[ A] * 1.1AFter a feawe dayes / he entred into Ca¦pernaum agayne / & it was noysed that he was in a housse. And anone many gadered to geder / in so moche that now there was no roume to receave them: no / not so mo¦che as about the dore. And he preached the worde vnto them. And there came vnto him that brought one sicke of the palsie / borne of fower men. And because they coulde not co∣me nye vnto him for preace / they vncovered ye
rofe of the housse where he was. And when they had broken it opē / they let doune ye beed where in ye sicke of the palsie laye. When Ie¦sus sawe their fayth / he sayde to the sicke of the palsie / sonne thy sinnes are forgeven the.
[ B] And ther were certayne of ye scrib{is} sittinge there / & reasoninge in their hert{is}: how doeth this felowe so blaspheme? Who can forgeve synnes / but God only? And immediatly whē Iesus perceaved in his sprete / yt they so rea∣soned in thē selves / he sayde vnto them: why thynke ye soche thing{is} in youre hert{is}? Whe¦ther is it easyer to saye to ye sicke of ye palsie / thy synnes are forgeven the: or to saye / aryse take vp thy beed / and walke? That ye maye knowe yt the sonne of man hath power in erth to * 1.2 forgeve synnes / he spake vnto ye sicke of the palsie: I saye vnto ye / aryse & take vp thy beed / & get ye hense in to thyne awne housse. And by and by he arose / toke vp the beed / and went forth before them all: in so moche that they were all amased / and glorified God say∣inge: we never sawe it on this fassion.
[ C] * 1.3And he went agayne vnto the see / and all the people resorted vnto him / & he taught thē. And as Iesus passed by / he sawe Levy ye son∣ne of Alphey syt at the receyte of custome / & sayde vnto him: folowe me. And he arose & fo¦lowed him. And it came to passe / as Iesus sa¦te at meate in his housse / many publicans & synners sate at meate also with Iesus & his disciples. For there were many that folowed him. And when the Scribes & Pharises sa∣we
him eate with publicās and synners* 1.4 / they sayde vnto his disciples: how is it / that he ea∣teth & drynketh with publicās and synners? When Iesus hearde yt / he sayde vnto them. The whole have no nede of the phisiciō / but the sicke. I came not to call the rightwise / but the synners to repentaunce.
* 1.5And the disciples of Iohn & the Pharises dyd faste: & therfore came & sayde vnto him. Why do ye disciples of Iohn & of the Phari∣ses faste / & thy disciples fast not. And Iesus sayde vnto them: can the chyldren of a wed∣dinge faste / while the brydgrome is wt them. As longe as they have the brydgrome with them / they cannot faste. But the dayes will come when the brydgrome shalbe taken from them & then shall they faste in those dayes.
[ D] * 1.6Also no mā soweth a pece of newe cloth vn¦to an olde garmēt / for then taketh he awaye ye newe pece frō the olde / & so is the rent worsse.
In lyke wyse / no man poureth newe wyne in to olde vessels: for yf he do / the newe wyne breaketh the vessels / and the wyne runneth out / and the vessels are marred. But new wy∣ne must be poured in to new vessels.
* 1.7And it chaunsed that he wēt thorow / ye cor¦ne feldes on the Saboth daye: and his disci∣ples as they went on their waye / beganne to plucke the eares of corne. And the Pharises sayde vnto him: beholde / why do they on the Saboth dayes yt which is not laufull? And he sayde to them: have ye never rede what Da¦uid dyd / when he had nede / & was anhōgred /
bothe he & they that were with him? How he went into the housse of God in the dayes of Abiathar ye hye preste / & dyd eate ye halowed lo¦ves / which is not laufull to eate / but for ye pre¦stes only: & gave also to thē which were with him? And he sayde to them: the Saboth daye was made for man / and not man for the Sa∣both daye. Wherfore the sonne of man is Lor¦de evē of the Saboth daye.
