Original text and translations

German text Christus, der uns selig macht, kein Bös hat begangen, der ward für uns in der Nacht, als ein Dieb gefangen, geführt für gottlose Leut, und fälschlich verklaget, verlacht, verhöhnt und verspeit, wie denn die Schrift saget.

English translation Christ, who makes us blessed and has done no wrong, was for us in the night seized like a thief, led before godless people and falsely accused, derided, mocked and spat upon, as the scripture says.
