THE GOSPELL OF ST. LUKE Chpt 13
Then said he: What is the kingdom of God like? or whereto shall I compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his garden: and it grew and waxed a great tree, and the fowls of the air made nests in the branches of it.
THE GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 13
Another parable he put forth unto them saying. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man taketh and soweth in his field, which is the least of all seeds. But when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and it is a tree: so that the birds of the air come and build in the branches of it.
and of the baskets came the teaching of God to Peter that he see ...not see or judge according to his own sight ...Yet by what is shown of God in spirit and truth.
THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES Chpt 10
There was a certain man in Cesarea called Cornelius, a captain of the soldiers of Italy, a devout man, and one that feared God with all his household, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed God always. The same man saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day, an Angel of God coming into him, and saying unto him: Cornelius. When he looked on him, he was afraid, and said: what is it Lord? He said unto him. Thy prayers and thy alms are come up into remembrance before God. And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon named also Peter. He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He shall tell thee, what thou oughtest to do. When the Angel which spake unto Cornelius, was departed, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of them that waited on him, and told them all the matter, and sent them to Joppa.
On the morrow as they went on their journey and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the top of the house to pray, about the sixth hour. Then waxed he an hungered, and would have eaten. But while they made ready. He fell into a trance, and saw heaven opened and a certain vessel come down unto him, as it had been a great sheet, knit at the four corners, and was let down to the earth, where in were all manner of four footed beasts of the earth, and vermin and worms, and fouls of the air. And there came a voice to him: rise Peter kill and eat. But Peter said: God forbid Lord, for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. And the voice spake unto him again the second time: what God hath cleansed, that make thou not common. This was done *thrice, and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
While Peter mused in him self what this vision which he had seen meant: behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius, had made inquirance for Simons house, and stood before the door. And called out one and asked whether Simon which was also called Peter were lodged there. While Peter thought on this vision, the spirit said unto him: Behold, men seek thee: arise therefore, get thee down, and go with them, and doubt not: For I have sent them. Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius, and said. Behold, I am he whom ye seek, what is the cause wherefore ye are come? And they said unto him: Cornelius the captain, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the people of the Jews, was warned by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee. Then called he them in, and lodged them.
And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him. And the third day entered they into Cesaria. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen, and special friends. And as it chanced Peter to come in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. But Peter took him up saying: stand up: for even I my self am a man. And as he talked with him he came in, and found many that were come together. And he said unto them: Ye do know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew, to company or come unto an alien: But God hath showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean: therefore came I unto you without saying nay, as soon as I was sent for. I ask therefore, for what intent have ye sent for me?
And Cornelius said: This day now four days I fasted and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house: and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, and said: Cornelius, thy prayer is heard and thine alms deeds are had in remembrance in the sight of God. Send therefore to Joppa, and call for Simon which is also called Peter. He is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side, the which as soon as he is come, shall speak unto thee. Then sent I for thee immediately: and thou hast well done for to come. Now are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded unto thee of God.
Then Peter opened his mouth and said: Of a truth I perceive, that God is not partial, but in all people he that fear him and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
Ye know the preaching that God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, which is Lord over all things. Which preaching was published throughout all Jewry, and began in Galile, after the baptism which John preached, how God had anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy ghost, and with power. Which Jesus went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devils, for God was with him. And we are witnesses of all things which he did in the land of the Jewes and at Jerusalem: whom they slew, and hung on tree. Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly, not to all the people, but unto us witnesses chosen before of God, which ate and drank with him, after he arose from death. And he commanded unto us to preach unto the people and testify, that it is he that is ordained of God a judge of quick and dead. To him give all the Prophets witness, that through his name, all that believe in him shall receive remission of sins.
While Peter yet spake these words, the holy ghost fell on all them which heard the preaching. And they of the circumcision which believed, were astonied, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was shed out the gift of the holy ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then answered Peter: can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptised, which have received the holy ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him, to tarry a few days*thrice (three times),
and of the whelps ...of under the table ...when God taught Jesus ...when the woman said that even the whelps eat the crumbs that fall from the table of the chosen ...
THE GOSPELL OF ST. MARK Chpt 7
And the Pharisees came together unto him, and divers of the Scribes which came from Jerusalem. And when they saw certain of his disciples eat bread with common hands (that is to say, with unwashen hands) they complained. For the Pharisees and all the Jews, except they wash their hands often, eat not, observing the traditions of the elders. And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have taken upon them to observe, as the washing of cups and *cruses, and of brazen vessels, and of tables.
Then asked him the Pharisees and Scribes, why walk not thy disciples according to the traditions of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? He answered and said unto them: well prophesied Esaias of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me: In vain they worship me, teaching doctrines which are nothing but the commandments of men. For ye lay the commandment of God apart, and observe the traditions of men, as the washing of *cruses and of cups, and many other such like things ye do.
And he said unto them: well, ye cast aside the commandment of God, to maintain your own traditions. For Moses said: Honour thy father and thy mother: and whosoever curseth father or mother, let him die for it. But ye say: a man shall say to father or mother Corban: which is: that thou desirest of me to help thee with is given God. And so ye suffer him no more to do *ought for his father or his mother, making the word of God of none effect, through your own traditions which ye have ordained. And many such things ye do.
And he called all the people unto him, and said unto them: Hearken unto me, every one of you and understand. There is nothing with out a man that can defile him when it entereth into him: but those things which proceed out of him, are those which defile the man. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. And when he came to house away from the people, his disciples asked him of the similitude. And he said unto them: Are ye so without, understanding? Do ye not yet perceive, that whatsoever thing from without, entereth into a man, it cannot defile him, because it entereth not in to his heart, but into the belly: and goeth out into the *draught that purgeth out all meats.
And he said: that defileth a man which cometh out of a man. For from with in, even out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts: *advoutry, fornication, murder, theft, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, uncleanness, and a wicked eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: all these evil things come from with in, and defile a man.
And from thence he rose and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon: and entered into an house, and would that no man should have known. But he could not be hid. For a certain woman whose daughter had a foul spirit heard of him, and came and fell at his feet. The woman was a Greek out of Syrophenicia, and she besought him that he would cast out the devil out of her daughter. And Jesus said unto her: let the children first be fed. For it is not meet, to take the childrens bread, and to cast it unto whelps. She answered and said unto him: even so Master, nevertheless, the whelps also eat under the table of the childrens crumbs. And he said unto her: for this saying go thy way, the devil is gone out of thy daughter. And when she was come home to her house, she found the devil departed, and her daughter lying on the bed.
And he departed again from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, and came unto the sea of Galile through the midst of the coasts of the ten cities. And they brought unto him one that was deaf and stammered in his speech, and prayed him to lay his hand upon him. And he took him aside from the people, and put his fingers in his ears, and did spit and touched his tongue, and looked up to heaven and sighted, and said unto him: Ephatha, that is to say, be opened. And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. And he commanded them that they should tell no man. But the more he forbade them, so much the more a great deal they published it: and were beyond measure astonished, saying: He hath done all things well, and hath made both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak*cruses (earthen vessel), *ought (anything). *draught: natural bowel movement .
*advoutry: prefix "a" meaning not or without, devout: devotion; plain hearted to God, being devoted to something or some one else. see James 2 for adultery.
