28 But he sayde: Yee, happy are they that heare the worde of God and kepe it.
29 When the people were gathered thicke together, he began to saye. This is an euyll nacion. they seke a sygne, and ther shall no sygne be geuen them, but the sygne of Ionas the prophet.
30 For as Ionas was a sygne to the Niniuytes, so shall also the sonne of man be to thys nacion.
31 The quene of the south shall ryse at the iudgement, with the men of this nacion, and condempne them: for she came from the vttemost partes of the erth, to heare the wisdome of Salomon. And beholde a greater then Salomon is here.
32 The men of Niniue shall ryse at the iudgement with this nacyon: and shall condempne them: for they were brought to repentaunce by the preachynge of Ionas. And beholde, a greater then Ionas is here.
33 No man lyghteth a candell, and putteth it in a preuy place, nether vnder a busshell: but on a candelstycke, that they which come in, maye se the light.
34 The lyght of the body is the eye. Therfore, when thyne eye is syngle, all thy body also shalbe full of lyght. But yf thyne eye be euill, thy body also shalbe full of darknes,
35 Take hede therfore, that the lyght which is in the, be not darcknes.
36 Yf all thy body therfore be cleare, hauynge no parte darcke: then shal it all be full of light, euen as when a candell doeth lyght the with bryghtnes.
37 And as he spake, a certayne Pharyse besought him, to dyne with him, and Iesus went in, and sate doune to meate.
38 When the Pharyse sawe it, he marueyled, that he had not fyrst wesshed before dyner.
39 And the Lorde sayde vnto him: Now do ye Pharises, make clene the out syde of the cup, and the platter: but youre inwarde parte is full of rauenynge and wyckednes.
40 Ye fooles, dyd not he (that made that which is without) make that which is within also?
41 Neuerthelesse, geue almose of that ye haue, and behold, all thinges are cleane vnto you.
42 But wo vnto you Pharises, for ye tythe mynt and rewe, and all manner erbes, and passe ouer iudgement and the loue of God. These ought ye to haue done, and yet not to leaue the other vndone.
43 Wo vnto you Pharises: for ye loue the vppermost seates in the sinagoges, and gretinges in the market.
44 Wo vnto you scrybes and Pharises, ye ypocrites, for ye are as graues which appeare not, and the men that walke ouer them, are not ware of them.
45 Then answered one of the lawears, and sayde vnto him: Master, thus saying thou puttest vs to rebuke also.
46 And he sayde: wo vnto you also ye lawers: for ye lade men with burthens which they be not not able to beare: and ye youre selues touche not the packes with one of youre fyngers.
47 Wo vnto you: ye buylde the sepulchres of the Prophetes, and youre fathers kylled them,
48 truly ye beare witnes, that ye alowe the dedes of youre fathers: for they kylled them, and ye buylde their sepulchres.
49 Therfore sayde the wisdome of God, I will send them Prophetes and Apostles and some of them they shall slaye and persecute:
50 that the bloude of all Prophetes (which is shed from the begynninge of the worlde) maye be required of this generacion,
51 from the bloude of Abell, vnto the bloud of Zachary, which perished betwene the aulter and the temple. Uerely I saye vnto you: it shalbe required of this nacion.
52 Wo vnto you lawears: for ye haue taken awaye the keye of knowledge, ye entred not in youre selues, and them that came in, ye forbad.
53 When he thus spake vnto them, the lawears and the Pharises began to wexe busye aboute him, and capciously to aske him many thinges,
54 layinge wayte for him, and sekynge to catche some thinge of his mouth, wherby they might accuse him.
