The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

Then came his disciples and sayde vnto him. Perceavest thou not how that the pharises are offended in hearinge thys sayinge?

He answered and sayde: all plantes which my hevely father hath not planted shalbe plucked vp by the rotes.

Let them alone they be the blynde leaders of the blynde. If the blynde leede the blynde boothe shall fall into the dyche.

Then answered Peter and sayd to him: declare vnto vs this parable.

Then sayde Iesus: are ye yet with oute vnderstondinge?

perceave ye not that what soever goeth in at the mouth descendeth doune in to the bely and is cast out into the draught?

But those thingis which procede out of the mouth come from the herte and they defyle the man.

For out of the herte come evyll thoughtis murder breakyng of wedlocke whordo theefte falce witnes berynge blasphemye.

These are the thingis which defyle a man. But to eate with vnwesshen hondes defyleth not a man.

And Iesus went thence and departed in to the costis of Tyre and Sidon.

And beholde a woman which was a Cananite came out of the same coostis and cryed vnto him sayinge: have mercy on me Lorde the sonne of David my doughter is pytiously vexed with a devyll.

And he gave her never a worde to answer. Then came to him his disciples and besought him sayinge: sende her awaye for she foloweth vs cryinge.

He answered and sayde: I am not sent but vnto the loost shepe of the housse of Israel.

Then she came and worshipped him sayinge: master helpe me.

He answered and sayde: it is not good to take the chyldrens breed and to cast it to whelpes.

She answered and sayde: truthe Lorde: neverthelesse the whelpes eate of the cromes which fall from their masters table.

Then Iesus answered and sayde vnto her. O woman greate is thy faith be it to the even as thou desyrest. And her doughter was made whole even at that same houre.

Then Iesus went awaye from thence and came nye vnto the see of Galile and went vp in to a mountayne and sat doune there.

And moche people came vnto him havinge with the halt blynde domme maymed and other many: and cast them doune at Iesus fete. And he healed them

in so moche that the people wondred to se the dome speake the maymed whole the halt to go and the blynde to se. And they glorified the God of Israel.

Then Iesus called his disciples to him and sayde: I have compassion on the people because they have cotynued with me now .iii. dayes and have nought to eate: and I wyll not let them departe fastinge leste they perisshe in the waye.

And his disciples sayd vnto him: whence shuld we get so moche breed in the wildernes as shuld suffise so greate a multitude?

And Iesus sayde vnto them: how many loves have ye? And they sayde: seven and a feawe litle fysshes.

And he commaunded the people to syt doune on the grounde:

and toke the seven loves and the fysshes and gave thankes and brake them and gave to his disciples and the disciples gave them to the people.

And they dyd all eate and were suffised. And they toke vp of the broke meate that was lefte .vii. basketes full.

And yet they that ate were .iiii.M. men besyde wemen and chyldren.

And he sent awaye the people and toke shippe and came into the parties of Magdala.

Then came the pharises and saduces and did tempte him desyringe him to shewe them some signe from heven.

He answered and sayde vnto the. At even ye saye we shall have fayre wedder and that because the skye is reed:

and in the morninge ye saye to daye shalbe foule wedder and that because the skye is cloudy and reed. O ye ypocrites ye can discerne the fassion of the skye: and can ye not discerne the signes of the tymes?

The frowarde nacion and advoutrous seketh a signe and there shall non other signe be geven vnto them but the signe of the prophet Ionas. So lefte he them and departed.

And when his disciples were come to the other side of the water they had forgotten to take breed with them.

Then Iesus sayd vnto them: Take hede and beware of the leve of the Pharises and of the Saduces.

And they thought in them selves sayinge: because we have brought no breed with vs.

When Iesus vnderstode that he sayd vnto the. O ye of lytell faith why are youre mindes cumbred because ye have brought no breed?

Do ye not yet perceave nether remember those .v. loves when there were .v.M. men and how many baskettes toke ye vp?

Nether the .vii. loves when there were .iiiii.M. and how many baskettes toke ye vp?

Why perceave ye not then that I spake not vnto you of breed when I sayde beware of the leven of the Pharises and of the Saduces?

Then vnderstode they how that he bad not them beware of the leven of breed: but of the doctrine of the Pharises and of the Saduces.

When Iesus cam in to the costes of the cite which is called Cesarea Philippi he axed his disciples sayinge: whom do men saye that I the sonne of man am?

They saide some saye that thou arte Ihon Baptist some Helias some Ieremias or one of the prophetes.

He sayde vnto the: but who saye ye that I am?

Simon Peter answered and sayde: Thou arte Christ the sonne of the lyvinge God.

And Iesus answered and sayde to him: happy arte thou Simon the sonne of Ionas for fleshe and bloud hath not opened vnto the that but my father which is in heven.

And I saye also vnto the that thou arte Peter: and apon this rocke I wyll bylde my congregacion. And the gates of hell shall not prevayle ageynst it.

And I wyll geve vnto the the keyes of the kyngdom of heven: and whatsoever thou byndest vpon erth shall be bounde in heven: and whatsoever thou lowsest on erthe shalbe lowsed in heven.

Then he charged his disciples that they shulde tell no man that he was Iesus Christ.

From that tyme forth Iesus began to shewe vnto his disciples how that he must go vnto Ierusalem and suffer many thinges of the Elders and of the hye prestes and of the scribes and must be killed and ryse agayne the thirde daye.

But Peter toke him asyde and began to rebuke him sayinge: master faver thy sylfe this shall not come vnto the.

Then tourned he aboute and sayde vnto Peter: come after me Satan thou offendest me because thou sauourest not godly thinges but wordly thinges.

Iesus then sayde to his disciples. If eny man wyll folowe me leet him forsake him sylfe and take vp his crosse and folowe me.

For who soever wyll save his lyfe shall loose it. And whosoever shall loose his lyfe for my sake shall fynde it.

What shall it proffet a man though he shulde wynne all the whoole worlde: yf he loose his owne soule? Or els what shall a man geve to redeme his soule agayne with all?

For the sonne of man shall come in the glory of his father with his angels: and then shall he rewarde every man accordinge to his dedes.

Verely I saye vnto you some ther be amonge them that here stonde which shall not taste of deeth tyll they shall have sene the sonne of man come in his kyngdomen.

And after. vi. dayes Iesus toke Peter and Iames and Ihon his brother and brought them vp into an hye mountayne out of the waye

and was transfygured before them: and his face did shyne as the sunne and his clothes were as whyte as the light.

And beholde ther appered vnto the Moses and Helyas talkinge with him.

Then answered Peter and sayde to Iesus: master here is good beinge for vs. If thou wylt leet vs make here .iii. tabernacles one for the and one for Moses and one for Helyas.

Whyll he yet spake beholde a bright cloude shadowed them. And beholde there came a voyce out of the cloude sayinge: this is my deare sonne in whom I delite heare him.

And when the disciples hearde that they fell on their faces and were soore afrayed.

And Iesus came and touched them and sayde: aryse and be not afrayed.

And when they looked vp they saw no man saue Iesus onely.

And as they came doune from the mountayne Iesus charged them sayinge: se that ye shewe the vision to no man vntyll the sonne of man be rysen ageyne from deeth.

And his disciples axed of him sayinge: Why then saye the scribes that Helyas muste fyrst come?

Iesus answered and sayd vnto them: Helyas shall fyrst come and restore all thinges.

And I saye vnto you that Helyas is come alredy and they knewe him not: but have done vnto him whatsoever they lusted. In lyke wyse shall also the sonne of man suffre of the.

Then the disciples perceaved that he spake vnto them of Ihon baptist.

And when they were come to the people ther cam to him a certayne man and kneled doune to him and sayde:

Master have mercy on my sonne for he is franticke: and is sore vexed. And oft tymes he falleth into the fyre and oft into the water.

And I brought him to thy disciples and they coulde not heale him.

Iesus answered and sayde: O generacion faythles and croked: how longe shall I be with you? how longe shall I suffre you? bring him hidder to me.

And Iesus rebuked the devyll and he came out of him. And the child was healed even that same houre

Then came the disciples to Iesus secretly and sayde: Why could not we cast him out?

Iesus sayd vnto the: Because of youre vnbelefe For I saye veryly vnto you: yf ye had faythe as a grayne of musterd seed ye shuld saye vnto this moutayne remove hence to yonder place and he shuld remove: nether shuld eny thinge be vnpossible for you to do.

How be it this kynde goeth not oute but by prayer and fastinge.

As they passed the tyme in Galile Iesus sayde vnto them: the sonne of man shalbe betrayed into the hondes of men

and they shall kill him and the thyrd daye he shall ryse agayne. And they sorowed greatly.

And when they were come to Capernaum they that were wont to gadre poll money came to Peter and sayde: Doth youre master paye tribute?

He sayd: ye. And when he was come into the house Iesus spake fyrst to him saying What thinkest thou Simon? of whome do the kynges of the erth take tribute or poll money? of their chyldren or of straungers?

Peter sayde vnto him: of straungers. Then sayd Iesus vnto him agayne: Then are the chyldren fre.

Neverthelesse lest we shuld offende the: goo to the see and cast in thyne angle and take the fysshe that fyrst cometh vp: and when thou hast opened his mouthe thou shalt fynde a pece of twentie pence: that take and paye for me and the.

The same tyme the disciples came vnto Iesus saying: who is the greatest in the kyngdome of heven?

Iesus called a chylde vnto him and set him in the middes of them:

and sayd. Verely I say vnto you: except ye tourne and become as chyldren ye cannot enter into the kyngdom of heven.

Whosoever therfore humble him sylfe as this chylde the same is the greatest in the kyngdome of heven.

And whosoever receaveth suche a chylde in my name receaveth me.

But whosoever offende one of these lytelons which beleve in me: it were better for him that a milstone were hanged aboute his necke and that he were drouned in the depth of the see.

Wo be vnto the world because of offences. How be it it cannot be avoided but that offences shalbe geven. Neverthelesse woo be to the man by who the offence cometh.

Wherfore yf thy honde or thy fote offende the cut him of and cast him from the. It ys better for the to enter into lyfe halt or maymed rather then thou shuldest havinge two hondes or two fete be cast into everlasting fyre.

And yf also thyne eye offende the plucke him oute and caste him from the. It is better for the to enter into lyfe with one eye then havyng two eyes to be cast into hell fyre.

Se that ye despise not one of these litelons. For I saye vnto you that in heven their angels alwayes behold the face of my father which is in heven.

Ye and the sonne of man is come to saue that which is lost.

How thinke ye? Yf a man have an hondred shepe and one of them be gone astray dothe he not leve nynty and nyne in the moutains and go and seke that one which is gone astray?

If it happen that he fynd him veryly I say vnto you: he reioyseth more of that shepe then of the nynty and nyne which went not astray.

Even so it is not the wyll of youre father in heven that one of these lytelons shulde perishe.

Moreover yf thy brother treaspace agenst the. Go and tell him his faute betwene him and the alone. Yf he heare the thou hast wone thy brother:

But yf he heare the not then take yet with the one or two that in the mouth of two or thre witnesses all thinges maye be stablisshed.

If he heare not them tell it vnto the congregacion. If he heare not the congregacion take him as an hethen man and as a publican.
