And they gathered vp (of the fragmentes that remayned) twelue baskets full ²¹ And they that had eaten, were about fyue thousande men, besyde women and chyldren ²² And strayghtway Iesus constrayned his disciples to get vp into a shippe, and to go before hym vnto the other syde, whyle he sent the people away ²³ And when the people were sent away, he went vp into a mountayne alone to pray: And when nyght was come, he was there hym selfe alone ²⁴ But the shippe was nowe in the middes of the sea, & was tost with waues: for it was a contrary wynde ²⁵ And in the fourth watch of the nyght, Iesus went vnto them, walkyng on the sea ²⁶ And when the disciples sawe hym walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, it is a spirite: and they cryed out for feare ²⁷ But strayght way, Iesus spake vnto them, saying: be of good cheare, it is I, be not afrayde ²⁸ Peter aunswered hym, and sayde: Lorde, yf it be thou, byd me come vnto thee, on the water ²⁹ And he sayde: come.

And thus haue ye made the commaundement of God, of none effect, by your tradition ⁷ Hypocrites, full well dyd Esayas prophecie of you, saying ⁸ This people draweth nye vnto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lippes: howbeit, their hearts are farre from me ⁹ But in vayne do they worshippe me, teachyng doctrine, preceptes of men ¹⁰ And he called the people to hym, and sayde vnto them: heare, & vnderstande ¹¹ That which goeth into the mouth, defyleth not the man: but that which commeth out of the mouth, defyleth the man ¹² Then came his disciples, and sayde vnto hym: knowest thou not, that the Pharisees were offended after they hearde this saying ¹³ But he aunswered and sayde: Euery plantyng which my heauenly father hath not planted, shalbe rooted vp ¹⁴ Let them alone, they be the blynde leaders of the blynde. If the blynde leade the blynde, both shall fall into the dytche ¹⁵ Then aunswered Peter, and sayde vnto hym: Declare vnto vs this parable ¹⁶ Iesus sayde: Are ye also without vnderstandyng ¹⁷ Do not ye yet vnderstande, that whatsoeuer entreth in at the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught ¹⁸ But those thynges which proceade out of the mouth, come foorth from the heart, and they defyle the man ¹⁹ For out of the heart, proceade euyll thoughtes, murders, adulteries, whordomes, theftes, false witnesse, blasphemyes ²⁰ These are the thynges, which defyle a man: But to eate with vnwasshen handes, defyleth not a man ²¹ And Iesus went thence, and departed into the coastes of Tyre and Sidon ²² And beholde, a woman of the Chananites, which came out of the same coastes, cryed vnto hym, saying: Haue mercie on me O Lorde, thou sonne of Dauid: My daughter is greeuously vexed with a deuyll ²³ But he aunswered her not a worde: and his disciples came, and besought hym, saying: sende her away, for she cryeth after vs ²⁴ But he aunswered, and sayde: I am not sent but vnto the lost sheepe of the house of Israel ²⁵ Then came she, and worshipped him, saying: Lorde, helpe me ²⁶ He aunswered, and sayde: it is not meete to take the chyldrens bread, and to cast it to litle dogges ²⁷ She aunswered and sayde, trueth Lorde: and yet litle dogges eate of the crummes, which fall fro their maisters table ²⁸ Then Iesus aunswered, and sayde vnto her: O woman, great is thy fayth, be it vnto thee, euen as thou wylt. And her daughter was made whole, euen from that same tyme ²⁹ And Iesus went from thence, and came nye vnto the sea of Galilee, and went vp into a mountayne, and sate downe there ³⁰ And great multitudes came vnto him, hauyng with them those that were lame, blynde, dumbe, maymed, & other many, and cast them downe at Iesus feete: And he healed them ³¹ In so much that the people wondred, when they sawe the dumbe speake, the maymed to be whole, the lame to walke, and the blynde to see: And they glorified the God of Israel ³² Then Iesus called his disciples vnto hym, and sayde: I haue compassion on the people, because they continue with me nowe three dayes, and haue nothing to eate: and I wyll not let them depart fastyng, lest they faynt in the way ³³ And his disciples say vnto hym: whence [shoulde we get] so much bread in the wyldernesse, as to suffise so great a multitude ³⁴ And Iesus sayeth vnto them: howe many loaues haue ye? And they say, seuen, and a fewe litle fisshes ³⁵ And he commaunded the people to sit downe on the grounde ³⁶ And toke the seuen loaues, and the fisshes: and after that he had geuen thankes, he brake them, and gaue to his disciples, and the disciples gaue them to the people ³⁷ And they dyd all eate, and were suffised: And they toke vp, of the broken meate that was left, seuen baskets full ³⁸ And yet they that did eate, were foure thousande men, besyde women and chyldren ³⁹ And he sent away the people, and toke shippe, and came into the parties of Magdala ¹⁶ ¹ The Pharisees also, with the Saducees, came, and temptyng, desired hym that he woulde shewe them a signe from heauen ² He aunswered & sayde vnto them: when it is euenyng, ye say, [it wyll be] fayre weather: for the sky is redde ³ And in the mornyng, It wyll be foule weather to day: for the sky is lowryng redde. O ye hypocrites, ye can discerne the outwarde appearaunce of the sky: but can ye not discerne the signes of the tymes ⁴ The froward and adulterous nation requireth a signe: and there shall no signe be geuen vnto it, but the signe of the prophete Ionas. And he left them, and departed ⁵ And when his disciples were come to the other syde of the water, they had forgotten to take bread [with them] ⁶ Then Iesus sayde vnto them: Take heede and beware of the leuen of the Pharisees, and of the Saducees ⁷ And they thought in them selues, saying: for we haue taken no bread [with vs] ⁸ Which when Iesus vnderstoode, he sayde vnto them: O ye of little fayth, why thynke you within your selues, because ye haue brought no bread ⁹ Do ye not yet perceaue, neither remember those fyue loaues, when there were fyue thousande [men], and howe many baskets toke ye vp ¹⁰ Neither the seuen loaues, when there were foure thousande [men], and howe many baskets toke ye vp ¹¹ Howe is it that ye do not vnderstande, that I spake it not vnto you concernyng bread, [warnyng you] that ye shoulde beware of the leuen of the Pharisees, and of the Saducees ¹² Then vnderstoode they, howe that he bad not them beware of the leuen of bread: but of the doctrine of the Pharisees, and of the Saducees ¹³ When Iesus came into the coastes of Cesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that I the sonne of man am ¹⁴ They sayde: some say [that thou art] Iohn Baptist, some Helias, some Ieremias, or one of the prophetes ¹⁵ He sayth vnto them: but whom say ye that I am ¹⁶ Simon Peter aunswered and sayde: Thou art Christe, the sonne of the lyuyng God ¹⁷ And Iesus aunswered, and sayde vnto hym: happy art thou Simon Bar Iona, for flesh & blood hath not opened [that] vnto thee, but my father which is in heauen ¹⁸ And I say also vnto thee, that thou art Peter, and vpon this rocke I wyll buylde my congregation: And the gates of hell shall not preuayle agaynst it ¹⁹ And I wyll geue vnto thee, the keyes of the kingdome of heauen: And whatsoeuer thou byndest in earth, shalbe bounde in heauen: and whatsoeuer thou loosest in earth, shalbe loosed in heauen ²⁰ Then charged he his disciples, that they shoulde tell no man, that he was Iesus Christe ²¹ From that tyme foorth, began Iesus to shewe vnto his disciples, howe that he must go vnto Hierusalem, and suffer many thynges of the elders, and hye priestes, & scribes, and [must] be kylled, and be raysed agayne the thyrde day ²² And when Peter had taken him aside, he began to rebuke hym, saying: Lorde, fauour thy selfe, this shall not be vnto thee ²³ But he turned hym about, and sayde vnto Peter: go after me Satan, thou art an offence vnto me: for thou sauerest not the thynges that be of God, but those that be of men ²⁴ Then sayde Iesus vnto his disciples: If any man wyll folowe me, let hym forsake him selfe, and take vp his crosse, and folowe me ²⁵ For, who so wyll saue his lyfe, shall lose it: Agayne, who so doth lose his lyfe for my sake, shall fynde it ²⁶ For what doth it profite a man, yf he wynne all the whole worlde, and lose his owne soule? Or what shall a man geue for a raunsome of his soule ²⁷ For the sonne of man shall come in the glory of his father, with his Angels: and then shall he rewarde euery man accordyng to his workes ²⁸ Ueryly I say vnto you, there be some standyng here, which shall not taste of death, tyll they see the sonne of man come in his kyngdome ¹⁷ ¹ And after sixe dayes, Iesus taketh Peter, Iames, and Iohn his brother, and bryngeth them vp into an hye mountayne, out of the way ² And was transfigured before them, and his face did shyne as the sunne, and his clothes were as whyte as the lyght ³ And beholde, there appeared vnto them, Moyses, and Elias talkyng with hym ⁴ Then aunswered Peter, and sayde vnto Iesus: Lorde, it is good for vs to be here. If thou wylt, let vs make here three tabernacles: one for thee, and one for Moyses, and one for Elias ⁵ Whyle he yet spake, beholde, a bryght cloude shadowed them: And beholde, [there came] a voyce out of the cloude, which sayde, this is my beloued sonne in whom I am well pleased, heare hym ⁶ And when the disciples hearde [these thynges] they fell on their face, and were sore afrayde ⁷ And Iesus came, and touched them, and sayde: aryse, and be not afrayde ⁸ And when they had lyft vp their eyes, they sawe no man, saue Iesus only ⁹ And when they came downe from the mountayne, Iesus charged them, saying: shewe the vision to no man, vntyll the sonne of man be rysen agayne from the dead ¹⁰ And his disciples asked hym, saying: Why then say the scribes, that Elias must first come ¹¹ Iesus aunswered, & sayde vnto them: Elias truely shall first come, and restore all thynges ¹² But I say vnto you, that Elias is come alredy, and they knewe hym not, but haue done vnto hym, whatsoeuer they lusted ¹³ Lykewyse, shall also the sonne of man suffer of them. Then the disciples vnderstode, that he spake vnto them of Iohn Baptist ¹⁴ And when they were come to the people, there came to hym a certayne man, knelyng downe to hym, and saying ¹⁵ Lorde, haue mercy on my sonne, for he is lunaticke, and sore vexed: for oft tymes he falleth into the fyre, and oft into the water ¹⁶ And I brought hym to thy disciples, and they coulde not heale hym ¹⁷ Iesus aunswered and sayde: O faythlesse and croked nation, howe long shall I be with you? howe long shal I suffer you? bryng hym hyther to me ¹⁸ And Iesus rebuked the deuyll, and he departed out of hym: And the chylde was healed euen that same tyme ¹⁹ Then came the disciples to Iesus secretely, and sayde: why coulde not we cast hym out ²⁰ Iesus sayde vnto them: because of your vnbeliefe. For veryly I say vnto you: If ye haue fayth as a grayne of mustarde seede, ye shall say vnto this mountayne: remoue hence to yonder place, and it shall remoue, neither shall any thyng be vnpossible vnto you ²¹ Howebeit, this kynde goeth not out, but by prayer and fastyng ²² Whyle they were occupyed in Galilee, Iesus sayde vnto them: it wyll come to passe, that the sonne of man shalbe betrayed into the handes of men ²³ And they shall kyll hym, & the thyrde day shall he ryse agayne: And they were exceadyng sory ²⁴ And when they were come to Capernaum, they that receaued tribute money, came to Peter, and sayde: Doth not your maister pay tribute ²⁵ He sayth: yes. And when he was come into the house, Iesus preuented hym, saying: What thynkest thou Simon? of whom do the kynges of the earth take tribute or toule? of the chyldren, or of straungers ²⁶ Peter sayth vnto hym: of straungers. Iesus sayth vnto hym: Then are the chyldren free ²⁷ Notwithstandyng, lest we shoulde offende them, go thou to the sea, and cast an angle, and take the fisshe that first commeth vp: and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt fynde a peece of twenty pence: that take, and geue it vnto them for me, and thee ¹⁸ ¹ At the same time, came the disciples vnto Iesus, saying: Who is the greatest in ye kyngdome of heauen ² Iesus called a litle chylde vnto hym, and set hym in the myddest [of them] ³ And sayde. Ueryly I say vnto you: except ye turne, and become as litle chyldren, ye shall not enter into the kyngdome of heauen ⁴ Whosoeuer therfore shall humble hym selfe as this litle chylde, the same is ye greatest in the kingdome of heauen ⁵ And who so shall receaue such a litle chylde in my name, receaueth me ⁶ But who so shall offende one of these litle ones, which beleue in me, it were better for hym, that a myll stone were hanged about his necke, & that he were drowned in the deapth of the sea ⁷ Wo vnto the worlde, because of offences. It must nedes be, that offences come: But wo to that man, by whom the offence commeth ⁸ If then thy hande or thy foote offende thee, cut them of, and cast [them] from thee. It is better for thee to enter into lyfe, halt or maymed, [rather] then thou shouldest, hauyng two handes, or two feete, be cast into euerlastyng fyre ⁹ And yf thyne eye offende thee, plucke it out, and cast [it] from thee: It is better for thee to enter into lyfe with one eye, [rather] then, hauyng two eyes, to be cast into hell fyre ¹⁰ Take heede that ye despise not one of these litle ones: For I say vnto you, that in heaue their Angels do alwayes beholde the face of my father, which is in heauen ¹¹ For the sonne of man, is come to saue that which was lost ¹² Howe thynke ye? If a man haue an hundred sheepe, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leaue ninetie & nine, and goeth into the mountaynes, and seketh that which went astray ¹³ And yf it so be that he fynde it, veryly I say vnto you, he reioyceth more of that sheepe, then of the ninetie and nine, which went not astray ¹⁴ Euen so, it is not the wyll of your father in heauen, that one of these litle ones shoulde peryshe ¹⁵ Moreouer, yf thy brother trespas agaynst thee, go and tell hym his faulte betwene thee and hym alone: If he heare thee, thou hast wonne thy brother ¹⁶ But yf he heare thee not, then take yet with thee one or two: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses, euery worde may be stablyshed ¹⁷ If he heare not them, tell it vnto the Churche: If he heare not the Churche, let hym be vnto thee as an Heathen man, and a publicane ¹⁸ Ueryly I say vnto you: Whatsoeuer ye bynde on earth, shalbe bounde in heauen: And whatsoeuer ye loose on earth, shalbe loosed in heauen ¹⁹ Agayne, truely I say vnto you, that if two of you agree in earth, as touching any thyng that they shall aske, it shalbe done for them, of my father, which is in heauen ²⁰ For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the myddes of them ²¹ Then came Peter to hym, and sayde: Lorde howe oft shall my brother sinne agaynst me, and I forgeue hym? tyll seuen tymes ²² Iesus sayth vnto hym, I say not vnto thee vntyll seuen tymes: but, vntyll seuentie tymes seuen ²³ Therfore is the kyngdome of heauen, lykened vnto a certayne man, that was a kyng, which woulde take accomptes of his seruauntes ²⁴ And when he had begunne to recken, one was brought vnto hym, which ought hym ten thousande talentes ²⁵ But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his Lorde commaunded hym to be solde, and his wyfe, and chyldren, and all that he had, and payment to be made ²⁶ The seruaunt fell downe, & besought hym, saying: Lorde, haue pacience with me, and I wyll pay thee all ²⁷ Then the Lorde of that seruaunt, moued with pitie, loosed hym, and forgaue hym the debt ²⁸ But the same seruaunt went out, and founde one of his felowes, which ought hym an hundred pence: and he layde handes on hym, and toke hym by the throte, saying: pay me that thou owest ²⁹ And his felowe fel downe at his feete, and besought him, saying: haue pacience with me, and I wyll pay thee all ³⁰ And he woulde not: but went, and cast hym into prison, tyll he shoulde pay the debt ³¹ So, when his felowes sawe what was done, they were very sory: & came, and tolde vnto their Lorde all that was done ³² Then his Lorde called hym, and sayd vnto him: O thou vngracious seruaunt, I forgaue thee all that debt, when thou desiredst me ³³ Shouldest not thou also, haue had compassion on thy felowe, euen as I had pitie on thee ³⁴ And his Lorde was wroth, and delyuered hym to the tormentours, tyll he shoulde pay all that was due vnto him ³⁵ So lykewyse, shall my heauenly father do also vnto you, yf ye from your heartes, forgeue not, euery one his brother, their trespasses ¹⁹ ¹ And it came to passe, that when Iesus had finished these sayinges, he gat hym from Galilee, and came into the coastes of Iurie, beyonde Iordane ² And great multitudes folowed hym: and he healed them there
