CHAP. VIII.

2 Christ with his Apostles go from towne to towne and preache. 3 The women minister vnto them of their goods 5 He sheweth the parable of the sede. 21 He telleth who is his mother and his brother. 24 He stilleth the raging of the lake. 27 He deliuereth the possessed. 33 The deuils enter into the heard of swine. 41 He healeth the sicke woman, and Iairus daughter.

1 ANd it came to passe after warde, that he himself went through euerie citie and towne, preaching, and publishing the king∣dome of God, & the twelue (were) with him

2 And certeine women, which were healed of euil spirits, and infirmities, (as)* Marie which* 1.1 was called Magdalene, out of whome went seuen deuils,

3 And Ioanna the wife of Chuza Herodes stewarde, and Susanna, & manie other whicha 1.2 ministred vnto him of their substance.

4 *Now when muche people were gathered together, and were come to him out of all cities, he spake by a parable,

5 A sower went out to sowe his seed, and as he sowed, some fel by the way side, and it was troden vnderfete, and the foules of heauen deuoured it vp.* 1.3

6 And some fel on the stones, and when it was* 1.4 sprong vp, it withered away, because it lac∣ked* 1.5 moistnes.

7 And some fel among thornes, and the thor∣nes sprang vp with it, and choked it.

8 And some fel on good grounde, and sprang vp, and bare frute, an hundreth folde. And as he said these things, he cryed, He that hathe eares tob 1.6 heare, let him heare.

9 Then his disciples asked him, demanding, what parable that was?

10 And he said, Vnto you it is giuen to know the secrets of the kingdome of God, but to other inc 1.7 parables, that when* they se, they* 1.8 shulde not se, and when they heare, they shul∣de* 1.9 not vnderstand.* 1.10

11 *The parable is this, The sede is the worde* 1.11 of God.* 1.12

12 And thei that are beside the way, are thei* 1.13 that heare: after warde commeth the deuil,* 1.14 and taketh away the worde out of their* 1.15 hearts, left they shulde beleue, and be saued?

13 But they that are on the stones, (are they) which vhē they haue 〈◊〉〈◊〉, receiue the word with ioye: but they haue no rootes, whiche for a whiled 1.16 beleue, but in the time of tenta∣tion go away.

14 And that which fel among thornes, are they which haue heard, ande 1.17 after their departure are choked with cares and with riches, and voluptuous liuinge, and bring forthe no frute.

15 But that (which fel) in good ground, are they which with an honest and good heart heare the worde, and kepe it, and bring forth frute with pacience.

16 ¶ Nof 1.18 man when he lighteth a candel, coue∣reth* 1.19 it vnder a vessel, nether putteth it vnder* 1.20 the“ 1.21 table, but setteth it on a candlesticke,* 1.22 that they that entre in, may se the light.

17 * For nothing is secret, that shal not be eui∣dent: nether any thing hid, that shal not be knowen, and come to light.

18 Take hede therefore howye heare: * for* 1.23 whosoeuer hathe, to him shalbe giuen: and* 1.24 whosoeuer hathe not, from him shalbe takē* 1.25 euen that, whichg 1.26 it semeth that he hathe.* 1.27

19 ¶ * Then came to him his mother & his bre∣thren* 1.28 and colde not come nere to him for* 1.29 the preasse.* 1.30

20 And it was tolde him (by certeine) whiche* 1.31 said, Thy mother and thy“ 1.32 brethren stand without, and wolde se thee.

21 But he answered, and said vnto thē, My mo∣ther, and my brethren areh 1.33 these which hea re the worde of God, and do it.

22 ¶* And it came to passe on a certeine day, that he went into a ship with his disciples, and he said vnto them, Let vs go ouer vnto the other side of the lake. And they lanched forthe.

23 And as they sailed, he fel ai 1.34 slepe, and there came downe a storme of winde on the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in ieopardie.* 1.35

24 Then they went to him, and a woke him,* 1.36 saying, Master, master, we perish. And he aro se, and rebuked the winde, and the waues of water: and they ceased, and it was calme.

25 Then he said vnto thē, Where is your faith! and they feared, and wondered among them selues, saying, Who is this that commandeth bothe the windes and water, and they obey him!

26 ¶ *So they sailed vnto the region of the Ga* 1.37 darenes, which is ouer against Galile.* 1.38

27 And as he went out to land, there met him a certeine man out of the citie, whiche had a deuil long time, and he ware no clothes, ne∣ther abode in house, but in the graues.

28 And when he sawe Iesus, he cryed out, and fel down before him, and with a loude voy∣ce said, What haue I to do with thee, Iesus the Sonne of God, the most high? I beseche theek 1.39 torment me not.

29 For he cōmaunded the foule spirit to come out of the mā: [for“ 1.40 oft times he had caught him: therefore he was boūd with chaines, & kept in fetters: but he brake the bandes, and wasl 1.41 caryed of the deuil into wildernesses.]

30 Then Iesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said,m 1.42 Legion, because many deuils were entred into him.

31 And they besoght hym, that he wolde not commande them to go out into then 1.43 diepe.

32 And there was there by, an herd of many swine, feding on an hill, and the (deuils) be∣soght him, that he wolde suffre them to en∣tre into them. So he suffred them.

33 Then went the deuils out of the man, and entred into the swine: and the herd was ca∣ryed with violence from a stepe down place into the lake, and was choked.

34 When the herdmen sawe what was done, thē fled: and when thei were departed, they tolde it in the citie and in the countrey.

35 Then they came out to se what was done, and came to Iesus, and founde the man, out of whome the deuils were departed, sitting at the fete of Iesus, clothed, and in his ryght minde: and they were afraid.

36 They also whiche sawe it, tolde them by what meanes he that was possessed with the deuil, was healed.

37 Then the whole multitude of the countrey about the Gadarenes, besoght him, that he wolde departe from them: for they were ta∣ken with a great feare: and he went into the ship, and returned.

38 Then the man, out of whome the deuils were departed, besoght hym that he might be with him: but Iesus sent him away, saying.

39 o 1.44 Returne into thine owne house, ād shewe what great things God hath done to thee. So he went hys awaye, and preached through out all thep 1.45 citie, what greate thyngs Iesus had done vnto him.

40 ¶ And it came to passe whē Iesus was come againe, that the people receiued him: for they all waited for him.

41 ¶ * And beholde, there came a man named Iairus, and he was the ruler of theq 1.46 Synago∣gue, who fel downe at Iesus fete ād besoght him that he wolde come into his house.

42 For he had but a daughter onelye, aboute* 1.47 twelue yeres of age, and she laye a dying [ad* 1.48 as he went, the people thronged him.

43 And a woman hauyng an yssue of bloode, twelue yeres long, whiche had spent all her substance vpon physicions, and colde not be healed of any:

44 Whē she came behinde (him,) she touched ther 1.49 hemme of his garment, and immediatly her yssue of blood stanched.

45 Then Iesus said, Who is it that hathe tou∣ched me? When euerie man denyed, Peter said ād they that were with him, Master, the multitude thrust thee, and tread on thee, and sayest thou, Who hathe touched me?

46 And Iesus said, Some one hath touched me: for I perceiue that vertue is gone out of me.

47 When the woman sawe that she was not hid, she came trembling, and fel downe be∣fore him, ād tolde him before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, & how she was healed immediatly.

48 And he said vnto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thys 1.50 faith hathe made thee whole: go in peace.]

49 While he yet spake, there came one from the ruler of the Synagogues house, which said to him, Thy daughter is dead: disease not the Master.

50 When Iesus heard it, he answeredt 1.51 him, say∣ing, Feare not: beleue onely, and she shal be made whole.

51 And when he went into the house, he suffred no man to go in with him, saue Peter, and Ia∣mes, and Iohn, and the father and mother of the maide.

52 And all wept, and sorowed for her: but he said, Wepe not: for she is notu 1.52 dead, but slepeth.

53 And they laught hym to skorne, knowyng that she was dead.

54 So hex 1.53 thrust them all out, and toke her by the hand, and cryed, saying, Maid, arise,

55 And her spirit came againe, and she rose straight way: and he commanded to giue her meat.

56 Then her parents were astonied: but he commanded them that they shulde tell no man what was done.
