¹ He sayde vnto the disciples, it can not be but offences wyll come, neuerthelesse, wo vnto hym, through whom they come.² It were better for hym, that a mylstone were hanged about his necke, & he cast into the sea, then that he shoulde offende one of these litle ones.³ Take heede to your selues: If thy brother trespasse agaynst thee, rebuke hym: and yf he repent, forgeue hym.⁴ And though he sinne agaynst thee seuen tymes in a day, and seuen tymes in a day turne agayne to thee, saying, it repenteth me: thou shalt forgeue hym.⁵ And the Apostles sayde vnto the Lorde: increase our fayth.⁶ And the Lorde sayde: If ye had fayth [as much] as a grayne of mustarde seede, & should say vnto this Sycamine tree, plucke vp thy selfe by the rootes, and plant thy selfe in the sea, it shoulde obey you.⁷ But which of you, hauyng a seruaunt plowyng, or feedyng cattell, woulde say vnto hym by & by when he were come from the fielde, go and syt downe at the table:⁸ And woulde not rather say vnto hym, dresse, wherwith I may suppe, & gyrde vp thy selfe, and serue me, tyll I haue eaten and dronken, and afterward eate thou, and drynke thou?⁹ Doth he thanke that seruaunt, because he dyd the thynges that were commaunded vnto hym? I trowe not.¹⁰ So lykewyse ye, when ye haue done all those thynges which are commaunded you, say, We are vnprofitable seruauntes, We haue done that which was our duetie to do.

¹¹ And so it was, as he went to Hierusalem, that he passed through the myddest of Samaria and Galilee.¹² And as he entred into a certayne towne, there met hym ten men that were lepers, which stoode a farre of,¹³ And put foorth their voyces, & sayde: Iesu maister, haue mercie on vs.¹⁴ When he sawe them, he sayde vnto them: Go shewe your selues vnto the priestes. And it came to passe, that as they went, they were clensed.¹⁵ And one of them, when he sawe that he was healed, turned backe [agayne] and with a loude voyce praysed God:¹⁶ And fell downe on his face at his feete, and gaue hym thankes: And the same was a Samaritane.¹⁷ And Iesus aunswered, and sayde: Are there not ten clensed? But where are those nine?¹⁸ There are not founde that returned agayne, to geue God prayse, saue [only] this straunger.¹⁹ And he sayde vnto hym: aryse, go thy way, thy fayth hath made thee whole.

²⁰ When he was demaunded of the pharisees, when the kyngdome of God shoulde come: he aunswered them, and sayde, The kyngdome of God shall not come with obseruation.²¹ Neither shall they say, lo here, or lo there: For beholde, the kyngdome of God is within you.²² And he sayde vnto the disciples: the dayes wyll come, when ye shall desyre to see one day of the sonne of man, and ye shall not see it.²³ And they shall say to you, See here, see there: Go not after them, nor folowe them.²⁴ For as the lyghtnyng, that lyghtneth out of the one part that is vnder heauen, and shyneth vnto the other part which is vnder heauen: so shall the sonne of man be in his daye.²⁵ But first must he suffer many thynges, and be refused of this nation.²⁶ And as it was in the dayes of Noe: so shall it be also in the dayes of the sonne of man.²⁷ They dyd eate, and drynke, they maryed wiues, and were maryed, euen vnto the same day that Noe went into the Arke: and the fludde came, & destroyed them all.²⁸ Lykewyse also as it was in the dayes of Lot: they dyd eate, they dranke, they bought, they solde, they planted, they buylded:²⁹ But euen the same day that Lot went out of Sodome, it rayned fire and brimstone from heauen, and destroyed them all.³⁰ Euen thus shall it be, in the day when the sonne of man shalbe reuealed.³¹ At that day, he which is on the house [top,] and his stuffe in the house, let him not come downe to take it out: And let not him that is in the fielde, turne backe agayne lykewyse, to the thynges that he left behynde.³² Remember lottes wyfe.³³ Whosoeuer wyll go about to saue his lyfe, shall loose it: and whosoeuer shall loose his lyfe, shall quicken it.³⁴ I tell you, in that nyght there shalbe two in one bed, the one shalbe receaued, the other shalbe forsaken.³⁵ Two [women] shalbe gryndyng together: the one shalbe receaued, and the other forsaken.³⁶ Two [men] shalbe in the fielde: the one shalbe receaued, & the other forsake.³⁷ And they aunswered, and sayde vnto hym: Where Lorde? He sayde vnto the: Whersoeuer the body shalbe, thyther wyll also the Egles be gathered together.
