Matthew(i)
18 And when they sawe him a farre of before he came at them, they toke councell agaynst him, for to sley him,
19 and sayd one to another, Beholde thys dreamer cometh,
20 come nowe and let vs sley hym and caste hym in to some pytt, and let vs saye that some wycked beast hath deuoured him, and let vs see what hys dreames wyl come to.
21 When Ruben herde that, he went aboute to ryd hym out of their handes and sayd, let vs not kyl hym.
22 And Ruben sayde moreouer vnto them, shede not his bloud, but cast him in to this pytt that is in the wyldernes, and laye no handes vpon him: for he wolde haue rydd hym out of their handes and delyuered him to his father agayn.
23 And as soone as Ioseph was come vnto hys brethren, they strypte hym oute of hys gay coote that was vpon hym,
24 and they toke hym and caste hym in to a pyt: But the pyt was emptie and had no water therein.
