And it was
at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter: and Jesus walked in
Solomons porch. Then came the Jewes round about him, and said unto him: How long
dost thou make us doubt? If thou be Christ, tell us plainly. Jesus answered
them: I told you and ye believe not. The works that I do in my fathers name,
they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep. As
I said unto you: my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me,
and I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall
any man pluck them out of my hand. My father which gave them me, is greater then
all and no man is able to take them out of my fathers hand. And I and my
father are one.
Then the Jewes again took up stones, to
stone him with all. Jesus answered them: many good works have I showed you from
my father: for which of them will ye stone me? The Jewes answered him saying.
For thy good works sake we stone thee not: but for thy blasphemy, and because
that thou being a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them: Is it not
written in your law: I say, ye are Gods? If he called them Gods unto whom the
word of God was spoken (and the scripture cannot be broken) say ye then to him,
whom the father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, thou blasphemest,
because I said I am the son of God? If I do not the works of my father, believe
me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, yet believe the works, that ye
may know and believe that the father is in me, and I in him.
Again they went about to take him: but he
escaped out of their hands, and went away again beyond Jordan, into the place
where John before had baptised, and there abode. And many resorted unto him, and
said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man, are true.
And many believed on him there

Philip said unto
him: Lord show us the father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus said unto him, have I
been so long time with you: and yet hast thou not known me? Philip, he that hath
seen me, hath seen the father. And how sayest thou then: show us the father?
Believest thou not that *I am in the father, and the father in me? The words
that I speak unto you, I speak not of myself: but the father that dwelleth in
me, is he that doeth the works. Believe me, **that I am in the father and the
father in me. At the least believe me for the very works sake.
Verily, verily I say unto you, he that
believeth on me, the works that I do, the same shall he do, and greater works
then these shall he do, because I go unto my father. And whatsoever ye ask in my
name, that will I do, that the father might be glorified by the son. If ye shall
ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
If ye love me keep my commandments, and I
will pray the father, and he shall give you another comforter, that he may bide
with you ever: which is the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive,
because the world seeth him not, neither knoweth him. But ye know him. For he
dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: but
will come to you.
Yet a little while and the world seeth me no
more: but ye shall see me. For I live and ye shall live. That day shall ye
know that I am in my father, and you in me, and I in you.

THE GOSPELL OF ST. JOHN Chpt 8
And Jesus went unto mount olivet, and early in the morning came again into
the temple and all the people came unto him, and he sat down and taught them.
And the Scribes and the Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in *advoutry,
and set her in the midst and said unto him: Master, this woman was taken in *advoutry,
even as the deed was a doing. Moses in the law commanded us that such should be
stoned. What sayest thou therefore? And this they said to tempt him: that they
might have, whereof to accuse him. Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote
on the ground. And while they continued asking him, he lifted himself up, and
said unto them: let him that is among you without sin, cast the first stone at
her. And again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. And as soon as they
heard that, they went out one by one, the eldest first. And Jesus was left
alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
When Jesus had lifted up himself again, and
saw no man, but the woman, he said unto her: Woman where are those thine
accusers? Hath no man condemned thee? She said: No man Lord. And Jesus said:
Neither do I condemn thee.
Go, and sin no more.
Then spake Jesus again unto them saying: I
am the light of the world. He that followeth me, shall not walk in darkness: but
shall have the light of life. The Pharisees said unto him: Thou bearest record
of thy self, thy record is not true. Jesus answered and said unto them: Though I
bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came and
whither I go. But ye cannot tell whence I come and whither I go. Ye judge after
the flesh, I judge no man. And if I judge, my judgement is true. For I am not
alone: but I and the father that sent me. It is also written in your law, that
the testimony of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the
father that sent me, beareth witness of me. Then said they unto him: where is
thy father? Jesus answered: ye neither know me, nor yet my father. If ye had
known me, ye should have known my father also. These words spake Jesus in the
treasury, as he taught in the temple, and no man laid hands on him, for his time
was not yet come.
Then said Jesus again unto them: I go my
way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins. Whither I go, thither can
ye not come. Then said the Jewes: will he kill himself, because he saith:
whither I go, thither can ye not come? And he said unto them: ye are from
beneath, I am from above. Ye are of this world, I am not of this world. I said
therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins. For except ye believe that I
am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Then said they unto him, who art thou?
And Jesus said unto them: Even the very same thing that I say unto you. I have
many things to say, and to judge of you. Ye and he that sent me is true. And I
speak in the world, those things which I have heard of him. How be it they
understood not that he spake of his father. Then said Jesus unto them: when ye
have lift up on high the son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and
that i do nothing of myself: but as my father hath taught me, even so I speak:
and he that sent me, is with me. The father hath not left me alone, for I do
always those things that please him.
As he spake these words, many believed on
him.
Then said Jesus to those Jewes which
believed on him. If ye continue in my words, then are ye my very disciples, and
shall know the truth: and the truth shall make you free. They answered him: We
be Abrahams seed, and were never bond to any man: why sayest thou then, ye shall
be made free?
Jesus answered them: Verily, verily I say
unto you, that whosoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin. And the servant
abideth not in the house for ever: But the son abideth ever. If the son
therefore shall make you free, then are ye free indeed. I know that ye are
Abrahams seed: but ye seek means to kill me, because my sayings have no place in
you. I speak that I have seen with my father: and ye do that which ye have seen
with your father. They answered and said unto him: Abraham is our father. Jesus
said unto them. If ye were Abrahams children ye would do the deeds of Abraham.
But now ye go about to kill me, a man that have told you the truth which I have
heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said
they unto him: we were not born of fornication. We have one father, which is
God. Jesus said unto them: if God were your father, then would ye love me. For I
proceeded forth and come from God. Neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why
do ye not know my speech? Even because ye cannot abide the hearing of my words.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the
lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode
not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, then
speaketh he of his own. For he is a liar, and the father thereof. And because I
tell you the truth, therefore ye believe me not.
Which of you can rebuke me of sin? If I say
the truth, why do not ye believe me? He that is of God, heareth Gods words. Ye
therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. Then answered the Jewes and
said unto him: Say we not well that thou art a Samaritane and hast the devil?
Jesus answered: I have not the devil: but I honour my father, and ye have
dishonored me. I seek not mine own praise: but there is one that seeketh and
judgeth.
Verily, verily I say unto you, if a man keep
my sayings, he shall never see death. Then said the Jewes to him. Now know we
that thou hast the devil. Abraham is dead, and also the Prophets: and yet thou
sayest, if a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. Art thou greater
then our father Abraham, which is dead? and the Prophets are dead. Whom makest
thou thyself?
Jesus answered: If I honour my self, mine
honour is nothing worth. It is my father that honoureth me, which ye say, is
your God, and ye have not known him: but I know him. And if I should say, I know
him not, I should be a liar like unto you. But I know him, and keep his saying.
Your father Abraham was glad to see my day,
and he saw it and rejoiced. Then said the Jewes unto him: thou art not yet fifty
years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them: Verily, verily I
say unto you: *yer Abraham was, I am. Then took they up stones, to cast at him.
But Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple
*advoutry: prefix "a" meaning not or without, devout: devotion; plain hearted to God, being devoted to something or some one else .in this case devoted to the flesh. see James 2 for adultery. *yer (before)
THE GOSPELL OF ST. JOHN Chpt 10
Verily, verily I say unto you: he that entereth not in by the door,
into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way: the same is a thief and a
robber. He that goeth in by the door, is the shepherd of the sheep: to him the
porter openeth, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calleth his own sheep by
name, and leadeth them out. And when he hath sent forth his own sheep, he goeth
before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. A stranger they
will not follow, but will fly from him: for they know not the voice of
strangers. This similitude spake Jesus unto them. But they understood not what
things they were which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again.
Verily, verily I say unto you: I am the door of the sheep. All, even as many as
came before me, are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am
the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be safe, and shall go in and out
and find pasture. The thief cometh not but for to steal, kill and destroy. I am
come that they might have life, and have it more abundantly.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd
giveth his life for the sheep. An hired servant, which is not the shepherd,
neither the sheep are his own, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and
flyeth, and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hired servant
flyeth, because he is an hired servant, and careth not for the sheep. I am that
good shepherd, and know mine, and am known of mine. As my father knoweth me:
even so know I my father. And I give my life for the sheep: and other sheep I
have, which are not of this fold. Them also must I bring, that they may hear my
voice, and that there may be one flock and one shepherd.
Therefore doth my father love me, because
I put my life from me, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me:
but I put it away of myself. I have power to put it from me, and have power to
take it again: This commandment have I received of my father. And there was a
dissension again among the Jewes for these sayings, and many of them said. He
hath the devil, and is mad: why hear ye him? Other said, these are not the words
of him that hath the devil. Can the devil open the eyes of the blind?
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the
dedication, and it was winter: and Jesus walked in Solomons porch. Then came the
Jewes round about him, and said unto him: How long dost thou make us doubt? If
thou be Christ, tell us plainly. Jesus answered them: I told you and ye believe
not. The works that i do in my fathers name, they bear witness of me. But ye
believe not, because ye are not of my sheep. As I said unto you: my sheep
hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me, and I give unto them eternal
life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my
hand. My father which gave them me, is greater then all and no man is able to
take them out of my fathers hand. And I and my father are one.
Then the Jewes again took up stones, to
stone him with all. Jesus answered them: many good works have I showed you from
my father: for which of them will ye stone me? The Jewes answered him saying.
For thy good works sake we stone thee not: but for thy blasphemy, and because
that thou being a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them: Is it not
written in your law: I say, ye are Gods? If he called them Gods unto whom the
word of God was spoken (and the scripture cannot be broken) say ye then to him,
whom the father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, thou blasphemest,
because I said I am the son of God? If I do not the works of my father, believe
me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, yet believe the works, that ye
may know and believe that the father is in me, and I in him.
Again they went about to take him: but he
escaped out of their hands, and went away again beyond Jordan, into the place
where John before had baptised, and there abode. And many resorted unto him, and
said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man, are true.
And many believed on him there
THE GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 9
Then came the Disciples of John to him saying: why do we and the Pharisees
fast oft: but thy Disciples fast not? And Jesus said unto them: Can the wedding
children mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The time will come when
the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast. No man
pieceth an old garment with a piece of new cloth. For then taketh he away the
piece again from the garment, and the rent is made greater. Neither do men
put new wine into old vessels, for then the vessels break, and the wine runneth
out, and the vessels perish. But they pour new wine into new vessels, and so are
both saved together.
While he thus spake unto them, behold there
came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying: my daughter is even now
deceased, but come and lay thy hand on her, and she shall live. And Jesus arose
and followed him with his disciples. And behold a woman which was diseased with
an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him and touched the hem of his
vesture. For she said in herself: if I may touch but even his vesture only, I
shall be safe. Then Jesus turned him about, and beheld her saying: Daughter be
of good comfort, thy faith hath made thee safe. And she was made whole even that
same hour.
And when Jesus came into the rulers house,
and saw the minstrels and the people raging, he said unto them: Get you hence,
for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. As soon
as the people were put forth, he went in and took her by the hand, and the maid
arose. And this was noised throughout all that land.
THE GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 13
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
THE GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 25
Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened unto ten virgins, which took
their lamps, and went to meet the bridegroom: five of them were foolish, and
five were wise. The foolish took their lamps, but took none oil with them. But
the wise took oil with them in their vessels with their lamps also. While
the bridegroom tarried, all slumbered and slept. And even at midnight, there was
a cry made: behold, the bridegroom cometh, go out against him. Then all those
virgins arose, and prepared their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise: give
us of your oil, for our lamps go out. But the wise answered saying: Not so, lest
there be not enough for us and you: but go rather to them that sell, and buy for
yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came: and they that were
ready, went in with him to the wedding, and the gate was shut up. Afterwards
came also the other virgins saying: Master, master, open to us. But he answered
and said: verily I say unto you: I know not you. Watch therefore: for ye know
neither the day nor yet the hour, when the son of man shall come.
Likewise as a certain man ready to take his
journey to a strange country, called his servants and delivered to them his
goods. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two and to another one: to
every man after his ability, and straight way departed. Then he that had
received the five talents, went and bestowed them, and won other five talents.
Likewise he that received two, gained other two. But he that received the one,
went and digged a pit in the earth, and hid his masters money. After a long
season the Lord of those servants came and reckoned with them. Then came he that
had received five talents, and brought other five talents saying: master, thou
deliveredst unto me five talents: behold I have gained with them five talents
more. Then his master said unto him: well good servant and faithful. Thou hast
been faithful in little, I will make thee ruler over much: enter in into thy
masters joy. Also he that received two talents, came and said: master, thou
deliveredest unto me two talents: behold, I have won two other talents with
them. And his master said unto him, well good servant and faithful. Thou hast
been faithful in little, I will make thee ruler over much, go in into thy
masters joy.
Then he which had received the one talent
came and said: master, I considered that thou wast an hard man, which reapest
where thou sowedst not, and gatherest where thou *strawedst not, and was
therefore afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: Behold, thou hast
thine own. His master answered and said unto him: thou evil servant and
slothful, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not and gather where I strawed
not: thou oughtest therefore to have had my money to the changers, and then at
my coming should I have received mine own with vantage. Take therefore the
talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. For unto every man
that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance, and from him that hath
not, shall be taken away, even that he hath. And cast that unprofitable servant
into utter darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
When the son of man cometh in his glory, and
all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his glory, and
before him shall be gathered all nations. And he shall separate them one from
another, as a shepherd divideth the sheep from the goats. And he shall set the
sheep on his right hand, and the goats on the left. Then shall the King say to
them on his right hand: Come ye blessed children of my father, inherit ye the
kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world. For I was an hungered,
and ye gave me meat. I thirsted, and ye gave me drink. I was harborless, and ye
lodged me. I was naked and ye clothed me. I was sick and ye visited me. I was in
prison and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him saying: master,
when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or a thirst, and gave thee drink?
when saw we thee harborless, and lodged thee? or naked and clothed thee? or when
saw we thee sick or in prison and came unto thee? And the king shall answer and
say unto them: Verily I say unto you: in as much as ye have done it unto one of
the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me.
Then shall the king say unto them that shall
be on the left hand: depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire: which is
prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no
meat. I thirsted, and ye gave me no drink. I was harborless, and ye lodged me
not. I was naked, and ye clothed me not. I was sick and in prison, and ye
visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him saying:
master, when saw we thee an hungered, or a thirst, or harborless, or naked, or
sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them
and say: Verily I say unto you, in as much as ye did it not to one of the least
of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go into everlasting pain: And
the righteous into life eternal
*strawedst (strewed)
THE GOSPELL OF ST. MARK Chpt 2
And the disciples of John and the Pharisees did fast: and therefore came and
said unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, and thy
disciples fast not? And Jesus said unto them: can the children of a wedding
fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom
with them, they cannot fast. But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be
taken from them and then shall they fast in those days.
Also no man soweth a piece of new cloth unto
an old garment, for then taketh he away the new piece from the old, and so is
the rent worse. In like wise, no man poureth new wine into old vessels: for
if he do, the new wine breaketh the vessels, and the wine runneth out, and the
vessels are marred. But new wine must be poured into new vessels.
And it chanced that he went through the corn
fields on the Sabboth day: and his disciples as they went in their way, began to
pluck the ears of corn. And the Pharisees said unto him: behold, why do they on
the Sabboth days that which is not lawful? And he said to them: have ye never
read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungered both he and they that
were with him? How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the
high Priest, and did eat the hallowed loaves, which is not lawful to eat, but
for the Priests only: and gave also to them which were with him? And he said to
them the Sabboth day was made for man, and not man for the Saboth. Wherefore the
son of man is Lord even of the Sabboth day
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:

*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

And they came to Jerusalem. And Jesus went into the temple, and
began to cast out the sellers and buyers in the temple, and overthrew the tables
of the money changers, and the stools of them that sold doves: and would not
suffer that any man carried a vessel through the temple. And he taught
saying unto them, is it not written: my house shall be called the house of
prayer unto all nations? But ye have made it a den of thieves.
And the Scribes and high priests heard it
and sought how to destroy him. For they feared him, because all the people
marvelled at his doctrine. And when evening was come, he went out of the city.
And in the morning as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up by the
roots. And Peter remembered, and said unto him: master, behold, the fig tree
which thou cursedst, is withered away. And Jesus answered, and said unto them:
Have confidence in God. Verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto
this mountain: take away thyself, and cast thyself in to the sea and shall not
waver in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he sayeth shall
come to pass, whatsoever he sayeth, shall be done to him. Therefore I say unto
you, whatsoever ye desire when ye pray, believe that ye shall have it, and it
shall be done unto you. And when ye stand and pray, forgive, if ye have anything
against any man: that your father also which is in heaven, may forgive you your
trespasses.
And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he
walked in the temple, there came to him the high Priests, and the Scribes, and
the elders, and said unto him: by what authority doest thou these things? and
who gave thee this authority, to do these things? Jesus answered and said
unto them: I will also ask of you a certain thing and answer ye me, and I will
tell you by what authority I do these things. The baptism of John, was it
from heaven or of men? Answer me. And they thought in themselves saying: if we
shall say from heaven: he will say why then did ye not believe him? but if we
shall say, of men: then fear we the people. For all men counted John, that he
was a very Prophet. And they answered and said unto Jesu: we cannot tell. And
Jesus answered, and said unto them: neither will I tell you by what authority I
do these things
THE GOSPELL OF ST. LUKE Chpt 5
And after that he went forth and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the
receipt of custom, and said unto him: follow me. And he left all, rose up, and
followed him. And that same Levi made him a great feast at home in his own
house. And there was a great company of publicans and of other that sat at meat
with him. And the Scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples saying:
Why eat ye and drink ye with publicans and sinners? Jesus answered and said unto
them: They that are whole need not of the physician: but they that are sick. I
came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Then they said unto him: Why do the
disciples of John fast often and pray, and the disciples of the Pharisees also:
and thine eat and drink? And he said unto them: Can ye make the children of the
wedding fast, as long as the bridegroom is present with them? The days will
come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them: then shall they fast in
those days.
Then he spake unto them in a similitude: No
man putteth a piece of a new garment, into an old vesture: for if he do: then
breaketh he the new, and the piece that was taken out of the new, agreeth not
with the old. Also, no man poureth new wine into old vessels. For if he do,
the new wine breaketh the vessels, and runneth out it self, and the vessels
perish: But new wine must be poured into new vessels, and both are preserved.
Also, no man that drinketh old wine, straight way can away with new, for he
sayeth the old is pleasanter
THE GOSPELL OF ST. LUKE Chpt 8
And it fortuned after that, that he himself went throughout cities and towns,
preaching, and showing the kingdom of God, and the twelve with him. And also
certain women, which were healed of evil spirits, and infirmities: Mary called
Magdalen, out of whom went seven devils, and Joanna the wife of Chuza Herods
steward, and Susanna and many other: which ministered unto them of their
substance. When much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of
all cities, he spake by a similitude. A sower went out to sow his seed: and as
he sowed, some fell by the way side, and it was trodden under feet, and the
fowls of the air devoured it up. And some fell on stone, and as soon as it was
sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moistness. And some fell among
thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. And some fell on good
ground and sprang up, and bare fruit, an hundred fold. And as he said these
things, he cried: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
And his disciples asked him saying: what
manner similitude is this? And he said: unto you is it given to know the secrets
of the kingdom of God: but to other in similitudes, that when they see, they
should not see, and when they hear they should not understand.
The similitude is this. The seed is the
word of God. Those that are beside the way, are they that hear, and
afterward cometh the devil and taketh away the word out of their hearts lest
they should believe and be saved. They on the stones, are they which when they
hear, receive the word with joy. But these have no roots, which for a while
believe, and in time of temptation go away. And that which fell among thorns,
are they which hear, and go forth, and are choked with cares and with riches,
and voluptuous living, and bring forth no fruit. That in the good ground, are
they which with a good and pure heart, hear the word and keep it and bring forth
fruit with patience.
No man lighteth a candle, and covereth it
under a vessel, neither putteth it under the table, but setteth it on a
candlestick, that they that enter in, may see the light. Nothing is in secret
that shall not come abroad: Neither any thing hid, that shall not be known, and
come to light. Take heed therefore how ye hear. For whosoever hath, to him shall
be given: And whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken, even that same which
he supposeth that he hath.
Then came to him his mother and his
brethren, and could not come at him for press. And they told him saying: Thy
mother and thy brethren stand without, and would see thee. He answered and said
unto them: my mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God and do
it.
And it chanced on a certain day that he went
into a ship and his disciples also, and he said unto them: Let us go over unto
the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. And as they sailed, he fell
asleep, and there arose a storm of wind in the lake, and they were filled with
water, and were in jeopardy. And they went to him and awoke him saying: Master,
Master, we are lost. Then he arose and rebuked the wind and the tempest of
water, and they ceased, and it waxed calm. And he said unto them: where is your
faith? They feared and wondered saying one to another: what fellow is this? for
he commandeth both the winds and water, and they obey him? And they sailed unto
the region of the Gaderenites, which is over against Galile.
And as he went out to land, there met him a
certain man out of the city, which had a devil long time, and ware no clothes,
neither abode in any house: but among graves. When he saw Jesus, he cried, and
fell down before him, and with a loud voice said: What have I to do with thee
Jesus the son of the God most highest? I beseech thee torment me not. Then he
commanded the foul spirit to come out of the man. For often times he caught him,
and he was bound with chains, and kept with fetters: and he brake the bonds, and
was carried of the fiend, into wilderness.
And Jesus asked him saying: what is thy
name? And he said: Legion, because many devils were entered into him. And they
besought him, that he would not command them to go out into the deep. And there
was there by an herd of many swine, feeding on an hill and besought him, that he
would suffer them to enter into them. And he *suffered them. Then went the
devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: And the herd took their
course and ran headlong into the lake, and were choked. When the herdsmen saw
what had chanced, they fled and told it in the city and in the villages.
And they came out to see what was done: and
came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting
at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. They
also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devil,
was healed. And all the whole multitude of the country of the Gaderenites,
besought him that he would depart from them: for they were taken with great
fear. And he gat him into the ship and returned back again. Then the man out of
whom the devils were departed, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus
sent him away saying. Go home again into thine own house, and show what great
things God hath done to thee. And he went his way, and preached throughout all
the city what great things Jesus had done unto him.
And it fortuned when Jesus was come again
that the people received him. For they all waited for him: And behold there came
a man named Jairus (and he was a ruler of the synagogue) and he fell down at
Jesus feet, and besought him that he would come into his house, for he had but a
daughter only, upon a twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. And as he went
the people thronged him.
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve
years (which had spent all her substance among Physicians, neither could be
helped of any) came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment, and
immediately her issue of blood *staunched. And Jesus said: Who is it that
touched me? when every man denied, Peter and they that were with him, said:
Master, the people thrust thee and vex thee: and sayest thou who touched me? And
Jesus said: Somebody touched me. For I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
When the woman saw, that she was not hid, she came trembling, and fell at his
feet, and told him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and
how she was healed immediately. And he said unto her: Daughter be of good
comfort. Thy faith hath made the whole, go in peace.
While he yet spake, there came one from the
rulers of the synagogues house which said to him: thy daughter is dead, disease
not the master. When Jesus heard that, He answered the father, saying: Fear not,
believe only, and she shall be made whole. And when he came to the house he
suffered no man to go in with him, save Peter, James and John, and the father
and the mother of the maiden. Everybody wept and sorrowed for her. And he said:
Weep not: for she is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. For
they knew that she was dead. And he thrust them all out, and caught her by the
hand: and cried saying: Maid arise. And her spirit came again, and she rose
straight way. And he commanded to give her meat. And the father and the mother
of her were astonied. But he warned them that they should tell no man, what was
done
*suffered (allowed) *staunch: steadfast faith, staunched: to stop

Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him. And the soldiers wound a crown of
thorns and put it on his head. And they did on him a purple garment, and said:
hail king of the Jewes: and they smote him on the face. Pilate went forth again
and said unto them: behold I bring him forth to you, that ye may know, that I
find no fault in him. Then came Jesus forth wearing a crown of thorns and a robe
of purple. And Pilate said unto them: behold the man. When the high Priests and
ministers saw him, they cried saying: crucify him, crucify him. Pilate said unto
them. Take ye him and crucify him: for I find no cause in him. The Jewes
answered him. We have a law, and by our law he ought to die: because he made
himself the son of God. When Pilate heard that saying he was the more afraid,
and went again into the judgement hall, and said unto Jesus: whence art thou?
But Jesus gave him none answer. Then said Pilate unto him: Speakest thou not
unto me? Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to
loose thee? Jesus answered: Thou couldest have no power at all against me,
except it were given thee from above. Therefore he that delivered me unto thee,
is more in sin. And from thenceforth sought Pilate means to loose him: but the
Jewes cried saying: if thou let him go thou art not Casars friend. For whosoever
maketh himself a king is against Caesar.
When Pilate heard that saying, he brought
Jesus forth, and sat down to give sentence, in a place called the pavement: but
in the Hebrew tongue, Gabbatha. It was the Saboth even which falleth in the
*ester feast, and about the sixth hour. And he said unto the Jewes: behold your
king. They cried, away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate said unto
them shall I crucify your king? The high priests answered: we have no king but
Casar. Then delivered he him unto them, to be crucified.
And they took Jesus, and led him away. And
he bare his cross, and went forth into a place called the place of dead mens
skulls, which is named in Hebrew, Golgotha. Where they crucified him, and two
other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote his
title, and put it on the cross. The writing was: Jesus of Nazareth king of the
Jewes. This title read many of the Jewes. For the place where Jesus was
crucified, was nigh to the city. And it was written in Hebrew, Greek and Latin.
Then said the high priests of the Jewes to Pilate: write not king of the Jewes,
but that he said I am king of the Jewes. Pilate answered: what I have written,
that have I written.
Then the soldiers, when they had crucified
Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and also
his coat. The coat was without seam, wrought upon throughout. And they said one
to another. Let us not divide it, but cast lots who shall have it. That the
scripture might be fulfilled which saith. They parted my raiment among them, and
on my coat did cast lots. And the soldiers did such things indeed.
There stood by the cross of Jesus his
mother, and his mothers sister Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple standing whom he loved, he said unto
his mother: woman behold thy son. Then said he to the disciple: behold thy
mother. And from that hour the disciple took her for his own.
After that when Jesus perceived that all
things were performed: that the scripture might be fulfilled: he said: I thirst.
There stood a vessel full of vinegar by. And they filled a sponge with
vinegar, and wound it about with hyssop, and put it to his mouth. As soon as
Jesus had received of the vinegar, he said: It is finished, and bowed his head,
and gave up the ghost. The Jewes then because it was the Saboth evening, that
the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Saboth day (for that Saboth
day was an high day) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that
they might be taken down. Then came the soldiers and brake the legs of the
first, and of the other which was crucified with Jesus. But when they came to
Jesus, and saw that he was dead already they brake not his legs: but one of the
soldiers with a spear, thrust him into the side, and forthwith came there out
blood and water.
And he that saw it, bare record, and his
record is true. And he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe also.
These things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled. Ye shall not
break a bone of him. And again another scripture saith: They shall look on him,
whom they pierced. After that, Joseph of Arimathia (which was a disciple of
Jesus: but secretly for fear of the Jewes) besought Pilate that he might take
down the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave him license. And there came also
Nicodemus which at the beginning came to Jesus by night, and brought of myrrh
and aloes mingled together about an hundred pound weight. Then took they the
body of Jesus and wound it in linen clothes with the odors, as the manner of the
Jewes is to bury. And in the place where Jesus was crucified, was a garden, and
in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man laid. There laid they Jesus
because of the Jewes Saboth even, for the sepulchre was nigh at hand
*ester: exact spelling, maybe the feast of sweet bread
Be of good
cheer my people, be of good cheer, ( saith your God ) Comfort Jerusalem, and
tell her, that her travail is at an end, that her offense is pardoned, that she
hath received of the Lords hand sufficient correction for all her sins. A voice
crieth: Prepared the way *for the Lord in the wilderness, make straight the path
for our God in the desert. Let all valleys be exalted, and every mountain and
hill layed low. What so is crooked, let it be made straight, and let the rough
places be made plain fields. For the glory of God shall appear, and all flesh
shall see it. For why? The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
The same voice spake: Now cry. And I said:
What shall I cry? Then spake it: That all flesh is grass, and that all the
beauty thereof, is as the flower of the field. When the grass withereth, the
flower faileth away. Even so is, the people as grass, when the *breath of the
Lord bloweth upon *them. Nevertheless, whether the grass wither, or the flower
fade away: Yet the word of our God endureth forever. Moreover the voice cried
thus: Go up unto the hill ( O Sion ) thou that bringest good tidings, lift up
thy voice with power, O thou preacher Jerusalem. Lift it up without fear, and
say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God, behold the Lord, even the
Allmighty shall come with power, and beare rule with his arm. Behold, he
bringeth his treasure with him, and his works go before him. He shall gather the
lambs together with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall kindly
entreat those that beare young.
Who hath holden the waters in his fist? Who
hath measured heaven with his span, and hath comprehended all the earth of the
world in three fingers? Who hath weighed the mountains and the hills? Who hath
reformed the mind of the Lord? Or who is of his counsel to teach him? At whom
hath he asked counsel, to make him understand, and to learn him the way of
judgement: to teach him science: and to instruct him in the way of
understanding. Behold, all people are in comparison of him, as a drop to a
bucket full, and are counted as the least thing that the balance weigheth.
Behold, the Isles are in comparison of him, as the shadow of the *son beam.
Libanus is not sufficient to minister fire for his offering, and all the beasts
thereof are not enough to one sacrifice. All people in comparison of him are
reckoned as nothing, yee vain vanity and emptiness.
To whom then will ye liken God? or what
similitude will ye set up unto him? Shall the carver make him a carved image?
and shall the goldsmith cover him with gold, or cast him into a form of silver
plates? Moreover shall the image maker ( that the poor man which is disposed,
may have something to set up also ) seek out and choose a tree, that is not
rotten, and carve thereout an image, that moveth not? Know ye not this ? Heard
ye never of it ? Hath it not been preached unto you since the beginning? Have ye
not been enformed of this since the foundation of the earth was layed: That he
sitteth upon the circle of the world, and all the inhabitors of the world are in
comparison of him, but as grasshoppers: That he spreadeth out the heavens as a
*covering that he stretcheth them out, as a tent to dwell in: That he bringeth
Princes to nothing, and the judges of the earth to dust: so that they be not
planted, nor sown again, neither their stock rooted again in the earth? For as
soon as he bloweth upon them, they wither and fade away like the straw in a
whirlwind.
To whom now will ye liken me, and whom shall
I be like, sayeth the holy one? Lift up your eyes on high, and consider. Who
hath made those things, which come out by so great heaps? and he can call them
all by their names. For there is nothing hid unto the greatness of his power,
strength, and might. Now then may Jacob think, or how may Israel say: My ways
are hid from the Lord, and my God knoweth not my judgments. Knowest thou not, or
hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, which made all the
corners of the earth, is neither weary nor faint: and that his wisdom can not be
comprehended? but that he giveth strength to the weary, and power to the faint,
and the strongest men fall: But unto them that have the Lord before their eyes,
shall strength be increased, Eagles wings shall grow upon them: When
they run, they shall not fall: and when they go,
they shall not be weary

That, first tabernacle verily had ordinances, and servings of God, and
worldly holiness. For there was a fore tabernacle made, wherein was the
candlestick and the table, and the show bread, which is called holy. But within
the second veil was there a tabernacle, which is called holiest of all, which
had the golden censer, and the ark of the testament overlaid round about with
gold, wherein was the golden pot with Manna, and Aarons rod that sprung and the
tables of the testament. Over the ark were the cherubims of glory shadowing the
seat of grace. Of which things, we will not now speak particularly.
When these things were thus ordained, the
Priests went all ways into the first tabernacle and executed the service of God.
But into the second went the high priest alone, once every year: and not without
blood, which he offered for him self, and for the ignorance of the people.
Wherewith the holy ghost this signifying that the way of holy things, was not
yet opened, while as yet the first tabernacle was standing. Which was a
similitude for the time then present, and in which were offered gifts and
sacrifices that could not make them that minister perfect, as pertaining to the
conscience, with only meats and drinks, and diverse washings and justifyings of
the flesh, which were ordained until the time of reformation.
But Christ being an high priest of good
things to come, came by a greater and a more perfect tabernacle, not made with
hands: that is to say, not of this manner building, neither by the blood of
goats and calves: but by his own blood he entered once for all into the holy
place, and found eternal redemption. For if the blood of oxen and of goats and
the ashes of an heifer, when it was sprinkled, purified the unclean, as touching
the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ (which
through the eternal spirit, offered him self without spot to God) purge your
consciences from dead works for to serve the living God?
And for this cause is he the mediator of the
new testament, that through death which chanced for the redemption of those
transgressions that were in the first testament, they which were called, might
receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For wheresoever is a testament,
there must also be the death of him that maketh the testament. For the testament
taketh authority when men are dead: For it is of no value as long as he that
made it, is alive. For which cause also, neither that first testament was
ordained without blood. For when all the commandments were read of Moses unto
all the people, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water and purple
wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, saying: this
is the blood of the testament which God hath appointed unto you. Moreover, he
sprinkled the tabernacle with blood also, and all the ministering vessels. And
almost all things, are by the law, purged with blood, and with out shedding of
blood is no remission.
It is then need that the similitudes of
heavenly things be purified with such things: but the heavenly things themselves
are purified with better sacrifices than are those. For Christ is not entered
into the holy places that are made with hands, which are but similitudes of true
things: but is entered into very heaven, for to appear now in the sight of God
for us: not to offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy
place every year with strange blood, for then must he have often suffered since
the world began. But now in the end of the world, hath he appeared once, to put
sin to flight, by the offering up of himself: And as it is appointed unto men
that they shall once die, and then cometh the judgment, even so Christ was once
offered to take away the sins of many, and unto them that look for him, shall he
appear again without sin, unto salvation

And unto the messenger of the congregation of Thiatira write: This sayth the
son of God, which has his eyes like unto a flame of fire, whose feet are like
brass: I know thy works and thy love, service, and faith, and thy patience, and
thy deeds, which are more at the last then at the first. Not withstanding I have
a few things against thee, that thou *sufferest that woman Jezabel, which called
herself a Prophetess, to teach and to deceive my servants, to make them commit
fornication, and to eat meats offered up unto idols. And I gave her space to
repent of her fornication and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a
bed, and them that commit fornication with her, into great adversity, except
they turn from their deeds. And I will kill her children with death. And all the
congregations shall know that I am he which searches the reins and hearts. And I
will give unto everyone of you according to your works.
Unto you I say, and unto others of them of
Thiatira, as many as have not this learning and which have not known the
deepness of *Sathan (as they say). I will put upon you none other burden, but
that which you have already. Hold fast until I come, and whosoever overcometh
and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over nations, and he
shall rule them with a rod of iron: and as the vessels of a potter, shall he
break them to shivers. Even as I received of my father, so will I give him the
morning star. Let him that has ears, hear what the spirit says to the
congregations

THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 18
And after that, I saw another Angel come from heaven, having great
power, and the earth was lightened with his brightness. And he cried mightily
with a strong voice saying: Great Babylon is fallen, is fallen: and is become
the habitation of devils, and the hold of all foul spirits, and a cage of all
unclean and hateful birds for all nations have drunken of the wine of the wrath
of her fornication. And the kings of the earth have committed fornication with
her, and her merchants are waxed rich of the abundance of her pleasures.
And I heard another voice from heaven, say:
come away from her my people, that ye be not partakers in her sins, that ye
receive not of her plagues. For her sins are gone up to heaven, and God hath
remembered her wickedness. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and give her
double according to her works. And pour in double to her in the same cup which
she filled unto you. And as much as she glorified herself and lived wantonly so
much pour ye in for her of punishment and sorrow, for she said in her heart: I
sit being a queen and am no widow and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her
plagues come at one day, death, and sorrow, and hunger, and she shall be burnt
with fire: for strong is the Lord God which judgeth her.
And the kings of the earth shall beweep her
and wail over her, which have committed fornication with her, and have lived
wantonly with her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, and shall stand
afar off, for fear of her punishment, saying . Alas, Alas, that great city
Babylon, that mighty city: for at one hour is her judgment come. And the
merchants of the earth shall weep and wail in themselves, for no man will
buy their ware any more, the ware of gold and silver, and precious stones,
neither of pearl, and raynes and purple, and scarlet, and all thine wood, and
all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and
of brass and of iron, and cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and
frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, beasts, and sheep,
and horses, and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.
And the apples that thy soul lusted after
are departed from thee. And all things which were dainty, and had in price are
departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more. The merchants of these
things which were waxed rich, shall stand afar off from her, for fear of the
punishment of her, weeping and wailing, and saying: Alas, alas, that great city,
that was clothed in raynes, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and
precious stone, and pearls: for at one hour so great riches is come to nought.
And every ship governor, and all they that
occupied ships, and shipmen which work in the sea, stood afar off, and cried,
when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying: what city is like unto this
great city? And they cast dust on their heads, and cried weeping, and wailing,
and said: Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships
in the sea, by the reason of her costliness, for at one hour is she made
desolate.
Rejoice over her thou heaven, and ye holy
Apostles and Prophets: for God hath given your judgement on her. And a mighty
angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying:
with such violence shall that great city Babylon be cast, and shall be found no
more. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters,
shall be heard no more in thee: and no crafts man, of whatsoever craft he be,
shall be found any more in thee. And the sound of a mill shall be heard no more
in thee, and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride, shall be heard no
more in thee, for thy merchants were the great men of the earth. And with
thine enchantment were deceived all nations: and in her was found the blood of
the Prophets, and of the saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth
and others of a similitude ...
