1 Then came vnto him the scribes and pharises from Ierusalem, sayenge:
2 Why do thy disciples transgresse ye tradicions of the elders? for they wash not their hodes whan they eate bred.
3 He answered & sayde vnto the: Why do ye transgresse the comaundemet of God, because of youre owne tradicios?
4 For God comaunded, sayege: Honoure father & mother: & he yt curseth father & mother, shal dye the death.
5 But ye saye: Euery man shal saye to father or mother: The thige yt I shulde helpe ye withal, is geue vnto God.
6 By this is it come to passe, that no man honoureth his father or his mother eny more. And thus haue ye made the comaundement of God of none effecte, for youre owne tradicios.
7 Ye ypocrites, full well hath Esaye prophecied of you, & sayde:
8 This people draweth nye vnto me wt their mouth, & honoureth me wt their lippes, howbeit, their hert is farre fro me.
9 But in vayne do they serue me, whyle they teach soch doctrynes as are nothinge but the commaundementes of men.
10 And he called ye people to hi, & saide vnto the: Heare & vnderstode:
11 That which goeth in to the mouth, defyleth not the ma: but yt which cometh out of the mouth, defyleth ye ma.
12 Then came his disciples, & sayde vnto him: knowest thou yt the Pharises were offended, whan they herde this sayenge?
13 He answered, and sayde: All plantes which my heauenly father hath not planted, shal be pluckte vp by ye rotes.
14 Let the go, they are ye blynde leaders of ye blynde. Wha one blinde leadeth another, they fall both i ye diche.
15 Then answered Peter & sayde vnto him: Declare vnto us this parable.
16 And Iesus sayde vnto the: Are ye yet the without vnderstondinge?
17 Perceaue ye not, yt what soeuer goeth in at ye mouth, descedeth downe in to ye bely, & is cast out into the draught?
18 But the thinge that proceadeth out of the mouth, cometh fro ye hert, & that defyleth ye ma.
19 For out of ye hert come euell thoughtes murthur, breakynge of wedlocke, whordome theft, false witnesse, blasphemy.
20 These are ye thinges that defyle a man. But to eate wt vnwasshen hondes, defyleth not a man.
21 And Iesus wente out from thence, & departed in to the coastes of Tyre of Sidon.
22 And beholde, a woma of Canaan wete out of ye same coastes, & cried after him, sayege: O LORDE, thou sonne of Dauid, haue mercy vpon me. My doughter is sore vexed wt a deuell.
23 And he answered her neuer a worde. The came his disciples vnto him, & besought him, sayege: Sede her awaye, for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered, & saide: I am not sent, but vnto the lost shepe of the house of Israel.
25 Notwithstondinge she came & fell downe before him, & sayde: LORDE, helpe me.
26 He answered & sayde: It is not good, to take the childrens bred, & to cast it vnto dogges.
27 It is trueth LORDE (sayde she) Neuertheles the whelpes eate of the crommes, that fall fro their lordes table.
28 Then answered Iesus & sayde vnto her: O woma, greate is yi faith be it vnto the, eue as thou desyrest. And hir doughter was made hole at ye same houre.
29 And Iesus departed thece, and came nye vnto the see of Galile, and wente vp in to a mountayne, and sat downe there,
30 And there came vnto him moch people, hauinge with them, lame, blynde, dome, crepell, and other many, and cast them downe at Iesus fete. And he healed the,
31 in so moch that the people wodred, to se the dome speake, the crepell whole, the halt to go, & the blynde to se. And they praysed the God of Israel.
32 And Iesus called his disciples vnto him, & sayde: I haue copassion vpon the people, for they haue cotynued wt me now thre dayes, & haue nothinge to eate, & I wil not let the departe fastynge, lest they perishe in ye waye.
33 And his disciples sayde vnto him: Whence shulde we get so moch bred in the wyldernes, that we might satissfie so moch people?
34 And Iesus sayde vnto the: How many loaues haue ye? They sayde: seue, & a few litle fyshes.
35 And he comaunded ye people to syt downe vpo the grounde,
36 and toke ye seue loaues, & the fyshes, & gaue thankes & brake the, & gaue the to his disciples, & ye disciples gaue the vnto the people.
37 And they all ate, & were suffised. And they toke vp of the broke meate yt was left, seuen basskettes full.
38 And they yt ate, were foure thousande me, besyde wemen and children.
39 And whan he had sent awaye the people, he wente in to a shippe, & came in to the parties of Magdala.
16 1 Then came the Pharises & Saduces vnto him, & tepted him, requyringe him to shewe the a toke from heaue.
2 But he answered, & sayde: At eue ye saye: It wil be fayre wedder. for ye sskye is reed.
3 And in ye mornynge, ye saye: It wil be foule wedder to daye, for the sskye is reed, & gloometh. O ye ypocrytes, ye can discerne the fashion of ye sskye: can ye not the discerne the tokes of these tymes also?
4 This euell and aduouterous generacio seketh a toke, & there shal no toke be geue the, but the toke of ye prophet Ionas. So he left the, and departed.
5 And wha his disciples were come to the other syde of the water, they had forgotten to take bred wt them.
6 Iesus sayde vnto the: Take hede & bewarre of the leue of ye Pharises & of the Saduces.
7 The thought they in the selues, sayege: We haue take no bred wt us.
8 Whe Iesus perceaued yt, he sayde to the: O ye of litle faith, why are ye combred (in yor mindes (because ye haue take no bred wt you?
9 Do ye not yet perceaue? Remembre ye not those fyue loaues, whe there were fyue thousande me, and how many basskettes toke ye vp?
10 Nether ye seue loaues whan there were foure thousande men, & how many baskettes toke ye vp?
11 Why perceaue ye not then, yt I spake not to you of bred, whe I saide: bewarre of ye leue of ye Pharises & of ye Saduces?
12 The vnderstode they, how yt he had not the bewarre of the leue of bred, but of ye doctryne of the Pharises and of the Saduces.
13 Then came Iesus into the coastes of the cite Cesarea Philippi, & axed his disciples & saide: Who do me saie, yt ye sonne of ma is?
14 They sayde: Some saye, yt thou art Iho the baptist, Some yt thou art Elias, Some yt thou art Ieremy, or one of ye prophetes.
15 He saide to the: But who saye ye yt I am.
16 The answered Symo Peter and saide: Thou art Christ ye sonne of ye lyuinge God.
17 And Iesus answered, & saide vnto hi: Blessed art thou Symo ye sonne of Ionas, for flesh & bloude hath not opened yt vnto the, but my father yt is in heaue.
18 And I saie to ye: Thou art Peter, & vpo this rocke wil I builde my cogregacion: and ye gates of hell shal not preuayle agaynst it.
19 And the keyes of heauen wil I geue vnto the: Whatsoeuer thou shalt bynde vpon earth, shalbe bounde also in heauen: & whatsoeuer thou shalt lowse vpon earth, shalbe lowsed also in heaue.
20 Then charged he his disciples, that they shulde tell no ma that he was Iesus Christ.
21 From that tyme forth beganne Iesus to shew vnto his disciples, how that he must go vnto Ierusale, and suffre many thinges of the elders, and of the hye prestes, and of the scrybes, and be put to death, and ryse againe the thirde daye.
22 But Peter toke him asyde, and beganne to rebuke him, sayenge: LORDE, fauoure thy self, let not this happen vnto the.
23 Neuertheles he turned him aboute, & sayde vnto Peter: Auoyde fro me Satha, thou hindrest me, for thou sauourest not ye thinges that be of God, but of men.
24 Then sayde Iesus vnto his disciples: Yf eny man wil folowe me, let him forsake himself, & take vp his crosse, and folowe me.
25 For who so wil saue his life, shal lose it: but whoso loseth his life for my sake, shal fynde it.
26 What helpeth it a man though he wanne the whole worlde, and yet suffred harme in his soule? Or what can a man geue, to redeme his soule withall?
27 For it wil come to passe, that the sonne of ma shal come in the glory of his father with his angels, and then shal he rewarde euery one acordinge to his dedes.
28 Verely I saye vnto you: there stonde here some, which shal not taist of death, tyll they se ye sonne of ma come in his kingdome.
17 1 And after sixe dayes Iesus toke Peter Iames, and Ihon his brother, and brought them vp in to an hye mountayne out of the waye,
2 and was transfigured before the: & his face shone as ye Sonne, and his clothes were as white as the light.
3 And beholde, there appeared vnto the Moses and Elias talkinge with him.
4 Then answered Peter, and sayde vnto Iesus: LORDE, here is good beynge for us. Yf thou wilt, let us make here thre tabernacles: one for the, one for Moses, and one for Elias.
5 Whyle he yet spake, beholde, a bright cloude ouershadowed them: and lo, there came a voyce out of the cloude, saienge: This is my deare sonne, in whom I delyte, heare him.
6 Whan ye disciples herde that, they fell vpon their faces, and were sore afrayed.
7 But Iesus came and touched them, and sayde: Aryse, and be not afrayed.
8 And whan they loked vp, they sawe no man, but Iesus onely.
9 And wha they came downe fro ye mountayne, Iesus charged them, and sayde: Tell no man of this vision, tyll the sonne of man be rysen agayne from ye deed.
10 And his disciples axed him, and sayde: Why saye the scrybes then, that Elias must first come?
11 Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: Elias shall come first in dede, and bringe all thinges to right agayne.
12 But I saye vnto you: Elias is come all ready, & they knewe him not, but haue done vnto him what they wolde. Eue so shal also the sonne of man suffre of them.
13 Then the disciples perceaued, that he spake vnto them of Ihon the baptist.
14 And whan they were come to the people, there came vnto him a certayne man, and kneled vnto him, and sayde:
15 LORDE, haue mercy vpon my sonne, for he is lunatike, & sore vexed. He falleth oft tymes in to ye fyre, and oft in to ye water:
16 and I brought him vnto thy disciples, and they coude not heale him.
17 Iesus answered, and sayde: O thou faithles and frowarde generacion, how longe shal I be with you? How longe shal I suffre you? Bringe him hither to me.
18 And Iesus rebuked him, and ye deuyll wete out of him, and ye childe was healed, euen that same houre.
19 Then came the disciples vnto Iesus secretly, & sayde: Why coude not we cast him out?
20 Iesus sayde vnto them: Because of youre vnbeleue. For I saye verely vnto you? Yf ye haue faith as a grane of mustarde sede, ye maye saye vnto this mountayne: Remoue hence to yonder place, and he shal remoue, nether shal enythinge be vnpossible vnto you.
21 How beit this kinde goeth not out, but by prayer and fastynge.
22 Whyle they occupied in Galile, Iesus sayde vnto them: it wil come to passe, that the sonne of man shalbe delyuered in to the hondes of men,
23 and they shal kyll him, and the thirde daye shal he aryse agayne. And they were very sory.
24 Now wha they were come to Capernaum, they that receaued ye tribute money, came to Peter, and sayde: Doth youre master paye tribute?
25 He sayed: yee. And when he was come home, Iesus preuented him, and sayde: What thinkest thou Symon? Of whom do the kynges of the earth take toll or tribute? Of their children, or of straungers?
26 Then sayde Peter to him: Of straungers. Iesus sayde vnto him: Then are ye children fre.
27 Neuertheles lest we offende them, go thy waye to the see, and cast thine angle, and take the fysh that first cometh vp, and whan thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt fynde a pece of twenty pens, take that, and geue it them for me and the.
18 1 At the same tyme came the disciples vnto Iesus, and sayde: Who is the greatest in the kyngdome of heauen?
2 And Iesus called a childe vnto him, and set him in the myddest amonge them,
3 and sayde: Verely I saye vnto you: Excepte ye turne and become as children, ye shal not entre into the kyngdome of heauen.
4 Whosoeuer therfore humbleth him self as this childe, ye same is the greatest in ye kyngdome of heauen.
5 And who so receaueth soch a childe in my name, receaueth me.
6 But who so offendeth one of these litle ones which beleue in me, it were better for him, that a mylstone were hanged aboute his neck, and he drowned in the depth of the see.
7 Wo vnto the worlde because of slauders. Yee there must slaunders come: but wo vnto that man, by whom slaunder commeth.
8 But yf thy hande or thy fote offende the, cut him of, and cast him from the. It is better for ye to entre in vnto life lame or crepell, the yt thou shuldest haue two hodes or two fete, and be cast in to euerlastinge fyre.
9 And yf thyne eye offende the, plucke it out, & cast it from the. Better it is for the to entre in vnto life with one eye, the to haue two eyes, and to be cast in to hell fyre.
10 Take hede, yt ye despyse not one of these litle ones. For I saye vnto you: their angels do alwaye beholde the face of my father which is in heauen:
11 for the sonne of man is come to saue that which is lost.
12 How thinke ye? Yf a man haue an hundreth shepe, and one of the be gone astraye, doth not he leaue the nyentie and nyene in the mountaynes, and goeth, and seketh that one which is gone astraye?
13 And yf it happen that he fynde it, verely I saye vnto you: he reioyseth more ouer it, then ouer the nyentie & nyene which wete not astraye.
14 Euen so is it not the will before youre father in heauen, that one of these litle ones shulde perishe.
15 Yf thy brother trespace agaynst the, go and tell him his faute betwene the and him alone. Yf he heare the, thou hast wone thy brother.
16 But yf he heare the not, then take yet with the one or two, that in the mouth of two or thre wytnesses, euery matter maye be stablyshed.
17 Yf he heare not them, tell it vnto the congregacion. Yf he heare not the cogregacion, holde him as an Heithen and Publican.
18 Verely I saye vnto you: what soeuer ye shal bynde vpon earth, shalbe boude also in heauen: & what soeuer ye lowse vpon earth, shalbe lowsed also in heaue.
19 Agayne, I saye vnto you: Yf two of you shal agree vpon earth (for what thinge soeuer it be yt they wolde desyre) they shal haue it of my father which is in heaue.
20 For where two or thre are gathered together i my name, there am I in the myddest amonge them.
21 Then came Peter vnto him, & sayde, LORDE, how oft shal I forgeue my brother, yt trespaceth agaynst me? Seue tymes?
22 Iesus saide vnto hi: I saye not vnto ye seue tymes, but seuetie tymes seuen tymes.
23 Therfore is ye kingdome of heaue lickened vnto a kynge which wolde reken wt his seruauntes.
24 And whan he beganne to reke, one was brought vnto him, which ought him ten thousande poude.
25 Now wha he had nothinge to paye his lorde comaunded him to be solde, & his wife & his childre, & all yt he had, & payment to be made.
26 Then the seruaunt fell downe, & besought him, sayenge: Syr, haue paciece wt me, and I wil paye the all.
27 Then had the lorde pytie on that seruaunt, & discharged him, and forgaue him the dett.
28 And the same seruaunt wete out, & foude one of his felowes, which ought him an hudreth pens, and layed hande vpon him, and toke him by the throte, and sayde: paye me that thou owest.
29 The his felowe fell downe, and besought him, sayenge: haue paciece wt me, and I wil paye the all
30 Neuertheles, he wolde not, but wente and cast him in to preson, tyll he shulde paye the dett.
31 Whan his felowes sawe what was done, they were very sory, and came and tolde their lorde all that had happened.
32 Then his lorde called for him, and sayde vnto him: O thou wicked seruaut, I forgaue the all this dett, because thou praydest me:
33 shuldest not thou then haue had compassion also vpon thy felowe, euen as I had pytie vpon the?
34 And his lorde was wroth, and delyuered him vnto the iaylers, tyll he payed all that he ought.
35 So shal my heauenly father do also vnto you, yf ye euery one of you fro youre hertes, forgeue not his brother his trespaces.
19 1 And it came to passe, wha Iesus had ended these sayenges, he gat him fro Galile, & came i to ye coastes of Iewry beyonde Iordane,
2 & moch people folowed him, and he healed them there.
