The Third Book of Moses 27 ...also called Leviticus if from the Latin And the Lord spake unto Moses saying: speak unto the Children of Israel and say unto them: If any man will give a singular vow unto the Lord according to the value of his soul, then shall the male from twenty years unto forty be set at fifty sickles of silver, after the sickle of the sanctuary, and the female at thirty sickles. And from five years to twenty the male shall be set at twenty sickles, and the female at ten sickles. And from a month unto five years, the male shall be set at five sickles of silver, and the female at three. And the man that is forty and above, shall be valued at fifteen sickles, and the woman at ten. If he be too poor so to be set, then let him come before the priest: and let the priest value him, according as the hand of him that vowed is able to get.
If it be of the beasts of which men bring an offering unto the Lord: all that any man giveth of such unto the Lord, shall be holy. He may not alter it nor change it: a good for a bad or a bad for good. If he change beast for beast, then both the same beast and it also wherewith it was changed shall be holy. If it be any manner of unclean beast of which men may not offer unto the Lord, let him bring the beast before the priest and let the priest value it. And whether it be good or bad as the priest setteth it, so shall it be. And if he will buy it again, let him give the fifth part more to that it was set at.
If any man dedicate his house, it shall be holy unto the Lord. And the priest shall set it, whether it be good or bad, and as the priest hath set it, so it shall be. If he that sanctified it will redeem his house, let him give the fifth part of the money that it was judged at thereto, and it shall be his.
If a man hallow a piece of his inherited land unto the Lord, it shall be set according to that it beareth. If it bear an homer of barley, it shall be set at fifty sickles of silver. If he hallow his field immediately from the year of jubilee, it shall be worth according as it is esteemed. But and if he hallow his field after the trumpet year, the priest shall reckon the price with him according to the years that remain unto the trumpet year, and thereafter it shall be lower set.
If he that sanctified the field will redeem it again, let him put the fifth part of the price that it was set at, thereunto, and it shall be his: if he will not it shall be redeemed no more. But when the field goeth out in the year of jubilee, it shall be holy unto the Lord: even as a thing dedicated, and it shall be the priests possession.
If a man sanctify unto the Lord a field, which he hath bought and is not of his inheritance, then the priest shall reckon with him what it is worth unto the year of jubilee, and he shall give the price that it is set at the same day, and it shall be holy unto the Lord. But in the year of jubilee, the field shall return unto him of whom he bought it, whose inheritance of land it was.
And all setting shall be according to the holy sickle. One sickle maketh twenty geras.
But the first born of the beasts that pertain unto the Lord, may no man sanctify: whether it be ox or sheep, for they are the Lords already. If it be an unclean beast, then let him redeem it as it is set at, and give the fifth part more thereto. If it be not redeemed, then let it be sold as it is rated.
Notwithstanding no dedicated thing that a man dedicateth unto the Lord, of all his goods, whether it be man or beast or land of his inheritance, shall be sold or redeemed: for all dedicate things are most holy unto the Lord. No dedicate thing therefore that is dedicate of man, may be redeemed, but must needs die.
All these tithes of the land, whether it be of the corn of the field or fruit of the trees, shall be holy unto the Lord. If any man will redeem ought of his tithes, let him add the fifth part more thereto. And the tithes of oxen and sheep and of all that goeth under the herdsmans keeping, shall be holy tithes unto the Lord. Men shall not look if it be good or bad nor shall change it. If any man change it then both it and that it was changed withall, shall be holy and may not be redeemed.
These are the commandments which the Lord gave Moses in charge to give unto the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
Gospel of St John 9 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him saying. Master, who did sin: this man or his father and mother, that he was born blind? Jesus answered: Neither hath this man sinned, nor yet his father and mother: but that the works of God should be showed on him. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day. The night cometh when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
As soon as he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind, and said unto him: Go wash thee in the pool of Siloe, which by interpretation, signifieth sent. He went his way and washed, and came again seeing. The neighbours and they that had seen him before how that he was a beggar, said: is not this he that sat and begged? Some said: this is he. Other said: he is like him.
But he himself said: I am even he. They said unto him: How are thine eyes opened then? He answered and said. The man that is called Jesus, made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me. Go to the pool Siloe and wash. I went and washed and received my sight. They said unto him: where is he? He said: I cannot tell.
Then brought they to the Pharisees, him that a little before was blind: for it was the Saboth day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them: He put clay upon mine eyes and I washed, and do see. Then said some of the Pharisees: this man is not of God, because he keepeth not the Saboth day. Other said: how can a man that is a sinner, do such miracles? And there was strife among them. Then spake they unto the blind again: What sayest thou of him, because he hath opened thine eyes? And he said: He is a Prophet.
But the Jewes did not believe of the fellow, how that he was blind and received his sight, until they had called the father and mother of him that had received his sight. And they asked them saying: Is this your son, whom ye say was born blind? How doth he now see then? His father and mother answered them and said, we *wot well that this is our son, and that he was born blind: but by what means he now seeth that can we not tell, or who hath opened his eyes, can we not tell. He is old enough, ask him, let him answer for himself. Such words spake his father and mother, because they feared the Jewes. For the Jewes had conspired already that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be excommunicate out of the synagogue. Therefore said his father and mother: he is old enough, ask him.
Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him: Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. He answered and said: Whether he be a sinner or no, I cannot tell: One thing I am sure of, that I was blind, and now I see. Then said they to him again. What did he to thee? How opened he thine eyes? He answered them, I told you *yer while, and ye did not hear. Wherefore would ye hear it again? Will ye also be his disciples? Then rated they him, and said: Thou art his disciple. We be Mosess disciples. We are sure that God spake with Moses. This fellow we know not from whence he is.
The man answered and said unto them: this is a marvelous thing that ye *wot not whence he is, seeing he hath opened mine eyes. For we be sure that God heareth not sinners. But if any man be a worshipper of God and do his will, him heareth he. Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. If this man were not of God, he could have done nothing. They answered and said unto him: thou art altogether born in sin, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
Jesus heard that they had excommunicated him: and as soon as he had found him, he said unto him: dost thou believe on the son of God? He answered and said: Who is it Lord, that I might believe on him? And Jesus said unto him: Thou hast seen him, and he it is that talketh with thee. And he said: Lord I believe: and worshipped him. Jesus said: I am come unto judgement into this world: that they which see not, might see, and they which see, might be made blind. And some of the Pharisees which were with him, heard these words and said unto him: are we then blind? Jesus said unto them: if ye were blind, ye should have no sin. But now ye say, we see, therefore your sin remaineth.
*wot (know) *yer (before)
Pauls letter to the Colossians 3 If ye be then risen again with Christ seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things that are above, and not on things which are on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ which is our life, shall show himself, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
Mortify therefore your members which are on the earth, fornication, uncleanness, unnatural lust, evil *concupiscence, and covetousness which is worshipping of idols: for which things sakes the wrath of God cometh on the children of unbelief. In which things ye walked once, when ye lived in them.
But now put ye also away from you all things: wrath, fierceness, maliciousness, cursed speaking, filthy speaking out of your mouths. Lie not one to another that the old man with his works be put off, and the new put on, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that made him, where is neither Gentile nor Jewe, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarous or Scythian, bond or free: but Christ is all in all things.
Now therefore as elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercy, kindness, humbleness of minds, meekness, long suffering, forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel to another: even as Christ forgave you, even so do ye. Above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness. And the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which peace ye are called in one body. And see that ye be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you plenteously in all wisdom. Teach and exhort your own selves, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs which have favour with them, singing in your hearts to the Lord. And all things (whatsoever ye do in word or deed) do in the name of the Lord Jesu, giving thanks to God the father by him.
Wives, submit your own selves unto your own husbands, as it is comely in the Lord. Husbands love your wives and be not bitter unto them. Children obey your fathers and mothers in all things, for that is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers rate not your children, lest they be of a desperate mind. Servants be obedient unto your bodily masters in all things: not with eye service as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God. And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as though ye did it to the Lord, and not unto men, for as much as ye know that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of inheritance, for ye serve the Lord Christ. But he that doth wrong shall receive for the wrong that he hath done: for there is no respect of persons with God. Ye masters do unto your servants that which is just and equal, seeing ye know that ye also have a master in heaven.
*concupiscence: strong desire; lust of the flesh, lust of the eye, pride of goods.
Creditor...
The Second Book of the Kings 4 ...Fourth Book of Kings if from the Latin And there cried a certain woman of the wives of the children of the prophets unto Eliseus saying: thy servant my husband is dead, and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord.
And the creditor is come to fetch my two sons, to be his bondmen. And Eliseus said to her: What shall I do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in thine house? And she said thy handmaid hath nothing at all in her house, save a pitcher with oil. And he said: Go and borrow thee in other places, of all thy neighbors, empty vessels and that not a few. And then go and shut the door to thee and to thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels, and put the full always aside.
And she went from him, and shut the door to her and her sons. And they brought to her, and she poured out. And when the vessels were full, she said to her son: bring yet a vessel. And he said: there is no more. And then the oil ceased. Then she came and told the man of God. And he said: go and sell the Oil and pay thy creditor. And live thou and thy children of the rest.
And it fell on a day, that Eliseus came to Sunam, where was a rich woman that took him in for to eat bread. And as oft as he came that way, he turned in thither to eat bread. And she said unto her husband: see, I perceive that the man of God is perfect, and cometh always by us. Let us make him a chamber with a little wall, and let us set him there a bed, a table, a stool and a candlestick, that he may turn in thither, when he cometh to us.
And it fortuned on a time that he came thither and turned into the chamber and lay there. Then he said to Gihezi his servant: call this Sunamite. And he called her, and she came before him. And Eliseus said to him, say to her I pray thee: see, thou hast made all this provision for us, what shall we do for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king or to the captain of the Host? And she said I dwell among mine own people. Then he said, what is to be done for her? And Gihezi said: Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old. And he said: call her. And he called her. And she came and stood at the door. Then he said: by such a time, as soon as the fruit can live, thou shalt embrace a son, and she said, Oh nay my Lord thou man of God, do not lie unto the handmaid. And the wife conceived and bare a son the same season that Eliseus had said unto her, as soon as the fruit could have life.
And when the lad was great, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father, to the harvest time. And there he complained unto his father, my head, my head. And his father said to a lad, carry him to his mother. And he took him and brought him to his mother. And he sat on her knees till noon, and then died. And she carried him up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door to him, and went out, and came to her husband and said: send me one of the young men and an Ass that I may run to the man of God. And he said: wherefore wilt thou go to him today, while it is neither new moon nor Sabbath day. And she said: be content. Then she saddled an Ass and said to the lad: lead away and make me not cease riding, until I bid thee.
And so she went and came unto the man of God, to mount Carmel. And when the man of God saw her a far, he said to Gihezi his servant: see, where our servant cometh. Now run against her, and ask her, whether it be all well with her, and with her husband and with the lad. And she said: all is well. Then she went to the man of God up to the hill and caught him by the feet. And Gihezi went to her, to thrust her away. But the man of God said: let her alone, for her soul is vexed, and the Lord hath hid it from me and hath not told it me. Then she said: did I desire a son of my Lord? did I not say, that thou shouldest not bring me in a fools Paradise?
Then he said to Gihezi: gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand and away. If any man meet thee, salute him not. And if any salute thee, answer him not again. And put my staff upon the boy. Notwithstanding the mother of the child said: as sure as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And then he arose and followed her. Gihezi went before them and put the staff upon the lad. But there was neither voice nor attending. And then he went again against his master and told him saying: it hath not awaked the lad.
And when Eliseus was come to the house: Behold, the lad was dead and laid upon his bed. And he went in and shut the door to the lad and him, and prayed unto the Lord. And he went up and lay upon the lad, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and the palm of his hands on the palm of his hands, and spread himself upon the lad that the flesh of the child waxed warm. And went again and walked once up and down in the house, and then went up and spread himself upon him. And the lad sneezed seven times and opened his eyes. And he called Gihezi and said: Call for this Sunamite. And he called her. And when she was come to him, he said: take thy son. Then she went and fell at his feet and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son and went out. When Eliseus was come to Galgal again, there was a *darth in the land, and the children of the prophets dwelt with him. Then he said to his servant, put on a great pot, and make pottage for the children of the prophets. And one went out into the field, to gather herbs, and found as it were a wild vine, and gathered thereof *Coloquintidaes his lapful, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage, they unwitting. And they poured out for the men to eat. And when they had tasted of the pottage, they cried out and said: there is death in the pot thou man of God, and could not eat thereof. Then he said: bring meal. And he cast it into the pot and said: fill for the people that they may eat, and there was no harm in the pot.
There came a man from Baalsalisa and brought the man of God bread of first fruits, even twenty leaves of barley, and new corn in a cloth he had. And Eliseus bade put it before the people that they might eat. Then his minister said: what should I set this before an hundred men? And he said: set it before the people and let them eat. For thus saith the Lord: they shall eat and leave. And he set it before them, and they ate and left, according to the word of the Lord.
*darth: dearth; famine, shortage of food. *Coloquintidaes: unknown, plant?: from Colocynth: "bitter apple" purgative drugs from it; but apparently poisonous.
the Prophet Esai 24 ( ) Behold, the Lord waste and *plague the world, he shall make the face of the earth desolate, and scatter abroad the inhabitors thereof. Then shall the Priest be as the people, the master as the servant, the dame like the maid, the seller like the buyer, he that lendeth upon usury, like him that borroweth upon usury, the creditor like the debtor. Yee miserably shall the world be wasted and clean destroyed. For the Lord hath so determined in himself. The earth shall be heavy and decay: The face of the earth shall perish away, the proud people shall come to naught. For the earth is corrupt of her indwellers.
For why? they have offended the law changed the ordinances, and made the everlasting testament of none effect. And therefore shall the curse devour the earth: for they that dwell theron have sinned, wherefore they shall be burnt also, and those that remain, shall be very few. The sweet wine shall mourn, the grapes shall be weak, and all that have been merry in heart, shall sigh. The mirth of tabrets shall be layed down, the cheer of the joyful shall cease, and the pleasure of the lutes shall have an end: there shall be no more wine be drunk with mirth, the beer shall be bitter to them that drink it, the wicked cities shall be broken down, all houses shall be shut, that no man may come in.
In the streets shall there be lift up a cry because of wine, all mens cheer shall vanish away, and all joy of the earth shall pass. Desolation shall remain in the cities, and the gates shall be smitten with wasteness. For it shall happen unto all lands and to all people, like as when a man smiteth down the olives, that are left on the olive tree: or seeketh after grapes, when the wine gathering is out. And those same ( that remain ) shall lift up their voice, and be glad, and shall magnify the glory of the Lord, even from the *see and praise the name of the Lord God of Israel in the *valleys and Flondes. We heard songs sung to the praise of the righteous, from all the ends of the world. Therefore I must speak: O mine unfruitfulness, O my poverty. Woe is me, all is full of sinners, which offend of purpose and malice. And therefore ( O thou that dwellest upon the earth ) there is at hand for thee, fear, pit and snare. Who so escapeth the terrible cry, shall fall in to the pit. And if he come out of the pit, he shall be taken with the snare. For the windows above shall be opened, and the foundation of the earth shall move. The earth shall give a great crack, it shall have a sore ruin, and take an horrible fall. The earth shall *stacker like a drunken man, and be taken away like a tent. Her misdeeds shall lay heavy upon her, that she must fall, and never rise up again. At the same time shall the Lord muster together the high host above, and the Kings of the world upon the earth. These shall be coupled together as prisoners be, and shall be shut in one ward and punished innumerable days. The Moon and the Sun shall be ashamed, when the Lord of Hosts shall rule them at Jerusalem upon the mount Zion, before and with his excellent counsel.
For *plagues; see Job (of the heart, and also the flesh) RN *see (sea). *valleys and Flondes (floods). (kjv and other bibles of man = isles of the sea). The earth shall *stacker (stagger) like a drunken man.

the Prophet Esai 58 also in 24 above And therefore cry now, as loud as thou canst. Leave not off, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their offenses , and the house of Jacob their sins. For they seek me daily, and will know my ways, even as it were a people that did right, and had not forsaken the statutes of their God. They argue with me concerning right judgement, and will pleate at the law with their God. Wherefore fast we ( they say ) and thou seest not? we put our lives to straightness, and thou regardest not?
Behold, when ye fast, your lust remaineth still: for ye do no less violence to your debtors : Lo, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with your fist that speaketh unto you. Ye fast not ( as some time ) that your voice might be heard above. Think ye this fast pleaseth me, that a man should chasten himself for a day, and to wring his head about like an hook in an heavy cloth and, to lie upon the earth? Should that be called fasting, or a day that pleaseth the Lord? But this fasting pleaseth me not, till that time be thou *jowse him out of bondage, that is in thy danger: that thou break the oath of wicked bargains, that thou let the oppressed go free, and take from them all manner of burdens. It pleaseth not me, till thou deal thy bread to the hungry, and bring the poor fatherless home into thy house, when thou seest the naked that thou cover him, and hide not thy face from thine own flesh.
Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy health flourish right shortly: thy righteousness shall go before thee, and the glory of the Lord shall embrace thee.
Then if thou callest, the Lord shall answer thee: if thou shalt cryest, he shall say: Here I am. Yee If thou layest away thy burdens, and holdest thy fingers, and ceasest from blasphemous talking, if thou hast compassion on the hungry, and refresheth the troubled soul: Then shall thy light spring out in the darkness, and thy darkness shall be as noon day. The Lord shall ever be thy guide, and satisfy the desires of thine heart, and fill thy bones with merry. Thou shalt be like as a fresh watered garden, and like the fountain of water, that never leaveth running. Then the places that have ever been waste, shall be builded of thee: there shalt thou lay a foundation for many kindreds. Thou shalt be called the maker up of hedges, and the builder again of the way of the Sabbath.
Yee if thou turn thy feet from the Sabbath, so that thou do not the thing which pleaseth thy self in my holy day: then shalt thou be called unto the pleasant, holy, and glorious Sabbath of the Lord, where thou shalt be in honor: so that thou do not after thine own imagination, neither seek thine own will, ner speak thine own words. Then shalt thou have thy pleasure in the Lord, which shall carry thee high above the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the Lords own mouth hath so promised.
*jowse (loose or jowest win him out of )
Prophet Ezechiel 18 (Ezekiel) The word of the Lord came unto me, on this manner: what mean ye, by this common proverb, that ye use in the land of Israel, saying: The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the childrens teeth are set on edge? As truly as I live, saith the Lord God, ye shall use this byword no more in Israel.
Behold, all souls are mine. Like as the father is mine, so is the son mine also. The soul that sinneth, shall die. If a man be godly, and do the thing that is equal and right, he eateth not upon the hills: he lifteth not his eyes up to the Idols of Israel, he defileth not his neighbors wife: he meddleth with no menstruous woman: he grieveth nobody: he giveth his debtor his pledge again , he raketh none other mans goods by violence: he parteth his meat with the hungry: he clotheth the naked: he lendeth nothing upon usury: he taketh nothing over: he with draweth his hand from doing wrong: he handleth faithfully between man and man: he walketh in my commandments, and keepeth my laws, and performeth them faithfully: This is a righteous man, he shall surly live saith the Lord God.
If he now get a son, that is a murderer, a shedder of blood: if he do one of these things ( though he do not all ) he eateth upon the hills: he defiled his neighbors wife: he grieveth the poor and needy: he robbeth and spoileth: he giveth not the debtor his pledge again, he lifteth up his eyes unto Idols, and meddle with abominable things: he lendeth upon usury, and taketh moreover. Shall this man live? He shall not live. Seeing he hath done all these abominations, he shall die his blood shall be upon him.
Now if this man get a son also, that seeth all his fathers sins, which he hath done: and feareth, neither do such like: Namely , he eateth not upon the mountains: he lifteth not up his eyes to the Idols of Israel: he defileth not his neighbors wife: he vexeth no man: he keepeth no mans pledge, he neither spoileth, nor robbeth any man: he dealeth his meat with the hungry: he clotheth the naked: he opresseth not the poor: he receiveth no usury, nor anything over: he keepeth my laws, and walketh in my comandments: this man shall not die in his fathers sin, but shall live without fail. As for his father: because he oppressed and spoiled his brother, and did wickedly among his people: Lo, he is dead in his own sin. And yet say ye: Wherefore then should not the son bear his fathers sin? Therefore shall he live in deed. The same soul that sinneth, shall die. The son shall not bear the fathers offense. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him self also. But if the ungodly will turn away from all his sins that he hath done, and keep all my comandments, and do the thing that is equal and right: doubtless he shall live, and not die. As for all the sins that he did before, they shall not be thought upon: but in his righteousness that he hath done, he shall live. For have I any pleasure in the death of a sinner, sayeth the Lord God: but rather that he convert, and live?
Again: If the righteous turn away from his righteousness, and do iniquity, according to all the abominations, that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All the righteousness that he hath done, shall not be thought upon: but in the fault that he offended withal and in the sin that he hath done, he shall die.
And yet ye say: Tush, the way of the Lord is not indifferent. Hear therefore ye house of Israel: Is not my way right? Or, are not your ways rather wicked? When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and meddleth with ungodliness: he must die therein: yee for the unrighteousness that he hath done, he must die. Again: when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness, that he hath done, and doeth the thing which is equal and right: he shall save his soul alive. For in so much that he remembereth himself, and turneth him from all ungodliness that he used, he shall live, and not die.
And yet saith the house of Israel: Tush, the way of the Lord is not equal. Are my ways unright, O ye house of Israel: Are not your ways rather unequal? As for me, I will judge every man, according to his ways, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord God. Wherefore be converted, and turn you clean from all your wickedness, so shall there no sin do you harm. Cast away from you all your ungodliness, that ye have done: make you new hearts and new spirit. Wherefore will ye die, O ye house of Israel: seeing that I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, sayeth the Lord God. Turn you then, and ye shall live.
Gospel of St Luke 7 When he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum. And a certain Centurions servant was sick and ready to die, whom he made much of. And when he heard of Jesu, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant. And they came to Jesus and besought him instantly saying: He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him. For he loveth our nation, and hath built us a synagogue. And Jesus went with them.
And when he was not far from the house, the Centurion sent friends to him: saying unto him Lord trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof. Wherefore I thought not myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be whole. For I likewise am a man under power, and have under me soldiers, and I say unto one: go, and he goeth. And to another, come: and he cometh. And to my servant, do this: and he doeth it. When Jesus heard this, he marvelled at him, and turned him about and said to the people that followed him: I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. And they that were sent, turned back home again, and found the servant that was sick, whole.
And it fortuned after that, that he went into a city called Naim, and many of his disciples went with him and much people. When he came nigh to the gate of the city: behold, there was a dead man carried out which was the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and much people of the city was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her: weep not. And he went and touched the coffin, and they that bare him, stood still. And he said: Young man, I say unto thee, arise. And the dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. And there came a fear on them all. And they glorified God saying: a great Prophet is risen among us, and God hath visited his people. And this rumor of him went forth throughout all *Jurie, and through out all the regions which lie round about.
And the disciples of John showed him of all these things. And John called unto him two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus saying: Art thou he that shall come: or shall we look for another? When the men were come unto him they said: John Baptist sent us unto thee saying: Art thou he that shall come: or shall we wait for another? And at the same time he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits, and unto many that were blind he gave sight. And Jesus answered, and said unto them: Go your ways and show John what things ye have seen and heard, how that the blind see, the halt go, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead arise, to the poor is the glad tidings preached, and happy is he, that is not offended by me.
When the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people of John. What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? Went ye to see a reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings courts. But what went ye forth to see? A Prophet? Yea I say to you, and more than a Prophet. This is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my messenger before thy face, to prepare thy way before thee. For I say unto you: a greater Prophet than John among womens children is there none. Nevertheless one that is less in the kingdom of God, is greater than he. And all the people that heard, and the publicans, justified God, and were baptised with the baptism of John. But the Pharises and Scribes despised the counsel of God against themselves, and were not baptised of him.
And the Lord said: Whereunto shall I liken the men of this generation, and what thing are they like? They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and crying one to another, and saying: We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced: we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. For John Baptist came, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say: he hath the devil. The son of man is come and eateth and drinketh, and ye say: behold a man which is a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners. Yet is wisdom justified of all her children.
And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharises house, and sat down to meat. And behold a woman in that city, which was a sinner, as soon as she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharises house, she brought an alabaster box of ointment, and she stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with ointment.
When the Pharise which bade him, saw that, he spake within himself, saying: If this man were a prophet, he would surely have known who and what manner woman this is which toucheth him, for she is a sinner. And Jesus answered and said unto him: Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he said, master say on. There was a certain lender which had two debtors, the one ought five hundred pence and the other fifty. When they had nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them tell me, will love him most? Simon answered and said: I suppose, that he to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him: Thou hast truly judged.
And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon: Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, and thou gavest me no water to my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears and wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet. Mine head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore I say unto thee: many sins are forgiven her: for she loved much. To whom less is forgiven, the same doth less love. And he said unto her, thy sins are forgiven thee. And they that sat at meat with him, began to say within themselves: Who is this which forgiveth sins also? And he said to the woman: Thy faith hath saved thee, Go in peace.
*Jurie (Jewry),
Gospel of St Luke 16 And he said also unto his disciples. There was a certain rich man, which had a steward, that was accused unto him, that he had wasted his goods. And he called him: and said unto him: How is it, that I hear this of thee? Give accounts of thy stewardship: for thou mayest be no longer steward. The steward said with in him self: what shall I do? for my master will take away from me the stewardship. I cannot dig, and to beg, I am ashamed. I *wot what to do, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
Then called he all his masters debtors, and said unto the first: how much owest thou unto my master? And he said: an hundred tuns of oil. And he said to him: take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. Then said he to another: what owest thou? And he said: an hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill, and write fourscore. And the Lord commended the unjust steward because he had done wisely. For the children of this world are in their kind, wiser then the children of light. And I say also unto you: make you friends of the wicked mammon, that when ye shall depart, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
He that is faithful in that which is least the same is faithful in much. And he that is unfaithful in the least: is unfaithful also in much. So then if ye have not been faithful in the wicked mammon, who will believe you in that which is true? And if ye have not been faithful in another mans business: who shall give you your own? No servant can serve two masters, for either he shall hate the one and love the other, or else he shall lean to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
All these things heard the Pharisees also which were covetous, and they mocked him. And he said unto them: Ye are they which justify yourselves before men: but God knoweth your hearts. For that which is highly esteemed among men, is abominable in the sight of God.
The law and the Prophets reigned until the time of John: and since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man striveth to go in. Sooner shall heaven and earth perish than one tittle of the law shall perish. Whosoever forsaketh his wife and marrieth another, breaketh matrimony. And every man which marrieth her that is divorced from her husband, committeth *advoutry also.
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine byss, and fared deliciously every day. And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which lay at his gate full of sores desiring to be refreshed with the crumbs which fell from the rich mans board. Nevertheless, the dogs came and licked his sores. And it fortuned that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abrahams bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
And being in hell in torments, he lift up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom, and he cried and said: father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said unto him: Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime, receivedst thy pleasure, and contrary wise Lazarus pain. Now therefore is he comforted, and thou art punished. Beyond all this, between you and us there is a great space set, so that they which would go from hence to you cannot: neither may come from thence to us.
Then he said I pray thee therefore father, send him to my fathers house. For I have five brethren: for to warn them lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham said unto him: they have Moses and the Prophets, let them hear them. And he said: nay father Abraham, but if one came unto them from the dead, they would repent. He said unto him: If they hear not Moses and the Prophets, neither will they believe, though one rose from death again.
*wot (know). *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
Pauls letter to the Romans 1 Paul the servant of Jesus Christ called to be an Apostle, put apart to preach the Gospell of God, which he promised afore by his Prophets in the holy scriptures that make mention of his son, the which was begotten of the seed of David, as pertaining to the flesh: and declared to be the son of God, with power of the Holy ghost that sanctifieth, since the time that Jesus Christ our Lord rose again from death, by whom we have received grace and Apostleship, to bring all manner heathen people unto obedience of the faith, that is in his name: of the which heathen are ye a part also, which are Jesus Christs by vocation.
To all you of Rome beloved of God and saints by calling. Grace be with you and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
First verily I thank my God through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is published throughout all the world. For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the Gospell of his son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers, beseeching that at one time or another, a prosperous journey (by the will of God) might fortune me, to come unto you. For I long to see you, that I might bestow among you some spiritual gift, to strength you with all: that is, that I might have consolation together with you, through the common faith, which both ye and I have.
I would that ye should know brethren, how that I have often times purposed to come unto you (but have been let hitherto) to have some fruit among you, as I have among other of the Gentiles. For I am debtor both to the Greeks and to them which are no Greeks, unto the learned and also unto the unlearned. Likewise, as much as in me is I am ready to preach the Gospell to you of Rome also. For I am not ashamed of the gospell of Christ because it is the power of God unto salvation to all that believe, namely to the Jewe, and also to the Gentile. For by it the righteousness which cometh of God, is opened, from faith to faith As it is written: The just shall live by faith.
For the wrath of God appeareth from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men which withhold the truth in unrighteousness: seeing, what may be known of God, that same is manifest among them. For God did show it unto them. So that his invisible things: that is to say, his eternal power and godhead, are understood and seen, by the works from the creation of the world. So that they are without excuse, in as much as when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful but waxed full of vanities in their imaginations, and their foolish hearts were blinded. When they counted themselves wise, they became fools and turned the glory of the immortal God, unto the similitude of the image of mortal man, and of birds, and fourfooted beasts, and of serpents. Wherefore God like wise gave them up unto their hearts lusts, unto uncleanness, to defile their own bodies between themselves: which turned his truth unto a lie, and worshipped and served the creatures more then the maker, which is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto shameful lusts. For even their women did change the natural use unto the unnatural. And likewise also the men left the natural use of the woman, and burned in their lusts one on another. And man with man wrought filthiness, and received in themselves the reward of their error, as it was according.
And as it seemed not good unto them to be a known of God, even so God delivered them up unto a lewd mind, that they should do those things which were not comely, being full of all unrighteous doing, of fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, evil conditioned, whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proud, boasters, bringers up of evil things, disobedient to father and mother, without understanding, covenant breakers, unloving, truce breakers and merciless. Which men though they knew the righteousness of God, how that they which commit such things, are worthy of death, yet not only do the same, but also have pleasure in them that do them.
Pauls letter to the Romans 8 There is then no damnation to them which are in Christ *Jesu, which walk not after the flesh: but after the spirit. For the law of the spirit that bringeth life through Jesus Christ, hath delivered me from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in as much it was weak because of the flesh: that performed God, and sent his son in the similitude of sinful flesh, and by sin damned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness required of the law might be fulfilled in us, which walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit.
For they that are carnal, are carnally minded. But they that are spiritual, are ghostly minded. To be carnally minded, is death. But to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Because that the fleshly mind is *emnity against God: for it is not obedient to the law of God, neither can be. So then they that are given to the flesh, cannot please God.
But ye are not given to the flesh, but to the spirit: if so be that the spirit of God dwell in you. If there be any man that hath not the spirit of Christ, the same is none of his. If Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin: but the spirit is life for righteousness sake. Wherefore if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from death, dwell in you: even he that raised up Christ from death, shall quicken your mortal bodies, because that this spirit dwelleth in you.
Therefore brethren we are now debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye must die. But if ye mortify the deeds of the body, by the help of the spirit, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the spirit of God: they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage to fear any more, but ye have received the spirit of adoption whereby we cry Abba father. The same spirit certifieth our spirit that we are the sons of God. If we be sons, we are also heirs, the heirs I mean of God, and heirs annexed with Christ if so be that we suffer together, that we may be glorified together.
For I suppose that the afflictions of this life, are not worthy of the glory which shall be showed upon us. Also the fervent desire of the creatures abideth looking when the sons of God shall appear, because the creatures are subdued to vanity against their will: but for his will which subdueth them in hope. For the very creatures shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the sons of God. For we know that every creature groaneth with us also, and travaileth in pain even unto this time.
Not they only, but even we also which have the first fruits of the spirit, mourn in ourselves and wait for the (adoption) and look for the deliverance of our bodies. For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen is no hope. For how can a man hope for that which he seeth? But and if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience abide for it.
Likewise the spirit also helpeth our infirmities. For we know not what to desire as we ought: but the spirit maketh intercession mightily for us with groanings which cannot be expressed with tongue. And he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is the meaning of the spirit: for he maketh intercession for the saints according to pleasure of God.
For we know that all things work for the best unto them that love God, which also are called of purpose. For those which he knew before, he also ordained before, that they should be like fashioned unto the shape of his son, that he might be the first begotten son among many brethren. Moreover which he appointed before them he also called. And which he called, them also be justified, which he justified, them he also glorified.
What shall we then say to these things? If God be on our side: who can be against us? which spared not his own son, but gave him for us all: how shall he not with him give us all things also? Who shall lay anything to the charge of Gods chosen? it is God that justifieth: who then shall condemn? it is Christ which is dead, yee rather which is risen again, which is also on the right hand of God, and maketh intercession for us.
Who shall separate us from the love of God? shall tribulation? or anguish? or persecution? other hunger? either nakedness? either peril? either sword? As it is written: For thy sake are we killed all day long, and are counted as sheep appointed to be slain. Nevertheless in all these things we overcome strongly through his help that loved us. Ye and I am sure that neither death, neither life, neither Angels, nor rule, neither power, neither things present, neither things to come, neither height, neither lowth, neither any other creature shall be able to depart us from the love of God, showed in Christ *Jesu our Lord.
*Jesu: Jesus from the Hebrew. *emnity (enmity :hostility)
Pauls letter to the Romans 15 We which are strong, ought to bear the frailness of them which are weak, and not to stand in our own conceits. Let every man please his neighbor unto his wealth and edifying. For Christ pleased not himself: but as it is written. The rebukes of them which rebuked thee, fell on me. Whatsoever things are written afore time, are written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scripture, might have hope.
The God of patience and consolation, give unto every one of you, that ye be like minded one towards another after the example of Christ *Jesu: that ye all agreeing together, may with one mouth praise God the father of our Lord Jesus. Wherefore receive ye one another as Christ received us, to the praise of God. And I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers. And let the gentiles praise God for his mercy, as it is written: For this cause I will praise thee among the gentiles, and sing in thy name. And again he saith: rejoice ye gentiles with his people. And again, praise the Lord all ye gentiles, and laud him all nations. And in another place Esaias saith: there shall be the root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the gentiles: in him shall the gentiles trust. The God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing: that ye may be rich in hope through the power of the holy ghost.
I myself am full certified of you my brethren, that ye yourselves are full of goodness and filled with all knowledge, and are able to exhort one another. Nevertheless brethren I have somewhat boldly written unto you, as one that putteth you in remembrance, through the grace that is given me of God, that I should be the minister of *Jesu Christ among the Gentiles, and should minister the glad tidings of God, that the gentiles might be an acceptable offering sanctified by the holy ghost. I have therefore whereof I may rejoice in Christ *Jesu, in those things which pertain to God. For I dare not speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, with word and deed, in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the spirit of God: so that from Jerusalem and the coast round about unto Illyricum, I have filled all countries with glad tidings of Christ.
So have I enforced myself to preach the Gospell, not where Christ was named, lest I should have built on another mans foundation: but as it is written: To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that heard not, shall understand. For this cause I have been often let to come unto you: but now seeing I have no more to do in these countries, and also have been desirous many years to come unto you, when I shall take my journey into *spaine, I will come to you. I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, after that I have somewhat enjoyed you.
Now go I unto Jerusalem, and minister unto the saints. For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain distribution upon the poor saints which are at Jerusalem. It hath pleased them verily, and their debtors are they. For if the Gentiles be made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is to minister unto them in carnal things. When I have performed this, and have brought them this fruit sealed. I will come back again by you into Spaine. And I am sure when I come, that I shall come with abundance of the blessing of the Gospell of Christ. I beseech you brethren for our Lord Jesus Christs sake, and for the love of the spirit, that ye help me in my business with your prayers to God for me, that I may be delivered from them which believe not in Jewry and that this my service, which I have to Jerusalem, may be accepted of the saints, that I may come unto you with joy, by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed. The God of peace be with you. Amen.
