17 and they clothed him with purple and they platted a croune of thornes and crouned him with all 18 and beganne to salute him. Hayle kynge of the Iewes. 19 And they smoote him on the heed wt a rede and spat apon him and kneled doune and worsheped him. 20 And when they had moocked him they toke the purple of him and put his awne cloothes on him and ledde him oute to crucifie him. 21 And they compelled one that passed by called Symon of Cyrene (which cam oute of the felde and was father of Alexander and Rufus) to beare his crosse. 22 And they brought him to a place named Golgotha (which is by interpretacion the place of deed mens scoulles) 23 and they gave him to drinke wyne myngled with myrte but he receaved it not. 24 And when they had crucified him they parted his garmentes castinge loottes for them what every man shulde have. 25 And it was aboute ye thyrde houre and they crucified him. 26 And the tytle of his cause was wrytten: The kynge of the Iewes. 27 And they crucified with him two theves: the one on the ryght honde and the other on his lyfte. 28 And the scripture was fulfilled which sayeth: he was counted amonge the wicked. 29 And they that went by rayled on him: waggynge their heedes and sayinge: A wretche that destroyest the temple and byldest it in thre dayes: 30 save thy sylfe and come doune from the crosse. 31 Lyke wyse also mocked him ye hye preestes amonge them selves with the scribes and sayde: He saved other men him sylfe he cannot save. 32 Let Christ the kynge of Israel now descende from the crosse that we maye se and beleve. And they that were crucified with him checked him also. 33 And when the sixte houre was come darknes aroose over all the erth vntyll ye nynthe houre. 34 And at the nynthe houre Iesus cryed with a loude voyce sayinge: Eloi Eloi lamaasbathani which is yf it be interpreted: my God my God why hast thou forsaken me? 35 And some of them that stode by when they hearde yt sayde: beholde he calleth for Helyas 36 And one ran and filled a sponge full of veneger and put it on a rede and gave him to drinke sayinge: let him alone let vs se whether Helyas will come and take him doune. 37 But Iesus cryed with aloude voyce and gave vp the gooste. 38 And the vayle of the temple dyd rent in two peces from the toppe to the boottome. 39 And when the Centurion which stode before him sawe that he so cryed and gave vp the gooste he sayd: truly this man was the sonne of God. 40 Ther were also wemen a good waye of beholdinge him: amonge whom was Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother of Iames the lytle and of Ioses and Mary Salome 41 which also when he was in Galile folowed him and ministred vnto him and many other wemen which came vp with him to Hierusalem. 42 And now when nyght was come (because it was ye even that goeth before ye saboth) 43 Ioseph of Arimathia a noble councelour which also loked for ye kyngdome of God came and went in booldly vnto Pylate and begged ye boddy of Iesu. 44 And Pylate merveled that he was alredy deed and called vnto him ye Centurion and axed of him whether he had bene eny whyle deed. 45 And when he knewe the trueth of the Centurion he gave ye body to Ioseph.
46 And he bought a lynnen cloothe and toke him doune and wrapped him in ye lynnen cloothe and layde him in a tombe yt was hewen oute of ye rocke and rolled a stone vnto the doze of the sepulcre. 47 And Mary Magdalen and Mary Ioses beheld where he was layde. Chapter 16 1 And when ye saboth daye was past Mary Magdalen and Mary Iacobi and Salome bought odures that they myght come and anoynt him. 2 And erly in the morninge the nexte daye after the saboth day they came vnto the sepulcre when the sunne was rysen. 3 And they sayd one to another: who shall rolle vs awaye the stone from the dore of the sepulcre? 4 And when they looked they sawe how the stone was rolled awaye: for it was a very greate one. 5 And they went into the sepulcre and sawe a yonge man syttinge on the ryght syde cloothed in a longe whyte garmet and they were abasshed. 6 And he sayd vnto the be not afrayed: ye seke Iesus of Nazareth which was crucified. He is rysen he is not here. Beholde the place where they put him. 7 But go youre waye and tell his disciples and namely Peter: he will goo before you into Galile: there shall ye se him as he sayde vnto you. 8 And they went oute quickly and fleed from the sepulcre. For they trembled and were amased. Nether sayd they eny thinge to eny man for they were afrayed. 9 When Iesus was rysen the morow after ye saboth daye he appered fyrst to Mary Magdalen oute of whom he cast seven devyls. 10 And she wet and toolde them that were with him as they morned and weapte. 11 And when they herde that he was alyve and he had appered to hyr they beleved it not. 12 After that he appered vnto two of them in a straunge figure as they walked and went into the country. 13 And they went and toolde it to the remnaunt. And they beleved them nether. 14 After that he appered vnto the eleve as they sate at meate: and cast in their tethe their vnbelefe and hardnes of herte: be cause they beleued not them which had sene him after his resurreccio. 15 And he sayd vnto them: Goo ye in to all the worlde and preache the glad tyges to all creatures 16 he that beleueth and is baptised shall be saved. But he that beleveth not shalbe dampned. 17 And these signes shall folowe them that beleve: In my name they shall cast oute devyls and shall speake with newe tonges 18 and shall kyll serpentes. And yf they drinke eny dedly thinge yt shall not hurte the. They shall laye their hondes on ye sicke and they shall recover. 19 So then when the lorde had spoken vnto them he was receaued into heauen and is set doune on the ryght honde of God. 20 And they went forth and preached every where. And the Lorde wrought with them and confirmed the worde with miracles that folowed.
Chapter 1 1 For as moche as many have take in hand to compyle a treates of thoo thinges which are surely knowen amonge vs 2 even as they declared them vnto vs which from the beginnynge sawe them their selves and were ministers at the doyng: 3 I determined also assone as I had searched out diligently all thinges from the beginnynge that then I wolde wryte vnto the good Theophilus: 4 that thou myghtest knowe the certente of thoo thinges wher of thou arte informed. 5 There was in the dayes of Herode kynge of Iurie a certayne prest named Zacharias of ye course of Abia. And his wyfe was of ye doughters of Aaron: And her name was Elizabeth. 6 Booth were perfect before God and walked in all the lawes and ordinaces of the Lorde that no man coulde fynde fawte with them. 7 And they had no chylde because that Elizabeth was barre and booth were well stricken in age. 8 And it cam to passe as he executed the prestes office before god as his course came 9 (accordinge to the custome of the prestes office) his lot was to bourne incece. 10 And wet into ye teple of ye Lorde and the whoale multitude of ye people were with out in prayer whill the incense was aburnynge. 11 And ther appered vnto him an angell of the lorde stondinge on the ryght syde of the altare of incense. 12 And when Zacharias sawe him he was abasshed and feare came on him. 13 And the angell sayde vnto him: feare not Zachary for thy prayer is hearde: And thy wyfe Elizabeth shall beare ye a sonne and thou shalt call his name Iohn 14 and thou shalt have ioye and gladnes and many shall reioyce at his birth. 15 For he shalbe greate in the sight of the lorde and shall nether drinke wyne ner stronge drinke. And he shalbe filled with the holy goost even in his mothers wombe: 16 and many of the chyldren of Israel shall he tourne to their Lorde God. 17 And he shall goo before him in the sprete and power of Helyas to tourne the hertes of the fathers to the chyldren and the vnbelevers to the wysdom of the iuste men: to make the people redy for the Lorde. 18 And Zacharias sayde vnto ye angell: Wher by shall I knowe this? seinge that I am olde and my wyfe well stricken in yeares. 19 And the angell answered and sayde vnto him: I am Gabriell that stonde in the presens of God and am sent to speake vnto the: and to shewe the these glad tydinges. 20 And beholde thou shalt be domme and not able to speake vntyll the tyme that these thinges be performed because thou belevedst not my wordes which shalbe fulfilled in their season. 21 And the people wayted for Zacharias and mervelled that he taryed in the temple. 22 And whe he cam oute he could not speake vnto them. Wherby they perceaved that he had sene some vision in the temple. And he beckened vnto them and remayned speachlesse. 23 And it fortuned assone as ye tyme of his office was oute he departed home into his awne housse. 24 And after thoose dayes his wyfe Elizabeth coceaved and hyd her sylfe .v. monethes sayinge: 25 This wyse hath God dealte wt me in ye dayes when he loked on me to take from me the rebuke yt I suffred amonge men.
26 And in ye .vi. moneth ye angell Gabriel was sent fro god vnto a cite of Galile named Nazareth 27 to a virgin spoused to a man whose name was Ioseph of ye housse of David and ye virgins name was Mary. 28 And ye angell went in vnto her and sayde: Hayle full of grace ye Lorde is with ye: blessed arte thou amonge wemen. 29 When she sawe him she was abasshed at his sayinge: and cast in her mynde what maner of salutacion yt shuld be. 30 And ye angell sayde vnto her: feare not Mary: for thou hast founde grace wt god. 31 Loo: thou shalt coceave in thy wombe and shalt beare a sonne and shalt call his name Iesus. 32 He shalbe greate and shalbe called the sonne of the hyest. And ye lorde God shall geve vnto him the seate of his father David 33 and he shall raygne over ye housse of Iacob forever and of his kyngdome shalbe none ende. 34 Then sayd Mary vnto ye angell: How shall this be seinge I knowe not a man? 35 And ye angell answered and sayd vnto her: The holy goost shall come apon the and ye power of ye hyest shall over shaddowe ye. Therfore also yt holy thinge which shalbe borne shalbe called ye sonne of god. 36 And beholde thy cosen Elizabeth she hath also conceaved a sonne in her age. And this is hyr sixte moneth though she be called barren: 37 for wt god can nothinge be vnpossible. 38 And Mary sayd: beholde ye honde mayden of ye lorde be it vnto me even as thou hast sayde. And the angell departed from her. 39 And Mary arose in thoose dayes and went into ye mountayns wt hast into a cite of Iurie 40 and entred into the housse of zachary and saluted Elizabeth. 41 And it fortuned as Elizabeth hearde ye salutacion of Mary the babe spronge in her belly. And Elizabeth was filled with the holy goost 42 and cryed with a loude voyce and sayde: Blessed arte thou amonge wemen and blessed is the frute of thy wombe. 43 And whence hapeneth this to me that the mother of my Lorde shuld come to me? 44 For loo assone as the voyce of thy salutacion sownded in myne eares the babe sprange in my belly for ioye. 45 And blessed arte thou that belevedst: for thoose thinges shalbe performed wich were tolde ye from the lorde. 46 And Mary sayde. My soule magnifieth the Lorde. 47 And my sprete reioyseth in god my savioure 48 For he hath loked on the povre degre of his honde mayde. Beholde now from hence forth shall all generacions call me blessed. 49 For he that is myghty hath done to me greate thinges and holye is his name. 50 And his mercy is on them that feare him thorow oute all generacions. 51 He sheweth strength with his arme he scattereth them that are proude in the ymaginacion of their hertes. 52 He putteth doune the myghty from their seates and exalteth them of lowe degre. 53 He filleth the hongry with good thinges: and sendeth awaye the ryche emptye. 54 He remenbreth mercy: and helpeth his servaunt Israel. 55 Even as he promised to oure fathers Abraham and to his seede for ever. 56 And mary aboode with hyr aboute a .iii. monethes and retourned agayne to hyr awne housse.
57 Elizabethes tyme was come that she shuld be delyvered and she brought forth a sonne. 58 And her neghboures and her cosins hearde tell how the lorde had shewed great mercy vpon her and they reioysed with her. 59 And it fortuned ye eyght daye: they cam to circumcise the chylde: and called his name zacharias after the name of his father. 60 How be it his mother answered and sayd: not so but he shalbe called Ihon. 61 And they sayd vnto hyr: Ther is none of thy kynne that is named wt this name. 62 And they made signes to his father how he wolde have him called. 63 And he axed for wrytynge tables and wroote saying: his name is Iohn. And they marvelled all. 64 And his mouthe was opened immediatly and his tonge also and he spake lawdynge God. 65 And feare came on all the that dwelt nye vnto them. And all these sayinges were noysed abroade throughout all ye hyll coutre of Iurie 66 and all they yt herde the layde them vp in their hertes saying: What maner chylde shall this be? And the honde of ye lorde was with him. 67 And his father zacharias was filled with the holy goost and prophisyed sayinge: 68 Blessed be the Lorde God of Israel for he hath visited and redemed his people. 69 And hath reysed vp an horne of salvacion vnto vs in the housse of his servaunt David. 70 Even as he promised by ye mouth of his holy prophetes which were sens ye worlde began 71 That we shuld be saved from oure enemies and from the hondis of all that hate vs: 72 To fulfill the mercy promised to oure fathers and to remember his holy covenaunt. 73 And to performe the oothe which he sware to oure father Adraham 74 for to geve vs. That we delyvered oute of ye hondes of oure enemyes myght serve him with oute feare 75 all the dayes of oure lyfe in suche holynes and ryghtewesnes that are accept before him. 76 And thou chylde shalt be called the Prophet of the hyest: for thou shalt goo before the face of the lorde to prepare his wayes: 77 And to geve knowlege of salvacion vnto his people for the remission of synnes: 78 Through the tender mercy of oure God wherby the daye springe from an hye hath visited vs. 79 To geve light to the that sate in darcknes and in shadowe of deth and to gyde oure fete into the waye of peace. 80 And the chylde grew and wexed stronge in sprete and was in wyldernes tyll the daye cam when he shuld shewe him sylfe vnto the Israhelites. Chapter 2 1 And it chaunced in thoose dayes: yt ther went oute a comaundment from Auguste the Emperour that all the woorlde shuld be taxed. 2 And this taxynge was ye fyrst and executed when Syrenius was leftenaut in Syria. 3 And every man went vnto his awne citie to be taxed. 4 And Ioseph also ascended from Galile oute of a cite called Nazareth into Iurie: vnto ye cite of David which is called Bethleem because he was of the housse and linage of David 5 to be taxed with Mary his spoused wyfe which was with chylde. 6 And it fortuned whyll they were there her tyme was come that she shuld be delyvered. 7 And she brought forth her fyrst begotten sonne and wrapped him in swadlynge cloothes and layed him in a manger because ther was no roume for them within in the ynne.
8 And ther were in the same region shepherdes abydinge in the felde and watching their flocke by nyght. 9 And loo: the angell of ye lorde stode harde by the and the brightnes of ye lorde shone rounde aboute them and they were soare afrayed. 10 But the angell sayd vnto them: Be not afrayed. For beholde I bringe you tydinges of greate ioye yt shal come to all ye people: 11 for vnto you is borne this daye in the cite of David a saveoure which is Christ ye lorde. 12 And take this for a signe: ye hall fynde ye chylde swadled and layed in a mager. 13 And streight waye ther was with the angell a multitude of hevenly sowdiers laudynge God and sayinge: 14 Glory to God an hye and peace on the erth: and vnto men reioysynge. 15 And it fortuned assone as the angels were gone awaye fro them in to heven the shepherdes sayd one to another: let vs goo eve vnto Bethleem and se this thynge that is hapened which the Lorde hath shewed vnto vs. 16 And they cam with haste and founde Mary and Ioseph and the babe layde in a mager. 17 And when they had sene it they publisshed a brode the sayinge which was tolde them of that chylde. 18 And all that hearde it wondred at those thinges which were tolde the of the shepherdes. 19 But Mary kept all thoose sayinges and pondered them in hyr hert. 20 And the shepherdes retourned praysinge and laudinge God for all that they had herde and sene evyn as it was told vnto them. 21 And when ye eyght daye was come yt the chylde shuld be circucised his name was called Iesus which was named of the angell before he was conceaved in the wombe. 22 And when the tyme of their purificacio (after the lawe of Moyses) was come they brought him to Hierusalem to present hym to ye Lorde 23 (as yt is written in the lawe of the Lorde: every man that fyrst openeth the matrix shalbe called holy to the Lorde) 24 and to offer (as it ys sayde in the lawe of the Lorde) a payre of turtle doves or two yonge pigions. 25 And beholde ther was a ma in Hierusalem whose name was Simeon. And the same ma was iuste and feared God and longed for the consolacion of Israel and the holy goost was in him. 26 And an answer was geven him of the holy goost that he shulde not se deethe before he had sene the lordes Christ. 27 And he came by inspiracion into the temple. And when the father and mother brought in the chylde Iesus to do for him after the custome of the lawe 28 then toke he him vp in his armes and sayde. 29 Lorde Now lettest thou thy seruaut departe in peace accordinge to thy promes. 30 For myne eyes have sene ye saveour sent fro ye 31 Wich thou hast prepared before the face of all people. 32 A light to lighten the gentyls and the glory of thy people Israel. 33 And his father and mother mervelled at those thinges which were spoke of him. 34 And Simeon blessed them and sayde vnto Mary his mother: beholde this chyld shalbe the fall and resurreccio of many in Israel and a signe which shalbe spoke agaynste. 35 And morover the swearde shall pearce thy soule yt the thoughtes of many hertes maye be opened. 36 And ther was a Prophetesse one Anna the doughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Aser: which was of a greate age and had lyved with an husbande. vii. yeres from her virginite. 37 And she had bene a wedowe aboute .iiii. scoore and .iiii. yere which went never oute of the temple but served God with fastinge and prayer nyght and daye.
38 And the same came forth that same houre and praysed the Lorde and spake of him to all that loked for redempcion in Hierusalem. 39 And assone as they had performed all thinges accordinge to the lawe of the Lorde they returned into Galile to their awne cite Nazareth. 40 And the chylde grewe and wexed stronde in sprete and was filled with wysdome and the grace of God was with hym. 41 And his father and mother went to Hierusalem every yeare at the feeste of ester. 42 And when he was .xii. yere olde they went vp to Hierusalem after the custome of the feeste. 43 And when they had fulfilled the dayes as they returned home the chylde Iesus boode styll in Hierusalem vnknowynge to his father and mother. 44 For they supposed he had bene in the copany and therfore came a days iorney and sought him amoge their kynsfolke and acquayntaunce. 45 And when they founde hym not they went backe agayne to Hierusalem and sought him. 46 And it fortuned after .iii. dayes that they founde him in the teple sittinge in the middes of the doctours both hearynge them and posinge them. 47 And all that hearde him mervelled at his wit and answers. 48 And when they sawe him they were astonyed. And his mother sayde vnto him: sonne why hast thou thus dealte with vs? Beholde thy father and I have sought the sorowenge. 49 And he sayde vnto the: how is it yt ye sought me? Wist ye not that I must goo aboute my fathers busines? 50 And they vnderstode not ye sayinge that he spake to them. 51 And he went with them and came to Nazareth and was obedient to the. But his mother kept all these thinges in her hert. 52 And Iesus increased in wisdom and age and in favoure with god and man. Chapter 3 1 In the fiftenthe yeare of the raygne of Tiberius the Emperoure Pontius Pylate beinge leftenaut of Iurie and Herode beinge Tetrach of Galile and his brother Philip Tetrach in Iturea and in the region of Traconites and Lysanias the Tetrach of Abyline 2 when Anna and Cayphas were the hye prestes: the worde of God came vnto Iohn ye sonne of zacharias in the wildernes. 3 And he came in to all the coostes aboute Iordan preachynge the baptyme of repentaunce for the remission of synnes 4 at it is written in the boke of the sayinges of Esaias ye Prophet which sayeth: The voyce of a cryar in wyldernes prepare the waye of the Lorde make hys pathes strayght. 5 Every valley shalbe fylled and every moutayne and hyll shalbe brought lowe. And crocked thinges shalbe made streight: and the rough wayes shalbe made smoth: 6 and all flesshe shall se the saveour sent of God. 7 Then sayde he to the people that were come to be baptysed of him: O generacion of vipers who hath taught you to flye from the wrath to come? 8 Bringe forth due frutes of repentaunce and begynne not to saye in youre selves we have Abraham to oure father. For I saye vnto you: God is able of these stones to reyse vp chyldren vnto Abraham. 9 Now also ys the axe leyd vnto the rote of the trees: so yt every tree which bringeth not forth good frute shalbe hewe doune and caste in to ye fyre. 10 And the people axed him sayinge: What shall we do then? 11 He answered and sayde vnto them: He that hath two coottes let him parte with him that hath none: and he that hath meate let him do lyke wyse.
12 Then came ther Publicans to be baptised and sayde vnto him: Master what shall we do? 13 And he sayde vnto the: requyre no more then that which ys appoynted vnto you. 14 The soudyoures lyke wyse demaunded of hym sayinge: and what shall we do? And he sayde to them: Do violence to noo ma: nether trouble eny man wrongfully: but be content with youre wages. 15 As the people were in a doute and all men disputed in their hertes of Iohn whether he were very Christ: 16 Ihon answered and sayde to them all: I baptyse you wt water but a stronger then I cometh after me whose shue latchet I am not worthy to vnlouse: he will baptise you with the holy goost and with fyre: 17 which hath his fanne in his hond and will pourge his floore and will gader the corne into his barne: but the chaffe wyll he bourne with fyre that never shalbe quenched. 18 And many other thinges in his exhortacion preached he vnto the people. 19 Then Herode the Tetrach (when he was rebuked of him for Herodias his brother Philippes wyfe and for all the evyls which Herod had done) 20 added this above all and leyd Iohn in preson. 21 And yt fortuned as all the people receaved baptyme (and when Iesus was baptised and dyd praye) that heave was opened 22 and the holy goost came doune in a bodely shape lyke a dove vpo him and a voyce came fro heve sayinge: Thou arte my dere sonne in the do I delyte. 23 And Iesus him silfe was about thirty yere of age when he begane beinge as men supposed the sonne of Ioseph. which Ioseph was the sonne of Heli 24 which was the sonne of Mathat which was the sonne of Levi: which was the sonne of Melchi: which was the sonne of Ianna: which was the sonne of Ioseph: 25 which was the sonne of Matatthias: which was the sonne of Amos: which was the sonne of Nahum: which was the sonne of Esli: which was the sonne of Nagge: 26 which was the sonne of Maath: which was the sonne of Matathias: which was the sonne of Semei: which was the sonne of Ioseph: which was the sonne of Iuda: 27 which was the sonne of Iohanna: which was the sonne of Rhesya: which was the sonne of zorobabel: which was the sonne of Salathiel: which was the sonne of Neri: 28 which was the sonne of Melchi: which was the sonne of Addi: which was the sonne of Cosam: which was the sonne of Helmadam: which was the sonne of Her: 29 which was the sonne of Ieso: which was the sonne of Helieser: which was the sonne of Ioram: which was the sonne of Mattha: which was the sonne of Levi: 30 which was the sonne of Simeon: which was the sonne of Iuda: which was the sonne of Ioseph: which was the sonne of Ionam: which was the sonne of Heliachim: 31 which was the sonne of Melea: which was the sonne of Menam: which was the sonne of Mathathan: which was the sonne of Nathan: which was the sonne of David: 32 which was the sonne of Iesse: which was the sonne of Obed: which was the sonne of Boos: which was the sonne of Salmon: which was the sonne of Naason: 33 which was the sonne of Aminadab: which was the sonne of Aram: which was the sonne of Esrom: which was the sonne of Phares: which was the sonne of Iuda: 34 which was the sonne of Iacob: which was the sonne of Ysaac: which was the sonne of Abraham: which was the sonne of Tharra: which was the sonne of Nachor: 35 which was the sonne of Saruch: which was the sonne of Ragau: which was the sonne of Phalec: which was the sonne of Heber: which was the sonne of Sala: 36 which was the sonne of Cainan: which was the sonne of Arphaxat: which was the sonne of Sem: which was the sonne of Noe: which was the sonne of Lameth:
37 which was the sonne of Mathusala: which was the sonne of Enoch: which was the sonne of Iareth: which was the sonne of Malalehel. which was the sonne of Cainan: 38 which was the sonne of Enos: which was the sonne of Seth: which was the sonne of Adam: which was the sonne of God. Chapter 4 1 Iesus then full of the holy goost returnyd fro Iordan and was caryed of ye sprete into wildernes 2 and was .xl. dayes tempted of the devyll. And in thoose dayes ate he no thinge. And when they were ended he afterward hongred. 3 And the devyll sayde vnto him: yf thou be the sonne of God comaunde this stone yt it be breed. 4 And Iesus answered hym sayinge: It is writte: man shall not live by breed only but by every worde of God. 5 And ye devyll toke him vp into an hye moutayne and shewed him all the kyngdoms of the worlde eve in ye twincklinge of an eye. 6 And ye devyll sayde vnto him: all this power will I geve ye every whit and the glory of the: for yt is delyvered to me and to whosoever I will I geve it. 7 Yf thou therfore wilt worshippe me they shalbe all thyne. 8 Iesus answered him and sayde: hence from me Sathan. For it is written: Thou shalt honour the Lorde thy God and him only serve. 9 And he caryed him to Ierusalem and set him on a pynacle of the temple and sayd vnto him: Yf thou be the sonne of God cast thy silfe doune from hens. 10 For it is written he shall geve his angels charge over the to kepe the 11 and with there hondis they shall stey the vp that thou dasshe not thy fote agaynst a stone. 12 Iesus answered and sayde to him it is sayd: thou shalt not tempte the Lorde thy God. 13 Assone as the devyll had ended all his temptacions he departed from him for a season. 14 And Iesus retourned by the power of ye sprete in to Galile and there went a fame of him thorowe oute all the regio roude aboute. 15 And he taught in their synagoges and was commended of all men. 16 And he came to Nazareth where he was noursed and as hys custome was went in to the synagoge on the Saboth dayes and stode vp for to rede. 17 And ther was delyvered vnto him ye boke of ye Prophete Esaias. And when he had opened the boke he founde the place where it was written. 18 The sprete of the lorde vpon me because he hath annoynted me: to preache ye gospell to ye poore he hath sent me: and to heale the broken harted: to preache delyverauce to the captive and sight to the blinde and frely to set at lyberte them that are brused 19 and to preache the acceptable yeare of the Lorde. 20 And he cloosed the booke and gave it agayne to the minister and sate doune. And the eyes of all that were in the synagoge were fastened on him. 21 And he began to saye vnto them. This daye is this scripture fulfilled in youre eares. 22 And all bare him witnes and wondred at the gracious wordes which proceded oute of his mouth and sayde: Is not this Iosephs sonne? 23 And he sayde vnto them: Ye maye very well saye vnto me this proverbe: Phisicion heale thy silfe. Whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum do the same here lyke wyse in thyne awne countre. 24 And he sayde verely I saye vnto you: No Prophet is accepted in his awne countre.
25 But I tell you of a truth many wyddowes were in Israell in the dayes of Helias when hevyn was shet thre yeres and syxe monethes when greate fammisshemet was throughoute all the londe 26 and vnto none of them was Helias sent save in to Sarephta besydes Sidon vnto a woma that was a widow. 27 And many lepers were in Israel in the tyme of Heliseus the Prophete: and yet none of them was healed savinge Naaman of Siria. 28 And as many as were in ye sinagoge when they herde that were filled with wrath: 29 and roose vp and thrust him oute of the cite and ledde him eve vnto the edge of the hill wher on their cite was bilte to cast him doune hedlynge. 30 But he went his waye eve thorow the myddes of them: 31 and came in to Capernaum a cyte of Galile and there taught the on the Saboth dayes. 32 And they were astonyed at his doctrine: for his preachige was wt power. 33 And in the synagoge ther was a ma which had a sprete of an vncleane devell and cryed with aloude voyce 34 sayinge: let me alone what hast thou to do with vs thou Iesus of Nazareth? Arte thou come to destroye vs? I knowe the what thou arte eve the holy of God. 35 And Iesus rebuked him sayinge: holde thy peace and come oute of him. And the devyll threwe him in the myddes of them and came oute of him and hurt him not. 36 And feare came on them all and they spake amonge them selves sayinge: what maner a thinge is this? For with auctorite and power he commaundeth the foule spretes and they come out? 37 And ye fame of him spreed abroode thorowoute all places of the countre round aboute. 38 And he roose vp and came oute of ye sinagoge and entred in to Simons housse. And Simos motherelawe was take with a greate fever and they made intercession to him for her. 39 And he stode over her and rebuked the fever: and it leeft her. And immediatly she arose and ministred vnto them. 40 When the sonne was doune all they that had sicke take with divers deseases brought them vnto him: and he layde his hondes on every one of them and healed them. 41 And devils also cam out of many of them crying and saying: thou arte Christ the sonne of God. And he rebuked them and suffered them not to speake: for they knewe that he was Christ. 42 Assone as it was daye he departed and went awaye into a desert place and ye people sought him and came to him and kept him that he shuld not departe from the. 43 And he sayde vnto the: I muste to other cities also preache the kyngdome of God: for therfore am I sent. 44 And he preached in the synagoges of Galile. Chapter 5 1 It came to passe as the people preased vpon him to heare the worde of God that he stoode by the lake of Genezareth: 2 and sawe two shippes stonde by the lake syde but the fisshermen were gone out of the and were wasshynge their nettes. 3 And he entred in to one of the shippes which perteyned to Simon and prayed him that he wolde thrust out a litell from the londe. And he sate doune and taught the people out of the ship. 4 When he had leeft speakynge he sayde vnto Simon: Launche out in to the depe and let slippe youre nettes to make a draught
5 And Simon answered and sayde to him: Master we have labored all nyght and have taken nothinge. Neverthelater at thy worde I will loose forthe the net. 6 And when they had so done they inclosed a greate multitude of fisshes. And their net brake: 7 but they made signes to their felowes which were in the other ship that they shuld come and helpe the And they came: and filled bothe the shippes that they soncke agayne. 8 When Simon Peter sawe that he fell doune at Iesus knees sayinge: Lorde goo 9 fro me for I am a synfull man. For he was vtterly astonyed and all that were wt him at ye draught of fisshe which they toke: 10 and so was also Iames and Iohn ye sonnes of zebede which were parteners wt Simon. And Iesus sayde vnto Simon: feare not fro hence forthe thou shalt catche men. 11 And they brought the shippes to londe and forsoke all and folowed him. 12 And it fortuned as he was in a certayne cite: beholde ther was a man full of leprosy: and when he had spied Iesus he fell on his face and besought him sayinge: Lorde yf thou wilt thou canst make me cleane. 13 And he strethed forth ye hond and touched him sayinge: I will be thou cleane. And immediatly the leprosy departed from him. 14 And he warned him that he shuld tell no man: but that he shuld goo and shewe him selfe to the Preste and offer for his clensynge accordinge as Moses commaundement was for a witnes vnto them. 15 But so moche the moare went ther a fame abroade of him and moche people cam to geder to heare and to be healed of him of their infirmities. 16 And he kepte him silfe aparte in ye wildernesses and gave him silfe to prayer. 17 And it happened on a certayne daye that he taught: and ther sate the pharises: and docturs of lawe which were come out of all ye tounes of Galile Iurie and Hierusalem. And the power of the Lorde was to heale the. 18 And beholde me brought a man lyinge in his beed which was taken with a palsie: and sought meanes to brynge him in and to laye him before him. 19 And whe they coulde not finde by what waye they might bringe him in be cause of ye prease they wet vp on the toppe of ye housse and let him doune thorowe the tylinge beed and all in the middes before Iesus. 20 When he sawe their fayth he sayde vnto him: man thy synnes are forgeven the. 21 And the Scribes and the Parises begane to thinke sayinge: What felow is this which speaketh blasphemy? Who can forgeve synnes but God only? 22 When Iesus perceaved their thoughtes he answered and sayde vnto them: What thinke ye in youre hertes? 23 Whether is easyar to saye thy synnes are forgeve the or to saye: rise and walke? 24 But that ye maye knowe that the sonne of ma hath power to forgeve synnes on erth he sayde vnto ye sicke of the palsie: I saye to the aryse take vp thy beed and go home to thy housse. 25 And immediatly he rose vp before them and toke vp his beed where on he laye and departed to his awne housse praysinge God. 26 And they were all amased and they lauded God and were filled with feare sayinge: We have sene straunge thynges to daye. 27 And after that he went forthe and sawe a Publican named Levi sittinge at the receyte of custome and sayde vnto him: folow me. 28 And he leeft all roose vp and folowed him. 29 And that same Levi made him a greate feaste at home in his awne housse. And ther was a greate copany of publicans and of other that sate at meate with him.
30 And the Scribes and Pharises murmured agaynst his disciples sayinge: Why eate ye and drinke ye with publicas and synners? 31 Iesus answered and sayde vnto the: They yt are whole nede not of ye phisicion: but they yt are sicke. 32 I came not to call ye rightewes but synners to repentauce. 33 Then they sayde vnto him: Why do the disciples of Iohn fast often and praye and the disciples of ye Pharises also: and thine eate and drinke? 34 And he sayde vnto them: Can ye make ye chyldren of the weddinge fast as longe as ye brydgrome is present with the? 35 The dayes will come whe the brydgrome shalbe take awaye from them: then shall they fast in those dayes 36 Then he spake vnto them in a similitude: No ma putteth a pece of a newe garment in to an olde vesture: for yf he do: then breaketh he the newe and the pece that was taken out of the newe agreeth not wt the olde. 37 Also no ma poureth newe wyne into olde vessels. For yf he do the newe wyne breaketh the vessels and runneth out it silfe and the vessels perisshe: 38 But newe wyne must be poured into newe vessels and bothe are preserved. 39 Also no man yt drinketh olde wine strayght waye can awaye with newe for he sayeth ye olde is plesauter. Chapter 6 1 It happened on an after saboth that he went thorow the corne felde and that his disciples plucked the eares of corne and ate and rubbed them in their hondes. 2 And certayne of the Pharises sayde vnto them: Why do ye that which is not laufull to do on the saboth dayes? 3 And Iesus answered them and sayde: Have ye not redde what David dyd when he him sylfe was anhungred and they which were with him: 4 how he went into the housse of God and toke and ate the loves of halowed breed and gave also to them which were with him: which was not laufull to eate but for the prestes only. 5 And he sayde vnto them: The sonne of man is Lorde of the saboth daye. 6 And it fortuned in a nother saboth also that he entred in to ye sinagoge and taught. And ther was a ma whose right honde was dryed vp. 7 And ye Scribes and Pharises watched him to se whether he wolde heale on the Saboth daye that they myght fynde an accusacion agaynst him. 8 But he knewe their thoughtes and sayde to the man which had ye wyddred honde: Ryse vp and stonde forthe in the myddes. And he arose and stepped forthe. 9 Then sayde Iesus vnto them: I will axe you a question: Whether is it laufull on the saboth dayes to do good or to do evill? to save lyfe or for to destroye it? 10 And he behelde them all in copasse and sayd vnto ye man: Stretche forth thy honde. And he dyd so and his honde was restored and made as whoole as the other. 11 And they were filled full of madnes and comuned one with another what they myght do to Iesu. 12 And it fortuned in thoose dayes that he went out into a mountayne for to praye and cotinued all nyght in prayer to god. 13 And assone as it was daye he called his disciples and of the he chose twelve which also he called apostles. 14 Simon who he named Peter: and Andrew his brother. Iames and Iho Philip and Bartlemew 15 Mathew and Thomas Iames the sonne of Alpheus and Simon called zelotes
16 and Iudas Iames sonne and Iudas Iscarioth which same was the traytour. 17 And he came doune with them and stode in the playne felde with the company of his disciples and agreate multitude of people out of all parties of Iurie and Ierusalem and from the see cooste of Tire and Sidon which came to heare hym and to be healed of their diseases: 18 and they also that were vexed with foule spretes and they were healed. 19 And all the people preased to touche him: for there went vertue out of him and healed them all. 20 And he lifted vp his eyes apon the disciples and sayde: Blessed be ye poore: for yours is the kyngdome of God. 21 Blessed are ye that honger now: for ye shalbe satisfied. Blessed are ye yt wepe now: for ye shall laugh. 22 Blessed are ye when men hate you and thrust you oute of their companye and rayle and abhorre youre name as an evyll thinge for the sonne of manes sake. 23 Reioyse ye then and be gladde: for beholde youre rewarde is greate in heven. After this manner their fathers entreated the Prophetes. 24 But wo be to you that are ryche: for ye have therin youre consolacion. 25 Wo be to you yt are full: for ye shall honger. Wo be to you that now laugh: for ye shall wayle and wepe. 26 Wo be to you when all men prayse you: for so dyd their fathers to the false prophetes. 27 But I saye vnto you which heare: Love youre enemyes. Do good to the which hate you. 28 Blesse the that course you. And praye for the which wrongfully trouble you. 29 And vnto him that smyteth the on the one cheke offer also ye other. And him that taketh awaye thy goune forbid not to take thy coote also. 30 Geve to every man that axeth of the. And of him that taketh awaye thy goodes axe them not agayne. 31 And as ye wolde that men shuld doo to you: so do ye to them lyke wyse. 32 If ye love the which love you: what thanke are ye worthy of? For the very synners love their lovers. 33 And yf ye do for them which do for you: what thanke are ye worthy of? For the very synners do even the same. 34 If ye lende to them of whome ye hoope to receave: what thanke shall ye have: for the very synners lende to synners to receave as moch agayne. 35 Wherfore love ye youre enemys do good and lende lokynge for nothinge agayne and youre rewarde shalbe greate and ye shalbe the chyldren of the hyest: for he is kynde vnto the vnkynde and to the evyll. 36 Be ye therfore mercifull as youre father is mercifull. 37 Iudge not and ye shall not be Iudged. Condemne not: and ye shall not be condemned. Forgeve and ye shalbe forgeven. 38 Geve and yt shalbe geven vnto you: good measure pressed doune shaken to geder and runnynge over shall men geve into youre bosomes. For with what measure ye mete with ye same shall men mete to you agayne. 39 And he put forthe a similitude vnto the: Can the blynde leade ye blynde? Do they not both then fall into ye dyche? 40 The disciple is not above his master. Every ma shalbe perfecte even as his master is. 41 Why seyst thou a moote in thy brothers eye considerest not ye beame yt is in thyne awne eye? 42 Ether how canest thou saye to thy brother: Brother let me pull out ye moote that is in thyne eye: when thou perceavest not the beame that is in thyne awne eye? Ypocrite cast
out ye beame out of thyne awne eye fyrst and then shalt thou se perfectly to pull out the moote out of thy brothers eye. 43 It is not a good tree that bringeth forthe evyll frute: nether is that an evyll tree that bringeth forthe good frute 44 For every tree is knowen by his frute. Nether of thornes gader men fygges nor of busshes gader they grapes. 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his hert bringeth forthe that which is good. And an evyll man out of the evyll treasure of his hert bringeth forthe that which ys evyll. For of the aboundaunce of ye her his mouthe speakethe. 46 Why call ye me Master Master: and do not as I bid you? 47 whosoever cometh to me and heareth my sayinges and dothe the same I will shewe you to whome he ys lyke. 48 He is like a man which bilt an housse: and digged depe and layde the foundacio on a rocke. Whe the waters arose the fludde bet apo that housse and coulde not move yt. For it was grounded apon a rocke. 49 But he that heareth and doth not is lyke a man that with out foundacion bylt an housse apon the erth agaynst which the fludde did bet: and it fell by and by. And ye fall of yt housse was greate. Chapter 7 1 When he had ended all his sainges in the audience of the people he entred into Capernau 2. And a certayne Centurions seruaunte was sicke and redy to dye whom he made moche of. 3 And when he hearde of Iesu he sent vnto him the elders of the Iewes besechinge him yt he wolde come and heale his servaunt. 4 And they came to Iesus and besought him instantly sayinge: He is worthi that thou shuldest do this for him. 5 For he loveth oure nacion and hath bilt vs a sinagoge 6 And Iesus went with them. And when he was not farre fro the housse the Centurio sent frendes to him sayinge vnto him: Lorde trouble not thy silfe: for I am not worthy yt thou shuldest enter vnder my roffe. 7 Wherfore I thought not my silfe worthy to come vnto the: but saye the worde and my servaunt shalbe whoole. 8 For I lyke wyse am a man vnder power and have vnder me soudiers and I saye vnto won goo: and he goeth. And to another come: and he cometh. And to my servaunt do this: and he doeth it. 9 When Iesus herde this he merveyled at him and turned him about and sayd to the people that folowed him: I saye vnto you I have not founde so greate faith noo not in Israel. 10 And they yt were sent turned backe home agayne and founde the servaunt that was sicke whoole. 11 And it fortuned after that that he went into a cite called Naim and many of his disciples went wt him and moche people. 12 When he came nye to the gate of the cite: beholde ther was a deed man caried out which was ye only sonne of his mother and she was a widowe and moche people of the cite was with her. 13 And when ye lorde sawe her he had compassion on her and sayde vnto her: wepe not. 14 And he went and touched the coffyn and they yt bare him stode still. And he sayde: Yonge man I saye vnto the aryse.
15 And ye deed sate vp and beganne to speake. And he delyvered him to his mother. 16 And ther ca a feare on the all. And they glorified god sayinge: a greate prophet is rysen amoge vs and god hath visited his people 17 And this rumor of him wet forthe throughout all Iurie and thorowout all the regions which lye rounde about. 18 And ye disciples of Iohn shewed him of all these thinges. 19 And Iohn called vnto him .ii. of his disciples and sent the to Iesus sayinge: Arte thou he that shall come: or shall we loke for another? 20 When the men were come vnto him they sayde: Iohn baptiste sent vs vnto ye sayinge: Arte thou he that shall come: or shall we wayte for another? 21 And at yt same tyme he cured many of their infirmites and plages and of evyll spretes and vnto many that were blynde he gave sight 22 And Iesus answered and sayd vnto them: Goo youre wayes and shewe Iohn what thinges ye have sene and harde: how yt the blynde se the halt goo the lepers are clensed the deafe heare the deed aryse to the poore is the glad tydinges preached 23 and happy is he that is not offended by me. 24 When ye messengers of Iohn were departed he began to speake vnto ye people of Iohn What wet ye oute into ye wildernes for to se? went ye to se arede shaken wt ye wynde? 25 But what went ye out for tose? A ma clothed in soofte rayment? Beholde they which are gorgeously apparelled and lyve delicatly are in kynges courtes. 26 But what went ye forth to se? A prophete? Ye I saye to you and moare then a prophete 27 This is he of who it is wrytte: Beholde I sende my messenger before thy face to prepare thy waye before the. 28 For I saye vnto you: a greater prophete then Iohn amoge wemes chyldre is ther none. Neverthelesse one yt is lesse in ye kyngdo of god is greater the he 29 And all the people that hearde and the publicans iustified God and were baptised with the baptim of Iohn. 30 But the pharises and scribes despised ye counsell of god agaynst them selves and were not baptised of him. 31 And ye lorde sayd: Wher vnto shall I lyke the men of this generacion and what thinge are they lyke? 32 They are lyke vnto chyldre sittynge in ye market place and cryinge one to another and sayinge: We have pyped vnto you and ye hahave not daunsed: we have mourned to you and ye have not wept. 33 For Iohn baptist cam nether eatynge breed ner drinkynge wyne and ye saye: he hath the devyll. 34 The sonne of man is come and eateth and drinketh and ye saye: beholde a man which is a glotton and a drinker of wyne a frende of publicans and synners. 35 Yet is wysdome iustified of all her chyldren. 36 And one of the pharises desyred him that he wolde eate with him. And he went into ye pharises housse and sate doune to meate. 37 And beholde a woman in that cite which was a synner assone as she knewe that. Iesus sate at meate in the pharises housse she brought an alablaster boxe of oyntmet 38 and she stode at his fete behynde him wepynge and beganne to wesshe his fete with teares and dyd wipe the with the heares of her heed and kyssed his fete and anoynted them with oyntment. 39 When the pharise which bade him sawe that he spake with in him sylfe sayinge: If this man were a prophete he wolde surely have knowen who and what maner woman this is which toucheth him for she is a synner.
40 And Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: Simon I have some what to saye vnto ye. And he sayd master saye on. 41 There was a certayne lender which had two detters ye one ought five hondred pence and the other fyfty. 42 When they had nothinge to paye he forgave the boothe. Which of them tell me will love him moost? 43 Simon answered and sayde: I suppose that he to whom he forgave moost. And he sayde vnto him: Thou hast truly iudged. 44 And he turned to the woman and sayde vnto Simon: Seist thou this woman? I entred into thy housse and thou gavest me noo water to my fete but she hath wesshed my fete with teares and wiped the with the heeres of her heed. 45 Thou gavest me no kysse: but she sence ye tyme I came in hath not ceased to kysse my fete 46 Myne heed wt oyle thou dydest not anoynte: but she hath annoynted my fete wt oyntmet. 47 Wherefore I saye vnto the: many synnes are forgeve her for she loved moche. To whom lesse is forgeven the same doeth lesse love. 48 And he sayde vnto her thy synnes are forgeven ye 49 And they yt sate at meate with him beganne to saye within them selves: Who is this which forgeveth synnes also? 50 And he sayde to ye woman: Thy faith hath saved the Goo in peace. Chapter 8 1 And it fortuned after that that he him sylfe went throughout cities and tounes preachynge and shewinge ye kyngdom of God and the twelve with him. 2 And also certayne wemen which wer healed of evell spretes and infirmities: Mary called Magdalen out of whom went seven devyls 3 and Ioanna ye wyfe of Chusa Herodees stewarde and Susanna and many other: which ministred vnto the of their substaunce. 4 When moch people were gadred to gether and were come to him out of all cities he spake by a similitude. 5 A sower went out to sowe his seede: and as he sowed some fell by the waye syde and it was troden vnder fete and the foules of the ayre devoured it vp. 6 And some fell on ston and assone as it was spronge vp it widdred awaye because it lacked moystnes. 7 And some fell amonge thornes and ye thornes spronge vp with it and choked it. 8 And some fell on good grounde and sproge vp and bare frute an hondred foolde. And as he sayde these thinges he cryed: He that hath eares to heare let him heare. 9 And his disciples axed him sayinge: what maner similitude is this? 10 And he sayde: vnto you is it geven to knowe the secretes of the kyngdom of God: but to other in similitudes that when they se they shuld not se: and when they heare they shuld not vnderstonde. 11 The similitude is this. The seede is ye worde of God. 12 Thoose yt are besyde the waye are they that heare and afterwarde cometh ye devyll and taketh awaye the worde out of their hertes lest they shuld beleve and be saved. 13 They on the stonnes are they which when they heare receave the worde with ioye. But these have noo rootes which for a whyle beleve and in tyme of temtacio goo awaye. 14 And yt which fell amonge thornes are they which heare and goo forth and are choked wt cares and wt riches and volupteous lyvinge and bringe forth noo frute.
15 That in ye good grounde are they which with a good and pure hert heare the worde and kepe it and bringe forth frute with pacience. 16 No man lyghteth a candell and covereth it vnder a vessell nether putteth it vnder ye table: but setteth it on a candelsticke that they that enter in maye se ye lyght. 17 No thinge is in secret yt shall not come abroode: Nether eny thinge hyd that shall not be knowen and come to lyght. 18 Take hede therfore how ye heare. For whosoever hath to him shalbe geve: And whosoever hath not fro him shalbe take even that same which he supposeth that he hath. 19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren and coulde not come at him for prease. 20 And they tolde him sayinge: Thy mother and thy brethren stonde with out and wolde se the. 21 He answered and sayd vnto them: my mother and my brethren are these which heare the worde of God and do it. 22 And it chaunsed on a certayne daye that he went into a shippe and his disciples also and he sayde vnto them: Let vs goo over vnto the other syde of the lake. And they Lanched forthe. 23 And as they sayled he fell a slepe and there arose a storme of wynde in ye lake and they were fylled with water and were in ieopardy. 24 And they went to him and awoke him sayinge: Master Master we are loost. Then he arose and rebuked the wynde and the tempest of water and they ceased and it wexed calme. 25 And he sayd vnto the: where is youre faith? They feared and wondred sayinge one to another: what felowe is this? for he comaundeth bothe the wyndes and water and they obey him? 26 And they sayled vnto the region of ye Gaderenites which is over agaynst Galile. 27 And as he went out to londe ther met him a certayne man out of ye cite which had a devyll longe tyme and ware noo clothes nether aboode in eny housse: but amonge graves. 28 When he sawe Iesus he cryed and fell doune before him and with a loude voyce sayde: What have I to do with the Iesus the sonne of the God moost hyest? I beseche the torment me not. 29 Then he comaunded ye foule sprete to come out of the man. For ofte tymes he caught him and he was bounde with chaynes and kept with fetters: and he brake the bondes and was caryed of the fende into wyldernes. 30 And Iesus axed him sayinge: what is thy name? And he sayde: Legion because many devyls were entred into him. 31 And they besought him yt he wolde not comaunde the to goo out into ye depe. 32 And ther was there by an heerde of many swyne fedynge on an hyll: and they besought him yt he wolde soffre the to enter into the. And he soffred the. 33 Then went the devyls out of the man and entred into the swyne: And the heerd toke their course and ran heedlynge into the lake and were choked. 34 When the herdmen sawe what had chaunsed they fleed and tolde it in the cite and in the villages. 35 And they came out to se what was done: and came to Iesus and founde ye man out of who the devyls were departed sittynge at the fete of Iesus clothed and in his right mynde and they were afrayde. 36 They also wich sawe it tolde the by what meanes he yt was possessed of ye devyll was healed.
37 And all the whole multitude of ye cotrye of the Gaderenites besought him yt he wolde departe from the: for they were taken wt greate feare. And he gate him into the shippe and returned backe agayne. 38 Then the man out of whom the devyls were departed besought him yt he myght be wt him: But Iesus sent him awaye sayinge: 39 Goo home agayne into thyne awne housse and shewe what great thinges God hath done to ye. And he went his waye and preached thorow out all the cite what great thinges Iesus had done vnto him. 40 And it fortuned when Iesus was come agayne that ye people receaved him. For they all wayted for him. 41 And beholde ther came a man named Iairus (and he was a ruler of ye synagoge) and he fell doune at Iesus fete and besought him yt he wolde come into his housse 42 for he had but a doughter only apon a twelve yere of age and she laye a dyinge. And as he went the people thronged him. 43 And a woman havynge an issue of bloud twelve yeres (which had spent all her substance amonge phisicios nether coulde be holpen of eny) 44 came behinde him and touched the hem of his garmet and immediatly her issue of bloud staunched. 45 And Iesus sayde: Who is it that touched me? when every man denyed Peter and they yt were with him sayde: Master the people thrust the and vexe the: and sayest thou who touched me? 46 And Iesus sayd: Some body touched me. For I perceave that vertue is gone out of me. 47 When the woman sawe that she was not hid she came trimblynge and fell at is fete and tolde him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she was healed immediatly. 48 And he sayde vnto hyr: Doughter be of good comforte Thy faith hath made the hoale goo in peace. 49 Whyll he yet spake there came one from ye rulers of the synagogis housse which sayde to him: thy doughter is deed disease not the master. 50 When Iesus hearde that He answered the father sayinge: Feare not beleve only and she shalbe made whole. 51 And when he came to ye housse he suffred no man to goo in with him save Peter Iames and Iohn and the father and the mother of the mayden. 52 Every body weept and sorowed for her. And he sayde: Wepe not: for she is not deed but slepeth. 53 And they lewgh him to scorne. For they knew that she was deed. 54 And he thrust the all out and caught her by the honde and cryed sayinge: Mayde aryse. 55 And hyr sprete came agayne and she roose strayght waye. And he commaunded to geve her meate. 56 And the father and the mother of hyr were astonyed. But he warned the that they shuld tell noo man what was done. Chapter 9 1 Then called he the .xii. to gether and gave them power and auctorite over all devyls and that they myght heale diseases. 2 And he sent them to preache the kyngdome of God and to cure the sick. 3 And he sayd to them: Take nothinge to sucker you by ye waye: nether staffe nor scripe nether breed nether money nether have twoo cootes. 4 And whatsoever housse ye enter into there abyde and thence departe.
5 And whosoever will not receave you when ye go out of that cite shake of the very dust from youre fete for a testimony agaynst them. 6 And they went out and went thorow the tounes preachinge the gospell and healynge every wheare. 7 And Herod the tetrarch herde of all that was done of him and douted because that it was sayde of some that Iohn was rysen agayne from deeth: 8 and of some that Helyas had apered: and of other that one of the olde prophetes was rysen agayne. 9 And Herod sayde: Iohn have I behedded: who then is this of whom I heare suche thinges? And he desyred to se him. 10 And the Apostles retourned and tolde him what great thinges they had done. And he toke them and went a syde into a solitary place nye to a citie called Bethsaida. 11 And ye people knewe of it and folowed him. And he receaved them and spake vnto them of the kyngdome of God and healed them that had nede to be healed. 12 And when ye daye beganne to weare awaye then came the twelve and sayde vnto him: sende ye people awaye that they maye goo into the tounes and villages roundabout and lodge and get meate for we are here in a place of wyldernes. 13 But he sayde vnto them: Geve ye the to eate. And they sayde. We have no moo but fyve loves and two fisshes except we shuld goo and bye meate for all this people. 14 And they were about a fyve thousand men. And he sayde to his disciples: Cause them to syt doune by fyfties in a company. 15 And they dyd soo and made them all syt doune. 16 And he toke the fyve loves and the two fisshes and loked vp to heven and blessed them and brake and gave to the disciples to set before ye people. 17 And they ate and were all satisfied. And ther was taken vp of that remayned to the twelve baskettes full of broken meate. 18 And it fortuned as he was alone prayinge his disciples were wt him and he axed the sayinge: Who saye ye people yt I am? 19 They answered and sayd: Iohn Baptist. Some saye Helyas. And some saye one of the olde prophetes is rysen agayne. 20 He sayde vnto the: Who saye ye that I am? Peter answered and sayde: thou arte the Christ of god. 21 And he warned and commaunded them that they shuld tell no man yt thinge 22 sayinge: that the sonne of man must suffre many thinges and be reproved of the elders and of the hye prestes and scribes and be slayne and the thirde daye ryse agayne. 23 And he sayde to them all yf eny man will come after me let him denye him sylfe and take vp his crosse dayly and folowe me. 24 Whosoever will save his lyfe shall lose it. And who soever shall lose his lyfe for my sake the same shall save it. 25 For what avauntageth it a man to wynne the whole worlde yf he loose him sylfe or runne in domage of him sylfe? 26 For whosoever is ashamed of me and of my sayinges: of him shall the sonne of man be ashamed when he cometh in his awne glorie and in the glorie of his father and of the holy angels. 27 And I tell you of a surety: There be some of the yt stonde here which shall not tast of deeth tyll they se ye kyngdome of god. 28 And it folowed about an .viii. dayes after thoose sayinges that he toke Peter Iames and Iohn and went vp into a moutayne to praye. 29 And as he prayed ye facion of his countenaunce was changed and his garment was whyte and shoone.
30 And beholde two men talked wt him and they were Moses and Helyas 31 which appered gloriously and spake of his departinge which he shuld ende at Ierusalem. 32 Peter and they that were with him were hevy with slepe. And when they woke they sawe his glorie and two men stondinge with him. 33 And it chaunsed as they departed fro him Peter sayde vnto Iesus: Master it is good beinge here for vs. Let vs make thre tabernacles one for the and one for Moses and one for Helyas: and wist not what he sayde. 34 Whyll he thus spake ther came a cloude and shadowed them: and they feared when they were come vnder the cloude. 35 And ther came a voyce out of the cloude sayinge: This is my deare sonne heare him. 36 And assone as ye voyce was past Iesus was founde alone. And they kept it cloose and tolde noo man in thoose dayes eny of those thinges which they had sene. 37 And it chaunsed on the nexte daye as they came doune from the hyll moche people met him. 38 And beholde a man of the copany cryed out sayinge: Master I beseche ye beholde my sonne for he is all that I have: 39 and se a sprete taketh him and sodenly he cryeth and he teareth him that he fometh agayne and with moche payne departeth fro him when he hath rent him and 40 I besought thy disciples to cast him out and they coulde not. 41 Iesus answered and sayde: O generacion with oute fayth and croked: how longe shall I be with you? and shall suffre you? Bringe thy sonne hidder. 42 As he yet was a cominge the fende ret him and tare him. And Iesus rebuked ye vnclene sprete and healed the childe and delivered him to his father. 43 And they were all amased at ye mighty power of God.Whyll they wondred every one at all thinges which he dyd he sayd vnto his disciples: 44 Let these sayinges synke doune into youre eares. The tyme will come when the sonne of man shalbe delivered into the hondes of men. 45 But they wist not what yt worde meant and yt was hyd fro the that they vnderstode yt not. And they feared to axe him of that sayinge. 46 Then ther arose a disputacion amoge the: who shuld be the greatest. 47 When Iesus perceaved ye thoughtes of their hertes he toke a chylde and set him hard by him 48 and sayd vnto the: Whosoever receaveth this chylde in my name receaveth me. And whosoever receaveth me receaveth him yt sent me. For he yt is least amonge you all the same shalbe greate. 49 And Iohn answered and sayde: Master we sawe one castinge out devyls in thy name and we forbade him because he foloweth not with vs. 50 And Iesus sayde vnto him: forbyd ye him not. For he that is not agaynst vs is wt vs. 51 And it folowed when the tyme was come yt he shulde be receaved vp then he set his face to goo to Hierusalem 52 and sent messengers before him. And they went and entred into a citie of the Samaritans to make redy for him. 53 But they wolde not receave him be cause his face was as though he wolde goo to Ierusalem. 54 When his disciples Iames and Iohn sawe yt they sayde: Lorde wilt thou that we comaunde that fyre come doune from heven and consume them even as Helias dyd? 55 Iesus turned about and rebuked them sayinge: ye wote not what maner sprete ye are of.
