1But the chief priests and the elders had persuaded the people / that they should axe Barabbas / & should destroy Jesus. Then the debit answered and said unto them: whether of the twain will ye that I let loose unto you? And they said / Barrabae. Pilate said unto them: what shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all said to him: let him be crucified. Then said the debit: what evil hath he done? And they cried the more saying: let him be crucified.

When Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing / but that more business was made / he toke water and washed his hands before the people saying: I am innocent of the blood of this *just person / & that ye shall see. Then answered all the people and said: his blood be on us / and on our children. Then let he Barabbas loose unto them / and scourged Jesus and delivered him to be crucified.
