All this was done, that it myght be fulfyl led, whiche was spoken of the Lorde by the prophet, sayenge: Behold, a mayde, shal be with chylde, and shall brynge forth a sonne / and they shal call his name Emanuel, which yf a man interprete, it is asmoche to saye, as God with vs. ⊢ And Ioseph as soone as he awoke out of slepe, dyd as the angell of the Lorde had bydden hym, and he toke his wyfe vnto hym, and knewe her not, tyll she had brought forth her ☞ fyrst begotten sonne / and called his name Iesus.

WHen Iesus was borne at Bethleem a [unspec A] citye of Iury, in the tyme of Herode the kyng. Behold, there came wysemen from the East to Iurusalem, sayenge: where is he that is borne kynge of Iues▪ For we haue sene his sterre in the East, and are come to worshyp hym. When Herode the kynge had herde these thynges, he was troubled, and al the citye of Ierusalem with hym: And when he had gathered all the cheyfe Preestes and scrybes of the people togyther, he demaun∣ded of them, where Chryst shulde be borne.

And they sayde vnto hym: at Bethleem in Iury. For thus it is wrytten by the prophet: ☞ And thou Bethleem in the land of Iu∣da, arte not the least amonge the Prynces of Iuda. For out of the shall there come vnto me the captayne, that shall gouerne my people Israell.

Then Herode (when he had priuely called [unspec B] the wysemen) he enquyred of them diligently▪

what tyme the sterre appeared, and he bad them go to Bethleem and sayde: Go youre waye thyther, and searche dilygently for the chylde. And when ye haue found him / bryng me worde agayne, that I maye come & wor∣shyp hym also. ✚ When they had herde the kynge, they departed: and lo, the sterre which they sawe in the East, went before them / tyll it came, and stode ouer the place, wherin the chylde was: When they sawe the sterre, they were excedynge glad: & went in to the house / and founde the chylde with Mary his mo∣ther and fell downe flat and worshypped hym, and opened theyr treasures, and offered vnto hym gyftes, golde, frankynsence, and myrte. And after they were warned of god in slepe (that they shulde not go agayne to He∣rode) they returned in to theyr owne coun∣trey another waye. ⊢ When they were de∣parted: [unspec C] beholde, the angel of the lorde appea∣red to Ioseph in slepe sayeng: aryse and take the chyld and his mother, & flee in to Egypt, and be thou there tyll I brynge the worde.

For it wyll come to passe, that Herode shal seke the chylde, to destroye hym. So when he awoke, he toke the chylde and his mother by nyght, and departed in to Egypte, and was there vnto the death of Herode: that it might be fulfylled, whiche was spoken of the lorde by the Prophet, sayeng: out of Egypt haue I called my sonne. Then Herode when he sawe that he was mocked of the wyse men, he was excedynge wroth, and sent forth men of warre, and slue all the chyldren that were in Bethleem, and in all the coostes (as many as were two yere olde or vnder) accordynge to the tyme, which he had diligently knowen out of the wyse men. Then was fulfylled that, whiche was spoken by the Prophet Ie∣remy: where as he sayde: in Rama was there a voyce herde lamentacyon, wepynge, and great mournynge: Rachell wepynge for her chyldren, and wolde not be conforted ☞ by∣cause they were not. ⊢

But when Herode was deade: behold, ✚ an [unspec D] angell of the Lorde appeared in a slepe to Ioseph / in Egypte, sayenge: aryse, and take the chylde and his mother, and go in to the lande of Israell. For they are deade which sought the chyldes lyfe. And he arose, & toke the chyld and his mother, and came in to the lande of Israel. But when he herde, that Ar∣chelaus dyd reygne in Iury, in the rowme of his father Herode, he was afrayde to go thy∣ther. Notwithstandynge, after he was war∣ned of god in a slepe, he turned asyde into the partyes of Galile, and went and dwelte in a citye which is called Nazareth: that it myght be fulfylled whiche was spoken by the Pro∣phettes: he shall be called a Nazarite. ⊢

¶ The Baptym, preachynge, and offyce of Iohn̄: and how Chryst was baptysed of hym in Iordane.

CAPI. III. ✚

IN those dayes came Iohn̄ the Baptyst, [unspec A] preachyng in the wylnernesse of Iury and sayenge. ‡ ☞ Repente, of the lyfe that is past, for the kyngdome of heuen is at hande. For this is he of whome the prophet Esay spake, whiche sayeth. The voyce of a cryer in the wyldernesse, prepare ye the waye of the Lorde: and make his pathes streyght. This Iohn̄ had his garment of camels heer. And a gyrdell of a skyn aboute his loynes. His meate was locustes and wylde hony. Then went out to hym, Ierusalem & all Iury, and all the regyon rounde aboute Iordane, and were baptysed of hym in Iordan, confessyng theyr synnes. ⊢

✚ But when he sawe many of the Phari∣ses, [unspec B] and Saduces come to his baptyme, he sayde vnto them: O generacyon of vypers: who hath taught you to flee from the venge∣aunce to come? Bryng forth therfore the fru∣tes that be longe to repentaunce. And be not of soch mynde that ye wold say within your¦selues: we haue Abraham to our father. For I saye vnto you, that God is able to brynge to passe, that of these stones there shal ryse vp chyldren vnto Abraham. Euen nowe is the are also put vnto the rote of the trees: so that euery tree whiche bryngeth not forth good fruyte, is hewen downe, and cast into the fyre

I baptise you in water vnto repentaūce / but he that shall come after me is myghtyer then I, whose shoes I am not worthy to beare. He shall Baptyse you with the holy gooste and with fyre: Whose fan is in his hand, and he wyll pourge his floore, and ga∣ther his wheat in to the barne, but wyl burne the chaffe with vnquencheable fyre. ⊢

✚ Then cometh Iesus from Galile to Ior¦dane [unspec C] vnto Iohn̄ to be Baptysed of hym. But Iohn̄ forbad hym, saynge, I haue nede to be baptised of the: and comest thou to me? Iesus answered and sayde vnto hym: Let it be so nowe. For thus it becometh vs to ful∣fyll all ryghtewysenesse. Then he suffered him. And Iesus when he was baptised, came streyght waye out of the water. And lo he∣uen was open vnto him: and he sawe the spi∣ryte of god descendynge lyke a doue, & lygh∣tynge vpon hym. And lo, there came a voyce from heuen, sayenge. This is my beloued sonne, in whome I am well pleased▪ ⊢

CAPI. IIII. ✚

THen was Iesus led awaye of the spi∣ryte [unspec A] in to wyldernesse: to be tempted of the deuyll. And when he had fasted. xl. dayes, and. xl. nyghtes, he was at the last an hūgred. And when the tempter came to him, he sayde, yf thou be the son of god / cōmaund that these stones be made bread. But he ans∣wered & sayd: it is wrytten: Man shall not lyue by breade only, but by euery worde that procedeth out of the mouth of god. Then the deuyl taketh hym vp in to the holy citye, and setteth hym on a pynacle of the temple / and sayeth vnto hym: yf thou be the sonne God / cast thy selfe downe headlyng. For it is wryt∣ten: He shall gyue his Angels charge ouer the: and with theyr handes they shall holde the vp, leest at any tyme thou dasshe thy fote agaynst a stone. And Iesus sayde to hym: it is wrytten agayne. Thou shalte not tempt the Lorde thy God.

Agayne, the deuyll taketh hym vp in to [unspec B] an excedyng hygh moūtayne, & sheweth him all the kyngdomes of the worlde, & the glory of them, & sayeth vnto hym, all these wyll I gyue the, yf thou wylt fall downe, & worshyp me. Then sayeth Iesus vnto hym: Auoyde Satan. For it is wryten. Thou shalte wor∣shyp the lorde thy god, & him only shalt thou serue. Then the deuyl leaueth hym, & behold, the angels came & minystred vnto hym. ⊢

✚ When Iesus had herde that Iohn was taken, he departed in to Galile, and lefte Na¦zareth, and went and dwelte in Capernaum, whiche is a citye vpon the see coost, in the bor¦ders of Zabulon & Neptalim: that it myght be fulfylled whiche was spoken by Esay the prophet, sayenge: The lande of Zabulon & Nephtalim, by the waye of the see beyonde [unspec C] Iordane, Galile of the Gentyls: the people whiche sat in darkenesse, and in the shadowe of death, sawe great lyght, & to them whiche sat in the regyon and shadow of death / is the lyght spronge vp. From that tyme, Iesus be¦gan to preache, and to saye: ‡ repent, for the kyngdome of heuen is at hande. ⊢

✚ As Iesus walked by the see of Galilee he sawe two brethren: Simon, whiche was called Peter, & Andrewe his brother, castyng a net in to the see (for they were fysshers) and he sayeth vnto them: folowe me, and I wyll make you ❀ (to become) fysshers of men. And they streyght waye lefte the nettes and folowed hym. And when he was gone forth from thence, he sawe other two brethren, Ia∣mes the son of Zebede, & Iohn̄ his brother / in the shyp with Zebede theyr father, men∣dynge theyr nettes, and he called them. And [unspec D] they immediatly lette the shyp and theyr fa∣ther, and folowed hym. ⊢ ✚ And Iesus went aboute all Galile, teachynge in theyr syna∣goges, and preachynge the Gospell of the kyngdom, & healynge al maner of sycknesse, and all maner of dysease amonge the people.

And his fame spred abrode thorowout all Siria. And they brought vnto him all sycke people, that were taken with dyuers dysea∣ses and grypynges, and them that were pos∣sessed with deuyls, and those whiche were lu∣natyke, and those that had the palsey: and he healed them. And there folowed hym great multitudes of people, from Galile, ⊢ & from the ten cityes / & from Ierusalem, and from Iury, and from the regyons that lye beyond Iordane.

WHen he sawe the people he went vp in [unspec A] to a mountayne, and when he was see, his discyples came to hym, and after that he had opened his mouth, he taught them say∣enge.

But that ye maye knowe, that the sonne of man hath power to forgyue synnes in earth. Then sayeth he vnto the sycke of the palsye: Aryse, take vp thy bed, and go vnto thyne house.

And when the Pharises sawe it, they sayd [unspec B] vnto his disciples: why eateth your mayster with Publicans and synners? But when Iesus herde that, he sayde vnto them. They that be stronge, nede not the Phisician, but they that are sycke. Go ye rather and learne what that meaneth. I wyl haue mercy, and not sacrifice.

But the dayes wyll come, when the brydegrome shal be ta∣ken from them, and then shall they fast. No man putteth a pece of newe cloth in an olde garment.

For she sayd within her selfe: yf I may touche but euen his vesture only, I shalbe safe.

ANd when his twelue disciples were [unspec A] called vnto hym, he gaue them power agaynst vncleane spirites, to cast them oute, & to heale all maner of syckenes, & all maner of dysease. The names of the twelue apostles are these: The fyrst, Simon whiche is called Peter: and Andrewe his brother? Iames the sonne of Zebede, and Iohn̄ his brother: Philip and Barthylmew: Thomas & Mathew, whiche had bene a ☞ Publican. Iames the sonne▪ of Alphe, and Lebbeus, (whose syrname was Taddeus) Simon of Canaan, and Iudas Iscarioth, whiche also betrayed hym. Iesus sent forth these. xii. in nombre, whom he cōmaunded, sayenge. Go not into the way of the gentyls, and in to the citie of the Samaritans entre ye not. But go rather to the lost shepe of the house of Israel.

Go and preache, sayenge: The kyngdome of heuen is at hande: Heale the sycke, clense the lepers, rayse the deade, cast out deuyls. Frely ye haue receyued: gyue frely. ‡ Pos∣sesse not gold nor syluer, nor ☞ brasse in your purses, nor yet scryp towarde your iourney: [unspec B] neyther two cotes, neyther shoes, nor yet a rodde. For the workeman is worthy of his meate. But to what soeuer citye or towne ye shall come, enquyre who is worthy in it, and there abyde tyll ye go thence. And when ye come in to an house, salute the same. And yf the house be worthy, let your peace come vpō it. But yf it be not worthy, let youre peace re∣turne to you agayne.

And who soeuer shall not receyue you, nor wyll heare your preachyng: When ye depart out of the house or that citye, shake of the dust of your feete. Uerely I saye vnto you: it shall be easyer for the lande of Zodom / and Gomor in the day of iudgement, then for that citye. Beholde, I sende you forthe, as shepe amonge wolues. Be ye therfore wyse as ser∣pentes / and innocent as doues. But be∣ware of men, for they shall delyuer you vp to the counselles, and shall scourge you in theyr Synagoges. And ye shall be brought vnto the heade rulers, and kynges, for my sake, in wytnesse to them and to the gentyls:

But when they delyuer you vp, take ye no thought, howe or what ye shall speake: For it shall be gyuen you, euen in that same houre, what ye shall speake. For it is not ye that speake, but the spirite of your fa∣ther whiche speaketh in you.

The brother shall delyuer vp the brother to death, & the father the sonne. And the chyl∣dren [unspec C] shal aryse agaynst theyr fathers and mo¦thers, & shal put them to death: and ye shalbe

hated of all men for my name sake. But he that endureth to the ende, shall be saued.

But when they persecute you in this citye flee ye in to an other. For verely I saye vnto you: ye shall not go thorowe all the cityes of Israel, tyll the sonne of man be come. The discyple is not aboue the mayster: nor the seruaunt aboue his lorde. It is ynough for the disciple, that he be as his mayster is, and that the seruaunt be as his lorde is. If they haue called the lorde of the house Beelzebub: howe moche more shall they call them of his housholde so? Feare them not therfore. For there is nothynge close, that shall not be ope∣ned: & nothyng hyd, that shal not be knowen. What I tell you in darkenesse, that speake ye in lyghte. And what ye heare in the eare, that preache ye on the house toppes. And feare ye not them whiche kyll the body, but are not able to kyl the soule. But rather feare hym, which is able to destroy both soule and body in to hell. Are not two lytell sparowes solde for a farthynge? And one of them shall not lyght on the grounde w^tout your father. Yea, euen al the heeres of your head are nom¦bred. Feare ye not therfore: ye are of more va∣lue then many sparowes. Euery one ther∣fore that shal knowledge me before men, him wyl I knowlege also before my father which [unspec D] is in heuen. But who soeuer shall denye me before men, hym wyll I also denye before my father whiche is in heuen.

Thynke not that I am come to sende peace into the erth. I came not to sende peace but a swerde. For I am come to set a man at varyaunce agaynst his father, & the dough¦ter agaynst her mother, and the doughter in lawe agaynst her mother in law. And a mans foes shall be they that are of his owne haus∣holde. He that loueth father or mother more then me, is not worthy of me. And he that lo∣ueth sonne or doughter more then me, is not worthye of me. And he that taketh not his crosse and foloweth me, is not worthy of me.

He that fyndeth his lyfe, shall lose it: and he that loseth his lyfe for my sake, shal fynde it. He that receyueth you, receyueth me: and he that receyueth me, receyueth hym that sent me. He that receyueth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shal receyue a prophet{is} rewarde. And he that receyueth a ryghteous man, in the name of a ryghteous man, shall receyue a ryghteous mannes rewarde.

And who soeuer shall gyue vnto one of these lytell ones to drynke, a cup of colde wa∣ter onely (in the name of a disciple) verely I say vnto you: he shall not lose his rewarde.

And happy is he, that is not offended by me.

And as they departed, Iesus began to say vnto the people concernynge Iohn̄. What [unspec B] went ye out into the wyldernes to se? A reede that is shaken with the wynd? Or what went ye out to se? a man clothed in softe rayment? Beholde, they that weare softe clothyng: are in kynges houses. But what wente ye out to se?

But whervnto shall I lyken this ge∣neracyon? It is lyke vnto chyldren whiche [unspec C] syt in the market places, and call vnto theyr felowes, and saye: We haue pyped vnto you, and ye haue not daunsed? we haue mourned vnto you, and ye haue not sorowed.

For Iohn̄ came neyther catynge nor dryn∣kynge, and ye saye, he hathe the deuyll. The sonne of man came eatynge and drynkynge, and they saye: beholde a glutton, and an vn∣measurable drynker of wyne, and a frende vnto publicans and synners. And wysdome is Iustified of her chyldren.

✚ Then began he to vpbrayde the cityes whiche moost of his myracles were done in,

bycause they repented not of theyr synnes. Wo vnto the Chorasin.

Neuer∣thelesse I say vnto you: it shall be easyer for Tyre and Sidon at the daye of iudgement, then for you. And thou Capernaum, whiche ••ete lyfte vp vnto heuen, shalte be broughte downe to hell.

For yf the myracles which haue bene done [unspec D] in the, had bene shewed in Zodom: they had remayned vntyll this daye.

Howe he entred in to the house of god, and dyd eate the shewe breades, whiche were not lawfull for hym to eate, neyther for them whiche were with hym, but onely for the preestes? Or haue ye not red in the lawe, how that (on the Sab¦both dayes) the preestes in the temple breake the Sabboth, and are blamelesse? But I say vnto you: that in this place is one greater then the temple. Wherfore, yf ye wyst what this meaneth, I requyre mercy, and not sa∣crifice: ye wolde not haue condemned inno∣centes. ⊢ For the sonne of man also, is lorde euen of the Sabboth day. And he departed thence and went in to the synagoge: and be holde, there was a man which had his hande dryed vp. And they asked hym sayenge: Is it lawful to heale vpon the Sabboth dayes? that they myght accuse hym. And he sayd vn to them: whiche of you wyll it be, that shall haue a shepe, and yf it fall into a pyt on the Sabboth day, wyll he not take it and lyfte it out? Howe moche more then is a man better then a shepe? Wherfore, it is lawfull to do a good dede on the Sabboth dayes.

Then sayth he to the man: stretche forthe thy hande. And he stretched it forthe. And it [unspec B] was restored vnto helth, lyke as the other.

Then was brought to hym a blynde and dombe man, that was vexed with a deuyll: & he healed hym, in so moch, that the blynd and dombe, both spake & sawe. And all the people were amased, & sayde: Is not this that sonne of Dauid? But when the Pharises herde it, they sayd. This felow dryueth the deuyls none otherwyse out, but by the helpe of Bel∣zebub the cheyfe of the deuyls. But when Ie¦sus knew theyr thought{is}, he sayd vnto them: Euery kyngdome deuyded agaynst it selfe, shall be brought to nought.

And euery citye or house deuyded agaynst [unspec C] it selfe, shall not stande. And yf Satan caste out Satan, then is he deuyded agaynst hym¦selfe. How shall then his kyngdome endure? Also, yf I by the helpe of Belzebub cast oute deuyls, by whose helpe do your chyldren cast them out? Therfore, they shal be your iudg{is}. But yf I cast out the deuyls by the spirite of God, then is the kyngdome of God come vn to you: Or els howe can one entre in to a stronge mannes house, and spoyle his Iuels excepte he fyrst bynde the stronge man, and then spoyle his house?

✚ Then certayne of the scribes and of the pharises asked hym, sayenge. Mayster, we wyll se a sygne of the. But he answered and [unspec D] sayd to them. The euyll and aduouterous generacion seketh a sygne and there shall no sygne be gyuen to them, but the sygne of the prophet Ionas. For as Ionas was thre dayes and thre nyghtes in the whales belly: so shall the sonne of man be thre dayes & thre nyghtes in the herte of the earth. The men of Niniue shall ryse in the iudgement with this nacion, & condemne it, bycause they amen∣ded at the preachynge of Ionas. Beholde, here is one greater then Ionas. The quene of the south shall ryse in the iudgement, with this generacion, and shal condemne it: for she came from the vttermost partes of the world to heare the wysdome of Salomon. And be∣holde, in this place is one greater then Salo¦mon. When the vncleane spirite is gone out of a man, he walketh thorowout drye places, sekyng rest, and fyndeth none.

Then goeth he, & taketh vnto hym seuen other spi∣rites worse then hym selfe, and so entreth he in, and dwelleth there. And the ende of that man is worse then the begynnynge. Euen so shal it be also, vnto this froward generacion Whyle he yet talked to the people: behold his mother and his brethren stode without, desyryng to speake with hym. Then one sayd vnto hym: Beholde, thy mother & thy bre∣thren stande without, desyrynge to speake with the. But he answered, and sayde vnto hym that had tolde hym: Who is my mother? or who are my brethrē? And he stretched forth his hande towarde his disciples, and sayde: beholde, my mother and my brethren.

And he spake many thyng{is} to them by similitudes, saynge: Beholde, the sower went forthe to sowe. And when he sowed, some scedes fell by the wayes syde, and the foules came, & deuoured them vp. Some fell vpon stony places, where they had not moche earth, and anone they sprang vp, bicause they had no depenes of earth, and when the sonne was vp, they caught heate, & bicause they had no rote, they wythered away Agayne, some fell amonge thornes, and the thornes sprange vp and chooked them. But some fell in to good grounde, and broughte forth fruyte: some an hūdred folde, some si••ty folde, some thirtye folde. Who soeuer hathe eares to heare, let hym heare.

And the disciples came, & sayd vnto hym: [unspec B] Why speakest thou to them by parables: He answered and sayd vnto them: it is gyuen vnto you to knowe the secretes of the kyng∣dome of heuen, but to them it is not gyuen. For who soeuer hath, to hym shal be gyuē, and he shal haue aboundaunce. But who so∣euer hath not: from hym shall be taken away euē that also which he hath. Therfore speake I to them by similitudes: for they seynge, se not: and hearynge, they heare not, neyther do they vnderstande. And in them is fulfylled the prophecye of Esasas▪ which sayth: with the eares ye shall heare, and shall not vnder∣stande, & seynge, ye shall se, and shall not per∣ceyue. For these peples hert{is} is wared grosse and theyr eares are dull of hearynge, & theyr eyes haue they closed, leest at any tyme they shulde se with theyr eyes, & heare with theyr cares, and shulde vnderstande with theyr herte, and be conuerted, that I also myght heale them.

But blessed are youre eyes, for they se: & [unspec C] your eares, for they heare. Uerely I saye vn∣to you, that many prophettes and ryghte∣ous men haue desyred to se those thynges whiche ye se, and haue not sene them: and to heare those thynges whiche ye heare, & haue not herde them. Heare ye therfore the simili¦tude of the sower. Whē one heareth the worde of the kyngdom, & vnderstandeth it not, then cometh the euyll man, and taketh awaye that which was sowē in his hert: this is he, which was sowen by the waye syde. But he that re∣ceyued the seede whiche was cast in to stonye places, the same is he that heareth the worde, and anone with ioy receyueth it, yet hath he no rote in hym selfe, but dureth for a season: for when tribulacyon or persecucyon happe∣neth bycause of the worde, by & by he falleth. He also that receyued seede in to the thornes, is he that heareth the worde: and the care of this worlde, and the deceytefulnes of ryches, choke vp the worde, & so is he made vnfruyt∣ful. But he that receyueth sede in to the good grounde, is he that heareth the worde, & vn∣derstandeth it: which also beareth fruyte, and bryngeth forth, some an hundred folde, some syxtye folde, some thyrtye folde.

An other similitude put he forth vnto them [unspec D] sayenge: ✚ The kyngdom of heuen is lyke∣ned vnto a man, whiche sowed good seede in his felde. But whyle men slepte, his enemy came, and sowed tares amonge the wheate, and went his way. But when the blade was spronge vp, and had brought forthe fruyte, then appeared the tares also. So the seruaū∣tes of the housholder came, and sayde vnto hym. Syr, dydest not thou sow good seede in thy felde? from whence then hath it tares? He sayd vnto them: the enuyous man hath done this. The seruauntes sayde vnto hym: wylte thou then that we go, and wede them vp? but he sayde, nay, lest whyle ye gather vp the ta∣res, ye plucke vp also the wheate with them, let bothe growe togyther vntyll the haruest, and in tyme of haruest, I wyll saye vnto the reapers: gather ye fyrst the tares, and bynde them togyther in sheaues to be burnt: but ga¦ther the wheate in to my barne. ⊢

✚ An other parable put he forth vnto them sayenge: The kyngdome of heuen is lyke vnto a grayne of mustarde seede, which a mā toke and sowed in his felde, which is the least of all seedes. But when it is growen, it is the greatest amonge herbes, and is a tree: so that the byrdes of the ayre come, and make theyr nestes in the braunches therof.

An other similitute spake he vnto them: The kyngdome of heuen is lyke vnto leuē [unspec E] whiche a woman taketh and hydeth in thre peckes of meele, tyl all be leuened. All these thynges spake Iesus vnto the people by si∣militudes, and without a parable spake he nothyng vnto them: that it myght be fulfyl∣led, whiche was spoken by the prophet, that sayth, I wyll open my mouth in parables: I wyl speake forth thynges which haue bene kepte secrete frome the begynnynge of the worlde. ⊢ When the people were sent away, then came Iesus in to the house. ✚ And his disciples came vnto hym, sayenge: declare vn to vs the parable of the tares of the felde. He answered & sayd vnto them: He that soweth the good seed, is the sonne of man. The felde is the worlde. And the chyldren of the kyng∣dome, they are the good seed: the tares are the children of the wicked: the enemy that soweth them, is the deuyll. The haruest is the ende of the worlde: the reapers be the angels. Euē as the tares therfore, are gathered & burnt in the fyre: so shal it be in the ende of this world.

The sonne of man shall sende forthe his angels, & they shall gather out of his kyng∣dome [unspec F] all thynges that offende, & them which do iniquite: & shall cast them in to a fournace of fyre. There shall be waylyng & gnasshyng of teeth. Then shal the righteous shyne as the son in the kyngdom of theyr father. Who so euer hath eares to heare, let hym heare. ⊢

✚ Agayne, the kyngdome of heuen is lyke vnto treasure hyd in the felde, the whiche a man hath founde and hyd: and for ioy therof goeth & selleth al that he hath, and byeth the felde. Agayne the kyngdom of heuen is lyke vnto a merchaunt man, sekyng goodly pear¦les, which (whē he foūde one precious pearle) went & solde all that he had, and bought it. Agayne the kyngdom of heuen is lyke vnto a net, that was cast into the see & gathered of all kynde ❀ (offysshes) which when it was ful mē drewe to land, & sat downe & gathered the good in to vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the ende of the worlde. The an∣gels shall come & seuer the bad from among the good, & shall cast them in to the fournace of fyre: there shalbe waylyng & gnasshynge of teeth. Iesus sayth vnto them: haue ye vn∣derstande all these thynges? They saye vnto hym: yea lorde. Then sayde he vnto them.

Therfore euery s••••••be which is taught vn∣to [unspec G] the kyngdom of heuen, is lyke vnto a man that is an housholder, which bryngeth forth out of his treasure, thynges new and olde. ⊢ And it came to passe, that when Iesus had fi∣nyshed these similitud{is}, he departed thence.

And when he came into his owne countrey, he taught them in theyr synagog{is}, in so moch that they were astonyed, and sayd: Whence cometh this wysdome, & powers vnto hym? Is not this the carpenters sonne? Is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren Iames and Ioses and Symon and Iudas? And are not all his systers with vs? Whence hath he then al these thynges. And they were offended at hym. Iesus sayde vnto them. A prophet is not without honoure, saue in his owne countrey, and in his owne house.

And he dyd not many myracles there, by∣cause of theyr vnbylefe.

¶ Iohn̄ was taken and beheaded. Chryst fedeth fyue thou∣sande men with fyue loues, and two fysshes: and appeareth by nyght vnto his disciples vpon the see.

CAPI. XIIII.

AT that tyme Herode the Tetrarcha [unspec A] herde of the fame of Iesu, and sayd vn¦to his seruaūtes: this is Iohn̄ the Bap∣tyst. He is rysen from the deade, and therfore are myracles wrought by hym. For Herode had taken Iohn̄, and bounde hym, and put hym in pryson bycause of Herodias, his bro∣ther Philips wyfe. For Iohn̄ sayd vnto hym: It is not lawfull for the to haue her. And when he wolde haue put hym to death, he fea¦red the people, bycause they counted hym as a prophet. But when Herodes byrth day was kepte, the doughter of Herodias daūsed before them, & pleased Herode. Wherfore he promised with an othe, that he wold gyue her what soeuer she wolde aske. And she beynge instructe of her mother before, sayde: Gyue me here Iohn̄ Baptystes heade in a platter.

And the kynge was sory. Neuerthelesse, for the othes sake, and them whiche sat at the ta∣ble, he cōmaūded it to be gyuen her: and sent tourmentours, & beheaded Iohn̄ in the pry∣son, and his heade was brought in a platter, and gyuen to the damsell, and she brought it to her mother. And his disciples came and toke vp his body, and buryed it, and wente, and tolde Iesus.

When Iesus herde of it, he departed [unspec B] thence in a shyp vnto a deserte place, out of the way. And when the peple had herde ther∣of, they folowed him on fote & lefte the cityes And Iesus went forth, & sawe moche people and was moued with mercy towarde them, and he healed of them those that were sycke.

And when the euen drewe on, his disciples came to hym, sayenge: this is a deserte place, and the houre is nowe past, let the people de∣parte, that they may go in to the townes, and bye them vytayles. But Iesus sayde vnto them. They haue no nede to go awaye. Gyue ye them to eate. They say vnto hym: we haue here but. v. loues and two fysshes. He sayde: brynge them hyther to me. And he cōmaun∣ded the peple to syt downe on the grasse, & he toke the. v. loues and. i••. fysshes, & lyft vp his eyes towarde heuen and ☞ blessed: And whē he had broken them, he gaue the loues to his disciples, and his disciples gaue them to the people. And they dyd all eate, and were suffy¦sed. And they gathered vp (of the fragment{is} that remayned) xii. baskettes full. And they that dyd eate, were aboute fyue thousande men, besyde women and chyldren.

And streyght waye Iesus made his [unspec C] disciples to get vp into a shyp: and to go be∣fore hym vnto the other syde whyle he sente the people away. And when the people were sent awaye, he went vp in to a mountayne to praye alone. And when nyght was come / he was there hym selfe alone. But the shyp was nowe in the myddes of the see, and was tost with waues, for it was a cōtrary wynde. And in the fourth watche of the nyght. Ie∣sus went vnto them walkyng on the see. And when the discyples saw hym walkyng on the see, they were troubled sayenge, it is some spy¦ryte, & they cryed out for feare. But streyght waye, Iesus spake vnto them, sayenge: be of good cheare, it is I, be not afrayde. Peter answered hym, and sayd: Lorde, yf it be thou, byd me come vnto the on the water.

And he sayd, come. And when Peter was [unspec D] come downe out of the shyppe, he walked on the water, to go to Iesus. But when he sawe a moghtye wynde, he was afrayde. And whē he began to synke, he cryed, sayenge: Lorde saue me. And immediatly Iesus stretched forth his hande, and caught hym, and sayde vnto hym: O thou of lytell fayth, wherfore dydest thou doute? And when they were come in to the shyp, the wynde ceased. Then they that were in the shyp, came and worshyp¦ped hym, sayenge: of a trueth thou arte the son of God. And when they were gone ouer / they came into the lande of Genesereth. And when the men of the place had knowledge of hym, they sent out messengers in to all that countrey rounde aboute the coost & brought vnto hym all that were sycke, and besought hym, that they myght touch the hemme of his vesture onely. And as many as touched it, were made safe.

¶ Chryst excuseth his discyples / and rebuketh the Scrybes and Pharyses for transgressynge the cōmaundement of God thorow theyr owne tradicyons. The thynge that goeth in to the mouth defyleth not the man. He delyuereth the woman of Can••••••ye•• boughter: healeth the multitude: and with seuen loues, and a few lytle fysshes fedeth foure thousande men, be∣syde women and chyldren.

CAPI. XV. ✚

THen came to Iesus Scribes and pha¦rises [unspec A] (whiche were come from Ierusa∣lem,) sayenge: Why do thy disciples transgresse the tradicions of the elders? For they wasshe not theyr handes when they eate bread. But he answered and sayd vnto them: Why do ye also transgresse the cōmaunde∣ment of god, bycause of your owne tradicion? For God cōmaundeth, sayenge: honour fa∣ther and mother, and he that curseth father or mother: let hym dye the death. But ye saye, euery one shall saye to his father and mother ☞ what gyfte so euer shulde haue come of me, the same is turned vnto thy profyte: and so shall he not honoure his father or his mo∣ther. And thus haue ye made the cōmaunde∣ment of God of none effecte, bycause of your owne tradicion. Ypocrites, ful wel dyd Esaye prophesye of you, sayenge: This people draweth nygh vnto me with theyr mouth, & honoureth me with lippes, howbeit, theyr her¦tes are farre from me: but in vayne do they serue me, teachynge the doctrines and pre∣ceptes of men.

And he called the people to hym, and sayd [unspec B] vnto them: heare & vnderstande. That which goeth into the mouthe, defyleth not the man: but that whiche cometh out of the mouth, de∣fyleth the man. Then came his disciples, and sayde vnto hym: knowest thou not, that the Pharises were offended at this saynge? But he answered and sayde. Euery plante whiche my heuenly father hath not planted, shall be plucked vp by the rootes. Let them alone, they be the blynde leaders of the blynde. If the blynde leade the blynde, bothe shall fall into the dytche. Then answered Peter and sayde vnto hym: declare vnto vs this para∣ble. Iesus sayde: are ye also yet without vn∣derstandyng: do not ye yet vnderstande, that whatsoeuer entreth in at the mouth, goeth in to the belly, and is cast out in to the draught? But those thynges whiche procede out of the mouthe, come forth from the herte, and they defyle the man. For out of the herte procede euyll thoughtes, murders, breakyng of wed∣locke, hooredoms, theftes, false wytnesse, blas¦phemyes. These are the thynges, whiche de∣fyle a mā. But to take meate with vnwashed handes, defyleth not a man. ⊢

✚ And Iesus wente thence, and departed [unspec C] into the coostes of Tyre and Sydon, and be∣holde, a woman of Canaan (whiche came out of the same coostes) cryed vnto hym, sayenge haue mercy on me o lorde, thou sonne of Da∣uid: My doughter is pyteously vexed with a deuyl. But he answered her nothynge at all, and his disciples came, and besought hym, sayenge: sende her awaye, for she cryeth after vs: But he answered, & sayde: I am not sent but vnto the lost shepe of the house of Is∣rael. Then came she, and worshypped hym, saynge: Lord, helpe me. He answered, & sayd: It is not mete, to take the chyldrens beade, & to cast it to dogges. She answered, and sayd Trueth lorde, for the dogg{is} eate of the crom∣mes, whiche fall from theyr maysters table. Then Iesus answered, and sayde vnto her. O woman, great is thy fayth, be it vnto the, euen as thou wylte. And her doughter was made hole euen at that same tyme. ⊢

And Iesus went awaye from thence, and [unspec D] came nygh vnto the see of Galile, and wente vp in to a mountayne, and sat downe there.

And moche people came vnto hym, bryng∣ynge with them those that were lame, blynde deafe, maymed, and other many: & cast them downe at Iesus feete. And he healed them: in so moche, that the people wondred, when they sawe the dombe speake, the maymed to be hoole, the lame to walke, and the blynde to se. And they glorified the God of Israel. Then Iesus called his disciples vnto him and sayd: I haue compassyon on the people, bycause they contynue w^t me nowe. iii. dayes and haue nothyng to eate: and I wyll not let them departe fastyng, lest they mysse cary by the waye. And his disciples saye vnto hym, whence shulde we get so moche breade in the wyldernes, as to suffise so great a multitude? And Iesus say the vnto them: howe many lo∣ues haue ye? And they say seuen, and a few lytell fysshes. And he cōmaunded the people to syt downe on the grounde: and toke the se∣uen loues, and the fysshes: and after that he had gyuen thankes, he brake them, and gaue to his discipiples, & the disciples gaue them to the people. And they dyd all eate, and were suffysed. And they toke vp (of the brokē meat that was lefte) seuen baskettes full. And yet they that dyd eate were foure thousande men besyde women & chyldren. And he sent away the people, and toke shyp, and came in to the partyes of Magdala.

¶ The Pharys•••• require a token. Iesus warneth his disci∣ples of the pharises doctrine. The cōfessyon of Petet. The keyes of heuen. The faythfull must bea••e the Crosse after Chryst.

CAPI. XVI

THe Pharises also with the Saduces [unspec A] came and tempted hym & desyred hym that he wolde shewe them a sygne from heuen. He answered & sayd vnto them: when it begynneth to drawe toward euen, ye say,

it wyl be fayre wether, for the skye is red. And in the mornyng: It wyll be fowle wether to daye, for the skye is glowmynge red. O ye ypocrites, ye can discerne the outwarde ap∣pearaūce of the skye: but can ye not discerne the sygnes of the tymes? The froward and aduouterous nacyō requireth a sygne, and there shall no sygne be gyuen vnto it, but the sygne of the Prophet Ionas. And he lefte them, and departed.

And when his disciples were come to the [unspec B] othersyde of the water, they had forgotten to take breade with them. Then Iesus sayd vn to them. Take hede and beware of ☞ the leuen of the Pharises / and of the Saduces. And they thought in them selues sayeng: we haue taken no breade with vs. which when Iesus vnderstode, he sayde vnto them: O ye of lytle fayth, why take ye thought w^t in your selues, bycause ye haue brought no breade? Do ye not yet perceyue, neyther remember those fyue loues / when there were fyue. M men / and howe many baskettes toke ye vp? Neyther the seuen loues when there were foure thousande men: and howe many bas∣kettes toke ye vp? howe happeneth it that ye do not vnderstande, that I spake it not vnto you concernynge breade, that ye shulde be¦ware of the leuen of the Pharises and of the Saduces? Then vnderstode they, howe that he had not them beware of the leuen of bread but of the doctryne of the Pharyses / and of the Saduces.

✚ When Iesus came in to the coostes of [unspec C] the citye whiche is called Cesarea Philippi / he asked his disciples, sayenge, whome do men saye that I the sonne of man am? They sayde: Some saye that thou arte Iohn̄ Bap∣tist, some Elyas, some Ieremias, or one of the nombre of the Prophettes. He sayeth vnto them: but whome saye ye that I am? Simon Peter answered & sayde: Thou arte Chryst the son of the liuynge God. And Iesus ans∣wered, and sayde vnto hym: happy arte thou Simon the son of Ionas, for flesshe & bloode hath not opened that vnto the, but my fa∣ther whiche is in heuen. And I say also vnto the, that thou arte Peter: & vpon this rocke I wyl buylde my congregacion. And the ga∣tes of hell shall not preuayle agaynst it. And I wyll gyue vnto the, the keyes of the kyngdome of heuen: And whatsoeuer thou byndest in earth, shalbe bound in heuen: and whatsoeuer thou losest in earth, shalbe losed in heuen. ⊢ Then charged he his discyples / that they shulde tell no man, that he was Ie∣sus Chryste. From that tyme forth began Iesus to shewe vnto his disciples, howe that [unspec D] he must go vnto Ierusalem, and suffer many thyng{is} of the elders, and hygh Preestes, and scrybes, & must be kylled, & be raysed agayne the thyrde day▪ And when Petet had taken hym asyde, he began to rebuke him, sayeng: mayster, fauer thy selfe, this shal not happen vnto the: but he turned him aboute, and sayd vnto Peter: go after me Satan, thou hyn∣drest me: for thou souourest not the thynges that be of god, but those that be of men.

Then sayde Iesus vnto his disciples: It any man wyl folowe me, let hym forsake him¦selfe & take vp his crosse, and folow me. For who so wyl saue his lyfe, shal lose it. Agayne who so doth lose his lyfe for my sake, shall fynde it. For what doth it profet a man / yf he wyn all the hole world: & lose his owne soule?

Or what shall a man gyue to redeme his soule agayne withall? For the sonne of man shall come in the glorye of his father, with his angles: and then shall he rewarde euery man accordyng to his dedes. Uerely I saye vnto you, there be standynge here, which shal not taste of death, tyll they se the son of man come in his kyngdome.

ANd after syre dayes, Iesus taketh [unspec A] Peter, Iames & Iohn̄ his brother, and bryngeth them vp into an hygh moun∣tayne out of the waye, & was transfygured before them & his face dyd shyne as the son, and his clothes were as whyte as the lyght. And beholde, there appeared vnto them Mo¦ses & Elias talkyng with hym. Then answe∣red Peter, and sayde vnto Iesus: Lorde, here is good beynge for vs. Yf thou wylte, let vs make here thre tabernacles: one for the, & one for Moses, and one for Elias.

Whyle he yet spake, beholde, a bryght cloude [unspec B] shadowed them. And beholde, there came a voyce out of the cloude whiche sayde / this is my beloued son ‡ in whom I delyte heare him. And when the disciples herde these thyn¦ges / they fell on theyr faces and were fore a∣frayde. And Iesus came & touched them / & sayde: aryse, & be not afrayde. And when they had lyfte vp theyr eyes, they sawe no man, saue Iesus onely. And when they came downe from the mountayne, Iesus charged them, sayenge: shew the vision to no man / vn¦tyll the son of man be rysen agayne from the deade. ⊢✚ And his disciples asked him say∣enge. Why then say the scrybes, that Elias must fyrst come? Iesus answered and sayde

In lykewyse shall also the son of man suffer of them. Then the discyples vn∣derstode, that he spake vnto them of Iohn̄ Baptyst. And whē they were come to the peo∣ple, [unspec C] there came to hym a certayne man kne∣lyng downe to hym / & sayeng: Mayster, haue mercy on my son / for he is lunatyke and sore vexed / for oft tymes he falleth into the fyre, & ofte into the water. And I brought hym to thy disciples, & they coulde not heale him. Ie¦sus answered & sayd: O faythles and croked naciō: howe longe shall I be with you? howe longe shall I suffer you? bryng hym hyther. And Iesus rebuked the deuyl / & he departed out of hym. And the chylde was healed euen that same ryme. ⊢ Then came the disciples to Iesus secretly & sayde: Why could not we cast hym out?

For verely I say vnto you: yf ye haue fayth as a grayne of musterde seede, ye shall saye vnto this mountayne: re∣moue hence to yōder place, & it shall remoue: neyther shall any thynge be vnpossible vnto you. How be it this kynde goeth not out, but by prayer & fastyng. Whyle they were occu∣pyed in Galile, Iesus sayde vnto them: It wyll come to passe that the son of man shall be betrayed into the handes of men, and they shall kyll hym, & the thyrde daye shall he ryse agayne. And they were excedyng sorye.

✚ And when they were come to the citye of [unspec D] Capernaum, they that vse to receyue trybute money, came to peter, & sayd: Doth your may¦ster paye tribute? He sayeth: yea. And whē he was come in to the house, Iesus preuented him sayeng: What thynkest thou Simon? of whom do the kyng{is} of the earth take trybute or toll, of theyr chyldren, or of straūgers?

AT the same tyme came the disciples vn [unspec A] to Iesus, sayeng: who is the greatest in the kyngdome of heuen?

¶ Chryst sheweth his disciples the destruceyon of the temple: the inde of the worlde, and the tokens of the latter doyes, and warueth them to wake, for the worlde shall sodeyuly peryshe.

CAPI. XXIIII.

ANd Iesus went out, & departed from [unspec A] the temple: and his discyples came to him, for to shewe hym the buyldynges of the temple. Iesus sayde vnto them: Se ye not all these thynges: Uerely I say vnto you there shall not be here lefte one stone vpon an other, that shall not be destroyed. And as he sat vpon mounte Oliuete, his disciples came vnto him secretly, sayeng: Tell vs: whē shall these thyng{is} be, & what shalbe the token of thy comynge, & of the ende of the worlde? And Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them: Take hede, that no man deceyue you. For many shall come in my name, sayeng: I am Chryst, & shall deceyue many. Ye shall heare of warres, & tydyng{is} of warres: be not trou∣bled. For all ❀ (these thynges) must come to passe / but the ende is not yet. Nacion shall ryse agaynst nacyon, and tealme agaynste realme: & there shalbe pestilence, and hunger & earthquakes in all places. All these are the begynnynges of sorowes. Then shall they put you to trouble, & shall kyll you: & ye shal be hated of all nacions for my names sake. And then shall many be offended, & shall be∣traye one another, & shall hate one an other. [unspec B] And many false Prophettes shall aryse, and shall deceyue many. And bycause iniquite shall haue the vpper hande, the loue of many shall abate. But he that endureth to the ende / the same shalbe safe. And this gospell of the kyngdome shall be preached in all the worlde, for a wytnes vnto all nacions, & then shall the ende come. When ye therfore shal se the abhominacion of desolacion (that was spoken of by Daniell the prophet) stande in the holy place: who so redeth it let hym vn derstande. Then let them which be in Iury / ••lee into the moūtaynes. And let hym which is on the house toppe, not come downe to fet any thyng out of his house. Neyther let him which is in the felde, returne backe to fetche his clothes. Wo shall be in those dayes to them that are w^t chylde, & to them that gyue sucke. But pray ye that your flyght be not in ☞ the wynter, neyther on the Sabboth day. For then shall be great tribulacions suche as was not synce the begyn̄yng of the world to this tyme, nor shall be. Yea, & except those dayes shulde be shortened, there shuld ☞ no fleshe be saued: but for the chosens sake, those dayes shalbe shortened. Then yf any man saye vnto you: lo here is Chryst, or there: by∣leue it not. For there shal aryse false chrystes, & false prophettes, & shall shewe greate mi∣racles, & wonders. In so moch (that yf it were [unspec C] possible) the verye electe shulde be deceyued: beholde, I haue tolde you before. Wherfore, yf they say vnto you: beholde / he is in the de∣serte, go not ye forth: beholde / he is in the se∣crete places, byleue it not. For as the lyght∣nynge cometh out of the East, & appeareth into the west: so shall the comynge of the son of man be. For where soeuer a dead carkas is, euen thyther wyl the Egles also be gathe∣red togyther. Immediatly after the tribu∣lacions of those dayes / shall the son be dar∣kened: & the moone shall not gyue her lyght, & the sterres shal fal from heuen, and the po∣wers of heuen shalbe moued. And then shall appeare the token of the son of man in heuen

And then shall all the kynreds of the earth mourne, & they shall se the sonne of man cō∣myng in the cloudes of heuen, with power & great glorie. And he shall sende his angels with the great voyce of a trompet, and they shall gather togyther his chosen, from the foure wyndes: euen from the hyghest partes of heuen, vntyll the endes therof. Lerne a similitude of the fygge tree: when his draūce is yet tender, & the leaues spronge, ye knowe that the sōmer is nygh. So lykewyse ye, when ye se all these thynges / be ye sure that it is neare, euen at the dores. Uerely I saye vnto you: this generacion shall not passe, tyll all these thyng{is} be fulfylled, Heuen and earth shal passe, ‡ but my word{is} shal not passe. But of that daye & houre knoweth no man / no

not the angels of heuen, but my father only.

But as the dayes of Noe were, so shal also the comyng of the sonne of man be. For as in the dayes (that wente before the floode) they [unspec D] dyd eate and drynke, marry, & were maryed, euen vntyll the day that Noe entred in to the shyp, and knewe not, tyll the floode came and toke them al away: So shal also the comyng of the sonne of man be. Then shall two be in the felde, the one receyued, and the other re∣fused, two women shal be gryndyng at the myll, the one receyued, and the other refused. ❀ (Tvvo in a bed, the one shall be receyued, and the other refused.) Watche therfore, for ye knowe not what houre your lorde wyl come. Of this yet be sure, that yf the good man of the house knew what houre the thefe wold come: he wolde surely watche, and not suffre his house to be brokē vp. Therfore, be ye also redy: for in suche an houre as ye thynke not, wyll the sonne of man come. Who is a fayth full and wyse seruaunt, whom his lorde hath made ruler ouer his housholde, to gyue them meate in season. Blessed is that seruaunte whom his lorde (when he cometh) shal fynde so doynge. Uerely I saye vnto you, that he shall make hym ruler ouer all his goodes. But & yf that euyll seruaunt say in his herte, my lorde wyl be longe a comynge (and so be∣gyn to smyte his felowes, yea, and to eate & drynke with the dronken) the same seruaun∣tes lorde shall come in a daye when he loketh not for hym, & in an houre that he is not ware of, and shall hewe hym in peces, & gyue hym his porcion with ypocrites: there shall be we∣pynge and gnasshyng of teeth.

THen shal the kyngdom of heuen be lyke [unspec A] vnto ten virgins, which toke theyr lam¦pes, and went to mete the bryde grome, ❀ (and the bride.) But fyue of them were foo∣lysshe, & fyue were wyse. They that were foo∣lyshe, toke theyr Lampes, but toke none oyle with them. But the wyse toke oyle with them in theyr vessels with the lampes also. Whyle the bryde grome taried, they all slombred and slept: and euen at mydnyght, there was a crye made: Beholde, the brydegrome cometh, go out to mete hym. Thē all those virgins arose and prepared theyr lampes. So the foolyshe sayd vnto the wyse: gyue vs of your oyle: for our lampes are gone out. But the wyse ans∣wered saynge: not so, lest ther be not ynough for vs and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, & bye for your selues.

And whyle they wente to bye, the hryde∣grome came, & they that were redy, wente in with hym to the mariage: and the gate was shut vp. Afterwarde came also the other vir∣gyns, sayeng: lorde, lorde, open to vs. But he answered and sayd: verely I say vnto you I knowe you not. Watche therfore, for ye know neyther the day nor yet the houre wher in the sonne of man shall come. ⊢

✚ Lykewyse as a certayne man redye to take his iourney to a straunge countrey, cal∣led [unspec B] his seruauntes, and delyuered vnto them his goodes. And vnto one he gaue .v. talent{is}, to an other .ii. and to an other one: to euery man after his habilite, & streyght way depar∣ted. Then he that had receyued the .v. talen∣tes, went & occupied with the same, and wan other fyue talentes. Lykewyse also, he that receyued .ii. gayned other .ii.

Thou hast bene faythful ouer fewe thyng{is}.

His lorde answered & sayd vnto hym. Thou euyll & slowthfull ser∣uaunt, thou knewest, that I reape where I sowed not, & gather where I haue not strawed thou oughtest therfore to haue delyuered my money to the exchaungers, & then at my co∣myng shulde I haue receyued myne owne w^t vaūtage.

✚ When the sonne of man cometh in his glorie, and al the holy angels with hym, then shall he syt vpon the seate of his glorie, and before hym shall be gathered all nacions.

And he shall separate them one from an o∣ther, as a shepeheerde deuydeth the shepe frō the gootes: and he shall set the shepe on his ryght hande, but the gootes on the lefte. Thē shal the kynge say to them that shalbe on his ryght hand. Come ye blessed of my father, in∣herite the kyngdom prepared for you from the begynnyng of the worlde.

CAPI. XXVI.

ANd it came to passe, when Iesus had fi¦nisshed [unspec A] al these sayenges, he sayd vnto his disciples: ✚ Ye knowe that after two dayes shalbe Easter, and the son of man shall be delyuered ouer, to be crucified.

Then assembled togyther the cheyfe pree∣stes and the scribes and the elder of the peple vnto the palace of the hygh Preest / whiche was called Cayphas) & helde a counsell▪ that they myght take Iesus by subteltie, and kyll hym: but they sayde: not on the holy day, lest there be an vproute amonge the people.

When Iesus was in Bethany, in the house of Symon the leper, there came vnto hym a woman hauyng an alabaster boxe of precious oyntment, & powred it on his head, as he sat at the borde. But when his disciples saw it, they had indignacion, sayeng. Wher∣to serueth this waste? This oyntment myght haue bene well solde, and gyuen to the poore. When Iesus vnderstode that, he sayd vnto them: why trouble ye the wamā? For she hath wrought ☞ a good worke vpon me. For ye haue the poore alwayes with you: But me shall ye not haue alwayes. And in that she hath cast this oyntment on my body, she dyd it to burye me. Uerely I say vnto you: where soeuer this gospell shal be preached in all the world, there shal also this that she hath done be tolde for a memoryall of her.

Then one of the twelue (whiche was cal∣led Iudas Iscarioth) wente vnto the cheyfe preestes, and sayde vnto them: What wyll ye gyue me, and I wyll delyuer hym vnto you? And they appoynted vnto hym thyrtie peces of syluer. And frō that tyme forth, he sought oportunite to betray hym. The fyrst day of swete bread, the disciples came to Iesus, say∣enge vnto hym: where wylt thou that we pre∣pare for the, to eate the ☞ Passeouer? And he he sayd: go in to the citye, to suche a man, and saye vnto hym, the mayster sayeth: My tyme is at hande, I wyll kepe myne Easter by the, with my disciples. And the disciples dyd as Iesus had appoynted them, and they made redy the Passecuer. When the euen was come, he sat downe with the twelue. And as they dyd eate, he sayd. Uerely I say vnto you that one of you shall betraye me. And they were excedyng forowfull, & began euery one of them to say vnto him: Lorde, is it I? He an swered & sayd: he that dyppeth his hand with me in the dysshe, the same shall betray me.

The sonne of man truely gothe, as it is wrytten of hym: but wo vnto that man, by [unspec C] whom the sonne of man is betrayed. It had bene good for that man, yf he had not bene borne. Then Iudas whiche betrayed hym, answered, and sayde: Mayster, is it I?

He sayde vnto hym: thou hast sayde. When they were eatyng, Iesus toke brende, & when he had gyuen thank{is}, he brake it, & gaue it to the disciples, & sayd: Take, eate, this is my body. And he toke the cup, and thanked, and

gaue it them, sayenge: drynke ye all of this. For this is my bloode (whiche is of the newe testament) that is shed for many, for the re∣myssyon of synnes. But I saye vnto you: I wyll not drynke hence forth of this fruyte of the vyne tree, vntyll that daye, when I shall drinke it newe with you in my fathers kyng∣dome. And when they had sayd grace, they went out vnto mount Oliuete. Then sayeth Iesus vnto them: all ye shall be offended by∣cause of me this nyght. For it is wrytten:

I wyl smyte the shepeheerde, and the shepe of the flocke shal be scattered abrode. But af∣ter I am rysen agayne, I wyll go before you in to Galile. Peter answered, and sayde vnto hym: Though all men be offended bycause of the, yet wyll I not be offended. Iesus sayd vnto hym: Uerely I say vnto the, that in this same nyght, before the cocke crowe, y^u shalte denye me thryse. Peter sayde vnto hym. Yea, though I shulde dye with the, yet wyl I not deny the. Likewyse also sayd al the disciples.

Then came Iesus with them vnto a farme [unspec D] place (whiche is called Gethsemane) & sayde vnto the disciples: syt ye here whyle I go and praye yonder. And he toke with hym Peter & the two sonnes of Zebede, and began to waxe sorowfull and heuye. Then sayde Iesus vn∣to them: My soule is heuye euen vnto the death. Tary ye here: and watche with me.

And he went a lytell further, and fell flat on his face, and prayed, sayenge. O my father, yf it be possyble, let this cup passe from me: neuerthelesse, not as I wyl, but as thou wylt. And he came vnto the disciples, and founde them a slepe, and sayeth vnto Peter: What, coulde ye not watche w^t me one houre: watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptacyon. The spirite is wyllynge, but the flesshe is weyke. He went away once agayn & prayed, sayenge. O my father, yf this cup maye not passe away from me, excepte I drynke of it, thy wyll be fulfylled. And he came and found them a slepe agayn: for theyr eyes were heuy. And he left them and went agayne, & prayed the thyrde tyme, sayenge the same wordes.

Then cometh he to his disciples, and sayeth vnto them. Slepe on nowe, & take your rest. Beholde, the houre is at hande, and the son of man is betrayed in to the handes of syn∣ners. Ryse, let vs be goynge: Behold, he is at hande that dothe betray me.

Whyle he yet spake: lo, Iudas one of the nombre of the twelue, came, and with hym a [unspec E] great multitude, with swerdes and staues, sent from the cheyfe Preestes & elders of the peple. But he that betrayed hym, gaue them a token, sayenge. Whom so euer I kysse, that same is he, holde hym fast. And forthwith he came to Iesus, and sayde: hayle mayster: and kyssed him. And Iesus sayd vnto him: frende wherfore arte thou come? Then came they, and layde handes on Iesus, and toke hym. And beholde, one of them whiche were with Iesus, stretched out his hande, and drewe his swerde, and stroke a seruaunte of the hyghe preest, & smote of his eare. Then sayde Iesus vnto him: put vp thy swerde into his sheeth.

For ☞ all they that take the swerde, shall peryshe with the swerde. Thynkest thou that I can not now pray to my father, and he shal gyue me ❀ (euen novve) more then. xii. ☞ l••∣gions of angels? But howe then shall the scriptures be fulfylled? for this must it be. In that same houre sayd Iesus to the multi¦tude: ye be come out as it were vnto a there, with swerd{is} and staues, for to take me. I sat dayly with you, teachynge in the temple, and ye toke me not. But all this is done, that the scriptures of the prophettes myght be ful fylled. Then all the disciples forsoke hym, and fled. And they toke Iesus, & led hym to Cayphas the hygh preest, where the Scribes and the elders were assembled.

But Peter folowed hym a farre of, vnto [unspec F] the hygh preestes palace: and went 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and sat w^t the seruauntes, to se the ende. The theyf preestes and the elders, and all the counsell, sought false wytnesse agaynst Iesus (for to put hym to death) but founde none: yea, whē many false wytnesses came, yet founde they none. At the last came two false wytnesses, & sayde. This felowe sayde. I am able to de∣stroy the temple of God, & to buylde it agayn in thre dayes. And the cheyfe preest arose, & sayde vnto hym: answerest thou nothynge? Why do these beare wytnesse agaynst the?

But Iesus helde his peace. And the cheyfe preest answered & sayde vnto hym: I charge the by the lyuyng God, that thou tel vs why∣ther thou be Chryst the sonne of God. Iesus sayeth vnto hym, thou hast sayde. Neuerthe∣lesse I saye vnto you, here after shall ye se the sonne of man syttyng on the ryght hande of power, & comyng in the cloud{is} of the skye.

Then the hygh preest rent his clothes say enge: he hath spoken blasphemye: what nede we of any mo wytnesses? Beholde, nowe ye haue herde his blasphemye: what thynke ye? They answered, & sayde: he is worthy to dye. Then dyd they spyt in his face, & bufferted him with fystes. And other smote hym on his face with the palme of theyr hand{is}, sayenge: tell vs thou Christ, who is he that smote the?

Peter sat without in the palace. And a damsel came to hym, sayeng: Thou also wast with Iesus of Galile: but he denyed before them al, sayeng. I wote not what thou sayest When he was gone out in to the porche, an other wenche sawe hym, and sayd vnto them that were there. This felowe was also with Iesus of Nazareth. And agayne he denyed with an othe: (sayenge) I do not knowe the man. And after a whyle, came vnto hym they (that stode by) and sayd vnto Peter. surely thou arte euen one of them, for thy speache be wrayeth the. Then began he to curse and to sweare, that he knewe not the man. And im∣mediately the cocke crew. And Peter remem¦bred the worde of Iesu, which sayd vnto him: before the cocke crowe, thou shalte denye me thryse: and he went out, and wepte bytterly.

¶ Christ so delyuered vnto Pilate. Iudas hangeth hym self Christ is crucified amonge theues. He dyeth and is buryed Watche men kepe the graue.

WHen the mornynge was come, all the cheyfe preestes and the elders of the people helde a counsell agaynst Iesus, to put hym to death, and brought hym bound & de∣lyuered hym vnto Poncius Pilate the debite

Then Iudas (whiche had betrayed hym) seynge that he was cōdemned, repented hym selfe, and brought agayne the thyrtie plates of syluer to the cheyfe Preestes and elders, sayenge: I haue synned, betrayeng the inno∣cent bloode. And they sayde: What is that to vs? Se thou to that. And he cast downe the syluet plates in the temple, & departed and went and hanged hym selfe. And the cheyfe preestes toke the syluer plates and sayde: It is not lawfull for to put them in to the trea∣sure, bycause it is the pryce of bloode.

And they toke counsell: and bought with them a potters felde to bury straungers in. Wherfore that felde is called ❀ (Haceldema, that is) the felde of bloode, vntyll this daye. Then was fulfylled, that whiche was spokē ☞ by Ieremy the prophet, sayeng: and they toke thyrtie syluer plates, the pryce of hym that was valued, whom they bought of the chyldren of Israell, & gaue them for the pot∣ters felde, as the Lorde appoynted me.

Iesus stode before the debite: and the [unspec B] debite asked hym, sayenge: art thou the kyng of the Iues? Iesus sayeth vnto hym. Thou sayest. And when he was accused of the cheyf preestes and elders, he answered nothynge. Then sayeth Pilate vnto hym: hearest thou not, howe many wytnesses they laye agaynst the? And he answered hym to neuer a worde in so moch that the debite marueyled greatly

At that feast, the debite was wonte to de∣delyuer vnto the people a prysoner, whome they wolde desyre. He had then a notable pry∣soner, called Barrabas. Therfore, when they were gathered togyther, Pilate sayd: Why ther wyl ye that I gyue loose vnto you? Bar¦rabas, or Iesus, which is called Chryst? For he knewe, that for enuye they had delyuered hym. When he was set downe to gyue iudge¦ment, his wyfe sent vnto hym, sayenge: haue thou nothyng to do with that iust man. For I haue suffered many thynges this daye in slepe bycause of hym. But the cheyfe preest{is} and the elders persuaded the peple, that they shulde aske Barrabas, and destroy Iesus.

The debite answered, and sayde vnto [unspec C] them: Whyther of the twayne, wyll ye, that I let loose vnto you? They sayde: Barra¦bas. Pilate sayde vnto them: What shall I do then with Iesus, whiche is called Chryste They all sayde vnto hym: let hym be cruci∣fied. The debite sayde: What euyll hath he done? But they cryed the more, sayenge: let hym be crucified. When Pylate sawe that he coulde preuayle nothynge, but that more bu∣synes was made, he toke water, and wasshed his handes before the people, sayenge: I am innocent of the bloode, of this iust persone, ye shal se. Then answered all the people, and sayd: his bloode be on vs, and on our chyl∣dren. Then let he Barrabas lose vnto them and scourged Iesus, and delyuered hym to be crucified.

Then the souldiours of the debite toke Iesus in the comen hall, and gathered vnto hym all the company. And they stryped hym, and put on hym a purple robe, and platted a crowne of thornes and put vpon his heade & a reede in his ryght hande: & bowed the knee before hym: and mocked hym, sayeng: Nayle kynge of the Iues: and when they had spyt vpon him, they toke the reede, and smote him on the head. And after that they had mocked hym, they toke the robe of hym agayne, and put his owne rayment on hym, and led hym awaye to crucifie hym.

And as they came out, they founde a mā of Cyren (named Symon) hym they compel∣led [unspec D] to beare his crosse. And they came vnto the place whiche is called Golgotha (that is to say, a place of deade mens sculles) & gaue hym vyneger to drinke, mengled w^t gal. And whē he had tasted therof, he wolde not drinke Whē they had crucified him, they parted his garmentes, & did cast lottes: that it might be fulfylled which was spoken by the prophet.

They parted my garmentes among them: and vpon my vesture dyd they cast lottes.

And they sat & watched hym there, and set vp ouer his head the cause of his death, writ∣ten: This is Iesus the kynge of the Iues. Then were there two theues crucified with hym, one on the ryght hande, and an other on the lefte.

They that passed by, reuyled hym, wag∣ynge theyr heades, and sayeng: thou that de∣stroyedst [unspec E] the temple of God & dydest buylde it in thre dayes, saue thy selfe. If thou be the sonne of god, come downe from the crosse. Lykewyse also the hygh preestes, mockynge hym with the Scribes, and elders sayde. He saued other, hym selfe can he not saue. If he be the kynge of Israel: let hym nowe come downe from the crosse, & we wyll byleue hym.

He trusted in God, let hym delyuer hym nowe, yf he wyll haue hym: for he sayde, I am the son of God, The theues also, which were crucified with hym, cast the same in his teeth. From the syxte houre was there darkenes ouer all the lande vnto the nynth houre. And aboute the nynth houre, Iesus cryed, with a loude voyce, sayenge: Eli, Eli lamasabach∣thani. That is to saye: My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Some of them that stode there, when they herde that, sayde:

This man calleth for Elias. And streyghte waye one of them ran, and toke a sponge, and when he had fylled it full of vyneger, he put it on a teede, and gaue hym to drynke. Other sayde, let be: let vs se whyther Elias [unspec F] wyll come, and delyuer hym. Iesus, when he had cryed agayne with a loude voyce, yelded vp the goost. And beholde, the vayle of the temple dyd rent into two partes, from the top to the bottom, and the earthe dyd quake, and the stones rent and graues did open: & many bodyes of sayntes whiche slepte, arose, and went out of the graues after his resurreccion and came in to the holy Citye, and appeared vnto many. When the Centurion and they that were with hym watchynge Iesus, sawe the earth quake, and those thynges whiche happened, they feared greatly, sayenge. Truely, this was the sonne of God. And many women there were (beholdynge hym a farre of) which folowed Iesus from Galile, ministryng vnto hym. Amonge whiche was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of Iames and Ioses, and the mother of Zebe∣des chyldren.

When the euen was come there came [unspec G] a ryche man of Aramathia named Ioseph, whiche also was Iesus disciple. He wente to Pilate and begged the body of Iesus. Then Pilate cōmaunded the body to be delyuered.

And when Ioseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a cleane lynnen cloth, and layd it in his new tombe, which he had hewen out euen in the rocke, & rolled a great stone to the dore of the sepulcre and departed. And there was Mary Magdalen & the other Mary syttyng ouer agaynst the sepulcre. The next day that folowed ☞ the day of preparynge, the hygh preestes & Pharises came togyther vnto Pilate, sayeng. Syr, we remember, that this deceyuer sayd whyle he was yet alyue. After thre dayes I wyll aryse agayne. Cō∣maunde therfore that the sepulcre be made sure vntyll the thirde daye, lest his disciples come, and steale hym away, and say vnto the people: he is rysen from the deade, & the laste errour shal be worse thē the fyrst. Pilate sayd vnto them: Ye haue the watche go your way make it as sure as ye can. So they wente, and made the sepulcre sure with watche men and sealed the stone. ⊢

¶ The resurreccion of Christ. The hygh preestes gyue the souldiours money to say that Christ was 〈◊〉〈◊〉 o•••• of his graue. Christ appeareth to his disciples, and sendeth them forth to preache, and to baptyse.

CAPI. XXVIII. ✚

VPon an ☞ euenyng of the Sabbothes [unspec A] whiche dawneth the fyrste daye of the Sabbothes, came Mary Magdalen, and the other Mary, to so the sepulcre. And beholde, there was a great earth quake. For the angell of the lorde descended from heuen, and came and rolled backe the stone from the dore, and sat vpon it. His countenaunce was lyke lyghtenynge, and his rayment whyte as snowe. And for feare of hym the kepers were astonyed, and became as deade men.

The angell answered, and sayde vnto the women: feare ye not. For I know, that ye seke Iesus whiche was crucified: he is not here: he is rysen as he sayd. Come se the place where that the lorde was layde: & go quicklye and tell his disciples, that he is tysen agayne from the deade. And beholde, he goeth before you in to Galile, there ye shall se hym. Lo, I haue tolde you. ⊢

✚ And they departed quycklye from the sepulcre, with feare and greate ioye, and dyd [unspec B] runne, to brynge his disciples worde. And as they went to tell his disciples: beholde, Iesus met them, sayenge. All hayle. And they came and helde hym by the feete, and worshypped hym. Then sayde Iesus vnto them: be not afrayde. ☞ Go tell my brethren, that they go in to Galile, and there shall they se me. When they were gone: beholde, some of the

kepers came in to the citye and shewed vnto the hygh preestes, all the thynges that had happened. And they gathered them togyther with the elders, and toke counsell, and gaue large money vnto the souldyours, sayenge: Say ye, that his disciples came by nyght, & stole hym away whyle ye slepte. And yf this come to the rulers cares, we wyll persuade hym, and saue you harmelesse. So they toke the money, and dyd as they were taughte. And this sayenge is noysed among the Iues vnto this daye. ⊢

✚ Then the .xi. disciples went awaye in to [unspec D] Galile, in to a mountayne where Iesus had appoynted them. And when they sawe hym, they worshypped hym. But some douted. And Iesus came & spake vnto them, sayeng: All power is gyuen vnto me in heuen, and in earth. Go ye therfore, and teache all na∣cions, baptisyng them in the name of the fa∣ther, and of the sonne, and of the holy goost. Teachyng them to obserue al thynges, what soeuer I haue cōmaunded you. And lo I am with you alwaye, euen vntyll the ende of the worlde. ⊢
