And forthwith, in the morning, the chief priests with the Elders and the Scribes, and the whole Sanhedrim, held a consultation. And they bound Jesus, and led him away, and delivered him over to Pilate the president.
2 And Pilat axide hym, Art thou kynge of Jewis? And Jhesus answeride, and seide to hym, Thou seist.
And Pilate asked him: Art thou the king of the Jews? He replied and said to him: Thou hast said.
3 And the hieste prestis accusiden hym in many thingis.
And the chief priests accused him of many things.
4 But Pilat eftsoone axide hym, and seide, Answerist thou no thing? Seest thou in hou many thingis thei accusen thee?
And Pilate again questioned him, and said to him: Makest thou no reply? See how much they testify against thee!
5 But Jhesus answeride no more, so that Pilat wondride.
But Jesus gave no answer; so that Pilate wondered.
6 But bi the feeste dai he was wont to leeue to hem oon of men boundun, whom euer thei axiden.
And it was his custom, at each festival, to release to them one prisoner, whom they might desire.
7 And `oon ther was that was seid Barabas, that was boundun with men of dissencioun, that hadden don manslauytir in seducioun.
And there was one named Bar Abas, who was confined with the movers of sedition, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8 And whanne the puple was gon vp, he bigan to preie, as he euer more dide to hem.
And the people clamored, and began to demand, that he should do to them as he was accustomed.
9 And Pilat answeride `to hem, and seide, Wolen ye Y leeue to you the kyng of Jewis?
And Pilate answered, and said: Will ye, that I release to you the king of the Jews?
10 For he wiste, that the hiyeste prestis hadden takun hym bi enuye.
For Pilate knew that the chief priests, from envy, had delivered him up.
11 But the bischopis stireden the puple, that he schulde rather leeue to hem Barabas.
But the chief priests further persuaded the multitudes, that Bar Abas should be released to them.
12 And eftsoone Pilat answerde, and seide to hem, What thanne wolen ye that Y schal do to the kyng of Jewis?
And Pilate said to them: What will ye, therefore, that I do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?
13 And thei eftsoone crieden, Crucifie hym.
And they again cried out: Crucify him.
14 But Pilat seide to hem, What yuel hath he don? And thei crieden the more, Crucifie hym.
And Pilate said to them: But what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more: Crucify him.
15 And Pilat, willynge to make aseeth to the puple, lefte to hem Barabas, and bitok to hem Jhesu, betun with scourgis, to be crucified.
And Pilate was willing to gratify the wishes of the multitudes; and he released to them Bar Abas; and, having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to them to be crucified.
