Matthew 5

1 When he sawe the people he went vp into a mountayne and when he was set his disciples came to hym
2 and he opened hys mouthe and taught them sayinge:
3 Blessed are the povre in sprete: for theirs is the kyngdome of heven.
4 Blessed are they that morne: for they shalbe conforted.
5 Blessed are the meke: for they shall inheret the erth.
6 Blessed are they which honger and thurst for rightewesnes: for they shalbe filled.
7 Blessed are ye mercifull: for they shall obteyne mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in herte: for they shall se God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shalbe called the chyldren of God.
10 Blessed are they which suffre persecucio for rightwesnes sake: for theirs ys the kyngdome of heuen.
11 Blessed are ye when men reuyle you and persecute you and shall falsly say all manner of yvell saynges agaynst you for my sake.
12 Reioyce and be glad for greate is youre rewarde in heven. + For so persecuted they ye Prophetes which were before youre dayes.
13 ye are ye salt of the erthe: but and yf ye salt have lost hir saltnes what can be salted ther with? It is thence forthe good for nothynge but to be cast oute and to be troade vnder fote of men.
14 Ye are ye light of the worlde. A cite yt is set on an hill cannot be hid
15 nether do men lyght a cadell and put it vnder a busshell but on a candelstick and it lighteth all that are in the house.
16 Let youre light so shyne before men yt they maye se youre good workes and glorify youre father which is in heven.
17 Thinke not yt I am come to destroye the lawe or the Prophets: no I am nott come to destroye them but to fulfyll them.
18 For truely I saye vnto you till heven and erth perisshe one iott or one tytle of the lawe shall not scape tyll all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever breaketh one of these lest commaundmentes and teacheth men so he shalbe called the leest in the kyngdome of heve. But whosoever obserueth and teacheth ye same shal be called greate in the kyngdome of heven.
20 For I saye vnto you except youre rightewesnes excede the righetewesnes of ye Scribes and Pharises ye canot entre into ye kyngdome of heven.
21 Ye have herde howe it was sayd vnto the of ye olde tyme: Thou shalt not kyll. For whoso ever kylleth shall be in daunger of iudgemet.
22 But I say vnto you whosoever is angre with hys brother shalbe in daunger of iudgement. Whosoeuer sayeth vnto his brother Racha shalbe in dauger of a cousell. But whosoeuer sayeth thou fole shalbe in dauger of hell fyre.
23 Therfore whe thou offrest thy gifte at the altare and their remembrest that thy brother hath ought agaynst the:
24 leue there thyne offrynge before the altre and go thy waye first and be reconcyled to thy brother and then come and offre thy gyfte.
25 Agre with thyne adversary quicklye whyles thou arte in ye waye with hym lest that adversary deliver ye to ye iudge and ye iudge delivre ye to ye minister and the thou be cast into preson.
26 I say vnto ye verely: thou shalt not come out thece till thou have payed ye utmost farthige.
27 Ye haue hearde howe it was sayde to the of olde tyme: Thou shalt not comitt advoutrie.
28 But I say vnto you that whosoeuer looketh on a wyfe lustynge after her hathe comitted advoutrie with hir alredy in his hert.
29 Wherfore yf thy right eye offende ye plucke hym out and caste him from the. Better it is for the yt one of thy membres perisshe then that thy hole bodye shuld be cast into hell.
30 Also if thy right honde offend ye cut hym of and caste hym from the. Better yt ys that one of thy membres perisshe then that all thy body shulde be caste in to hell.
31 It ys sayd whosoever put awaye his wyfe let hym geve her a testymonyall also of the devorcement.
32 But I say vnto you: whosoever put awaye his wyfe (except it be for fornicacion) causeth her to breake matrymony. And whosoever maryeth her that is devorsed breaketh wedlocke.
33 Agayne ye haue hearde how it was sayd to the of olde tyme thou shalt not forsuere thy selfe but shalt performe thyne othe to God.
34 But I saye vnto you swere not at all nether by heue for it ys Goddes seate:
35 nor yet by the erth for it is his fote stole: nether by Ierusalem for it ys ye cyte of yt greate kynge:
36 nether shalt thou sweare by thy heed because thou canst not make one white heer or blacke:
37 But your comunicacion shalbe ye ye: nay nay. For whatsoeuer is more then yt cometh of yvell.
38 Ye have hearde how it ys sayd an eye for an eye: a tothe for a tothe.
39 But I saye to you that ye resist not wroge. But whosoever geve the a blowe on thy right cheke tourne to him the other.
40 And yf eny man will sue the at the lawe and take awaye thy coote let hym have thy cloocke also.
41 And whosoever wyll copell the to goo a myle goo wyth him twayne.
42 Geve to him that axeth and fro him that wolde borowe tourne not awaye.
43 Ye have hearde how it is sayde: thou shalt love thyne neghbour and hate thine enimy.
44 But I saye vnto you love youre enimies. Blesse the that coursse you. Do good to them that hate you. Praye for them which doo you wronge and persecute you
45 that ye maye be ye chyldern of youre father that is in heauen: for he maketh his sunne to aryse on ye yvell and on the good and sendeth his reyn on the iuste and vniuste.
46 For yf ye love them which love you: what rewarde shall ye have? Doo not the Publicans euen so?
47 And yf ye be frendly to youre brethren onlye: what singuler thynge doo ye? Do not the Publicans lyke wyse?
48 And yf ye be frendly to youre brethren onlye: what singuler thynge doo ye? Do not the Publicans lyke wyse? ye shall therfore be perfecte eve as youre father which is in heauen is perfecte.

Matthew 6

1 Take hede to youre almes. That ye geve it not in the syght of men to the intent that ye wolde be sene of them. Or els ye get no rewarde of youre father which is in heve.
2 Whe soever therfore thou gevest thine almes thou shalt not make a tropet to be blowe before the as ye ypocrites do in the synagogis and in the stretis for to be preysed of men. Verely I say vnto you they have their rewarde.
3 But whe thou doest thine almes let not thy lyfte had knowe what thy righte had doth
4 yt thine almes may be secret: and thy father which seith in secret shall rewarde ye opely.
5 And when thou prayest thou shalt not be as ye ypocrytes are. For they love to stond and praye in the synagoges and in the corners of ye stretes because they wolde be sene of men. Verely I saye vnto you they haue their rewarde.
6 But when thou prayest entre into thy chamber and shut thy dore to the and praye to thy father which ys in secrete: and thy father which seith in secret shall rewarde the openly.
7 And whe ye praye bable not moche as the hethe do: for they thincke that they shalbe herde for their moche bablynges sake.
8 Be ye not lyke them therfore. For youre father knoweth wherof ye haue neade before ye axe of him.
9 After thys maner therfore praye ye. O oure father which arte in heve halowed be thy name.
10 Let thy kyngdome come. Thy wyll be fulfilled as well in erth as it ys in heven.
11 Geve vs this daye oure dayly breede.
12 And forgeve vs oure treaspases eve as we forgeve oure trespacers.
13 And leade vs not into teptacion: but delyver vs fro evell. For thyne is ye kyngedome and ye power and ye glorye for ever. Amen.
14 For and yf ye shall forgeve other men their treaspases youre hevenly father shall also forgeve you.
15 But and ye wyll not forgeve men their trespases nomore shall youre father forgeve youre treaspases.
16 Moreoure when ye faste be not sad as ye ypocrytes are. For they disfigure their faces that they myght be sene of me how they faste. Verely I say vnto you they have their rewarde.
17 But thou whe thou fastest annoynte thyne heed and washe thy face
18 that it appere not vnto men howe that thou fastest: but vnto thy father which is in secrete: and thy father which seeth in secret shall rewarde the openly.
19 Se that ye gaddre you not treasure vpon ye erth where rust and mothes corrupte and where theves breake through and steale.
20 But gaddre ye treasure togeder in heve where nether rust nor mothes corrupte and where theves nether breake vp nor yet steale.
21 For where soever youre treasure ys there will youre hertes be also.
22 The light of the body is thyne eye. Wher fore if thyne eye besyngle all thy body shalbe full of light.
23 But and if thyne eye be wycked then all thy body shalbe full of derckenes. Wherfore yf the light that is in the be darckenes: how greate is that darckenes.
24 No ma can serve two masters. For ether he shall hate the one and love the other: or els he shall lene to ye one and despise ye other: ye can not serve God and mammon.
25 Therfore I saye vnto you be not carefull for your lyfe what ye shall eate or what ye shall drincke nor yet for youre body what ye shall put on. ys not ye lyfe more worth then meate and the body more of value then raymeut?
26 Beholde the foules of ye ayer: for they sowe not nether reepe nor yet cary into ye barnes: and yet youre hevely father fedeth the. Are ye not moche better the they?
27 Which of you (though he toke thought therfore) coulde put one cubit vnto his stature?
28 And why care ye then for raymet? Considre ye lylies of ye felde how they growe. They labour not nether spynne.
29 And yet for all yt I saye vnto you yt eue Salomon in all his royalte was not arayed lyke vnto one of these.
30 Wherfore yf God so clothe the grasse which ys to daye in the felde and to morowe shalbe caste in to the fournace: shall he not moche more do the same vnto you o ye of lytle fayth?
31 Therfore take no thought sayinge: what shall we eate or what shall we drincke or wherwt shall we be clothed?
32 After all these thynges seke the getyls. For youre hevely father knoweth that ye have neade of all these thynges.
33 But rather seke ye fyrst the kyngdome of heuen and the rightwisnes therof and all these thynges shalbe ministred vnto you.
34 Care not then for the morow but let ye morow care for it selfe: for the daye present hath ever ynough of his awne trouble.

Matthew 7

1 Iudge not that ye be not iudged.
2 For as ye iudge so shall ye be iudged. And wt what mesure ye mete wt the same shall it be mesured to you agayne.
3 Why seist thou a moote in thy brothers eye and perceavest not the beame yt ys yn thyne awne eye.
4 Or why sayest thou to thy brother: suffre me to plucke oute the moote oute of thyne eye and behold a beame is in thyne awne eye.
5 Ypocryte fyrst cast oute the beame oute of thyne awne eye and then shalte thou se clearly to plucke oute the moote out of thy brothers eye.
6 Geve not that which is holy to dogges nether cast ye youre pearles before swyne lest they treade them vnder their fete and ye other tourne agayne and all to rent you.
7 Axe and it shalbe geven you. Seke and ye shall fynd. knocke and it shalbe opened vnto you.
8 For whosoever axeth receaveth and he yt seketh fyndeth and to hym that knocketh it shalbe opened.
9 Ys there eny man amoge you which if his sonne axed hym bread wolde offer him astone?
10 Or if he axed fysshe wolde he proffer hym a serpet?
11 Yf ye then which are evyll cane geve to youre chyldren good gyftes: how moche moore shall youre father which is in heve geve good thynges to them yt axe hym?
12 Therfore whatsoever ye wolde that men shulde do to you even so do ye to them. This ys the lawe and the Prophettes.
13 Enter in at the strayte gate: for wyde is ye gate and broade is the waye that leadeth to destruccion: and many ther be which goo yn therat.
14 But strayte is the gate and narowe ys the waye which leadeth vnto lyfe: and feawe there be that fynde it.
15 Beware of false Prophetes which come to you in shepes clothinge but inwardly they are ravenynge wolves.
16 Ye shall knowe them by their frutes. Do men gaddre grapes of thornes? or figges of bryres?
17 Euen soo every good tree bryngeth forthe good frute. But a corrupte tree bryngethe forthe evyll frute.
18 A good tree canot brynge forthe bad frute: nor yet a bad tree can bringe forthe good frute.
19 Every tree that bryngethe not forthe good frute shalbe hewe doune and cast into the fyre.
20 Wherfore by their frutes ye shall knowe the.
21 Not all they that saye vnto me Master Master shall enter in to the kyngdome of heven: but he that dothe my fathers will which ys in heven.
22 Many will saye to me in that daye Master master have we not in thy name prophesied? And in thy name have caste oute devyls? And in thy name have done many miracles?
23 And then will I knowlege vnto them that I never knewe them. Departe from me ye workers of iniquite.
24 Whosoever heareth of me these sayinges and doethe the same I wyll lyken hym vnto a wyse man which bylt hys housse on a rocke:
25 and aboundance of rayne descended and the fluddes came and the wyndes blewe and bet vpon that same housse and it fell not because it was grounded on the rocke.
26 And whosoever heareth of me these sayinges and doth the not shalbe lykened vnto a folysh man which bilt hys housse apo the sondes:
27 and abundauce of rayne descended and the fluddes came and ye wyndes blewe and beet vpon that housse and it fell and great was the fall of it.
28 And it came to passe that when Iesus had ended these saynges the people were astonnyed at hys doctryne.
29 For he taught them as one havynge power and not as the Scribes.

7 And Iesus sayd vnto hym: I will come and heale him.
8 The Centurio answered and sayde: Syr I am not worthy yt thou shuldest come vnder my rofe but speake ye worde only and my servaut shalbe healed.
9 For I also my selfe am a man vndre power and have sowdiers vndre me and I saye to one go and he goeth and to anothre come and he cometh: and to my seruaut do this and he doeth it.
10 When Iesus hearde yt he marveled and sayd to them yt folowed hym. Derely I say vnto you I have not foude so great fayth: no not in Israel.
11 I say therfore vnto you that many shall come fro the eest and weest and shall rest wt Abraham Isaac and Iacob in the kingdome of heve:
12 and the chyldren of ye kyngdome shalbe cast out in to vtter darcknes: there shalbe wepinge and gnasshing of tethe.
13 The Iesus sayd vnto ye Centurion go thy waye and as thou belevest so be it vnto the. And his servaunt was healed the selfe houre.
14 And then Iesus went to Peters housse and sawe hys wyves mother lyinge sicke of a fevre
15 and touched her hande and the fevre left hir: and she arose and ministred vnto them.

29 And behold they cryed out sayinge: O Iesu the sonne of God what have we to do with the? Art thou come hyther to tormet vs before the tyme be come?
30 And ther was a good waye of fro them a greate heerd of swyne fedinge.

1 Then he entred in to a shippe and passed over and came in to his awne cite.
2 And lo they brought to him a ma sicke of ye palsie lyinge in his bed. And when Iesus sawe ye faith of the he sayd to the sicke of ye palsie: sonne be of good chere thy sinnes be forgeve the.
3 And beholde certeyne of ye scribes sayd in the selves this ma blasphemeth.
4 And whe Iesus sawe their thoughtes he sayd: wherfore thinke ye evill in youre hertes?
5 Whether ys esyer to saye thy synnes be forgeven ye or to saye: arise and walke?
6 That ye maye knowe that ye sonne of ma hath power to forgeve sinnes in erth then sayd he vnto ye sicke of ye palsye: arise take vp thy beed and go home to thine housse.
7 And he arose and departed to his awne housse.
8 And when ye people sawe it they marveyled and glorified god which had geve suche power to me.
9 And as Iesus passed forth fro thence he sawe a ma syt a receyuinge of custome named Mathew and sayd to him: folowe me.
10 And he arose and folowed him. And it came to passe as he sat at meate in the housse: beholde many publicans and synners came and sate downe also with Iesus and hys disciples.
11 When the Pharises sawe that they sayd to hys disciples: why eateth youre master wt publicans and synners?
12 When Iesus herde that he sayde vnto them: The whole neade not the phisicion but they that are sicke.
13 Goo and learne what that meaneth: I have pleasure in mercy and not in offerynge. For I am not come to call the rightewes but the synners to repentaunce.
14 Then came ye disciples of Ihon to hym sayinge: why do we and the Pharises fast ofte: but thy disciples fast not?
15 And Iesus sayde vnto them: Can ye weddynge chyldren morne as longe as ye bridegrome is wt them? The tyme will come whe the bridegrome shalbe take fro them and then shall they faste.
16 Noo man peceth and olde garment with a pece of newe cloothe. For then taketh he awaye ye pece agayne from the garmet and the rent ys made greater.
17 Nether do men put newe wyne into olde vessels for then the vessels breake and the wyne runneth oute and the vessels perysshe. But they powre newe wyne into newe vessels and so are both saved togeder.
18 Whyls he thus spake vnto the beholde ther came a certayne ruler and worshipped him sayinge: my doghter is euen now deceased but come and lay thy honde on her and she shall live.
19 And Iesus arose and folowed hym with hys disciples.

21 For she sayd in her silfe: yf I maye toche but even his vesture only I shalbe safe.

31 But they assone as they were departed spreed abroade his name through oute all the londe.
32 As they went out beholde they brought to hym a dome ma possessed af a devyll.
33 And as sone as the devyll was cast oute the domme spake: And the people merveled sayinge: it was never so sene in Israel.
34 But the Pharises sayde: he casteth oute devyls by the power of the chefe devyll.
35 And Iesus went about all cities and tounes teachynge in their synagoges and preachyng the glad tidinges of ye kyngdome and healinge all maner sicknes and desease amoge ye people.

Matthew 10

1 And he called his .xii. disciples vnto hym and gave them power over vnclene sprites to cast them oute and to heale all maner of sicknesses and all maner of deseases.
2 The names of the .xii. Apostles are these. The fyrst Simon called also Peter: and Andrew his brother. Iames the sonne of zebede aud Ihon his brother.
3 Philip and Bartlemew. Thomas and Mathew the Publican. Iames the sonne of Alphe and Lebbeus otherwyse called Taddeus.
4 Simon of Cane and Iudas Iscarioth which also betrayed hym.
5 These .xii. sent Iesus and comaunded them sayinge: Go not in to ye wayes yt leade to the gentyls and in to ye cities of ye Samaritans enter ye not.
6 But go rather to ye lost shepe of the housse of Israel.
7 Go and preach sayinge: yt the kyngdome of heve is at hande.
8 Heale the sicke clense the lepers rayse the deed caste oute the devils. Frely ye have receved frely geve agayne.
9 Posses not golde nor silver nor brassse yn youre gerdels
10 nor yet scrip towardes your iorney: nether two cotes nether shues nor yet a staffe. For the workma is worthy to have his meate.
11 In to whatsoever cite or toune ye shall come enquyre who ys worthy yn it and there abyde till ye goo thence.
12 And whe ye come in to an housse salute ye same.
13 And yf the housse be worthy youre peace shall come apon it. But yf it be not worthy youre peace shall retourne to you agayne.
14 And whosoever shall not receave you nor will heare youre preachynge: when ye departe oute of yt housse or that cite shake of the duste of youre fete.
15 Truly I say vnto you: it shalbe easier for the londe of zodoma and Gomorra in the daye of iudgement then for that cite.
16 Beholde I sende you forthe as shepe amoge wolves. Be ye therfore wyse as serpetes and innocent as doves.
17 Beware of men for they shall deliver you vp to ye cousels and shall scourge you in their synagoges.
18 And ye shall be brought to the heed rulers and kynges for my sake in witnes to them and to the gentyls.
19 But when they delyver you vp take no thought how or what ye shall speake for yt shalbe geve you eve in that same houre what ye shall saye.
20 For it is not ye that speke but ye sprite of your father which speaketh in you.
21 The brother shall betraye the brother to deeth and the father the sonne. And the chyldre shall aryse agaynste their fathers and mothers and shall put them to deethe:
22 and ye shall be hated of all me for my name. But he that endureth to the ende shalbe saved.
23 When they persecute you in one cite flye in to another. I tell you for a treuth ye shall not fynysshe all yt cities of Israel tyll ye sonne of man be come.
24 The disciple ys not above hys master: nor yet ye servaut above his lorde.
25 It is ynough for the disciple to be as hys master ys and that the servaunt be as his lorde ys. yf they have called the lorde of the housse beelzebub: how moche more shall they call them of his housholde so?
26 Feare the not therfore. There is no thinge so close that shall not be openned and no thinge so hyd that shall not be knowen.
27 What I tell you in dercknes that speake ye in lyght. And what ye heare in the eare that preache ye on the housse toppes.
28 And feare ye not them which kyll the body and be not able to kyll the soule. But rather feare hym which is able to destroye bothe soule and body into hell.
29 Are not two sparowes solde for a farthinge? And none of them dothe lyght on the grounde with out youre father.
30 And now are all the heeris of youre heedis numbred.
31 Feare ye not therfore: ye are of more value then many sparowes.
32 Who soever therfore shall knowledge me before men hym will I knowledge also before my father which is in heuen.
33 But whoso ever shall denye me before men hym will I also denye before my father which is in heven.
34 Thynke not that I am come to sende peace into the erth. I came not to send peace but a swearde.
35 For I am come to set a man at varyaunce ageynst hys father and the doughter ageynst hyr mother and the doughterlawe ageynst her motherlawe:
36 And a mannes fooes shalbe they of hys owne housholde.
37 He that lovith hys father or mother more then me is not mete for me. And he that loveth his sonne or doughter more then me is not mete for me.
38 And he yt taketh not his crosse and foloweth me ys not mete for me.
39 He that fyndeth hys lyfe shall lose it: and he that losith hys lyfe for my sake shall fynde it.
40 He that receavith you receavith me: and he that receavith me receavith him that sent me.
41 He that receavith a prophet in ye name of a prophet shall receave a prophetes rewarde. And he that receavith a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receave the rewarde of a righteous man.
42 And whosoever shall geve vnto one of these lytle ones to drincke a cuppe of colde water only in the name of a disciple: I tel you of a trueth he shall not lose his rewarde.

Matthew 11

1 And it came to passe when Iesus had made an ende of comaundinge his .xii. disciples that he departed thence to teache and to preache in their cities.
2 When Ihon beinge in preson hearde ye workes of Christ he sent two of his disciples
3 and sayde vnto him. Arte thou he that shall come: or shall we loke for another.
4 Iesus answered and sayde vnto them. Go and shewe Ihon what ye have hearde and sene.
5 The blynd se the halt goo the lepers are clensed: the deef heare the ded ryse ageyne and the glad tidinges is preached to the povre.
6 And happy is he that is not offended by me.
7 And as they departed Iesus begane to speake vnto the people of Ihon. What for to se wet ye out in to the wyldernes? wet ye out to se a rede shake with ye wynde?
8 other what wet ye out for to se? A man clothed in soofte raymet:? Beholde they yt weare soofte clothig are in kynges howses.
9 But what wet ye oute for to se? A prophete? Ye I saye to you and more the a prophete.
10 For this is he of who it is wrytte. Beholde I sende my messenger before thy face which shall prepare thy waye before ye.
11 Verely I saye vnto you amonge ye chyldren of wemen arose there not a gretter then Ihon the baptist. Notwithstondinge he that ys lesse in the kyngdome of heven ys gretter then he.
12 From the tyme of Ihon Baptist hytherto ye kyngdome of heve suffreth violence and they that go to it with violence pluck it vnto them.
13 For all the prophetes and the lawe prophesyed vnto to the tyme of Ihon.
14 Also yf ye wyll receave it this is Helyas which shuld come.
15 He yt hathe eares to heare let him heare.
16 But wher vnto shall I lyken this generacion? It ys lyke vnto chyldre which syt in the market and call vnto their felowes
17 and saye: we have pyped vnto you and ye have not daunsed? We have morned vnto you and ye have not sorowed.
18 For Ihon came nether eatinge nor drinkinge and they saye he hath the devyll.
19 The sonne of man came eatinge and drinkinge and they saye beholde a glutton and drynker of wyne and a frend vnto publicas and synners. Never the later wysdome ys iustified of hir children.
20 Then bega he to vpbrayd the cities in which most of his miracles were done because they meded not.
21 Wo be to ye Chorasin. Wo be to ye Betzaida: for if the miracles which were shewd in you had bene done in Tyre and Sidon they had repented longe agone in sackcloth and asshes.
22 Neverthelesse I say to you: it shall be esier for Tyre and Sidon at the day of iudgemet then for you.
23 And thou Capernau which art lift vp vnto heve shalt be brought doune to hell. For if the miracles which have bene done in the had bene shewed in zodom: they had remayned to this daye.
24 Neverthelesse I saye vnto you: it shalbe easiar for ye londe of zodo in the daye of iudgemet the for ye.
25 At yt tyme Iesus answered and sayd: I prayse ye o father lorde of heve and erth because thou hast hid these thinges fro the wyse and prudet and hast opened the vnto babes:
26 eve so father for so it pleased ye.
27 All thinges are geve vnto me of my father. And noma knoweth ye sonne but ye father: nether knoweth eny ma ye father save ye sonne and he to whome ye sonne will ope him.
28 Come vnto me all ye that laboure and are laden and I wyll ease you.
29 Take my yoke on you and lerne of me for I am meke and lowly in herte: and ye shall fynd rest vnto youre soules.
30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Matthew 12

1 In that tyme went Iesus on the Sabot dayes thorow the corne and his disciples were anhogred and begane to plucke the eares of coorne and to eate.
2 When ye pharises sawe that they sayde vnto him: Beholde thy disciples do that which is not lawfull to do apon ye saboth daye.
3 He sayde vnto the: Haue ye not reed what David did whe he was anhougered and they also which were with him?
4 How he entred into the housse of God and ate ye halowed loves which were not lawfull for him to eate nether for the which were wt him but only for ye prestes.
5 Or have ye not reed in ye lawe how that ye prestes in ye temple breake the saboth daye and yet are blamlesse?
6 But I saye vnto you: that here is one greater then ye teple.
7 Wherfore yf ye had wist what this sayinge meneth: I require mercy and not sacrifice: ye wold never have condened innocetes.
8 For ye sonne of man is lord even of ye saboth daye.
9 And he departed thence and went into their synagoge:
10 and beholde ther was a man whiche had his hande dryed vp. And they axed him sayinge: ys it lawfull to heale apon ye saboth dayes? because they myght acuse him.
11 And he sayde vnto the: whiche of you wolde it be yf he had a shepe fallen into a pitte on ye saboth daye that wolde not take him and lyft him out?
12 And how moche is a man better the a shepe? Wherfore it is lefull to do a good dede on the saboth dayes.
13 Then sayde he to ye ma: stretch forth thy had. And he stretched it forthe. And it was made whole agayne lyke vnto ye other.
14 Then ye Pharyses wet out and helde a cousell agaynst hym how they myght destroye hym.
15 When Iesus knewe yt he departed thece and moche people folowed him and he healed the all
16 and charged the that they shuld not make him knowe:
17 to fulfyll that which was spoden by Esay ye Prophet which sayeth.
18 Beholde my chylde who I have chosen my beloved in who my soule deliteth. I wyll put my sprete on hym and he shall shewe iudgemet to ye gentyls.
19 He shall not stryve he shall not crye nether shall eny man heare his voyce in ye streetes
20 a brosed rede shall he not breacke and flaxe that begynneth to burne he shall not queche tyll he sende forth iudgement vnto victory
21 and in hys name shall the gentyls truste.
22 Then was brought to hym one possessed with a devyll which was both blynde and domme: and he healed hym insomoch that he which was blynd and domme both spake and sawe.
23 And all the people were amased and sayde: Ys not this that sonne of David?
24 But when the Pharises hearde that they sayde: This felow dryveth ye devyls no nother wyse oute but by the helpe of Belzebub ye chefe of the devyls.
25 But Iesus knewe their thoughtes and sayde to the. Every kingdome devided wt in it sylfe shalbe brought to naught. Nether shall eny cite or housholde devyded agest it sylfe cotynue.
26 So if sata cast out sata the is he devyded agenst him sylfe. How shall then his kyngdome endure?
27 Also if I by ye helpe of Belzebub cast oute devyls: by whose helpe do youre chyldren cast them out? Therfore they shalbe youre iudges.
28 But if I cast out the devyls by the sprite of God: then is the kyngdome of god come on you?
29 Ether how can a ma enter into a stroge manes housse and violently take awaye his goodes: excepte he fyrst binde ye stroge man and the spoyle his housse?
30 He that is not wt me is agaynst me. And he yt gaddereth not wt me scattereth abrode.
31 Wherfore I say vnto you all maner of synne and blasphemy shalbe forgeven vnto men: but the blasphemy of ye sprite shall not be forgeven vnto men.
32 And whoso ever speaketh a worde agaynst the sonne of man it shalbe forgeven him. But whosoever speaketh agaynst the holy goost it shall not be forgeven hym: no nether in this worlde nether in the worlde to come.
33 Ether make ye tree good and his frute good also: or els make ye tree evyll and his frute evyll also. For ye tree is knowe by his frute.
34 O generacio of viperes how can ye saye well whe ye youre selves are evyll? For of ye aboundace of the hert ye mouthe speaketh.
35 A good ma oute of ye good treasure of his hert bringeth forth good thynges. And an evyll man out of his evyll treasure bringeth forth evyll thinges.
36 But I say vnto you that of every ydell worde that men shall have spoken: they shall geve acountes at the daye of iudgement.
37 For by thy wordes thou shalt be iustifyed: and by thy wordes thou shalt be condemned.
38 Then answered certeyne of the scribes and of the Pharises sayinge: Master we wolde fayne se a sygne of ye.
39 He answered and sayde to the: The evyll and advoutrous generacio seketh a signe but ther shall no signe be geve to the saue the signe of the Prophete Ionas.
40 For as Ionas was thre dayes and thre nyghtes in the whales belly: soo shall ye sonne of man be thre dayes and thre nyghtes in ye hert of ye erth.
41 The men of Ninivie shall rise at the daye of iugdement with this nacion and condemne them: for they amended at ye preachinge of Ionas. And beholde a greater then Ionas is here.
42 The quene of ye south shall ryse at ye daye of iudgement with this generacion and shall condemne the: for she came fro the vtmost parties of the worlde to heare the wysdome of Salomon. And beholde a greater then Salomo is here.
43 When the vnclene sprite is gone out of a man he walketh throughout dry places seking reest and fyndeth none.
44 Then he sayeth: I will retourne ageyne into my housse fro whece I came oute. And when he is come he fyndeth the housse empty and swepte and garnisshed.
45 Then he goeth his waye and taketh vnto him seven other spretes worsse then himsilfe and so entre they in and dwell there. And the ende of that man is worsse then the beginning. Even so shall it be with this evell nacion.
46 Whill he yet talked to the people: beholde his mother and his brethren stode without desyringe to speake with him.
47 Then one sayde vnto hym: beholde thy mother and thy brethre stonde without desiringe to speke wt the.
48 He answered and sayd to him that tolde hym: Who is my mother? or who are my brethren?
49 And he stretched forth his hond over his disciples and sayd: behold my mother and my brethren.
50 For whosoever dothe my fathers will which is in heve the same is my brother suster and mother.

Matthew 13

1 The same daye wet Iesus out of ye house and sat by the seesyde
2 and moch people resorted vnto him so gretly yt he wet and sat in a shippe and all the people stode on ye shoore.
3 And he spake many thynges to the in similitudes sayinge: Beholde ye sower wet forth to sowe.
4 And as he sowed some fell by ye wayessyde and the fowlles came and devoured it vp.
5 Some fell apo stony groude where it had not moche erth and a none it sproge vp because it had no depth of erth:
6 and when ye sunne was vp it cauht heet and for lake of rotynge wyddred awaye.
7 Some fell amoge thornes and the thornes sproge vp and chooked it.
8 Parte fell in good groud and brought forth good frute: some an hudred fold some sixtie fold some thyrty folde.
9 Whosoever hath eares to heare let him heare.
10 And the disciples came and sayde to him: Why speakest thou to the in parables?
11 He answered and sayde vnto them: it is geve vnto you to knowe ye secretes of the kyngdome of heve but to the it is not geve.
12 For whosoever hath to him shall be geven: and he shall have aboundance. But whosoever hath not: fro hym shalbe takyn awaye even that he hath.
13 Therfore speake I to them in similitudes: for though they se they se not: and hearinge they heare not: nether vnderstonde.
14 And in the is fulfilled ye Prophesie of Esayas which prophesie sayth: with the eares ye shall heare and shall not vnderstonde and with the eyes ye shall se and shall not perceave.
15 For this peoples hertes are wexed grosse and their eares were dull of herynge and their eyes have they closed lest they shulde se with their eyes and heare with their eares and shuld vnderstonde with their hertes and shuld tourne that I myght heale them.
16 But blessed are youre eyes for they se: and youre eares for they heare.
17 Verely I say vnto you that many Prophetes and perfaicte me have desired to se tho thinges which ye se and have not sene the: and to heare tho thinges which ye heare and have not herde the.
18 Heare ye therfore ye similitude of the sower.
19 Whosoever heareth the worde of ye kingdome and vnderstondeth it not ther cometh the evyll ma and catcheth awaye yt which was sowne in his hert. And this is he which was sowne by the wayesyde.
20 But he yt was sowne in ye stony groude is he which heareth the worde of God and anone wt ioye receaveth it
21 yet hath he no rottes in him selfe and therfore dureth but a season: for assone as tribulacion or persecucion aryseth because of the worde by and by he falleth.
22 He yt was sowne amoge thornes is he yt heareth ye worde of God: but the care of this worlde and the dissaytfulnes of ryches choke ye worde and so is he made vnfrutfull.
23 He which is sowne in ye good grounde is he yt heareth ye worde and vnderstodeth it which also bereth frute and bringeth forth some an.C. folde some sixtie folde and some .xxx. folde.
24 Another similitude put he forth vnto the sayinge: The kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a man which sowed good seed in his felde.
25 But whyll men slepte ther came his foo and sowed tares amoge ye wheate and wet his waye.
26 When ye blade was sproge vp and had brought forth frute the appered ye tares also.
27 The servauntes came to the housholder and sayde vnto him: Syr sowedest not thou good seed in thy closse fro whece the hath it tares?
28 He sayde to the the envious ma hath done this. Then ye servauntes sayde vnto him: wilt thou then yt we go and gader them?
29 But he sayde nay lest whill ye go aboute to wede out ye tares ye plucke vppe also wt them ye wheate by ye rottes:
30 let bothe growe to gether tyll harvest come and in tyme of harvest I wyll saye to the repers gather ye fyrst ye tares and bind the in sheves to be bret: but gather the wheete into my barne.
31 Another parable he put forthe vnto the sayinge. The kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a grayne of mustard seed which a ma taketh and soweth in his felde
32 which is ye leest of all seedes. But when it is groune it is the greatest amoge yerbes and it is a tree: so yt the bryddes of the ayer come and bylde in the brauches of it.
33 Another similitude sayde he to them. The kyngdome of heven is lyke vnto leve which a woman taketh and hydeth in .iii. peckes of meele tyll all be levended.
34 All these thynge spake Iesus vnto the people by similitudes and with oute similitudes spake he nothinge to them
35 to fulfyll that which was spoke by the Prophet sayinge: I wyll ope my mouth in similitudes and wyll speake forth thinges which have bene kepte secrete from the begynninge of the worlde.
36 Then sent Iesus ye people awaye and came to housse. And his disciples came vnto him sayinge: declare vnto vs the similitude of the tares of the felde.
37 Then answered he and sayde to them. He that soweth the good seed is the sonne of man.
38 And ye felde is the worlde. And the chyldre of the kingdome they are ye good seed. And the tares are the chyldren of ye wicked.
39 And the enemye that soweth the is ye devell. The harvest is ye end of the worlde. And the repers be ye angels.
40 For eve as the tares are gaddred and bret in ye fyre: so shall it be in ye ende of this worlde.
41 The sonne of man shall send forth his angels and they shall gather out of his kyngdome all thinges that offende and them which do iniquite
42 and shall cast them into a furnes of fyre. There shalbe waylynge and gnasshing of teth.
43 Then shall the iuste men shyne as bryght as the sunne in ye kyngdome of their father. Whosoever hath eares to heare let him heare.
44 Agayne ye kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto treasure hidde in the felde ye which a man fyndeth and hideth: and for ioy therof goeth and selleth all that he hath and byeth that felde.
45 Agayne ye kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a marchaunt that seketh good pearles
46 which when he had founde one precious pearle wet and solde all that he had and bought it.
47 Agayne the kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a neet cast into ye see yt gadereth of all kyndes of fysshes:
48 which whe it is full men drawe to londe and sitte and gadre the good into vessels and cast the bad awaye.
49 So shall it be at the ende of the worlde. The angels shall come oute and sever the bad from the good
50 and shall cast them into a furnes of fyre: there shalbe waylinge and gnasshynge of teth.
51 Iesus sayde vnto them: vnderstonde ye all these thynges? They sayde ye Lorde.
52 The sayde he vnto them: Therfore every scribe which is taught vnto the kyngdome of heve is lyke an housholder which bryngeth forth out of hys treasure thynges bothe new and olde.
53 And it came to passe when Iesus had finisshed these similitudes yt he departed thece
54 and came in to his awne coutre and taught them in their synagoges in so moche yt they were astonyed and sayde: whece cometh all this wysdome and power vnto him?
55 Is not this the carpeters sonne? Is not his mother called Mary? and his brethre be called Iames and Ioses and Simo and Iudas?
56 And are not his susters all here wt vs? Whece hath he all these thynge.
57 And they were offended by him. The Iesus sayd to the a Prophet is not wt out honoure save in hys awne countre and amoge his awne kynne.
58 And he dyd not many miracles there for there vnbelefes sake.

Matthew 14:1-12

1 At that tyme Herod the tetrarcha hearde of the fame of Iesu
2 and sayde vnto his servautes: This is Ihon ye baptist. He is risen agayne from deeth and therfore are soche myracles wrought by him.
3 For Herod had taken Ihon and bounde him and put him in preson for Herodias sake his brother Philips wyfe.
4 For Ihon sayde vnto him: Yt is not lawfull for the to have her.
5 And when he wold have put him to deeth he feared the people because they counted him as a prophet.
6 But when Herodes birth daye was come the doughter of Herodias daunsed before them and pleased Herod.
7 Wherfore he promised wt an oth that he wolde geve hir whatsoever she wolde axe.
8 And she beinge informed of her mother before sayde: geve me here Ihon baptistes heed in a platter.
9 And ye kynge sorowed. Neverthelesse for his othes sake and for their sakis which sate also at ye table he comaunded yt to be geven hir:
10 and sent and beheeded Ihon in the preson
11 and his heed was brought in a platter and geven to the damsell and she brought it to her mother.
12 And his disciples came and toke vp his body and buryed it: and went and tolde Iesus.
