¶ The .ix. Chapter.

THen called he the .xii. to gether / & ga∣ve [ A] * 1.1 them power / and auctorite over all devyls / and that they myght heale di∣seases. And he sent them to preache the kyng¦dome

of God / & to cure the sick. And he sayd to them: Take nothinge to sucker you by y^• waye: nether staffe / nor scripe / nether breed / nether money / nether have twoo cootes. And whatsoever * 1.2 housse ye enter into / there abyde & thence departe. And whosoever will not re∣ceave you / when ye go out of that cite / shake of the very dust from youre fete / for a testimo∣ny agaynst them. And they went out / & went thorow the tounes / preachinge the gospell* 1.3 and healynge every wheare. ⊢

And Herod the tetrarch herde of all that* 1.4 was done of him / and douted / because that it was sayde of some / that Iohn was rysen agay¦ne from deeth: and of some / that Helyas had apered: and of other / that one of the olde pro∣phetes was rysen agayne. And Herod sayde: Iohn have I behedded: who then is this of whom I heare suche thinges? And he desy∣red to se him.

And the Apostles retourned / and tolde him [ B] * 1.5 what great thinges they had done. And he to∣ke them and went a syde into a solitary place / nye to a citie called Bethsaida. And y^e people* 1.6 knewe of it / and folowed him. And he recea∣ved them / and spake vnto them of the kyngdo¦me of God / and healed them that had nede to be healed. And when y^e daye beganne to wea∣re awaye / then came the twelve and sayde vn∣to him: sende y^• people ••waye / that they maye goo into the tounes & villages roundabout / and lodge / and get meate / for we are here in a place of wyldernes. But he sayde vnto them:

Geve ye thē to eate. And they sayde. We ha¦ve no moo but fyve loves and two fisshes / ex∣cept* 1.7 we shuld goo and bye meate for all this people. And they were about a fyve thousand men. And he sayde to his disciples: Cause them to syt doune by fyfties in a company. And they dyd soo / & made them all syt doune. And he toke the fyve loves / & the two fisshes / & loked vp to heven / & blessed them / & brake / & gave to the disciples / to set before y^• people. And they ate / and were all satisfied. And ther was taken vp of that remayned to thē / twelve baskettes full of broken meate.

And it fortuned as he was alone prayinge / [ C] * 1.8 his disciples were w^t him / & he axed thē say∣inge: Who saye y^e people y^t I am? They ans∣wered & sayd: Iohn Baptist. Some saye He∣lyas. And some saye / one of the olde prophete is rysen agayne. He sayde vnto thē: Who saye ye that I am? Peter answered and sayde: thou arte the Christ of god. And he warned & com¦maunded* 1.9 them / that they shuld tell no mun y^t* 1.10 thinge sayinge: that the sonne of man must suffre many thinges / and be reproved of the elders / and of the hye prestes and scribes / & be* 1.11 slayne / and the thirde daye ryse agayne.

And he sayde to them all / yf eny man will* 1.12 come after me / let him denye him sylfe / & take vp his crosse dayly and folowe me. Whosoe∣ver will save his lyfe / shall lose it. And who¦soever shall lose his lyfe for my sake / the sa∣me shall save it. For what avauntageth it a man / to wynne the whole worlde / yf he loose

him sylfe or runne in domage of him sylfe?* 1.13 For whosoever is ashamed of me / and of my sayinges: of him shall the sonne of man be as∣hamed / when* 1.14 he cometh in his awne glorie / & in the glorie of his father / and of the ho∣ly* 1.15 angels. And I tell you of a surety: There be some of thē y^t stonde here / which shall not tast of deeth / tyll they se y^e kyngdome of god.

And it folowed about an .viii. dayes after [ D] * 1.16 thoose sayinges / that he toke Peter / Iames / & Iohn / & went vp into a moūtayne to praye. And as he prayed / y^• facion of his countenaun¦ce* 1.17 was changed / and his garment was whyte and shoone. And beholde / two men talked w^t him / and they were Moses & Helyas / which appered gloriously / and spake of his departinge / which he shuld ende at Ierusalem. Peter and they that were with him / were hevy with slepe. And when they woke / they sawe his glo¦rie / and two men stondinge with him.

And it chaunsed as they departed frō him / Peter sayde vnto Iesus: Master / it is good beinge here for vs. Let vs make thre taberna∣cles / one for the and one for Moses / & one for Helyas: and wist not what he sayde. Whyll he thus spake / ther came a cloude and shado∣wed them: & they feared when they were co∣me vnder the cloude. And ther came a voyce out of the cloude sayinge: This is my deare* 1.18 sonne / heare him. And assone as y^e voyce was past / Iesus was founde alone. And they kept it cloose / and tolde noo man in thoose dayes eny of those thinges which they had sene.

And it chaunsed on the nexte daye as they* 1.19 came doune from the hyll / moche people met [ E] him. And beholde a man of the cōpany cryed out sayinge: Master / I beseche y^e beholde my* 1.20 sonne / for he is all that I have: & se / a sprete taketh him / & sodenly he cryeth / & he teareth him that he someth agayne / and with moche payne departeth frō him / when he hath rent him / and I besought thy disciples to cast him out / & they coulde not. Iesus answered & say∣de: O generacion with oute fayth / & croked: how longe shall I be with you? & shall suffre you? Bringe thy sonne hidder. As he yet was a cōminge / the fende rēt him & tare him. And Iesus rebuked y^e vnclene sprete / & healed the childe / & delivered him to his father. And they were all amased at y^e mighty power of God.

Whyll they wondred every one at all thin∣ges which he dyd / he sayd vnto his disciples: Let these sayinges synke doune into youre ea∣res. The tyme will come / when the sonne of* 1.21 man shalbe delivered into the hondes of men. But they wist not what y^t worde meant / & yt was hyd frō thē / that they vnderstode yt not. And they feared to axe him of that sayinge.

Then ther arose a disputacion amōge thē: [ F] * 1.22 who shuld be the greatest. When Iesus per∣ceaved y^e thoughtes of their hertes / he toke a chylde / & set him hard by him / & sayd vnto thē: Whosoever receaveth this chylde in my na∣me / receaveth* 1.23 me. And whosoever receaveth me / receaveth him y^t sent me. For he y^t is least amonge you all / the same shalbe greate.

And Iohn answered & sayde: Master we sa∣we* 1.24 one castinge out devyls in thy name / & we forbade him / because he foloweth not with vs. And Iesus sayde vnto him: forbyd ye him not. For he that is not agaynst vs / is w^t vs.

And it folowed when the tyme was come y^t he shulde be receaved vp / then he set his face to goo to Hierusalem / & sent messengers befo¦re him. And they went & entred into a citie of the Samaritans to make redy for him. But they wolde not receave him / because his face was as though he wolde goo to Ierusalem. When his disciples Iames & Iohn sawe y^t / they sayde: Lorde / wilt thou that we cōmaun∣de / that fyre come doune from heven & consu∣me them / even as Helias dyd? Iesus turned* 1.25 about / and rebuked them sayinge: ye wote not what maner sprete yeare of. The sonne of mā¦ys not come to destroye mennes lives / but to save them. And they went to another toune.

✚ And it chaunsed as he went in the wa∣ye / a [ G] * 1.26 certayne man sayd vnto him: I will folo¦we the whither soever thou goo. Iesus sayd vnto him: foxes have holes / and bryddes of y^e* 1.27 ayer have nestes: but the sonne of man hath not where on to laye his heed.

And he sayde vnto another: folowe me. And* 1.28 the same sayde: Lorde suffre me fyrst to goo & bury my father. Iesus sayd vnto him: Let the deed / bury their deed: but goo thou and prea∣che the kyngdome of God.

And another sayde: I wyll folowe the Lor∣de: but let me fyrst goo byd them fare well /

which are at home at my housse. Iesus sayde* 1.29 vnto him: No man that putteth his honde to the plowe / & loketh backe / is apte to the kyng∣dome of God. ⊢
