But he began to curfe and to fwear, faying, I know not this man of whom ye fpeak, And the second

And the multitade crying aloud began to define him to do as he had ever done unto them But Pilate anfwered them,faying, Will ye that I release unto you the king of the Jews?

And they that passed by, railed on him, wagging their heads,and faying, Ah,thou that deftroy eft the temple, and buildelt it in three days, fave thy felf, and come down from the crofs. Likewife alfo the chief priests mocking, faid among themfelves, with the feribes, He faved others, himself he cannot fave. Let Chrift the king of Ifrael defcend now from the cross, that we may fee and believe. And they that were cru cified with him,reviled him. And when the fixth hour was come, there was darknefs over the whole land,until the ninth hour.
