CHAP. VIII.

Going ouer al Galilee with his traine, 4 he preacheth to the Iewes in parables because of their reprobation: 9 but to his Disciples manifestly: because he wil not for the Iewes incredulity haue his comming fe••strate: 19 signifying also that we art his kinne (though we be Gentils) and not his carnal brethren the Iewes. 22 To whom also (signified by the Gerasens) after the tempest in his sleepe (that is, in his death) and caulme in his resurrection, he commeth: but they preferring their temporals before his presence, he leaueth them againe. 41 Likewise comming to cure the Iewes (who were borne when the Gentils sickened, about Abrahams time) he is preuented with the faith of the Gentils, and then the Iewes die, but them also in the end he wil restore.

[verse 1] AND it came to passe afterward, and he made his iourney by cities and tovvnes prea∣ching and euangelizing the kingdom of God: and the Tvvelue vvith him, ✝ [rightJustify 2] and some vvomen that had been cured of vvic∣ked spirits and infirmities, * Marie vvhich is called Magdalene, out of vvhom seuen deuils vvere gone

forth, ✝ [leftJustify 3] and Ioane the vvife of Chusa Herods procurator, and Susan, andc many others that ″ did minister vnto him of their substance.

✝ [leftJustify 4] And * vvhen a very great multitude assembled, and haste∣ned out of the cities vnto him, he said by a similitude. ✝ [leftJustify 5] The sovver vvent forth to sovv his seede. and vvhiles he sovveth, some fel by the vvay side, and vvas troden vpon, and the foules of the aire did eate it. ✝ [leftJustify 6] And other some fel vpon the rocke: and being shot vp, it vvithered, because it had not moisture. ✝ [leftJustify 7] And othersome fel among thornes, and the thor∣nes grovving vp vvithal, choked it. ✝ [leftJustify 8] And other some fel vpō good ground: and being shot vp, yelded fruite an hundred fold. Saying these things he cried, He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.

✝ [leftJustify 9] And his disciples asked him vvhat this parable vvas. ✝ [leftJustify 10] To vvhom he said, To you it is giuen to knovv the mysterie of the kingdō of God, but to the rest in parables,∷ that * seeing they may not see, and hearing may not vnderstand. ✝ [leftJustify 11] And the parable is this: The seede, is the vvord of God. ✝ [leftJustify 12] And they besides the vvay: are those that heare, then the deuil cōmeth, and taketh the vvord out of their hart, lest beleeuing they be saued. ✝ [leftJustify 13] For they vpon the rocke: such as vvhen they heare, vvith ioy receiue the vvord: and these haue no rootes: be∣cause ∷ for a time they beleeue, and in time of tentation they reuolt. ✝ [leftJustify 14] And that vvhich fel into thornes, are they that haue heard, and going their vvaies, are choked vvith cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and render not fruite. ✝ [leftJustify 15] And that vpon good ground: are they vvhich in a good and very good hart, hearing the vvord, doe reteine it, and yeld fruite in patience. ⊢

✝ [leftJustify 16] And no man lighting a candel doth couer it vvith a vessel, or put it vnder a bed: but setteth it vpō a cādelsticke, that they that enter in, may see the light. ✝ [leftJustify 17] For there is not any thing se∣crete, that shal not be made manifest: nor hid, that shal not be knowen, & come abrode. ✝ [leftJustify 18] See therfore how you heare. For he that hath, to him shal be giuen: and vvhosoeuer hath not, that also vvhich he thinketh he hath, shal be taken avvay frō him.

✝ [leftJustify 19] And * his mother and brethren came vnto him: and they could not come at him for the multitude. ✝ [leftJustify 20] And it vvas told him, Thy mother and ″ thy brethren stand vvithout, desirous to see thee. ✝ [leftJustify 21] who ansvvering said to them, My∷ mother and

my brethren, are they that heare the vvord of God and doe it.

✝ [rightJustify 22] * And it came to passe one day: and he vvent vp into a boate, and his disciples, and he said to them, Let vs strike ouer the lake. And they launched forth. ✝ [rightJustify 23] And vvhen they vvere sailing, he slept: and there fel a storme of vvinde into the lake, and theyc vvere filled, and vvere in danger. ✝ [rightJustify 24] And ∷ they came and raised him, saying, Maister, vve perish. But he rising, rebuked the vvinde and the tempest of vvater: and it ceased, and there vvas made a calme. ✝ [rightJustify 25] And he said to them, Vvhere is your faith? who fearing, marueiled one to an other, saying, Vvho is this (trovv ye) that he commaundeth both the vvindes and the sea, and they obey him? ✝ [rightJustify 26] * And they sailed to the countrie of the Gerasens vvhich is ouer against Galilee.

✝ [rightJustify 27] And vvhen he vvas come forth to the land, there mette him a certaine man that had a deuil novv a very long time, and he did vveare no clothes, neither did he tarie in house, but in the monumēts. ✝ [rightJustify 28] And as he savv IESVS, he fel dovvne before him: and crying out vvith a great voice, he said, Vvhat is to me and thee IESVS sonne of God most high? I be∣seech thee doe not torment me. ✝ [rightJustify 29] For he commaunded the vn∣cleane spirit to goe forth out of the man. For many times he caught him, and he vvas bound vvith chaines, and kept vvith fetters: and breaking the bondes vvas driuen of the de∣uil into the deserts. ✝ [rightJustify 30] And IESVS asked him saying, Vvhat is thy name? But he said, Legion. because many deuils vvere entred into him. ✝ [rightJustify 31] And they besought him that he vvould not commaund them to goe into the depth. ✝ [rightJustify 32] And there vvas there a heard of many svvine feeding on the mountaine: and they desired him, that he vvould permit them to enter into them. And he permitted them. ✝ [rightJustify 33] The deuils therfore vvent forth out of the man, and entred into the svvine: and the heard vvith violence vvent headlong into the lake, and vvas stifled. ✝ [rightJustify 34] which vvhen the svvineheards savv done, they fled: and told into the citie and into the tovvnes. ✝ [rightJustify 35] And they vvent forth to see that vvhich vvas done: and they came to IESVS, and found the man, out of vvhō the deuils vvere gone forth, sitting at his feete, clothed, and vvel in his vvittes, and they vvere afraid. ✝ [rightJustify 36] And they also that had seen, told them hovv he had been made whole from the legion. ✝ [rightJustify 37] And al the multitude of the countrie of the Gerasens besought him to depart from

them: for they vvere taken vvith great feare. And he going vp into the boate, returned. ✝ [leftJustify 38] And the man out of vvhom the deuils vvere departed, desired him that he might be vvith him. But IESVS dimissed him, saying, ✝ [leftJustify 39] Returne into thy house, and tel hovv great things God hath done to thee. And he vvent through the vvhole citie, preaching hovv great things IESVS had done to him.

✝ [leftJustify 40] And it came to passe: vvhen IESVS vvas returned, the multitude receiued him. and al vvere expecting him. ✝ [leftJustify 41] And * behold there came a man vvhose name vvas laîrus, and he vvas Prince of the Synagogue: and he fel at the feete of IESVS, desiring him that he vvould enter into his house, ✝ [leftJustify 42] because he had an only daughter almost tvvelue yeres old, and she vvas a dying. And it chaunced, vvhiles he vvent, he vvas thronged of the multitudes.

✝ [leftJustify 43] And there vvas∷ a certaine vvoman in a fluxe of bloud from tvvelue yeres past, vvhich had bestovved al her substāce vpon Physicions, neither could she be cured of any: ✝ [leftJustify 44] she came behind him, and touched the hemme of his garment: and forthvvith the fluxe of her bloud stinted, ✝ [leftJustify 45] And IESVS said, Vvho is it that touched me? And al denying,∷ Peter said, and they that vvere vvith him, Maister, the multitudes throng and presse thee, and doest thou say, Vvho touched me? ✝ [leftJustify 46] And IESVS said, Some bodie hath touched me. for I knovv that there is vertue proceded from me. ✝ [leftJustify 47] And the vvoman seeing, that she vvas not hid, came trembling, and fel dovvne before his feete: and for vvhat cause she had tou∣ched him, she shevved before al the people: and hovv forth∣vvith she vvas made vvhole. ✝ [leftJustify 48] But he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made the safe, goe thy vvay in peace.

✝ [leftJustify 49] As he vvas yet speaking, there cōmeth one to the Prince of the synagogue, saying to him, That thy daughter is dead, trouble him not. ✝ [leftJustify 50] And IESVS hearing this vvord, ansvve∣red the father of the maide, Feare not:∷ beleeue only, and she shal be safe. ✝ [leftJustify 51] And vvhen he vvas come to the house, he permitted not any man to enter in vvith him, but Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and the father and mother of the maide. ✝ [leftJustify 52] And al vvept, and mourned for her. But he said, Vveepe not, the maide is not dead, but sleepeth. ✝ [leftJustify 53] And they derided him, knovving that she vvas dead. ✝ [leftJustify 54] But he holding her hand cried saying, Maide arise. ✝ [leftJustify 55] And ″ her spirit returned, and she rose

incontinent. And he bade them giue her to eate. ✝ [rightJustify 56] And her parentes vvere astonied, vvhom he commaunded to tel no man that vvhich vvas done.

ANNOTATIONS CHAP. VIII.

••. That did minister.] It vvas the custome of the Ievves that vvomen of their substance did minister meate and drinke and cloth to their teachers, going about vvith them. vvhich because it might haue been scandalous among the gentiles, S. Paul maketh mention that he vsed it not. And they ministred to our Lord of their substance for this cause, that he vvhose spiritual benefites they reaped, might reape their carnal things.

20. Thy brethern.] These brethern of our Lord, vvere not the sonnes of the B. Virgin MARIE the mother of God, as Heluidius vvickedly taught: neither are they to be thought (as some others say) the sonnes of Ioseph by an other vvise: for (as S. Hierom vvriteth) not only our Lady vvas a virgin, but by reason of her, Ioseph also: that our Sauiour might be borne of a virginal matrimonie. But they are called his brethren (according to the visual speach of the Scriptures) because they vvere his cosins, either the sonnes of Iosephs brother, or (as the more receiued opinion is) the sonnes of our Ladies sister called Marie of Iames, which Iames therfore is also called the brother of our Lord.

55. Her spirit returned.) This returning of the soules againe into the bodies of them whom CHRIST and his Apostles raised from death (specially Lazarus who had been dead foure daies) doth euidently proue a third place against our aduersaries, that say, euery one goeth straight to Hea∣uen or to Hel. ••or it can not be thought that they vvere called from the one or the other, and ther∣fore from some third place.
