THE GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 13
The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side, and much people resorted unto him, so greatly that he went, and sat in a ship, and all the people stood on the shore. And he spake many things to them in similitudes, saying: Behold, the sower went forth to sow. And as he sowed, some fell by the ways side, and the fowls came and devoured it up. Some fell upon stony ground where it had not much earth, and *anon it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: and when the *sun was up it caught heat, and for lack of rooting withered away. Some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked it. Part fell in good ground, and brought forth good fruit: some an hundred fold, some sixty fold, some thirty fold. Whosoever hath ears to hear, let him hear.
And the disciples came and said to him: Why speakest thou to them in parables? He answered and said unto them, it is given unto you to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
For whosoever hath to him shall be given: and he shall have abundance. But whosoever hath not: from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in similitudes: for though they see, they see not: and hearing they hear not: nether understand. And in them is fulfilled the Prophecy of Esaias, which prophecy saith: with the ears ye shall hear and shall not understand, and with the eyes ye shall see, and shall not perceive. For this peoples hearts are waxed gross, and their ears were dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their hearts, and should turn, that I might heal them.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. Verily I say unto you, that many prophets, and perfect men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them: and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. Hear ye therefore the similitude of the sower. Whosoever heareth the word of the kingdom and understandeth it not, there cometh the evil man and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. And this is he which was sown by the way side. But he that was sown in the stony ground, is he which heareth the word of God, and *anon with joy receiveth it, yet hath no roots in himself, and therefore *dureth but a season: for as soon as tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he falleth. He that was sown among thorns, is he that heareth the word of God: but the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and so is he made unfruitful. He which is sown in the good ground is he that heareth the word and understandeth it: which also beareth fruit and bringeth forth, some hundred fold, some sixty fold, and some thirty fold.
Another similitude put he forth unto them saying: The kingdom is like unto a man which sowed good seed in his field. But while men slept there came his foe and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. When the blade was sprung up and had brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. Then came the servants to the householder, and said unto him: Sir sowest thou good seed in thy *close, from whence then hath it tares? He said to them: the envious man hath done this. Then the servants said unto him: wilt thou then that we go and weed them out? But he said, nay, lest while ye go about to weed out the tares, ye pluck up also with them the wheat by the roots: let both grow together till harvest come, and in time of harvest, I will say to the reapers, gather ye first the tares, and bind them in sheaves to be burnt: but gather the wheat into my barn.
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.
Another similitude said he to them. The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven which a woman taketh and hideth in three pecks of meal, till all be leavened.
All these things spake Jesus unto the people by similitudes, and with out similitudes spake he nothing to them, to fulfil that which was spoken by the Prophet saying: I will open my mouth in similitudes, and will speak forth things which have been kept secret from the beginning of the world.
Then sent Jesus the people away, and came home. And his disciples came unto him, saying: declare unto us the similitude of the tares in the field. Then answered he and said to them. He that soweth the good seed, is the son of man. And the field is the world. And the children of the kingdom, they are the good seed. And the tares are the children of the wicked. And the enemy that soweth them, is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers be the Angels. For even as the tares are gathered and burnt in the fire: so shall it be in the end of this world. The son of man shall send forth his Angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity, and shall cast them into a furnace of fire. There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the just men shine as bright as the *son in the kingdom of their father. Whosoever hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Again the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in the field, which a man findeth and hideth: and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Again the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant that seeketh good pearls, which when he had found one precious pearl, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Again the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net cast into the sea, that gathereth of all kinds of fishes: which when it is full, men draw to land, and sit and gather the good into vessels, and cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world. The Angels shall come out and sever the bad from the good, and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Jesus said unto them: Understand ye all these things? They said, ye Lord. Then said he unto them: Therefore every Scribe which is taught unto the kingdom of heaven is like an householder, which bringeth forth, out of his treasure, things both new and old.
And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these similitudes, that he departed thence, and came in to his own country, and taught them in their synagogues, in so much that they were astonied and said: whence cometh all this wisdom and power unto him? Is not this the carpenters son? Is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren be called James and Joses and Simon and Judas? And are not his sisters all here with us? Whence hath he all these things. And they were offended by him. Then Jesus said to them, a Prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and among his own kin. And he did not many miracles there, for their unbeliefs sake*sun: spelled sunne (compare below). *anon (right away soon ) *dureth (endureth)
*close: to bring in the sides, as when covering seed. *son: exactly as it appears in the text, sonne, know that sun found above was written as sunne.THE GOSPELL OF ST. MARK Chpt 6
And he departed thence, and came into his own country, and his disciples followed him. And when the Saboth day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many that heard him were astonished, and said: From whence hath he these things? and what wisdom is this that is given unto him: and such virtues that are wrought by his hands? Is not this that carpenter Marys son, the brother of James and Joses and of Juda and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended by him. And Jesus said unto them: a Prophet is not despised but in his own country, and among his own kin, and among them that are of the same household. And he could there show no miracles, but laid his hands upon a few sick folk and healed them and he marvelled at their unbelief.
And he went about by the towns that lay on every side, teaching. And he called the twelve, and began to send them two and two, and gave them power over unclean spirits. And commanded them, that they should take nothing unto their journey, save a rod only, neither scrip, neither bread, neither money in their purses, but should be shod with sandals. And that they should not put on two coats. And he said unto them: wheresoever ye enter in to an house, there abide till ye depart thence. And whosoever shall not receive you nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet, for a witness unto them. I say verily unto you, it shall be easier for Sodom and Gomor at the day of judgement, than for that city. And they went out and preached, that they should repent: and they cast out many devils. And they anointed many that were sick with oil, and healed them.
And king Herode heard of him (for his name was spread abroad) and said: John Baptist is risen again from death, and therefore miracles are wrought by him. Other said, it is *Helias: and some said: it is a Prophet or as one of the Prophets. But when Herode heard of him, he said: it is John whom I beheaded, he is risen from death again. For Herode himself had sent forth and had taken John, and bound him and cast him into prison for Herodias sake which was his brother Philips wife. For he had married her. John said unto Herode: It is not lawful for thee to have thy brothers wife. Herodias laid wait for him, and would have killed him, but she could not. For Herode feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy: and gave him reverence: and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
But when a convenient day was come: Herode on his birthday made a supper to the lords, captains, and chief estates of Galile. And the daughter of the said Herodias came in and danced, and pleased Herode and them that sat at board also. Then the king said unto the maiden: ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee. And he sware unto her, whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, even unto the one half of my kingdom. And she went forth and said to her mother: what shall I ask? And she said: John Baptists head. And she came in straight way with haste unto the king, and asked saying: I will: that thou give me by and by in a *charger the head of John Baptist. And the king was sorry: how be it for his oaths sake, and for their sakes which sat at supper also, he would not put her beside her purpose. And immediately the king sent the hangman and commanded his head to be brought in. And he went and beheaded him in the prison and brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the maiden and the maiden gave it to her mother. And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his body, and put it in a tomb.
And the Apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. And he said unto them: come ye apart into the wilderness, and rest awhile. For there were many comers and goers, that they had no leisure so much as to eat. And he went by ship out of the way into a desert place. But the people spied them when they departed: and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and came thither before them, and came together unto him. And Jesus went out and saw much people, and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep which had no shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.
And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him saying: this is a desert place, and now the day is far passed, let them depart, that they may go into the country round about, and into the towns, and buy them bread: for they have nothing to eat. He answered and said unto them: give ye them to eat. And they said unto him: shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? He said unto them: how many loaves have ye? Go and look. And when they had searched, they said: five and two fishes. And he commanded them to make them all sit down by companies upon the green grass. And they sat down here a row and there a row, by hundreds and by fifties. And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven and blessed and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to put before them: and the fishes he divided among them all. And they all did eat, and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the *gobbets and of the fishes. And they that ate were about five thousand men.
And straight way he caused his disciples to go into the ship, and to go over the water before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people. And as soon as he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.
And when evening was come the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land, and he saw them troubled in rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them. And about the fourth quarter of the night, he came unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them. When they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out: For they all saw him, and were afraid. And *anon he talked with them and said unto them: be of good cheer, it is I, be not afraid. And he went up unto them into the ship, and the wind ceased, and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marvelled. For they remembered not, of the loaves, because their hearts were blinded.
And they came over, and went into the land of Genezareth, and drew up into the haven. And as soon as they were come out of the ship, straight they knew him, and ran forth through out all the region round about, and began to carry about in beds all that were sick, to the place where they heard tell that he was. And whither soever he entered into towns, cities or villages, they laid their sick in the streets, and prayed him that they might touch, and it were but the edge of his vesture. And as many as touched him were safe*charger (platter, dish) *Helias (Elias). *gobbets (pieces). *anon (shortly)
