Ye greue the Lorde with your wordes, & yet ye saye: wherwith al haue we greued him? In this, that ye saye. Al that do euel are good in the syght of God, and soch please hym. Or els where is the God that punisheth?


text:
Beholde, I will sende my messaunger, whiche shall prepare the waye before me: and the Lorde whom ye wolde haue, shal soone come to his temple, yee, euen the messaunger of the couenaunt whom ye longe for. Beholde, he commeth, saieth the Lorde of hostes.


text:
But who may abyde the daye of his commyng? Who shalbe able to endure, when he appeareth? For he is like a goldsmythes fyre, ad lyke wasshers sope.


text:
He shal syt him downe to trye and to clense the syluer, he shall pourge the chyldren of Leui, and purifye them lyke as golde and syluer: that they maye bringe meatofferinges vnto the Lorde in righteousnes.


text:
Then shall the offeryng of Iuda and Ierusalem be acceptable vnto the Lorde, lyke as from the begynnynge and in the yeares, a fore tyme.


text:
I wyll come and punyshe you, and I my selfe wyl be a swyfte wytnes agaynst the witches, agaynste the aduouterers, agaynst false swearers: yee, & agaynst those that wrongeously kepe back the hyrelynges dewty: which vexe the wyddowes and the fatherlesse, and oppresse the straunger, and feare not me, saieth the Lorde of hostes.


text:
ye are gone awaye fro myne ordinaunces, and sens the tyme of your forfathers haue ye not kepte them. Turne you now vnto me, and I wyll turne me vnto you, sayeth the Lorde of hostes: ye saye, wherin shal we turne?


text:
Shulde a man vse falshed and disceat with God as ye vse falshed and disceate with me? yet ye saye wherin vse we disceate wt the? In Tithes & heaue offeringes.


text:
Bringe euery Tithe into my barne, that there maye be meat in myne house: and proue me withall (sayeth the Lorde of hoostes) yf I wyll not open the wyndowes of heauen vnto you, and poure you out a blessyng with plenteousnesse.


text:
Yee, I shall reproue the consumer for your sakes, so that he shall not eate vp the frute of youre grounde, nether shall the vynyarde be baren in the felde, sayeth the Lorde of hostes:


text:
In so moch that all people shall saye, that ye be blessed, for ye shall be a pleasaunt lande, sayeth the Lorde of hostes.


text:
Ye speake harde wordes agaynst me, sayeth the Lorde. And yet ye saye: What haue we spoken agaynst the?


text:
Ye haue sayde: It is but lost labour, to serue God? What profyt haue we for kepynge his commaundementes, and for walkynge humbly before the Lorde of hostes?


text:
Therfore maye we saye, that the proude are happie, & that they which deale with vngodlynesse, are sett vp: for they tempte God, and yet escape.


text:
But they that feare God, saye thus one to another: the Lorde consydereth and heareth it. Yee, it is before him a memoryal boke, wrytten for soch as feare the Lorde, and remembre his name.


text:
And in the daye that I wyll make (sayth the Lorde of hostes) they shalbe myne awne possession: and I will fauoure them, lyke as a man fauoureth hys awne sonne, that doth hym seruyce.


text:
Turne you therfore, and consydre what dyfference is betwyxte the righteous and vngodly, betwixte him that serueth God, and him that serueth hym not.


text:
For marck, the daye commeth that shal bnrne as an ouen: and all the proude, yee, and all soch as do wyckednesse, shalbe strawe, & the daye that is for to come, shall burne them vp (saieth the Lord of hostes) so that it shal leaue them nether rote ner braunche.


text:
But vnto you that feare my name, shall that Sonne of ryghteousnesse aryse, and health shalbe vnder his wynges: ye shal go forth, and multiplie as the fat calues,


text:
ye shal treade downe the vngodly: for they shalbe lyke the asshes vnder the soles of youre fete in the daye that I shall make, sayeth the Lorde of hoostes.


text:
Remembre the lawe of Moses my seruaunt, whych I commytted vnto hym in Oreb for all Israell, with the statutes and ordinaunces.


text:
Beholde, I wyll sende you Elias the prophet: before the commynge of the daye of the greate and fearefull Lorde.


text:
He shal turne the hertes of the fathers to theyr children, and the hertes of the chyldren to their fathers, that I come not and smyte the earth with cursynge.


text:
And so all the generacyons from Abraham to Dauid, are fourtene generacyons. And from Dauid vnto the captyuyte of Babylon, are fourtene generacyons. And from the captiuyte of Babylon vnto Christ, are fourtene generacyons.


text:
The byrth of Iesus Chryst was on this wyse. When his mother Mary was maryed to Ioseph (before they came to dwell togeather) she was founde with chylde by the holy ghoost.


text:
Then Ioseph her husbande (because he was a ryghteous man, and wolde not put her to shame) he was mynded preuely to departe from her.


text:
But whyll he thus thought, beholde, the aungell of the Lorde appeared vnto hym in slepe, saying: Ioseph, thou sonne of Dauid: feare not to take vnto the Mary thy wyfe. For that which is conceaued in her, cometh of the holy ghost.


text:
She shall brynge forth a sonne, and thou shalt cal hys name Iesus. For he shall saue his people from theyr synnes.


text:
Behold, a mayd shalbe wt chylde, & shall bring forth a sonne, & they shall call his name Emanuel, which yf a man interpret, it is asmoch to say as God with vs.


text:
And Ioseph as sone as he awoke out of slepe, dyd as the angel of the Lorde had bydden hym: and he toke hys wyfe vnto hym,


text:
When Iesus was borne at Bethleem a cytie of Iewry, in the tyme of Herode the kynge. Beholde, there came wyse men from the east to Ierusalem,


text:
sayinge: Where is he that is borne king of Iewes? For we haue sene hys starre in the east, and are come to worshyppe hym.


text:
When Herode the kyng had hearde these thynges, he was troubled, and all the cyte of Ierusalem with hym.


text:
And whan he had gathered all the chefe prestes and scrybes of the people togeather, he demaunded of them, where Christ shulde be borne.


text:
And thou Bethleem in the lande of Iuda, art not the leest among the princes of Iuda. For oute of the shal there come vnto me the captayne, that shall gouerne my people Israel.


text:
Then Herode (when he had preuely called the wyse men) he enquyred of them diligently what tyme the starre appered,


text:
& he bad them go to Bethleem, & sayd: God your waye thither, & searche diligently for the childe. And when ye haue founde him, bryng me word agayne, that I maye come and worshyp hym also.


text:
When they had heard the kyng, they departed: and lo, the starre which they sawe in the easte, went before them, tyll it came, & stode ouer the place, wherin the chylde was.


text:
and went into the house, and found the chylde with Mary his mother & fel downe flatt and worshipped hym, and opened their treasures & offered vnto hym gyftes, golde, franckincense, & myrre.


text:
And after they were warned of God in slepe (that they shuld not go agayne to Herode) they returned into their awne countre another waye.


text:
When they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appered to Ioseph in slepe saying, aryse, & take the chyld and his mother, and flye into Egipt: and be thou there tyll I brynge the worde. For it wyll come to passe that Herode shall seke the chylde, to destroye hym.


text:
and was there vnto the deeth of Herode, that it myght be fulfylled, which was spoken of the Lorde by the prophete, sayenge: out of Egypt haue I called my sonne.


text:
Then Herode whan he sawe that he was mocked of the wyse men, he was exceading wroth, & sent forth men of warre, & slue all the chyldren that were in Bethleem, and in all the coastes, (as many as were two yeere olde or vnder) accordynge to the tyme, whych he had dilygently knowe out of the wyse men.


text:
in Rama was there a voyce herde lamentacyon, weping, and great mourninge. Rachel weping for her chyldren, & wolde not be comforted because they were not.


text:
sayenge: aryse, and take the chylde of hys mother, and go into the lande of Israell. for they are deed which sought the chyldes lyfe.


text:
But when he hearde that Arthelaus dyd raygne in Iewry, in the rowme of his father Herode, he was afrayde to go thither. Notwithstandinge, after he was warned of God in a slepe, he turned a syde into the parties of Galile,


text:
and went and dwelt in a cyte which is called Nazareth: that it might be fulfylled which was spoken by the prophetes: he shalbe called a Nazarite.


text:
For this is he, of whom the Prophete Esaye spake, which sayeth: The voyce of a cryer in the wyldernes, prepare ye the waye of the Lorde: & make hys pathes streyght.


text:
Thys Iohn had hys rayment of camels heer. And a gyrdell of a skynne about hys loynes. His meat was locustes and wylde hony.


text:
But when he sawe many of the Pharises and Saduces come to hys baptyme, he sayd vnto them: O generacion of vypers, who hath taught you to fle from the vengeaunce to come?


text:
And be not of soch mynde that ye wolde saye wtin your selues: we haue Abraham to oure father. For I saye vnto you: that God is able to bryng to passe, that of these stones ther shall ryse vp children vnto Abraham.


text:
Euen now is the axe also put vnto the rote of the trees: so that euery tree which bringeth not forth good frute, is hewen downe, and cast into the fyre.


text:
I baptyse you in water vnto repentaunce: but he that shall come after me is myghtyer then I, whose shoes I am not worthy to beare. He shall baptise you with the holy ghost and with fyre:


text:
whose fan is in hys hand, & he wyll purge hys floore, & gather his wheat into the barne, but wyll burne the chaffe wt vnquencheable fyre.


text:
Iesus answered & said vnto him: Let it be so now. For thus it becometh vs to fulfyll all ryghteousnesse. Then he suffred hym.


text:
And Iesus when he was baptised, came straight waye out of the water. And lo heuen was open vnto him: and he sawe the sprete of God descendynge lyke a doue, and lyghtyng vpon hym.


text:
And loo, there came a voyce from heauen saienge. Thys is my beloued sonne, in whom I am well pleased.


text:
And when the tempter came to hym, he sayde: yf thou be the sonne of God commaunde, that these stones be made bread:


text:
But he answered and sayde: it is wrytten, man shall not lyue by bread onlye, but by euery worde that proceadeth out of the mouth of God.


text:
and sayeth vnto him: yf thou be the sonne of God, cast thy selfe downe headling. For it is written he shall geue hys angels charge ouer the, & with their handes they shal holde the vp, lest at any tyme thou dash thy fote agaynst a stone.


text:
Agayne, the deuel taketh him vp into an exceading hye mountayne, and sheweth him all the kyngdomes of the world, and the glory of them,


text:
Then sayeth Iesus vnto hym Auoyde Satan. For it is written: Thou shalt worshyp the Lorde thy God, and hym onely shalt thou serue.


text:
and left Nazareth, and went and dwelt in Capernaum: whych is a cytie vpon the see coast; in the borders of Zabulon & Neptalim:


text:
the people which satt in darckenesse and in the shadowe of death, sawe great light: & to them which sat in the region & shadowe of death, is the light sprong vp.


text:
From that tyme, Iesus beganne to preache, and to saye: repent, for the kyngdome of heauen is at hande.


text:
As Iesus walked by the see of Galile he sawe two brethren: Symon, which was called Peter, & Andrew his brother, castyng a neet into the see (for they were fisshers)


text:
And whan he was gone forth fro thence, he sawe other two brethren, Iames the sonne of Zebede, & Iohn his brother, in the shyp wt Zebede their father, mending their nettes, & he called them.


text:
And Iesus went about all Galile, teachynge in their synagoges, & preachynge the gospel of the kingdome, and healing all maner of sycknes, & all maner of disease amonge the people.


text:
And hys fame spreed abroade throughout al Siria. And they brought vnto him all syck people that were taken with dyuers diseases and grypynges, and them that were possessed with deuyls: and those which were lunatyke, & those that had the palsye: & he healed them.


text:
And ther folowed hym great multitudes of people, from Galile, and from the ten cytes, and from Ierusalem, and from Iewry, and from the regions that lye beyonde Iordan.


text:
When he sawe the people, he went vp into a mountayne, and when he was sett, hys discyples came to him:


text:
Blessed are they which suffre persecucyon for righteousnes sake: for theirs is the kingdome of heauen.


text:
Blessed are ye, when men reuyle you, and persecute you, and shall falesy say all maner of euyll sayinge against you, for my sake.


text:
Reioyse & be glad for greate is your rewarde in heuen. For so persecuted they the prophetes, which were before you.


text:
Ye are the salt of the earth: But yf the salt haue lost the saltnes, what shalbe seasoned therwith? It is thence forth good for nothynge, but to be cast out, and to be troaden downe of men.


text:
nether do men lyght a candell, and put it vnder a busshell, but on a candelstyck, and it geueth light vnto all that are in the house.


text:
Let your light so shyne before men. That they maye se your good worckes, & gloryfy your father, which is in heauen.


text:
Thynke not that I am come to destroye the lawe, or the prophetes: no, I am not come to destroye, but to fulfyll.


text:
For truely I saye vnto you: tyll heauen and earth passe, one iott or one tytle of the lawe shal not scape, tyll all be fulfylled.


text:
Whosoeuer therfore breaketh one of these leest commaundementes, and teacheth men so, he shalbe called the leest in the kyngdome of heauen. But whosoeuer doeth and teacheth, the same shalbe called greate in the kyngdome of heauen.


text:
For I saye vnto you: except your righteousnesse exceade the ryghteousnesse of the Scribes and Pharises, ye cannot entre into the kyngdome of heauen.


text:
Ye haue heard that it was sayd vnto them of the olde tyme. Thou shalt no kyll: whosoeuer killeth, shalbe in daunger of iudgement.


text:
But I say vnto you: that whosoeuer is angrye with hys brother (vnaduysedly) shalbe in daunger of iudgement. And whosoeuer saye vnto hys brother Racha, shalbe in daunger of a councell. But whosoeuer sayeth thou foole, shalbe in daunger of hell fyre.


text:
Therfore, yf thou offrest thy gyfte at the aulter, and there remembrest that thy brother hath ought agaynst the:


text:
leaue ther thyne offringe before the aulter & go thy waye fyrst, and be reconcyled to thy brother, and then come, and offre thy gyfte.


text:
Agree with thyne aduersary quycklye whyles thou art in the waye with him, lest at any tyme the aduersary deliuer the to the iudge, and the iudge delyuer the to the mynister, and then thou be cast into preson.


text:
But I say vnto you that whosoeuer loketh on another mans wyfe to lust after her, hath commytted aduoutrye with her all ready in hys hert.


text:
Yf thy ryght eye hynder the, plucke hym out, and cast hym from the. For better it is vnto the, that one of thy membres perysshe, then that thy whole body shuld be cast into hell.


text:
And yf thy ryght hande hynder the, cutt hym of, and cast hym from the. For better it is vnto the, that one of thy membres perysshe, then that all thy body shulde be cast into hell.


text:
But I say vnto you: that whosoeuer doth put awaye his wyfe (excepte it be for fornycacyon) causeth her to breake matrymony. And whosoeuer maryeth her that is deuorsed commiteth aduoutrye.


text:
Agayne, ye haue hearde how it was sayd to them of olde tyme: thou shalt not forsweare thy selfe, but shalt perfourme vnto the Lorde those thinges that thou swearest.


text:
nor by the earth, for it is his fote stole: nether by Ierusalem, for it is the cytie of the great king:


text:
But your communicacyon shalbe, ye, ye, nay, nay: For whatsoeuer is added more then these, it commeth of euyll.


text:
But I saye vnto you, that ye resist not euell. But whosoeuer geue the a blowe on the ryght cheke, turne to hym the other also.


text:
But I saye vnto you: loue your enemyes. Blesse them that curse you. Do good to them that hate you. Praye for them which hurt you and persecute you,


text:
that ye maye be the children of your father which is in heauen: for he maketh his sonne to aryse on the euell, & on the good, & sendeth rayne on the iust & on the vniust.


text:
And yf ye make moche of your brethren only, what singuler thinge do ye? Do not also the publicans lykewise?


text:
Take heade, that ye geue not your almose in the sight of men, to the intent that ye wold be sene of them. Or els ye haue no rewarde with youre father which is in heauen.


text:
Therfore, whan thou geuest thyne almes, let not trompetes be blowen before the, as the ypocrites do in the synagoges and in the stretes: for to be praysed of men. Uerely, I saye vnto you: they haue their rewarde.


text:
that thyne almes maye be in secrete: and thy father whych seeth in secrete, shall rewarde the openly.


text:
And when thou prayest thou shalt not be as the ypocrytes are. For they vse to stand praieng in the synagoges, and in the corners of the stretes, that they maye be sene of men. Uerely, I saye vnto you: they haue theyr rewarde.


text:
But when thou prayest entre into thy chamber, & when thou hast shut thy dore praye to thy father which is in secrete: & thy father which seeth in secrete, shall rewarde the openly.


text:
But when ye praye bable not moch, as the heathen do: for they thyncke it will come to passe, that they shalbe herd for their moch bablynges sake.


text:
Be not ye therfore lyke vnto them. For youre father knoweth what thinges ye haue neade of before ye aske of him:


text:
And leade vs not into temptacyon: but delyuer vs from euyll. For thyne is the kyngdome and the power, and the glorye for euer. Amen.


text:
But yf ye wyll not forgeue men theyr trespasses, nomore shall your father forgeue you youre trespasses.


text:
Moreouer, when ye fast, be not sad as the ypocrites are. For they disfigure their faces, that it maye appeare vnto men, how that they fast. Uerely, I saye vnto you, they haue theyr rewarde.


text:
that it appere not vnto men, how that thou fastest: but vnto thy father, which is in secret: and thy father which seeth in secrete, shal rewarde the openly.


text:
Laye not vp for your selues treasure vpon earth, where the rust and mothe doth corrupte, and where theues breake through, and steale.


text:
But laye vp for you, treasures in heuen, where nether rust nor mothe doth corrupte, and where theues do not breake thorow nor steale.


text:
The light of the body is the eye. Wherfore, yf thyne eye be single, all thy body shall be full of light.


text:
But and yf thyne eye be wicked, all thy body shalbe full of darcknesse. Wherfore, yf the lyght that is in the be darcknes, how greate is that darcknes?


text:
No man can serue two masters. For ether he shal hate the one and loue the other, or els leane to the one, and despyse the other: ye cannot serue God and Mammon.


text:
Therfore I saye vnto you: be not carefull for youre lyfe, what ye shall eate or drincke, nor yet for youre bodye, what rayment ye shall put on. Is not the lyfe more worth then meat: and the body more of value then rayment?


text:
Behold, the foules of the ayer: for they sowe not, nether do they reape, nor cary into the barnes: and youre heuenly father fedeth them. Are ye not moch better then they?


text:
And why care ye for rayment? Consydre the lylies of the felde, how they growe. They laboure not, nether do they spynne.


text:
Wherfore, yf God so cloth the grasse of the felde (which though it stande to daye, is to morow cast into the fornasse) shall he not moch more do the same for you, O ye of lytle fayth?


text:
Therfore, take no thought, saying: what shall we eate, or what shall we dryncke, or wherwith shall we be clothed?


text:
after all these thynges do the gentyls seke. For youre heuenly father knoweth, that ye haue nede of all these thynges.


text:
But rather seke ye fyrst the kyngdome of God, and the ryghteousnesse therof, and al these thinges shalbe ministred vnto you.


text:
Care not then for the morow, for the morowe daye shall care for it selfe: sufficient vnto the daye, is the trauayle therof.


text:
For as ye iudge, so shall ye be iudged. And with what measure ye meate, with the same shall other men measure to you.


text:
Or how sayest thou to thy brother suffre me, I wyll plucke oute a moate out of thyne eye, and beholde, a beame is in thyne awne eye.


text:
Thou ypocryte, fyrst cast oute the beame out of thyne awne eye, and then shalt thou se clearly to plucke out the mote oute of thy brothers eye.


text:
Geue not ye that whych hys holy vnto dogges, nether cast ye youre pearles before swyne, lest they treade them vnder their fete & the other turne against you, & al to rent you.


text:
For whosoeuer asketh, receaueth: and whosoeuer seketh, fyndeth: and to hym that knocketh, it shalbe opened.


text:
If ye then (whan ye are euell) can geue youre children good gyftes, how moch more shall your father which is in heauen, geue good thynges, yf ye aske of hym?


text:
Therfore, whatsoeuer ye wolde that men shulde do to you: do ye euen so to them also. For this is the lawe and the prophetes?


text:
Enter in at the strayte gate: for wyde is the gate, and broade is the waye that leadeth to destruccion: and many there be which go in ther at.


text:
For straite is the gate, and narowe is the waye, which leadeth vnto lyfe, and fewe there be that finde it.


text:
Beware of false prophetes, which come to you in shepes clothynge, but in wardly they are rauenyng wolues.


text:
Eue so euery good tree bringeth forth good frutes. But a corrupte tree, bringeth forth euell frutes.


text:
Not euery one that sayth vnto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kyngdome of heauen: but he that doth the wyll of my father, which is in heauen.


text:
Many wyll saye to me in that daye: Lord, Lorde, haue we not prophecyed thorow thy name? And thorow thy name haue cast out deuyls? And done many miraracles thorow thy name?


text:
For whosoeuer heareth of me these wordes, & doth the same, I will lyken hym vnto a wyse man, which buylt hys house vpon a rock:


text:
and a shower of rayne descended, & the flouddes came, & the wyndes blewe, and bet vpon that house, & it fell not, because it was grounded on the rocke.


text:
And euery one that heareth of me these wordes, and doth them not shalbe likened vnto a folysh man, which built his house vpon sande:


text:
and a shower of rayne descended, and the floudes came, and the wyndes blew, and bet vpon that house, and it fell, and greate was the fall of it.


text:
And it came to passe, that when Iesus had ended these sayinges, the people were astonnyed at hys doctryne.


text:
And beholde, there came a leper, and worshypped him sayeng: Mayster, yf thou wylt, thou canst make me cleane.


text:
And Iesus put forth hys hande, and touched him sayenge: I will, be thou cleane, and immediatly hys leprosye was clensed.


text:
And Iesus sayeth vnto hym: se thou tell no man but go, & shewe thy selfe to the preste: and offre the gyfte (that Moses commaunded to be offred) for a witnes vnto them.


text:
The Centurion answered, & sayd: Syr, I am not worthy, that thou shuldest come vnder my rofe: but speake the word only, and my seruaunt shalbe healed.


text:
For I also my self am a man subiect to the aucthoryte of another, and haue soudyers vnder me, and I saye to thys man: go, & he goeth: and to another come, and he cometh, & to my seruaunt do this, and he doeth it.


text:
When Iesus herd these wordes, he marueled: and sayde to them that folowed him. Uerely, I saye vnto you: I haue not founde so greate fayth in Israell.


text:
I saye vnto you that many shall come from the east, and west, and shall rest with Abraham and Isaac and Iacob in the kyngdome of heauen:


text:
but the children of the kyngdome shalbe cast out into vtter darcknes: there shalbe weping and gnasshing of teth.


text:
And Iesus sayde vnto the Centurion: go thy waye, and as thou beleuest, so be it vnto the. And hys seruaunt was healed in the selfe same houre:


text:
And when Iesus was come into Peters house, he sawe hys wyues mother lyenge in bed, and sycke of a feuer.


text:
When the euen drue on, they brought vnto him many that were possessed with deuils. And he cast out the spretes with a worde, and healed all that were sycke,


text:
that it myght be fulfylled, which was spoken by Esay the prophete, when he sayth: He toke on hym oure infirmytes, and bare oure sycknes.


text:
When Iesus sawe moch people about him, he commaunded that they shulde go vnto the other syde of the water.


text:
And a certayne scribe (whan he was come) sayde vnto him: Master, I wil folowe the whither soeuer thou goest.


text:
And Iesus sayeth vnto him: the foxes haue holes, and the byrdes of the ayer haue nestes: but the sonne of man hath not where to reste his head.


text:
And another of the nomber of his disciples sayd vnto him: Master, suffre me first to go and bury my father.


text:
And beholde, there arose a greate tempeste in the see, in so moche that the shyppe was couered with waues, but he was a slepe.


text:
And he sayth vnto them: why are ye fearful, O ye of lytle faith? Then he arose and rebuked the wyndes and the see, and there folowed a greate calme.


text:
And when he was come to the other syde, into the countre of the Gergesites, ther met him two possessed of deuylles, which came out of the graues, and were out of measure fearce, so that no man might go by that waye.


text:
And beholde, they cryed out sayinge: O Iesu thou sonne of God what haue we to do with the? Art thou come hyther to torment vs before the tyme?


text:
So, the deuyls besought him, sayinge, yf thou cast vs out, suffre vs to go oure waye into the heerd of swyne.


text:
And he sayde vnto them: go youre wayes. Then went they out, and departed into the heerd of swyne. And beholde, the whole heerd of swyne was caried headlynge into the see, and perisshed in the waters,


text:
Then they that kepte them, fledd, and went their wayes into the cytie, and tolde euery thinge, and what had fortuned vnto the possessed of the deuyls.


text:
And beholde, the whole cytie came out to mete Iesus: and when they sawe him, they besought him that he wolde departe out of their coastes.


text:
and beholde, they brought to hym a man sicke of the palsye, lyinge in a bed. And when Iesus sawe the fayth of them, he sayd vnto the sicke of the palsye: sonne, be of good cheare, thy synnes be forgeuen the.


text:
But that ye maye knowe, that the sonne of man hath power to forgeue synnes in erth. Then sayeth he vnto the sycke of the palsye: arise, take vp thy bed, and go vnto thyne house.


text:
And as Iesus passed forth from thence, he sawe a man (named Mathew) syttynge at the receate of custome, and he sayeth vnto him: folow me.


text:
And he arose, & folowed him. And it came to passe as Iesus sat at meate in hys housse: beholde, many Publicans also and synners that came, sat downe with Iesus and his disciples.


text:
And when the Pharises sawe it, they sayde vnto his disciples: why eateth youre master with publicans and synners?


text:
But when Iesus heard that, he sayde vnto them. They that be stronge, nede not the phisicyon, but they that are sicke.


text:
Goo ye rather and learne what that meaneth. I will haue mercy, and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the ryghtewes, but synners to repentaunce.


text:
Then came the Disciples of Iohn vnto him, saying: why do we and the Pharises fast, for the most parte: but thy disciples fast not?


text:
And Iesus sayde vnto them: can the brydegromes children mourne as longe as the brydegrome is with them? But the dayes wyll come, when the brydegrome shalbe taken from them, and then shall they fast.


text:
No man putteth a pece of new cloth in an olde garment. For then taketh he awaye the pece from the garment, and the rent is made worse.


text:
Nether do men put new wyne into olde: bottels: els the bottels breake, and the wyne runneth out, and the bottels peryshe. But they putt new wyne into new bottels, and both are saued together.


text:
Whyle he thus spake vnto them, beholde, ther came a certayne ruler, & worshipped him, sayinge: my daughter is euen now diseased, but come and laye thy hand vpon her, & she shall lyue.


text:
and beholde, a woman which was diseased with an yssue of bloude twelue yeres, came behynde him, and touched the hemme of his vesture.


text:
But Iesus tourned him aboute, and whan he sawe her, he sayde. Daughter, be of good comforte, thy faith hath made the safe. And the woman was made whole, euen that same tyme.


text:
he sayde vnto them: get you hence, for the mayde is not deed but slepeth. And they laughed him to scorne.


text:
And whan Iesus departed thence, two blynde men folowed him, cryinge & sayinge: O thou sonne of Dauid, haue mercy on vs:


text:
And when he was come into the house, the blynde came to him. And Iesus sayeth vnto them: Beleue ye, that I am able to do this? They saye vnto him: Lord, we beleue.


text:
And whan the deuyll was cast out, the domme spake. And the people merueyled, sayinge: it was neuer so sene in Israell.


text:
And Iesus went about all cyties & townes, teachinge in their synagoges, and preachinge the glad tydinges of the kyngdome, and healinge euery sicknes and euery disease amonge the people.


text:
But when he sawe the people: he was moued with compassion on them, because they were destitute, and scattered abroade, euen as shepe hauynge no shepherde,


text:
And whan his .xij. disciples were called vnto him, he gaue them power agaynst vncleane spretes, to cast them out, and to heale all maner of syckenesse, and all maner of dysease.


text:
The names of the .xij. Apostles are these The fyrst, Symon which is called Peter: and Andrew his brother: Iames the sonne of Zebedee, and Iohn his brother:


text:
Philip & Bartholomew: Thomas and Mathew, which had bene a Publican. Iames the sonne of Alphe, and Lebbeus (whose syrname was Taddeus)


text:
Iesus sent forth these twelue in nombre, whom he commaunded, saying. Go not into the waye of the gentyls, and into the cytie of the Samaritans enter ye not.


text:
Heale the sycke, clense the lepers, rayse the deed, cast out deuyls. Frely ye haue receaued: geue frely.


text:
nor yet scrip towardes your iorney: nether two cotes, nether shoes, nor yet a rodde. For the worckman is worthy of his meate.


text:
But to whatsoeuer cytie or towne ye shall come, enquyre who is worthy in it, and there abyde tyll ye go thence.


text:
And yf the house be worthy, let youre peace come vpon it. But yf it be not worthy, let youre peace retourne to you agayne.


text:
And whosoeuer shall not receaue you, nor wyll heare youre preachynge: when ye departe oute of that house or that cytie shake of the duste of youre fete.


text:
Uerely I saye vnto you: it shalbe easier for the land of Zodoma and Gomorra in the daye of iudgement, then for that cytie.


text:
Beholde, I sende you forth, as shepe among wolues. Be ye therfore wyse as serpentes and innocent as doues.


text:
But beware of men, for they shall delyuer you vp to the councels, and shall scourge you in their synagoges.


text:
And ye shall be brought to the heed rulers, and kynges, for my sake, in wytnes to them and to the gentyls.


text:
But when they delyuer you vp, take ye no thought, how or what ye shall speake: for it shalbe geuen you, euen in that same houre what ye shall speake.


text:
The brother shall delyuer vp the brother to deeth, & the father the sonne. And the children shal aryse agaynst their fathers and mothers, and shall put them to deeth:


text:
But when they persecute you in this cytie, flye ye into another. For verely I saye vnto you: ye shall not go thorowe all the cyties of Israell tyll the sonne of man be come.


text:
It is ynough for the disciple, that he be as his master is, and that the seruaunt be as his Lorde is. If they haue called the Lord of the house, Beelzebub: how moche more shal they call them of his householde so?


text:
Feare them not therfore. For there is nothing closse, that shall not be opened: and nothynge hyd, that shall not be knowen.


text:
What I tel you in darknes, that speake ye in lyght. And what ye heare in the eare, that preache ye on the house toppes.


text:
And feare ye not them which kyll the body but are not able to kyll the soule. But rather feare him, which is able to destroye both soule and body into hell.


text:
Are not two lytle sparowes sold for a farthyng? And one of them shall not lyght on the grounde with out youre father.


text:
Euery one therfore that shall knowledge me before men, him will I knowledge also before my father which is in heauen.


text:
For I am come to set a man at variaunce agaynst his father, & the daughter agaynst her mother, & the daughter in lawe agaynst her mother in lawe.


text:
He that loueth father, or mother more then me, is not worthy of me. And he that loueth sonne or daughter more then me, is not worthy of me.


text:
He that receaueth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shal receaue a prophetes rewarde. And he that receaueth a ryghteous man, in the name of a ryghteous man, shall receaue a righteous mans rewarde:


text:
And whosoeuer shall geue vnto one of these lytle ones to dryncke, a cuppe of colde water onely (in the name of a disciple) verely I saye vnyou, he shall not lose his rewarde.


text:
And it came to passe, that when Iesus had made an ende of commaunding his twelue disciples he departed thence, to teache and to preache in theyr cyties,


text:
The blynd receaue their sight: the lame walke, the lepers are clensed: and the deef heare, the deed are raysed vp, & the poore receaue the glad tidinges of the gospell.


text:
And as they departed, Iesus beganne to saye vnto the people concerning Iohn. What went ye out into the wyldernes to se? A rede that is shaken with the wynde?


text:
Or what went ye out for to se? A man clothed in softe rayment? Beholde: they that weare softe clothing: are in kinges houses.


text:
For this is he, of whom it is wrytten. Beholde, I sende my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy waye before the.


text:
Uerely I saye vnto you: amonge them that are borne of wemen, arose not a greater then Iohn the Baptist. Not withstandinge he that is lesse: in the Kyngdome of heauen is gretter then he.


text:
From the dayes of Iohn Baptist vntill this daye, the kyngedom of heuen suffreth violence, and the violent plucke it vnto them.


text:
But wher vnto shall I lyken thys generacion? It is like vnto chyldren, which syt in the market places, and call vnto their felowes,


text:
and saye: we haue pyped vnto you, and ye haue not daunsed: We haue mourned vnto you & ye haue not sorowed.


text:
The sonne of man came eatyng and drynckyng, and they saye, beholde a glutton, & an vnmeasurable dryncker of wyne: and a frende vnto publicans and synners. And wisdome is iustifyed of her chyldren.


text:
Then began he to vpbrayd the cyties which most of hys miracles were done in, because they repented not of their synnes.


text:
Wo vnto the Chorasin: Wo vnto the Bethsaida: for yf the miracles which were shewed in you, had bene done in the cytie of Tyre or Sidon, they had repented of their synnes longe agon in sack cloth and asshes.


text:
Neuerthelesse I saye vnto you: it shall be easier for Tyre & Sidon at the daye of iudgement, then for you.


text:
And thou Capernaum, which art lyft vp vnto heuen, shalt be brought downe to hell. For yf the miracles which haue bene done in the, had bene shewed in Zodom: they had remayned vntill this daye.


text:
Neuerthelesse, I saye vnto you: that it shalbe easier for the land of Zodom in the daye of iudgement, then for the.


text:
At that tyme Iesus answered and sayde: I thanke the O father, Lord of heauen & erth, because thou hast hid these thinges from the wyse and prudent, and hast shewed them vnto babes,


text:
All thinges are geuen ouer vnto me of my father. And noman knoweth the sonne but the father: nether knoweth eny man the father, saue the sonne, and he to whomsoeuer the sonne will open him.


text:
Take my yock vpon you, and lerne of me, for I am meke & lowly in herte: and ye shall fynde rest vnto youre soules.


text:
At that tyme Iesus went on the Sabboth dayes thorowe the corne, and hys discyples were an hongred, and beganne to plucke the eares of corne, and to eate.


text:
But when the Pharises sawe it, they sayde vnto hym: Beholde, thy discyples do that which is not lawfull to do vpon the Sabboth daye.


text:
But he sayde vnto them. Haue ye not read what Dauid dyd, when he was an hongred, & they that were with him?


text:
How he entred into the house of God, and did eate the shewe breades which were not lawfull for hym to eate, nether for them which were with hym, but onely for the prestes?


text:
Or haue ye not read in the lawe, how that (on the Sabath dayes) the preastes in the temple breake the Saboth, and are blamelesse?


text:
Wherfore, yf ye wyst what this meaneth I require mercy, & not sacrifice: ye wolde not haue condemned innocentes.


text:
and beholde, ther was a man which had his hande dried vp. And they asked hym, sayinge is it lawfull to heale vpon the Saboth dayes? that they myght accuse him.


text:
And he sayde vnto them: which of you will it be, that shall haue. a shepe, and yf it fall into a pytte on the Saboth daye, wyl he not take it and lyft it out?


text:
Howe moch more then is a man better then a shepe? Wherfore, it is lefull to do a good dede on the Saboth dayes.


text:
Then sayeth he to the man: stretch forth thy hande. And he stretched it forth: And it was restored vnto health, lyke as the other.


text:
Beholde, my childe, whom I haue chosen, my beloued, in whom my soule deliteth. I wyll put my sprete vpon him, and he shall shewe iudgement to the gentyls.


text:
a brosed rede shall he not breake, and smokyng flax shall he not quenche, till he sende forth iudgement vnto victorie,


text:
Then was brought to him a blynd & domme man, that was vexed with a deuyll, & he healed him, in somoch, that the blynd and domme, both spake and sawe.


text:
But when the Pharises hearde it, they sayd. This felow dryueth the deuyls no nother wyse out, but by the helpe of Belzebub the chefe of the deuyls.


text:
But whan Iesus knewe their thoughtes he sayde vnto them: Euery kingdome deuided agaynst it selfe, shalbe brought to naught. And euery citie or house deuyded agaynst it selfe shall not stande.


text:
And yf Satan cast out Satan, then is he deuided agaynst him selfe how shall then his kingdome endure?


text:
Also, yf I by the helpe of Belzebub cast out deuyls, by whose helpe do youre chyldren cast them out? Therfore, they shalbe your iudges.


text:
Or els how can one enter into a strong mannes house, and spoyle his Iewels, excepte he fyrst bynde the stronge man, and then spoyle his house?


text:
Wherfore, I saye vnto you, all maner of synne and blasphemy shalbe forgeuen vnto men but the blasphemy agaynst the sprete, shall not be forgeuen vnto men.


text:
And whosoeuer speaketh a worde agaynst the sonne of man, it shalbe forgeuen hym. But whosoeuer speaketh agaynst the holy gost, it shall not be forgeuen him, nether in this worlde, nether in the worlde to come:


text:
Ether make the tree good, and his frute good, or els make the tree euyll, and hys frute euyll. For the tree is knowen by his frute.


text:
O generacion of vypers, how can ye speake good thinges, when ye youre selues are euyll? For out of the aboundance of the hert, the mouth speaketh.


text:
A good man out of the good treasure of the hert, bryngeth forth good thynges. And an euyll man, out of euyll treasure, bringeth forth euyll thynges.


text:
But I say vnto you, of euery ydell worde that men shall haue spoken, they shall geue acountes in the daye of iudgement.


text:
Then certayne of the Scribes and of the Pharises asked him saying. Master, we wyll se a sygne of the.


text:
But he answered and sayde to them. The euyll and aduouterous generacion seketh a signe and ther shall no sygne be geuen to them, but the signe of the Prophet Ionas.


text:
For as Ionas was thre dayes and thre nightes in the whales belly, so shall the sonne of man be thre dayes and thre nightes in the herte of the erth.


text:
The men of niniue shall ryse in the iudgement with this nacion, & condemne it, because they amended at the preachyng of Ionas. Beholde, here is one greater then Ionas.


text:
The quene of the south shall rise in the iudgement with this generacion, and shall condemne it: for she came from the vtmost partes of the worlde to heare the wysdome of Salomon. And behold, in this place is one greater then Salomon.


text:
When the vnclene spryte is gone out of a man, he walketh throughout drye places, sekyng rest, and findeth none.


text:
Then he saieth: I will retourne into my house, from whence I came out. And when he is come, he fyndeth it empty, and swepte, and garnisshed.


text:
Then goeth he, and taketh vnto him seuen other spretes worse then him selfe, and so entreth he in, and dwelleth there. And the ende of that man is worse then the begynning. Euen so shall it be also, vnto this froward generacion.


text:
Whyle he yet talked to the people: beholde his mother and his brethren stode without, desyringe to speake with him.


text:
Then one sayde vnto him beholde, thy mother and thy brethren stande without, desyringe to speake with the:


text:
For whosoeuer doth the will of my father which is in heauen, the same is my brother, syster, and mother.


text:
and moche people were gathered together vnto him, so gretly that he went, and sat in a shippe, and all the people stode on the shore.


text:
Some fell vpon stony places, where they had not moche erth, and anone they spronge vp, because they had no depnesse of erth:


text:
But some fell into good ground, & brought forth frute: some an hundred folde, some syxtie folde, some thyrtie folde.


text:
He answered and sayde vnto them: it is geuen vnto you to knowe the secretes of the kyngdome of heauen, but to them it is not geuen.


text:
For whosoeuer hath, to him shall be geuen: and he shall haue aboundaunce. But whosoeuer hath not: from him shalbe taken awaye euen that also which he hath.


text:
Therfore speake I to them by similitude: for they seinge, se not: and hearinge, they heare not: nother do they vnderstand.


text:
And in them is fulfylled the prophecie of Esaias, which sayth: with the eares ye shall heare, and shall not vnderstand and seinge ye shall se, and shall not perceaue.


text:
For these peoples hertes is wexed grosse, and their eares are dull of hearynge, and theyr eyes haue they closed, lest at any tyme they shuld se with their eyes, and heare with their eares, & shuld understand with their herte, & be conuerted, that I also myght heale them.


text:
Uerely I saye vnto you, that many prophetes & righteous men haue desyred to se those thinges which ye se, & haue not sene them: & to heare those thinges which ye heare, and haue not hearde them.


text:
Whan one heareth the word of the kingdome, & understandeth it not, then commeth the euyll man, & taketh awaye that which was sowen in hys hert: thys is he, which was sowne by the waye syde.


text:
But he that receaued the sede which was cast into stony places, the same is he that heareth the worde, and anone with ioye receaueth it,


text:
yet hath he no rote in hym selfe, but dureth for a season: for whan tribulacyon or persecucyon happeneth because of the worde, by and by he falleth.


text:
He also that receaued sede into the thornes, is he that heareth the worde: and the care of this worlde, and the dissaytfulnes of ryches, choke vp the worde, and so is he made vnfrutefull.


text:
But he that receaued sede into the good ground is he that heareth the worde, and vnderstandeth it: which also beareth frute, & bringeth forth, some an hundred folde, some syxtie folde, some thyrtye folde.


text:
Another similitude put he forth vnto them, sayinge: The kyngdome of heauen is lykened vnto a man, which sowed good seed in his felde.


text:
So the seruauntes of the housholder came, and sayde vnto him. Syr, dyddest not thou sowe good seed in thy felde? from whence then hath it tares?


text:
He sayde vnto them, the enuious man hath done this. The seruauntes sayde vnto him: wylt thou then that we go, and wede them vp?


text:
let bothe growe together vntill the haruest, and in tyme of haruest, I wyll saye to the repers gather ye fyrst the tares, and bynde them together in sheues to be brent: but gather the wheate into my barne.


text:
Another parable put he forth vnto them, sayinge. The kyngdome of heauen is lyke to a grayne of mustard seed, which a man toke & sowed in his felde,


text:
which is the leest of all seedes. But when it is growne, it is the greatest among herbes, and is a tree: so that the byrdes of the ayer come, and make theyr nestes in the braunches therof.


text:
Another similitude spake he vnto them: The kyngdom of heauen is lyke vnto leuen, which a woman taketh and hydeth in thre peckes of meale, tyll all be leuened.


text:
All these thinges spake Iesus vnto the people by similitudes, & with out a parable spake he nothynge vnto them,


text:
that it myght be fulfylled, which was spoken by the prophet, that sayth I will open my mouth in parables: I wyll speake forth thynges which haue bene kepte secrete from the begynning of the world.


text:
When the people were sent awaye, then came Iesus into the house. And his disciples came vnto him, saying: declare vnto vs the parable of the tares of the felde.


text:
The feld is the worlde. And the chyldren of the kyngdome, they are the good seed: the tares are the chyldren of the wycked:


text:
the enemie that soweth them, is the deuyll. The haruest is the ende of the worlde: the reapers be the Angels.


text:
Euen as the tares therfore, are gathered & brent in the fyre: so shall it be in the ende of this worlde.


text:
The sonne of man shall sende forth his Angels, & they shall gather out of his kyngdome all thinges that offende, and them which do iniquite:


text:
Then shall the righteous shine as the Sonne in the kyngdom of their father. Whosoeuer hath eares to heare, let him heare.


text:
Agayne, the kyngdom of heauen is lyke vnto treasure hid in the felde, the which a man hath found and hydd: and for ioye therof goeth & selleth all that he hath, & byeth the felde.


text:
Agayne, the kyngdom of heauen is lyke vnto a nett, that was cast into the see & geathered of all kynde


text:
which when it was full men drewe to land, & sat downe & geathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad awaye.


text:
So shall it be at the ende of the worlde. The angelles shall come & seuer the bad from amonge the good,


text:
Then sayde he vnto them. Therfore euery Scribe which is taught vnto the kyngedome of heauen, is lyke vnto a man that is an housholder, which bryngeth forth out of his treasure, thinges newe and olde.


text:
And whan he came into his awne countre, he taught them in their synagoges, in so moch, that they were astonnied and sayde: whence commeth this wysdome and powers vnto to him?


text:
is not this the carpenters sonne? Is not hys mother called Mary? and hys brethren, Iames and Ioses and Simon and Iudas?


text:
And they were offended at hym. Iesus sayde vnto them: A prophete is not without honoure, saue in his awne countre, and in hys awne house.


text:
& sayde vnto his seruauntes: this is Iohn the Baptist. He is rysen from the deed, & therfore are miracles wrought by him.


text:
For Herode had taken Iohn, & bound him, & put him in preson because of Herodias, his brother Philips wyfe.


text:
And when he wolde haue put hym to deeth, he feared the people, because they counted him as a prophet.


text:
But when Herodes byrth daye was kepte, the daughter of Herodias daunsed before them, & pleased Herode.


text:
And she beynge instructe of her mother before, sayde: geue me here Iohn Baptistes heed in a platter.


text:
And the kynge was sory. Neuerthelesse, for the othes sake, & them which sate also at the table, he commaunded it to be geuen her:


text:
When Iesus hearde of it, he departed thence in a shyppe vnto a desert place, out of the waye. And when the people had harde therof, they folowed him on fote and left the cyties.


text:
And Iesus went forth, & sawe moch people, and was moued with mercy toward them, and he healed of them those that were sycke.


text:
And when the euen drewe on, his disciples came to him, saying: this is a deserte place, & the houre is now past, let the people departe, that they maye go into the townes, and bye them vytaylles.


text:
And he commaunded the people to syt downe on the grasse, & he toke the .v. loues & the .ij. fysshes, and lyft vp hys eyes toward heauen & blessed. And whan he had broken them, he gaue the loaues to hys disciples, & his discyples gaue them to the people.


text:
And they dyd all eate, and were suffysed. And they gathered vp (of the fragmentes that remayned.) .xij. basketesfull.


text:
And streyght waye Iesus made his disciples to get vp into a shippe, and to goo before him vnto the other syde whill he sent the people awaye.


text:
And when the people were sent awaye, he went vp into a mountayne to praye alone. And when night was come, he was there him selfe alone.


text:
But the shippe was now in the myddes of the see, & was toost wyth waues, for it was a contrary wynde.


text:
And when the disciples sawe hym walkynge on the see, they were troubled, sayinge: it is some sprite, & they cryed out for feare.


text:
And he sayde, come. And when Peter was come doune out of the shippe, he walked on the water, to go to Iesus.


text:
But when he sawe a myghty wynde, he was afrayed. And when he beganne to syncke, he cryed sayinge: lorde saue me.


text:
And immediatly Iesus stretched forth his hand, & caught him, & sayd vnto him: O thou of lytell fayth, wherfore dyddest thou dout?


text:
Then they that were in the shyppe, came and worshypped hym, sayinge: of a truthe thou art the sonne of God.


text:
And when the men of the place had knowledge of him, they sent out messaungers into all that countre rounde about the coast & brought vnto him all that were sycke,


text:
& besought hym, that they myght touche the hemme of his vesture only. And as many as touched it were made safe.


text:
why do thy disciples transgresse the tradicion of the elders? for they washe not theyr handes when they eate bread.


text:
But he answered & sayde vnto them: why do ye also transgresse the commaundement of God, because of youre awne tradicion:


text:
For God commaundeth sayinge: honoure father and mother, and he that cursseth father or mother: let hym dye the deeth.


text:
But ye saye: euery one shall saye to his father and mother: what gift so euer shulde haue come of me, the same is turned vnto thy profyt: & so shall he not honoure his father or his mother.


text:
This people draweth nye vnto me with theyr mouth, and honoureth me with lyppes, howbeit, their hertes are farre from me:


text:
That whych goeth into the mouth, defyleth not the man: but that which commeth out of the mouth, defyleth the man.


text:
Then came his disciples, and sayde vnto him: knowest thou not, that the Pharises were offended at this saying?


text:
But he answered and sayd. Euery plante which my heauenly father hath not planted, shalbe plucked vp by the rotes.


text:
Let them alone, they be the blynde leaders of the blynde. If the blynde leade the blynde, both shall fall into the dyche.


text:
do not ye yet vnderstande, that whatsoeuer entreth in at the mouth, goeth into the bely, & is cast out into the draught?


text:
For out of the herte proceade euill thoughtes; murders, breakynge of wedlocke, whordoms, theftes, falsewitnesse, blasphemies.


text:
These are the thinges, which defyle a man. But to take meate wt vnwasshen handes, defileth not a man.


text:
& beholde, a woman of Canaan (which cam out of the same coastes) cryed vnto him, sayinge: haue mercy on me o Lorde, thou sonne of Dauid: My daughter is pyteously vexed wyth a deuyll.


text:
But he answered her nothing at all, & his disciples came, and besought him, sayinge: sende her awaye, for she crieth after vs:


text:
She answered & sayde: truthe Lorde, for the dogges eate of the crommes, which fall from their masters table.


text:
Then Iesus answered and sayde vnto her. O woman, greate is thy faith, be it vnto the, euen as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole euen at that same tyme.


text:
And Iesus went awaye from thence, and cam nye vnto the see of Galile, & went vp into a mountayne, & sat doune there.


text:
And moche people came vnto him, bringing wt them those that were lame, blind, deafe, maymed, and other many: & cast them downe at Iesus fete And he healed them:


text:
in so moch, that the people wondered, whan they sawe the domme speake, the maymed to be whole, the lame to walke, and the blynde to se. And they glorified the God of Israel.


text:
Then Iesus called his disciples vnto him, & sayde: I haue compassyon on the people, because they continue with me nowe .iii. dayes, & haue nothing to eate: & I will not let them departe fastynge, lest they myscary by the waye.


text:
And his disciples saye vnto him whence shulde we get so moche bread in the wyldernes, as to suffyse so greate a multitude?


text:
and toke the seuen loaues, & the fysshes: & after that he had geuen thankes, he brake them, and gaue to his disciples, & the discyples gaue them to the people.


text:
And they dyd all eate, and were suffysed. And they toke vp (of the broken meate that was lefte) seuen baskettes full.


text:
The Pharises also wt the Saduces, came and tempted him & desyred him that he wolde shewe them a sygne from heuen.


text:
He answered and sayde vnto them: whan it begynneth to drawe toward euen, ye saye, it wylbe fayre wether, for the skye is reed?


text:
And in the mornynge: It wylbe foule wether to daye, for the skye is glowmyng reed. O ye ypocrites, ye can discerne the outward appearaunce of the skye: but can ye not discerne the sygnes of the tymes?


text:
The frowarde & aduoutrous nacyon requyreth a sygne, and there shall no sygne be geuen vnto it, but the sygne of the Prophet Ionas. And he lefte them, and departed.


text:
And when his disciples were come to the other syde of the water, they had forgotten to take breed with them.


text:
Which whan Iesus vnderstode, he sayd vnto them: O ye of lytell faith, why take ye thought within your selues, because ye haue brought no breed?


text:
Do ye not yet perceaue, nether remember those .v. loaues, when there were .v.M. men, & how many baskettes toke ye vp?


text:
how happeneth it that ye do not vnderstande, that I spake it not vnto you concernyng breed, that ye shulde beware of the leuen of the Pharises, & of the Saduces?


text:
Then vnderstode they, how that he bad not them beware of the leuen of breed: but of the doctrine of the Pharises, and of the Saduces.


text:
When Iesus cam into the coastes of the cite which is called Cesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples sayinge whom do men saye that I the sonne of man am?


text:
They sayde: some saye that thou art Iohn Baptist, some Helyas, some Ieremias, or one of the nombre of the prophetes.


text:
And Iesus answered, & sayde vnto hym: happy art thou Simon the sonne of Ionas, for fleshe & bloud hath not opened that vnto the but my father which is in heuen.


text:
And I saye also vnto the that thou art Peter: & vpon this rocke I wil bylde my congregacion. And the gates of hell shal not preuayle agaynst it.


text:
And I wil geue vnto the, the keyes of the kyngdom of heuen: And whatsoeuer thou byndest in erth, shall be bounde in heuen: & whatsoeuer thou loosest in erth, shalbe lowsed in heuen.


text:
From that tyme forth beganne Iesus to shewe vnto his disciples, how that he must go vnto Ierusalem, & suffer many thinges of the elders, & hye Prestes, & Scribes, & must be kylled, and be raysed agayne the thyrde daye.


text:
And when Peter had taken him asyde, he began to rebuke him, saying: master, fauer thy selfe, this shal not happen vnto the:


text:
but he turned him aboute, and sayde vnto Peter: go after me Satan, thou hyndrest me: for thou sauourest not the thinges that be of God, but those that be of men.


text:
Then sayde Iesus vnto his disciples: If eny man wil folowe me, let him forsake him selfe & take vp his crosse, & folowe me


text:
For whoso wil saue his lyfe, shall loose it. Agayne, whoso doth lose his life for my sake, shall fynde it.


text:
For what doth it proffet a man, yf he wynne all the whole worlde: & lose hys awne soule? Or what shal a man geue to redeme his soule agayne with all?


text:
For the sonne of man shall come in the glory of his father, wt his angels: & then shall he rewarde euery man accordinge to his dedes.


text:
Uerely I saye vnto you, ther be stondinge here, which shall not tast of deeth, tyll they se the sonne of man come in hys kyngdome.


text:
And after .vi. dayes, Iesus taketh Peter, Iames and Iohn hys brother, and bringeth them vp into an hye mountaine out of the waye,


text:
and was transfygured before them and hys face dyd shyne as the sonne, and hys clothes were as whyte as the lygh


text:
Then answered Peter, and sayde vnto Iesus, Lorde, here is good beinge for vs. If thou wylt, let vs make here .iij. tabernacles: one for the, and one for Moses, and one for Helias.


text:
Whyle he yet spake, behold, a bright cloude shadowed them And beholde, there came a voyce out of the cloude whych sayd this is my beloued sonne in whom I delyte heare hym.


text:
And whan they came downe from the mountayne, Iesus charged them saying: shew the vysion to no man, vntyll the sonne of man be rysen agayne from the deed.


text:
But I saye vnto you, that Helias is come already, & they knewe him not: but haue done vnto hym whatsoeuer they lusted. In lykewyse shal also the sonne of man suffre of them.


text:
And when they were come to the people, ther came to him a certayne man knelyng downe to him, & sayeng:


text:
Master, haue mercy on my sonne, for he is lunatike & sore vexed, for oft tymes he falleth into the fyre, & oft into the water,


text:
Iesus answered & sayd: O faythles & croked nacion: how longe shall I be with you? how longe shall I suffre you? bring hym hyther.


text:
And Iesus rebuked the deuyll, & he departed out of him. And the chylde was healed euen that same tyme.


text:
Iesus sayd vnto them: Because of youre vnbelefe. For verely I saye vnto you: yf ye haue fayth as a grayne of musterd seed, ye shall saye vnto this mountayne: remoue hence to yonder place, and it shall remoue: nether shal eny thinge be vnpossible vnto you.


text:
While they were occupyed in Galile Iesus sayde vnto them: it wyll come to passe that the sonne of man shalbe betrayed into the handes of men,


text:
And when they were come to the cytie of Capernaum, they that vse to receaue tribute money, cam to Peter, & sayd: Doth your master paye trybute?


text:
He sayeth: yee. And when he was come into the house, Iesus preuented hym saying. What thinkest thou Simon? of whom do the kynges of the erth take trybute or toll, Of theyr chyldren, or of straungers?


text:
Not withstonding, lest we shuld offende them, go thou to the see, & cast an angle, & take the fysh that fyrst commeth vp: & when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt fynde a pece of twentie pence: that take, & geue it vnto them for me & the.


text:
At the same tyme came the disciples vnto Iesus, sayinge: who is the greatest in the kyngdom of heauen?


text:
& sayd: Uerely I saye vnto you except ye turne, & become as chyldren, ye shall not enter into the kyngdom of heauen.


text:
Whosoeuer therfore humbleth him selfe, as this childe, the same is the greatest in the kyngdom of heauen.


text:
But whoso doth offende one of these lytleons whych beleue in me: it were better for hym, that a mylstone were hanged aboute hys necke, & that he were drowned in the depth of the see.


text:
Wo vnto the worlde because of offences. Necessary it is that offences come: But wo vnto the man, by whom the offence commeth.


text:
Wherfore yf thy hande or thy fote hinder the, cut him of & cast it from the. It is better for the to enter into lyfe halt or maymed, rather then thou shuldest (hauinge two handes or two fete) be cast into euerlastyng fyre.


text:
And yf thyne eye offende the, plucke it oute, and caste it from the. It is better for the to enter into lyfe wt one eye, rather then (hauyng two eyes) to be cast into hell fyre.


text:
Take hede: that ye despyse not one of these lytelones. For I saye vnto you, that in heauen their angels do alwayes beholde the face of my father, whych is in heauen.


text:
How thynke ye If a man haue an hundred shepe, & one of them be gone astray, doth he not leaue nynty & nyne in the mountains, & goeth & seketh that was gone astraye?


text:
And If it happen that he fynd it, verely I saye vnto you: he reioyseth more of that shepe then of the nynti & nyne which went not astray.


text:
Moreouer yf thy brother treaspace agaynst the, go & tell hym hys faute betwene him & the alone. If he heare the, thou hast wonne thy brother:


text:
But yf he heare the not, then take yet wyth the one or two, that in the mouth of two or .iij. witnesses, euery mater may be stablysshed.


text:
If he heare not them, tell it vnto the congregacyon. If he heare not the congregacion let him be vnto the as anhethen man & as a publican.


text:
Uerely I saye vnto you: whatsoeuer ye bynde on erth, shalbe bounde in heauen. And whatsoeuer ye lose on erth, shalbe lowsed in heauen.


text:
Agayne I saye vnto you that yf two of you agree in erthe vpon eny maner a thynge, whatsoeuer they desyre: they shall haue it of my father which is in heauen.


text:
Then came Peter to hym, & sayde: Lorde howe oft shall I forgeue my brother, yf he synne agaynst me: Tyll seuen tymes?


text:
Therfore is the kyngdom of heauen lykened vnto a certaine man that was a king, which wolde take acountes of hys seruauntes.


text:
but forasmoch as he was not able to paye, his Lord commaunded him to be solde, & hys wyfe & chyldren, & all that he had, and payment to be made.


text:
The seruaunt fell doune, & & be sought him, saying: Syr, haue pacience wt me, and I wyll paye the all.


text:
So the same seruaunt, went out, & founde out of hys felowes which ought him an hundred pence: & he layed handes on hym, & toke him by the throte, saying: paye that thou owest.


text:
So, when his felowes sawe what was done, they were very sory, and came, & tolde vnto their Lord all that had happened.


text:
Then his Lord called hym & sayd vnto hym: O thou vngracyous seruaunt, I forgaue the all that det, whan thou desyredst me:


text:
And hys Lorde was wrooth, & delyuered him to the iaylers, tyll he shuld paye all that was due vnto hym.


text:
So lyke wyse shall my heauenly father do also vnto you yf ye from youre hertes, forgeue not (euery one his brother) theyr trespases.


text:
And it came to passe that when Iesus had fynisshed these sayinges, he gat hym from Galile, & came into the coastes of Iewry beyonde Iordan,


text:
The Pharises also came vnto him temptinge him, & saying vnto him: Is it lawfull for a man to make a deuorcement wt his wyfe for any maner of cause?


text:
He answered & sayd vnto them: Haue ye not red, how that he which made man at the begynnynge made them man & woman:


text:
& sayd, for thys cause shall a man leaue father & mother, & shall cleue vnto hys wyfe, & they twayne shalbe one flesshe.


text:
Wherfore now, they are not twayne, but one flesshe. Let not man therfore put a sunder, that whych God hath coupled together.


text:
They saye vnto hym: why dyd Moses then commaunde to geue a testimoniall of dyuorsement, & to put her awaye?


text:
He sayde vnto them: Moses (because of the hardnes of youre hertes) suffered you to put awaye youre wyfes: But from the beginnyng it was not so.


text:
I saye vnto you: whosoeuer putteth awaye his wyfe (except it be for fornicacion) & marieth another, breaketh wedlocke. And whoso marieth her whych is deuorsed, doeth commyt aduoutry.


text:
for ther are some chaste whych are so borne out of their mothers wombe. And ther are some chaste, which be made chaste of men. And ther be chaste, which haue made them selues chaste for the kyngdome of heuens sake. He that can comprehende it, let him comprehend it.


text:
Then were there brought vnto hym yonge chyldren, that he shuld put hys handes on them, & praye. And the disciples rebuked them.


text:
But Iesus sayde vnto them: suffre the chyldren & forbid them not to come vnto me: for of soch is the kyngdom of heauen.


text:
And beholde, one came, & sayd vnto him: good master, what good thynge shall I do that I maye haue eternall lyfe?


text:
He sayd vnto him: why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, & that is God. But yf thou wilt entre into lyfe, kepe the commaundementes.


text:
He sayeth vnto hym. Whych? Iesus sayde Thou shalt not commit manslaughter. Thou shalt not commyt aduoutrye: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes:


text:
Iesus sayd vnto hym, yf thou wilt be perfecte go & sell that thou hast, & geue to the poore, & shall haue treasure in heauen, & come & folowe me.


text:
Then Iesus sayd vnto his disciples: Uerely I say vnto you: it shalbe harde for the ryche to enter into the kingdom of heauen.


text:
And agayne I saye vnto you: it is easyer for a camell to go through the eye of a nedle, then for the ryche to enter into the kyngdom of God.


text:
But Iesus behelde them, and sayd vnto them: wyth men this is vnpossyble but wt God all thynges are possyble.


text:
Then answered Peter, & sayd vnto him: Beholde we haue forsaken all, and folowed the, what shall we haue therfore?


text:
Iesus sayd vnto them: verely I saye vnto you: that when the sonne of man shall syt in the seate of hys maiestye, ye that haue folowed me in there generacyon shall syt also vpon .xij. seates, & iudge the .xij. trybes of Israel.


text:
And euery one that forsaketh house, or brethren, or systers, or father, or mother, or wyfe, or chyldren, or landes, for my names sake, shall receaue an hundred folde, & shall inheret euerlastynge lyfe.


text:
For the kyngdom of heauen is lyke vnto a man that is an housholder, whych went out early in the mornyng to hyer labourers into hys vyneyard.


text:
And whan the agrement was made wyth the labourers for a peny a daye, he sent them into hys vineyarde.


text:
& sayde vnto them: go ye also into the vineyarde: & whatsoeuer is ryght, I wyll geue you. And they went theyr waye.


text:
And aboute the eleuenth houre he went out, & founde other standynge ydell, & sayd vnto them: Why stande ye here all the daye ydell?


text:
They saye vnto hym because no man hath hyred vs. He sayeth vnto them: go ye also into the vineyarde: & whatsoeuer is ryght, that shall ye receaue.


text:
So, when euen was come, the Lord of the vineyarde sayeth vnto his steward: call the labourers, & geue them their hyer, begynnyng at the laste vntill the fyrst.


text:
But whan the fyrst came also, they supposed that they shuld haue receaued more, & they lykewyse receaued euery man a peny.


text:
sayinge: These last haue wrought but one houre, & thou hast made them equall vnto vs, which haue borne the burthen & heat of the day.


text:
But he answered vnto one of them & sayde: frende, I do the no wronge: dydest thou not agre wt me for a penny?


text:
Is it not lawfull for me to do as me lysteth wt myne awne goodes? Is thyne eye euyll, because I am good?


text:
Beholde, we go vp to Ierusalem, & the sonne of man shalbe betrayed vnto the chefe Prestes, & vnto the Scribes, & they shall condemne hym to deeth,


text:
& shall delyuer hym to the gentyls, to be mocked and to be scourged, and to be crucifyed: and the thyrde daye he shall ryse agayne.


text:
Then came to him the mother of Zebedes chyldren, wt her sonnes, worshyppyng him & desyryng a certaine thynge of him.


text:
And he sayeth vnto her, what wilt thou? She sayde vnto him: Graunte, that these my two sonnes may syt, the one on thy ryght hande, and the other on the lefte, in thy kyngdome.


text:
But Iesus answered & sayde: Ye wot not what ye aske. Are ye able to dryncke of that cuppe that I shall drynke of: & to be baptised wt the baptyme, that I am baptised wt?


text:
They saye vnto him: we are. He sayde vnto them: ye shall dryncke in dede of my cup: & be baptised wt the baptyme that I am baptised with. But to syt on my ryght hande & on my left, is not myne to geue: but it shall chaunce vnto them, that it is prepared for of my father.


text:
But Iesus called them vnto him, & sayde: ye knowe that the princes of the nacions haue dominion ouer them. And they that are great men, exercyse auctorite vpon them.


text:
euen as the sonne of man cam, not to be ministred vnto, but to minister, & to geue his lyfe a redempcion for many.


text:
And beholde, two blynd men sittinge by the waysyde, when they hearde that Iesus passed by, they cried sayinge: O lord thou sonne of Dauid, haue mercy on vs.


text:
And the people rebuked them, because they shulde holde their peace. But they cried the more sayinge: haue mercy on vs. O Lord thou sonne of Dauid.


text:
So Iesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes, & immediatly their eyes receaued syght. And they folowed him.


text:
And whan they drew nye vnto Ierusalem, and were come to Bethphage, vnto mounte Olyuete: then sent Iesus two discyples,


text:
saying vnto them: Go into the towne that lyeth ouer agaynst yon, and anone ye shall fynde an asse bound, and a colte with her: loose them, & bringe them vnto me.


text:
And yf eny man saye ought vnto you, say ye: the Lorde hath neade of them: & streyght waye he wyll let them go.


text:
Tell ye the daughter of Sion: beholde, thy kynge commeth vnto the, meke, syttinge vpon an asse & a colte, the fole of the asse vsed to the yocke.


text:
And many of the people spred their garmentes in the waye. Other cut doune braunches from the trees, & strawed them in the waye.


text:
Moreouer, the people that went before, & they that came after, cried saying: Hosanna to the sonne of Dauid Blessed is he that commeth in the name of the Lord Hosanna in the hyest.


text:
And Iesus went into the temple of God, & cast out all them that solde & bought in the temple, & ouerthrew the tables of the mony chaungers, & the seates of them that solde doues,


text:
& sayd vnto them: It is wrytten my house shalbe called the house of prayer. But ye haue made it a denne of theues.


text:
When the chefe Prestes & Scribes sawe the wonders that he dyd, & the chyldren cryinge in the temple (& sayinge: Hosanna to the sonne of Dauid) they disdayned,


text:
and sayd vnto him: hearest thou what these saye? But Iesus saieth vnto them why not? haue ye neuer redde. Out of the mouth of babes & suckelynges thou haste ordeyned prayse?


text:
& whan he had spyed a fygge tree in the waye, he came to it, & founde nothynge theron, but leaues onely, & sayde vnto it: Neuer frute growe on the hence forwardes. And anone the fygg tree widdered awaye.


text:
Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them: Uerely I saye vnto you yf ye haue fayth & dout not, ye shal not onely do this that is happened vnto the fygge tree: but also yf ye shall saye vnto this mountayne, remoue, & cast thy selfe into the see, it shalbe done.


text:
And when he was come in to the temple, the chefe Prestes & the elders of the people came vnto him (as he was teachinge) & sayde By what auctorite doest thou these thinges? & who gaue the thys power?


text:
Iesus answered & sayde vnto them: I also wyll aske of you a certayne thing, which yf ye tell me, I in lyke wyse will tell you by what auctorite I do these thinges.


text:
The baptime of Iohn: whence was it? from heauen or of men? And they thought amonge them selues, saying: yf we saye from heauen, he wyll saye vnto vs: why dyd ye not then beleue him?


text:
And they answered vnto Iesus & sayde: we cannot tell. And he sayd vnto them: nether tell I you, by what auctorite I do these thynges.


text:
What saye ye to this? A man had two sonnes, & cam to the fyrst, & sayde: sonne, go & worke to daye in my vineyarde.


text:
Whether of them twayne dyd the wyll of the father? And they saye vnto him: the fyrst. Iesus sayeth vnto them: verely I saye vnto you, the publicans & harlotes go into the kyngdom of God before you.


text:
For Iohn cam vnto you by the waye of ryghtewesnes, and ye beleued hym not: but publicans & harlottes beleued hym. And ye (whan ye had sene it) were not moued afterwarde wyth repentaunce, that ye myght haue beleued hym.


text:
Herken another symilitude Ther was a certaine man an housholder, whych planted a vineyarde, & hedged it rounde about, & made a wynepresse in it, & bilt a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, & went into a straung countre.


text:
And when the tyme of the frute drewe neare, he sent his seruauntes to the husbandmen that they myght receaue the frutes of it.


text:
But when the husbandmen sawe the sonne, they sayd amonge them selues: This is the heyre: come, let vs kyll him, & let vs enioye his inheritaunce


text:
They sayd vnto him: For asmoch as they be euell, he will cruellye destroye them, & will let out his vineyard vnto other husbandmen, which shall delyuer hym the frute in due seasons.


text:
Iesus sayeth vnto them: dyd ye neuer reade in the scriptures The stone whych the bylders refused, the same is become the heade of the corner: thys is the Lordes doinge, & it is meruelous in youre eyes.


text:
Therfore saye I vnto you, the kyngdom of God shalbe taken from you, and geuen to a nacion, whych shall brynge forth the frutes therof.


text:
And whosoeuer falleth on this stone, shalbe broken in peces: but on whomsoeuer it falleth it shall all to grynd hym.


text:
And when the chefe Prestes and Pharises had hearde hys parables, they perceaued, that he speake of them.


text:
And they went about to laye handes on him but they feared the people, because they tooke him as a Prophet


text:
Agayne, he sent forth other seruauntes sayinge: Tell them whych are bydden: beholde, I haue prepared my dynner: my oxen & my fatlynges are kylled, & all thinges are ready, come vnto the mariage.


text:
But when the kyng hearde therof, he was wroth, & sent forth his men of warre & destroyed those murtherers, and brent vp theyr cytie.


text:
Then sayd he to his seruauntes: the mariage in dede is prepared. But they whych were bydden, were not worthy.


text:
And the seruauntes went out into the hye wayes, & gathered together all, as many as they coulde fynde, both good & bad, & the weddynge was furnisshed with gestes.


text:
Then the kyng came in, to se the gestes, & whan he spyed there a man, whych had not on a weddynge garment,


text:
he sayd vnto hym: frende, how camest thou in hyther not hauyng a weddynge garment? And he was euen spechlesse.


text:
Then sayd the king to the ministers: take & bynde him hand and fote, & cast hym into vtter darcknes there shall be wepynge & gnasshynge of teth.


text:
And they sent out vnto hym theyr discyples wyth Herodes seruauntes, sayinge: Master, we knowe that thou art true, & teachest the waye of God truely, nether carest thou for eny man, for thou regardest not the outward appearaunce of men.


text:
They saye vnto him, Cesars. Then sayd he vnto them. Geue therfore vnto Cesar, the thinges whych are Cesars: & vnto God, those thinges that are Gods


text:
sayinge: Master, Moses sayde: that yf a man dye hauynge no chylde, hys brother shulde mary hys wyfe, & reyse vp seed vnto his brother.


text:
Ther were with vs seuen brethren: & the fyrste maried a wyfe, & deceased wtout yssue & lefte his wyfe vnto his brother.


text:
But as touchyng the resurreccyon of the deed: haue ye not red that which is spoken vnto you of God, whych sayth:


text:
I am the God of Abraham & the God of Isaac, & the God of Iacob? God is not a God of deed, but of lyuinge.


text:
Iesus sayd vnto hym: Thou shalt loue the Lord thy God wyth all thy herte, and wyth all thy soule, & wyth all thy mynde.


text:
And no man was able to answere him anye thing: nether durste eny man (from that daye forth) aske him any moo questions.


text:
All therfore whatsoeuer they byd you obserue, that obserue and do: but do not ye after theyr workes:


text:
for they saye, and do not. Yee, they bynde together heuy burthens and greuous to be borne, & laye them on mennes shoulders: but they them selues wyll not heaue at them with one of their fyngers.


text:
All theyr worckes do they for the intent, that they maye be sene of men. They set abroade their philateries, & make large the borders of their garmentes,


text:
But whosoeuer exalteth him selfe? shalbe brought lowe. And he that humbleth him selfe, shalbe exalted.


text:
Wo vnto you Scribes & Pharises, ye ypocrites, for ye shutt vp the kyngdome of heauen before men ye nether go in your selues, nether suffre ye them that come, to enter in.


text:
Wo vnto you Scribes, & pharises, ye ypocrites: for ye deuoure wyddowes houses: and that vnder a pretence of longe prayer: therfore shall ye be the sorer punysshed.


text:
Wo be vnto you Scrybes and Pharises, ye ypocrytes: for ye compasse see and lande, to make one proselyte: & when he is become one, ye make hym two folde moare the chylde of hell, then ye youre selues are.


text:
Wo be vnto you ye blynde gydes, ffor ye saye: whosoeuer doth sweare by the temple: it is nothynge: but whosoeuer sweareth by the golde of the temple, he is gyltye.


text:
And whosoeuer sweareth by the aultre, it is nothinge, but whosoeuer sweareth by the gyft that is vpon it, he is giltye,


text:
Wo vnto you Scribes & Pharises, ye ypocrites: For ye tyth mynt, and anyse, & commyn, & haue leaft the wayghtier matters of the lawe: iudgement, mercy, & fayth. These ought ye to haue done, & not to leaue the other vndone.


text:
Wo vnto you Scrybes and pharises, ye ypocrites: for ye make cleane the vtter syde of the cuppe, & of the platter: but within they are full of brybery and excesse.


text:
Thou blynde Pharise, clense fyrst that whych is wt in the cup & platter, that the outesyde of them maye be cleane also.


text:
Wo vnto you Scrybes & pharises, ye ypocrites: for ye are lyke vnto painted sepulcres which in dede appeare beautifull outwarde but are wythin full of deed mens bones & of all fylthynes.


text:
Euen so ye also, outwardlye appere ryghteous vnto men: But wythin, ye are full of faynednesse and iniquyte.


text:
Wo vnto you Scribes and Pharises, ye ypocrites: ye buylde the tombes of the Prophetes, and garnysihe the sepulchres of the ryghteous,


text:
& saye: yf we had bene in the dayes of our fathers, we wolde not haue bene parteners wyth them in the bloude of the Prophetes.


text:
And so ye be wytnesses vnto youre selues, that ye are the chyldren of them whych kylled the prophetes.


text:
Wherfore beholde I sende vnto you Prophetes & wyse men, & scrybes, and some of them ye shall kyll & crucifye: & some of them shal ye scourge in youre synagoges, & persecute them from cytie to cytie:


text:
that vpon you maye come all the ryghteous bloude whych hath bene shedd vpoon the erthe, from the bloude of ryghteous. Abel, vnto the bloude of Zachary sonne of Barachias, whom ye slewe betwene the temple & the altare.


text:
O Ierusalem, Ierusalem, thou that kyllest the prophetes, & stonest them which are sent vnto the: how often wolde. I haue gathered thy chyldren together, euen as the henne gathereth her chyckens vnder her wynges, & ye wolde not?


text:
For I saye vnto you: ye shall not se me hence forth, tyll that ye saye blessed is he, that commeth in the name of the Lorde.


text:
And Iesus went out, & departed from the temple: & hys discyples came to him, for to shewe him the byldynges of the temple.


text:
Iesus sayde vnto them: Se ye not all these thinges? Uerely I saye vnto you ther shall not be here lefte one stone vpon another, that shall not be destroyed.


text:
And as he sat vpon mount Oliuete, hys disciples came vnto him secretly, saying: Tell vs: when shall these thinges be: & what shalbe the token of thy commyng & of the ende of the world?


text:
ye shall heare of warres, & tidinges of warres: be not troubled. For all must come to passe, but the ende is not yet.


text:
Nacion shall ryse agaynst nacion, and realme agaynst realme: and ther shalbe pestilence, & hunger, and erthquakes in all places.


text:
Then shall they put you to trouble, and shall kyll you: & ye shalbe hated of all nacions for my names sake.


text:
And this Gospell of the kyngdome shalbe preached in all the worlde, for a wytnes vnto all nacyons, and then shall the ende come.


text:
When ye therfore shall se the abhominacion of desolacion (that was spoken of by Daniel the prophet) stande in the holy place: whoso readeth it let him vnderstande.


text:
For then shalbe great tribulacions suche as was not sens the begynning of the worlde to this tyme, nor shalbe.


text:
Ye & except those dayes shulde be shortened, there shulde no fleshe be saued: but for the chosens sake, those dayes shalbe shortened.


text:
For there shall aryse false Chrystes, and false prophetes and shall shew great miracles, & wondres. In so moch (that yf it were possyble) the verie electe shuld be deceaued:


text:
Wherfore, yf they saye vnto you: beholde, he is in the desert, go not ye forth: behold, he is in the secret places, beleue it not.


text:
For as the lyghtnynge commeth out of the East, and appeareth into the west: so shall the commynge of the sonne of man be.


text:
Immediatly after the tribulacyons of those dayes, shall the sonne be derkened: & the moone shall not geue her lyght, and the starres shall fall from heauen, & the powers of heauen shall be moued.


text:
And then shall appeare the token of the sonne of man in heauen. And then shall all the kynredes of the earth mourne, and they shall se the sonne of man commyng in the cloudes of heauen, wyth power & greate glorie


text:
And he shall sende his Angels wt the greate voyce of a trompett, & they shall gather to gether his chosen, from the foure wyndes: euen from the hyghest partes of heauen, vntyll the endes ther of.


text:
Learne a symilitude of the fygge tree: When hys braunches is yet tender, & the leaues sprong, ye knowe that sommer is nye.


text:
For as in the dayes (that went before the floud) they dyd eate and dryncke, mary, and were maryed, euen vntyll the daye that Noe entred into the shyppe,


text:
and knewe not tyll the floud came and toke them all awaye: So shall also the commynge of the sonne of man be.


text:
Of this yet be sure, that yf the good man of the house knew what houre the thefe wolde come: he wolde suerly watche, & not suffre hys house to be broken vp.


text:
Who is a faythfull & wyse seruaunt, whom his Lorde hath made ruler ouer his housholde, to geue them meate in season.


text:
the same seruauntes Lord shall come in a daye when he loketh not for hym, and in an houre that he is not ware of,


text:
& shall hewe him in peces, & geue hym his porcyon wyth ypocrites: there shalbe wepynge and gnasshynge of teth.


text:
Then shall the kyngdom of heauen be like vnto ten virgins, which toke their lampes, & went to mete the brydgrome


text:
But the wyse answered, sayinge: not so, lest ther be not ynough for vs and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, & by for your selues.


text:
And whyll they went to bye, the brydgrome came: & they that were ready went in with hym to the mariage, & the gate was shut vp.


text:
Lykewise as a certeine man ready to take his iorney to a straunge countre, called his seruauntes, & delyuered vnto them hys goodes.


text:
And vnto one he gaue .v. talentes, to another .ij. & to another one: to euery man after his habilite, & streight waye departed.


text:
Then he that had receaued the fyue talentes, went, & occupied wt the same, & wanne other fyue talentes.


text:
And so he that had receaued fyue talentes came, & brought other fyue talentes, sayinge: Sir, thou delyueredst vnto me fyue talentes: beholde, I haue gayned with them fyue talentes moo:


text:
His Lord sayde vnto him: well thou good and faythfull seruaunt. Thou hast bene faythfull ouer fewe thinges, I wyll make the ruler ouer many thinges: entre thou into the ioye of thy Lorde.


text:
He also that had receaued two talentes, came and sayde: Sir, thou delyueredst vnto me two talentes: beholde, I haue wone two other talentes with them:


text:
his Lord sayd vnto him: well good & faythfull seruaunt. Thou hast bene faythfull ouer fewe thinges. I will make the ruler ouer many thinges: Entre thou into the ioye of thy Lorde.


text:
Then he whych had receaued the one talent, came, & sayd: Sir I knewe the that thou art an harde man: reaping where thou hast not sowen, & gathering where thou hast not strawed,


text:
and therfore was I afrayde, & went, and hyd thy talent in the erth: lo, there thou hast that thine is.


text:
His lord answered & sayd vnto him thou euyll & slowthfull seruaunt, thou knewest, that I reape where I sowed not, & gather, where I haue not strawed:


text:
thou oughtest therfore to haue delyuered my money to the exchaungers, & then at my commynge shulde I haue receaued myne awne with vauntage.


text:
For vnto euery one that hath shalbe geuen, and he shall haue aboundance: But he that hath not, from hym shalbe taken awaye, euen that which he hath.


text:
And cast the vnprofytable seruaunt into vtter dercknes there shalbe wepinge and gnasshinge of teeth.


text:
When the sonne of man commeth in his glorye, & all the holy angels wyth him, then shall he syt vpon the seate of hys glorie,


text:
and before him shalbe gathered all nacions. And he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherde deuydeth the shepe from the goates:


text:
Then shall the Kynge saye to them that shalbe on hys ryghte hande: Come ye blessed of my father, inheret the kyngdome prepared for you from the begynninge of the worlde.


text:
For I was an hongred, & ye gaue me meate. I was thyrstye, & ye gaue me drincke. I was herbourlesse, & ye toke me in:


text:
Then shall the righteous answere him saying: Lord, when sawe we the an hongred, and fedd the? or thirstye, & gaue the drinke?


text:
And the kyng shall answere, and saye vnto them: veryly I saye vnto you: in as moch as ye haue done it vnto one of the leest of these my brethren, ye haue done it to me.


text:
Then shall he saye also vnto them, that shalbe on the lyfte hand: departe from me ye cursed into euerlastynge fyre: whych is prepared for the deuyll and his angels.


text:
I was harborlesse, and ye toke me not in. I was naked, and ye clothed me not. I was sycke & in preson, and ye visyted me not.


text:
Then shall they also answere him saying, lorde, when sawe we the an hungred, or a thyrst, or herbourlesse, or naked, or sycke, or in preson, & dyd not minister vnto the?


text:
Then shall he answere them sayeng: Uerely I saye vnto you, in as moche as ye dyd it not to one of the leest of these, ye dyd it not to me.


text:
ye knowe that after two dayes shalbe Easter, and the sonne of man shalbe delyuered ouer, to be crucifyed.


text:
Then assembled together the chefe prestes & the scrybes & the elders of the people vnto the palace of the hye preste, (whych was called Cayphas)


text:
ther came vnto him a woman hauyng an alabaster boxe of precious oyntment, and powred it on his heed, as he sate at the bourde.


text:
When Iesus vnderstode that, he sayde vnto them: why trouble ye the wooman? For she hath wrought a good worcke vpon me.


text:
Uerely I saye vnto you: wheresoeuer thys gospell shalbe preached in all the world, there shall also this that she hath done, be tolde for a memoriall of her.


text:
and sayd vnto them: what will ye geue me, and I wyll delyuer him vnto you? And they apoynted vnto hym thyrty peces of syluer.


text:
The fyrst daye of swete breed, the disciples came to Iesus, sayinge vnto him: where wilt thou that we prepare for the, to eate the passeouer?


text:
And he sayd: go into the cytie, to soche a man, and saye vnto him, the master sayeth: my tyme is at hand, I will kepe myne Easter by the, wyth my disciples:


text:
The sonne of man truly goeth, as it is written of him: but wo vnto that man, by whom the sonne of man is betrayed. It had bene good for that man, if he had not bene borne.


text:
Then Iudas which betrayed him, answered, and sayd: master, is it I? He sayde vnto him: thou hast sayd.


text:
Whan they were eatyng, Iesus toke bread, and whan he had geuen thankes, he brake it, & gaue it to the disciples, & sayd: Take, eate, this is my body.


text:
For this is my bloud (which is of the new testament) that is shed for many, for the remissyon of synnes.


text:
But I saye vnto you: I will not dryncke hence forth of this frute of the vyne tree, vntyll that daye, when I shall drincke it newe with you in my fathers kyngdome.


text:
Then sayeth Iesus vnto them: all ye shalbe offended because of me this nyght. For it is wrytten: I will smyte the shepeherde, & the shepe of the flocke shalbe scattered abroade.


text:
Peter answered, & sayde vnto him: though all men be offended because of the, yet will not I be offended.


text:
Iesus sayd vnto him: Uerely, I saye vnto the, that in this same myght, before the cocke crowe, thou shalt denye me thryse.


text:
Peter sayde vnto him. Yee, though I shuld dye with the, yet will I not denye the: Like wyse also sayde all the disciples.


text:
Then came Iesus wt them vnto a farme. place (which is called Gethsemane) and sayde vnto the disciples: syt ye here while I go and praye yonder.


text:
And he went a lytell farther, and fell flat on his face, and prayed, sayinge: O my father, yf it be possible, let this cuppe passe from me: neuerthelesse, not as I will, but as thou wilt.


text:
And he came vnto the disciples, & founde them aslepe, and sayeth vnto Peter: what, coulde ye not watch with me one houre:


text:
watche, and praye, that ye entre not into temptacyon. The sprete is willinge, but the fleshe is weake.


text:
He went awaye once agayne and prayed, sayinge, O my father, yf this cuppe maye not passe awaye from me, excepte I drincke of it, thy will be fulfylled.


text:
Then commeth he to his disciples, and sayeth vnto them Slepe on now, and take youre rest. Beholde, the houre is at hande & the sonne of man is betrayed into the handes of synners.


text:
Whil he yet spake: lo: Iudas one of the nombre of the twelue, came & with him a greate multitude, wt sweardes and staues, sent from the chefe prestes and elders of the people.


text:
But he that betrayed him gaue them a token, sayinge: whomsoeuer I kysse, that same is he, hold him fast.


text:
And Iesus sayde vnto him: frende, wherfore art thou come? Then came they, and layed handes on Iesus and toke him.


text:
And beholde, one of them whych were with Iesus, stretched out his hande, and drue his swearde, and stroke a seruaunt of the hye hye prestes, and smote of his eare.


text:
Then sayd Iesus vnto him: put vp thy swearde into his sheath. For All they that take the swearde, shall perishe with the swearde.


text:
Thinkest thou that I cannot now praye to my father, and he shall geue me more then twelue Legions of angels?


text:
In that same houre sayde Iesus to the multitude: ye be come out as it were vnto a thefe, with swerdes and staues, for to take me. I sat daylie with you, teachinge in the temple, and ye toke me not.


text:
Then all the disciples forsoke him, and fleed. And they toke Iesus, & led him to Cayphas the hye Preste, where the Scribes and the elders were assembled.


text:
But Peter folowed him a farre of, vnto the hye prestes palace: & went in, and sate with the seruauntes, to se the ende.


text:
The chefe Prestes and the elders, and all the councell, sought false witnes agaynst Iesus (for to put hym to deeth)


text:
but founde none: yee, when many false witnesses came, yet founde they none. At the last came two false witnesses,


text:
and sayde: This felowe sayde. I am able to destroye the temple of God, & to buylde it agayne in thre dayes.


text:
And the chefe preste arose, & sayd vnto him: answerest thou nothyng? Why do these beare wytnes against the?


text:
But Iesus helde hys peace. And the chefe preste answered and sayde vnto him: I charge the by the lyuinge God, that thou tell vs, whether thou be Christ the sonne of God.


text:
Iesus sayeth vnto hym, thou hast sayd. Neuerthelesse I saye vnto you here after shall ye se the sonne of man syttinge on the right hande of power, and commyng in the cloudes of the skye.


text:
Then the hye preste rent his clothes, sayinge: he hath spoken blasphemye. what nede we of eny moo witnesses? Beholde, now ye haue hearde his blasphemy:


text:
Then dyd they spytt in his face, & buffeted him with fistes. And other smote him on hys face wyth the palme of their handes,


text:
Peter sat with oute in the palace. And a damsell came to him, sayinge: Thou also wast with Iesus of Galile:


text:
When he was gone out into the porche, a nother wenche sawe him, and sayde vnto them that were there: This felowe was also with Iesus of Nazareth.


text:
And after a whyle, came vnto him they (that stode by) and sayde vnto Peter. surely thou art euen one of them, for thy speache be wrayeth the.


text:
And Peter remembred the worde of Iesu, which sayde vnto him: before the cocke crowe, thou shalt denye me thryse: and he went out, and wepte bytterly.


text:
When the mornynge was come, all the chefe prestes and the elders of the people helde a counsayle agaynst Iesus, to put him to deeth,


text:
Then Iudas (which had betrayed him) seyng that he was condempned, repented him selfe, and brought agayne the thirtye plates of syluer, to the chefe Prestes and elders,


text:
sayinge: I haue synned, betrayinge the innocent bloud. And they sayd: what is that to vs? Se thou to that.


text:
And the chefe prestes toke the syluer plates and sayd: it is not lawfull for to put them into the treasure, because it is the pryce of bloud.


text:
Then was fulfylled, that which was spoken by Ieremy the Prophet, sayinge: and they toke thirtye syluer plates, the pryse of him that was valued, whom they bought of the chyldren of Israel,


text:
Iesus stode before the debite, and the debite asked him, sayinge: art thou the kyng of the Iewes? Iesus sayeth vnto him: Thou sayest.


text:
Therfore, when they were gathered together, Pilate sayd: whether wil ye that I geue loosse vnto you? Barrabas, or Iesus, whych is called Chryst?


text:
When he was set downe to geue iudgement, his wyfe sent vnto him sayinge: haue thou nothinge to do with that iust man. For I haue suffered many thinges this daye in my slepe because of him.


text:
But the chefe prestes and the elders persuaded the people, that they shulde aske Barrabas, and destroye Iesus.


text:
The debite answered, and sayde vnto them: whether of the twayne, will ye, that I let loosse vnto you? They sayd: Barrabas.


text:
Pilate sayde vnto them: what shall I do then with Iesus whych is called Christ? They all sayd vnto him: let him be crucifyed.


text:
When Pilate sawe that he coulde preuayle nothinge, but that more busynes was made, he toke water, and wasshed hys handes before the people, sayinge: I am innocent of the bloud of this iust person, ye shall se.


text:
Then the soudeours of the debite toke Iesus in the comen hall, and gathered vnto him al the company.


text:
and platted a croune of thornes and put vpon his heed, and a rede in his ryght hande: and bowed the knee before him: & mocked him, saying: hayle, kyng of the Iewes:


text:
And after that they had mocked him, they toke the roabe of him agayne, and put hys awne rayment on him, & led him awaye to crucifye him.


text:
And as they came out, they founde a man of Cyren (named Simon) him they compelled to beare his crosse.


text:
And they came vnto the place which is called Golgotha (that is to saye, a place of deed mens sculles)


text:
and gaue hym veneger to drincke myngled with gall. And when he had tasted therof, he wolde not drincke.


text:
When they had crucifyed him, they parted his garmentes, & dyd cast lottes: that it myght be fulfylled which was spoken by the Prophet. They departed my garmentes amonge them: and vpon my vesture dyd they cast lottes.


text:
and sayinge: thou that destroydest the temple of God and dyddest bylde it in thre dayes, saue thy selfe If thou be the sonne of God, come downe from the crosse.


text:
He saued other, him selfe can he not saue. If he be the kynge of Israel: let him now come doune from the crosse, & we will beleue him.


text:
He trusted in God, let him delyuer him now, yf he wyll haue him: for he sayde, I am the sonne of God.


text:
And about the nynth houre, Iesus cryed, wyth a loude voyce, sayinge: Eli, Eli lamasabaththany. That is to saye: my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?


text:
And streyght waye one of them ranne, and toke a sponge, and whan he had fylled it full of veneger, he put it on a rede, and gaue him to drincke.


text:
And beholde, the vayle of the temple dyd rent in to two partes, from the toppe to the bottome, and the earth dyd quake, and the stones ren


text:
& went out of the graues after his resurreccyon, and came in to the holy cytie, and appeared vnto many.


text:
When the Centurion and they that were with him watchinge Iesus, sawe the erth quake, those thinges which happened, they feared greatly, saying: Trulye, this was the sonne of God.


text:
And many wemen were there (beholdinge hym a farre of) whych folowed Iesus from Galile, mynistringe vnto him.


text:
Amonge which was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of Iames and Ioses, and the mother of Zebedes chyldren.

When the euen was come there came a riche man of Aramathia named Ioseph, which also was Iesus disciple:


text:
and layed it in hys newe tombe, whych he had hewen out, euen in the rocke, and rolled a greate stone to the dore of the sepulcre & departed.


text:
The nexte daye that folowed the daye of preparinge, the hye prestes and Pharises came together vnto Pilate,


text:
sayeng: Syr, we remembre, that this deceauer sayde whyle he was yet alyue. After thre dayes I wyll aryse agayne.


text:
Commaunde therfore that the sepulcre be made sure vntyll the thyrd daye, lest hys disciples come, & steale him awaye and saye vnto the people: he is rysen from the deed, & the last errour shalbe worse then the fyrst.


text:
Vpon an euening of the Sabbothes, whych dawneth the fyrst daye of the Sabbathes, came Mary Magdalene & the other Mary, to se the sepulcre.


text:
And beholde, ther was a greate earthquake. For the angell of the Lord descended from heauen, & came & rowlled backe the stone from the dore, and sat vpon it.


text:
The angell answered, & sayd vnto the wemen, feare ye not. For I knowe, that ye seke Iesus which was crucifyed:


text:
& go quickly, & tell his disciples, that he is rysen agayne from the deed. And behold, he goeth before you into Galile, there ye shall se him. Lo I haue tolde you:


text:
And they departed quickly from the sepulcre, with feare and greate Ioye, & dyd runne, to bryng his disciples worde.


text:
And as they went to tell his disciples: beholde, Iesus met them, sayinge: All hayle. And they came, & held him by the fete, & worshipped him.


text:
Then sayd Iesus vnto them: be not afrayde. Go tell my brethren, that they go into Galile & there shal they se me.


text:
When they were gone, behold, some of the kepers came into the cytie & shewed vnto the hye prestes, all the thinges that had happened.


text:
And they gathered them together with the elders, & toke counsell, & gaue large money vnto the soudiers,


text:
So they toke the money, & dyd as they were taught. And this sayinge is noysed amonge the Iewes vnto this daye.


text:
Go ye therfore, & teach all nacions, baptising them in the name of the father, & of the sonne, & of the holy goost:


text:
Teachinge them to obserue all thinges, whatsoeuer I haue commaunded you. And lo I am wyth you allwaye, euen vntyll the ende of the worlde.

And all the lande of Iewrie and they of Ierusalem, went out vnto hym, and were all baptised of him in the ryuer Iordan, confessynge their synnes.


text:
Iohn was clothed with camilles herr, and wt a gerdyll of a sayng about hys loynes. And he dyd eate locustes and wilde hony,


text:
and preached sayinge. He that is stronger then I, commeth after me, whose sho latchet I am not worthy to stoupe downe, and vnlose,


text:
And it came to passe in those dayes, that Iesus cam from Nazareth, of Galile: and was baptysed of Iohn in Iordan:


text:
And assone as he was come vp out of the water: he sawe heauen open, & the sprete descendynge vpon him lyke adoue:


text:
and he was there in the wyldernes .xl. dayes, and was tempted of Satan, & was with wilde beastes. And the angels minystred vnto hym.


text:
As he walked by the see of Galile, he sawe Simon & Andrew his brother, castynge nettes into the see, for they were fisshers.

And when he had gone a lytell further thence, he sawe Iames the sonne of Zebede, and Iohn his brother, which also were in the shyppe, mendynge their nettes.

And anone he called them. And they leeft their father Zebede in the shyp wyth the hyred seruauntes, and folowed hym.


text:
And they came into Capernaum: and streyght waye on the Saboth dayes, he entred into the synagoge, & taught.


text:
And they were astonnyed at hys learnynge. For he taught them as one that had auctorite, & not as the Scribes.


text:
sayinge: Alas, what haue we to do with the thou Iesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroye vs? I knowe the what thou art euen that holy one of God.


text:
And they were all amased, in so moch that they demaunded one of another amonge them selues sayinge: what thyng is this? What newe doctrine is thys? For with auctorite commaunded he the foule spirites, and they obeyed hym.


text:
And forth with, whan they were come out of the Synagoge they entred into the house of Symon and Andrew, wyth Iames and Iohn.


text:
And he came, & toke her by the hande: & lifte her vp: & ymediatly the feuer forsoke hyr, & she mynistred vnto them.


text:
And at euen when the sonne was downe, they brought vnto him all that were dyseased, and them that were vexed with deuyls.


text:
and he healed many that were sycke of dyuers deseases, and cast out many deuyls, & suffred not the deuyls to speake, because they knewe him.


text:
And in the mornynge very early, Iesus (whan he was rysen vp) departed, and went out into a solitary place, and there prayed.


text:
And he sayd vnto them: let vs go into the next townes, that I maye preach there also: for therfore am I come.


text:
And ther came a leper to him, besechynge hym, and knelyng downe, and sayeng vnto him, yf thou wilt, thou cannest make me cleane.


text:
And Iesus had compassion on hym, & puth forth his hande, touched hym, & sayeth vnto him: I wyll, be thou cleane.


text:
and sayeth vnto hym. Se thou saye nothynge to any man: but get the hence, shewe thy selfe to the Preaste, and offer for thy clensinge, those thinges whych Moses commaunded, for a witnesse vnto them.


text:
But he (assone as he was departed) beganne to tell many thinges, and to publyshe the sayenge: in so moch that Iesus coulde nomore openly entre into the cytie, but was with out in desert places. And they came to hym from euery quarter.


text:
After a feawe dayes also, he entred into Capernaum agayne, and it was noysed that he was in the house.


text:
And anone many were gathered together, in so moch that now there was no rome to receaue them, no not so moche as about the dore. And he preached the worde vnto them.


text:
And when they coulde not come nye vnto him for prease, they vncouered the rofe of the house that he was in. And when they had broken vp the rofe, they dyd (wyth coardes) let downe the bed wherin the sycke of the palsye laye.


text:
When Iesus sawe their fayth, he sayde vnto the sycke of the palsye: sonne thy synnes be forgeuen the.


text:
And immediatly when Iesus perceaued in hys sprete, that they so thought wyth in them selues, he sayeth vnto them: why thynke ye soch thinges in youre hertes?


text:
Whether is it esayer to saye to the sycke of the palsye: thy synnes be forgeuen the: or to saye, aryse, take vp thy bed, and walke?


text:
But that ye maye knowe, that the sonne of man hath power in earth to forgeue synnes, he spake vnto the sycke of the palsye:


text:
And immediatly he arose, toke vp the bed, and went forth before them all: in so moch that they were all amased, & glorifyed God, sayinge: we neuer sawe it on this fassyon.


text:
And as Iesus passed by, he sawe Leuy the sonne of Alphe, sytting at the receyte of custome, and sayde vnto him: folowe me. And he arose, and folowed hym.


text:
And it came to passe that whan Iesus sate at meate in hys house, many publicans and synners sate also together at meate wyth Iesus and his disciples. For there were many, that folowed hym.


text:
And when the Scrybes and Pharises sawe him eate with publicans and synners, they sayde vnto his disciples: how happeneth it, that he eateth & dryncketh wyth publicans and synners?


text:
When Iesus hearde that, he sayde vnto them: They that be whole, haue no nede of the Phisycion, but they that are sycke. I came not to call the ryghtwyse, but synners to repentaunce.


text:
And the disciples of Iohn and the Pharises dyd fast: and they come and saye vnto him. Why do the disciples of Iohn and of the Pharises fast, but thy disciples fast not?


text:
And Iesus sayde vnto them: can the children of the weddinge fast while the brydgrome is with them? As longe as they haue the brydgrome with them, they cannot fast.


text:
But the dayes wyll come, when the brydgrome shalbe taken awaye from them, and then shall they fast in those dayes.


text:
No man also soweth a pece of new cloth vnto an olde garment, els taketh he awaye the new pece therof from the olde, & so is the rent worse.


text:
And no man powreth new wine into olde botels: els the new wynd doth burst the bottels, and the wyne runneth out, and the bottels are marred. But new wine must be putt into new bottels.


text:
And it chaunsed that he went thorow the corne feldes on the Sabboth dayes, and hys disciples, beganne by the waye to plucke the eares of corne.


text:
And the Pharises sayde vnto him: beholde, why do they on the Sabboth dayes, that whych is not laufull?


text:
And he sayde vnto them: haue ye neuer red what Dauid dyd, when he had nede, & was an hongred, both he, and they that were with him?


text:
How he went into the house of God in the dayes of Abiathar the hye Preast, and dyd eate the shewbread, (whych is not lawfull to eate, but for the Prestes onely) & gaue also to them whych were wyth hym?


text:
And he sayth vnto them, whether is it lawfull to do good on the Sabboth dayes, or to do euyll? to saue lyfe, or to kyll? But they helde their peace.


text:
And whan he had looked round aboute on them, wyth anger, mournynge on the blyndnes of their hertes, he sayeth to the man, stretch forth thine hande. And he stretched it out. And hys hande was restored, euen as whole as the other.


text:
And the Pharises departed, and streight waye gathred a councell (with them that belonged to Herode) agaynst hym, that they myght destroye him.


text:
But Iesus auoyded wt his disciples to the see. And a greate multitude folowed hym from Galile: and from Iurie,


text:
and from Ierusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyonde Iordane, and they that dwelled about Tyre and Sidon, a greate multitude of men: which (when they had herde what thinges he dyd) came vnto hym.


text:
And Iesus commaunded his disciples, that a ship shuld wayt on hym, because of the people, leste they shuld thronge him.


text:
For he had healed many, in somoch that they preased vpon him, for to touch him, as many as had plages.


text:
And when the vncleane spretes sawe him, they fell downe before him, & cryed, sayinge: thou art the sonne of God.


text:
And he ordeyned the twelue that they shuld be with him, and that he myght sende them forth to preach:


text:
And he called Iames the sonne of Zebede and Iohn, Iames brother, and gaue them to name Boanarges, whych is to saye, the sonnes of thonder.


text:
And Andrew, & Philip, and Bartholomew, and Mathew, & Thomas, and Iames the sonne of Alphe, and Thaddeus, and Symon of Canaan,


text:
And when they that belonged vnto hym, heard of it, they went out to laye handes vpon him. For they sayde: he is madd.


text:
And the Scrybes whych came downe from Ierusalem, sayde: he hath Belzebub, and by the chefe deuyll, casteth he out deuyls.


text:
And yf Satan make insurreccyon agaynst him selfe, & be deuided, he cannot contynue, but hath an ende:


text:
No man can entre into astronge mans house, & take awaye hys goodes, excepte he fyrst bynde the stronge man, & then spoyle his house.


text:
Uerely I saye vnto you, all synnes shalbe forgeuen vnto mens children: and blasphemyes wherwith soeuer they haue blasphemed.


text:
But he that speaketh blasphemy agaynst the holy goost, hath neuer forgeuenes, but is in daunger of eternall damnacyon:


text:
And the people sat aboute him, and sayde vnto him: beholde, thy mother & thy brethren seke for the with out.


text:
And whan he had loked rounde about on his discyples, which sat in compasse about him, he sayde: behold my mother and my brethren.


text:
And he began agayne, to teach by the see syde. And there gathered together vnto him moch people, so greatly that he entred into a ship, and sat in the see, and all the people was by the see syde on the shore.


text:
And it fortuned as he sowed, that some fell by the waye syde, and the fowles of the ayre came, and deuoured it vp:


text:
Some fell on stony grounde where it had not moch erth: and immediatly sprange vp, because it had not deepth of erth:


text:
And some fel vpon good grounde, and dyd yelde frute that sprong vp, and grewe, and brought forth, some thyrty folde, and some syxtye folde, and some an hundred folde.


text:
And he sayde vnto them. To you is it geuen to knowe the mystery of the kyngdome of God. But vnto them that are with out, all thinges happen by parables:


text:
that when they se, they maye se, and not discerne, and when they heare, they maye heare, and not vnderstande: lest at any tyme they shulde turne, and their synnes shuld be forgeuen them.


text:
And they (wherof some be rehearsed to be by the waye syde) are those, where the worde is sowen: And whan they heare, Sathan cometh immediatly, and taketh awaye the worde that was sowen in theyr hertes.


text:
And lyke wyse the other that receaue sede in to the stonye grounde, are they: whych when they heare the worde, at once receaue it wt gladnes,


text:
yet haue no rote in them selues, and so endure but a tyme: and anone whan trouble & persecucyon aryseth for the wordes sake, they fall immediatly.


text:
& the cares of this worlde, and the disseytfulnes of ryches and the lustes of other thinges, entre in and choke the worde, and it is made vnfrutfull:


text:
and other ther be, that haue receaued sede into a good ground: they are soche that heare the worde, and receaue it, so that one corne doth brynge forth thyrty, some syxty, some an hundred.


text:
And he sayde vnto them: is the candle lyghted, to be put vnder a bushell, or vnder the table? Is it not lyghted to be put on a candelstyk?


text:
For there is nothynge so preuy, that shall not be opened: nether hath it bene so secret, but that it shall come abroade.


text:
And he sayde vnto them: take hede what ye heare: With what measure ye meete, with the same shall other men measure vnto you agayne. And vnto you that heare, shall more be geuen.


text:
For vnto him that hath, shall it be geuen, and from him that hath not, shalbe taken awaye, euen that which he hath.


text:
and shulde slepe, and ryse vp nyght and daye: and the sede shuld sprynge and growe vp, while he is not aware.


text:
For the earth bryngeth forth frute of her selfe: fyrst the blade, then the eare, after that the full corne in the eare.


text:
But whan the frute is brought forth, anone he throusteth in the sykell, because the heruest is come.


text:
And he sayde: where vnto shall we lyken the kyngdome of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?


text:
It is lyke a grayne of mustarst seed: whych when it is sowen in the earth, is lesse then all seedes that be in the earth:


text:
whan it is sowen, it groweth vp, and is greater then all herbes: and beareth greate braunches, so that the fowles of the ayre maye make their nestes vnder the shadow of it.


text:
But wyth out parable spake he nothynge vnto them. But when they were alone, he expounded all thynges to his discyples.


text:
And they lefte the people, & toke him euen as he was in the ship. And ther were also wyth hym other shippes.


text:
And he was in the sterne a slepe on a pelowe. And they awake him, & saye vnto hym: Master, carest thou not, that we perishe?


text:
And he rose vp, and rebuked the wynde, and sayde vnto the see: peace, be styll. And the wynde ceassed, and ther folowed a greate calme.


text:
And they feared exceadingly, and sayde one to another: who is thys? For both wynde and see obeye hym.


text:
And when he was come out of the shippe, immediatly there met hym out of the graues a man possessed of an vncleane sprete,


text:
because that when he was often bounde with fetters and cheynes, he plucked the chaynes a sundre, and brake the fetters in peces, Nether coulde eny man tame him.


text:
And alwayes, nyght and daye he was in the mountaynes and in the graues, cryeng and beatyng hym selfe wyth stones.


text:
and cryed with a loude voyce and sayde what haue I to do wyth the: Iesus thou sonne of the moost hyest God? I requyre the in the name of God that thou torment me not.


text:
And he asked hym: what is thy name? And he answered and sayde vnto hym: my name is Legion, for we are many.


text:
& all the deuyls besought him, sayinge: sende vs in to the heerd of swyne, that we maye enter into them.


text:
And anone Iesus gaue them leaue. And the vncleane spretes went out, and entred in to the swyne. And the heerd was caryed headlyng into the see. They were allmost .ij.M. and were drowned in the see.


text:
And the swyne heerdes fleed, and tolde it in the cytie, and in the feldes. And they went out for to se, what had happened:


text:
& came to Iesus, and sawe him that was vexed with the fende & had the Legion, syt, both clothed and in his ryght mynde, and they were afrayed.


text:
And they that sawe it tolde them, how it had happened to him that was possessed wyth the deuyll: & also of the swyne.


text:
Howbeit, Iesus wolde not suffre hym, but sayde vnto him: go to thyne awne house and to thy frendes, and shewe them how great thynges the Lorde hath done for the, and how he hath had compassyon on the.


text:
And he departed, & beganne to publyshe in the ten cytyes, how greate thinges Iesus had done for hym, and all men dyd merueyle.


text:
And when Iesus was come ouer agayne by shyppe vnto the other syde, moch people gathered vnto him, and he was nye vnto the see.


text:
And beholde, ther came one of the rulers of the Synagoge, whose name was Iairus: and when he sawe him, he fel downe at his fete,


text:
and besought hym greatly, sayinge: my daughter lyeth at poynt of deeth, I pray the come, and laye thy hande on her, that she maye be safe and lyue.


text:
and had suffred many thinges of many physycions, & had spent all that she had, & felte none amendement at all, but rather was worsse, and worsse.


text:
And streyght waye the fountayne of her bloude was dryed vp, & she felt in her body, that she was healed of that plage.


text:
And Iesus immediatly felynge in him selfe, that vertue proceaded from him, tourned him aboute in the prease, and sayde, who touched my clothes?


text:
And hys dyscyples sayde vnto him: thou seest the people thrust the, and askest, thou who dyd touch me?


text:
But the woman fearing and trembling (knowyng what was done wyth in her) came, and fell downe before him, & tolde him all the truth.


text:
Whyll he yet spake, ther came from the ruler of the Synagoges house, certayne which sayd: thy daughter is deed: why diseasest thou the Master any further?


text:
Assone as Iesus hearde the worde that was spoken, he sayde vnto the ruler of the Synagoge: be not afrayed, onely beleue.


text:
And he came vnto the house of the ruler of the Synagoge, and sawe the wondringe: and them that wepte and wayled greatly,


text:
and went in, and sayde vnto them: why make ye this a doo, and wepe? The damosell is not deed, but slepeth.


text:
And they laught him to scorne. But he put them all out, and taketh the father and the mother of the damosell, and them that were wyth him, and entreth in where the damosell laye,


text:
& taketh the damosell by the hande & sayeth vnto hyr: Tabita, cumi: whych is (yf one do interprete it) damosell, I saye vnto the: aryse.


text:
And streyght waye the damosell arose, and walked. For she was of the age of twelue yeres. And they were astonyed out of measure.


text:
And when the Sabboth daye was come, he beganne to teache in the synagoge. And many that hearde hym were astonnyed, and sayd: from whence hath he these thynges? And what wysdome is thys that is geuen vnto hym: and suche vertues that are wrought by hys handes?


text:
Is not thys the carpenter Maryes sonne, the brother of Iames and Ioses and of Iuda & Symon? & are not hys systers here wyth vs? And they were offended at hym.


text:
Iesus sayd vnto them: a Prophet is not despysed, but in hys awne countre, and amonge hys awne kynne, and in his owne houshold.


text:
And he coulde there shewe no myracle, but layde hys handes vpon a fewe sycke folcke, and healed them,


text:
and merueyled, because of theyr vnbelefe. And he went aboute by the tounes that laye on euery syde, teaching.


text:
And he called the twelue, and beganne to sende them forth two & two, and gaue them power agaynst vncleane spretes.


text:
And commaunded them, that they shuld take nothing in their iorney saue a rodde onely: no scryppe, no bread, no money in theyr pourse,


text:
And whosoeuer shall not receaue you nor heare you, when ye departe thence, shake of the duste that is vnder youre fete, for a witnesse vnto them. I saye verely vnto you: it shalbe easier for Zodom & Gomor in the daye of iudgement, then for that cytie.


text:
And kynge Herode hearde of hym (for hys name was spred abroade) and he sayde: Iohn Baptyste is rysen agayne from the deed, & therfore myracles are wrought by him.


text:
For Herode hym selfe had sent forth men of warre, and layed handes vpon Iohn, and bounde hym, & cast hym into preson for Herodias sake, hys brother Phylyppes wyfe (because he had maryed her).


text:
For Herod feared Iohn, knowing that he was a iust man & an holy: & gaue hym reuerence: and when he hearde hym, he dyd many thynges, and hearde hym gladly.


text:
And when a conuenyent daye was come, that Herode on hys byrth daye, made a supper to the lordes hye captayns, & chefe estates of Galile:


text:
& whan the daughter of the same Herodias cam in, & daunsed, & pleased Herode & them that sate at bourde also: the kynge sayde vnto the damosell: aske of me what thou wilt, and I wyll geue it the.


text:
And he sware vnto hyr: whatsoeuer thou shalt aske of me, I wyll geue it the euen vnto the one halfe of my kyngdome.


text:
And she cam in streyght waye wyth haste vnto the kynge, & asked, sayinge: I wyll, that thou geue me by and by in a charger, the heed, of Iohn Baptyst.


text:
And the kynge was sory: howbeit for hys othes sake, and for theyr sakes whych sate at supper also, he wolde not cast her off.


text:
And immediatly the kyng sent the hangman, and commaunded hys head to be brought in. And he went, and beheaded hym in the preson,


text:
and brought his head in a charger, and gaue it to the damosell, and the damosell gaue it to her mother.


text:
And the Apostles gathered them selues together vnto Iesus, and told hym all thynges both what they had done, and what they had taught.


text:
And he sayd vnto them come ye alone out of the waye into the wyldernes, & rest a whyle. For there were many commers, and goers, and they had no leasure so moch as to eate.


text:
And the people spyed them when they departed: & many knewe hym, & ranne a fote thyther out of all cyties, and cam thyther before them, and came together vnto hym.


text:
And Iesus went out & sawe moche people, & had compassyon on them, because they were lyke shepe, not hauinge a shepherde. And he beganne to teach them many thynges.


text:
And when the daye was now farre spent, hys discyples came vnto hym, sayinge: thys is a desert place, and now the tyme is farre passed,


text:
let them departe, that they maye go into the countrey round about, and into the tounes, & bye them bread: for they haue nothynge to eate.


text:
He answered and sayd vnto them, geue ye them to eate. And they sayde vnto him: shall we go & bye two hundred penyworth of bread, & geue them to eate?


text:
He sayde vnto them: how many loaues haue ye. Go & loke. And when they had searched, they sayd: fyue & two fysshes.


text:
And whan he had taken the fyue loaues and the two fysshes, and loked vp to heauen, he blessed and brake the loaues, and gaue them to hys discyples, to set before them: & the two fysshes deuided he among them all:


text:
And streyght waye he caused his disciples to go into the shyppe, and to go ouer the see before vnto Bethsayda, whyle se sent awaye the people.


text:
& he sawe them troubled in rowynge, for the wynde was contrary vnto them. And aboute the fourth watch of the nyght, he came vnto them, walkynge vpon the see, and wolde haue passed by them.


text:
for they all sawe hym, and were afrayed. And anone he talked wyth them, and sayd vnto them: be of good cheare, it is I, be not afrayed.


text:
And he went vp vnto them into the shyppe, & the wynde ceased, & they were sore amased in them selues beyonde measure, and marueyled.


text:
and ranne forth through out all the regyon rounde about, & began to cary about in beddes those that were sycke, when they heard that he was there.


text:
And whyther soeuer he entred, into tounes, cytyes, or vyllages, they layde the sycke folkes in the streates, & prayed hym that they myght touche, & it were but the hemme of hys vesture. And as many as touched hym, were safe.


text:
And when they sawe certaine of his discyples eate bread wyth commen (that is to saye, with vnwesshen) handes, they complayned.


text:
For the Pharyses and all the Iewes, excepte they wasshe theyr handes ofte, eate not, obseruyng the tradicyons of the elders.


text:
And when they come from the market, except they washe, they eate not. And many other thynges there be, which they haue taken vpon them to obserue, as the wasshynge of cuppes and cruses, and, brasen vessels, and of tables.


text:
Then asked hym the Pharyses & Scribes: why walke not thy dyscyples accordyng to the custome, ordeyned by the elders, but eate bread wyth vnwasshen handes?


text:
He answered & sayd vnto them: well prophesyed Esayas of you, ypocrytes, as it is wrytten: Thys people honoreth me wyth theyr lyppes, but theyr herte is farre from me:


text:
For ye laye the commaundement of God a parte, & obserue the constitucyons of men, as the wesshinge of cruses & of cuppes, and many other soch lyke thynges ye do.


text:
And he sayde vnto them: well, ye cast a syde the commaundement of God, to mayntayne youre awne constitucyons.


text:
For Moses sayd: honoure thy father & thy mother: & whoso curseth father or mother, let him dye the death.


text:
But ye saye: a man shall saye to father or mother, Corban: whych is: what gyfte soeuer commeth fro me, shalbe for thy profyt.


text:
and make the worde of God of none effecte, through youre awne constitucyon whych ye haue ordeyned. And many soche thynges do ye.


text:
And whan he had called all the people vnto hym, he sayde vnto them: herken vnto me, euery one of you, and vnderstande.


text:
There is nothynge wyth out a man that can defyle him, when it entreth into him: but the thynges whych proceade out of a man, those are they that defyle the man.


text:
And he sayd vnto them: are ye also so greatly wyth out vnderstandinge? Do ye not yet perceaue, that what soeuer thynge from wtout, entreth into a man, it cannot defyle him,


text:
because it entreth not into his hert but into the bely: & goeth out into the draught, pourgyng out all meates?


text:
defyleth the man. For from wyth in, euen out of the herte of men proceade euyll thoughtes, aduoutry, fornicacyon, murther,


text:
And from thence he rose, & went into the borders of Tyre & Sidon: & entred into an house, & wolde that no man shuld haue knowen. But he coulde not be hyd.


text:
For a certayne woman (whose daughter had a foule sprete) as soone as she heard of hym, came, and fell at hys fete.


text:
The woman was a Greke out of the nacyon of Syrophenicia, & she besought him, that he wolde cast out the deuyl from her daughter.


text:
But Iesus sayd vnto her: let the chyldren fyrst be fedd. For it is not mete, to take the chyldrens bread, and to cast it vnto whelpes.


text:
She answered & sayde vnto hym: euen so lorde, neuerthelesse, the whelpes also eat vnder the table of the chyldrens cromes.


text:
And when she was come home to her house, she founde that the deuyll was departed, and her daughter lyinge on the bedd.


text:
And he departed agayne from the coastes of Tyre and Sidon, and came vnto the see of Galile thorow the myddes of the coastes of the ten cyties.


text:
And they broughte vnto him one that was deaffe and had an impediment in hys speche, and they prayd hym to put his hande vpon him.


text:
And when he had taken hym asyde from the people, he put hys fyngers into hys eares, and dyd spyt, & touched hys tonge,


text:
And strayght waye his eares were opened, and the stryng of his tounge was lowsed, and he spake playne.


text:
And he commaunded them, that they shulde tell no man. But the more he forbad them, so moch the more a greate deale they publisshed,


text:
saying: He hath done all thynges well, he hath made both the deaffe to heare, and the dome to speake.


text:
In those dayes when ther was a very great company, and had nothynge to eate. Iesus called his disciples to him, and sayde vnto them:


text:
I haue compassion on the people, because they haue nowe bene wt me thre dayes, and haue nothing to eate:


text:
and yf I sende them a waye fastyng to theyr awne houses, they shall faynt by the waye. For diuers of them came from farre.


text:
And his discyples answered hym: where shulde a man haue bread here in the wyldernes to satysfye these?


text:
And he commaunded the people to syt downe on the grounde. And he toke the seuen loaues, and whan he had geuen thanckes, he brake, and gaue to hys dyscyples, to set before them. And they did set them before the people.


text:
And they had a fewe small fysshes. And whan he had blessed, he commaunded them also to be sett before them.


text:
And they dyd eate, and were suffysed. And they toke vp of the broken meate that was left seuen baskettes full.


text:
And the Pharyses came forth, and beganne to dispute with hym, sekynge of hym a sygne from heauen, temptynge hym.


text:
And whan he had syghted in hys sprete, he sayeth: why doth thys generacyon seke a sygne? Uerely I saye vnto you, there shall no sygne be geuen vnto thys generacyon.


text:
And they had forgotten to take bread wt them, nether had they in the shyp with them more then one loafe.


text:
And he charged them, saying. Take hede, beware of the leuen of the Pharises, and of the leuen of Herode.


text:
And Iesus knewe it, and saith vnto them: why take ye thought, because ye haue no breed? perceaue ye not yet nether vnderstande? Haue ye youre hert yet blynded?


text:
When I brake fyue loaues among fyue thousande men, how many baskettes full of broken meat toke ye vp? They saye vnto him, twelue.


text:
When I brake seuen amonge foure thousand, how many baskettes of the leauynges of the broken meate toke ye vp? They sayd: seuen.


text:
And he caught the blynde by the hand, and lead him out of the towne: and whan he had spyt in his eyes, and put his handes vpon him, he asked him yf he sawe ought.


text:
After that, he put hys handes agayne vpon hys eyes, and made hym se. And he was restored, and sawe euery man clearly.


text:
And he sent him home to his house, saieng: nether go into the towne, ner tel it to eny in the towne.


text:
And Iesus went out, & hys disciples into the townes that longe to the cytie called, Cesarea Philippi. And by the waye he asked his disciples, saying vnto them: whom do men saye that I am?


text:
And they answered: some saye, that thou art Iohn baptist, & some saye, Helias. Agayne, some saye, that that thou arte one of the nombre of the prophetes.


text:
And he sayde vnto them: but whom saye ye that I am? Peter answereth & sayth vnto him: thou art very Christ.


text:
And he beganne to teach them how that the sonne of man must suffre many thinges, and be reproued of the elders, and of the hye prestes, and scribes, and be kylled, & after thre dayes aryse agayne.


text:
But he turned about, and loked on hys disciples, and rebuked Peter, saying: Go after me Satan. For thou sauerest not the thinges that be of God, but the thynges that be of men.


text:
And when he had called the people vnto hym with hys discyples also, he sayde vnto them. Whosoeuer wyll folowe me, lett hym forsake him self, and take vp hys crosse, and folowe me.


text:
For whosoeuer wil saue his life, shal lose it. But whosoeuer shal lose his life, for my sake & the gospels, the same shall saue it.


text:
Whosoeuer therfore shalbe asshamed of me and of my wordes, in thys aduoutrous and synfull generacion: of hym also shall the sonne of man be asshamed, when he commeth in the glorye of hys father with the holy angels.


text:
And he sayd vnto them: Uerely, I saye vnto you: Ther be some among them that stande here, which shall not taste of death, tyll they haue sene the kyngdome of God come with power.


text:
And after sixe dayes Iesus taketh Peter and Iames, and Iohn, and leedeth them vp into an hye mountayne out of the waye alone: and he was transfigured before them.


text:
And hys rayment dyd shyne, and became very whyte, euen as snowe: so whyt as no fuller can make vpon the earth.


text:
And Peter answered & sayth to Iesu: Master, here is good beynge for vs: let vs make also .iij. tabernacles, one for the, and one for Moses, and one for Helias.


text:
And there was a cloude that shadowed them. And a voyce came out of the cloude, saying: Thys is my beloued sonne: heare hym.


text:
And as they came downe from the hyll, he charged them, that they shuld tell no man those thynges that they had sene, tyll the sonne of man were rysen from death agayne.


text:
And they kepte that saieng with them, and demaunded one of another, what the rysyng from death agayne shulde meane?


text:
He answered and sayd: vnto them: Helias verely when he commeth fyrst, restoreth all thynges. And the sonne of man (as it is writen of him) shall suffre many thynges, & be sett at naught.


text:
But I saye vnto you, thut Helias is come, and they haue done vnto hym whatsoeuer they wolde, as it was wryten of hym.


text:
And streight waye all the people (whan they behelde hym) were amased, and ran to hym, & saluted hym.


text:
And one of the company answered, & sayde: Master, I haue brought vnto the my sonne, whych hath a dome sprete.


text:
And whensoeuer he taketh him, he teareth him, and he fometh, and gnassheth with hys teth, and pineth awaye. And I spake to thy disciples that they shuld caste hym out, and they coulde not.


text:
He answereth him, and sayth: O faithles nacion, how longe shall I be wt you? How longe shall I suffre you? Brynge hym vnto me.


text:
And they brought him vnto hym. And assone as the sprete sawe hym, he tare him. And he fell downe on the ground, walowing & foming.


text:
& oft tymes it hath cast hym into the fyre, & into the water, to destroye hym. But yf thou canst do eny thing, haue mercy on vs and helpe vs.


text:
And streyght waye the father of the chyld cried with teares, saieng, Lord, I beleue, helpe thou myne vnbelefe.


text:
When Iesus sawe that the people came runnyng together vnto him, he rebuked the foule sprete, saying vnto hym: Thou domme & deeff sprete, I charge the come out of him, and entre nomore into him.


text:
And the sprete (whan he had cried, & rent hym sore) came out of hym, and he was as one that had bene dead, in so moch that many sayd: he is deed.


text:
And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked hym secretly: why coulde not we cast hym oute?


text:
And they departed thens, & toke theyr iorney thorow Galile, and he wold not, that eny man shuld knowe it.


text:
For he taught hys disciples, and sayd vnto them: the sonne of man shalbe deliuered into the handes of men, and they shall kyll hym: and after that he is kylled, he shall aryse agayne the thyrd daye.


text:
And he came to Capernaum. And when he was come into the house, he asked them: what was it that ye disputed among yourselues by the waye?


text:
And they helde their peace: for by the waye they had reasoned among them selues, who shuld be the chefest.


text:
And when he was set downe, he called the twelue to hym, and sayd vnto them: yf eny man desyre to be fyrst, the same shalbe last of all, and seruaunt to all.


text:
And he toke a chylde, and set hym in the myddes of them: & when he had taken hym in hys armes, he sayde vnto them:


text:
whosoeuer receaueth eny soche a childe in my name, receaueth me. And whosoeuer receaueth me, receaueth not me, but hym that sent me.


text:
Iohn answered hym, sayinge: Master, we sawe one cast out deuyls in thy name, & he foloweth not vs: and we forbade hym, because he foloweth vs not.


text:
But Iesus sayde: forbyd him not. For ther is no man whych (yf he do a myracle in my name) can lyghtely speake euill of me.


text:
Whosoeuer shall in my name geue you a cuppe of water to drincke, because ye belonge to Chryste, verely I saye vnto you: he shall not loose hys reward.


text:
And whosoeuer shall offende one of these lytelons, that beleue in me, it were better for hym, yf a mylstone were hanged aboute his necke, and he were cast into the see.


text:
Wherfore yf thy hande hynder the, cut it of. It is beter for the, to entre into lyfe maymed, then (hauynge two handes) to go into hell, into fyre that neuer shalbe quenched,


text:
And yf thy fote be a hynderaunce vnto the, cut it of. It is better for the to go halt into lyfe, then (hauynge two fete) to be cast into hell, into fyre that neuer shalbe quenched:


text:
And yf thyne eye hinder the plucke it out. It is better for the to go into the kyngedome of God wyth one eye, then (hauynge two eyes) to be cast into hell fyre:


text:
Salt is good. But yf the salt be vnsauery, what shall ye season ther wyth? haue salt in youre selues: and haue peace amonge youre selues, one wyth another.


text:
And whan he rose from thence, he went into the coastes of Iurye through the regyon that is beyonde Iordan: And the people resorted vnto hym a freshe. and as he was wont, he taught them agayne.


text:
And Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: For the hardnes of youre herte he wrote thys precept vnto you.


text:
And he sayeth vnto them. Whosoeuer putteth awaye hys wyfe, & maryeth another, breaketh wedlocke to her warde.


text:
And they brought chyldren to hym, that he shulde touch them. And hys discyples rebuked those that brought them.


text:
But when Iesus sawe it, he was dyspleased & sayd vnto them: Suffre the children to come vnto me, forbyd them not. For of soch is the kyngdome of God.


text:
Uerely I saye vnto you, whosoeuer doth not receaue the kyngdome of God as a childe, he shal not entre therin.


text:
And when he was gone forth into the waye, ther came one runnynge and kneled to hym, & asked hym: good master, what shal I do, that I maye enheret eternall lyfe?


text:
Thou knowest the commaundementes: breake not matrimony: kyll not: steale not, beare no false wytnes: defraude no man: honoure thy father and mother.


text:
Iesus behelde hym, and fauoured hym, and sayd vnto hym: one thynge thou lackest. Go thy waye Sell that thou hast, and geue to the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come, folowe me and take vp my crosse vpon thy shulders.


text:
But he was discomforted because of that sayinge, and went awaye mournyng for he had great possessyons.


text:
And whan Iesus had looked rounde aboute, he sayde vnto his discyples. How vneasye shall they that haue money: entre into the kyngdome of God.


text:
And the discyples were astonnyed at hys wordes. But Iesus answereth againe, & sayeth vnto them: children, how harde is it for them, that trust in money, to entre into the kingdome of God?


text:
It is easyer for a camell to go thorow the eye of an nedle, then for the ryche to entre into the kyngdome of God.


text:
Iesus loked vpon them, and sayd. with men it is vnpossible, but not with God: for with God all thynges are possyble.


text:
Iesus answered, & sayde: Uerely I saye vnto you, ther is no man that hath forsaken house, or brethren, or systers, or father, or mother, or wyfe, or chyldren, or landes for my sake & the Gospelles,


text:
but he shall receaue an hundred foold nowe in this lyfe, houses and brethren, and systers, and mothers, and chyldren, and landes wyth persecucyons: & in the worlde to come, eternall lyfe.


text:
And they were in the waye goynge vp to Ierusalem. And Iesus went before them, and they were amased, & folowed, and were afrayde. And Iesus toke the twelue agayne, and beganne to tell them what thynges shulde happen vnto hym.


text:
Beholde, we go vp to Ierusalem, & the sonne of man shalbe delyuered vnto the hye Prestes and vnto the Scribes: and they shall condemne hym to deeth, and shall delyuer hym to the gentyls,


text:
and they shall mocke hym, and scourge hym, spyt vpon him, and kyll hym. And thyrde daye he shall ryse agayne.


text:
And Iames and Iohn the sonnes of Zebede came vnto him, sayinge: Master: we wolde, that thou shuldest do for vs whatsoeuer we desyre.


text:
They sayde vnto hym: graunt vnto vs, that we maye sytte, one on thy ryght hande, and the other on thy lyfte hande, in thy glory.


text:
But Iesus sayd vnto them: Ye wote not what ye aske: Can ye dryncke of the cup, that I dryncke of? and be baptysed wyth the baptyme, that I am baptysed with?


text:
And they sayde vnto hym: that we can. Iesus sayde vnto them: ye shall in dede dryncke of the cup that I dryncke of: and wyth the baptyme that I am baptysed wyth all, shall ye be baptysed in:


text:
but to syt on my ryght hande & on my lyfte hande, is not myne to geue, but it shall happen vnto them, for whom it is prepared.


text:
But Iesus whan he had called them to hym, sayd vnto them: ye knowe, that they whych are sene to beare rule amonge the people, raygne as Lordes ouer them.


text:
And they that be greate amonge them, exercyse auctoryte vpon them. Neuertheles, so shall it not be amonge you: but whosoeuer of you wylbe greate amonge you, shalbe youre mynister.


text:
For the sonne of man also came not to be mynystred vnto: but to mynister, and to geue hys lyfe for the redempcyon of many.


text:
And they came to Hierico: And as he went out of the cytie of Hierico wyth his dyscyples, and a greate nombre of people: blynde Bartymeus the sonne of Tymeus, sate by the hye wayes syde beggyng.


text:
And when he hearde that it was Iesus of Nazazeth, be began to crye, and to saye: Iesus, thou sonne of Dauid, haue mercy on me.


text:
And many rebuked hym, that he shuld holde hys peace. But he cryed the more a greate deale: thou sonne of Dauid haue mercy on me.


text:
And Iesus stode styll, and commaunded hym to be called: And they called the blynde, sayinge vnto hym: Be of good comforte: ryse he calleth the.


text:
And Iesus answered, and sayde vnto hym: what wylt thou that I do vnto the? The blynde sayde vnto hym: Master, that I myght se.


text:
Iesus sayde vnto hym: go thy waye, thy fayth hath saued the. And immediatly he receaued hys syght, & folowed Iesus in the waye.


text:
And when they came nye to Ierusalem vnto Betphage & Bethanie, besydes mount Olyuete, he sendeth forth two of hys discyples,


text:
and sayeth vnto them: Go youre waye into the toune, that is ouer agaynst you. And as sone as ye be entred into it: ye shall fynde a colte bounde, wheron neuer man sate: lose hym, and brynge hym hither.


text:
And yf eny man saye vnto you: why do ye so? Saye ye, that the Lorde hath neade of hym: and streyght waye he wyll sende hym hyther.


text:
And they went theyr waye, and found the colte tyed by the dore wythout in a place wher two wayes met, & they losed hym.


text:
And many sprede theyr garmentes in the waye. Other cut downe braunches of the trees, and strawed them in the waye.


text:
And they that went before and they that folowed: cryed, saying. Hosanna: blessed is he that commeth in the name of the Lorde.


text:
Blessed be the kyngdome, that commeth in the name of hym that is Lorde of oure father Dauid: Hosanna in the hyest


text:
And the Lorde entred into Ierusalem and into the temple. And when he had loked round about vpon all thynges, and now the euen tyde was come, he went out vnto Bethany wyth the twelue.


text:
And whan he had spyed a fyg tree a farre of, hauynge leaues, he came to se, yf he myght fynde eny thynge theron. And when he came to it, he founde nothynge but leaues: for the tyme of fygges was not yet.


text:
And Iesus answered, and sayde vnto the fygg tre: neuer man eate frute of the here after whyll the worlde standeth. And hys discyples hearde it.


text:
And they came to Ierusalem. And Iesus went into the temple, & beganne to cast out them that solde and bought in the temple, and ouer threwe the tables of the money chaungers, & the stoles of them that solde doues:


text:
And he taught, sayinge vnto them: is it not wrytten: my house shalbe called the house of prayer vnto all nacyons? But ye haue made it a denne of theues.


text:
And the Scrybes and hye prestes hearde it, and sought howe to destroye hym. For they feared hym, because all the people marueled at hys doctryne.


text:
And Peter remembred, and sayde vnto him: master, beholde, the fygg tree whych thou cursedst, is wyddred awaye.


text:
Uerely I saye vnto you, that whosoeuer shall saye vnto thys mountayne: remoue, and cast thy selfe into the see, and shall not doute in hys herte, but shall beleue that those thinges which he sayeth shal come to passe, whatsoeuer he sayeth he shall haue.


text:
Therfore I saye vnto you, what thinges soeuer ye desyre when ye praye, beleue that ye receaue them, and ye shall haue them.


text:
And when ye stand & praye, forgeue, yf ye haue ought agaynst eny man, that youre father also whych is in heauen, maye forgeue you youre trespasses.


text:
And they came agayne to Ierusalem. And as he walked in the temple, ther came to him the hye Prestes, & the Scrybes, & the elders,


text:
and saye vnto hym: by what auctorite doest thou these thynges? and who gaue the thys auctorite, to do these thynges?


text:
Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them: I wyll also aske of of you a certayne thynge & answere ye me, & I will tell you by what auctorite I do these thinges.


text:
And they thought in them selues, sayinge: yf we saye, from heauen: he wyll saye why then did ye not beleue hym?


text:
but yf they had sayd, of men, they feared the people. For all men counted Iohn, that he was a verye Prophete.


text:
And they answered & sayd vnto Iesu: we cannot tell. And Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them: nether will I tell you by what auctorite I do these thinges.


text:
And he beganne to speake vnto them by parables. A certayne man planted a vyneyarde, and compassed it aboute wt an hedge, and ordeined a wyne presse, and bylt a toure, and let it out to hyre vnto husbandmen, and went into a straunge countre.


text:
And when the tyme was come, he sent to the husbandmen a seruaunt, that he myght receaue of the husbandmen of the frute of the vyneyarde.


text:
And moreouer, he sent vnto them another seruaunt, and at hym they cast stones and brake hys heed, & sent him awaye agayne all to reuyled.


text:
And so whan he had yet but one beloued sonne, he sent him also at the last vnto them, sayinge: they wyll feare my sonne.


text:
But the husbandmen sayd amongest them selues: this is the heyre: come let vs kyl him, & the inheritaunce shalbe oures.


text:
What shall therfore the Lorde of the vyneyarde do? He shall come, ad destroye the husbandmen, & let out the vyneyarde vnto other.


text:
Haue ye not red this scrypture? The stone whych the buylders dyd refuse, is become the chefe stoone of the corner?


text:
They went about also to take him, & feared the people. For they knewe, that he had spoken the parable agaynst them. And they left hym and went theyr waye:


text:
And assone as they were come, they sayd vnto him: Master, we knowe that thou arte true, & carest for no man: for thou consyderest not the outward appearaunce of men, but teachest the waye of God truly: Is it laufull to paye tribute to Cesar, or not?


text:
Ought we to geue, or ought we not to geue? But he vnderstode theyr symulacyon, and sayd vnto them: Why tempte ye me? Bringe me a peny, that I maye se it.


text:
And they brought it. And he sayeth vnto them: Whose is thys ymage & superscripcyon? And they sayde vnto hym: Cesars.


text:
And Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them: Geue to Cesar the thinges that belonge to Cesar: and to God, the thynges whych perteyne to God. And they meruelled at hym.


text:
There came also vnto hym the Saduces, whych saye that ther is no resurreccyon. And they asked hym sayinge:


text:
Master Moses wrote vnto vs, yf eny mans brother dye, and leaue hys wyfe behynde hym, and leaue no chyldren: that hys brother shuld take hys wyfe, and reyse vp seed vnto hys brother.


text:
In the resurreccyon therfore when they shall ryse agayne: whose wyfe shall she be of them? For seuen had her to wyfe.


text:
And Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them: Do ye not therfore erre, because ye vnderstande not the scriptures, nether the power of God?


text:
For when they shall ryse agayne from deeth, they nether mary, nor are maryed: but are as the angels, whych are in heauen.


text:
As touching the deed, that they ryse agayne: haue ye not redde in the boke of Moses, how in the bushe, God spake vnto hym, sayinge: I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob?


text:
And whan ther came one of the Scrybes, and had hearde them disputynge to gether (and perceaued that he had answered them well) he asked hym: whych is the fyrst of all the commaundementes?


text:
Iesus answered him, the fyrste of all the commaundementes is: Heare O Israell: The Lorde oure God, is Lord onely:


text:
And thou shalt loue the Lorde thy God with all thy hert, & wyth all thy soule, and wyth all thy mynde, and with all thy strength. This is the fyrste commaundment.


text:
And the seconde is lyke vnto thys: Thou shalt loue thy neyghbour as thy selfe. Ther is none other commaundment greater then these.


text:
And the Scrybe sayde vnto him: well master, thou hast sayd the truthe, for ther is one God, & ther is none but he.


text:
And to loue hym wyth all the herte, and wyth all the mynde, & wyth all the soule, & wyth all the strength: and to loue a mans neyghbour as hym selfe, is a greater thynge, then all burt offerynges and sacrifyces.


text:
And when Iesus sawe that he answered discretly, he sayde vnto hym: Thou art not farre from the kyngdome of God. And no man after that, durst aske hym any questyon.


text:
And Iesus answered & sayde, teachinge in the temple: how saye the Scrybes that Chryst is the sonne of Dauid?


text:
for Dauid him selfe inspired wt the holy goost, sayd: The Lorde sayde to my Lorde, syt on my ryght hande tyll I make thyne enemyes thy fote stole.


text:
And he sayde vnto them in his doctrine: beware of the Scribes, which loue to go in longe clothynge: & loue salutacions in the market places,


text:
whych deuoure wydowes houses, and vnder a pretence, make longe prayers. These shall receaue greater dampnacyon.


text:
And whan Iesus sat ouer agaynst the treasury, he behelde, how the people put money into the treasury. And many that were ryche, cast in moch.


text:
And he called vnto him hys discyples & sayeth vnto them. Uerely I saye vnto you, that thys poore wydowe hath cast moare in, then all they which haue cast into the treasury.


text:
For they all dyd cast in of their superfluyte: but she of her pouerte, dyd cast in all that she had, euen all her lyuynge.


text:
And as he went of the temple, one of his discyples sayde vnto hym: Master, se what stones, and what byldynges are here.


text:
And Iesus answered and sayde vnto hym: Seest thou these greate buyldynges? There shall not be lefte one stone vpon another, that shall not be throwen downe.


text:
And as he sate on mounte Olyuete, ouer agaynst the temple, Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and Andrew, asked hym secretly:


text:
When ye shall heare of warres, and tydinges of warres, be ye not troubled. For soch thynges must nedes be? But the ende is not yet.


text:
For ther shall nacyon aryse agaynste nacyon, and kyngdome agaynste kyngdome. And ther shalbe erth quakes in all quarters, and famyshment shall ther be, and troubles. These are the begynnynge of sorowes.


text:
But take ye hede to youre selues. For they shall brynge you vp to the counsels, and into the synagoges, and ye shalbe beaten: yee, and shalbe brought before rulers and kinges for my sake, for a testimoniall vnto them.


text:
But when they leade you and present you, take ye no thought, nether ymagin aforehande what ye shall saye: but what soeuer is geuen you in the same houre, that speake. For it is not ye that speake, but the holy ghost.


text:
The brother shall delyuer vp the brother to deeth, and the father the sonne: and the chyldren shall ryse agaynste theyr fathers & mothers, and shall put them to deeth.


text:
And ye shall be hated of all men for my names sake. But whoso endureth vnto the ende, the same shalbe safe.


text:
Moreouer, when ye se the abhominacion of desolacion (wherof is spoken by Daniel the prophet) stand where it ought not: let hym that readeth vnderstand. Then lett them that be in Iurye, flye to the mountaynes.


text:
And let hym that is on the house toppe, not go downe into the house, nether entre therin, to fetch eny thing out of his house.


text:
And let him that is in the felde, not tourne backe agayne vnto the thinges which he left behynde him, for to take his clothes with him.


text:
For ther shalbe in those dayes suche tribulacion, as was not from the begynnyng of creatures (which God created) vnto this tyme, nether shalbe.


text:
And excepte that the Lord shuld shorten those dayes no flesshe shulde be saued. But for the electes sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened those dayes.


text:
For false Christes & false prophetes shall ryse, & shall shewe myracles & wondres, to deceaue yf it were possible, euen the electe.


text:
Moreouer, in those dayes, after that tribulacion, the sonne shall wexe darke, and the mone shal not geue her light,


text:
And then shall he sende hys angels, & shall gather together his electe from the fowre wyndes, from the ende of the erthe, to the vttemost parte of heauen.


text:
Learne a symilitude of the fygge tree. When his braunche is yet tender, and hath brought forth leaues, ye knowe, that sommer is neare.


text:
So ye in lyke maner: when ye se these thynges come to passe: vnderstand, that he is nye euen at the dores.


text:
But of that daye & tyme knoweth no man: no not the Angels which are in heauen: nether the sonne him selfe: saue the father only.


text:
As a man which is gone into a straunge contrey, and hath lefte his house, and geuen his substaunce to his seruauntes, and to euery man his worke, and commaunded the porter to watche.


text:
Watche ye therfore, for ye knowe not when the master of the house will come, at euen, or at mydnyght, whether at the cocke crowyng, or in the dawnynge:


text:
After two dayes was Easter, and the dayes of swete breed And the hye Prestes and the Scribes sought, how they myghte take hym by crafte, & put him to deeth.


text:
And whan he was at Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, euen as he sate at meate, ther cam a woman hauyng an alabaster boxe of oyntment, called Narde, that was pure and costly: & she brake the boxe, & powred it on his heed.


text:
And ther were some, that were not content wyth in them selues, & sayde: what neded this waste of oyntment?


text:
For it myght haue bene solde for more then thre hundred pens, & haue bene geuen vnto the poore. And they grudged agaynst her.


text:
For ye haue poore wt you all wayes & when soeuer ye wyll, ye maye do them good: but me haue ye not alwayes.


text:
Uerely I saye vnto you: wheresoeuer this Gospell shalbe preached thorow out the whole worlde: this also that she hath done, shalbe rehearsed in remembraunce of her.


text:
When they herde that, they were glad, and promysed that they wolde geue hym money. And he sought, how he myght conueniently betraye him.


text:
And the fyrste daye of swete breed (when they offred Passeouer) his disciples sayd vnto him: where wylt thou that we go & prepare, that thou mayest eate the Passeouer?


text:
And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, & sayeth vnto them: Go ye into the cytie, & ther shall mete you a man bearing a pitcher of water, folowe him.


text:
And whither soeuer he goeth in, saye ye to the good man of the house, the master sayeth: where is the geest chambre, where I shall eate passeouer wyth my disciples?


text:
And hys disciples went forth, and came into the cytie, and founde as he had sayde vnto them: and they made ready the Passeouer.


text:
And as they sate at borde & dyd eate Iesus sayde: Uerely I saye vnto you: one of you (that eateth with me) shall betraye me.


text:
The sonne of man trulye goeth as it is wrytten of him: but wo to that man by whom the sonne of man is betrayed. Good were it for that man, yf he had neuer bene borne.


text:
And as they dyd eate, Iesus toke breed: and whan he had geuen thankes he brake it, and gaue to them, and sayde: Take, eate, this is my body.


text:
Uerely I saye vnto you: I wyll dryncke nomore of the frute of the vyne: vntyll that daye, that I drincke it newe in the kyngdome of God.


text:
And Iesus sayeth vnto them: All ye shalbe offended because of me this nyght. For it is written: I wyll smyte the shepherd, & the shepe shalbe scattered:


text:
And Iesus sayeth vnto him: Uerely I saye vnto the, that this daye, euen, in this nyght before the cocke crowe twyse, thou shalt denye me thre tymes.


text:
But he spake more vehemently: no, yf I shulde dye with the, I wyll not denye the. Lyke wyse also sayde they all.


text:
And they came into a place which was named Gethsemani. And he sayeth to his disciples: Syt ye here, whyle I go asyde, and praye.


text:
And he went forth a lytle & fell downe flatt on the grounde, & prayed: that yf it were possible, the houre myght passe from him.


text:
And he sayde: Abba father, all thinges are possible vnto the, take awaye this cup from me. Neuerthelesse, not that I will: but that thou wilt, be done.


text:
And he cam & founde them slepyng, & sayeth to Peter: Simon, slepest thou? Couldest not thou watche one houre?


text:
watche ye, & praye, leest ye entre into temptacion, the sprete trulye is ready, but the flesh is weake.


text:
And he returned, & founde them a slepe agayne. For their eyes were heuy: nether wist they, what to answere him.


text:
And he came the thirde tyme & sayde vnto them: slepe hens forth, and take youre ease, it is ynough. The houre is come, beholde, the sonne of man is betrayed into the handes of synners.


text:
And immediatly whill he yet spake, commeth Iudas (which was one of the twelue) & with him a greate nomber of people wyth sweardes and staues from the hye Prestes and Scrybes & elders.


text:
And he that betrayed him, had geuen them a generall token, saying: whosoeuer I do kysse, that same is he: take him & leade him awaye warely.


text:
And as sone as he was come, he goeth streight waye to him, & sayeth vnto him: Master, Master, & kyssed him:


text:
And one of them that stode by, drue out a swearde, and smote a seruaunt of the hye Preste, & cut of his eare.


text:
And Iesus answered & sayd vnto them: ye be come out as vnto a thefe wt sweardes & wt staues, for to take me.


text:
I was daylye wt you in the temple, teachinge, & ye toke me not: but these thinges come to passe, that the scriptures shuld be fulfylled.


text:
And there folowed him a certayne younge man, clothed in lynnen vpon the bare, & the yongmen caught him,


text:
And they ledd Iesus awaye to the hyest Preste of all & with him come all the hye Prestes, & the elders, & the Scribes.


text:
And Peter folowed him a greate waye of (euen tyll he was come into the palace of the hye preste) and he sat with the seruauntes, and warmed him selfe at the fyre.


text:
And the hye Prestes & all the counsell sought for witnes agaynst Iesu, to put hym to death, & founde none:


text:
We herde him saye: I will destroye this temple that is made wyth handes, and wyth in thre dayes I wyll buylde another, made without handes.


text:
And the hye Preste stode vp amongest them, and asked Iesus, sayinge: answerest thou nothinge? How is it that these beare witnes agaynst the?


text:
But he helde his peace, & answered nothing. Agayne the hyeste Preste asked him, & sayde vnto him. Art thou Christ the sonne of the blessed?


text:
And Iesus sayd: I am. And ye shall se the sonne of man sytting on the ryght hand of power, & commyng in the cloudes of heauen.


text:
And some beganne to spit at him, & to couer his face, & to beate him with fistes, and to saye vnto him, Areade: And the seruauntes boffeted him on the face.


text:
& when she sawe Peter warminge hym self, she loketh on hym, & sayeth: wast not thou also wt Iesus of Nazareth?


text:
And he denyed, saying: I knowe hym not, nether wote I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porche, and the cocke crewe.


text:
And a damsell (whan she sawe him) beganne agayne to saye to them that stode by, this is one of them.


text:
And he denyed it agayne. And an one after, they that stode by, sayde agayne to Peter: suerly thou art one of them, for thou art of Galyle, & thy speache agreth therto.


text:
And agayne the cocke krewe, & Peter remembred the worde that Iesus sayde vnto him: before the cocke crowe twyse, thou shalt denye me thre tymes. And he beganne to wepe.


text:
And anone in the dawninge the hye Prestes helde a counsell wt the elders & the Scrybes, & the whole congregacion, & bounde Iesus, & ledde him awaye, & deliuered him to Pilate.


text:
And Pilate asked him: art thou the kynge of the Iewes? And he answered, & sayd vnto hym: thou sayest it.


text:
So Pilate asked him agayne, sayinge: Answerest thou nothing? Beholde, how many thinges they lay vnto thy charge.


text:
And ther was one that was named Barrabas, whych laye bounde with them that made insurreccyon: he had commytted murther.


text:
And the people called vnto him, and began to desyre him, that he wolde do, accordynge as he had euer done vnto them.


text:
Pylate answered agayne, and sayde vnto them: What wyll ye then that I do vnto him, whom ye call the kyng of the Iewes?


text:
And so Pylate wyllinge to content the people, let lose Barrabas vnto them & delyuered vp Iesus (when he had scourged hym) for to be crucifyed.


text:
And they smote hym, on the heed wt a rede and dyd spitt vpon hym & bowed their knees, & worshyped him.


text:
And when they had mocked him, they toke the purple of hym, & put his awne clothes on him, & ledde hym out, to crucifye him.


text:
And they compelled one that passed by, called Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus) which came out of the felde, to beare his crosse.


text:
And they brought him to a place named Golgotha (whych is yf a man interprete it: the place of deed mens sculles)


text:
And when they had crucifyed him they parted hys garmentes, castinge lotes vpon them, what euery man shulde take.


text:
And they that went by, rayled on hym: wagging their heedes, and saying: A wretche thou that destroyest the temple, and byldest it in thre dayes:


text:
Lykewyse also mocked hym the hye Prestes amonge them selues with the Scrybes & sayde, he saued other men, hym selfe he cannot saue.


text:
Let Christ the kynge of Israell descende now from the crosse, that we maye se, & beleue. And they that were crucifyed with him checked him also.


text:
And at the nynth houre Iesus cryed with a loude voyce, saying: Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? whych is (yf one interpret it) my God, my God why hast thou forsaken me?


text:
And one ran, and fylled a sponge full of veneger, and put it on a rede, & gaue him to drincke, sayinge: let him alone, let vs se, whether Helias wyll come and take hym downe:


text:
And when the Centurion (which stode before him) sawe, that he so cryed, and gaue vp the goost, he sayde: truly this man, was the sonne of God.


text:
Ther were also wemen a good waye of, beholdinge him: amonge whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of Iames the lytle: & of Ioses, & Mary Salome


text:
(which also when he was in Galile had folowed him & mynistred vnto him) and many other wemen, whych came vp with him vnto Ierusalem.


text:
Ioseph of the cite of Aramathia, a noble Councellour which also loked for the kyngdome of God, came, & went in boldely vnto Pilate, & begged of hym the body of Iesu.


text:
And Pilate merueled, that he was alredy deed, and called vnto him the Centurion, and asked of him, whether he had bene eny whyle deed.


text:
And he bought a lynnen clothe, and toke him downe, and wrapped him in the lynnen clothe, and layde him in a sepulcre, that was hewen out of the rocke.


text:
And when the Saboth was past, Mary Magdalen, & Mary Iacob, & Salome, bought swete odoures, that they myght come, & anoynt him?


text:
And early in the mornyng the fyrst daye of the Sabboth they came vnto the sepulcre, when the Sonne was rysen.


text:
And they went into the sepulcre, and sawe a younge man syttyng on the ryghtsyde, clothed in a longe white garment, & they were afrayed.


text:
And he sayeth vnto them, be not afrayed: ye seke Iesus of Nazareth, whych was crucifyed. He is rysen, he is not here. Beholde the place where they had put him.


text:
But goo youre waye, and tell his disciples, & Peter, that he goeth before you into Galile: there shall ye se him, as he sayd vnto you.


text:
And they went oute quyckly, and fledd from the sepulcre. For they trembled & were amased. Nether sayde they eny thynge to eny man, for they were afrayed.


text:
When Iesus was rysen early the fyrst daye after the Sabboth he appeared fyrst to Mary Magdalen, out of whom he had cast seuen deuyls.


text:
After that, appeared he vnto two of them in a straunge fygure, as they walked, & went in to the country.


text:
Afterwarde he appeared vnto the eleuen as they sate at meate: and cast in their teth their vnbelefe, and hardnes of herte: because they beleued not them whych had sene that he was rysen agayne from the deed.


text:
And these tokens shall folowe them that beleue. In my name they shall cast out deuyls, they shall speake with newe tonges,


text:
they shall dryue awaye serpentes. And yf they drynke any deadly thynge, it shall not hurte them. They shall laye their handes on the sycke, & they shall recouer.


text:
So then, when the Lorde had spoken vnto them he was receaued into heauen, and is on the right hand of God.


text:
And they went forth, and preached euery where: the Lorde workyng with them and confyrmyng the worde with myracles folowing.


text:
For as moche as many haue taken in hande to set forth the declaracion of those thinges, which are most surely to be beleued amonge vs,


text:
euen as they delyuered them vnto vs, whych from the begyndyng sawe them them selues with their eyes, and were ministers of the thinges that they declared:


text:
I determyned also (as sone as I had searched out dyligently all thinges from the begynnyng) that then I wolde wryte vnto the, good Theophilus:


text:
There was in the dayes of Herode the Kynge of Iurie, a certayne Preste named Zacharias of the course of Abia. And his wyfe was of the daughters of Aaron: and her name was Elizabeth:


text:
they were, both ryghteous before God, and walked in all the lawes and ordynaunces of the Lorde, that no man coulde fynde fawte with them.


text:
And they had no chylde, because that Elizabeth was barren, and they booth were now well stricken in age.


text:
And he went into the temple of the Lorde, & the whoale multitude of the people were without in prayer, whill the incense was a burninge.


text:
And ther appeared vnto him an Angell of the Lorde, standynge on the ryght syde of the aultare of incense.


text:
But the Angell sayde vnto him: feare not Zachary, for thy prayer is hearde. And thy wyfe Elizabeth shall beare the a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Iohn,


text:
For he shalbe greate in the syght of the Lorde, and shall nether drincke wyne ner stronge drincke. And he shalbe fylled with the holy goost, euen from his mothers wombe:


text:
And he shall go before him in the sprite & power of Helias to tourne the hertes of the fathers to the children, and the vnbeleuers to the wysdome of the iuste men, to make readye a perfecte people for the Lorde.


text:
And Zacharias sayde vnto the angell: by what token shall I knowe this? For I am olde, and my wyfe well strycken in yeres.


text:
And the angell answered, and sayd vnto him. I am Gabriel, that stande in the presens of God, and am sent to speake vnto the: and to shewe the these glad tydinges.


text:
And beholde it shall come to passe, that thou shalt be domme, and not be hable to speake, vntill the daye that these thinges be performed, because thou beleuedst not my wordes, which shalbe fulfylled in their season.


text:
And when he came out, he coulde not speke vnto them. And they perceaued, that he had sene a visyon in the temple. And he beckened vnto them, and remayned speachlesse.


text:
Thys wyse hath God dealte with me, in the dayes wherin he hath loked on me, to take from me my rebuke amonge men.


text:
to a virgin spoused to a man, whose name was Ioseph, of the house of Dauid, and the virgins name was Mary.


text:
And the angell went in vnto her, and sayde. Hayle full of grace, the Lorde is with the: blessed art thou amonge wemen.


text:
When she sawe him, she was abasshed at his sayinge: and cast in her mynde, what maner of salutacion that shulde be.


text:
He shalbe greate, & shalbe called the sonne of the hyest. And the Lorde God shall geue vnto him the seate of his father Dauid


text:
And the angell answered, & sayde vnto her. The holy goost shall come vpon the, and the power of the hyest shall ouer shaddowe the. Therfore also that holy thynge which shalbe borne, shalbe called the sonne of God.


text:
And beholde, thy cosyn Elizabeth, she hath also conceaued a sonne in her age. And this is her syxt moneth, which was called barren:


text:
And Mary sayde: beholde the hande mayden of the Lorde, be it vnto me according to thy worde, And the angell departed from her.


text:
And it fortuned, that whan Elizabeth hearde the salutacyon of Mary, the babe sprange in her wombe. And Elizabeth was fylled with the holy ghost,


text:
& cried with a loude voyce, and sayde: Blessed art thou among wemen, and blessed is the frute of thy wombe.


text:
For lo, as sone as the voyce of thy salutacion sownded in myne eares, the babe sprange in my wombe for ioye.


text:
And blessed art thou that hast beleued: for those thinges shalbe performed, which were tolde the from the Lorde.


text:
For he hath loked on the lowe degre of hys hande mayden: for lo: now from hence forth shall all generacions call me blessed.


text:
He hath shewed strength with his arme, he hath scattered them that are proude in the ymaginacyon of their herte.


text:
And her neyghboures and her cosyns hearde howe the Lorde had shewed greate mercy vpon her, and they reioysed with her.


text:
And it fortuned that in the eyght daye, they came to circumcyse the chylde: and called his name Zacharias, after the name of hys father.


text:
And feare came on all them that dwelt nye vnto them. And all these sayinges were noysed abroade throughout all the hyll countre of Iurie:


text:
and all they that herde them layde them vp in their hertes, saying: What maner of chylde shall this be? And the hande of the Lorde was with him:


text:
for to geue vs. That we deliuered oute of the handes of oure enemies, might serue him with out feare,


text:
And thou chylde shalt be called the Prophet of the hiest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lorde, to prepare his wayes:


text:
To geue light to them that sate in darcknes & in the shadowe of deathe, to gyde oure fete into the waye of peace.


text:
And the child grewe and wexed strong in sprete, and was in wildernes, tyll the daye came, when he shulde shewe him selfe vnto the Israelites.


text:
And it chaunced in those dayes: that ther went oute a commaundement from Augustus the Emperour, that all the world shulde be taxed.


text:
And Ioseph also ascended from Galile, out of a cytie called Nazareth, into Iewry: vnto the cytie of Dauid, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lynage of Dauid,


text:
And she broughte forth her fyrst begotten sonne, & wrapped him in swadlinge clothes, and layde him in a maunger, because ther was no rowme for them in the ynne.


text:
And lo, the angell of the Lorde stode harde by them, and the brightnes of the Lorde shone rounde aboute them, & they were sore afrayed.


text:
And the angell sayde vnto them: Be not afrayed. For beholde, I bringe you tydinges of greate ioye, that shall come to all people:


text:
And take this for a sygne: ye shall fynde the childe wrapped in swadlinge clothes, & layed in a manger.


text:
And streyght waye ther was with the angel a multitude of heauenly sowdyers, praysing God: & sayinge:


text:
And it fortuned, as sone as the angels were gone awaye from them into heauen, The shepherdes sayde one to another: let vs go now euen vnto Bethlehem, and se this thing that we heare saye is happened, which the Lorde hath shewed vnto vs.


text:
And when they had sene it, they publisshed a brode the sayinge, which was tolde them of that chylde.


text:
And the shepherdes retourned, praysynge and laudinge God for all the thinges that they had herde and sene, euen as it was tolde vnto them.


text:
And when the eyght daye was come that the childe shulde be circuncised his name was called Iesus which was named of the Angell, before he was conceaued in the wombe.


text:
And when the tyme of their purificacion (after the lawe of Moses) was come, they brought him to Hierusalem, to present him to the Lorde


text:
(as it is wrytten in the lawe of the Lorde euery man chylde that fyrst openeth the matrix, shalbe called holy to the Lord)


text:
and to offer (as it is sayde in the lawe of the Lorde) a payre of turtle doues, or two yonge pigions.


text:
And beholde, ther was a man in Hierusalem whose name was Simeon. And the same man was iuste & godly, & loked for the consolacion of Israel, and the holy goost was in him.


text:
And an answer had he receaued of the holy goost that he shulde not se deeth, excepte he fyrst sawe the Lordes Christ.


text:
And he came by inspiracion into the temple. And when the father & mother brought in the chylde Iesus: to do for him after the custome of the lawe,


text:
And Simeon blessed them, and sayde vnto Mary his mother: beholde, this chyld is sett to be the fall and vprising agayne of many in Israel, & for a sygne which is spoken agaynst.


text:
And ther was a Prophetisse, one Anna, the daughter of Phanuel of the trybe of Aser: which was of a greate age, & had lyued with an husbande .vij. yeres from her virginite.


text:
And she had bene a wedowe aboute .iiij. scoore & .iiij. yere, which departed not from the temple, but serued God with fastinges and prayers nyght & daye.


text:
And she came forth that same houre, and praysed the Lorde, & spake of him, to all them that loked for redempcyon in Hierusalem.


text:
And whan they had perfourmed all thinges accordyng to the lawe of the Lorde, they returned into Galile, to their awne citie Nazareth.


text:
And the chylde grewe, and wexed stronge in sprete, & was fylled with wysdome, & the grace of God was vpon him.


text:
And when they had fulfylled the dayes: as they returned home, the chylde Iesus a bode styll in Ierusalem, & hys father & mother knewe not of it:


text:
but they supposyng him to haue bene in the company, came a dayes iorney & sought him amonge their kynsfolke & acquayntaunce.


text:
And it fortuned that after .iij. dayes, they founde him in the temple, syttynge in the middes of the doctours, hearyng them, & posynge them


text:
And when they sawe him, they marueyled. And his mother sayde vnto him: sonne, why hast thou thus dealt with vs? Beholde, thy father & I haue sought the, sorowenge.


text:
And he sayde vnto them: how is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not, that I must goo aboute my fathers busynes?


text:
And he went downe wt them, & came to Nazareth, & was obedient vnto them. But his mother kept all these sayenges together in her hert.

In the fyfteneth yere of the raygne of Tyberius the Emperoure, Pontius Pylate beynge leftenaunt of Iewrie, and Herode beinge Tetrach of Galile, and his brother Philip Tetrach of Iturea & of the region of the Traconites, & Lysaniath the Tetrach of Abyline

(when Anna and Cayphas were the hye prestes) the worde of the Lorde came vnto Iohn the sonne of Zacharias in the wyldernes.


text:
And he came in to all the coastes aboute Iordan, preaching the baptyme of repentaunce for the remission of synnes,


text:
as it is wrytten in the boke of the wordes of Esayas the prophet, sayenge: The voyce of a cryar in wyldernes: prepare ye the waye of the Lord, make his pathes strayght.


text:
Euery valley shalbe fylled, & euery mountayne & hyll shalbe brought lowe. And thinges that be croked, shalbe made streyght: & the rough wayes shalbe made playne:


text:
Then sayde he to the people, that were come forth to be baptysed of him. O ye generacion of vypers, who hath taught you to flye from the wrath to come?


text:
Brynge forth therfore due frutes of repentaunce, & begyn not to saye wyth in youre selues: we haue Abraham to oure father. For I saye vnto you. God is able of these stones to reyse vp chyldren vnto Abraham.


text:
Now also is the axe leyde vnto the rote of the trees: euery tree therfore which bryngeth not forth good frute, is hewen doune, & cast into the fyre.


text:
He answereth and sayeth, vnto them: He that hath two coates? lett him parte wyth hym that hath none, & he that hath meate, let him do lyke wyse.


text:
The soudyoures lykewyse demaunded of him, sayinge: and what shall we do? And he sayde vnto them: hurt no man: nether trouble eny man wrongfully: and be content with youre wages.


text:
As the people were in a doute, and all men musyd in their hertes of Iohn, whether he were very Christ,


text:
Iohn answered & sayde vn them all: I baptise you wyth water, but one stronger then I shall come after me, whose shoo latchet I am not worthy to vnlowse: he shall baptyse you with the holy goost, & wt fyre:


text:
which hath hys fanne in hys hande, & wyll pourge his floore, and gather the corne into his barne: but the chaffe wyll he burne with fyre that neuer shalbe quenched.


text:
Then Herode the Tetrach when he was rebuked of hym for Herodias his brother Philippes wyfe, & for all the euyls which Herode dyd:


text:
And it fortuned that whan all the people receaued baptime (& when Iesus was baptised and dyd praye) the heauen was opened,

And the deuyll toke him into an hye mountayne, and shewed him all the kyngdoms of the worlde, euen in the twincklyng of an eye.

And the deuyll sayde vnto him: all this power will I geue the euery whit, & the glory of them: for they are delyuered vnto me, and to whomsoeuer I wyll, I geue it.

Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: hence from me Satan. For it is wrytten Thou shalt worshyp the Lorde thy God, and him onely shalt thou serue.

And he closed the boke, and gaue it agayne to the minyster, and sate downe. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagoge, were fastened on him.

But I tell you of a treuth: many weddowes were in Israel in the daies of Helias when heauen was shut thre yeares and syxe monethes, when greate famyshment was throughout all the lande,

and vnto no one of them was Helias sent, saue into Sarepta besydes Sidon, vnto a woman that was a wedowe.

And feare cam on them all, and they spake among them selues, sayinge: what maner a thing is thys? For with auctorite & power he commaundeth the foules spretes, and they come oute?

& they beckened to theyr felowes (which were in the other shyp) that they shulde come, and helpe them. And they came: and fylled both the shyppes, that they soncke agayne.


text:
When Simon Peter sawe thys, he fell downe at Iesus knees, saying: Lord, go from me, for I am a sinful man.


text:
and so was also Iames and Iohn the sonnes of Zebede, which were parteners with Symon. And Iesus sayde vnto Symon: feare not, from hence forth thou shalt catche men.


text:
And it fortuned that whan he was in a certen cytie: behold, ther was a man ful of leprosy, & when he had spyed Iesus, he fell flat on hys face, and besought him, saieng: Lord, yf thou wylt, thou canst make me clene.


text:
And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him saying: I will, be thou clene. And immediatly the leprosy departed from hym.


text:
And he charged him, that he shuld tell no man: but go (saith he) and shewe thy selfe to the preste, & offer for thy clensyng accordyng, as Moses commaunded, for a wytnes vnto them.


text:
But so moch the more went there a fame abrode of hym, and moch people came together to heare, & to be healed of hym from theyr infirmityes.


text:
And it happened on a certen daye: that he taught: and ther sate the Pharises and doctours of lawe, which were come out of all the townes of Galile and Iewrye, and Ierusalem. And the power of the Lord was present, to heale them.


text:
And behold, men brought in a bed, a man which was taken with a palsie: and they sought meanes to bring him in, and to laye him before hym.


text:
And when they coulde not fynde on what syde they myghte bring hym in (because of the prease) they went vp on the toppe of the house & let him downe thorowe the tylyng, beed and all, euen in the myddes before Iesus.


text:
And the scribes and the pharises began to thincke, saying: What felowe is this, which speaketh blasphemye? who can forgeue synnes but God only?


text:
But when Iesus perceaued their thoughtes, he answered, and said vnto them: What thyncke ye in your hertes?


text:
But that ye maye knowe that the sonne of man hath power to forgeue synne on earth, he sayd vnto the sycke of the palsye: I saye vnto the: aryse, take vp thy bed, and go vnto thy house.


text:
And immediatly he rose vp before them, and toke vp hys bedd, (wher on he laye) and departed to hys awne house, praysing God.


text:
And they were all amased, and they gaue the glory vnto God. And were fylled with feare, saying: We haue sene straunge thynges to daye.


text:
And after this, he went forth, and sawe a publican named Leuy, syttynge at the receyte of custome, & he sayd vnto him: folowe me.


text:
And Leuy made hym a greate feaste in his awne house. And ther was a great companye of publicans and of other that sate at meate, with them.


text:
And the scribes and pharises murmured against his disciples, saying: Why do ye eate and drincke with publicans and sinners?


text:
And Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them: They that are whole, nede not the phisicion: but they that are sycke.


text:
And they sayde vnto hym: Why do the disciples of Iohn fast often, and praye, & the disciples of the pharises also: but thyne eate and dryncke?


text:
The dayes wyll come, when the brydgrome also shalbe taken awaye from them: then shall they fast in those dayes.


text:
He spake also vnto them a similitude. No man putteth a pece of a newe garment, into an old vesture, for yf he do, then breaketh he the newe, and the pece that was taken out of the newe, agreeth not with the olde.


text:
And no man powreth newe wyne into olde bottels. For yf he do, the newe wyne wyll burst the bottels, and runne out it self, and the bottels shall perysh.


text:
No man also that dryncketh old wyne, straight waye can awaye with newe: for he sayeth the olde is better.


text:
It happened on an after pryncipall Saboth, that he went thorow the corne felde, and hys discyples plucked the eares of corne, and dyd eate, and rubbed them in theyr handes:


text:
And certayn of the pharises said vnto them: Why do ye that, which is not lawfull to do on the Saboth dayes?


text:
And Iesus answered them, and sayde: Haue ye not redde what Dauid dyd, when he him selfe was an hungred, and they which were with hym:


text:
howe he went into the house of God, and dyd take and eate the shew bread, and gaue also to them that were with hym: which are not lawfull to eate, but for the prestes only?


text:
And it fortuned in another Sabboth also, that he entred into the synagoge, & taught. And ther was a man, whose right hande was dryed vp.


text:
And the scribes & pharises watched hym whether he wolde heale on the sabboth daye, that they myght fynde how to accuse him.


text:
But he knewe their thoughtes, and sayd to the man which had the wythred hand: Ryse vp, and stande forth in the myddes. And he arose & stode forth.


text:
Then sayd Iesus vnto them: I wyll aske you a question: Whether is it lawfull on the sabboth dayes to do good, or to do euil? to saue ones life, or to destroye it?


text:
And he behelde them al in compasse, and sayd vnto the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he dyd so: & hys hande was restored agayne as whole as the other.


text:
And they were fylled with madnes, and communed together amonge them selues, what they myght do to Iesu.


text:
And it fortuned in those dayes that he went out into a mountayne for to praye, & contynued all nyght in prayer to God.


text:
And as sone at it was daye, he called hys disciples, & of them he chose .xij. whom also he called apostles.


text:
And he came downe with them, & stode in the playne felde, and the company of hys disciples and a greate multitude of people (out of all Iewrye and Ierusalem, & from the see coast of Tyre and Sidon) which came to heare him, and to be healed of their dyseases


text:
And he lyft vp his eyes vpon the disciples and sayd: Blessed be ye pore, for yours is the kingdome of God.


text:
Blessed are ye that honger now, for ye shalbe satisfyed. Blessed are ye that wepe now, for ye shall laugh.


text:
Blessed shall ye be, when men hate you, & thrust you out of their company, and rayle on you, and abhorre your names as an euyll thing, for the sonne of mannes sake.


text:
Reioyse ye in that daye, and be glad: for beholde, your rewarde is greate in heauen. For thus dyd theyr fathers vnto the prophetes.


text:
Wo vnto you that are full: for ye shall honger. Wo vnto you that now laugh: for ye shall wayle & wepe.


text:
And vnto hym that smyteth the on the one cheke, offer also the other. And him that taketh awaye thy gowne, forbyd not to take thy cote also.


text:
Geue to euery man that asketh of the. And of him that taketh a waye thy goodes, aske them not agayne.


text:
And yf ye do good for them which do good for you, what thanke haue ye? For synners also do euen the same.


text:
And yf ye lende to them of whom ye hope to receaue: what thanke haue ye? for synners also lende to synners, to receaue soch lyke agayne.


text:
But loue ye youre enemyes, and do good, and lende, lokynge for nothynge agayne: and your reward shalbe greate, and ye shalbe the chyldren of the hyest: for he is kynde vnto the vnkynde and to the euyll.


text:
Iudge not, and ye shall not be iudged: Condempne not, and ye shall not be condempned. Forgeue, and ye shalbe forgeuen.


text:
Geue, and it shalbe geuen vnto you: good measure and pressed downe, and shaken together and runnyng ouer, shall men geue into youre bosomes. For with the same measure that ye mete withall, shall other men mete to you agayne.


text:
And he put forth a similitude vnto them Can the blynde leade the blynde? Do they not both fall into the dyche?


text:
Why seest thou a moate in thy brothers eye, but consyderest not the beame that is in thyne awne eye?


text:
Ether howe cannest thou saye to thy brother. Brother, let me pull out the moate that is in thyne eye, when thou seest not the beame that is in thyne awne eye. Thou ypocrite cast out the beame out of thyne awne eye fyrst, & then shalt thou se perfectly, to pull oute the moate that is in thy brothers eye.


text:
For it is not a good tree, that bringeth forth euyll frute: nether is that an euyll tree, that bringeth forth good frute.


text:
For euery tre is knowen by hys frute. For of thornes do not men gather fygges, nor of busshes gather they grapes.


text:
A good man out of the good treasure of hys herte, bryngeth forth that which is good. And an euyll man, out of the euyll treasure of his hert, bringeth forth that which is euyll. For of the aboundance of the hert, hys mouth speaketh.


text:
whosouer commeth to me & heareth my sayinges, and doth the same, I wyl shewe you to whom he is like.


text:
He is lyke a man which bylt an house, and dygged depe, and layde the foundacion on a rock. When the waters arose, the flud bet vpon that house, & coulde not moue it. For it was grounded vpon a rocke.


text:
But he that heareth and doth not, is lyke a man that without foundacyon bylt an house vpon the earth, against which the floud dyd beat: and it fell immediatly. And the fal of that house was greate.


text:
And whan he heard of Iesu, he sent vnto him the elders of the Iewes, besechinge him that he wold come, & heale his seruaunte.


text:
And whan they came to Iesus, they besought him instantly, saying: He is worthy that thou shuldest do this for hym.


text:
And Iesus went with them. And whan he was now, not farre from the house, the Centurion sent frendes to hym, sayinge vnto hym: Lorde, trouble not thy self: for I am not worthy: that thou shuldest enter vnder my roffe.


text:
Wherfore I thought not my self worthy to come vnto the: but saye thou the word, & my seruaunt shalbe whole.


text:
For I also am a man set vnder power, and haue vnder me soudiers, and I saye vnto one go, and he goeth, & to another, come, & he cometh: and to my seruaunt, do this, & he doth it.


text:
When Iesus heard thys, he meruayled at him, and turned hym about, and sayde to the people that folowed him: I saye vnto you, I haue not founde so great faith, no, not in Israel.


text:
And they that were sent, turned backe home agayne and founde the seruaunt whole that had bene sycke.


text:
And it fortuned after this, that he went into a cytie which is called Naim, & many of his disciples went with him, and moch people.


text:
When he came nye to the gate of the cytie: behold, ther was a deed man caryed out, which was the onely sonne of his mother, & she was a wedowe, & moch people of the cytie was with her.


text:
And he came nye, & touched the coffyn: and they that bare him stode styl. And he sayde: Yonge man, I saye vnto the, aryse.


text:
And ther came a feare on them al. And they gaue the glory vnto God, sayinge: A great prophete is rysen vp among vs, & God hath visited his people.


text:
And thys rumor of him went forth throughout al Iury, and thorow out all the regions which lye rounde about.


text:
And Iohn called vnto him two of his disciples, & sent them to Iesus, saying: Art thou he that shuld come: or shall we looke for another?


text:
When the men were come vnto him, they sayde: Iohn baptiste sent vs vnto the, saying: Art thou he that shulde come? or shall we wayte for another?


text:
And in that same houre he cured many of their infyrmites and plages, and of euyll spretes, and vnto many that were blynd he gaue sight.


text:
And he answered, & sayd vnto them: Go your waye and bring worde agayne to Iohn, what thinges ye haue sene & heard, how that the blynde se, the halt go, the lepers are clensed, the deaff heare, the dead ryse agayne: to the poore is the glad tydinges preached,


text:
And when the messengers of Iohn were departed, he began to speake vnto the people concerninge Iohn. What went ye out into the wildernes for to se? a rede shaken wt the wind?


text:
But what went ye out for to se? A man clothed in soft rayment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and lyue delicatly, are in kynges courtes.


text:
This is he, of whom it is writen: Beholde, I sende myne angell before thy face which shall prepare thy waye before the.


text:
For I saye vnto you, amonge wemens children, is ther not a greater prophete then Iohn baptiste. Neuerthelesse, he tha is lesse, in the kingdom of God is greater then he.


text:
And all the people, and the publicans that heard him, iustified God, and were baptised with the baptyme of Iohn.


text:
But the pharises and lawers despised the councell of God agaynst them selues, and were not baptised of hym.


text:
And the Lorde sayd: wherunto shall I lyken the men of this generacion: and what thing are they like?


text:
They are like vnto children sytting in the market place, & cryeng one to another, and saying: We haue pyped vnto you, & ye haue not daunsed: we haue mourned to you, and ye haue not wepte.


text:
The sonne of man is come, and eateth & drincketh, & ye saye: behold a gloutonous man, and an vnmeasurable dryncker of wyne, a frend of publicans and synners.


text:
And one of the pharises desired hym that he wolde eate with hym. And he went into the pharises house, and sat downe to meate.


text:
And behold a woman in that cytie (which was a synner) as sone as she knewe that Iesus sat at meat in the pharises house, she brought an alablaster boxe of oyntment,


text:
& stode at his fete behinde him wepyng, & beganne to wasshe hys fete wt teares, and dyd wype them with the heares of her head, & kyssed his fete, & anoynted them with the oyntment.


text:
When the pharise (which had bidden him) sawe, he spake within hym selfe, sayinge: If thys man were a prophete, he wolde surely knowe who, and what maner of woman thys is that touched hym, for she is a synner.


text:
And Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him: Simon, I haue some what to saye vnto the. And he sayd: master, saye on.


text:
There was a certayne lender which had two detters, the one ought fyue hundred pence, and the other fyfty.


text:
When they had nothynge to paye, he forgaue them both. Tell me therfore, which of them wyll loue hym most?


text:
Simon answered and sayd: I suppose that he to whom he forgaue most. And he sayde vnto hym: Thou hast truly iudged.


text:
And he turned to the woman, & sayd vnto Simon: Seest thou this woman. I entred into thy house, thou gauest me no water for my fete: but she hath wesshed my fete with teares, and wyped them with the heares of her head.


text:
Wherfore, I saye vnto the: many synnes are forgeuen her, for she loued moch. To whom lesse is forgeuen, the same doeth lesse loue.


text:
And they that sate at meat wt him, beganne to saye within them selues. Who is this which forgeueth synnes also?


text:
And it fortuned afterwarde, that he hym selfe also wente through oute cyties and townes: preachinge, and shewynge the kyngdome of God, and the twelue with hym.


text:
And also certayne women, which were healed of euell spretes, and infirmytes. Mary which is called Magdalen (oute of whom wente seuen deuyls)


text:
and Ioanna the wyfe of Chusa. Herodes stewarde, and Susanna, and many other, which minystred vnto hym of theyr substaunce.


text:
When moch people were gathered together, and were come to him out of all cytes, he spake by a similytude.


text:
The sower wente out to sowe hys seede: and as he sowed, some fell by the waye syde, & it was troden downe, and the foules of the ayre deuoured it vp.


text:
And some fell on stone, and as sone as it was spronge vp, it withred awaye because it lacked moystnes.


text:
And some fel on good grounde, and sprange vp, and bare frute, an hundred folde. And as he sayd these thinges, he cryed: He that hath eares to heare, let hym heare.


text:
And he sayd: vnto you is it geuen to knowe the secretes of the kingdome of God: but to other by parables, that when they se, they shuld not se: & when they heare, they shuld not vnderstande.


text:
Those that are besyde the waye, are they that heare, then commeth the deuyll, and taketh a waye the worde out of their hertes, lest they shulde beleue and be saued.


text:
They on the stones, are they which when they heare, receaue the word with ioye, and these haue no rotes: which for a whyle beleue, and in tyme of temptacyon go awaye.


text:
And that which fell amonge thornes, are they which whan they haue heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and ryches, and volupteous lyuinge, and brynge forth no frute.


text:
That which fell in the good grounde, are they, which with a pure and good herte heare the worde, and kepe it, and brynge forth frute thorow pacyence.


text:
No man, whan he lyghteth a candell, couereth it with a vessel, or putteth it vnder a table, but setteth it on a candelsticke, that they which enter in, maye se the light.


text:
Nothing is in secret, that shal not come abrode. Nether any thynge hydd, that shall not be knowen, and come to lyghte.


text:
Take hede therfore, howe ye heare. For whosoeuer hath, to hym shalbe geuen: And whosoeuer hath not, from him shalbe taken: euen that same which he supposeth that he hath.


text:
He answered and said vnto them: my mother and my brethren are these, which heare the worde of God, and do it.


text:
And it chaunsed on a certayne daye, that he went into a shyp, and his disciples also, & he sayde vnto them: Let vs go ouer vnto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth


text:
But as they sayled, he fell a slepe and there arose a storme of wynde in the lake, & they were fylled wt water, and were in ieopardy.


text:
And they came to hym, and awoke hym saying: Master master, we are loost. Then he arose, and rebuked the wynde and the tempest of water, and they ceased, and it wexed calme.


text:
And he sayde vnto them: where is youre fayth? They feared, and wondred amonge them selues, saying: what (thynke ye) is thys? for he commaundeth both the windes & water, and they obey hym?


text:
And whan he went out to land, ther met him out of the cytie a certayne man, which had a deuyll longe tyme, and ware no clothes, nether abode in eny house: but in graues.


text:
When he sawe Iesus & had cryed, he fell downe before him, & wt a loude voyce sayde. What haue I to do with the Iesus, thou sonne of the God moost hyest? I beseche the torment me not:


text:
for he commaunded the foule sprete to come oute of the man. For ofte tymes he had caught hym, and he was bounde with chaynes, and kepte with fetters: and he brake the bondes, and was caryed of the fende into wyldernes.


text:
And Iesus asked him saieng: What is thy name? And he sayde: Legion, because many deuyls were entred into hym.


text:
And there was there, an heard of many swyne, feding on an hyll: and they besought him, that he wold suffre them to enter into them. And he suffred them.


text:
Then went the deuels out of the man, & entred into the swyne. And the heard ranne heedlyng with violence into the lake, and were choked.


text:
And they came out to se what was done: and came to Iesus, & founde the man (out of whom the deuyls were departed) sittyng at the fete of Iesus: clothed, & in his right mynde, and they were afrayed.


text:
And all the multitude of the Gederenites, besought him, that he wold departe from them: for they were taken with great feare. And he gate him vp into the shyp, and returned backe agayne.


text:
Then the man (out of whom the deuyls were departed) besought hym that he myght be with hym. But Iesus sent him awaye, sayinge:


text:
Go home agayne to thyne awne house, and shewe what thinges soeuer God hath done for the. And he went his waye, and preached thorow out all the cytie, what thinges soeuer Iesus had done vnto him.


text:
And it fortuned that when Iesus was come agayne, the people receaued him. For they all wayted for him.


text:
And beholde, there came a man named Iairus (& he was a ruler of the synagoge) & he fell downe at Iesus fete praying him, that he wold come into his house,


text:
for he had but one daughter onely, vpon a .xij. yeare of age, and she laye a dying. But as he went, the people thronged hym.


text:
And a woman, hauing an issue of bloud .xij. yeres (which had spent all her substaunce vpon phisicions, nether coulde be holpen of eny)


text:
And Iesus sayd: who is it that touched me? When euery man denyed, Peter (and they that were wt hym) sayd: Master, the people thrust the & vexe the, & sayest thou who touched me?


text:
When the woman sawe that she was not hyd, she came trymbling, and fell at hys fete, and tolde hym before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediatly.


text:
Whyle he yet spake, ther came one from the rulers of the synagoges house, which sayd to hym: thy daughter is deed, desease not the Master.


text:
But when Iesus hearde that worde, he answered the father of the damosell. Feare not, beleue onely, and she shalbe made whole.


text:
And when he came to the house, he suffred no man to go in with hym, saue Peter, Iames, and Iohn, and the father and the mother of the mayden.


text:
And the father & the mother of her were astonyed. But he warned them, that they shuld tell no man what was done.


text:
Iesus called the twelue together, and gaue them power, and auctorite ouer all deuyls, and that they might heale diseases.


text:
And he sayd vnto them: Take nothing to your iourney: nether staffe, nor scrype, nether bread, nether money, nether haue two coates.


text:
And whosoeuer wyll not receaue you, when ye go out of the citie, shake of the very dust from youre fete, for a testimonye agaynst them.


text:
And Herode the Tetrarch heard of al that was done by him, & he douted, because that it was sayde of some, that Iohn was rysen agayne from death:


text:
and of some, that Helias had appeared, and of some, that one of the olde prophetes was rysen agayne.


text:
And Herode sayde: Iohn haue I beheaded: but who is this of whom I heare such thinges. And he desyred to se him.


text:
And the apostles returned: & tolde him all that they had done. And he toke them, & went asyde into a solitary place nye vnto the cytie that is called Bethsaida.


text:
Which whan the people knewe, they folowed him. And he receaued them, & spake vnto them of the kyngdome of God, & healed them that had nede to be healed.


text:
And when the daye beganne to weare awaye, then came the .xij. and sayd vnto him: send the people awaye, that they maye go into the townes and next villages & lodge, and get meate, for we are here in a place of wyldernes.


text:
But he sayd vnto them: Geue ye them to eate. And they sayd: we haue no mo but .v. loaues and two fysshes, except we shulde go and bye meate for all this people.


text:
And they were about a .v.M. men. And he sayd to his disciples: Cause them to sit downe by fyfties in a companye.


text:
And he toke the fyue loaues and the two fisshes, and loked vp to heauen: and blessed them, and brake, and gaue to the disciples, to seet before the people.


text:
And they all dyd eat, & were satisfyed. And there was taken vp of that remayned to them, twelue baskettes full of broken meate.


text:
And it fortuned as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him, and he asked them sayeng: who saye the people that I am?


text:
They answered, and sayd: Iohn Baptist: Some saye Helias, and some saye that one of the olde prophetes is rysen.


text:
He sayd vnto them: But who saye ye that I am? Simon Peter answered, & sayde: thou art the Christ of God.


text:
saying: the sonne of man must suffre many thinges, and be reproued of the elders, and of the hye prestes, and scribes, and be slayne, and ryse agayne the thyrd daye.


text:
And he sayd to them all, yf eny man will come after me, let him denye him self, & take vp his crosse dayly, & folowe me.


text:
For whosoeuer wyll saue hys lyfe shall lose it. But whosoeuer doth lose his lyfe for my sake, the same shall saue it.


text:
For what auauntageth it a man, yf he wynne the whole worlde, and lose him selfe, or runne in dammmage of hym selfe?


text:
For whoso is ashamed of me, and of my wordes, of him shall the sonne of man be ashamed, when he commeth in his maiestye, and in the maiestye of his father, and of the holy angels.


text:
I tell you of a treuth: There be some standinge here, which shall not tast of death, tyll they se the kyngdome of God.


text:
And it fortuned that about an .viij. dayes after these saienges, he toke Peter and Iohn and Iames, & went vp into a mountayne to praye.


text:
But Peter and they that were with him, were heuy with slepe. And when they awoke, they sawe his maiesty, and two men standinge with him.


text:
And it chaunsed as they departed from him, Peter sayde vnto Iesus: Master, it is good beynge here for vs. Let vs make also thre tabernacles, one for the, and one for Moses, and one for Helias (and wist not what he sayd.)


text:
While he thus spake, there came a cloude and ouershadowed them, and they feared when they were come into the cloude.


text:
And as soone as the voyce was past, Iesus was founde alone. And they kept it cloose: & tolde no man in those dayes, any of those thinges which they had sene.


text:
And beholde, a man of the company cried oute, sayenge: Master, I beseche the behold my sonne, for he is all that I haue:


text:
and se, a sprete taketh him, and sodenly he cryeth, and tereth hym, that he fometh agayne, and with moch payne departeth from him, when he hath rent him,


text:
Iesus answered and sayde: O faythles, and croked nacion, howe longe shall I be with you? & shal suffre you? Bring thy sonne hither.


text:
As he was yet a comming, the fende rent him, and tare him. And Iesus rebuked the vncleane sprete, and healed the chyld, and deliuered him to his father.


text:
And they were all amased at the myghtye power of God. But whyle they wondered euery one at all thinges which he dyd, he sayde vnto hys disciples:


text:
Lett these sayinges sinke downe into your eares. For it will come to passe: that the sonne of man shalbe deliuered into the handes of men.


text:
But they wist not what the worde meant, and it was hyd from them, that they vnderstode it not. And they feared to aske him of that sayinge.


text:
& sayd vnto them: Whosoeuer receaueth this child in my name, receaueth me. And whosoeuer receaueth me, receaueth him that sent me. For he that is lest among you all, the same shalbe greate.


text:
And Iohn answered, and sayde: Master. we sawe one castinge oute deuyls in thy name, and we forbade him, because he foloweth not with vs.


text:
And it fortuned when the tyme was come that he shulde be receaued vp, he set hys face to go to Ierusalem,


text:
and sent messengers before him. And they went and entred into a cytie of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.


text:
When his disciples, Iames & Iohn sawe this, they sayde: Lorde, wilt thou that we commaunde fyre to come downe from heauen and consume them, euen as Helias dyd?


text:
For the sonne of man is not come to destroye mennes lyues, but to saue them. And they went to another towne.


text:
And it chaunsed that as they were walking in the waye, a certayne man sayd vnto him. I wyll folowe the whithersoeuer thou goo.


text:
Iesus sayde vnto him: foxes haue holes, and byrdes of the ayer haue nestes: but the sonne of man hath not where to laye his head.


text:
And he sayde vnto another: folowe me. And the same sayde: Lorde, suffre me first to go and bury my father.


text:
And an other sayde: Lorde, I wyll folowe the: but let me first go byd them fare well, which are at home at my house.


text:
Iesus sayde vnto hym: No man that putteth hys handes to the plowe, and loketh backe, is apte to the kyngdome of God.


text:
After these thynges, the Lorde appoynted other .lxx. also, and sent them two and two before hym into euery cytie & place, whyther he him selfe wolde come.


text:
Therfore sayd he vnto them: the haruest is great, but the labourers are fewe. Praye ye therfore the lord of the haruest, to sende forth labourers into his haruest.


text:
And yf the sonne of peace be there, your peace shall rest vpon him: yf not, it shall turne to you agayne.


text:
And in the same house tary styll, eatyng and drinckyng soch as they geue: For the labourer is worthy of hys rewarde. Go not from house to house,


text:
But into whatsoeuer citie ye enter, & they receaue you not, go your wayes out into the stretes of the same, & saye:


text:
euen the very dust of youre cytie (which cleaueth on vs) do we wype of agaynst you: Not withstanding, be ye sure of thys, that the kyngdome of God was come nye vpon you.


text:
Wo vnto the Chorazin: wo vnto the Bethsaida. For yf the miracles had bene done in Tyre and Sidon, which haue bene done in you, they had (a greate whyle ago) repented of theyr synnes, syttyng in heercloth and asshes.


text:
He that heareth you, heareth me: and he that despyseth you, despyseth me: and he that despyseth me; despyseth him that sent me.


text:
And the .lxx. turned agayne wt ioye, sayeng: Lorde, euen the very deuels are subdued to vs thorow thy name.


text:
Behold, I geue vnto you power, to treade on serpentes, and scorpions, and ouer all maner power of the enemy, and nothing shull hurte you.


text:
Neuertheles, in this reioyse not, that the spretes are subdued vnto you: but reioyse, that youre names are wryten in heauen.


text:
That same houre reioysed Iesus in ghost, and sayd: I thanke the, O father. Lorde of heauen and earth, that thou hast hyd these thinges from the wyse and prudent, and hast opened them vnto babes. Euen so father, for so pleased it the.


text:
All thinges are geuen me of my father. No man knoweth who the sonne is, but the father: and who the father is, but the sonne, & he to whom the sonne wyll shewe hym.


text:
And he turned to his disciples, and sayde secretly: Happy are the eyes, which se the thinges that ye se.


text:
For I tell you, that many prophetes and kinges haue desired to se those thinges which ye se, and haue not sene them: and to heare those thynges which ye heare, and haue not hearde them.


text:
And behold a certayne lawyer stode vp, & tempted him, saying. Master, what shall I do, to inheret eternall lyfe?


text:
And he answered and sayde: loue the Lorde thy God, with all thy hert, & with all thy soule, & with all thy strength, & with all thy mynde: and thy neyghbour as thy selfe.


text:
Iesus answered, & sayde, A certayne man descended from Hierusalem to Hierico, & fell among theues, which robbed him of his rayment & wounded him, and departed, leuynge him halfe deed.


text:
And it chaunced, that ther came downe a certayne Preste that same waye, & when he sawe him, he passed by.


text:
But a certayne Samaritane, as he iorneyed, came vnto hym: and when he sawe him, he had compassion on him


text:
& went to, and bounde vp his woundes, & poured in oyle & wyne, and set him on his awne beaste, and brought him to a commen ynne, and made prouision for him.


text:
And on the morow, when he departed, he toke out .ij. pence, & gaue them to the host, & sayd vnto him. Take cure of him & whatsoeuer thou spendest moare, when I come agayne I will recompence the.


text:
It fortuned that as they went, he entred into a certayne towne. And a certayne woman named Martha receaued him into her house.


text:
But Martha was combred aboute moch seruynge, & stode & sayde: lorde, doest thou not care, that my syster hath left me to serue alone? Byd her therfore, that she helpe me.


text:
And Iesus answered, & sayde vnto her: Martha, Martha, thou art carefull, & troubled about many thinges:


text:
And it fortuned as he was prayinge in a certayne place: when he ceased, one of his disciples sayde vnto hym: Lorde, teache vs to praye, as Iohn also taught hys disciples.


text:
And he sayde vnto them: when ye praye, saye. O oure father which art in heauen, halowed be thy name. Thy kyngdome come. Thy will be fulfilled, euen in erth also as it is in heauen.


text:
And forgeue vs our synnes: For euen we forgeue euery man that treapaseth vs. And Leade vs not into temptacion But deliuer vs from euyll.


text:
And he sayd vnto them: yf any of you shall haue a frend, & shall go to him at mydnight, and saye vnto him, frende: lende me thre loaues,


text:
and he within answere, and saye: trouble me not, the dore is now shut, and my chyldren are with me in the chamber, I cannot ryse and geue the.


text:
I saye vnto you, though he wyll not arise and geue him, because he is his frende: yet because of his importunite he will rise, and geue him as many as he nedeth.


text:
And I saye vnto you: aske, and it shalbe geuen you. Seke, and ye shall fynde: Knocke, and it shalbe opened vnto you.


text:
For euery one that asketh, receaueth: and he that seketh, fyndeth: & to him that knocketh, shall it be opened.


text:
Yf the sonne shall aske breed of eny of you that is a father, wyll he geue him a stone? Or yf he aske fishe, wyll he for fysshe geue him a serpent?


text:
Yf ye then beyng euyll, can geue good giftes vnto youre children, how moch moare shall your father of heauen geue the holy sprete to them, that desyre it of him?


text:
And he was castinge out a deuyll, and the same was domme. And when he had cast out the deuill, the domme spake, & the people wondred.


text:
But he knowing their thoughtes, sayd vnto them: Euery kyngdome deuided agaynst it selfe, is desolate: and one house doth fall vpon another.


text:
Yf Satan also, be deuyded agaynst him selfe, how shall his kyngdome endure? Because ye saye, that I cast out deuyls thorow Beelzebub.


text:
If I, by the helpe of Beelzebub cast out deuyls, by whose helpe do youre chyldren cast them out. Therfore shall they be your iudges.


text:
But when a stronger then he commeth vpon him, and ouercommeth him, he taketh from him all his harnes (wherin he trusted) and deuideth his goodes.


text:
When the vnclene spryte is gone out of a man, he walketh through drie places, sekynge reest. And when he fyndeth none, he sayeth: I will returne agayne vnto my houses, whence I came out.


text:
Then goeth he and taketh to him seuen other spretes worse then him selfe: and they enter in, & dwell there. And the ende of that man, is worse then the begynnynge.


text:
And it fortuned that as he spake these thynges, a certayne woman of the company lyfte vp her voyce, and sayd vnto him. Happy is the wombe that bare the, and the pappes which gaue the sucke.


text:
When the people were gathered thicke together, he began to saye. This is an euyll nacion. they seke a sygne, and ther shall no sygne be geuen them, but the sygne of Ionas the prophet.


text:
The quene of the south shall ryse at the iudgement, with the men of this nacion, and condempne them: for she came from the vttemost partes of the erth, to heare the wisdome of Salomon. And beholde a greater then Salomon is here.


text:
The men of Niniue shall ryse at the iudgement with this nacyon: and shall condempne them: for they were brought to repentaunce by the preachynge of Ionas. And beholde, a greater then Ionas is here.


text:
No man lyghteth a candell, and putteth it in a preuy place, nether vnder a busshell: but on a candelstycke, that they which come in, maye se the light.


text:
The lyght of the body is the eye. Therfore, when thyne eye is syngle, all thy body also shalbe full of lyght. But yf thyne eye be euill, thy body also shalbe full of darknes,


text:
Yf all thy body therfore be cleare, hauynge no parte darcke: then shal it all be full of light, euen as when a candell doeth lyght the with bryghtnes.


text:
And as he spake, a certayne Pharyse besought him, to dyne with him, and Iesus went in, and sate doune to meate.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto him: Now do ye Pharises, make clene the out syde of the cup, and the platter: but youre inwarde parte is full of rauenynge and wyckednes.


text:
But wo vnto you Pharises, for ye tythe mynt and rewe, and all manner erbes, and passe ouer iudgement and the loue of God. These ought ye to haue done, and yet not to leaue the other vndone.


text:
Wo vnto you Pharises: for ye loue the vppermost seates in the sinagoges, and gretinges in the market.


text:
Wo vnto you scrybes and Pharises, ye ypocrites, for ye are as graues which appeare not, and the men that walke ouer them, are not ware of them.


text:
Then answered one of the lawears, and sayde vnto him: Master, thus saying thou puttest vs to rebuke also.


text:
And he sayde: wo vnto you also ye lawers: for ye lade men with burthens which they be not not able to beare: and ye youre selues touche not the packes with one of youre fyngers.


text:
truly ye beare witnes, that ye alowe the dedes of youre fathers: for they kylled them, and ye buylde their sepulchres.


text:
Therfore sayde the wisdome of God, I will send them Prophetes and Apostles and some of them they shall slaye and persecute:


text:
that the bloude of all Prophetes (which is shed from the begynninge of the worlde) maye be required of this generacion,


text:
from the bloude of Abell, vnto the bloud of Zachary, which perished betwene the aulter and the temple. Uerely I saye vnto you: it shalbe required of this nacion.


text:
Wo vnto you lawears: for ye haue taken awaye the keye of knowledge, ye entred not in youre selues, and them that came in, ye forbad.


text:
When he thus spake vnto them, the lawears and the Pharises began to wexe busye aboute him, and capciously to aske him many thinges,


text:
layinge wayte for him, and sekynge to catche some thinge of his mouth, wherby they might accuse him.


text:
As ther gathered together an innumerable multitude of people (in so moche that they trood one another) he began to saye vnto his disciples: fyrst of all be warre of the leuen of the Pharises which is ypocrisy.


text:
For what thinges ye haue spoken in darknes, shalbe hearde in the light. And that which ye haue spoken into the eare, euen in secrete places, shalbe preached on the toppe of the houses.


text:
I saye vnto you my frendes: be not afrayde of them that kyll the body, and after that haue no moare, that they can do.


text:
But I will shewe you, whom ye shall feare. Feare him, which after he hath kylled, hath power to cast into hell. Yee, I saye vnto you: feare him.


text:
Also, euen the very heeres of youre heed are all nombred. Feare not therfore: ye are moare of value then many sparowes.


text:
I saye vnto you euery one: whosoeuer confesseth me before men, him shal the sonne of man knowledge also before the angels of God


text:
And whosoeuer speaketh a worde agaynst the sonne of man, it shalbe forgeuen him. But vnto him that blasphemeth the holy goost, it shall not be forgeuen.


text:
When they bringe you vnto the sinagoges, and vnto the rulers and officers, take ye no thought, how or what thinge ye shall answer, or what ye shall speake.


text:
One of the company sayde vnto him: Master, speake to my brother, that he deuide the enheritaunce with me.


text:
And he sayde vnto them: take hede, and be warre of couetousnes. For no mannes lyfe standeth in the aboundance of the thinges which he possesseth.


text:
And he put forth a simylytude vnto them sayinge: The grounde of a certaine riche man brought forth plentifull frutes,


text:
and he thought within him selfe sayinge: what shall I do? because I haue no roume where to bestowe my frutes?


text:
And he sayd: This will I do. I will destroye my barnes, and bylde greater, and therin will I gather all my goodes that are growen vnto me:


text:
and I will saye to my soule: Soule thou hast moche goodes layd vp in stoore for many yeares, take thyne ease: eate, drincke, be mery.


text:
But God sayd vnto him. Thou fole, this nyght will they fetche awaye thy soule agayne from the. Then whose shall those thynges be, which thou hast prouided?


text:
And he spake vnto his disciples: Therfore I saye vnto you. Take no thought for youre lyfe, what ye shall eate: nether for the body, what ye shall put on.


text:
Consider the rauens, for they nether sowe nor repe, which nether haue stoore house ner barne, and God fedeth them. How moche are ye better then fethered foules?


text:
Consider the lylies how they growe: They laboure not: they spyn not: and yet I saye vnto you, that Salomon in all his royalte, was not clothed lyke one of these.


text:
If God so clothe the grasse (which is to daye in the felde, and to morow is cast into the fornace) how moche more wyll he cloth you, O ye of lytle fayth?


text:
Youre father knoweth, that ye haue neade of soche thinges. Wherfore, seke ye after the kyngdome of God, and all these thinges shalbe ministred vnto you.


text:
Sell that ye haue, and geue almes. And prepare you bagges, which wexe not olde, euen a treasure that fayleth not in heauen, where no thefe commeth, nether moth corrupteth.


text:
and ye youre selues lyke vnto men that wayte for theyr Lorde, when he will returne from the weddinge: that whan he commeth and knocketh they maye open vnto him immediatly.


text:
Happy are those seruauntes, whom the Lorde (when he commeth) shall fynde wakynge. Uerely I saye vnto you, that he shall gyrde hym selfe and make them to syt downe to meate, and walke by, and minister vnto them.


text:
And yf he come in the seconde watch, yee, yf he come in the thirde watch, and fynde them so, happy are those seruauntes.


text:
This vnderstond, that yf the good man of the house knewe, what houre the thefe wolde come, he wolde suerly watch, and not suffer hys housse to be broken vp.


text:
And the Lorde sayde: who is a faythfull and wise stewarde, whom his Lorde shall make ruler ouer his housholde, to geue them their duetie of meat in due season:


text:
But and yf the seruaunt saye in his herte. My Lorde will deferre his comminge (and shall beginne to smite seruauntes and maydens, and to eate and drincke, and to be droncken)


text:
the Lorde of that seruaunt will come in a daye when he thinketh not, and at an houre when he is not ware, and will hewe him in peces, and geue him his rewarde with the vnbeleuers.


text:
The seruaunt that knewe his masters will and prepared not him selfe, nether dyd accordinge to hys wyll, shalbe beaten with many strypes.


text:
But he that knewe not, and dyd commytte thynges worthy of strypes, shalbe beaten with fewe strypes. For vnto whomsoeuer moch is geuen, of him shalbe moche requyred. And to whom men haue committed moch: of him wyll they aske the more.


text:
For from hence forth ther shalbe fyue in one housse deuided, thre against two, and two agaynst thre.


text:
The father shalbe deuided agaynst the sonne, and the sonne agaynst the father. The mother agaynst the daughter, and the daughter agaynst the mother. The mother in lawe agaynst hyr daughter in lawe, and the daughter in lawe, agaynst hyr mother in lawe.


text:
He sayde also to the people: when ye se a cloude ryse out of the west, strayght waye ye saye: ther commeth a shower, and so it is.


text:
Ye ypocrytes, ye can discerne the outwarde appearaunce of the skye and of the erthe: but how happeneth it, that ye cannot skyll of this tyme?


text:
Whan thou goest with thyne aduersary to the ruler, as thou arte in the waye, geue diligence that thou mayst be deliuered from him, least he brynge the to the iudge, and the iudge delyuer the to the iaylar, and the iaylar cast the into preson.


text:
Ther were present at the same season, certayne men that shewed him of the Galyleans, whose bloude Pylate had myngled with theyr awne sacryfyce.


text:
And Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them: Suppose ye that these. Galyleans were greater synners then all the other Galyleans, because they suffred suche punysshment?


text:
Or those .xviij. vpon which the toure in Syloe fell, and slewe them, thynke ye, that they were synners aboue all men that dwelt in Ierusalem?


text:
He tolde also this similitude: a certayne man had a fygge tree planted in his vineyarde & he came and sought frute theron, and founde none.


text:
Then sayde he to the dresser of his vineyarde: beholde, this thre yeare haue I come and sought frute in this fygge tree, and fynde none: cut it doune: why combreth it the ground?


text:
and he answered & sayd vnto him: Lorde, let it alone this yeare also, tyll I dygge rounde aboute it, and donge it,


text:
And beholde, ther was a woman, which had a sprete of infirmite .xviij. yeares: and was bowed together, and coulde in no wyse lifte vp her heade.


text:
When Iesus sawe her, he called her to him, and sayde vnto her woman, thou art deliuered from thy disease.


text:
And the ruler of the synagoge answered with indignacion (because that Iesus had healed on the Saboth daye) and sayde vnto the people. Ther are syxe dayes in which men ought to worke, in them come, that ye maye be healed, and not on the Saboth daye.


text:
But the Lorde answered him and sayde: Thou ypocryte, doth not each one of you on the Saboth daye lowse his oxe or his asse from the stall, and leade him to the water?


text:
And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bounde (lo .xviij. yeares) be lowsed from this bonde on the Saboth daye?


text:
And when he thus sayde, all hys aduersaries were ashamed, and all the people reioysed on all the excellent dedes, that were done by him.


text:
It is like a grayne of mustarde seede, which a man toke, and sowed in his garden: and it grewe and wexed a greate tree, and the foules of the ayer made nestes in the braunches of it.


text:
stryue to enter in at the strayte gate; for many (I saye vnto you) will seke to enter in, and shall not be able.


text:
When the good man of the house is rysen vp, and hath shutt to the dore, and ye beginne to stonde without, and to knocke at the dore sayinge: Lorde, Lord, open vnto vs, and he answer and saye vnto you. (I knowe you not whence ye are)


text:
Then shall ye begyn to saye: we haue eaten & dronken in thy presence, & thou hast taught in oure stretes.


text:
And he shall saye: I tell you, I knowe you not whence ye are: departe from me all ye that worke iniquite.


text:
There shalbe wepinge & gnasihinge of teth, when ye shall se Abraham and Isaac and Iacob, and all the Prophetes in the kyngdome of God, and ye youre selues thrust out.


text:
And they shall come from the east and from the west, and from the north and from the south, and shall syt downe in the kyngdome of God.


text:
The same daye came there certayne of the Pharises, and sayde vnto him. get the out of the waye, and departe hence: for Herode will kyl the.


text:
And he sayde vnto them: Go ye, and tell that foxe, beholde, I cast out deuyls and heale the people to daye and to morowe, and the thyrde daye I make an ende.


text:
Neuerthelesse, I must walke to daye and to morow, and the daye folowyng: for it cannot be that a Prophet perisshe eny other where, saue at Ierusalem.


text:
O Ierusalem, Ierusalem, which killest Prophetes, and stonest them that are sent vnto the: how ofte wolde I haue gathered thy children together, as a byrde doth gather her yonge vnder her wynges, and ye wolde not?


text:
youre habitacion is left vnto you desolate. I tell you, ye shall not se me, vntyll the tyme come that ye shall saye blessed is he that commeth in the name of the Lorde.


text:
And it chaunsed, that he went into the house of one of the chefe Pharyses to eate breed on a Saboth daye: and they watched hym.


text:
And Iesus answered and spake vnto the lawers and Pharyses, sayinge: is it laufull to heale on the Saboth daye?


text:
and answered them, sayinge, which of you shall haue an asse or an oxe fallen into a pytt and wyll not strayght waye pull him out on the Saboth daye?


text:
He put forth also a symilitude to the gestes, when he marked how they preased to the hyest roumes, and sayde vnto them:


text:
When thou art bydden of anye man to a weddynge, syt not downe in the hyest rowme, lest a more honorable man then thou be bydden of him,


text:
and he (that bade him and the) come, and saye to the: geue this man rowme, and thou then beginne wt shame to take the lowest rowme.


text:
But rather when thou art bydden, go and syt in the lowest rowme: that when he that bade the, commeth, he maye saye vnto the: frende syt vp hyer. Then shalt thou haue worshipp in the presence of them that syt at meate with the.


text:
For whosoeuer exalteth him self, shalbe brought lowe. And he that humbleth hym selfe, shalbe exalted.


text:
Then sayde he also to hym, that had desired him to dyner: When thou makest a diner or a supper, call not thy frendes, nor thy brethren, nether thy kynsmen ner thy ryche neyghbours: lest they also bydde the agayne, and a recompence be made the.


text:
& thou shalt be happy, for they can not recompence the But thou shalt be recompensed at the resurreccyon of the iuste men.


text:
When one of them (that sat at meate also) hearde these thynges, he sayd vnto him: happy is he that eateth bread in the kyngdome of God.


text:
and sent his seruaunt at supper tyme, to saye to them that were bydden, come: for all thinges are now ready.


text:
And they all atonce beganne to make excuse. The fyrst sayde vnto him: I haue bought a farme, and I must nedes go, & se it, I praye the haue me excused.


text:
And another sayde: I haue bought fyue yooke of oxen, and I go to proue them, I praye the, haue me excused.


text:
And the seruaunt returned and brought his master worde agayne therof. Then was the good man of the house displeased, and sayde to his seruaunt: Goo out quickly into the stretes and quarters of the cytie, and bring in hyther the poore, and the feble, and the halt and the blynde.


text:
And the Lorde sayd to the seruaunt: Go out vnto the hye wayes and hedges, and compell them to come in, that my house maye be fylled,


text:
If a man come to me, and hate not hys father and mother, and wyfe and chyldren, and brethren, and systers, yee, and his awne lyfe also, he cannot be my disciple.


text:
Which of you disposed to buylde a toure, sytteth not downe before, and counteth the cost, whether he haue sufficient to performe it?


text:
lest after he hath layde the foundacyon, and is not able to performe it, all that beholde it, begynne to mocke hym,


text:
Or what kyng goinge to make batayle agaynst another kinge, sytteth not downe fyrst, and casteth in his mynde, whether he be able with ten thousande, to mete him, that commeth agaynst him with .xx. thousande?


text:
It is nether good for the lande, nor yet for the donge hill, but men cast it out at the dores. He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.


text:
What man of you hauynge an hundred shepe (yf he lose one of them) doth not leaue nynty and nyne in the wildernes, and go after that which is lost, vntill he fynde it?


text:
And assone as he cometh home, he calleth together his louers and neyghbours, saying vnto them: Reioyse with me for I haue founde my shepe, which was loost.


text:
I say vnto you, that like wyse ioye shalbe in heauen ouer one synner that repenteth, more then ouer nynty and nyne iuste persons, which nede no repentaunce.


text:
Ether what woman (hauynge ten grotes, yf she loose one) doth not light a candell, and swepe the housse, and seke diligently tyll she fynde it?


text:
And when she hath founde it, she calleth her louers and her neyghbours together, sayinge: Reioyce with me, for I haue founde the grote which I had lost.


text:
Likewyse I saye vnto you, shall ther be ioye in the presence of the angels of God, ouer one synner that repenteth.


text:
and the yonger of them sayde vnto the father: father, geue me the porcion of the goodes, that to me belongeth. And he deuided vnto them his substance.


text:
And not longe after, whan the yonger sonne had gathered all that he had together, he toke his iorney into a far countreye, and there he wasted his goodes with ryotous liuing.


text:
And he wolde fayne haue fylled his bely with the coddes that the swyne dyd eate: & no man gaue vnto him.


text:
Then he came to him selfe, and sayd: how many hyred seruauntes at my fathers haue breed ynough? and I perishe with honger.


text:
I wyll aryse, and go to my father, and will saye vnto him: father, I haue synned agaynst heauen, and before the,


text:
And he arose, & came to his father. But when he was yet a greate waye of, his father sawe him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kyssed him.


text:
And the sonne sayde vnto him: father, I haue synned agaynst heauen, and in thy syght, & am nomore worthy to be called thy sonne.


text:
But the father sayd to his seruauntes: brynge forth the best garment, and put it on him, and put a rynge on his hande, and shoes on his fete.


text:
for this my sonne was deed, and is alyue agayne, he was loste, and is founde. And they began to be merye.


text:
The elder brother was in the felde: and when he came and drewe nye to the housse, he herde mynstrelsy & daunsynge,


text:
And he sayd vnto him: thy brother is come, and thy father hath kylled the fatt caulfe, because he hath receaued him safe and sounde.


text:
He answered and sayde to his father: Lo, these many yeares haue I done the seruice, nether brake at any tyme thy commaundement, and yet gauest thou me neuer a kid, to make mery with my frendes:


text:
but assone as this thy sonne was come (which hath deuoured thy goodes with harlotes) thou haste for his pleasure kylled the fatt caulfe.


text:
it was mete that we shulde make mery and be glad: for this thy brother was deed, and is alyue agayne: and was loste, and is founde.


text:
And he sayde also vnto his disciples. Ther was a certayn ryche man, whichhad a stewarde, and the same was accused vnto hym, that he had wasted hys goodes.


text:
And he called him, and sayde vnto him: How is it, that I heare thys of the? Geue acomptes of thy stewardshype: For thou mayste be no longer steward.


text:
The stewarde sayde with in him selfe: what shall I do? for my Master taketh awaye from me the stewardeshypp. I cannot dygge, and to begge I am ashamed.


text:
I wote what to do, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they maye receaue me into their houses.


text:
So whan he had called all hys masters detters together, he sayde vnto the fyrst: how moch owest thou vnto my master?


text:
And he sayd: an hundred tonnes of oyle. And he sayde vnto him: take thy byll, & syt doune quyckly and wryte fyftye.


text:
Then sayd he to another: how moch owest thou? And he sayde: an hondred quarters of wheate. He sayde vnto him. Take thy byll, and wryte foure scoore.


text:
And the Lorde commended the vniust stewarde, because he had done wysly. For the chyldren of this worlde are in theyr nacion, wyser then the chyldren of lyght.


text:
And I saye vnto you: make you frendes of the vnryghteous mammon, that when ye shall haue nede they may receaue you into euerlastyng habitacyons.


text:
He that is faythfull in that which is least, is faythfull also in moch. And he that is vnryghteous in the least: is vnryghteous also in moch.


text:
So then, yf ye haue not ben faythfull in the vnryghteous mammon, who wyll beleue you in that which is true?


text:
And yf ye haue not bene faythfull in another mannes busynes, who shal geue you that which is your awne?


text:
No seruaunt can serue two masters: for ether he shall hate the one, and loue the other: or els he shall leane to the one, & despyse the other. Ye cannot serue God & mammon.


text:
And he sayd vnto them: Ye are they which iustifye youre selues before men: but God knoweth youre hertes. For that which is hyghlye estemed amonge men, is abhominable in the syght of God.


text:
The lawe and the Prophetes raygned vntyll Iohn: and sence that tyme, the kyngdome of God is preached, and euery man stryueth to go in.


text:
Whosoeuer forsaketh hys wyfe, and marieth another, committeth aduoutrye. And he which marieth her that is deuorsed from her husbande, committeth aduoutry also.


text:
Ther was a certayne ryche man, which was clothed in purple and fyne whyte, and fared deliciously euery dyae:


text:
desyrynge to be refresshed with the cromes, which fell from the ryche mannes borde. The dogges came also, and lycked his sores,


text:
And it fortuned, that the begger died, and was caryed by the angelles into Abrahams bosome. The riche man also dyed, and was buryed.


text:
And beynge in hell in tormentes, he lyfte vp hys eyes and sawe Abraham a farre of and Lazarus in hys bosome,


text:
and he cryed and sayde: father Abraham: haue mercy on me, and sende Lazarus, that he maye dyppe the typpe of hys fynger in water, and cole my tonge: for I am tormented in this flame.


text:
But Abraham sayde: Sonne remember that thou in thy lyfe tyme, receauedst thy pleasure, & contrary wyse, Lazarus receaued payne. But now is he conforted, and thou art punisshed.


text:
Beyonde all this, betwene vs and you ther is a greate space set, so that they which wolde go from hence to you, cannot: nether maye come from thence to vs.


text:
He sayde vnto him: If they heare not Moses and the Prophetes, nether wyll they beleue, though one rose from deeth agayne.


text:
He sayde vnto the disciples: it cannot be: but offences wyll come. Neuerthelesse wo vnto hym thorow whom they come.


text:
It were better for him that a mylstone were hanged aboute his neck, and he cast into the see, then that he shulde offende one of these lytleons.


text:
and yf he repent, forgeue hym. And though he synne agaynst the seuen tymes in a daye, and seuen tymes in a daye tourne agayne to the, sayinge: it repenteth me, thou shalt forgeue hym.


text:
And the Lorde sayde: yf ye had fayth lyke a grayne of mustarde sede, & shuld saye vnto this Sycamyne tree, plucke thy selfe vp by the rootes, and plant thy selfe in the see: it shulde obey you.


text:
Who is it of you; yf he had a seruaunte plowynge or fedynge catell, that wyll saye vnto hym when he commeth from the felde: Go quyckly, and syt downe to meat,


text:
& sayth not rather vnto him, dresse, wherwt I maye supp, & gyrde vp thy selfe, and serue me, tyll I haue eaten and droncken: and afterward, eate thou, and drincke thou?


text:
Doeth he thanke that seruaunt, because he dyd the thynges that were commaunded vnto him? I trowe not.


text:
So lyke wyse ye, when ye haue done all those thynges which are commaunded you, saye: we are vnprofitable seruauntes. We haue done that, which was oure duety to do.


text:
And as he entred into a certayne towne, ther met him ten men that were lepers. Which stode a farre of,


text:
When he sawe them he sayd vnto them: Go, shewe youre selues vnto the Prestes. And it came to passe, that as they went, they were clensed


text:
And one of them, when he sawe that he was clensed, turned backe agayne, & with a loude voyce praysed God,


text:
When he was demaunded of the Pharises, when the kyngdome of God shulde come, he answered them and sayd: The kyngdome of God shall not come with wayting for,


text:
And he sayde vnto the disciples: the dayes wyll come, when ye shall desyre to se one daye of the sonne of man, and ye shall not se it.


text:
for as the lyghtenynge that apereth out of the one parte that is vnder heauen, & shyneth vnto the other parte which is vnder heauen, so shall the sonne of man be in hys dayes.


text:
They dyd eate & dryncke, they maryed wyues and were maried, euen vnto that same daye that Noe went into the Arke: and the floude cam, and destroyed them all.


text:
Lykewyse also as it chaunced in the dayes of Lot. They dyd eate, they drancke, they bought, they solde they planted, they buylded:


text:
But euen the same daye that Lot went out of Zodom, it rayned with fyre and brymstone from heauen, & destroyed them all.


text:
At that daye he that is on the house topp, and his stuffe in the house: let him not come downe to take it out. And let not him that is in the felde, turne backe agayne to the thinges that he lefte behinde.


text:
Whosoeuer wyll go aboute to saue his lyfe, shal lose it: and whosoeuer shall lose his lyfe, shall saue it.


text:
I tell you: in that night ther shalbe two in one bed, the one shalbe receaued, the other shalbe forsaken:


text:
And they answered, and sayd to him, where Lorde. He sayde vnto them: whersoeuer the body shalbe, thyther wyll also that Egles be gathered together.


text:
And he put forth a parable vnto them, signifying that men ought all wayes to praye and not to be wery,


text:
And ther was a certayne wedowe in the same cytye, and she came vnto hym, sayinge: auenge me of myne aduersary.


text:
And he wolde not for a whyle. But after warde he sayd within him selfe: though I feare not God, nor care for man,


text:
yet because thys wedowe is importune vpon me, I wyll auenge her, lest she come at the last and rayle on me.


text:
And shal not God auenge his electe, which crye daye and nyght vnto him, yee, though he deferre them?


text:
I tell you that he will auenge them, & that quickly. Neuerthelesse, when the sonne of man commeth, shall he fynde fayth on the erth?


text:
And he tolde this parable, vnto certayne which trusted in them selues that they were perfecte, and despysed other


text:
The Pharyse stode and prayed thus with hym selfe: God, I thancke the, that I am not as other men are, extorsioners, vniuste, aduoutrers, or as this publycan.


text:
And the publican stondyng a farre of, wolde not lyfte vp his eyes to heauen, but smote vpon hys brest, saying: God be mercyfull to me a synner:


text:
I tell you: thys man departed home to hys house iustyfyed, more then the other. For euery one that exalteth him self, shalbe brought lowe: And he that humbleth him selfe, shalbe exalted.


text:
They brought vnto him also yong children, that he shulde touche them. When hys dysciples sawe it, they rebuked them.


text:
But Iesus (whan he had called them vnto hym) sayde: Suffre children to come vnto me, and forbyd them not. For of soch is the kyngdome of God.


text:
Uerely I saye vnto you: whosoeuer receaueth not the kyngdome of God as a chylde, shall not enter therin.


text:
Thou knowest the commaundementes: Thou shalt not commit aduoutry: thou shalt not kyll: thou shalt not steale, thou shalt not beare false wytnes: honoure thy father & thy mother.


text:
When Iesus hearde that, he sayd vnto hym: Yet lackest thou one thynge. Sell all that thou hast, and distrybute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come, folowe me.


text:
When Iesus sawe that he was sory, he sayde wyth what difficulte shall they that haue mony, enter into the kingdome of God?


text:
it is easyer for a camell to go thorow a nedles eye, then for a ryche man to enter into the kyngdome of God.


text:
He sayde vnto them: Uerely I saye vnto you: ther is no man that hath forsaken house, ether father or mother, ether brethren, or wyfe, or chyldren (for the kyngdome of Goddes sake)


text:
Iesus toke vnto him the twelue, & sayd vnto them: Beholde, we go vp to Ierusalem, and all shalbe fulfylled, that are wrytten by the Prophetes, of the sonne of man.


text:
& when they haue scourged him, they wyll put hym to deeth, and the thyrd daye he shall aryse agayne.


text:
And they vnderstode none of these thynges. And this saying was hyd from them, so that they perceaued not the thynges which were spoken.


text:
And it came to passe, that as he was come nye vnto Hierico, a certayne blynde man sate by the waye syde, beggynge.


text:
And they whych went before, rebuked hym, that he shulde holde his peace. But he cryed so moch the more: thou sonne of Dauid, haue mercy on me.


text:
And Iesus stode styll, and commaunded hym to be brought vnto hym. And when he was come neare, he asked hym,


text:
And immediatly he receaued his syght, and folowed hym, praysynge God. And all the people, when they sawe it, gaue prayse vnto God.


text:
And behold, ther was a man named Zacheus, whych was a ruler amonge the Publicans, and was ryche also.


text:
And he sought meanes to se Iesus, what he shuld be: and coulde not for the preace, because he was lytle of stature.


text:
And when Iesus cam to the place, he looked vp, and sawe hym, and sayd vnto him: Zache, come downe atonce, for to daye I must abyde at thy house.


text:
And when they sawe it, they all grudged, sayinge: He is gone in to tary with a man that is a synner.


text:
And Zache stode forth, and sayd vnto the Lorde: beholde Lorde, the halfe of my goodes I geue to the poore: and yf I haue done eny man wronge, I restore him foure folde.


text:
Iesus sayde vnto him: this daye is health happened vnto thys house, because that he also is become the chylde of Abraham:


text:
As they hearde these thynges, he added therto a parable, because he was nye to Ierusalem, and because they thought, that the kyngdome of God shulde shortly appeare.


text:
He sayde therfore: a certayne noble man went into a farre countre, to receaue hym a kyngdome, and to come agayne.


text:
And he called hys ten seruauntes, and delyuered them ten pounde, sayinge vnto them: Occupye, tyll I come.


text:
But hys cytesens hated hym, & sent a message after him, sayinge: we will not haue thys man to raygne ouer vs.


text:
And it came to passe, that when he had receaued his kingdome, he returned, & commaunded these seruauntes to be called vnto hym (to whom he had geuen the money) to wete how moch euery man had done.


text:
And he sayd vnto hym: Well thou good seruaunt: because thou hast bene faythfull in a very lytell thynge, haue thou auctoryte ouer ten cyties.


text:
for I feared the, because thou art a strayte man: thou takest vp that thou laydest not downe, and reapest that thou dyddest not sowe.


text:
He sayeth vnto hym: Of thyne awne mouth, wyll I iugde the, thou euyll seruaunt. Knewest thou that I am a strayte man, takynge vp that I layde not downe, & reapynge that I dyd not sowe?


text:
And wherfore gauest not thou my money into the banke, and at my commynge I myght haue required myne awne wyth vauntage?


text:
And he sayd vnto them that stode by, take from hym that pounde, and geue it hym that hath ten pounde.


text:
For I saye vnto you, that vnto euery one which hath, shalbe geuen & from him that hath not shalbe taken awaye, euen that whych he hath.


text:
Moreouer, those myne enemyes, (whych wolde not that I shuld raygne ouer them) brynge hyther, and slee them before me.


text:
And it fortuned, when he was come nye to Bethphage & Bethany, besydes the mounte whych is called Olyuete, he sent two of hys discyples


text:
sayinge: go ye into the towne, which is ouer agaynst you: Into the whych assone as ye are come, ye shall fynde an asses coltetyed, wheron yet neuer man sate. Loose him, and bringe hym hyther.


text:
And yf eny man aske you, why do ye loose him? thus shall ye saye vnto hym: the Lorde hath nede therof.


text:
And when he was now come nye to hye goyng downe of the mounte Olyuete, the whole multitude of the discyples began to reioyce, & to prayse God with a loude voyce, for all the myracles that they had sene,


text:
sayinge: blessed be the kynge that commeth in the name of the Lorde: peace in heauen, and glory in the hyest:


text:
sayinge: If thou haddest knowen those thynges whych belonge vnto thy peace, euen in thys thy daye, thou woldst take hede. But now are they hydde from thyne eyes.


text:
For the dayes shall come vpon the, that thy enemyes also shall cast a banke aboute the, and compasse the rounde, and kepe the in on euery syde,


text:
and make the euen wyth the grounde, and thy chyldren which are in the. And they shall not leaue in the one stone vpon another, because thou knowest not the tyme of thy visitacyon.


text:
sayinge vnto them: It is written: my house is the house of prayer: but ye haue made it a den of theues:


text:
And he taught dayly in the temple. But the hye Prestes & the scrybes and the chefe of the people went aboute to destroye hym:


text:
And it fortuned in one of those dayes (as he taught the people in the temple and preached the gospell) the hye Prestes and the Sribes came together wyth the elders,


text:
& spake vnto him sayinge: Tell vs: by what auctorite doest thou these thynges? Ether who is he, that gaue the thys auctorite?


text:
And they thought wyth in them selues sayinge: yf we saye from heauen, he will saye: why then beleued ye hym not?


text:
But & yf we saye: of men, all the people wyll stone vs. For they be perswaded, that Iohn is a Prophete.


text:
Then beganne he to put forth to the people thys parable: A certayne man planted a vyneyarde, and let it forth to husband men, and went hym selfe into a straunge countre for a greate season.


text:
And when the tyme was come, he sent a seruaunt to the husband men, that they shulde geue hym of the frute of the vineyarde. And they bet hym, and sent hym, awaye emptye.


text:
And agayne, he sent yet another seruaunt. And hym they dyd beat, and entreated hym shamefully, and sent hym awaye emptye.


text:
Then sayd the Lord of the vineyarde: what shall I do? I wyll sende my deare sonne: peraduenture they will stande in awe of him, when they se hym.


text:
But when the husbandmen sawe hym, they thought within them selues, sayinge: this is the heyre, come, let vs kyll hym, that the enheritaunce maye be oures.


text:
And they cast him out of the vineyarde, & kylled him. What shall the Lord of the vineiarde therfore do vnto them?


text:
He shall come, & destroye these husbandmen, & shall let out hys vineyarde to other. When they hearde thys, they sayde: God forbyd.


text:
And he behelde them, and sayde: what is thys then that is wrytten: the stone that the buylders refused, the same is become the heed of the corner?


text:
Whosoeuer doth stomble vpon the stone, shalbe broken: but on whosoeuer it falleth, it wyll grynde him to powder.


text:
And the hye prestes and the Scrybes the same houre went about to laye handes on hym, and they feared the people. For they perceaued that he had spoken thys symilitude agaynst them.


text:
And they watched hym, & sent forth spies, which shuld fayne them selues ryghteous men, to take him in hys wordes, and to delyuer him vnto the power & auctorite of the debyte.


text:
And they asked hym, saying: Master, we knowe that thou sayest and teachest ryght, nether consyderest thou the outward appearaunce of eny man, but teachest the waye of God truly.


text:
And he sayde vnto them: geue then vnto Cesar, the thynges whych belonge vnto Cesar: & to God the thynges that pertayne vnto God.


text:
And they coulde not reproue his sayinge before the people: & they maruayled at his answer, and helde their peace.


text:
Then came to hym certayne of the Saduces, which denye that ther is eny resurreccion. And they asked him


text:
sayinge: Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, yf eny mannes brother dye hauing a wyfe, & he dye without chyldren, that then hys brother shulde take hys wyfe, and rayse vp seede vnto hys brother.


text:
And the thyrde toke her: and in lykewise the residue of the seuen, and left no chyldren behynde them, and dyed.


text:
but they whych shalbe counted worthy of that worlde and the resurreccion from the deed, do not mary wyues, nether are maryed,


text:
nor yet can dye eny more, For they are equall vnto the angels, and are the sonnes of God, in as moch as they are chyldren of the resurreccion.


text:
And that the deed shall ryse agayne: Moses also sheweth besides the busshe, when he calleth: the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob.


text:
And Dauid him selfe sayeth in the boke of the Psalmes: The Lorde sayde vnto my Lorde: syt thou on my ryght hande,


text:
beware of the Scribes, whych wyll go in longe clothynge: & loue gretynges in the markets, and the hyest seates in the synagoges, and the chefe rowmes at feastes,


text:
For they all haue of theyr superfluyte added vnto the offerynges of God: but she, of her penury hath cast in all the substaunce that she had.


text:
And vnto some that spake of the temple, how it was garnysshed with goodly stones and Iewels, he sayde.


text:
The dayes wyll come, in the which (of these thynges which ye se) there shall not be lefte one stone vpon another, that shall not be thorowen doune.


text:
And they asked hym sayinge: Master, when shall these thynges be, and what sygne wyll ther be when soch thynges come to passe?


text:
And he sayde: take hede, that ye be not deceaued. For many shall come in my name, and saye that they are Chryst: and the tyme draweth neare. Folowe ye not them therfore.


text:
But when ye heare of warres and sedicions, be not afrayed. For these thynges must first come to passe, but the ende foloweth not by and by.


text:
and greate erthquakes shalbe in all places, and honger, and pestilence, & fearfull thinges. And greate sygnes shall ther be from heauen.


text:
But before all these, they shall laye handes on you, and persecute you, delyuerynge you vp to the Synagoges & into presons, & shall bringe you vnto kynges & rulers for my names sake.


text:
for I wyll geue you a mouth & wysdome, where agaynste, all your aduersaries shall not be able to speake nor resist.


text:
Moreouer ye shalbe betrayd of your fathers and mothers & brethren, & kynsfolke & frendes, and some of you shall they put to deeth.


text:
And when ye se Ierusalem beseged wyth an hoste, then be sure that the desolacyon, of the same is nye.


text:
Then let them which are in Iewrye, flye to the mountaynes. And let them whych are in the myddes of it, departe out. And let not them that are in other countreyes, enter therin.


text:
But wo vnto them that be with chylde, & to them that geue sucke in those dayes: for there shalbe greate trouble in the lande, and wrath ouer all this people.


text:
And they shall fall thorow the edge of the swearde, and shalbe ledd awaye captyue into all nacions. And Ierusalem shalbe troden downe of the gentyls, vntyll the tyme of the gentyls be fulfylled.


text:
And ther shalbe sygnes in the Sonne, and in the Moone, and in the starres: and in the erth the people shalbe at their wyttes ende, thorow dispayre. The see and the water shall roare,


text:
and mennes hertes shall fayle them for feare, and for lokynge after those thynges which shall come on the erth. For the powers of heauen shall moue.


text:
When these thynges begynne to come to passe: then loke vp, and lyfte vp youre heades, for youre redempcyon draweth nye.


text:
when they shoot forth their buddes, ye se and knowe of youre awne selues, that sommer is then nye at hand.


text:
So lykewyse ye also (when ye se these thynges come to passe) be sure, that the kyngdome of God is nye.


text:
Take hede to your selues, lest at anye tyme youre hertes be ouercome with surfettynge and dronkennes and cares of thys lyfe, and so the daye come vpon you vnwares.


text:
Watch ye therfore contynually, and praye, that ye maye escape all these thynges that shall come, and that ye maye stande before the sonne of man.


text:
In the daye tyme, he taught in the temple: and at nyght, he went out, and abode in the mount that is called Olyuete.


text:
and he went his waye and communed with the hye prestes and officers, how he myght betraye him to them.


text:
And he sayd vnto them: Beholde, when ye entre into the cytie, ther shall a man mete you, bearynge a pytcher of water, him folowe into the same house that he entreth in,


text:
and ye shall saye vnto the good man of the house: The master sayeth vnto the: where is the gest chamber, where I shall eate Passeouer wt my disciples?


text:
And he sayde vnto them: I haue inwardly desyred to eate thys Passeouer wyth you, before that I suffre.


text:
For I saye vnto you: hence forth I wyll not eate of it eny more, vntyll it be fulfilled in the kyngdome of God.


text:
And he toke breed, and whan he had geuen thankes, he brake it, and gaue vnto them, sayinge: Thys is my body, whych is geuen for you. Thys do, in the remembraunce of me.


text:
Lykewyse also, when he had supped, he toke the cup, sayinge: Thys cup is the new testament in my bloude, whych is shedd for you.


text:
And he sayde vnto them: the kynges of nacyons raygne ouer them: and they that haue auctoryte vpon them, are called gracious lordes.


text:
But ye shall not be so. But he that is greatest amonge you, shalbe as the younger: and he that is chefe, shalbe as he that doth mynister.


text:
For whether is greater, he that sytteth at meate, or he that serueth? Is not he that sytteth at meate? But I am amonge you, as he that mynistreth.


text:
that ye maye eate and dryncke at my table in my kyngdome, & syt on seates, iudgynge the twelue trybes of Israell.


text:
but I haue prayed for the, that thy fayth fayle not. And when thou arte conuerted, strength thy brethren.


text:
And he sayd: I tell the Peter, the cocke shall not crowe thys daye, tyll thou haue thryse denyed that thou knewest me.


text:
And he sayde vnto them: when I sent you wythout wallet and scryppe and shoes lacked ye eny thynge? And they sayde, no.


text:
Then he sayde vnto them: but now he that hath a wallet, let hym take it vp, and lykewyse hys scrippe. And he that hath no swearde, let hym sell hys coate, and bye one.


text:
For I saye vnto you, that yet the same whych is wrytten, must be performed in me: euen among the wycked was he reputed. For those thynges whych are wrytten of me, haue an ende.


text:
saying: Father, yf thou wylt, remoue thys cup from me. Neuerthelesse, not my wyll, but thyne be fulfylled.


text:
And he was in an agoyne, and prayed the longer. And hys sweate was lyke droppes of bloud, trycklynge downe to the grounde.


text:
And whan he rose vp from prayer and was come to hys discyples, he founde them slepynge for heuynesse,


text:
Whyll he yet spake: beholde, ther came a company, and he that was called Iudas one of the twelue, went before them, and preased nye vnto Iesus, to kysse hym.


text:
When they which were about hym, sawe what wolde folow, they sayde vnto him: Lorde, shall we smyte with swearde.


text:
Then Iesus sayde vnto the hye prestes and rulers of the temple and the elders, whych were come to hym. Ye be come out, as vnto a thefe, wyth sweardes and staues.


text:
When I was dayly wyth you in the temple, ye stretched forth no handes agaynst me. But thys is euen youre very houre, and the power of darcknes.


text:
Then toke they hym, and ledde hym, and brought hym to the hye Preastes house. But Peter folowed a farre of


text:
And when they had kyndled a fyre in the myddes of the palace, and were set downe together. Peter also sate downe amonge them.


text:
But whan one of the wenches behelde hym, as he sate by the fyer (and loked vp on hym) she sayde: thys same felow was also wyth hym.


text:
And after a lytell whyle, another sawe hym, and sayd, thou art also of them. And Peter sayd: man I am not.


text:
And about the space of an houre after, another affyrmed, sayinge: verely thys felowe was wyth hym also, for he is of Galile.


text:
And Peter sayde: man I wote not what thou sayest. And immediatly whyll he yet spake, the cocke crew.


text:
And the Lorde tourned backe, and loked vpon Peter. And Peter remembred the worde of the Lord, how he had sayd vnto hym: before the cocke crowe, thou shalt deuye me thryse.


text:
and whan they had blyndfolded him, they stroke hym on the face, & asked hym, saying: arede, who is it that smote the?


text:
And assone as it was daye, the elders of the people and the hye Prestes and Scrybes, came together, and ledde hym into their councell, sayinge:


text:
And they beganne to accuse him, sayinge: we founde thys felowe peruertinge the people, and forbyddynge to paye tribute to Cesar: sayinge, that he is Chryst a kynge.


text:
And Pylate apposed him, sayinge: art thou the kynge of the Iewes? He answered hym, and sayde: thou sayest it.


text:
And they were the more fearce, sayinge: He moueth the people, teachyng thorow out all Iewry, and beganne at Galile, euen to thys place.


text:
And assone as he knewe that he belonged vnto Herodes iurisdiccyon, he sent him to Herode, whych was also at Ierusalem at that tyme.


text:
And when Herode sawe Iesus, he was exceadyng glad, For he was desyrous to se hym of a longe season, because he had hearde many thynges of hym, and he trusted to haue sene some myracle done by hym.


text:
And Herod wyth hys men of warre, despysed hym: and whan he had mocked hym, he arayed hym in whyte clothyng, and sent hym agayne to Pylate.


text:
and sayde vnto them: ye haue brought thys man vnto me, as one that peruerteth the people. And beholde, I examyn hym before you, and fynde no faute in thys man, of those thynges where of ye accuse hym:


text:
He sayde vnto them the thyrde tyme: What euyll hath he done? I fynde no cause of deeth in him. I wyll therfore chasten him, & let him go.


text:
And they cryed wyth loude voyces, requiryng that he myght be crucyfyed. And the voyces: of them and of the hye Prestes preuayled.


text:
and he let losse vnto them, hym that (for insurreccyon & morther) was cast into preson, whom they had desyred, and he delyuered vnto them Iesus, to do wt hym what they wolde.


text:
And as they ledde hym awaye, they caught one Symon of Syren, commynge out of the felde: and on hym layde they the crosse, that he myght beare it after Iesus.


text:
But Iesus turned backe vnto them, and sayd: Ye daughters of Ierusalem, wepe not for me: but wepe for youre selues, and for youre chyldren.


text:
For beholde, the dayes wyl come, in the which they shall saye: happy are the baren and the wombes that neuer bare, and the pappes which neuer gaue sucke.


text:
And after that they were come to the place (which is called Caluary) ther they crucifyed him, & the euyl doers, one on the ryght hande, and the other on the lefte.


text:
Then sayd Iesus: father forgeue them, for they wote not what they do. And they parted his rayment, and cast lottes.


text:
And the people stode, and behelde. And the rulers mocked him wyth them, saying: he saued other men, let him saue him selfe, yf he be very Christ, the chosen of God.


text:
And a superscripcyon was wrytten ouer hym, wt lettres of Greke, & Latin, and Hebrew: This is the kynge of the Iewes.


text:
And one of the euyll doers whych were hanged, rayled on him, sayinge: If thou be Chryst, saue thy selfe and vs.


text:
But the other answered & rebuked him, sayinge: Fearest thou not God, seynge thou art in the same dampnacyon?


text:
We are ryghteously punysshed, for we receaue accordynge to oure dedes: But thys man hath done nothynge amysse.


text:
And whan Iesus had cryed with a loude voyce, he sayd: Father, into thy handes I commende my sprete. And when he thus had sayd, he gaue vp the goost.


text:
When the Centuryon sawe what had happened, he gloryfyed God sayinge. Uerely, this was a righteous man.


text:
And all the people that came together to that syght, & sawe the thynges whych had happened, smote theyr brestes, and returned.


text:
And all hys acquayntaunce and the wemen that folowed hym from Galile, stode a farre of, beholdynge these thynges.


text:
the same had not consented to the counsell & dede of them, whych was of Aramathia, a cytie of the Iewes, whych same also wayted for the kyngdome of God:


text:
and toke it downe and wrapped it in a lynnen clooth, and layed it in a sepulchre that was hewen in stone, wherin neuer man before was layed.


text:
The wemen that folowed after, whych had come wyth hym from Galile, behelde the sepulcre, and how his body was layed.


text:
And they returned and prepared swete odoures and oyntmentes: but rested the Sabboth daye, accordynge to the commaundement.


text:
But vpon the fyrst daye of the Sabbothes, very early in the mornynge, they came vnto the sepulcre, and brought the swete odoures whych they had prepared, and other wemen wyth them.


text:
And as they were afrayde, and bowed doune theyr faces to the erth, they sayde vnto them: why seke ye the lyuynge amonge the deed?


text:
sayinge: that the sonne of man must be delyuered into the handes of synfull men, and be crucyfyed, and the thyrde daye ryse agayne.


text:
It was Mary Magdalen, & Ioanna, and Mary Iacobi, and other that were wyth them, whych tolde these thynges vnto the Apostles.


text:
Then arose Peter and ran vnto the sepulchre, and loked in, and sawe the lynnen clothes layde by them selfe, and departed, wondrynge in hym selfe at that whych had happened.


text:
And beholde, two of them went that same daye to a towne (called Emaus) which was from Ierusalem about thre skore forlonges,


text:
And it chaunsed, that whyle they communed together and reasoned, Iesus hym selfe drue neare, and went wyth them.


text:
And he sayde vnto them: What maner of communycacyons are these that ye haue one to another, as ye walke, and are sadd?


text:
And the one of them (whose named was Cleophas) answered, and sayde to hym: art thou onely a straunger in Ierusalem, and hast not knowen the thynges whych haue chaunsed there, in these dayes?


text:
He sayde vnto them: what thynges? And they sayd vnto hym: of Iesus of Nazareth, whych was a Prophet, myghtye in dede and worde before God and all the people:


text:
and how the hye Prestes, and oure rulers delyuered hym to be condempned to deeth: & haue crucyfyed hym.


text:
But we trusted that it had bene he whych shuld haue redemed Israel. And as touchynge all these thynges, to daye is euen the thyrd daye, that they were done.


text:
Yee, and certayne wemen also of oure company made vs astonnyed, which came early vnto the sepulchre,


text:
and founde not hys body: and came, sayinge, that they had sene a visyon of angels, whych sayd that he was alyue.


text:
And certayne of them whych were wyth vs, went to the sepulchre, and founde it euen so as the wemen had sayde: but hym they sawe not.


text:
And he began at Moses, and all the Prophetes, & interpreted vnto them in all scriptures whych were wrytten of hym.


text:
And they drue nye vnto the towne, whych they went vnto. And he made, as though he wold haue gone further.


text:
And they constrayned hym sayinge: abyde wyth vs, for it draweth towardes nyght, and the daye is farre passed. And he went into tary wyth them.


text:
And it came to passe, as he sate at meate wyth them, he toke bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gaue to them.


text:
And they sayd betwene them selues: dyd not oure hertes burne wyth in vs, whyll he talked wyth vs by the waye, and opened to vs the scryptures?


text:
And they rose vp, the same houre, and returned agayne to Ierusalem, and founde the eleuen gathered together, and them that were wyth them,


text:
As they thus spake Iesus hym selfe stode in the myddes of them, and sayeth vnto them: peace be vnto you.


text:
Beholde my handes and my fete, that it is euen I my selfe. Handle me and se: for a sprete hath not flesshe and bones, as ye se me haue.


text:
And he sayde vnto them. These are the wordes whych I spake vnto you, whyll I was yet with you: that all must nedes be fulfylled, whych were wrytten of me in the lawe of Moses and in the Prophetes, and in the Psalmes.


text:
and sayde vnto them: Thus is it wrytten, and thus it behoued Christ to suffre, and to ryse agayne from deeth the thyrde daye,


text:
& that repentaunce and remyssyon of synnes shulde be preached in hys name amonge all nacyons, and must begynne at Ierusalem.


text:
And beholde, I will sende the promes of my father vpon you. But tary ye in the cytie of Ierusalem, vntyll ye be endewed wyth power from an hye.


text:
But as many as receaued hym to them gaue he power to be the sonnes of God: euen them that beleued on hys name:


text:
whych were borne, not of bloude nor of the wyll of the flesshe, nor yet of the wyll of man: but of God.


text:
And the same worde became flesshe, and dwelt amonge vs: and we sawe the glory of it, as the glory of the onely begotten sonne of the father, full of grace and trueth.


text:
Iohn beareth wytnes of hym, and cryeth sayinge: Thys was he of whom I spake: which though he came after me, went before me, for he was before me.


text:
No man hath sene God at eny tyme. The onely begotten sonne, whych is in the bosome of the father, he hath declared hym.


text:
And thys is the recorde of Iohn: when the Iewes sent Prestes and Leuites from Ierusalem, to aske hym, what art thou?


text:
And they asked him: what then? art thou Helyas? And he sayeth: I am not. Arte thou that Prophete? And he answered no.


text:
Then sayde they vnto hym: what art thou, that we maye geue an answer to them that sent vs. What sayest thou of thy selfe?


text:
He sayde I am the voyce of a criar in the wildernes, make strayght the waye of the Lorde, as sayde the Prophete Esaias.


text:
And they asked him, & sayde vnto him: why baptisest thou then, yf thou be not Christ, nor Helias, nether that Prophet?


text:
Iohn answered them sayinge I baptise with water: but there stondeth one amonge you, whom ye knowe not,


text:
The nexte daye, Iohn seeth Iesus comminge vnto hym, and sayeth beholde the lambe of God, whych taketh awaye the synne of the worlde.


text:
and I knewe him not: but that he shuld be declared to Israell, therfore am I come baptysinge with water.


text:
And Iohn bare recorde, sayinge: I sawe the sprete descende from heauen, lyke vnto a doue, & abode vpon him,


text:
and I knewe hym not. But he that sent me to baptise in water, the same sayde vnto me: vpon whom thou shalt se the sprete descende, and tary styll on hym, the same is he whych baptiseth wyth the holy goost.


text:
And Iesus turned about, and sawe them folowe hym, & sayeth vnto them: what seke ye? They sayd vnto hym: Rabbi (whych is to saye yf one interprete it Master) where dwellest thou?


text:
He sayeth vnto them: come & se. They came, & sawe where he dwelt: & abode with hym that daye. For it was about the tenth houre.


text:
The same founde hys brother Simon fyrst, and sayeth vnto him: we haue founde Messias (whych is by interpretacion, annoynted)


text:
and brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde hym, and sayde: thou art Simon the sonne of Ionas, thou shalt be called Cephas: which is by interpretacion a stone.


text:
Philip founde Nathanael, and sayeth vnto him: We haue founde hym, of whome Moses in the lawe and the Prophetes dyd wryte, Iesus the sonne of Ioseph of Nazareth.


text:
And Nathanael sayd vnto him can there eny good thynge come out of Nazareth? Philip sayeth vnto him come and se.


text:
Iesus sawe Nathanael comynge to him, & sayeth of him: Beholde a ryght Israelyte, in whom is no gyle.


text:
Nathanael sayeth vnto him: whence knowest thou me? Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him. Before that Philip called the, when thou wast vnder the fygge tree, I sawe the.


text:
Nathanael answered and sayd vnto him: Rabbi, thou art euen the very sonne of God, thou art the kyng of Israel.


text:
Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him: Because I sayde vnto the, I sawe the vnder the fygge tree, thou beleuest. Thou shalt se greater thynges then these.


text:
And he sayeth vnto him: Uerely, verely, I saye vnto you: herafter shall ye se heauen open, & the angels of God ascendynge & descendynge ouer the sonne of man.


text:
And ther were standynge there, syxe waterpottes of stone after the maner of the purifyenge of the Iewes, contaynynge two or thre fyrkins a pece.


text:
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was turned vnto wyne, and knewe not whence it was (but the mynistres whych drue the water knewe) He calleth the brygdegome,


text:
and sayeth vnto hym: Euery man at the begynninge doth sett forth good wyne, and when men be droncke, then that whych is worse. But thou hast kept the good wyne, vntyll now.


text:
Thys begynninge of myracles dyd Iesus in Cana of Galile, and shewed hys glory, & his disciples beleued on him.


text:
After this he wente downe to Capernaum, he & his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples, and there continued not manye dayes.


text:
And when he had made (as it were) a scourge of smal coardes, he droue them all out of the temple, with the shepe & oxen, and powred out the chaungers money, and ouerthrue the tables,


text:
& sayde vnto them that solde doues: Haue these thinges hence, & make not my fathers house an house of marchaundyse.


text:
Then answered the Iewes and sayde vnto him: what token shewest thou vnto vs, seinge that thou dost these thynges?


text:
Then sayde the Iewes .xlvj. yeres was thys temple a byldynge: & wylt thou reare it vp in thre dayes?


text:
Assone therfore as he was rysen from deeth agayne, his disciples remembred that he thus had sayde. And they beleued the scripture, & the wordes which Iesus had sayde


text:
When he was in Ierusalem at Easter in the feast daye, many beleued on his name, when they sawe his myracles whych he dyd.


text:
The same cam to Iesus by nyght, and sayde vnto him: Rabbi, we knowe that thou arte a teacher come from God: for no man coulde do suche myracles as thou doest, except God were wt him.


text:
Iesus answered & sayd vnto him: Uerely, verely, I saye vnto the, except a man be borne from aboue, he cannot se the kyngdom of God.


text:
Nicodemus sayeth vnto hym how can a man be borne when he is olde? can he enter into hys mothers wombe and be borne agayne?


text:
Iesus answered verely, verely, I saye vnto the: except a man be borne of water & of the sprete, he cannot enter into the kyngdom of God,


text:
The wynde bloweth where it lysteth, & thou hearest the sounde therof but canst not tell whence it commeth & whether it goeth. So is euery one that is borne of the sprete.


text:
Uerely, verely I saye vnto the: we speake that we do knowe, & testify that we haue sene: and ye receaue not oure wytnes.


text:
If I haue tolde you earthly thinges, and ye beleue not: how shall ye beleue, yf I tell you of heauenly thynges.


text:
And no man ascendeth vp to heauen, but he that came doune from heauen, euen the sonne of man whych is in heauen:


text:
For God so loue the worlde, that, he gaue is only begotten sonne, that whosoeuer beleueth in him, shulde not perisshe, but haue euerlastyng lyfe.


text:
For God sent not his sonne into the worlde, to condempne the worlde but that the world through him myght be saued.


text:
He that beleueth on him, is not condemned. But he that beleueth not, is condemned all ready, because he hath not beleued in the name of the onely begotten sonne of God,


text:
And thys is the condemnacion: that lyght is come into the world, and men loued darcknes more then light, because their dedes were euyll.


text:
For euery one that euyll doeth, hateth the lyght: nether commeth to the lyght, lest his dedes shuld be reproued.


text:
But he that doth trueth, commeth to the lyght, that hys dedes maye be knowen, how that they are wrought in God.


text:
After these thinges cam Iesus & his disciples into the land of Iewry & ther he taried with them. and baptysed,


text:
And Iohn also baptised in Enon besydes Salim, because ther was moch water there, & they came & were baptised.


text:
And they came vnto Iohn, & sayde vnto him: Rabbi, he that was wyth the beyonde Iordan (to whom thou barest wytnes) beholde the same baptiseth & all men come to hym.


text:
He that hath the bryde, is the brydegrome. But the frende of the brydegrome, whych standeth and heareth hym, reioyseth greatly because of the brydegromes voyce. This my ioye therfore is fulfilled.


text:
He that commeth from an hye, is aboue all: He that is of the erth, is earthly, and speaketh of the erth. He that commeth from heauen, is aboue all,


text:
For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the wordes of God: For God geueth not the sprete by measure vnto him.


text:
He that beleueth on the sonne hath euerlastinge lyfe: He that beleueth not the sonne, shall not se lyfe, but the wrath of God abydeth on him.


text:
As sone as the Lord knewe, how the Pharises had hearde, that Iesus made and baptised moo disciples then Iohn


text:
Then came he to a cytie of Samaria (which is called Sichar) Besydes the possessyon that Iacob gaue to his sonne Ioseph,


text:
And there was Iacobs well. Iesus then beyng werye of hys iorney, sate thus on the well. And it was about the syxte houre:


text:
Then sayeth the woman of Samaria vnto him: howe is it, that thou beinge a Iewe, askest drincke of me, which am a Samaritane? For the Iewes medle not with the Samaritans.


text:
Iesus answered and sayde vnto hyr: yf thou knewest the gyfte of God, and who it is that sayeth to the geue me drincke, thou woldest haue asked of him, & he wolde haue geuen the water of lyfe.


text:
The woman sayeth vnto him: Syr, thou hast nothynge to drawe wyth, & the well is depe: from whence then hast thou that water of lyfe?


text:
Art thou greater then oure father Iacob which gaue vs the well, and he him selfe, drancke therof, and his children, and his catell?


text:
But whosoeuer drincketh of the water that I shall geue him, shall neuer bemore a thyrst: but the water that I shall geue him, shalbe in him a well of water, spryngynge vp into euerlastinge lyfe.


text:
The woman sayeth vnto him: Syr, geue me of that water, that I thyrst not, nether come hyther to drawe.


text:
Iesus sayde vnto her: Thou hast well sayd, I haue no husband. For thou hast had fyue husbandes, & he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband. In that saydest thou truely.


text:
Oure fathers worshypped in thys mountayne & ye saye that in Ierusalem is the place, where men ought to worshyppe.


text:
Iesus sayeth vnto her: woman beleue me, the houre commeth, when ye shall (nether in this mountayne, nor yet at Ierusalem) worshyppe the fathers:


text:
But the houre commeth & now is, when the true worshyppers shall worshyppe the father in sprete, & in the treuth. For such the father also requyreth to worshyppe hym.


text:
The woman sayeth vnto him: I wote, that Messias shall come, whych is called Chryst. When he is come, he wyll tell vs all thynges Iesus sayeth vnto hyr.


text:
And immediatly came hys disciples, & marueyled that he talked with the woman. Yet no man sayd: what meanest thou or why talkest thou with her?


text:
Saye not ye: there are yet foure monethes, & then commeth haruest? Beholde I saye vnto you: lyfte vp youre eyes, and loke on the regions: for they are whyte all ready vnto haruest.


text:
And he that reapeth, receaueth rewarde, and gathereth frute vnto lyfe eternall: that both he that soweth, & he that reapeth, myght reioyse together.


text:
I sent you to reape that wheron ye bestowed no laboure. Other men laboured, & ye are entred into their labours.


text:
Many of the Samaritans of that cytie beleued on him, for the saying of the woman, which testified that he tolde her all that euer she dyd.


text:
So, when the Samaritans were come vnto him, they besought him, that he wolde tary with them. And he abode there two dayes.


text:
and sayde vnto the woman. Now we beleue, not because of thy sayinge: for we haue herde him oure selues, and knowe that thys is euen Christ, the sauioure of the worlde.


text:
Then, as sone as he was come into Galile, the Galileans receaued him: whan they had sene all the thynges that he dyd at Ierusalem at the daye of the feast. For they went also vnto the feast daye


text:
So Iesus cam agayne into Cana of Galile wher he turned the water into wyne. And ther was a certayne ruler, whose sonne was sycke at Capernaum.


text:
As sone as the same herde that Iesus was come out of Iewry into Galile, he went vnto him, & besought him, that he wolde come downe, and heale his sonne. For he was euen at the poynt of death.


text:
Iesus sayeth vnto hym: Go thy waye, thy sonne lyueth. The man beleued the worde that Iesus had spoken vnto him. And he went his waye.


text:
Then enquyred he of them the houre, when he beganne to amende. And they sayd vnto him: Yester daye at the seuenth houre, the feuer lefte him.


text:
So the father knewe, that it was the same houre, in the which Iesus sayde vnto him: Thy sonne lyueth. And he beleued, and all his housholde.


text:
And ther is at Ierusalem, by the slaughterhouse, a pole (which is called in the Ebrue tonge, Bethseda) hauing fyue porches,


text:
in whych laye a greate multitude of sycke folcke, of blinde, halt, and wythered, waytinge for the mouinge of the water.


text:
For an angell went doune at a certayne ceason into the pole, and stered the water. Whosoeuer then fyrst (after the steringe of the water) stepped in, was made whoale of whatsoeuer disease he had.


text:
When Iesus sawe him lye, and knewe that he now longe tyme had bene dyseased, he sayeth vnto him: Wylt thou be made whole?


text:
The sycke man answered hym: Syr, I haue no man when the water is troubled, to put me into the pole. But in the meane time, whyle I am aboute to come, another steppeth downe before me.


text:
And immediatly the man was made whole, and toke vp hys bed, and walked. And the same daye was the Saboth.


text:
The Iewes therfore sayde vnto hym that was made whole: It is the Saboth daye, it is not laufull for the to cary thy bed.


text:
And he that was healed, wist not who it was. For Iesus had gotten him selfe awaye, because that ther was preace of people in that place.


text:
Afterwarde, Iesus founde him in the temple, and sayde vnto him: beholde, thou art made whole, synne nomore, lest a worsse thinge happen vnto the.


text:
And therfore the Iewes dyd persecute Iesus, and sought the meanes to slee him, because he had done these thynges on the Sabboth daye.


text:
Therfore, the Iewes sought the more to kyll him, not onely because he had broken the Sabboth: but sayde also that God was hys father and made hym selfe equall with God.


text:
Then answered Iesus, & sayde vnto them: verely, verely. I saye vnto you the sonne can do nothinge of him selfe, but that he seeth the father do. For whatsoeuer he doeth, that doeth the sonne also.


text:
For the father loueth the sonne, and sheweth hym all thinges that he hym selfe doeth. And he will shewe him greater workes then these, because ye shuld maruayle.


text:
For lykewyse as the father rayseth vp the deed, and quyckeneth them, euen so the sonne quyckeneth whom he wyll


text:
because that all men shuld honoure the sonne euen as they honoure the father. He that honoureth not the sonne, the same honoureth not the father which hath sent hym.


text:
Uerely, verely I saye vnto you. He that heareth my worde, & beleueth on him that sent me, hath euerlasting lyfe, and shall not come into damnacyon: but is scaped from deeth vnto lyfe.


text:
Uerely, verely, I saye vnto you the houre shall come, & nowe it is, when the deed shall heare the voyce of the sonne of God. And they that heare, shall lyue.


text:
For as the father hath lyfe in hym selfe, so lykewyse hath he geuen to the sonne to haue lyfe in hym selfe:


text:
Maruayle not at this: for the houre shal come, in that which, all that are in the graues, shall heare hys voyce,


text:
and shall come forth: they that haue done good, vnto the resurreccion of lyfe: and they that haue done euyll, vnto the resurreccion of damnacion.


text:
I can of myne awne selfe do nothing. As I heare, I iudge, and my iudgment is iust, because I seke not myne awne wyll, but the wyll of the father whych hath sent me


text:
Ther is another that beareth witnes of me: & I am sure, that the wytnes which he beareth of me, is true.


text:
But I haue greater wytnes, then the wytnes of Iohn For the worckes which the father hath geuen me to finyshe, the same workes that I do, beare wytnes of me, that the father hath sent me.


text:
And the father him selfe which hath sent me hath borne witnes of me. Ye haue not hearde hys voyce at eny tyme nor sene hys shape,


text:
Search the scriptures, for in them ye thinke ye haue eternall lyfe & they are they which testify of me.


text:
I am come in my fathers name and ye receaue me not. If another come in hys awne name, hym wyll ye receaue:


text:
How can ye beleue, which receaue honoure one of another, & seke not the honoure that commeth of God onely?


text:
Do not thyncke that I wyll accuse you to my father. Ther is one that accuseth you: euen Moses in whom ye trust.


text:
& a great multitude folowed him, because they sawe his myracles whych he dyd on them that were diseased.


text:
When Iesus then lyfte vp his eyes, and sawe a great company come vnto him, he sayeth vnto Philip: whence shall we bye breed, that these maye eate?


text:
Philip answered him two hundred peny worthe of breed are not sufficient for them, that euery man maye take a lytell.


text:
And Iesus sayde. Make the people syt downe. Ther was moch grasse in that place. So the men sate downe in nombre, about fyue thousand.


text:
And Iesus toke the breed: And whan he had geuen thanckes, he gaue to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set downe: And lykewyse of the fysshes as moch as they wolde:


text:
When they had eaten ynough, he sayeth vnto his disciples: gather vp the broken meate whych remayneth: that nothynge be lost.


text:
And they gathered it together, and fylled twelue baskettes with the broken meate of the fyue barly loaues: whych broken meate remayned vnto them that had eaten.


text:
Then those men (when they had sene the myracle that Iesus dyd) sayd: this is of a trueth the same Prophete, that shulde come into the worlde.


text:
When Iesus therfore perceaued, that they wolde come, & take hym vp to make hym kyng, he departed agayne into a mountayne him selfe alone.

& gat vp into a shippe, and came ouer the see vnto Capernaum. And it was now darcke, and Iesus was not come to them.


text:
So when they had rowen about a .xxv. or .xxx. furlonges, they sawe Iesus walkyng in the see, & drawing nye vnto the shippe, & they were afrayed.


text:
Then wold they haue receaued him into the shyp, & immediatly the shyp was at the lande whyther they went.


text:
The daye folowynge whan the people (whych stode on the other syde of the see) sawe, that ther was none other shyp there, saue that one wher into his disciples were entred, & that Iesus went not in wyth his disciples into the shyp: but that his disciples were gone awaye alone


text:
(Howbeit, ther cam other shyppes from Tiberias nye vnto the place, where they dyd eate bred, after that the Lord had geuen thankes)


text:
when the people therfore sawe that Iesus was not there, nether hys disciples, they also toke shypping, & came to Capernaum, sekynge for Iesus.


text:
And when they had founde hym on the other syde of the see, they sayde vnto hym: Rabbi, when camest thou hyther?


text:
Iesus answered them, and sayde: verely, verely I saye vnto you: ye seke me, not because ye sawe the myracles but because ye dyd eate of the loaues, and were fylled.


text:
Laboure not for the meate whych perissheth, but for that whych endureth vnto euerlastinge lyfe, whych meate the sonne of man shall geue vnto you. For hym hath God the father sealed.


text:
Iesus answered & sayde vnto them: This is the worcke of God, that ye beleue on him, whom he hath sent,


text:
They sayde therfore vnto him what sygne shewest thou then, that we maye se, and beleue the? What doest thou worcke?


text:
Then Iesus sayde vnto them: verely, verely I saye vnto you: Moses gaue you not that breed from heauen: but my father geueth you the true breed from heauen.


text:
And Iesus sayd vnto them. I am the breed of lyfe. He that commeth to me shall not honger: and he that beleueth on me shall neuer thurst.


text:
And this is the fathers wyll whych hath sent me, that of all whych he hath geuen me, I shall loose nothinge: but rayse them vp agayne at the last daye.


text:
And thys is the will of him that sent me: that euery one whych seeth the sonne and beleueth on him, haue euerlasting lyfe. And I wyll rayse him vp at the last daye.


text:
And they sayde: Is not this Iesus the sonne of Ioseph, whose father & mother we knowe? How is it then that he sayeth, I came downe from heauen?


text:
No man can come to me, except the father which hath sent me, drawe hym: And I wyll rayse hym vp at the last daye.


text:
It is written in the Prophetes: and they shalbe all taught of God. Euery man therfore that hath hearde, and hath learned of the father, commeth vnto me.


text:
I am that lyuinge bread, whych came downe from heauen. If eny man eate of this bread, he shall liue for euer And the breed that I will geue, is my flesshe, whych I will geue for the lyfe of the worlde.


text:
The Iewes therfore stroue amonge them selues, saying: How can this felowe geue vs the flessh of his, to eate?


text:
Then Iesus sayde vnto them: Uerely, verely, I saye vnto you, except ye eate the flesshe of the sonne of man, and drinke his bloude: ye haue no lyfe in you.


text:
Whoso eateth my flesshe & dryncketh my bloude, hath eternall lyfe, & I wyll rayse him vp at the last daye.


text:
As the lyuinge father hath sent me, and I liue for the father: Euen so he that eateth me, shall lyue by the meanes of me.


text:
This is the breed, which cam downe from heauen: not as youre fathers dyd eate Manna, & are deed: He that eateth of this breed, shall lyue euer.


text:
Many therfore of his disciples (when they had herde this) sayde: this is an harde sayinge: who can abyde the bearinge of it?


text:
Iesus knewe in him selfe, that his disciples murmured at it, & he sayd vnto them: Doth this offende you?


text:
It is the sprete that quyckeneth, the flesh proffyteth nothinge. The wordes that I speake vnto you, are sprete and lyfe.


text:
But there are some of you that beleue not. For Iesus knewe from the begynninge, which they were, that beleued not, & who shulde betraye him:


text:
And he sayd: therfore sayde I vnto you: that noman can come vnto me, except it were geuen vnto hym of my father.


text:
He spake of Iudas Iscarioth the sonne of Simon. For he it was, that shuld betraye hym, beynge one of the twelue.


text:
After these thinges, Iesus went about in Galile: for he wolde not go aboute in Iewry because that the Iewes sought to kyll hym.


text:
Hys brethren therfore sayde vnto him: get the hence, and go into Iewry, that thy disciples also maye se thy worckes that thou doest.


text:
For ther is no man that doeth eny thynge in secret, and he hym selfe seketh to be knowne openlye. If thou do soch thinges, shewe thy selfe to the world.


text:
The worlde cannot hate you. But me it hateth: because I testify of it, that the workes therof are euill.


text:
But as sone as his brethren were come, then went he also vp vnto the feast not openly: but as it were preuely.


text:
And moch murmuringe was ther of him amonge the people. For some sayde: He is good, other sayde naye, but he deceaueth the people.


text:
If eny man wyll be obedient vnto his wyll, he shall knowe of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speake of my selfe.


text:
He that speaketh of him selfe, seketh his awne prayse. But he that seketh hys prayse that sent him, the same is true, & no vnryghtewesnes is in him.


text:
Moses therfore gaue vnto you the circuncisyon: not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers: And yet ye on the Saboth daye, circuncyse a man.


text:
If a man on the Saboth daye receaue circumcysion without breakynge of the lawe of Moses: disdayne ye at me, because I haue made a man euery whit whoale on the Saboth daye?


text:
But lo, he speaketh boldly, and they saye nothing to him. Do the rulers knowe in dede, that this is very Christ?


text:
Then cryed Iesus in the temple (as he taught) saying: ye both knowe me, and whence I am ye knowe. And I am not come of my selfe: but he that sent me is true, whom ye knowe not.


text:
Many of the people beleued on hym & sayde: when Christ commeth, will he do moo myracles then these, that this man hath done?


text:
The Pharises hearde that the people murmured suche thinges concernyng him And the pharises and hye prestes sent ministres to take him.


text:
Then sayde the Iewes among them selues: whither wyll he go, that we shall not fynde him? Wyll he go amonge the gentyls (whych are scattered abroade) and teach the gentyls:


text:
What maner of saying is this that he sayd: ye shall seke me, & shall not finde me: and where I am, thyther can ye not come?


text:
In the last daye, that great daye of the feast Iesus stode, and cryed, sayinge: If eny man thyrst, lett him come vnto me, & drincke.


text:
He that beleueth on me (as sayeth the scripture) out of his belly shall flowe ryuers of water of lyfe.


text:
But this spake he of the sprete, whych they that beleue on him, shulde receaue. For the holy goost was not yet there, because Iesus was not yet glorifyed.


text:
Sayeth not the scripture, that Christ shall come of the seed of Dauid: and out of the towne of Bethleem where Dauid was?


text:
Then came the mynisters to the hye prestes and Pharises. And they sayed vnto them: why haue ye not brought him?


text:
They answered, and sayd vnto him: art thou also of Galile? Search & loke, For out of Galile aryseth no Prophete.


text:
and early in the mornynge he came agayne into the temple, and all the people cam vnto hym, & he sate downe, & taught them.


text:
And the Scribes & Pharises brought vnto hym a woman taken in aduoutry: & whan they had set hir in the myddes,


text:
This they sayde to tempt him that they myght accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, and with his fynger wrote on the grounde.


text:
So, whan they contynued askynge him, he lyfte him selfe vp, and sayde vnto them: let him that is amonge you without synne, cast the fyrst stone at her.


text:
And assone as they hearde this, they went out one by one, begynning at the eldest. And Iesus was lefte alone, & the woman standynge in the myddes.


text:
When Iesus had lyfte vp him selfe, and sawe no man, but the woman, he sayde vnto hir: woman, where are those thyne accusars? Hath no man condempned the?


text:
Then spake Iesus agayne vnto them, saying: I am the lyght of the worlde. He that foloweth me, doth not walke in darcknes but shall haue the light of lyfe.


text:
Iesus answered, & sayde vnto them: though I beare recorde of my selfe, yet my recorde is true: for I knowe whence I cam, and whither I go. But ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.


text:
Then sayde they vnto him: where is thy father? Iesus answered: ye nether knowe me, nor yet my father: If ye had knowen me, ye shulde haue knowen my father also.


text:
These wordes spake Iesus in the tresury as he taught in the temple, and no man layde handes on hym for his houre was not yet come.


text:
Then sayde Iesus agayne vnto them: I go my waye, & ye shall seke me, & shall dye in youre synnes. Whyther I go, thyther can ye not come.


text:
Then sayde the Iewes: will he kyll him selfe, because he sayth: whyther I go, thyther can ye not come?


text:
And he sayde vnto them: ye are from beneth, I am from aboue. Ye are of this world, I am not of this world,


text:
I sayd therfore vnto you, that ye shal dye in youre synnes. For yf ye beleue not that I am he, ye shall dye in youre synnes.


text:
Then sayd they vnto him. who arte thou? And Iesus sayeth vnto them: Euen the very same thing that I speake vnto you.


text:
I haue many thinges to saye, and to iudge of you: Yee, & he that sent me, is true. And I speake in the world, those thinges, which I haue hearde of hym.


text:
Then sayd Iesus vnto them: when ye haue lyft vp an hye the sonne of man, then shall ye knowe, that I am he, and that I do nothinge of my selfe: but as my father hath taught me, euen so I speake these thinges:


text:
and he that sent me, is wt me. The father hath not lefte me alone, for I do all wayes those thinges that please him.


text:
As he spake these wordes, many beleued on him. Then sayde Iesus to those Iewes, which beleued on him:


text:
They answered him: We be Abrahams seed, and were neuer bonde to eny man: how sayest thou then: ye shalbe made fre?


text:
I knowe that ye are Abrahams seed: but ye seke meanes to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.


text:
I speake that which I haue sene with my father: and ye do that, which ye haue sene with youre father.


text:
They answered and sayde vnto him: Abraham is oure father. Iesus sayeth vnto them: If ye were Abrahams children, ye wolde do the dedes of Abraham.


text:
But now ye go aboute to kyll me, a man that hath tolde you the trueth whych I haue heard of God: this dyd not Abraham.


text:
Ye do the dedes of youre father. Then sayde they to him: we were not borne of fornicacion. We haue one father, euen God.


text:
Iesus sayd vnto them: yf God were youre father, truly ye wolde loue me. For I proceaded forth, and came from God. Nether came I of my selfe, but he sent me:


text:
Ye are of youre father that deuyll, and the lustes of youre father will ye serue. He was a murtherer from the beginninge and abode not in the trueth, because there is no trueth in him. When he speaketh a lye, he speaketh of his awne. For he is a lyar, and the father of the same thing:


text:
Then answered the the Iewes, and sayd vnto him: Saye we not well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast the deuyll?


text:
Then sayd the Iewes vnto him: Now knowe we that thou hast the deuyll. Abraham is deed, and the prophetes, and thou sayest: yf a man kepe my saying, he shal neuer taste of death.


text:
Art thou greater then our father Abraham, which is deed? and the prophetes are deed. Whom makest thou thy selfe?


text:
Iesus answered: If I honoure my selfe, myne honour is nothinge. It is my father that honoureth me, which ye saye, is your God,


text:
& yet ye haue not knowen hym: but I knowe him. And yf I saye, I knowe him not, I shalbe a lyar lyke vnto you. But I knowe him, and kepe his sayinge.


text:
And his discyples asked him sayinge: Master, who dyd synne, this man, or hys father and mother, that he was borne blynd?


text:
Iesus answered: Nether hath this man sinned, nor yet his father and mother: but that the worckes of God shulde be shewed in hym.


text:
I must, worcke the worckes of hym that sent me, whyle it is daye. The nyght commeth, when no man can worcke.


text:
Assone as he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made claye of the spetle, and rubbed the claye on the eyes of the blynde,


text:
& sayd vnto him: Go, wesshe the in the pole of Siloe, which (by interpretacion) is asmoche to saye as, sent. He went his waye therfore, and wasshed, & came agayne, seinge:


text:
So the neyghboures and they that had sene him before (how that he was a begger) said: is not this he that sat and begged?


text:
He answered and sayde: The man that is called Iesus, made claye, and anoynted myne eyes, and sayd vnto me: Go to the pole Siloe, and wasshe. And whan I went & wesshed, I receaued my syght.


text:
Then agayne the pharises also asked hym, howe he had receaued his syght. He sayd vnto them: he put claye vpon myne eyes, and I wasshed, and do se.


text:
Therfore sayd some of the pharises: thys man is not of God, because he kepeth not the Saboth daye. Other sayde: howe can a man that is a synner, do such myracles? And ther was a stryfe amonge them.


text:
They spake vnto the blynde man agayne: What sayst thou of him, because he hath opened thyne eyes? He sayd: He is a prophete.


text:
But the Iewes dyd not beleue of the man (how that he had bene blynde, and receaued hys syght) vntyll they called the father and mother of him that had receaued hys syght.


text:
And they asked them, saying: Is thys youre sonne, whom ye saye was borne blynde? How doth he now se then?


text:
His father and mother answered them, and sayde: we knowe, that thys is oure sonne, and that he was borne blynde:


text:
but by what meanes he nowe seeth, we cannot tell. Or who hath opened his eyes, cannot we tell He is olde ynough, aske him, let hym answere for hym selfe.


text:
Suche wordes spake hys father and mother, because they feared the Iewes. For the Iewes had conspyred all ready, that yf eny man dyd confesse that he was Christ, he shulde be excommunicat out of the synagoge.


text:
Then agayne called they the man that was blynde, and sayd vnto hym: Geue God the prayse: we knowe that thys man is a synner.


text:
He answered therfore, and sayde: Whyther he be a synner or no, I cannot tell. One thynge I am sure of: that where as I was blynde, nowe I se.


text:
He answered them: I tolde you yer whyle, and ye dyd not heare. Wherfore wold ye heare it agayne? Wyll ye also be his disciples?


text:
The man answered, and sayde vnto them: this is a maruelous thing, that ye wote not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened myne eyes.


text:
For we be sure, that God heareth not synners. But yf eny man be a worshipper of God, and obedient vnto his wyl, him heareth he.


text:
They answered, and sayd vnto hym: thou art al together borne in synne, and dost thou teach vs? And they cast him out.


text:
Iesus heard that they had excommunicate hym: and when he had founde hym, he sayde vnto hym: doest thou beleue on the sonne of God?


text:
And Iesus sayd vnto him: I am come vnto iudgement into this worlde: that they which se not, myght se: and that they which se, might be made blynde.


text:
And some of the pharises which were with him, hearde these wordes, and sayd vnto him: are we blynde also?


text:
Iesus sayd vnto them: If ye were blynde, ye shulde haue no synne. But now ye saye: we se, therfore your synne remayneth.


text:
Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: he that entreth not in by the dore into the shepefolde, but clymeth vp some other waye, the same is a thefe and a murthurer.


text:
to hym the porter openeth, & the shepe heare hys voyce, and he calleth his awne shepe by name, and leadeth them out.


text:
And when he hath sent forth his awne shepe, he goeth before them, and the shepe folow him: for they knowe his voyce.


text:
A straunger will they not folowe, but wyll flye from him: for they knowe not the voyce of straungers.


text:
Thys prouerbe spake Iesus vnto them. But they vnderstode not what thinges they were, which he spake vnto them.


text:
I am the dore: by me yf any man entre in, he shalbe safe, and shall go in and out, and fynde pasture.


text:
A thefe commeth not but for to steale, kyll, and to destroye. I am come, that they might haue life, and that they myght haue it more aboundantly.


text:
An hyred seruaunt, and he which is not the shepeherd (nether the shepe are his awne) seeth the wolfe comminge, and leaueth the shepe, and flieth, and the wolfe catcheth, and scattereth the shepe.


text:
& other shepe I haue, which are not of thys fold. Them also must I bring, and they shall heare my voyce, and ther shalbe one fold and one shephearde.


text:
No man taketh it from me: but I put it awaye of my self. I haue power to put it from me, and I haue power to take it agayne. Thys commaundement haue I receaued of my father.


text:
Other sayde: these are not the wordes of him that hath the deuyll. Can the deuyll open the eyes of the blynde?


text:
Then cam the Iewes rounde about him, and sayd vnto him: Howe longe dost thou make vs doute? If thou be Christ, tell vs playnely.


text:
Iesus answered them: I tolde you, and ye beleue not. The worckes that I do in my fathers name, they beare witnesse of me.


text:
and I geue vnto them eternall lyfe, and they shall neuer perissh, nether shall eny man plucke them oute of my hande.


text:
My father which gaue them me, is greater then all, and no man is able to take them oute of my fathers hand.


text:
Iesus answered them: many good worckes haue I shewed you from my father: for which of them do ye stone me?


text:
The Iewes answered him, sayeng: For thy good worckes sake we stone thou not, but for thy blasphemy, and because that thou beynge a man, makest thy selfe God:


text:
concernynge hym whom the father hath sanctifyed, and sent into the worlde) Do ye saye that I blaspheme because I sayde, I am the sonne of God?


text:
But yf I do, and yf ye beleue not me, beleue the worckes: that ye maye knowe and beleue, that the father is in me, and I in him.


text:
& went awaye agayne beyonde Iordan, into the place wher Iohn before had baptysed, and there he abode.


text:
And many resorted vnto him, and sayd: Iohn dyd no myracle, but all thynges that Iohn spake of this man were true.


text:
It was that Mary which anoynted Iesus with oyntment, and wyped his fete wt her hear, whose brother Lazarus was sick.


text:
Whan Iesus herd that, he sayde: this infirmitie is not vnto death: but for the prayse of God, that the sonne of God myght be praysed by the reason of it.


text:
Whan he had heard therfore, that he was sycke, he abode two dayes styll in the same place where he was.


text:
Hys disciples sayde vnto hym: Master, the Iewes lately sought to stone the, and wylt thou go thyther agayne?


text:
Iesus answered: are there not .xij. houres of the daye? If a man walke in the daye, he stombleth not, because he seeth the light of this worlde.


text:
This sayd he, and after that he sayd vnto them: our frende Lazarus slepeth: but I go to wake him out of slep.


text:
and I am glad for your sakes, that I was not there, because ye maye beleue. Neuertheles, let vs go vnto him.


text:
Then sayd Thomas (which is called Dydimus) vnto the disciples: lett vs also go, that we maye dye with hym.


text:
Martha assone as she heard that Iesus was commynge, went and met hym: but Mary sate styll in the house.


text:
Iesus sayth vnto her: I am the resurreccyon and the lyfe: He that beleueth on me, ye though he were deed, yet shall he lyue.


text:
She sayd vnto him: yee Lorde, I beleue that thou art Christ the sonne of God, which shuld come into the world.


text:
And assone as he had so sayde, she wente her waye, & called Mary her syster secretly, saying: The master is come, and calleth for the.


text:
The Iewes then which were with her in the house and comforted her, (when they sawe Mary that she rose vp hastely, and went out) folowed her, saieng: She goeth vnto the graue, to wepe there.


text:
Then when Mary was come wher Iesus was, and sawe hym, she cometh nye vnto his fete, and sayth vnto him: Lorde, yf thou haddest bene here, my brother had not bene deed.


text:
When Iesus therfore sawe her wepe (and the Iewes also weping which came wt her) he groned in the sprete, and was troubled in him selfe,


text:
And som of them sayde: coulde not he which opened the eyes of the blynde, haue made also, that this man shulde not haue dyed?


text:
Iesus therfore agayne groned in him self, and came to the graue. It was a caue, and a stone layde on it.


text:
Iesus sayd: take ye awaye the stone. Martha the sister of him that was deed, sayd vnhym: Lorde, by this tyme he styncketh. For he hath bene deed foure dayes.


text:
Iesus sayeth vnto her: Sayd I not vnto the, that yf thou dydest beleue, thou shuldest se the glorye of God?


text:
Then they toke awaye the stone from the place where he that had bene deed, was layde. And Iesus lyft vp his eyes, and sayd: Father, I thanke the, that thou hast hearde me.


text:
Howbeit, I knewe, that thou hearest me allwayes: but because of the people which stande by. I sayde it, that they maye beleue, that thou hast sent me.


text:
And he that was deed, came forth, bounde hande & fote wt graue clothes, & his face was bound with a napkin. Iesus sayd vnto them: loose him, & let him go.


text:
Then many of the Iewes which came to Mary (and had sene the thynges which Iesus dyd) beleued on hym.


text:
Then gathered the hye prestes & the pharises a councel, & sayd: what do we? For this man doth many miracles.


text:
If we lett hym scape thus, al men will beleue on him, and the Romayns shall come, and take awaye both our rowme and the people.


text:
And one of them named Caiphas (being the hye preste that same yere) sayd vnto them: Ye perceaue nothynge at all, nor consyder,


text:
Thys spake he not of him selfe, but beynge hye preste that same yere, he prophesied that Iesus shulde dye for the people,


text:
and not for the people onely, but that he shuld gather together in one, the children of God, that were scatered abrode.


text:
Iesus therfore walked nomore openly among the Iewes: but went his waye thence vnto a countre nye to a wildernes, into a cytie which is called Ephraim, and there contynued wt his disciples.


text:
And the Iewes Easter was nye at hand, & many went out of the countre vp to Ierusalem before the Easter, to purify them selues.


text:
Then sought they for Iesus, & spake among them selues, as they stode in the temple: What thinke ye, seyng he commeth not to the feaste daye?


text:
The hye prestes and pharises had geuen a commaundement, that yf eny man knewe wher he were, he shuld shewe it, that they myght take him.


text:
Then Iesus (syxe dayes before Easter) came to Bethany, wher Lazarus had ben deed, whome he raysed from death.


text:
Ther they made hym a supper, and Martha serued, but Lazarus was one of them that sate at the table wt him.


text:
Then toke Mary a pound of oyntment (called Nardus, perfecte and precious) and anoynted Iesus fete, and wyped his fete with her hear, & the house was fylled with the odoure of the oyntment.


text:
This he sayd, not that he cared for the pore but because he was a thefe, and had the bagge, & bare that which was geuen.


text:
Moche people of the Iewes therfore had knowledge that he was ther. And they came not for Iesus sake onely, but that they myghte se Lazarus also whom he raysed from death.


text:
On the next daye moch people that were come to the feaste, when they hearde that Iesus shuld come to Ierusalem,


text:
toke braunches of palme trees, and went forth to mete hym, and cryed: Hosanna, blessed is he that in the name of the Lorde, commeth Kyng of Israell.


text:
These thinges vnderstode not his disciples at the fyrst: but when Iesus was glorifyed, then remembred they that soch thinges were wryten of him, and that soche thynges they had done vnto hym.


text:
The people that was with hym (when he called Lazarus out of his graue, and raysed hym from death) bare recorde.


text:
The pharises therfore sayd among them selues: perceaue ye, howe we preuayle nothing? behold, worlde goeth after him.


text:
the same cam therfore to Philip (which was of Bethsaida a cytie in Galile) and desyred hym, saying: Syr, we wolde fayne se Iesus.


text:
Uerely verely, I saye vnto you except the wheat corne fall into the ground, & dye, it bydeth alone. If it dye, it bryngeth forth moch frute.


text:
He that loueth hys lyfe, shall destroye it: and he that hateth hys lyfe in thys world, shal kepe it vnto lyfe eternall.


text:
If eny man mynister vnto me, lett him folowe me: and Where I am, there shall also my minister be. Yf any man mynister vnto me, hym will my father honoure.


text:
Nowe is my soule troubled, and what shall I saye? Father, delyuer me from this houre: but therfore came I vnto thys houre.


text:
Father, glorify thy name. Then cam ther a voyce from heauen, saying: I haue both glorifyed it, & will glorify it agayne.


text:
The people therfore that stode by and heard it, sayde, that it thoundred. Other sayde: an angell spake to hym.


text:
The people answered hym: We haue heard out of the lawe, that Christ bydeth euer, and how sayst thou: the sonne of man must be lyft vp? who is that sonne of man?


text:
Then Iesus sayd vnto them: yet a lytell whyle is the lyght with you. Walke whyle ye haue lyght, lest the darcknes come on you. He that walketh also in the darck, woteth not whyther he goet


text:
Whyle ye haue lyght, beleue on the lyght, that ye maye be the children of the lyght. These thynges spake Iesus, and departed, and hid him self from them.


text:
that the sayinge of Esaias the prophet myght be fulfylled, which he spake: Lord, who shal beleue our saying? And to whom is the arme of the Lorde declared?


text:
he hath blynded their eyes, and hardened their hert, that they shuld not se with their eyes, & lest they shuld vnderstand with their hert, and shuld be conuerted, and I shulde heale them.


text:
Neuertheles, amonge the chefe rulers also, many beleued on hym. But (because of the pharises) they wold not be a knowen of it, lest they shulde be excommunicat.


text:
And yf any man heare my wordes, and beleue not, I iudge him not. For I came not to iudge the world: but to saue the worlde.


text:
He that refuseth me, & receaueth not my wordes, hath one that iudgeth hym. The worde that I haue spoken, the same shal iudge hym in the last daye.


text:
For I haue not spoken of my selfe: but the father which sent me: he gaue me a commaundment, what I shuld saye, & what I shulde speake.


text:
And I knowe that his commaundement is lyfe euerlastinge. Whatsoeuer I speake therfore, euen as the father bade me, so I speake.


text:
Before the feaste of Easter, when Iesus knewe that hys houre was come, that he shuld depart out of this world vnto the father. When he loued his which were in the worlde, vnto the ende he loued them.


text:
And when supper was ended, after that the deuyll had put in the herte of Iudas Iscarioth Simons sonne, to be traye hym.


text:
Iesus knowynge that the father had geuen all thinges into hys handes, and that he was come from God, and went to God:


text:
he rose from supper, and layde asyde his vpper garmentes: and whan he had taken a towell, he gyrded him self.


text:
After that, he powred water into a basyn, and beganne to wash the disciples fete, and to wype them with the towell, wherwith he was gyrded.


text:
Peter sayeth vnto him: thou shalt neuer wasshe my fete. Iesus answered hym: yf I wasshe the not, thou hast no parte with me.


text:
Iesus sayth to hym: he that is wasshed, nedeth not, saue to wasshe his fete, but is cleane euery whyt. And ye are cleane, but not all.


text:
So after he had wasshed their fete, and receaued hys clothes, and was sett downe, he sayde vnto them agayne: wote ye what I haue done to you?


text:
If I then youre lorde and master haue wasshed youre fete, ye also ought to wasshe one anothers fete.


text:
Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: the seruaunte is not greater then his master, nether the messenger greater then he that sent hym.


text:
I speake not of you all, I knowe whom I haue chosen. But that the scripture maye be fulfylled: he that eateth bread with me, hath lyfte vp hys hele against me.


text:
Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: He that receaueth whomsoeuer I sende, receaueth me. And he that receaueth me, receaueth him that sent me.


text:
When Iesus had thus sayd, he was troubled in the sprete, and testifyed and sayd: verely verely, I saye vnto you: that one of you shall be traye me.


text:
Iesus answered: he it is to whom I geue a soppe. And he wet the brede & gaue it to Iudas Iscarioth Simons sonne.


text:
Som of them thought because. Iudas had the bagge, that Iesus had sayd vnto him: bye those thinges that we haue nede of agaynst the feaste: or that he shuld geue some thyng to the poore.


text:
Therfore when he was gone oute. Iesus sayd: Now is the sonne of man glorifyed. And God is gloryfyed by him.


text:
If God be glorifyed by him, God shall also glorify hym by hym selfe: and shall strayght waye gloryfy hym.


text:
Lytle chyldren, yet a lytel whyle am I with you. Ye shall seke me, & as I sayd vnto the Iewes, whyther I goo, thyther can ye not come. Also to you saye I now.


text:
A newe commaundement geue I vnto you, that ye loue together, as I haue loued you, that euen so ye loue one another.


text:
Symon Peter sayd vnto hym: Lorde, whyther goest thou? Iesus answered him: whyther I go, thou canst not folowe me now, but thou shalt folowe me afterwardes.


text:
Iesus answered hym: wylt thou ieoparde thy lyfe for my sake? Uerely verely, I saye vnto the: the cocke shall not crowe, tyll thou haue denyed me thryse.


text:
And he sayde vnto his disciples: lett not your herte be troubled. Ye beleue in God, beleue also in me.


text:
In my fathers house are many mansions: If it were not so, I wolde haue tolde you. I go to prepare a place for you.


text:
And yf I go to prepare a place for you, I will come agayne, and receaue you euen vnto my selfe: that wher I am, ther maye ye be also.


text:
Thomas sayth vnto him: Lord, we knowe not whither thou goest. And how is it possible for vs to knowe the waye?


text:
Iesus sayeth vnto hym: I am the waye and the treuth, and the lyfe. No man cometh vnto the father, but by me.


text:
Iesus sayth vnto hym: haue I bene so longe tyme with you, & yet hast thou not knowen me? Philip, he that hath sene me, hath sene my father. And howe sayest thou then: shewe vs the father?


text:
Beleuest thou not, that I am in the father, & the father in me? The wordes that I speake vnto you, I speake not of my self: but the father that dwelleth in me is he that doth the workes.


text:
Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: he that beleueth on me, the worckes that I do, the same shal he do also, & greater worckes then these shall he do, because I go vnto my father.


text:
& I will praye the father, and he shall geue you another comforter, that he maye bide wt you for euer:


text:
euen the sprete of treuth, whom the world cannot receaue, because the worlde seeth hym not, nether knoweth him. But ye knowe him. For he dwelleth wt you, & shalbe in you.


text:
He that hath my commaundementes, and kepeth them: the same is he that loueth me. And he that loueth me, shalbe loued of my father: and I wyll loue hym, and wyll shewe myne awne selfe to him.


text:
Iudas sayth vnto hym: (not Iudas Iscarioth) Lorde, what is done that thou wylt shewe thy selfe vnto vs, and not vnto the world?


text:
Iesus answered & sayd: vnto them: yf a man loue me, he will kepe my sayinges, and my father wyll loue hym, and we wyll come vnto hym, and dwell wt hym.


text:
He that loueth me not, kepeth not my sayinges. And the worde which ye heare, is not myne, but the fathers which sent me.


text:
But the comforter which is the holy ghost whom my father wil sende in my name, he shal teach you all thinges, & bryng all thinges to your remembraunce whatsoeuer I haue sayd vnto you.


text:
Peace I leaue with you, my peace I geue vnto you. Not as the world geueth, geue I vnto you. Let not youre hertes be greued, nether feare.


text:
Ye haue hearde howe I sayde vnto you: I go, and come agayne vnto you. If ye loued me, ye wolde verely reioyse, because I sayd: I go vnto the father, for the father is greater then I.


text:
Here after wyll I not talke many wordes vnto you. For the prince of this worlde commeth, and hath naught in me.


text:
But that the worlde maye knowe that I loue the father. And as the father gaue me commaundment, euen so do I. Ryse, let vs go hence.


text:
Euery braunche that beareth not frute in me, he will take awaye. And euery braunche that beareth frute, will he pourge, that it maye bring forth more frute.


text:
Byde in me, and I in you. As the braunche cannot beare frute of it selfe, excepte it byde in the vyne: nomore can ye, except ye abyde in me.


text:
I am the vyne, ye are the braunches. He that abydeth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth moche frute. For without me can ye do nothing.


text:
If a man byde not in me, he is cast forth as a braunche, & is wythered: and men gather them: and cast them into the fyre, and they burne.


text:
If ye kepe my commaundementes, ye shall byde in my loue, euen as I haue kepte my fathers commaundementes, & byde in hys loue.


text:
These thynges haue I spoken vnto you, that my ioye myghte remayne vnto you, and that youre ioye myght be full.


text:
Hence forth call I you not seruauntes: for the seruaunt knoweth not what hys lorde doeth. But you haue I called frendes: for all thynges that I haue heard of my father, haue I opened to you.


text:
Ye haue not chosen me, but I haue chosen you, and ordeyned you, to goo, and brynge forth frute, and that your frute shuld remayne, that whatsoeuer ye aske of the father in my name, he maye geue it you.


text:
If ye were of the worlde, the worlde wolde loue his awne. Howbeit, because ye are not of the world. But I haue chosen you out of the world therfore the world hateth you.


text:
Remember the worde that I sayd vnto you: the seruaunt is not greater then the lorde. If they haue persecuted me, they wyll also persecute you. If they haue kept my saying, they will kepe youres also.


text:
But all these thinges wyll they do vnto you for my names sake, because they haue not knowen hym that sent me.


text:
If I had not come and spoken vnto them, they shuld haue had no synne: but now haue they nothyng to cloke their synne withall.


text:
If I had not done amonge them the workes whych none other man dyd, they shuld haue had no synne. But now haue they both sene, & hated: not onely me but also my father.


text:
But thys happeneth that the sayinge myght be fulfylled, that is writen in their lawe: they hated me without a cause.


text:
But when the comforter is come, whom I will sende vnto you from the father (euen the sprete of treuth, which proceadeth of the father) he shall testifye of me.


text:
They shall excommunicat you: ye the tyme shall come, that whosoeuer kylleth you, will thinke that he doth God seruyce.


text:
But these thinges haue I tolde you, that when the tyme is come, ye maye remember then that I tolde you. These thynges sayde I not vnto you at the begynninge, because I was present with you.


text:
Neuertheles, I tel you the treuth, it is expedient for you, that I goo awaye. For yf I goo not awaye, that comforter wyll not come vnto you. But yf I departe, I wyll sende hym vnto you.


text:
Howbeit when he is come (which is the sprete of treuth) he will leade you into all treuthe. He shall not speake of hym selfe: but whatsoeuer he shall heare, that shall he speake, and he will shewe you thinges to come.


text:
All thynges that the father hath, are myne. Therfore sayde I vnto you, that he shall take of myne and shewe vnto you.


text:
Then sayde some of hys discyples betwene them selues: what is thys that he saith vnto vs, after a while, ye shall not se me, and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: and that I go to the father?


text:
Iesus perceaued, that they wolde aske him, and sayde vnto them. Ye enquire of this betwene your selues, because I sayde after a whyle ye shal not se me, & agayne after a whyle ye shall se me.


text:
Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: ye shall wepe and lamente, but contrary wyse, the world shall reioyse. Ye shall sorowe, but yor sorowe shalbe turned to ioye.


text:
A woman when she trauaileth, hath sorowe, because her houre is come: but assone as she is deliuered of the childe, she remembreth nomore the anguisshe, for ioye that a man is borne into the worlde.


text:
And ye now therfore haue sorowe: but I will se you agayne, and your hertes shall reioyse, and your ioye shal no man take from you.


text:
And in the daye shall ye aske me no question. Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: whatsoeuer ye shall aske the father in my name, he wyll geue it you.


text:
Hytherto haue ye asked nothynge in my name. Aske, and ye shall receaue: that youre ioye maye be full.


text:
These thinges haue I spoken vnto you by prouerbes. The tyme will come, when I shal nomore speake vnto you by prouerbes: but I shall shewe you playnely from my father.


text:
At that daye shall ye aske in my name. And I saye not vnto you that I will speake vnto my father for you.


text:
For the father him selfe loueth you, because ye haue loued me, and haue beleued, that I came out from God.


text:
I went out from the father, and came into the worlde. Agayne, I leaue the worlde, and go to the father.


text:
Nowe are we sure, that thou knowest all thinges, and nedest not, that eny man shulde aske the any question. Therfore beleue we, that thou camest from God.


text:
Behold, the houre draweth nye, and is all ready come, that ye shalbe scatered euery man to his awne, & shal leaue me alone. And yet am I not alone. For the father is with me.


text:
These wordes haue I spoken vnto you, that in me ye myghte haue peace. For in the worlde shall ye haue tribulacyon: but be of good chere, I haue ouercome the worlde.


text:
These wordes spake Iesus, and lift vp his eyes to heauen, and sayde: father, the houre is come: glorify thy sonne that thy sonne also maye glorify the:


text:
as thou hast geuen him power ouer all flesh, that he shuld geue eternall lyfe to as many as thou hast geuen him.


text:
This is lyfe eternal, that they might knowe the, the onely true God, & Iesus Christ whom thou hast sent.


text:
And now glorifye thou me (O father) with thyne awne self, with the glory, which I had with the, yer the worlde was.


text:
I haue declared thy name vnto the men, which thou gauest me out of the world. Thyne they were, and thou gauest them me, and they haue kept thy worde.


text:
For I haue geuen vnto them the wordes which thou gauest me, and they haue receaued them, and haue knowen surely, that I came out from the: and they haue beleued, that thou diddest send me.


text:
I praye for them, I praye not for the world: but for them which thou hast geuen me, for they are thyne.


text:
And now I am not in the worlde, and they are in the worlde, and I come to the. Holy father, kepe thorow thine awne name, them which thou hast geuen me, that they also maye be one, as we are.


text:
Whyle I was with them in the world, I kepte them in thy name. Those that thou gauest me, haue I kepte, and none of them is lost, but that lost childe, that the scripture might be fulfilled.


text:
I haue geuen them thy worde, and the worlde hath hated them, because they are not of the world, euen as I also am not of the world.


text:
Neuertheles, I praye not for them alone, but for them also which shall beleue on me thorow their preaching:


text:
that they al maye be one, as thou father art in me, and I in the, and that they also maye be one in vs: that the worlde maye beleue, that thou hast sent me:


text:
I in them, and thou in me, that they maye be made parfecte in one, & that the worlde maye knowe, that thou hast sent me, and hast loued them as thou hast loued me.


text:
Father, I will that they which thou hast geuen me be with me where I am, that they maye se my glory, which thou hast geuen me. For thou louedest me before the makyng of the worlde.


text:
O righteous father, the worlde also hath not knowen the: but I haue knowen the: and these haue knowen, that thou hast sent me.


text:
And I haue declared vnto them thy name, and will declare it, that the loue wherwith thou hast loued me, maye be in them, & I in them.


text:
When Iesus had spoken these wordes, he went forth with hys discyples ouer the broke Cedron, wher was a garden, into the which he entred and hys disciples.


text:
Iudas also which betrayed him, knewe the place: for Iesus ofte tymes resorted thyther wt his discyples.


text:
Iudas then after he had receaued a bonde of men, (and mynysters of the hye Prestes & Pharyses) came thyther with lanternes, and fyerbrandes, and wepens.


text:
And Iesus knowyng all thynges that shulde come on hym, went forth, and sayde vnto them: whom seke ye?


text:
They answered him: Iesus of Nazareth. Iesus sayeth vnto them: I am he. Iudas also which betrayed hym, stode with them.


text:
That the saying might be fulfylled which he spake: of them which thou gauest me, haue I not lost one.


text:
Then Simon Peter hauynge a swearde, drue it, and smote the hye prestes seruaunt, and cut of hys ryght eare. The seruauntes name was Malchus.


text:
Therfore sayeth Iesus vnto Peter: put vp thy swearde into the sheath: shall I not dryncke of the cup, which my father hath geuen me?


text:
and led him awaye to Anna fyrst: for he was father in lawe vnto Cayphas, which was the hye Preste that same yere.


text:
Cayphas was he, which gaue counsell to the Iewes that it was expedient, that one man shulde dye for the people.


text:
And Symon Peter folowed Iesus, and so dyd another dyscyple: that dyscyple was knowen vnto the hye preste, & went in with Iesus into the palace of the hye Preste.


text:
But Peter stode at the dore without. Thent went out that other discyple (which was knowen vnto the hye preste) and spake to the damsell that kept the dore, and brought in Peter.


text:
Then sayde the damsell that kept the dore, vnto Peter. Art not thou also one of this mannes dyscyples? He sayde: I am not.


text:
The seruauntes and the ministers stode there, which had made a fyer of coles: for it was colde, and they warmed them selues. Peter also stode amonge them, and warmed hym.


text:
Iesus answered hym: I spake openly in the worlde. I euer taught in the Synagoge, and in the temple, whyther all the Iewes resorte, and in secret haue I sayde nothyng.


text:
Why askest thou me? Aske them which hearde me, what I haue sayd vnto them. Beholde, they can tell what I sayde.


text:
When he had thus spoken, one of the ministers which stode by, smote Iesus on the face, sayinge: answerest thou the hye preaste so?


text:
Iesus answered hym: If I haue euyll spoken, beare witnes of the euyll: But yf I haue well spoken, why smytest thou me?


text:
Symon Peter stode, and warmed him selfe Then sayde they vnto hym: art not thou also one of hys dyscyples? He denyed it, & sayde: I am not.


text:
One of the seruauntes of the hye prestes (hys cosyn whose eare Peter smote of) sayde vnto hym: dyd not I se the in the garden with him?


text:
Then led they Iesus from Cayphas into the hall of iudgement. It was in the mornynge, & they them selues went not into the iudgement hall lest they shulde be defyled, but that they myght eate Passeouer.


text:
They answered and sayde vnto him: If he were not an euyll doar we wolde not haue delyuered him vnto the.


text:
Then sayde Pylate vnto them take ye hym, & iudge him after youre awne lawe. The Iewes therfore sayd vnto him: It is not lawfull for vs to put eny man to deeth.


text:
Then Pylate entred into the iudgement hall agayne, and called Iesus, and sayde vnto hym: art thou the kynge of the Iewes?


text:
Pylate answered: Am I a Iewe? Thyne awne nacion and hye prestes haue delyuered the vnto me. What hast thou done?


text:
Iesus answered: my kyngdome is not of this worlde. Yf my kyngdome were of this worlde, then wolde my mynysters suerly fyght, that I shulde not be delyuered to the Iewes, but now is my kyngdome not from hence.


text:
Pylate therfore sayde vnto him. Art thou a kyng then? Iesus answered: thou sayst that I am a kyng. For this cause was I borne, & for this cause came I into the worlde, that I shulde beare witnes vnto the trueth. And all that are of the trueth, heare my voyce.


text:
Pylate sayde vnto him, what thynge is trueth? And when he had sayde this, he went out agayne vnto the Iewes, and sayeth vnto them. I fynde in him no cause at all.


text:
Ye haue a custome, that I shulde deliuer you one loose at Easter. Wyll ye that I lose vnto you the kynge of the Iewes?


text:
And the soudiers wounde a croune of thornes, and put it on hys heed. And they dyd on him a purple garment,


text:
Pylate went forth agayne, and sayde vnto them: beholde, I brynge hym forth to you, that ye maye know, that I fynde no faute in hym.


text:
Then came Iesus forth, wearynge a croune of thorne, and a robe of purple. And he sayeth vnto them: beholde the man.


text:
When the hye Prestes therfore and ministers sawe hym, they cryed sayinge: crucify him, crucify hym. Pylate sayeth vnto them: Take ye him, and crucify him: for I fynde no cause in him.


text:
The Iewes answered him: We haue a lawe, and by oure lawe he ought to dye: because he made him selfe the sonne of God.


text:
and went agayne into the iudgement hall, and sayeth vnto Iesus: whence arte thou? But Iesus gaue him none answere.


text:
Then sayde Pylate vnto him: Speakest thou not vnto me? Knowest thou not, that I haue power to crucify the, and haue power to loose the?


text:
Iesus answered: Thou couldest haue no power at all agaynst me, except it were geuen the from aboue. Therfore he that delyuered me vnto the, hath the more synne.


text:
And from thence forth sought Pylate meanes to loose hym: but the Iewes cryed sayinge: yf thou let him go, thou art not Cesars frende. For whosoeuer maketh hym selfe a kynge, is agaynst Cesar.


text:
When Pylate hearde that sayinge, he brought Iesus forth, and sate downe to geue sentence, in a place that is called the pauement: but in the Hebrue tonge, Gabbatha.


text:
It was the preparyng daye of the easter, aboute the syxte houre. And he sayeth vnto the Iewes: beholde youre king?


text:
They cryed, awaye wt him, awaye wt him, crucifye him. Pylate saieth vnto them: shall I crucifye your kyng? The hye prestes answered: we haue no kyng but Cesar.


text:
And he bare hys crosse, and went forth into a place, which is called the place of deed mens sculles. But in Hebrue, Golgotha:


text:
And Pylate wrote a tytle, & put it on the crosse. The wrytynge was. Iesus of Nazareth kynge of the Iewes.


text:
Thys tytle redd many of the Iewes. For the place where Iesus was crucyfyed, was nye to the cytye. And it was wrytten in Hebrue, and Greke and Latyn.


text:
Then sayde the hye prestes of the Iewes to Pylate: wrytte not kynge of the Iewes, but that he sayde, I am kynge of the Iewes:


text:
Then the soudiers, when they had crucifyed Iesus, they toke his garmentes & made foure partes, to euery soudier a parte, & also hys coate. The coate was without seme, wrought vpon thorowe out.


text:
They sayd therfore amonge them selues: Lett vs not deuyde it, but cast lotes for it, who shall haue it. That the scrypture myght be fulfylled, sayinge: They parted my rayment amonge them, and for my coate dyd they cast lotes. And the soudiers dyd soch thynges in dede.


text:
There stode by the crosse of Iesus hys mother, and his mothers syster, Mary the wyfe of Cleophas, & Mary Magdalene.


text:
When Iesus therfore sawe his mother, & the disciple stondinge whom he loued, he sayeth vnto his mother: woman: beholde thy sonne.


text:
Then sayde he to the disciple: beholde thy mother. And from that houre the disciple toke her for hys awne.


text:
After these thinges, Iesus knowinge that all thinges were now performed: that the scripture myght be fulfylled: he sayeth: I thyrst


text:
So ther stode a vessel by, full of veneger. Therfore they fylled a sponge with veneger and wounde it about with ysope, and put it to his mouth.


text:
Assone as Iesus then receaued of the veneger, he sayde. It is fynisshed, & bowed his heed, and gaue vp the goost.


text:
The Iewes therfore because it was the preparing of the Sabboth, that the bodyes shuld not remayne vpon the crosse on the sabboth daye (for that sabboth daye was an hye daye) besought Pilate, that their legges might be broken and that they might be taken downe.


text:
Then came the soudiers, and brake the legges of the fyrst, and of the other which was crucyfied with him.


text:
but one of the soudiers wt a speare, thrust him into the syde, and forth with came ther out bloude and water.


text:
And he that sawe it, bare recorde, & hys record is true. And he knoweth that he sayth true, that ye might beleue also.


text:
For these thinges were done, that the scripture shulde be fulfylled. Ye shall not breake a bone of him.


text:
After this, Ioseph of Aramathia (which was a disciple of Iesus: but secretly for feare of the Iewes) besought Pilate, that he might take downe the body of Iesus. And Pilate gaue him licence.


text:
And ther cam also Nicodemus (which at the begynnynge came to Iesus by night) & brought of myrre and aloes mingled together, aboute an hundred pounde wayght.


text:
Then toke they the body of Iesu, & wounde it in lynnen clothes wt the odoures, as the maner of the Iewes is to bury.


text:
And in the place where he was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a newe sepulchre, wherin was neuer man layd.


text:
There layde they Iesus therfore, because of the preparinge of the Sabboth of the Iewes for the sepulchre was nye at hande.


text:
The fyrst daye of the Sabbothes cam Mary Magdalene early (when it was yet darcke) vnto the sepulchre, and sawe the stone taken awaye from the graue.


text:
Then she ranne, and came to Symon Peter, and to the other dyscyple whom Iesus loued, and sayeth vnto them. They haue taken awaye the Lorde out of the graue, & we cannot tell where they haue layde him.


text:
& the napkin that was aboute his heed, not lyinge wt the lynnen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by it selfe.


text:
Mary stode without at the sepulcre wepinge. So as she wepte, she bowed her selfe into the sepulchre,


text:
& seeth two angels clothed in whyte, sytting, the one at the heed & the other at the fete, where they had layde the body of Iesus.


text:
They saye vnto her, woman, why wepest thou? She sayeth vnto them: for they haue taken awaye my Lord, & I wote not where they haue layde him.


text:
When she had thus sayd, she turned her selfe backe, & sawe Iesus standinge, and knewe not that it was Iesus:


text:
Iesus sayeth vnto her: woman, why wepest thou? Whom sekest thou? She supposing that he had bene a gardener, sayeth vnto him. Syr: yf thou haue borne him hence, tell me wher thou hast layde him, and I wyll fet him.


text:
Iesus sayeth vnto her. Mary. She turned her selfe, & sayd vnto hym: Rabboni, which is to saye, master.


text:
Iesus sayeth vnto her, touche me not, for I am not yet ascended to my father. But go to my brethren, & saye vnto them? I ascende vnto my father & youre father: & to my God, & youre God.


text:
Mary Magdalene came & tolde the disciples, that she had sene the Lorde, and that he had spoken soch thinges vnto her.


text:
The same daye at night: which was the fyrst daye of the Sabothes, when the dores were shut (where the disciples were assembled together for feare of the Iewes) came Iesus, and stode in the myddes, & saieth vnto them: peace be vnto you.


text:
And when he had so sayde, he shewed vnto them his handes, & his syde. Then were the disciples glad when they sawe the Lord.


text:
And when he had sayd those wordes, he brethed on them and sayeth vnto them: Receaue ye the holy goost.


text:
Whosoeuers synnes ye remitte, they are remitted vnto them. And whosoeuers synnes ye retayne, they are retayned.


text:
The other disciples therfore sayde vnto him: we haue sene the Lorde. But he sayde vnto them: except I se in hys handes the prynt of the nayles, & put my fynger in to the prynte of the nayles, & thrust my hande into his syde, I will not beleue.


text:
And after .viij. dayes, agayne his disciples were wt in, & Thomas wt them. Then came Iesus when the dores were shut, & stode in the myddes, and sayde: peace be vnto you.


text:
After that sayd he to Thomas: bringe thy fynger hether, & se my handes, & reach hyther thy hande, & thrust it into my syde, & be not faythlesse, but beleuinge.


text:
Iesus sayeth vnto him: Thomas, because thou hast sene me, thou hast beleued, blessed are they that haue not sene, and yet haue beleued.


text:
And many other sygnes truly dyd Iesus in the presence of his discyples, which are not wrytten in this boke.


text:
These are written, that ye myght beleue, that Iesus is Chryst the sonne of God, and that (in beleuyng) ye myght haue lyfe thorow hys name.


text:
After warde dyd Iesus shewe hym selfe agayne, at the see of Tyberias. And on this wyse shewed he him selfe


text:
There were together Symon Peter & Thomas (which is called Didymus) and Nathanael of Cana in Galile, and the sonnes of Zebeddei, and two other of hys disciples.


text:
Simon Peter sayeth vnto them: I wyll go a fisshinge. They saye vnto him: we also wyll go with the. They went theyr waye & entred into a shyppe immediatly, & that night caught they nothinge.


text:
But when the mornynge was now come, Iesus stode on the shore: neuerthelesse the disciples knewe not that it was Iesus.


text:
And he saieth vnto them: cast out the net on the ryght syde of the ship, & ye shall fynde. They cast out therfore, and anone they were not hable to drawe it for the multitude of fysshes.


text:
Then sayde the disciple whom Iesus loued vnto Peter: It is the Lord: When Symon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he gyrde his coate vnto him (for he was naked) & sprange into the see.


text:
The other disciples came by shyp for they were not farre from lande, but as yt were two hondred cubites, & they drewe the net wt fisshes.


text:
Symon Peter went vp, & drewe the net to londe full of great fysshes, an hondred & .liij. And for all ther were so many, yet was not the net broken.


text:
Iesus sayeth vnto them: come & dyne. And none of the discyples durst aske him: what art thou? For they knewe that it was the Lorde.


text:
This is nowe the thyrde tyme that Iesus appeared to hys discyples, after that he was rysed agayne from deeth.


text:
So when they had dyned, Iesus sayeth to Simon Peter: Symon Ioanna, louest thou me more then these? He sayd vnto him: ye Lord, thou knowest, that I loue the. He sayeth vnto him: fede my lambes.


text:
He sayeth to him agayne the seconde tyme: Symon Ioanna, louest thou me? He saieth vnto him. Yee Lord, thou knowest that I loue the. He sayde vnto him: fede my shepe.


text:
He sayde vnto him the thyrde tyme: Symon Ioanna, louest thou me? Peter was sory, because he sayde vnto hym the thyrde tyme: louest thou me, and he sayde vnto hym: Lord, thou knowest all thinges, thou knowest that I loue the, Iesus saieth vnto him: fede my shepe.


text:
Uerely, verely, I saye vnto the: when thou wast yong, thou gerdedst thy selfe, and walkedst whither thou woldest: but when thou art olde, thou shalt stretche forth thy handes, & another shall gyrde the, & leade the whyther thou woldest not.


text:
That spake he, sygnyfyinge, by what death he shuld glorifye God. And when he had spoken thys, he sayeth vnto him: folowe me.


text:
Peter turned about, and sawe the disciple whom Iesus loued, folowynge (which also leaned on hys brest at supper, and sayde: Lord, which is he that betrayeth the?)


text:
Then went thys sayinge abroade among the brethren, that the discyple shulde not dye. Yet Iesus sayde not to hym, he shall not dye: but yf I wyll that he tary tyll I come, what is that to the?


text:
The same dyscyple is he, which testifieth of these thynges, and wrote these thynges. And we knowe, that hys testimony is true.


text:
There are also many other thynges which Iesus dyd, the which yf they shulde be wrytten euery one, I suppose the worlde coulde not contayne the bokes that shulde be wrytten.


text:
In the former treatyse (Deare Theophylus) we haue spoken of all that Iesus beganne to do and teache,


text:
vntyll the daye in which he was taken vp, after that he, thorow the holy goost, had geuen commaundementes vnto the Apostles, whom he had chosen:


text:
to whom also he shewed hym selfe alyue after hys passion (and that by many tokens) appearynge vnto them fourtye dayes, and speakynge of the kyngdome of God,


text:
and gathered them together, and commaunded them, that they shulde not departe from Ierusalem: but to wayte for the promys of the father wherof (sayeth he) ye haue hearde of me.


text:
For Iohn truly baptysed with water, but ye shalbe baptysed with the holy goost after these feawe dayes.


text:
When they therfore were come together, they asked of him, sayinge: Lorde, wilt thou at this tyme, restore agayne the kyngdome to Israel?


text:
And he sayde vnto them: It is not for you to knowe the tymes, or the seasons, which the father hath put in his awne power:


text:
but ye shal receaue power after that the holy goost is come vpon you. And ye shalbe witnesses vnto me not onely in Ierusalem, but also in all Iewry and in Samary, and euen vnto the worldes ende.


text:
And when he had spoken these thynges, whyle they beheld, he was taken vp an hye, & a cloude receaued him vp out of their sight.


text:
And while they looked stedfastly vp towarde heauen, as he went, beholde, two men stode by them in whyte apparell,


text:
which also sayd: ye men of Galile, why stande ye gasynge vp into heauen? This same Iesus which is taken vp from you into heauen, shall so come, euen as ye haue sene him go into heauen.


text:
Then returned they vnto Ierusalem from the mount (that is called Olyuete) which is from Ierusalem, a Saboth dayes iorney.


text:
And when they were come in, they went vp into a parler, where aboade both Peter and Iames, and Iohn and Andrew, Philip & Thomas, Barthelemew and Mathew, Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Iudas the brother of Iames.


text:
These all contynued with one accorde in prayer and supplicacyon with the wemen & Mary the mother of Iesu, and with hys brethren.


text:
And in those dayes Peter stode vp in the myddes of the discyples, and sayde (the nombre of names that were together, were aboute an hundred and twentye.)


text:
Ye men & brethren, thys scripture must haue nedes ben fulfylled, which the holy goost thorowe the mouth of Dauid spake before of Iudas, which was gyde to them that toke Iesus.


text:
And the same hath now possessed a plat of grounde with the rewarde of iniquite: and when he was hanged, he burst a sondre in the myddes, and all his bowels gusshed out.


text:
And it is knowen vnto all the inhabiters of Ierusalem: in so moch that the same felde is called in their mother tonge, Acheldama, that is to saye, the bloude felde.


text:
For it is wrytten in the boke of Psalmes: hys habitacyon be voyde, and no man be dwellynge therin: and his Bysshoprycke let another take.


text:
Wherfore of these men which haue companyed with vs (all the tyme that the Lorde Iesus had all hys conuersacyon amonge vs,


text:
begynnynge at the baptyme of Iohn, vnto that same daye that he was taken vp from vs) must one be ordeyned, to be a witnes with vs of hys resurreccyon.


text:
And whan they prayed they sayde: thou Lorde, which knowest the hertes of all men, shewe whether of these two thou hast chosen:


text:
that he maye take the roume of thys ministracyon and Apostleshypp, from which Iudas by transgressyon fell, that he myght go to hys awne place.


text:
And they gaue forth their lottes, and the lot fel on Mathias, and he was counted with the eleuen Apostles.


text:
And sodenly ther came a sounde from heauen, as it had bene the commynge of a myghty wynde, and it fylled all the house where they sate.


text:
And there appered vnto them clouen tonges, lyke as they had bene of fyer, and it sate vpon eache one of them:


text:
and they were all fylled with the holy goost, and beganne to speake with other tonges, euen as the same sprete gaue them vtteraunce.


text:
Ther were dwellyng at Ierusalem, Iewes, deuoute men, out of euery nacyon of them that are vnder heauen.


text:
When thys was noysed aboute, the multitude came together, & were astonnyed, because that euery man hearde them speake with his awne langage.


text:
They wondred all, and marueyled, sayinge among them selues: beholde, are not all these which speake, of Galile?


text:
Parthians, and Medes and Elamytes, and the inhabiters of Mesopotamia, and of Iury, and of Capadocia, of Ponthus and Asia,


text:
Phrygia, and Pamphilia, of Egypte, and of the partyes of Lybia which is besyd? Syren, and straungers of Rome, Iewes & Proselites.


text:
But Peter stepped forth with the eleuen, and lyft vp his voyce, and sayde vnto them: Ye men of Iewrye, and all ye that dwell at Ierusalem: be this knowen vnto you, & with youre eares heare my wordes.


text:
And it shalbe in the last dayes, sayth God: of my sprete I wyll poore out vpon all flesshe. And youre sonnes & youre daughters shall prophesy, and youre yonge men shall se vysyons, and youre olde men shall dreame dreames.


text:
And on my seruauntes, & on my hande maydens I wyll poore out of my sprete in those dayes, and they shall prophesye.


text:
And I wyll shewe wonders in heauen aboue, and tokens in the erth beneth, bloud and fyre and the vapour of smoke.


text:
The sunne shalbe turned into darcknes, & the moone into bloude, before that great and notable daye of the Lorde come.


text:
Ye men of Israel, heare these wordes: Iesus of Nazareth a man aproued of God amonge you with myracles, wonders and sygnes, which God dyd by hym in the myddes of you (as ye youre selues knowe)


text:
hym haue ye taken by the handes of vnryghtewes persones, after he was delyuered by the determinat counsell & foreknowledge of God, & haue crucifyed and slayne him:


text:
whom God hath raysed vp, & loosed the sorowes of deeth, because it was vnpossible, that he shulde be holden of it.


text:
For Dauid speaketh of him. A fore hande I sawe God alwayes before me: for he is on my ryght hande, that I shulde not be moued.


text:
Ye men and brethren, let me frely speake vnto you of the patriarke Dauid: For he is both deed and buryed, and hys sepulchre remayneth with vs vnto this daye.


text:
Therfore, seinge he was a Prophet, and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him, that Christ (as concerninge the flessh) shulde come of the frute of his loynes, and on hys seat,


text:
he knowyng this before, spake of the resurreccyon of Chryst, that his soule shulde not be left in hell: nether hys flesshe shulde se corrupcyon.


text:
Sence now that he by the ryght hande of God exalted is, and hath receaued of the father the promyse of the holy Goost, he hath sheed forth thys which ye now se and heare.


text:
For Dauid is not ascendyd into heuen: but he sayeth: The Lord sayde to my Lorde: syt thou on my ryght hand,


text:
So therfore, let all the house of Israel knowe for a suerty, that God hath made that same Iesus (whom ye haue crucified) Lorde and Chryst.


text:
When they hearde this, they were pricked in their hertes, and sayd vnto Peter, & vnto the other Apostles: Ye men & brethren what shall we do?


text:
Peter sayde vnto them: repent of youre synnes, and be baptysed euery one of you in the name of Iesus Chryst for the remission of synnes, and ye shall receaue the gyfte of the holy goost.


text:
For the promyse was made vnto you and to youre chyldren, and to all that are a farre of, euen as many as the Lorde oure God shall call.


text:
And with many other wordes bare he witnes, and exhorted them, sayinge: Saue youre selues from this vntowarde generacion.


text:
Then they that gladly receaued his preachinge, were baptised: and the same daye, ther were added vnto them aboute thre thousande soules.


text:
And they continued dayly with one accorde in the temple, & brake bread from house to house, & dyd eate their meate together, wt gladnes & singlenes of hert,


text:
praysinge God, and had fauour with all the people. And the Lorde added to the congregacion dayly, soch as shulde be saued.


text:
And a certayne man that was halt from hys mothers wombe, was brought, whom they layde daylie at the gate of the temple (which is called bewtyfull) to aske almes of them that entred into the temple.


text:
Then sayde Peter: Syluer and golde haue I none such as I haue, geue I the. In the name of Iesus Chryst of Nazareth, ryse vp and walke.


text:
And he toke hym by the ryght hand, and lyfte hym vp. And immediatly hys fete and anclebones receaued strength.


text:
And he sprange, stode, and walked, and entred with them into the temple, walkynge, and leapynge, and praysynge God.


text:
And they knewe hym, that it was he, which sate and begged at the beutyfull gate of the temple. And they wondred and were sore astonyed at that which had happened vnto hym.


text:
And as the halt which was healed, helde Peter and Iohn, all the people ranne amased vnto them in the porche that is called Salomons.


text:
When Peter sawe that, he answered vnto the people. Ye men of Isral, why maruayle ye at this, or why loke ye so on vs, as though by oure awne power or strength we had made thys man go?


text:
The God of Abraham, and of Isaac and of Iacob, the God of oure fathers hath glorified hys sonne Iesus, whom ye delyuered, and denyed in the presence of Pylate, when he had iudged hym to be loosed.


text:
And hys name thorowe the fayth of his name, hath made this man sound, whom ye se and knowe. And the fayth which is by hym, hath geuen to hym thys health in the presence of you all.


text:
But God (which before had shewed, by the mouth of all hys Prophetes, howe that Chryst shuld suffre) hath thus wyse fulfylled.


text:
Let it repente you therfore, and conuerte, that youre synnes maye be done awaye when the tyme of refresshynge commeth, which we shall haue of the presence of the Lorde,


text:
which must receaue heauen vntyll the tyme that all thynges, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all hys holy Prophetes sence the worlde began, be restored agayne.


text:
Moses trulye sayde vnto the fathers: a Prophet shall the Lorde youre God rayse vp vnto you, euen of youre brethren lyke vnto me: him shall ye heare, in all thynges whatsoeuer he shall saye vnto you.


text:
For the tyme wyll come, that euery soule which wyll not heare that same Prophet, shalbe destroyed from amonge the people.


text:
All the Prophetes also from Samuel and thence forth (as many as haue spoken) haue in lyke wyse tolde of these dayes.


text:
Ye are the chyldren of the Prophetes, and of the couenaunt, which God made vnto oure fathers, sayinge to Abraham: Euen in thy seede shal all the kynredes of the earth be blessed.


text:
Fyrst whan God had raysed vp hys sonne Iesus vnto you, he sent him to blesse you, that euery one of you shulde turne from his wyckednes.


text:
As they spake vnto the people, the prestes and the rulars of the temple, and the Saduces, came vpon them,


text:
takyng it greuously, that they taught the people, and preached in Iesus the resurreccyon from deeth.


text:
And they layde handes on them, and put them in holde vntyll the nexte daye: for it was now euentyde.


text:
Howbeit many of them which hearde the wordes beleued, and the nombre of the men was aboute fyue thousande.


text:
(and Annas the chefe Prest, and Cayphas, and Iohn, and Alexander, & as many as were of the kynred of the hye Prestes) gathered together at Ierusalem.


text:
yf we this daye be examined of the good dede that we haue done to the sycke man by what meanes he is made whoale:


text:
be it knowen vnto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Iesus Chryst of Nazareth, whom ye crucyfyed, whom God raysed agayne from deeth: euen by him doth this man stande here present before you whoale.


text:
Nether is there saluacyon in eny other. For amonge men vnder heauen there is geuen none other name, wherin we must be saued.


text:
When they sawe the boldnes of Peter and Iohn, and vnderstode that they were vnlerned and laye men, they marueyled, and they knewe them, that they had bene with Iesu:


text:
and beholdynge also the man (which was healed) standynge with them, they coulde not saye agaynst it:


text:
sayinge: what shall we do to these men? For a manifest sygne is done by them, and is openly knowen to all them that dwell in Ierusalem, and we cannot denye it.


text:
But that it be noysed no farther amonge the people, let vs threaten and charge them, that they speake hence forth to no man in thys name.


text:
And they called them, and commaunded them, that in no wyse they shulde speake ner teach in the name of Iesu.


text:
But Peter & Iohn answered and sayde vnto them: whether it be ryght in the sight of God, to herken vnto you more then to God, iudge ye.


text:
So threatened they them, and let them go, and founde nothynge howe to punysshe them, because of the people. For all men praysed God because of that which was done:


text:
Assone as they were let go, they came to theyr felowes, and shewed all that the hye Prestes and elders had sayde.


text:
And when they hearde that, they lyfte vp their voyces to God with one accorde, and sayde: Lorde, thou art God, which hast made heauen and erth, the see, & all that in them is,


text:
which by the mouth of thy seruaunt Dauid hast sayd: Why dyd the hethen rage, and the people ymagen vayne thynges?


text:
The kynges of the erth stode vp, and the rulars came together, agaynst the Lorde and agaynst hys anoynted.


text:
For of a trueth, agaynst thy holy chylde Iesus (whom thou hast anoynted) both Herode and also Poncius Pylate, which the Gentyls and the people of Israel, gathered them selues together


text:
And now Lorde, beholde their threatenynges, and graunte vnto thy seruauntes, that with all confydence they maye speake thy worde.


text:
So that thou stretche forth thyne hande, that healynge and sygnes and wonders be done by the name of thy holy chylde Iesus.


text:
And assone as they had prayed the place moued where they were assembled together and they were all fylled with the holy Goost, and they spake the worde of God boldely.


text:
And the multitude of them that beleued, were of one hert, & of one soule. Neyther sayde anye of them, that ought of the thynges which he possessed, was hys awne: but they had all thinges commen.


text:
And with greate power gaue the Apostles wytnes of the resurrecyon of the Lord Iesu. And great grace was with them all.


text:
Nether was ther eny among them, that lacked. For as many as were possessers of landes or houses, solde them, and brought the pryce of the thinges that were solde,


text:
and layed it downe at the Apostles fete: And distribucion was made vnto euery man accordynge as he had nede.


text:
And Ioses, which was also called of the Apostles, Barnabas (that is to saye, the sonne of consolacyon) beynge a Leuite, and of the countre of Cypers


text:
and kepte awaye parte of the pryce (hys wyfe also beynge of counsell) and brought a certayne parte, and layde it downe at the Apostles fete.


text:
But Peter sayde: Ananias, how is it, that Sathan hath fylled thyne hert, that thou shuldest lye vnto the holy goost, and kepe awaye parte of the pryce of the lande?


text:
Pertayned it not vnto the onely? & after it was solde, was it not in thyne awne power? Why hast thou conceaued this thinge in thyne herte? Thou hast not lyed vnto men, but vnto God.


text:
When Ananias herde these wordes, he fell downe, and gaue vp the goost. And great feare came on all them that hearde these thinges.


text:
And it fortuned, that (as it were aboute the space of thre houres after) his wyfe came in, ignoraunt of that which was done.


text:
And Peter sayde vnto her: Tell me, Solde ye not the lande for so moch? And she sayd: yee, for so moch.


text:
Then Peter sayde vnto her: why haue ye agreed together, to tempt the sprete of the Lorde? Beholde, the fete of them which haue buried thy husband, are at the dore, and shall cary the out.


text:
Then fell she downe strayght waye at his fete, and yelded vp the goost. And the yonge men came in, and founde her deed, & caryed her out, & buryed her by her husbande.


text:
By the handes of the Apostles were many sygnes and wondres shewed among the people. And they were all together with one accorde in Salomons porche.


text:
in so moch that they brought the sycke into the stretes, and layde them on beddes and couches, that at the least waye the shadowe of Peter when he came by, myght shadowe some of them,


text:
There came also a multitude out of the cyties rounde aboute, vnto Ierusalem, bryngynge sycke folkes, and them which were vexed with vnclene spretes. And they were healed euery one.


text:
Then the chefe Preste rose vp, and all they that were with him (which is the secte of the Saduces) and were full of indignacion,


text:
When they hearde that, they entred into the temple early in the mornynge: and taught. But the chefe preste came and they that were with him, and called a counsell together, and all the elders of the chyldren of Israel, and sent men to the preson, to fet them.


text:
sayinge: the preson truly founde we shut with all diligence, and the kepers standynge without before the dores. But when we had opened, we founde no man with in.


text:
When the chefe Prest and the ruler of the temple, and the hye Prestes hearde these thynges, they douted of them, wher vnto thys wolde growe.


text:
Then came one and shewed them: beholde, the men that ye put in preson, stande in the temple, and teach the people:


text:
Then went the ruler of the temple, with ministres, and brought them without vyolence. For they feared the people, lest they shulde haue bene stoned.


text:
sayinge: dyd not we straytely commaunde you: that ye shuld not teach in this name? And behold, ye haue fylled Ierusalem with youre doctryne, and intende to brynge this mans bloud vpon vs.


text:
Hym hath God lyft vp with his ryght hand, to be a ruler and a sauiour, for to geue repentaunce to Israel, and forgeuenes of synnes.


text:
And we are recordes of these thinges which we saye, and so is also the holy goost, whom God hath geuen to them that obey him.


text:
Then stode ther vp one in the counsell, a Pharysey, named Gamaliel, a doctoure of lawe (had in reputacyon among all the people) and commaunded the Apostles to go asyde a lytell space,


text:
and sayd vnto them: ye men of Israel, take hede to youre selues, what ye entende to do, as touchynge these men.


text:
For before these dayes rose vp one Thudas, boastynge hym selfe, to whom resorted a nombre of men, about a foure hondred, which was slayn: and they all which beleued hym. were scatred abrode, and brought to nough


text:
After this man, was ther one Iudas of Galile in the dayes of the tribute, and drewe awaye moche people after hym. He also perisshed and all, euen (as many as harkened to him) were scatered abrode.


text:
And now I saye vnto you: refraine your selues from these men, and lett them alone. For yf this councel or this worke be of men, it wyll come to naught.


text:
And to hym agreed the other: and whan they had called the apostles, they bet them, and commaunded that they shulde not speake in the name of Iesu, and let them go.


text:
And they departed from the counsell, I reioysinge, that they were counted worthy, to suffre rebuke for his name.


text:
In those dayes (whan the nomber of the discyples grewe) there arose a grudge amonge the Grekes against the Hebrues, because their weddowes were despysed in the dayly ministracyon.


text:
Then the twelue called the multitude of the disciples together and sayde, it is not mete, that we shuld leaue the worde of God: and serue tables.


text:
Wherfore brethren, loke ye out amonge you seuen men of honeste report, and full of the holy ghost and wisdom, to whom we maye committe this busynes.


text:
And the sayinge pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Steuen a man full of faith and of the holy ghost, and Philip, and Procorus, and Nichanor, and Timon, and Permenas, and Nicolas a conuert of Antioche.


text:
And the word of God encreased, and the nomber of the disciples multiplyed in Ierusalem greatly, and a greate companye of the prestes were obedient to the fayth.


text:
Then ther arose certen of the Synagoges, which is called the Synagoge of the Libertynes and Sirenytes, and of Alexandria, and of Celicia, and of Asia, disputynge with Steuen.


text:
Then sent they in men, which sayde: we haue hearde hym speake blasphemous wordes against Moses, and agaynst God.


text:
and brought him to the councell, and brought forth false witnesse, which sayde: Thys man ceaseth not to speake blasphemous wordes against this holy place and the lawe:


text:
for we heard him saye: this Iesus of Nazareth shal destroye this place, and shal chaunge the ordinaunces, which Moses gaue vs.


text:
And all that sate in the counsell, loked stedfastly on him, and sawe his face as it had bene the face of an aungell.


text:
And he sayd: ye men, brethren and fathers, hearken. The God of glory appeared vnto our father Abraham, whan he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,


text:
and sayd vnto hym: Get the out of thy countre, and from thy kynred, and come into the land, which I shall shewe the.


text:
Then came he out of the lande of Chalde, and dwelt in Charran. And from thence, whan hys father was deed, he brought him into this lande in which ye now dwel,


text:
and he gaue hym none inheritaunce in it, no not the bredeth of a fote: and promysed that he wold geue it to him to possesse & to his seed after hym, when as yet he had no chylde.


text:
God verely spake on thys wise that his seade shulde sogeourne in a straunge lande, & that they shulde kepe them in bondage, and entreate them euell .iiij.C. yeares.


text:
And the nacyon (to whom they shalbe in bondage) will I iudge, sayd God. And after that shal they come forth and serue me in thys place.


text:
