¶2 The Apostles are sent to preache. 7 Herode hearde of Christe. 12 Fiue thousande fedde with fiue loaues & two fisshes. 19 Diuers opinions of Christ. 20 The confession of the Apostles. 28 The transfiguration of Christe. 35 Christe is to be heard. 42 The lunatike is healed. 43 The infidelitie of the Apostles, 46 they stryue who shoulde be greatest. 49 Of one castyng out deuyls in Christes name. 53 The Samaritanes woulde not receaue Christe. 54 The disciples desire vengeaunce, and are of hym reproued. 57 Of three that woulde folowe Christe, but after diuers sortes of lokyng backe.

[unspec A] 1 IEsus called the * 1.1twelue together, and gaue thē power and aucthoritie ouer al deuils, and that they might heale disea∣ses.

2 And he sent them to preache the kyng∣dome of God, *and to heale the sicke.

3 And he saide vnto thē: Take nothing to (a) 1.2 your iourney, neither staues, nor scrippe, neither bread, neither money,

neither haue two coates.

4 * 1.3And whatsoeuer house ye enter into, there abyde, and thence depart.

5 And whosoeuer wyll not receaue you, when ye go out of that citie, shake of the very dust from your feete, for a testimo∣nie agaynst them.

6 And they departed, and went through the townes, preachyng the Gospell, and healyng euerywhere. ☜

7 * 1.4And Herode the tetrarche heard of all that was done by hym, and doubted, because that it was sayde of some, that Iohn was rysen agayne from death:

8 And of some, that Elias had appeared, and of some, that one of the olde pro∣phetes was rysen agayne.

9 And Herode sayde, Iohn haue I be∣headed, but who is this of whō I heare such thinges? And he desired to see him.

[unspec B] 10 And the apostles returned, & tolde him all that they had done. * 1.5And he toke thē and went aside into a solitarie place, nye vnto the citie that is called Bethsaida.

11 Which whē the people knew, they fo∣lowed him: And he receaued them, and spake vnto thē of the kingdome of God, & healed thē that had nede to be healed.

12 And when the day began to weare a∣way, then came the twelue and sayde vnto hym: Sende the people awaye, that they may go into the townes and vyllages rounde about, and lodge, and get meate: for we are here in a place of wyldernesse.

13 But he said vnto them: Geue ye thē to eate. And they said: We haue no mo but fyue loaues and two fisshes, excepte we should go & bye meate for al this people.

14 And they were about fyue thousande men. And he said to his disciples: Cause thē to sit downe by fifties in a companie.

15 And they dyd so, and made them all to sit downe.

16 And he toke the fyue loaues and the two fisshes, and loked vp to heauen, and blessed them, and brake, and gaue to the disciples to set before the people.

17 And they dyd all eate, and were satis∣fied. And there was taken vp of that re∣mayned to them, twelue baskettes full of broken meate.

[unspec C] 18 * 1.6And it came to passe, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with hym, and he asked them, saying: * 1.7 Who say the people that I am?

19 They aunswered and sayde, Iohn Baptist: some say, Elias: and some say that one of the olde prophetes is rysen.

20 He sayde vnto them: But whom say ye that I am? [Simon] Peter aunswe∣red, & saide: [Thou art] Christe, * 1.8 of God.

21 And he warned & commaunded them, that they should tell no man that thing,

22 Saying: * 1.9The sonne of man must suf∣fer many thynges, and be reproued of the elders, and of the hye priestes and scribes, and be slayne, and ryse agayne the thirde day.

23 And he said to thē all: If any man wyl come after me, let him denie him selfe, & take vp his crosse dayly, & folowe me.

24 * 1.10For whosoeuer wyl saue his lyfe, shal lose it: But whosoeuer shall lose his lyfe for my sake, the same shall saue it.

25 For what auauntageth it a man yf he wynne the whole worlde, and lose hym selfe, or runne in daunger of hym selfe?

26 For * 1.11 Whosoeuer shalbe ashamed of me, and of my wordes, of hym shall the sonne of man be ashamed, whē he com∣meth in his maiestie, and in the maiestie of his father, and of the holy angels.

27 I tell you of a trueth, * 1.12there be some [unspec D] standyng here, whiche shall not taste of death, tyl they see the kingdome of God.

28 * 1.13And it came to passe, about an eyght dayes after these sayinges, he toke Pe∣ter, and Iohn, and Iames, and went vp into a mountayne to pray.

29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenaunce was chaunged, & his gar∣ment was whyte, and shone.

30 And beholde, there talked with hym two men, which were Moyses & Elias:

31 That appeared in the maiestie, & spake of his departyng, which he shoulde end at Hierusalem.

32 But Peter, and they that were with him, were heauie with sleepe: and whē they awoke, they sawe his maiestie, and two men standyng with hym.

33 And it came to passe,* 1.14 as they departed frō him, Peter said vnto Iesus: Maister it is good beyng here for vs, let vs make three tabernacles, one for thee, & one for Moyses, and one for Elias: and wyst not what he sayde.

34 Whyle he thus spake, there came a cloude, and ouershadowed them, & they feared whē they wer come into y^e cloude

35 And there came a voyce out of the cloude, saying: * 1.15this is my deare sonne, * 1.16heare him.

••6 And assoone as the voyce was paste, Iesus was founde alone: and they kept it close, and tolde no man in those dayes any of those thynges which they hadde seene.

[unspec E] 37 * 1.17And it came to passe, that on the next day, as they came downe from the hyll, much people met hym.

38 And beholde, a man of the companie cried out, saying: Maister, I besech thee behold my sonne, for he is all y^t I haue:

39 And see, a spirite taketh hym, and so∣denly he cryeth, and teareth hym, that he fometh agayne, & with much payne departeth from him, when he hath rent hym.

40 * 1.18And I besought thy disciples to cast hym out, and they coulde not.

41 Iesus aunswered, and saide: O faith∣lesse and croked nation, howe long shall I be with you, and shall suffer you? Bryng thy sonne hyther.

42 As he was yet a commyng, the fiende rent hym, and tare hym: And Iesus rebuked the vncleane spirite, and healed the chylde, and deliuered hym to his fa∣ther.

43 * 1.19And they were all amased at the mightie power of God: But whyle they [unspec F] wondred euery one at all thinges which he dyd, he sayde vnto his disciples,

44 Let these sayinges sincke downe into your eares: For it wyll come to passe, that * 1.20the sonne of man shalbe deliuered into the handes of men.

45 * 1.21But they wyst not what that worde meant, and it was hydde from them that they vnderstoode it not: And they feared to aske hym of that saying.

46 Then there arose a disputatiō among them, which of them should be the grea∣test.

47 When Iesus perceaued the thought of their heartes, * 1.22he toke a chylde, and set hym harde by hym,

48 And sayde vnto them: Whosoeuer re∣ceaueth this chylde in my name, recea∣ueth me: * 1.23And whosoeuer receaueth me, receaueth him that sent me. For he that is least among you all, the same shalbe great.

49 And Iohn aunswered, and sayde: Maister, we sawe one castyng out de∣uyls in thy name, and we forbad hym, because he foloweth not with vs.

50 And Iesus sayde vnto hym, * 1.24Forbyd [unspec G] ye ••hym•• not: For he that is not against vs, is with vs.

51 And it came to passe, when the tyme was come that he shoulde be receaued vp, he set his face to go to Hierusalem.

52 And sent messengers before him: And they went, & entred into a towne of the Samaritanes, to make redy for hym.

53 And they woulde not receaue him, be∣cause (b) 1.25 his face was as though he woulde go to Hierusalem.

54 When his disciples, Iames & Iohn, sawe this, they sayde: Lord, wylt thou that we cōmaunde fire to come downe from heauen and consume them, euen as * 1.26 Elias dyd?

55 Iesus turned about, & rebuked them, saying: Ye wote not what maner spirite ye are of.

56 For the sonne of man is not come to destroye mens lyues, but to saue them. And they went to another towne.

57 ☞And it came to passe, that as they went walkyng in the way, a certayne man sayde vnto hym: * 1.27I wyll folowe thee Lorde whyther so euer thou go.

58 And Iesus sayde vnto hym: Foxes haue holes, and byrdes of the ayre haue nestes: but the sonne of man, hath not where to lay his head.

59 And he sayde vnto another, folowe me. And the same sayde: Lorde, suffer me first to go and burie my father.

60 Iesus sayde vnto hym, * 1.28Let the dead burie their dead: but go thou & preache the kyngdome of God.

61 And another sayde: Lorde * 1.29 I wyll folowe thee, but let me first go byd them farewell, (c) 1.30 which are at home at my house.

62 Iesus sayde vnto hym: No man that putteth his hande to the plowe, and loketh backe, is apt to the kyngdome of God.☜
