Matthew 27:39-66 ▼

39 They that passed by revyled him waggynge ther heeddes

40 and sayinge: Thou that destroyest the temple of God and byldest it in thre dayes save thy sylfe. If thou be ye sonne of God come doune from the crosse.

41 Lykwyse also the hye prestes mockinge him with the scribes aud elders sayde:

42 He saved other him sylfe he can not save. If he be ye kynge of Israel: let him now come doune from the crosse and we will beleve him.

43 He trusted in God let him deliver him now yf he will have him: for he sayde I am the sonne of God.

44 That same also the theves which were crucified with him cast in his tethe.

45 From the sixte houre was there dercknes over all the londe vnto the nynth houre.

46 And about ye nynth houre Iesus cryed with a loude voyce sayinge: Eli Eli lama asbathani. That is to saye my God my God why hast thou forsaken me?

47 Some of them that stode there when they herde that sayde: This man calleth for Helyas.

48 And streyght waye one of them ranne and toke a sponge and filled it full of veneger and put it on a rede and gave him to drinke.

49 Other sayde let be: let vs se whyther Helyas will come and deliver him.

50 Iesus cryed agayne with a lowde voyce and yelded vp the goost.

51 And beholde the vayle of the temple dyd rent in twayne from ye toppe to the bottome and the erth dyd quake and the stones dyd rent

52 and graves dyd open: and the bodies of many sainctes which slept arose

53 and came out of ye graves after his resurreccion and came into the holy cite and appered vnto many.

54 When the Centurion and they that were with him watchinge Iesus sawe ye erth quake and those thinges which hapened they feared greatly sayinge. Of a surete this was the sonne of God.

55 And many wemen were there beholdinge him a farre of which folowed Iesus fro Galile ministringe vnto him.

56 Amonge which was Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother of Iames and Ioses and ye mother of zebedes chyldren.

57 When the even was come there came a ryche man of Aramathia named Ioseph which same also was Iesus disciple.

58 He went to Pilate and begged the body of Iesus. Then Pilate commaunded the body to be delivered.

59 And Ioseph toke the body and wrapped it in a clene lynnyn clooth

60 and put it in his newe tombe which he had hewen out even in the roke and rolled a greate stone to the dore of ye sepulcre and departed.

61 And there was Mary Magdalene and the other Mary sittynge over ageynste the sepulcre.

62 The nexte daye that foloweth good frydaye the hye prestes and pharises got them selves to Pilate

63 and sayde: Syr we remember yt this deceaver sayde whyll he was yet alyve After thre dayes I will aryse agayne.

64 Commaunde therfore that the sepulcre be made sure vntyll ye thyrd daye lest paraventure his disciples come and steale him awaye and saye vnto the people he is rysen from deeth and the laste erroure be worsse then the fyrst.

65 Pilate sayde vnto them. Take watche men: Go and make it as sure as ye can.

66 And they went and made the sepulcre sure with watche men and sealed the stone.
