¶ The O••••yer of Iohn̄ the Baptyst. The baptyme of Chryst his fastyng, his preachyng, & the callyng of Peter, Andrewe, Iames and Iohn̄, Chryst healeth the man with the vncleane spirite, helpeth Peters mother in lawe, & clenseth the leper.

THe begynnyng of the Gos∣pell [unspec A] of Iesu Chryst the sonne of God, as it is wrytten in the Pro∣phettes, * 1.1 Beholde, I sende my messenger before thy face, whiche shall pre∣pare thy way before the. The voyce of a cryer in the wyldernes: * 1.2 prepare ye the way of the lorde, and make his pathes streyght. * 1.3 Iohn̄ dyd baptyse in the wyldernes, and preached the baptyme of * 1.4 repentaunce, for the remys∣syon of synnes. And all the lande of Iurye & they of Ierusalem, went out vnto hym, and were all baptised of hym in the ryuer Iordan confessyng theyr synnes. * 1.5 Iohn̄ was clothed with camels heere, & with a gyrdell of a skyn about his loynes. And he dyd eate locustes & wylde hony, & preached, sayenge. * 1.6 He that is stronger then I, cometh after me, whose shoo latchet I am not worthy to stoupe downe, & vnlose: I haue baptised you with water: but he shall babtyse you with the holy goost. ⊢

And it came to passe in those dayes, that [unspec B] Iesus came from Nazareth, of Galile: * 1.7 and was baptised of Iohn̄ in Iordan. And assone as he was come vp out of the water. * 1.8 ☞ he sawe heuen open, & ☞ the spirite descendyng vpō hym like a doue: And there came a voyce frō heuen. Thou arte my dere son in whom I delyte. And immediatly, * 1.9 the spirite droue hym into wyldernes: and he was there in the wyldernes. xl. dayes, & was tempted of Satā & was with wylde beastes. * 1.10 And the angels ministred vnto hym. After that Iohn̄ was ta¦ken * 1.11 Iesus came in to Galile ‡ 1.12 preachynge the gospel, of the kyngdom of god, & sayeng. The tyme is come, & the kyngdom of God is at hande * 1.13 repente, and byleue the Gospell.

* 1.14 As he walked by the see of Galile, he sawe Simon & Andrew his brother, castyng nett{is} into the see, for they were fysshers. And Iesus sayd vnto them: folowe me, and I wyl make * 1.15 you to become fyshers of mē. And streyght waye, they forsoke theyr nettes, and folowed hym. And when he had gone a lytell further thence, he saw Iames the sonne of Zebede, & Iohn̄ his brother, which also were in the ship mendyng theyr nettes. And anone he called them. And they lefte theyr father Zebede in the shyp with the hyred seruauntes, and fo∣lowed hym.

* 1.16 And they came in to Capernaum: and streyght way on the Sabboth dayes, he en∣tred [unspec C] in to the Synagoge, and taughte. And they were astonyed at his learnynge. * 1.17 For he taughte them as one that had auctoryte, and not as the Scribes * 1.18 And there was in theyr Synagoge a man vexed with an vn∣cleane spirite, and he cryed, sayenge. Alas, what haue we to do with the, thou Iesus of Nazareth? Arte thou come to destroye vs?

I knowe the what thou arte, euen that holy one of God. And Iesus rebuked hym sayenge: Holde thy peace, and come oute of the man. And when the vncleane spirite had torne hym, and cryed with a loude voyce, he came out of hym. And they were all amased, in so moche that they demaunded one of an other amonge them selues, sayenge: What thynge is this? What newe doctrine is this? For with auctorite cōmaunded he the foule spirites, and they obeyed hym. And imme∣diatly his fame spred abrode throughout all the region borderynge on Galile.

And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagoge * 1.19 they entred in to the house of Symon & Andrew, with Iames and Iohn̄. But Simons mother in lawe lay sycke of a

feuer. And anone they tel hym of her. And he came, and toke her by the hande: and lyft her vp: and immedyatly the feuer forsoke her, & she ministred vnto them. And at euen when the son was downe, they brought vnto hym all that were dyseased, and them that were vexed with deuyls.

And all the citye was gathered togyther [unspec D] at the dore, & he healed many that were sycke of dyuers diseases, and * 1.20 cast out many de∣uyls, and suffered not the deuyls to speake, bycause they knewe hym. And in the mor∣nynge very early, Iesus (when he was rysen vp) departed, and wente out in to a solitarye place, and there prayed. And Symon & they that were with hym, folowed after hym. And when they had founde hym, they sayde vnto hym: all men seke for the. And he sayde vnto them: let vs go in to the nexte townes, that I maye preache there also: for therfore am I come. And he preached in theyr Synago∣ges in all Galile, and cast the deuyls out. * 1.21 And there came a leper to hym, besechynge hym, and knelynge downe, and sayeng vnto hym, yf thou wylt, thou caust make me clene. And Iesus had compassyon on hym, and put forth his hande, touched hym, and sayth vn∣to hym: I wyll, be thou cleane. And as soone as he had spoken, immediatly the leprosye de¦parted from hym, & he sent hym away forth∣with, and sayth vnto hym. * 1.22 Se thou say no¦thynge to any man: but get the hence, shewe thy selfe to the Preest, and offer for thy clen∣synge, those thynges which Moses cōmaun¦ded, for a wytnesse vnto them. But he (assone as he was departed) began to tell many thyn¦ges, and to publysshe the sayenge: in so moch that Iesus coulde no more openly enter in to the citye, but was without in deserte places. And they came to hym from euery quarter.

¶ He healeth the mā of the palsye, calleth Leui the customer, ••ateth with open synners, and excuseth his disciples.

CAPI. II.

AFter a fewe dayes also, he entred in to [unspec A] Capernaum agayne, and it was noy∣sed that he was in the house. And anon many were gathered togyther, in so moche that nowe there was no rowme to receyue them, no not so moch as about the dore. And he preached the worde vnto them. * 1.23 And they came vnto hym, bryngynge one sycke of the palsye, whiche was borne of foure men. And when they coulde not come nygh vnto hym for prease, they vncouered the roofe of the house that he was in. And when they had bro¦ken vp the rofe, they dyd (with coordes) let downe the bed wherin the sycke of the palsye lay. When Iesus sawe theyr fayth, he sayde vnto the sycke of the palsye: * 1.24 sonne thy syn∣nes be forgyuen the.

But there were certayne of the scribes syt∣tynge [unspec B] there, and thynkynge in theyr hertes: why dothe he speake this blasphemyes? * 1.25 Who can forgyue synnes, but God onely?

And immediatly when Iesus perceyued in his spirite, that they so thought within them selues, he sayeth vnto them: Why thynke ye suche thynges in your hertes? Whyther is it easyer to saye to the sycke of the palsye: Thy synnes be forgyuen the: or to say, aryse, take vp thy bed, & walke? But that ye may knowe that the sonne of man hath power in earth to forgyue synnes, he spake vnto the sycke of the palsye: I saye vnto the, * 1.26 aryse, and take vp thy bed, & get the hence vnto thyne owne house. And immediatly he arose, toke vp the bed, & went forth before them all: in so moche that they were all amased, & glorified God, sayenge: we neuer sawe it on this fassyon.

* 1.27 And he went agayne ••ned the see, and al the people resorted vnto hym, and he taught them. And as Iesus passed by, he sawe L••u•• the sonne of Alphene, syttynge at the receyte of custome, and sayde vnto hym: folowe me. And he arose, and folowed hym. And it came to passe that when Iesus sat at meate in his house, many publicans and synners sat also togyther at meate with Iesus and his disci∣ples. For there were many that folowed him.

And when the scribes and Pharises same [unspec C] hym eate with Publicans and synners, they sayde vnto his disciples: howe happeneth it, that he eateth and drinketh with Publicans & synners? When Iesus herde that, he sayde vnto them: They that be hole, haue no nede of the phisician, but they that are sycke. * 1.28 I came not to call the ryghteous, but synners to repentaunce. * 1.29 And the disciples of Iohn̄ and the pharises dyd fast: and they come and say vnto hym. Why do the disciples of Iohn̄ & of the Pharises fast, but thy disciples fast not. And Iesus sayd vnto them: can the chyl∣dren of the weddynge fast whyle the bryde∣grome is with them? As longe as they haue the brydegrome with them, they can not fast. But the dayes wyl come, whē the brydgrome shalbe taken away from them, and then shal they fast in those dayes.

No man also soweth a pece of new cloth vn [unspec D] to an olde garment, els taketh he awaye the new pece therof from the olde, & so is the rent worse. And no man powreth newe wyne in to olde bottels, els the new wyne doth brast the bottels, and the wyne runneth oute, and the

bottels are marred. But newe wyne must be put in to newe bottels. * 1.30 And it chaunsed, ❀ (agayne) that he went thorowe the corne fel∣des on the Sabboth dayes, and his disciples began by the way to plucke the eares of corue And the pharises sayd vnto him: behold, why do they on the sabboth dayes, that whiche is not lawfull? And he sayde vnto them: Haue ye neuer red what Dauid dyd when he had nede, and was an hungred, both he, and they that were with hym? * 1.31 Nowe he wente in to the house of god in the dayes of ☞ Abiathar the hygh preest, and dyd eate the shewbreade (which is not lawfull to eate, but for the pree∣stes onely) & gaue also to them whiche were with hym? And he sayd vnto them: the Sab∣both was made for man, and not man for the Sabboth. Therfore is the son of man, lorde also of the Sabboth.

¶ He helpeth the man with the dryed hande, choseth his aposties, and casteth out the vncleane spirite, whiche the pharisea ascribe vnto the deuyll. The brother, syster and mother of Chryst.

CAPI. III.

ANd he entred agayne in to the Syna∣goge, [unspec A] and there was a man there which had a * 1.32 wethered hande. And they wat∣ched hym, whyther he wold heale hym on the Sabboth daye, that they myght accuse hym. And he sayd vnto the man which had the we∣thered hande: aryse, & stande in the myddes. And he sayeth vnto them, whyther is it law∣full to do good on the Sabboth dayes, or to do euyl? to saue lyfe, or to kyll? but they helde theyr peace. And when he had loked rounde a¦bout on them, with anger, mournyng on the blyndnes of theyr hertes, he sayth to the man * 1.33 stretch forth thyne hande. And he stretched it out. * 1.34 And his hande was restored, euen as hole as the other. ⊢

* 1.35 And the Pharises departed, and streyght way gathered a counsell (with them that be∣longed to Herode) agaynste hym, that they myght destroy hym. But Iesus auoyded w^t his disciples to the see. * 1.36 And a great multi∣tude folowed hym frome Galile: and frome Iurye, and from Ierusalem, and from Idu∣mea, and from beyonde Iordane, * 1.37 and they that dwelled aboute Tyre & Sidon, a great multitude of men: which (whē they had herde what thynges he dyd) came vnto hym.

And Iesus cōmaunded his disciples, that [unspec B] a shyp shulde wayte on hym, bycause of the people, leest they shulde thronge hym. For he had healed many, in so moche that they prea∣sed vpon hym, for to touche him, as many as had plages. And when the vncleane spirites sawe hym, they fel downe before hym, & cryed sayenge: thou arte the sonne of God. And he straytely charged them, that they shulde not make hym knowen. And he wente vp in to a mountayne, and calleth vnto hym whom he wolde, and they came vnto hym. * 1.38 And he or∣deyned the twelue that they shulde be with hym, and that he myght sende them forthe to preache: and that they myght haue power to heale sycknesses, and to cast out deuyls.

And he gaue vnto Simon to name, Pe∣ter. [unspec C] And he called Iames the sonne of Zebede and Iohn̄, Iames brother, and gaue them to name Boanarges, which is to say, the sonnes of thonder. And Andrewe, and Philip, & Bad thylmewe, and Mathew, and Thomas, and Iames the son of Alphene, and Thaddeus, & Simon of Canaan, and Iudas Iscarioth: whiche also betrayed hym. And they came in to the house, and the people assembled togy∣ther agayne, so that they had not leysure, so moche as to eate breade. And when they that belonged vnto him, herde of it, they went out to laye handes vpon hym. For they sayde: he is mad. And the Scribes which came downe from Ierusalem, sayde: He hath Belzebub, & * 1.39 hy the cheyfe deuyll, casteth he out deuyls. And he called them vnto hym, and sayd vn∣to them in parables.

Nowe can Satan dryue out Satan? And [unspec D] yf a realme be deuyded agaynst it selfe, that realme can not endure. And yf an house be deuyded agaynst it selfe, that house can not contynue. And yf Satan make insurreccyon agaynst hym selfe, and be deuided, he can not contynue, but hath an ende. No man can en∣ter in to a strong mannes house, and take a∣waye his goodes: excepte he fyrst bynde the strong man, and then spoyle his house. Uere¦ly I say vnto you, all synnes shall be forgy∣uen vnto mennes chyldren, and blasphemies wherwith so euer they haue blasphemed.

* 1.40 But he that speaketh blasphemye agaynst the holy goost, hath neuer forgyuenesse, but is in daunger of eternall damnacyon. For they sayde: he hath an vncleane spirite.

* 1.41 There came also his mother and his bre∣thren, & stode without, & sent vnto hym to cal hym oute. And the people sat aboute hym, & sayd vnto hym: beholde, thy mother and thy ☞ brethren seke for the without. And he an∣swered them, sayenge: Who is my mother & my brethren? And when he had loked rounde aboute on his disciples, whiche sat in com∣passe aboute hym, he sayd: Beholde, my mo∣ther and my brethren. For who soeuer dothe the wyll of God, the same is my brother and my syster and mother.

CAPI. IIII. ✚

ANd he began agayne, to teache by the [unspec A] see syde. And there gathered togyther vnto hym moch people, so greatly that he entred into a shyp, * 1.42 and sat in the see, and all the peple was by the see syde on the shore. And he taught them many thynges by para∣bles / and sayde vnto them in his doctryne? Herken to: beholde / * 1.43 there went out a sower to sowe. And it fortuned as he sowed / that some fell by the way syde / and the foules of the ayre came, & deuoured it vp: Some fell on stony grounde where it had not moch earth: and immediatly sprange vp, bycause it had not depth of earth: but as soone as the sonne was vp, it caught heate: and bycause it had not rotynge, it wethered away. And some fell amonge thornes, and the thornes grewe vp, and choked it / & it gaue no fruyte. And some fell vpon good ground, and dyd yelde fruyte that sprang vp, and grewe / & brought forth / some thyrtye folde / & some syxtye folde / and some an hundred folde. And he sayde vnto them: he that hath eares to heare let hym heare. ⊢ And when he was alone, they that were aboute hym with the twelue asked him of the parable. And he sayd vnto them. * 1.44 To you is it gyuen to knowe the mystery of the kyngdome of God.

But vnto them that are without, al thyn∣ges [unspec B] happen by parables: that when they se / they may se, and not discerne, and when they heare, * 1.45 they may heare, and not vnderstand: lest at any tyme they shulde turne, and theyr spn̄es shulde be forgyuen them. And he sayd vnto them: knowe ye not this parable? and howe then wyll ye know all other parables? * 1.46 The sower soweth the worde. And they (wherof some be rehearsed to be by the waye syde) are those, where the worde is sowen: And when they heare / Satan cometh imme∣diatly, and taketh away the worde that was sowen in theyr hertes. And likewyse the other that receyue seede in to the stony ground, are they: whiche when they heare the worde / at once receyue it with gladnesse, yet haue no tote in them selues / & so endure but a tyme: & anone when trouble and persecucion aryseth for the wordes sake / they fall immediatly. There be other also that receyue seede in to thornes & those are soche as heare the worde, and the cares of this worlde and the deceyt∣fulnesse of ryches & the lustes of other thyn∣ges / entre in and choke the worde / and it is made vnfruytfull: & other there be that haue receyued seede in to a good grounde: they are soche that heare the worde / and receyue it / so that one corne doth bryng forth thyrtye, some sixtye, some an hundred.

And he sayde vnto them: * 1.47 is the candle lyghted, to be put vnder a busshell / or vnder the table? Is it not lyghted to be put on a [unspec C] candelstycke? * 1.48 For there is nothyng so pre∣uy / that shall not be opened: neyther hath it ben so secret, but that it shal come abrode. Yf any man haue eares to heare / let hym heare. And he sayde vnto them: take hede what ye heare. * 1.49 With what measure ye meate, with the same shall other men measure vnto you agayne. And vnto you that heare, shall more be gyuen. For * 1.50 vnto hym that hath, shall it be gyuen, and from hym that hath not, shall be taken awaye / euen that whiche he hath. And he sayde: so is the kyngdome of God / euen as * 1.51 yf a man shulde sowe seede in the grounde and shulde slepe, and ryse vy nyght and daye / and the seede shulde sprynge and growe vp, whyle he is not aware. For the earth bryngeth forth fruyte of her selfe: fyrste the blade, then the eare, after the full come in the eare. But when the fruyte is brought forth, anone he thrusteth in the syckle / by∣cause the haruest is come. And he sayd: where vnto shall we lyken the kyngdome of God? or with what comparyson shall we compare it? * 1.52 It is lyke a grayne of mustarde seede: which when it is sowen in the earth / is lesse then all seedes that be in the earth: when it is sowen, it groweth vp / and is greater then all herbes: and beareth great braunches so that the foules of the ayre may make theyr nestes vnder the shadowe of it. * 1.53 And with many soche parables spake he the word vnto them after as they myght heare it.

But without parable spake he nothynge [unspec D] vnto them. But when they were alone, & he expounded all thynges to his disciples.

And he commaunded them, to make them all syt downe by companyes vpon the grene grasse. And they sat downe here arowe, and there a∣rowe, by hundreds and by fyftyes.

ANd * 1.63 the Pharyses came togyther vn∣to [unspec A] hym, & dyuerse of the Scribes which came from Ierusalem. And when they sawe certayne of his dyscyples eate breade with comen (that is to saye / with vnwasshen) handes, they complayned. For the Pharyses and all the Iues, excepte they wasshe theyr handes ofte / eate not, obseruynge the trady∣cyons of the elders. And when they come frō the market, excepte they washe, they eate not And many other thynges there be, whiche they haue taken vpō them to obserue, as the wasshynge of cuppes and cruses, and brasen vessels, and of tables.

Then asked hym the Pharyses & Scry∣bes: why walke not thy discyples accordynge [unspec B] to the custome, ordeyned by the elders, but eate breade with vnwasshen handes? He an∣swered, and sayd vnto them: well prophesyed Esaias of you, ypocrytes / as it is wrytten: * 1.64 This people honoureth me, with theyr lyp¦pes / but theyr herte is far from me: howbeit, in vayne do they serue me, teachyng the doc∣trynes and cōmaundementes of men.

And he sayde vnto them: well, ye cast a syde the cōmaunde¦ment of God, to maynteyne your owne con∣stitucyons. * 1.65 For Moses sayde: honour thy father & thy mother: and ‡ 1.66 who so curseth fa∣ther or mother, let hym dye the death. But ye saye: a man shall saye to father or mother / Corban: whiche is: ☞ what gyfte soeuer cō∣meth fro me / shall be for thy prophet. And so ye suffre hym no moore to do ought for his father or his mother, and make the worde of God of none effecte, through your owne con∣stitucyon whiche ye haue ordeyned. And ma∣ny soch thynges do ye.

And when he had called all the people vn¦to [unspec C] hym, he sayde vnto them: herken vnto me, euery one of you / and vnderstande. * 1.67 There is nothynge with out a man that can defyle hym, when it entreth into hym, but the thyn∣ges whiche procede out of a man, those are they that defyle the man. Yf any man haue eares to heare / let hym heare. And when he came in to the house awaye from the people / his disciples asked hym of the similitude. And he sayd vnto them: are ye also so great∣lye without vnderstandynge? Do ye not yet perceyue, that what soeuer thynge from without, entreth into a man, it can not defyle hym, bycause it entreth not in to his herte, but in to the bely / & goeth out in to the draught / pourgynge out all meates? And he sayde: that which cōmeth out of a man, defyleth the man. For frō within, euen out of the herte of men procede euyl thoughtes / aduoutrye / for nicacyō, murther / theft, couetousnes, fraude deceyte / vnclennesse / a wycked eye / blasphe∣myes / pryde / folyshnesse: all these euyll thyn∣ges come from within / and defyle a man. * 1.68 And from thence he rose / and went in to the borders of Tyre and Sydon: and entred in to an house, and wolde that no man shuld haue knowen. But he coulde not be hyd. For a certayne woman (whose doughter had a foule spiryte) as soone as she herde of hym / came / and fell at his feete. The woman was a Greke out of the nacion of Syrophenicia / and she besought hym / that he wold cast out the deuyll from her doughter. But Iesus sayde vnto her: let the chyldren fyrst be fed.

For it is not mete, to take the chyldrens [unspec D] breade, and to cast it vnto whelpes. She an∣swered and sayde vnto hym: euen so Lorde / * 1.69 neuerthelesse, the whelpes also eate vnder the table of the chyldrens crommes.

And assoone as they were come, they sayd vnto him: Mayster, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou consyderest not the outward apperaūce of men, but teachest the way of God truely: Is it lawfull to pay tribute to Cesar, or not? Ought we to gyue, or ought we not to gyue? But he vnderstode theyr simulacyon, & sayde vnto them: Why tempte ye me? Brynge me a peny, that I may se it. And they brought it.

And he sayeth vnto them: Whose is this ymage and superscripcyon? And they sayde vnto hym: Cesars. And Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them: * 1.138 Gyue to Cesar the thyn∣ges that belonge to Cesar: and to God, the thynges whiche perteyne to God. And they meruayled at hym,

There came also vnto hym the Saduces* 1.139 whiche say that there is no resurreccyon. And they asked hym, sayenge: Mayster ‡ 1.140 Mo¦ses wrote vnto vs, yf any mans brother dye, and leaue his wyfe behynde hym, and leaue no chyldren, that his brother shulde take his wyfe, and reyse vp seede vnto his brother. There were seuen brethrē, and the fyrst toke a wyfe: and when he dyed, lefte no seede be∣hynde hym. And the seconde toke her, and dyed: neyther left he any seed. And the thyrde lykewyse. And seuen had her, & lefte no seede behynde them. Last of al the wyfe dyed also. In the resurreccion therfore, when they shall ryse agayne: whose wyfe shal she be of them? For seuen had her to wyfe. And Iesus an∣swered, and sayd vnto them: Do ye not ther∣fore erre, bycause ye vnderstand not the scrip¦tures, neyther the power of God?

For when they shall ryse agayne frome [unspec C] death, they neyther marry, nor are maryed: but are as the angels whiche are in heuen.

As touchynge the deade, that they ryse a∣gayne: haue ye not red in the booke of Mo∣ses, howe in the busshe God spake vnto him, sayenge, * 1.141 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob? He is no God of deade, but the God of ly∣uynge. Ye are therfore greatly dcceyued.

* 1.142 And when there came one of the Scrybes, and had herde them dysputynge togyther, (and perceyued that he had answered them well) he asked hym: whiche is the fyrst of all the cōmaundementes? Iesus answered him. the fyrst of al the cōmaundementes is: Heare O Israel: * 1.143 The Lorde oure God is Lorde onely? And thou shalt loue the lorde thy god with all thy herte, and with all thy soule, and with all thy mynde, and with al thy strength. This is the fyrst cōmaundement. And the se∣conde is lyke vnto this. * 1.144 Thou shalte loue thy neyghboure as thy selfe. There is none other commaundement greater then these.

And the Scrybe sayde vnto hym: well mayster, thou hast sayde the trueth, for there [unspec D] is one God, and there is none but he. And to loue hym with all the herte, and with all the mynde, and with all the soule, and with al the strength: and to loue a mans neyghboure as hym selfe, is a greater thynge then all burnt offerynges and sacrifices. And when Iesus sawe that he answered discretly, he sayd vnto hym. Thou art not farre from the kyngdom of God. And no man after that, durste aske hym any questyon. And Iesus answered and sayd, teachyng in the temple: How say ye scri∣bes that Christ is the son of Dauid? for Dauid hym selfe enspired with the holy goost, sayd:

* 1.145 The Lorde sayd to my lorde, syt on my ryght hande tyll I make thyne enemyes thy fote s••ole. Dauid hym selfe calleth him lorde: and how is he then his son? And moche peple herde hym gladly. And he sayd vnto them in his doctrine: beware of the Scribes, whiche * 1.146 loue to go in longe clothynge: and loue sa∣lutacyons in the market places, & the cheyfe seates in the congregacyons, and the vpper∣most rowmes at feast{is}: Whiche deuoure wy∣dowes houses, and vnder a pretence, make longe prayers. These shall receyue greater damnacyon.

✚ And when Iesus sat ouer agaynst the treasurye, he behelde, * 1.147 howe the people put money in to the treasurye. And many that were ryche, cast in moche. And there came a certayne poore wydowe, and she threwe in two mytes, whiche make a farthynge. And he called vnto hym his disciples, and sayeth vnto them. Uerely I saye vnto you, that this poore wydowe hath cast more in, then al they whiche haue cast into the treasurye.

And as he sat on mounte Olyuete, ouer a∣gaynst the temple, Peter and Iames, & Iohn̄ and Andrew, asked hym secretly: tell vs, whē shal these thynges be? And what is the sygne when all these thynges shall be fulfylled? And Iesus answered them, and began to say: * 1.149 Take hede lest any man deceyue you. For many shall come in my name, sayenge: I am Chryst, and shall deceyue many. When ye shall heare of warres, and tydynges of war∣res, be ye not troubled. For suche thynges must nedes be? But the ende is not yet. For there shall nacion aryse agaynst nacion, and kyngdome agaynst kyngdome. And there shall be earth quakes in all quarters, and fa∣myshment shall there be, and troubles.

But he spake more vehemently: no, yf I shulde dye with the, I wyll not denye the. Lykewyse also sayde they all.

And these tokens shall folowe them that byleue. * 1.212 In my name they shal cast out de∣uyls, they ‡ 1.213 shall speake with newe tongues, they shal * 1.214 dryue away serpent{is}. And yf they drynke any deadly thynge, it shall not hurte them. They shall laye theyr handes on the sycke▪ and they shall recouer.

So then, when the lorde had spoken vn∣to them, * 1.215 he was receyued in to heuen, and is on the ryght hande of God. And they went forth, and preached euery where: the Lorde workyng with them, * 1.216 and confyrmynge the worde with myracles folowynge.

¶ Here endeth the Gospell of Saynt Marke.
