A certaine man had a figge tree planted in his vineyarde, and he came, and sought fruite theron, and founde none ⁷ Then sayde he to the dresser of his vineyarde: Beholde, this three yere I haue come & sought fruite in this figge tree, and finde none: cut it downe, why cumbreth it the grounde ⁸ And he aunswered, & sayde vnto him: Lorde, let it alone this yere also, tyll I dygge rounde about it, & dongue it ⁹ And yf it beare fruite [thou mayest] let it alone: and yf it beare not then, after that shalt thou cut it downe ¹⁰ And he taught in one of their synagogues on the Sabboth dayes ¹¹ And beholde, there was a woman, which had a spirite of infirmitie eyghteene yeres, and was bowed together, and coulde in no wyse lyft vp her head ¹² When Iesus sawe her, he called her to hym, and sayde vnto her: Woman, thou art loosed from thy disease ¹³ And he layde his handes on her, and immediatly, she was made strayght, and glorified God ¹⁴ And the ruler of the synagogue aunswered with indignation, because that Iesus had healed on the Sabboth day, & sayde vnto the people: There are sixe dayes, in which men ought to worke, in them therfore come, that ye may be healed, and not on the Sabboth day ¹⁵ But the Lorde aunswered hym, and sayde: Thou hypocrite, doth not eche one of you on the Sabboth day, loose his oxe or his asse from the staule, and leade hym to the water ¹⁶ And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bounde, lo eyghteene yeres, be loosed from this bonde on the Sabboth day ¹⁷ And when he sayde these thynges, all his aduersaries were ashamed, and all the people reioyced on all the excellent deedes that were done by hym ¹⁸ Then sayde he: What is the kyngdome of God lyke? or whereto shall I compare it ¹⁹ It is like a grayne of mustarde seede, whiche a man toke & sowed in his garden: and it grewe, and waxed a great tree, and the foules of the ayre made nestes in the braunches of it ²⁰ And agayne he sayde: Whervnto shall I lyken the kyngdome of God ²¹ It is lyke leuen, which a woman toke, and hyd in three peckes of meale, tyll all was leuened ²² And he went through all cities and townes, teachyng, and iourneying towardes Hierusalem ²³ Then sayde one vnto hym: Lorde, are there fewe that be saued? And he sayde vnto them ²⁴ Stryue to enter in at the strayte gate: for many I say vnto you, wyll seke to enter in, and shall not be able ²⁵ When the good man of the house is risen vp, and hath shut to the doore, and ye begyn to stande without, & to knocke at the doore, saying, Lorde, Lorde, open vnto vs: and he shall aunswere, and say vnto you, I knowe you not whence ye are ²⁶ Then shall ye begyn to say: We haue eaten and dronken in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streates ²⁷ And he shall say, I tell you, I knowe you not, whence ye are: depart from me all ye that worke iniquitie ²⁸ There shalbe weepyng & gnasshyng of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Iacob, and all the prophetes, in the kyngdome of God, and ye your selues thrust out ²⁹ 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 ³⁰ And beholde, there are last, which shalbe first: And there are first, which shalbe last ³¹ The same day, came there certaine of the pharisees, and sayde vnto hym: Get thee out, and depart hence, for Herode wyll kyll thee ³² And he sayde vnto them: Go ye, and tell that foxe, beholde, I cast out deuyls, & heale the people to day & to morowe, and the thirde day I shalbe perfected ³³ Neuerthelesse, I must walke to day and to morowe, and the day folowyng: For it can not be, that a prophete perishe any other where, saue at Hierusalem ³⁴ O Hierusalem, Hierusalem, which kyllest prophetes, and stonest them that are sent vnto thee, howe often woulde I haue gathered thy children together, as a henne doth gather her young vnder her wynges, and ye woulde not ³⁵ Beholde, your house is left vnto you desolate.
