And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, this is one of them. And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again. to Peter, Surely thou art one of them, for thou art a Galilean; and thy speech agreeth thereto. But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speake: And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, before the Cock crow twice, thou shalt deny meg thrice. And when he thought thereon he wept.

Let us stand together, who is mine Adversary? let him come near to me. Behold, the Lord God will help mee; who is he that shall condemne meg? Lo, they all shall waxe old as a garment: the moth shall eate them up. Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon his God. Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compasse yourselves about with sparkes; walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand, ye shall li down in sorrow.

And Pilate asked him again saying, answerest thou nothing? Behold how many things they witnesse against thee. But Jesus yet answered nothing: so that Pilate marvelled. Now al that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had comitted murder in the insurrection. And the multitude crying aloud, began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them. But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release vnto you the King of the Jews? (for hee knew that the chief Priests had delivered him for envy) but the cheife Priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. And Pilate answered, and said

and bowing their knees, worshipped him. And
when they had mocked him, they took of the
