The fourth Sermon of the passion.
Matthew Cap. xxvi. 67 Then spat they in his face, and buffeted him, and other smote him with their rods. 68 Saying, prophesy unto us O Christ, who is he that smote thee. 69 Peter sate without in the hall: and a Maid came unto him, saying, thou also waste with Jesus of Galilee. 70 But he denied before them all, saying, I wot not what thou sayest. 71 And when he went out into the Porch, another Maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, this man was also with Jesus of Nazareth. 72 And again he denied with an oath, saying, I know not the man. 73 So after a while, came unto him they that stood by, and said unto Peter, Surely▪ thou art also one of them, for even thy speech betrayeth thee. 74 Then began he to curse himself, and to swear, saying, I know not the man, and immediately the Cock crew. 75 Then Peter remembered the words of Jesus, which had said unto him, before the Cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. So he went out and wept bitterly. Chapter xxvij. 1 When the morning was come, all the chief Priests, and Elders of the people, took counsel against Jesus, to put him to death. 2 And led him away bound, and delivered him unto Pontius Pilate the Governor. 3 Then, when Judas which betrayed him, saw ⟨image 51⟩that he was condemned he repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of Silver, to the chief Priests and Elders. 4 Saying, I have sinned betraying the innocent blood. But they said, what is that to us? look thou to it. 5 And when he had cast down the Silver pieces in the temple, he departed and hanged him self. 6 And the chief priests took the Silver pieces, and said, it is not lawful for us to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. 7 And they took counsel, and bought with them a potters field, for the burial of Strangers. 8 Wherefore, that field is called, the field of blood, until this day. 9 (Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the Prophet, saying, and they took their silver pieces, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel valued. 10 And they gave them for the potters field, as the Lord appointed me.) 11 And Jesus stood before the Governor, and the Governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus said unto him, thou sayest it. &c.
