THer were present at the same season / that shewed him of ye Galileās / who∣se* 1.1 bloude Pylate mengled with their awne sacrifice. And Iesus answered / & sayde vnto them: Suppose ye that these Galileans were greater synners then all the other Gali∣leans /
because they suffred suche punisshmēt? I tell you naye: but except ye repent / ye shall all in lyke wyse perysshe. Or those .xviii. apon* 1.2 which y• toure in Syloe fell / & slewe thē / thin¦ke ye that they were synners above all men yt dwell in Ierusalem? I tell you naye: But ex∣cepte ye repent / ye all shall lyke wyse perisshe.
✚ He put forthe this similiiude / A certayne [ B] man had a fygge tree planted in his veneyar¦de / & he came & sought frute theron / & founde* 1.3 none. Then sayde he to y• dresser of his vyney arde: Beholde / this thre yeare have I come & sought frute in this fygge tree / & fynde none: cut it doune: why combreth it the grounde? And he answered & sayde vnto him: lorde let it alone this yeare also / till I digge rounde a∣boute it / & dōge it to se whether it will beare frute: & if it beare not then / after yt / cut it doune
And he taught in one of their sinagoge on [ C] y• saboth dayes. And beholde ther was a wo∣mā* 1.4 which had a sprete of infirmite .xviii. ye∣ares: and was bowed to gether / & coulde not lifte vp her silfe at all. When Iesus sawe her he called her to him / and sayde to her: woman / thou arte delyvered from thy disease. And he layde his hondes on her / and immediatly she was made strayght / and glorified God. And the ruler of the sinagoge answered with in∣dignacion (be cause that Iesus had healed on the saboth daye) and sayde vnto the peo∣ple.* 1.5 Ther are sixe dayes in which men ought to worke: in them come and be healed / & not on the saboth daye.
Then answered him the Lorde and sayde Ypocrite / doth not eache one of you on the sa¦both daye / lowse his oxe or his asse from the stall / & leade him to the water? And ought not this doughter of Abraham / whom Sathan hath bounde loo .xviii. yeares / be lowsed from this bonde on the saboth daye? And when he thus sayde / all his adversa••ies were ashamed / and all the people reioysed on all the excel∣lent dedes / that were done by him. ⊢
Then sayde he: What is the kyngdome of [ D] God lyke? or wherto shall I compare it? It is lyke a grayne of mustard seede / which a man* 1.6 toke and sowed in his garden: and it grewe and wexed a greate tree / and the foules of the ayer made nestes in the braunches of it.
And agayne he sayde: wher vnto shall I ly¦ken y• kyngdome of god? it is lyke levē / which* 1.7 a woman toke / and hidde in thre busshels of* 1.8 floure / tyll all was thorow levended. And he went thorow all maner of cities & tounes tea¦chinge / and iorneyinge towardes Ierusalem.
Then sayde one vnto him: Lorde / are ther* 1.9 feawe that shalbe saved? And he sayde vnto [ E] them: stryve with youre selves to enter in at ye strayte gate: For many I saye vnto you / will* 1.10 seke to enter in / & shall not be able. * 1.11 When the good man of ye housse is rysen vp / & hath shett to the dore / ye shall beginne to stonde with out / and to knocke at the dore sayinge: Lorde / lorde / open vnto vs: & he shall answer and saye vnto you: I knowe you not whence ye are. Then shall ye Begin to saye. We have
eaten / in thy presence and dronke / and thou hast taught in oure stretes. And he shall saye: I tell you / I knowe you not whence ye are: departe from me all ye workers of iniquite. There shalbe wepinge & gnasshinge of teth [ F] when ye shall se Abraham & Isaac & Iacob / & all the prophetes in the kyngdom of God / & youre selves thrust oute at dores. And they shall come from the eest and from the weest / and from the northe and from the southe / and shall syt doune in the kyngdome of God. And beholde / ther are last / which shalbe fyrst: And ther are fyrst which shalbe last.
The same daye there came certayne of the* 1.12 pharises & sayd vnto him: Get the out of the waye / & departe hence: for Herode will kyll ye. [ G] And he sayd vnto them. Goo ye and tell that* 1.13 foxe / beholde I cast oute devyls & heale the people to daye & to morowe / & the third daye I make an ende. Neverthelesse / I must wal∣ke to daye and to morowe / & the daye folowin∣ge:* 1.14 For it can not be / that a Prophet perishe eny other where / save at Ierusalem.
O Ierusalem / Ierusalem / which kyllest prophete / and stonest them that are sent to ye:* 1.15 how often wolde I have gadered thy childrē to gedder / as the hen gathereth her nest vn∣der her wynges / but ye wolde not. Beholde youre habitacion shalbe left vnto you desola¦te.* 1.16 For I tell you / ye shall not se me vntill the tyme come that ye shall saye / blessed is he that commeth in the name of the Lorde.
