Matthew 21

1 When they drewe neye vnto Ierusalem and were come to Betphage vnto mounte olivete: then sent Iesus two of his disciples
2 saiynge to the. Go in to the toune that lyeth over agaynste you and anone ye shall fynde an asse bounde and her colte with her: lose them and bringe them vnto me.
3 And if eny man saye ought vnto you saye ye yt the lorde hath neade of them: and streyght waye he will let them go.
4 All this was done to fulfyll that which was spoken by the Prophet sayinge:
5 Tell ye the doughter of Sion: beholde thy kynge cometh vnto the meke and sittinge vpon an asse and a colte the fole of an asse vsed to the yooke.
6 The disciples went and dyd as Iesus comaunded them
7 and brought ye asse and the colte and put on them their clothes and set him theron.
8 And many of the people spreed their garmentes in ye waye. Other cut doune braunches fro the trees and strawed them in the waye.
9 Moreover the people that went before and they also that came after cryed sayinge: Hosanna to ye sonne of David. Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lorde Hosanna in the hyest.
10 And when he was come in to Ierusalem all the cyte was moved sayinge: who is this?
11 And the people sayde: this is Iesus the Prophet of Nazareth a cyte of Galile.
12 And Iesus went in to the temple of God and cast out all them that soulde and bought in the temple and overthrew the tables of the mony chaugers and the seates of them that solde doves
13 and sayde to them: It is wrytten my housse shalbe called the housse of prayer. But ye have made it a denne of theves.
14 And the blinde and the halt came to him in ye teple and he healed the.
15 When the chefe prestes and scribes sawe the marveylles that he dyd and the chyldren cryinge in the teple and sayinge Hosanna to the sonne of David they disdayned
16 and sayde vnto him: hearest thou what these saye? Iesus sayde vnto them yee: have ye never redde of the mouth of babes and suckelinges thou haste ordeyned prayse?
17 And he lefte the and wet out of ye cite vnto Bethanie and had his abydige there.
18 In the mornynge as he returned in to the cyte ageyne he hungred
19 and spyed a fygge trre in the waye and came to it and founde nothinge theron but leves only and sayd to it never frute growe on the hence forwardes. And ano the fygge tree wyddered awaye.
20 And when his disciples sawe that they marveled sayinge: Howe sone is the fygge tree wyddered awaye?
21 Iesus answered and sayde vnto the: Verely I saye vnto you yf ye shall have faith and shall not dout ye shall not only do that which I have done to the fygge tree: but also yf ye shall saye vnto this moutayne take thy silfe awaye and cast thy silfe into the see it shalbe done.
22 And whatsoever ye shall axe in prayer (if ye beleve) ye shall receave it.
23 And when he was come into the teple the chefe prestes and the elders of the people came vnto him as he was teachinge and sayde: by what auctorite doest thou these thinges? and who gave the this power?
24 Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: I also will axe of you a certayne question which if ye assoyle me I in lyke wyse wyll tell you by what auctorite I do these thinges.
25 The baptime of Iohn: whence was it? fro heve or of men? Then they reasoned amoge them selves sayinge: yf we shall saye fro heven he will saye vnto vs: why dyd ye not then beleve hym?
26 But and if we shall saye of men then feare we the people. For all men helde Iohn as a Prophet.
27 And they answered Iesus and sayde: we cannot tell. And he lyke wyse sayd vnto them: nether tell I you by what auctorite I do these thinges.
28 What saye ye to this? A certayne man had two sonnes and came to ye elder and sayde: sonne go and worke to daye in my vineyarde.
29 He answered and sayde I will not: but afterwarde repented and went.
30 Then came he to the second and sayde lyke wyse. And he answered and sayde: I will syr: yet wet not.
31 Whether of the twayne dyd the will of the father? And they sayde vnto hym: the fyrst. Iesus sayde vnto the: verely I saye vnto you that the publicans and the harlotes shall come into ye kyngdome of God before you.
32 For Iohn came vnto you in the waye of rightewesnes and ye beleved hym not. But the publicans and the harlotes beleved him. And yet ye (though ye sawe it) were not yet moved with repentaunce that ye myght afterwarde have beleved hym.
33 Herken another similitude. Ther was a certayne housholder which planted a vineyarde and hedged it roude about and made a wynpresse in it and bilt a tower and let it out to husbandmen and wet in to a straunge coutre.
34 And when the tyme of the frute drewe neare he sent his servauntes to the husbandmen to receave the frutes of it.
35 And ye husbandme caught his servauntes and bet one kylled another and stoned another.
36 Agayne he sent other servantes moo then the fyrst: and they served them lyke wyse.
37 But last of all he sent vnto the his awne sonne sayinge: they will feare my sonne.
38 But when the husbandmen sawe the sonne they sayde amoge the selves: This is the heyre: come let vs kyll him and let vs take his inheritaunce to oure selves.
39 And they caught him and thrust him out of the vineyarde and slewe him.
40 When the lorde of the vyneyarde commeth what will he do wt those husbandme?
41 They sayde vnto him: he will cruellye destroye those evyll persons and wyll let out his vyneyarde vnto other husbandmen which shall delyver him the frute at tymes convenient
42 Iesus sayde vnto the: dyd ye never redde in the scriptures? The stone which ye bylders refused ye same is set in ye principall parte of ye corner: this was the lordes doinge and yt is mervelous in oure eyes.
43 Therfore saye I vnto you the kyngdome of God shalbe take from you and shalbe geve to the getyls which shall brynge forth the frutes of it.
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone he shalbe broken but on whosoever it shall fall vpon it will grynde him to powder.
45 And when the chefe prestes and Pharises hearde these similitudes they perceaved yt he spake of the.
46 And they wet about to laye hondes on him but they feared ye people because they tooke him as a Prophet.

Matthew 22

1 And Iesus answered and spake vnto them agayne in similitudes sayinge.
2 The kingdome of heve is lyke vnto a certayne kynge which maryed his sonne
3 and sent forth his servantes to call them that were byd to the weddinge and they wolde not come.
4 Ageyne he sent forth other servauntes sayinge: Tell them which are bydden: beholde I have prepared my dynner myne oxen and my fatlinges are kylled and all thinges are redy come vnto the mariage.
5 But they made light of it and went their wayes: one to his ferme place another about his marchaundise
6 the remnaunt toke his seruantes and intreated them vngodly and slewe them.
7 When the kinge hearde that he was wroth and send forth his warryers and distroyed those murtherers and brent vp their cyte.
8 Then sayde he to his servauutes: the weddinge was prepared. But they which were bydden were not worthy.
9 Go ye therfore out into ye hyewayes and as many as ye finde byd them to the mariage.
10 The seruauntes wet out into the hiewayes and gaddered to gedder as many as they coulde fynde both good and bad and ye weddinge was furnysshed with gestes.
11 Then the kynge came in to viset the gestes and spyed there a ma which had not on a weddinge garment
12 and sayde vnto him: frende how fortuned it that thou camest in hither and hast not on a weddyng garment? And he was eve spechlesse.
13 Then sayde the kynge to his ministers: take and bynde hym hand and fote and caste hym into vtter darcknes there shalbe wepinge and gnasshinge of teth.
14 For many are called and feawe be chosen.
15 Then wet the Pharises and toke counsell how they might tagle him in his wordes.
16 And they sent vnto him their disciples with Herodes servauntes sayinge: Master we knowe yt thou are true and teachest the waye of god trulie nether carest for eny man for thou consydrest not menes estate.
17 Tell vs therfore: how thynkest thou? Is it lawfull to geve tribute vnto Cesar or not?
18 Iesus perceaved their wikednes and sayde: Why tempte ye me ye ypocrites?
19 Let me se ye tribute money. And they toke hym a peny.
20 And he sayde vnto them: whose is this ymage and superscripcion?
21 They sayde vnto him: Cesars. Then sayde he vnto them. Geve therfore to Cesar that which is Cesars: and geve vnto god that which is goddes.
22 When they hearde that they marveled and lefte hym and went there waye.
23 The same daye the Saduces came to him (which saye that there is no resurrcecion) and axed him
24 sayinge: Master Moses bade yf a man dye havinge no chyldre that the brother mary his wyfe and reyse vp seed vnto his brother.
25 Ther were wt vs seven brethre and the fyrste maried and deceased wt oute yssue and lefte his wyfe vnto his brother.
26 Lykewise the seconde and ye thryd vnto the sevethe.
27 Laste of all the woman dyed also.
28 Now in the resurreccion whose wyfe shall she be of the seven? For all had her.
29 Iesus answered and sayde vnto the: ye are deceaved and vnderstonde not the scriptures nor yet the power of God.
30 For in the resurreccion they nether mary nor are maryed: but are as the angels of God in heven.
31 As touchynge the resurreccion of the deed: have ye not redde what is sayde vnto you of God which sayeth:
32 I am Abrahams God and Ysaacks God and the God of Iacob? God is not the God of the deed: but of the lyvinge.
33 And when the people hearde that they were astonyed at his doctrine.
34 When the Pharises had hearde how yt he had put the Saduces to silence they drewe to gedder
35 and one of them which was a doctoure of lawe axed a question teptinge h m and sayinge:
36 Master which is ye chefe comaundment in the lawe?
37 Iesus sayde vnto him: love the Lorde thy God wt all thine herte with all thy soule and with all thy mynde.
38 This is the fyrst and the chefe comaundement.
39 And ther is another lyke vnto this. Love thyne neghbour as thy selfe.
40 In these two commaundemetes hange all the lawe and the Prophetes.
41 Whyll the Pharises were gaddered togeder Iesus axed
42 the sayinge: what thinke ye of Christ? Whose sonne is he? They sayde vnto him: the sonne of David.
43 He sayde vnto the: how then doeth David in spirite call him Lorde sayinge?
44 The Lorde sayde to my Lorde syt on my right honde: tyll I make thyne enemyes thy fote stole.
45 Yf David call him Lorde: how is he then his sonne?
46 And none coulde answere him ageyne one worde: nether dueste eny from that daye forth axe him eny moo questions.

Matthew 23

1 Then spake Iesus to the people and to his disciples
2 sayinge. The Scribes and the Pharises sit in Moses seate.
3 All therfore whatsoever they byd you observe that observe and do: but after their workes do not:
4 For they saye and do not. Ye and they bynde hevy burthes and grevous to be borne and ley the on menes shulders: but they themsylfes will not heave at them with one of their fyngers
5 All their workes they do for to be sene of me. They set abroade their philateries and make large borders on there garmetes
6 and love to sit vppermooste at feastes and to have the chefe seates in the synagoges
7 and gretinges in the marketes and to be called of men Rabi.
8 But ye shall not suffre youre selves to be called Rabi. For one is youre master that is to wyt Christ and all ye are brethre.
9 And call no man youre father vpon the erth for there is but one youre father and he is in heven.
10 Be not called masters for there is but one youre master and he is Christ.
11 He that is greatest amoge you shalbe youre seruaunte.
12 But whosoever exalteth himsilfe shalbe brought lowe. And he yt hubleth himsilfe shalbe exalted.
13 Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites for ye shutte vp the kyngdome of heve before men: ye youre selves goo not in nether suffre ye them that come to enter in.
14 Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites: ye devoure widdowes houses and that vnder a coloure of praying longe prayers: wherfore ye shall receave greater damnacion
15 Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites which compasse see and londe to bringe one in to youre belefe: and when he ys brought ye make him two folde more the chylde of hell then ye youre selves are.
16 Wo be vnto you blynd gides which saye whosoever sweare by the teple it is no thinge: but whosoever sweare by the golde of the temple he offendeth.
17 Ye foles and blinde? whether is greater the golde or the teple that sanctifieth ye golde.
18 And whosoever sweareth by the aulter it is nothinge: but whosoever sweareth by ye offeringe yt lyeth on ye aultre offendeth.
19 Ye foles and blinde: whether is greater ye offeringe or ye aultre which sanctifieth ye offeringe
20 Whosoever therfore sweareth by ye aultre sweareth by it and by all yt there on is.
21 And whosoever sweareth by the teple sweareth by it and by hym yt dwelleth therin
22 And he that sweareth by heve swereth by the seate of God and by hym that sytteth theron.
23 Wo be to you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites which tythe mynt annyse and comen and leave the waygthtyer mattres of ye lawe vndone: iudgemet mercy and fayth. These ought ye to have done and not to have left the othre vndone.
24 Ye blinde gydes which strayne out a gnat and swalowe a cammyll.
25 Wo be to you scribes and pharises ypocrites which make clene ye vtter syde of the cuppe and of the platter: but within they are full of brybery and excesse.
26 Thou blinde Pharise clense fyrst the outsyde of the cup and platter that the ynneside of them maye be clene also.
27 Wo be to you Scribe and Pharises ypocrite for ye are lyke vnto paynted tombes which appere beautyfull outwarde: but are wt in full of deed bones and of all fylthynes.
28 So are ye for outwarde ye appere righteous vnto me when within ye are full of ypocrisie and iniquite.
29 Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites: ye bylde the tombes of the Prophetes and garnisshe the sepulchres of the righteous
30 and saye: Yf we had bene in the dayes of oure fathers we wolde not have bene parteners with them in the bloud of the Prophetes.
31 So then ye be witnesses vnto youre selfes that ye are the chyldren of them which killed the prophetes.
32 Fulfill ye lyke wyse the measure of youre fathers.
33 Yee serpentes and generacion of vipers how shuld ye scape ye dapnacio of hell?
34 Wherfore beholde I sende vnto you prophetes wyse men and scribes and of the ye shall kyll and crucifie: and of the ye shall scourge in youre synagoges and persecute from cyte to cyte
35 that vpon you maye come all the righteous bloude that was sheed vpon the erth fro the bloud of righteous Abell vnto ye bloud of zacharias the sonne of Barachias who ye slewe betwene the teple and ye altre.
36 Verely I say vnto you all these thinges shall light vpon this generacion
37 Hierusalem hierusalem which kyllest prophetes and stonest the which are sent to the: how often wolde I have gadered thy chyldren to gether as the henne gadreth her chickes vnder her winges but ye wolde not:
38 Beholde youre habitacio shalbe lefte vnto you desolate
39 For I saye to you ye shall not se me heceforthe tyll that ye saye: blessed is he that cometh in the name of ye Lorde.

Matthew 24

1 And Iesus went out and departed fro the teple: and his disciples came to hym for to shewe him the byldinge of the teple.
2 Iesus sayde vnto the: se ye not all these thinges? Verely I saye vnto you: ther shall not be here lefte one stone vpon another that shall not be cast doune.
3 And as he sat vpon the mout Olivete his disciples came vnto hym secretely sayinge. Tell vs when these thinges shalbe? And what signe shalbe of thy comynge and of the ende of the worlde?
4 And Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: take hede that no ma deceave you.
5 For many shall come in my name sayinge: I am Christ and shall deceave many.
6 Ye shall heare of warres and of the fame of warres: but se yt ye be not troubled. For all these thinges must come to passe but the ende is not yet.
7 For nacio shall ryse ageynste nacio and realme ageynste realme: and ther shalbe pestilence honger and erthquakes in all quarters.
8 All these are the beginninge of sorowes.
9 Then shall they put you to trouble and shall kyll you: and ye shalbe hated of all nacions for my names sake.
10 And then shall many be offended and shall betraye one another and shall hate one the other.
11 And many falce Prophetes shall aryse and shall deceave many.
12 And because iniquite shall have the vpper hande the love of many shall abate.
13 But he that endureth to the ende the same shalbe safe.
14 And this gladtidingees of the kyngdome shalbe preached in all the worlde for a witnes vnto all nacions: and then shall the ende come.
15 When ye therfore shall se ye abhominacio that betokeneth desolacion spoken of by Daniell the Prophet stonde in ye holy place: let him that redeth it vnderstonde it.
16 Then let them which be in Iury flye into the moutaynes.
17 And let him which is on ye housse toppe not come downe to fet eny thinge out of his housse.
18 Nether let him which is in ye felde returne backe to fetche his clothes.
19 Wo be in those dayes to the that are wt chylde and to the yt geve sucke.
20 But praye yt youre flight be not in ye winter nether on ye saboth daye.
21 For then shalbe greate tribulacio suche as was not fro the beginninge of the worlde to this tyme ner shalbe.
22 Ye and except those dayes shuld be shortened there shuld no fleshe be saved: but for ye chosens sake those dayes shalbe shortened.
23 Then yf eny ma shall saye vnto you: lo here is Christ or there is Christ: beleve it not.
24 For there shall arise false christes and false prophete and shall do great myracles and wondres. In so moche yt if it were possible ye verie electe shuld be deceaved.
25 Take hede I have tolde you before.
26 Wherfore if they shall saye vnto you: beholde he is in ye desert go not forth: beholde he is in ye secret places beleve not.
27 For as ye lightninge cometh out of ye eest and shyneth vnto the weest: so shall the comynge of the sonne of ma be.
28 For wheresoever a deed karkas is eve thyther will the egles resorte.
29 Immediatly after the tribulacios of those dayes shall the sunne be derkened: and ye mone shall not geve hir light and the starre shall fall from heve and the powers of heve shall move.
30 And then shall appere the sygne of the sonne of man in heven. And then shall all the kynreddes of the erth morne and they shall se the sonne of man come in the cloudes of heven with power and greate glorie.
31 And he shall sende his angeles with the greate voyce of a trope and they shall gader to gether his chosen from the fower wyndes and from the one ende of the worlde to the other.
32 Learne, a similitude of the fygge tree: when his braunches are yet tender and his leves sproge ye knowe that sommer is nye.
33 So lyke wyse ye when ye see all these thynges be ye sure that it is neare even at the dores.
34 Verely I saye vnto you that this generacion shall not passe tyll all these be fulfilled.
35 Heven and erth shall perisshe: but my wordes shall abyde.
36 But of that daye and houre knowith no man no not ye angels of heve but my father only.
37 As the tyme of Noe was so lyke wyse shall the cominge of ye sonne of man be.
38 For as in ye dayes before ye floud: they dyd eate and drynke mary and were maried eve vnto ye daye that Noe entred into the shyppe
39 and knewe of nothynge tyll the floude came and toke them all awaye. So shall also the commynge of the sonne of man be.
40 Then two shalbe in the feldes the one shalbe receaved and the other shalbe refused
41 two shalbe gryndinge at ye myll: ye oue shalbe receaved and ye other shalbe refused.
42 Wake therfore because ye knowe not what houre youre master wyll come.
43 Of this be sure that yf the good man of the housse knewe what houre the thefe wolde come: he wolde suerly watche and not suffre his housse to be broke vppe.
44 Therfore be ye also redy for in ye houre ye thinke he wolde not: wyll the sonne of ma come.
45 If there be any faithfull servaut and wyse whome his master hath made ruler over his housholde to geve the meate in season covenient:
46 happy is that servaunt whom his master (when he cometh) shall finde so doinge.
47 Verely I saye vnto you he shall make him ruler over all his goodes.
48 But and yf that evill servaut shall saye in his herte my master wyll defer his comynge
49 and beginne to smyte his felowes ye and to eate and to drinke with the dronke:
50 that servauntes master wyll come in adaye when he loketh not for him and in an houre yt he is not ware of
51 and wyll devyde him and geve him his rewarde with ypocrites. There shalbe wepinge and gnasshinge of tethe.

Matthew 25

1 Then ye kyngdome of heven shalbe lykened vnto .x. virgins which toke their lampes and wet to mete the brydgrome:
2 fyve of them were folysshe and fyve were wyse.
3 The folysshe toke their lampes but toke none oyle wt the.
4 But ye wyse tooke oyle wt the in their vesselles wt their lampes also.
5 Whill the brydgrome taryed all slombred and slepte.
6 And even at mydnyght there was a crye made: beholde the brydgrome cometh goo out against him.
7 Then all those virgins arose and prepared their lampes.
8 And ye folysshe sayde to ye wyse: geve vs of youre oyle for our lampes goo out?
9 but ye wyse answered sayinge. Not so lest ther be not ynough for vs and you: but goo rather to them yt sell and by for youre selves.
10 And whill they went to bye ye brydgrome came: and they yt were redy went in with him to ye weddinge and the gate was shett vp:
11 Afterwardes came also ye other virgins sayinge: master master open to vs.
12 But he answered and sayde: verely I saye vnto you: I knowe not you.
13 Watche therefore: for ye knowe nether the daye nor yet the houre when the sonne of man shall come.
14 Lykwyse as a certeyne ma redy to take his iorney to a straunge coutre called his servautes and delivered to them his gooddes.
15 And vnto one he gave .v. talentes to another .ii. and to another one: to every man after his abilite and streyght waye departed.
16 Then he that had receaved the fyve talentes went and bestowed them and wanne other fyve talentes.
17 Lykwyse he that receaved .ii. gayned other .ii.
18 But he yt receaved ye one went and digged a pit in the erth and hyd his masters money.
19 After a longe season ye lorde of those servauntes came and rekened with the.
20 Then came he yt had receaved fyve talentes and brought other fyve talentes sayinge: master thou deliveredst vnto one fyve talentes: beholde I have gayned wt the fyve talentes moo.
21 The his master sayde vnto him: well good servaut and faithfull. Thou hast bene faithfull in lytell I will make the ruler over moche: entre in into thy masters ioye.
22 Also he that receaved .ii. talentes came and sayde: master thou deliveredest vnto me .ii. talentes: beholde I have wone .ii. other talentes with them.
23 And his master sayde vnto him well good servaunt and faithfull. Thou hast bene faithfull in lytell I wyll make the ruler over moche: go in into thy masters ioye.
24 Then he which had receaved ye one talent came and sayd: master I considered yt thou wast an harde man which repest where thou sowedst not and gadderest where thou strawedst not
25 and was therfore afrayde and went and hyd thy talent in ye erth: Beholde thou hast thyn awne.
26 His master answered and sayde vnto him: thou evyll servaut and slewthfull thou knewest yt I repe where I sowed not and gaddre where I strawed not:
27 thou oughtest therfore to have had my money to ye chaugers and then at my comynge shulde I have receaved myne awne with vauntage.
28 Take therfore the talent from him and geve it vnto him which hath .x. talentes.
29 For vnto every man that hath shalbe geven and he shall have aboundance: and from him that hath not shalbe taken awaye even that he hath.
30 And cast yt vnprofitable servaunt into vtter dercknes: there shalbe wepynge and gnasshinge of teeth.
31 When the sonne of ma cometh in his glorie and all the holy angels wt him then shall he syt vpon the seate of his glorie
32 and before him shalbe Gaddred all nacions. And he shall seperate the one from a nother as a shepherde deuideth the shepe from the gootes.
33 And he shall set the shepe on his right honde and the gotes on the lyfte.
34 Then shall the kynge saye to them on his right honde: Come ye blessed chyldren of my father inheret ye the kyngdo prepared for you from the beginninge of the worlde.
35 For I was anhongred and ye gave me meate. I thursted and ye gave me drinke. I was herbourlesse and ye lodged me.
36 I was naked and ye clothed me. I was sicke and ye visited me. I was in preson and ye came vnto me.
37 Then shall ye righteous answere him sayinge master whe sawe we ye anhongred and feed the? or a thurst and gave ye drinke?
38 when sawe we ye herbourlesse and lodged the? or naked and clothed the?
39 or when sawe we the sicke or in preson and came vnto the?
40 And ye kynge shall answere and saye vnto them: verely I saye vnto you: in as moche as ye have done it vnto one of ye leest of these my brethren ye have done it to me.
41 Then shall the kynge saye vnto them that shalbe on the lyfte hande: departe from me ye coursed into everlastinge fire which is prepared for the devyll and his angels.
42 For I was an hungred and ye gave me no meate. I thursted and ye gave me no drinke.
43 I was herbourlesse and ye lodged me not. I was naked and ye clothed me not. I was sicke and in preson and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answere him sayinge: master when sawe we the an hungred or a thurst or herbourlesse or naked or sicke or in preson and did not ministre vnto the?
45 Then shall he answere the and saye: Verely I saye vnto you in as moche as ye did it not to one of ye leest of these ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go into everlastinge payne: And the righteous into lyfe eternall.

Matthew 26

1 And it came to passe when Iesus had fynisshed all these sayinges he sayd vnto his disciples:
2 Ye knowe that after ii. dayes shalbe ester and the sonne of man shalbe delyvered to be crucified.
3 Then assembled togedder the chefe prestes and the scribes and the elders of the people to the palice of the hye preste called Cayphas
4 and heelde a counsell how they mygt take Iesus by suttelte and kyll him.
5 But they sayd not on the holy daye lest eny vproure aryse amonge the people.
6 When Iesus was in Bethany in the house of Symon the leper
7 ther came vnto him a woman which had an alablaster boxe of precious oyntment and powred it on his heed as he sate at the bourde.
8 When his disciples sawe that they had indignacion sayinge: what neded this wast?
9 This oyntmet myght have bene well solde and geven to the povre.
10 When Iesus vnderstod that he sayde vnto the: why trouble ye the woman? She hath wrought a good worke apon me.
11 For ye shall have povre folcke alwayes with you: but me shall ye not have all wayes.
12 And in yt she casted this oyntment on my bodye she dyd it to burye me wt all.
13 Verely I saye vnto you wheresoever this gospell shalbe preached throughoute all the worlde there shall also this that she hath done be tolde for a memoriall of her.
14 Then one of the twelve called Iudas Iscarioth went vnto the chefe prestes
15 and sayd: what will ye geve me and I will deliver him vnto you? And they apoynted vnto him thirty peces of sylver.
16 And from that tyme he sought oportunite to betraye him.
17 The fyrst daye of swete breed ye disciples cam to Iesus sayinge vnto him: where wylt thou that we prepare for ye to eate ye paschall lambe?
18 And he sayd: Go into the cite vnto soche a man and saye to him: the master sayeth my tyme is at hande I will kepe myne ester at thy housse with my disciples.
19 And the disciples did as Iesus had apoynted them and made redy the esterlambe.
20 When the even was come he sate doune wt the .xii.
21 And as they dyd eate he sayde: Verely I saye vnto you that one of you shall betraye me.
22 And they were excedinge sorowfull and beganne every one of the to saye vnto him: is it I master?
23 He answered and sayde: he yt deppeth his honde wt me in ye disshe the same shall betraye me.
24 The sonne of ma goeth as it is written of him: but wo be to yt ma by whom ye sonne of man shalbe betrayed. It had bene good for that man yf he had never bene borne.
25 Then Iudas wich betrayed him answered and sayde: is it I master? He sayde vnto him: thou hast sayde.
26 As they dyd eate Iesus toke breed and gave thankes brake it and gave it to the disciples and sayde: Take eate this is my body.
27 And he toke the cup and thanked and gave it them sayinge: drinke of it every one.
28 For this is my bloude of the new testament that shalbe shedde for many for the remission of synnes.
29 I saye vnto you: I will not drinke hence forth of this frute of the vyne tree vntyll that daye when I shall drinke it new with you in my fathers kyngdome.
30 And when they had sayde grace they went out into mounte olyvete.
31 Then sayd Iesus vnto them: all ye shall be offended by me this night. For it is wrytten. I will smyte ye shepe herde and the shepe of ye flocke shalbe scattered abroode.
32 But after I am rysen ageyne I will goo before you into Galile.
33 Peter answered and sayde vnto him: though all men shulde be offended by ye yet wolde I never be offended.
34 Iesus sayde vnto him. Verely I saye vnto ye that this same night before the cocke crowe thou shalt denye me thryse.
35 Peter sayde vnto him: Yf I shulde dye with ye yet wolde I not denye ye Lyke wyse also sayde all ye disciples.
36 Then went Iesus with them into a place which is called Gethsemane and sayde vnto the disciples syt ye here whyll I go and praye yonder.
37 And he toke with him Peter and the two sonnes of zebede and began to wexe sorowfull and to be in an agonye.
38 Then sayd Iesus vnto them: my soule is hevy even vnto the deeth. Tary ye here and watche wt me.
39 And he went a lytell aparte and fell flat on his face and prayed sayinge: O my father yf it be possible let this cuppe passe from me: neverthelesse not as I wyll but as thou wylt.
40 And he came vnto the disciples and founde them a slepe and sayde to Peter: what coulde ye not watche with me one houre:
41 watche and praye that ye fall not into temptacion. The spirite is willynge but the flesshe is weake.
42 He went awaye once moare and prayed sayinge: O my father yf this cuppe can not passe away from me but yt I drinke of it thy wyll be fulfylled.
43 And he came and founde the a slepe agayne. For their eyes were hevy.
44 And he lefte them and went agayne and prayed ye thrid tyme sayinge ye same wordes.
45 Then came he to his disciples and sayd vnto them: Slepe hence forth and take youre reest. Take hede the houre is at honde and ye sonne of man shalbe betrayed into ye hondes of synners.
46 Ryse let vs be goinge: beholde he is at honde yt shall betraye me.
47 Whyll he yet spake: lo Iudas one of ye xii. came and wt him a greate multitude wt sweardes and staves sent from the chefe prestes and elders of the people.
48 And he that betrayed him had geven the a token sayinge: whosoever I kysse yt same is he ley hondes on him.
49 And forth wt all he came to Iesus and sayde: hayle master and kyssed him.
50 And Iesus sayde vnto him: frende wherfore arte thou come? Then came they and layed hondes on Iesus and toke him.
51 And beholde one of them which were with Iesus stretched oute his honde and drue his swearde and stroke a servaunt of the hye preste and smote of his eare.
52 Then sayde Iesus vnto him: put vp thy swearde into his sheathe. For all that ley hond on ye swearde shall perisshe with ye swearde.
53 Ether thinkest thou that I cannot now praye to my father and he shall geve me moo then .xii. legions of angelles?
54 But how then shuld the scriptures be fulfylled: for so must it be.
55 The same tyme sayd Iesus to the multitude: ye be come out as it were vnto a thefe with sweardes and staves for to take me. I sate daylie teachinge in the temple amoge you and ye toke me not.
56 All this was done that the scriptures of the Prophetes myght be fulfilled.
57 Then all the disciples forsoke him and fleed. And they toke Iesus and leed him to Cayphas the hye preeste where the Scribes and the Elders where assembled.
58 And Peter folowed him a farre of vnto the hye prestes place: and went in and sate with the servauntes to se the ende.
59 The chefe prestes and the elders and all the counsell sought false witnes agenste Iesus for to put him to deeth
60 but founde none: in somoche that when many false witnesses cam yet founde they none. At the last came two false witnesses
61 and sayd: This felowe sayde: I can distroye the temple of God and bylde it agayne in .iii. dayes.
62 And the chefe preste arose and sayde to him: answerest thou nothinge? How is it yt these beare witnes ageynst the?
63 But Iesus helde his peace: And the chefe Preeste answered and sayd to him: I charge the in the name of the lyvinge God that thou tell vs whether thou be Christ the sonne of God.
64 Iesus sayd to him: thou haste sayd. Neverthelesse I saye vnto you hereafter shall ye se the sonne of ma syttinge on the right honde of power and come in the clowddes of the skye.
65 Then the hye preste rent his clothes sayinge: He hath blasphemed: what nede we of eny moo witnesses? Behold now ye have hearde his blasphemy:
66 what thinke ye? They answered and sayd: he his worthy to dye.
67 Then spat they in his face and boffeted him with fistes. And other smote him with the palme af their hondes
68 on ye face sayinge: tell vs thou Christ who is he that smote the?
69 Peter sate with out in the palice. And a damsell came to him sayinge: Thou also waste wt Iesus of Galilee:
70 but he denyed before the all sayinge: I woot not what thou sayst.
71 When he was goone out into the poorche another wenche sawe him and sayde vnto them that were there: This felowe was also with Iesus of Nazareth.
72 And agayne he denyed with an oothe that he knew the man.
73 And after a whyle came vnto him they yt stode bye and sayde vnto Peter: suerly thou arte even one of the for thy speache bewreyeth ye.
74 Then beganne he to course and to sweare that he knewe not the man. And immedyatly the cocke krewe.
75 And Peter remembred the wordes of Iesu which sayde vnto him: before the cocke crowe thou shalt deny me thryse: and went out at the dores and wepte bitterly.

Matthew 27

1 When the mornynge was come all ye chefe prestes and the elders of ye people helde a counsayle agenst Iesu to put him to deeth
2 and brought him bounde and delivered him vnto Poncius Pilate the debite.
3 Then when Iudas which betrayed him sawe that he was condempned he repented him sylfe and brought ageyne the .xxx. plattes of sylver to ye chefe prestes and elders
4 sayinge: I have synned betrayinge the innocent bloud. And they sayde: what is that to vs? Se thou to that.
5 And he cast doune the sylver plattes in the temple and departed and went and hounge him sylfe.
6 And the chefe prestes toke the sylver plattes and sayd: it is not lawfull for to put them in to the treasury because it is the pryce of bloud.
7 And they toke counsell and bought with them a potters felde to bury strangers in.
8 Wherfore that felde is called the felde of bloud vntyll this daye.
9 Then was fulfylled that which was spoken by Ieremy the Prophet sayinge: and they toke .xxx. sylver plattes the prise of him that was valued whom they bought of the chyldren of Israel
10 and they gave them for the potters felde as the Lorde appoynted me.
11 Iesus stode before the debite: and the debite axed him sayinge: Arte thou the kynge of ye Iues? Iesus sayd vnto him: Thou sayest
12 and when he was accused of ye chefe prestes and elders he answered nothinge.
13 Then sayd Pilate vnto him: hearest thou not how many thinges they laye ageynste ye?
14 And he answered him to never a worde: in so moche that the debite marveylled greatlie.
15 At that feest the debite was wonte to deliver vnto ye people a presoner whom they wolde desyer.
16 He had then a notable presoner called Barrabas.
17 And when they were gadered together Pilate sayde vnto the: whether wyll ye that I geve losse vnto you Barrabas or Iesus which is called Christ?
18 For he knewe well that for envie they had delivred him.
19 When he was set doune to geve iudgemet his wyfe sent to him sayinge: have thou nothinge to do with that iuste man. For I have suffered many thinges this daye in a dreame about him.
20 But the chefe preestes and the elders had parswaded the people that they shulde axe Barrabas and shulde destroye Iesus.
21 Then the debite answered and sayde vnto them: whether of the twayne wyll ye that I let loosse vnto you? And they sayde Barrabas.
22 Pilate sayde vnto them: what shall I do then with Iesus which is called Christ? They all sayde to him: let him be crucified.
23 Then sayde the debite: what evyll hath he done? And they cryed the more sayinge: let him be crucified.
24 When Pilate sawe that he prevayled nothinge but that moare busines was made he toke water and wasshed his hondes before ye people sayinge: I am innocent of the bloud of this iuste person and that ye shall se.
25 Then answered all the people and sayde: his bloud be on vs and on oure chyldren.
26 Then let he Barrabas loose vnto them and scourged Iesus and delivered him to be crucified.
27 Then the soudeours of the debite toke Iesus vnto the comen hall and gaddered vnto him all the company.
28 And they stripped him and put on him a purpyll roobe
29 and platted a croune of thornes and put vpon his heed and a rede in his ryght honde: and bowed their knees before him and mocked him saying: hayle kinge of the Iewes:
30 and spitted vpon him and toke the rede and smoote him on the heed.
31 And when they had mocked him they toke the robe of him ageyne and put his awne reymet on him and leed him awaye to crucify him.
32 And as they came out they fonnde a man of Cyren named Simon: him they compelled to beare his crosse.
33 And whe they cam vnto ye place called Golgotha (that is to saye a place of deed mens sculles)
34 they gave him veneger to drinke mengled with gall. And when he had tasted therof he wolde not drinke.
35 When they had crucified him they parted his garmentes and did cast lottes: to fulfyll that was spoken by the prophet. They deuyded my garmetes amonge them: and apon my vesture did cast loottes.
36 And they sate and watched him there.
37 And they set vp over his heed the cause of his deeth written. This is Iesus the kynge of the Iewes.
38 And ther were two theves crucified with him one on ye right honde and another on the lyfte.
39 They that passed by revyled him waggynge ther heeddes
40 and sayinge: Thou that destroyest the temple of God and byldest it in thre dayes save thy sylfe. If thou be ye sonne of God come doune from the crosse.
41 Lykwyse also the hye prestes mockinge him with the scribes aud elders sayde:
42 He saved other him sylfe he can not save. If he be ye kynge of Israel: let him now come doune from the crosse and we will beleve him.
43 He trusted in God let him deliver him now yf he will have him: for he sayde I am the sonne of God.
44 That same also the theves which were crucified with him cast in his tethe.
45 From the sixte houre was there dercknes over all the londe vnto the nynth houre.
46 And about ye nynth houre Iesus cryed with a loude voyce sayinge: Eli Eli lama asbathani. That is to saye my God my God why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Some of them that stode there when they herde that sayde: This man calleth for Helyas.
48 And streyght waye one of them ranne and toke a sponge and filled it full of veneger and put it on a rede and gave him to drinke.
49 Other sayde let be: let vs se whyther Helyas will come and deliver him.
50 Iesus cryed agayne with a lowde voyce and yelded vp the goost.
51 And beholde the vayle of the temple dyd rent in twayne from ye toppe to the bottome and the erth dyd quake and the stones dyd rent
52 and graves dyd open: and the bodies of many sainctes which slept arose
53 and came out of ye graves after his resurreccion and came into the holy cite and appered vnto many.
54 When the Centurion and they that were with him watchinge Iesus sawe ye erth quake and those thinges which hapened they feared greatly sayinge. Of a surete this was the sonne of God.
55 And many wemen were there beholdinge him a farre of which folowed Iesus fro Galile ministringe vnto him.
56 Amonge which was Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother of Iames and Ioses and ye mother of zebedes chyldren.
57 When the even was come there came a ryche man of Aramathia named Ioseph which same also was Iesus disciple.
58 He went to Pilate and begged the body of Iesus. Then Pilate commaunded the body to be delivered.
59 And Ioseph toke the body and wrapped it in a clene lynnyn clooth
60 and put it in his newe tombe which he had hewen out even in the roke and rolled a greate stone to the dore of ye sepulcre and departed.
61 And there was Mary Magdalene and the other Mary sittynge over ageynste the sepulcre.
62 The nexte daye that foloweth good frydaye the hye prestes and pharises got them selves to Pilate
63 and sayde: Syr we remember yt this deceaver sayde whyll he was yet alyve After thre dayes I will aryse agayne.
64 Commaunde therfore that the sepulcre be made sure vntyll ye thyrd daye lest paraventure his disciples come and steale him awaye and saye vnto the people he is rysen from deeth and the laste erroure be worsse then the fyrst.
65 Pilate sayde vnto them. Take watche men: Go and make it as sure as ye can.
66 And they went and made the sepulcre sure with watche men and sealed the stone.
