate said to him, “Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?”	Then Pilate asked him, “Don’t you hear the testimony they are bringing against you?”
14	And he aunswered hym to neuer a worde: insomuch, that the deputie marueyled greatly.	But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed.	But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge—to the great amazement of the governor.
15	At that feast, the deputie was wont to delyuer vnto the people a prysoner, whom they woulde desire.	Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted.	Now it was the governor’s custom at the festival to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd.
16	He had then a notable prysoner, called Barabbas.	And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.	At that time they had a well-known prisoner whose name was Jesus Barabbas.
17	Therfore, when they were gathered together, Pilate saide vnto them: whether wyll ye that I geue loose vnto you Barabbas, or Iesus, whiche is called Christe?	So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”	So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?”
18	For he knewe, that for enuy they had delyuered hym.	For he knew that it was out of envy that they had delivered him up.	For he knew it was out of self-interest that they had handed Jesus over to him.
19	When he was set downe to geue iudgment, his wyfe sent vnto hym, saying: haue thou nothing to do with that iuste man: For I haue suffred many thynges this day in a dreame because of him.	Besides, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much because of him today in a dream.”	While Pilate was sitting on the judge’s seat, his wife sent him this message: “Don’t have anything to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him.”
20	But the chiefe priestes & elders perswaded the people, that they shoulde aske Barabbas, and destroy Iesus.	Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.	But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.
21	The deputie aunswered, and saide vnto them: Whether of the twayne wyll ye that I let loose vnto you? They saide, Barabbas.	The governor again said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas.”	“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they answered.
22	Pilate sayde vnto them: What shall I do then with Iesus, whiche is called Christe? They all sayde vnto hym: let hym be crucified.	Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said, “Let him be crucified!”	“What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify him!”
23	The deputie sayde: What euyll hath he done? But they cryed the more, saying: let hym be crucified.	And he said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Let him be crucified!”	“Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”
24	When Pilate sawe that he coulde preuayle nothyng, but that more busynesse was made, he toke water, and washed his handes before the people, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this iust person, see ye to it.	So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man’s blood; see to it yourselves.”	When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!”
25	Then aunswered all the people, and sayde: His blood be on vs, and on our chyldren.	And all the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”	All the people answered, “His blood is on us and on our children!”
26	Then let he Barabbas loose vnto them, and scourged Iesus, and deliuered hym to be crucified.	Then he released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.	Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
27	Then the souldiours of the deputie toke Iesus in the common hall, and gathered vnto hym all the bande of souldiours.	Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor’s headquarters, and they gathered the whole battalion before him.	Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him.
