THE GOSPELL OF ST. MARK Chpt 10
And he rose from thence and went into the coasts of *Jurie through the region that is beyond Jordan. And the people resorted unto him afresh: and as he was *wont, he taught them again. And the Pharises came and asked him a question: whether it were lawful for a man to put away his wife: to prove him. And he answered and said unto them: what did Moses bid you do? And they said: Moses *suffered to write a testimonial of divorcement, and to put her away. And Jesus answered and said unto them: For the hardness of your hearts he wrote this precept unto you. But at the first creation God made them man and woman. And for this things sake shall man leave his father and mother, and bide by his wife and they *twain shall be one flesh. So then are they now not *twain, but one flesh. Therefore what God hath coupled, let not man separate.
But the serpent was subtler than all the beasts of the field, which the Lord
God had made: and said unto the woman: you, hath God said in deed,
you shall not eat of all manner trees in the garden? And the woman said
unto the serpent, of the fruit of the trees in the garden we may eat, but of the
fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden ( said God ) see that ye
eat not, and see that ye touch it not, lest ye die. Then said the serpent unto
the woman: tush ye shall not die: but God doth know that whensoever ye should
eat of it, your eyes should be opened, and ye should be as God, and know
both good and evil. And the woman saw that it was a good tree to eat of, and
lusty unto the eyes, and a pleasant tree for to give understanding. And took of
the fruit of it and ate, and gave unto her husband also with her, and he ate.
And the eyes of both of them were opened, that they understood how that they
were naked. Then they sewed fig leaves together and made them aprons.
And they heard the voice of the Lord God as
he walked in the garden in the cool of the day. And Adam hid himself and his
wife also from the face of the Lord God, among the trees of the garden. And the
Lord God called Adam, and said unto him: where art thou? And he answered: Thy
voice I heard in the garden, but I was afraid, because I was naked, and
therefore hid myself. And he said: Who told thee that thou wast naked? hast
thou eaten of the tree, of which I bade thee that thou shouldest not eat? And
Adam answered: The woman which thou gavest to bear me company, she took me of
the tree, and I ate. And the Lord God said unto the woman: Wherefore didest thou
so? And the woman answered: The serpent deceived me and I ate.
JUDGES
Chpt 16
Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an whore, and went in unto
her. And it was told the Gazites, that Samson was come thither. And they
went about and laid await for him all night in the gate of the city, but were
still all the night saying: Tarry till the morning that it be day, and then let
us kill him. And Samson took his rest till midnight, and arose at midnight took
the doors of the gate of the city, and the two side posts, and rent them off,
bars and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of
an hill that lieth before Hebron.
And after that he loved a woman, upon the river of Sorek,
called Dalilah unto whom came the Lords of the Philistines, and said unto
her: Flatter with him and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what
means we may have power over him, that we may bind him, to bring him under, and
we will give every man eleven hundred silverlings.
And Dalilah said to Samson. Oh, tell me
where thy great strength lieth, and if thou were bound wherewith men might
constrain thee. And Samson said unto her: If men bound me with seven green
*withies that were never dried, I should be weak and as another man. And then
the Lords of the Philistines brought her seven withies that were yet green and
never dried and she bound him therewith. Notwithstanding she had men lying in
wait with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, the Philistines be upon
thee Samson. And he brake the cords as a string of tow breaketh, when it feeleth
fire. And so his strength was not known.
Then said Dalilah to Samson: See thou hast
mocked me and told me lies. Now yet tell me I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest
be bound. And he said: If I were bound with new ropes that never were occupied,
then should I be weak, and as another man. And Dalilah took new ropes and bound
him therewith, and said unto him, the Philistines be upon thee Samson. And there
were layers of wait in the chamber, and he brake them from off his arms, as they
had been but a thread. And Dalilah said unto Samson, hitherto thou hast beguiled
me and told me lies: I pray thee yet tell me wherewith men may bind thee. And he
said unto her: If thou plaitedest the seven locks of my head with an hair lace
and fasten them with a nail. And she said unto him, the Philistines be upon thee
Samson. And awaked out of his sleep, and plucked and went away with the nail
that was in the plaiting and with the hair lace. Then she said unto him: How
canst thou say that thou lovest me, when thine heart is not with me: for thou
hast mocked me this three times, and hast not told wherein thy great strength
lieth. And as she lay upon him with her words continually vexing of him, his
soul was encumbered even unto the death. And he told her all his heart, and said
unto her: there never came razor nor shears upon mine head, for I have been an
abstainer to God even from my mothers womb. If mine hair were cut off, my
strength would go from me, and I should wax and be like all other men. And when
Dalilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent for the Philistines
saying, come up yet this once, for he hath showed me all his heart.
Then the Lords of the Philistines came and
brought the money in their hands. And she made him sleep upon her lap, and sent
for a man, and cut off the seven locks of his head and began to vex him. But his
strength was gone from him. And she said the Philistines be upon thee Samson.
And he awoke out of his sleep and thought to go out as at other times before and
shake himself, and knew not that the Lord was departed from him. But the
Philistines took him and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and
bound him with fetters. And he was made to grind in the prison house, how be it
the hair of his head began to grow again after that he was shorn.
Then the Lords of the Philistines gathered
them together, for to offer a solemn offering unto Dagon their God, and to
rejoice: for they said, our God hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hands.
And when the people saw him, they praised their God: for they said our God hath
delivered into our hands our enemy, that destroyed our country and slew many of
us. And when their hearts were merry, they said: send for Samson and let him
play before us. And they fetched Samson out of the prison house, and he played
before them, and they set him between the pillars. And Samson said unto the lad
that led him by the hand: set me that I may touch the pillars that the house
stands upon, and that I may lean to them. And the house was full of men and
women. And there was all the lords of the Philistines. And there were upon the
roof a three thousand men and women, that beheld how Samson played.
And Samson called unto the Lord, and said:
my Lord Jehovah think upon me, and strengthen me, at this time only O' God, that
I may be avenged of the Philstines for my two eyes. And Samson caught the two
middle pillars on which the house stood and on which it was borne up, the one in
his right hand, and the other in his left, and said: my soul die with the
Philistines, and bowed them with might. And the house fell upon the lords and
upon all the people that were therein. And so the dead which he slew at his
death, were more than they which he slew in his life. And then his brethren and
all the house of his father; came down and took him up, and brought him and
buried him between Zaraah and Esthaol, in the burying place of Manoah his
father. And he judged Israel twenty years

And it came to pass in the beginning of a new year, in the times when kings
are wont to go forth to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him
and all Israel. And they destroyed the children of Ammon, and beseiged Rabah.
But David tarried still at Jerusalem. And it chanced in an evening that David
arose from his couch and walked upon the roof of the kings palace, and from the
roof saw a very beautiful woman washing herself. And he sent to enquire what
woman it should be. And it was answered again, that she was Bethsabe the
daughter of Eliam and wife to Urias the Hethite. And David sent messengers and
fetched her, and she came unto him, and he lay with her. And she was straightway
purified of her uncleanness, and returned unto her house. And when the woman had
perceived that she had conceived, she sent and told David, and said: I am with
child. Then David sent to Joab, to send unto him Urias the hethite. And Joab
sent Urias to David. And when Urias was come unto him he demanded how Joab did,
and how the people fared, and how the war prospered. And David said moreover to
Urias: go down to thine house and wash thy feet. And Urias departed out of the
kings palace, and there followed him a service from the kings table: But Urias
slept at the door of the kings palace with all the servants of his Lord, and
went not down to his house. 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.
Then they told David saying: Urias descended
not into his house. Then said David unto Urias: seeing that thou art come from
journeying, why dost thou not go down unto thine house? And Urias said unto
David: the ark and Israel and Juda dwell in pavilions: and my Lord Joab and the
servants of my Lord lie in tents upon the flat earth: and should I then go into
mine house, to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? By thy life and as sure
as thy soul liveth I will not do that thing. Then said David unto Urias: tarry
here this day also, and tomorrow I will let thee depart. And so Urias abode in
Jerusalem that day and on the morrow. And David called him, and he ate and drank
before him, and he made him drunk. And at even he went out to lie on his couch
with the servants of the Lord, and went not down to his house. Wherefore on the
morrow David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by Urias. And he wrote in the
letter saying: put Urias in the forefront of the battle where it is most strong,
and come back from him that he may be smitten to death. And as Joab beseiged the
city he assigned Urias unto a place where he knew that strong men were. And the
men of the city came out and fought with Joab. And there were certain overthrown
of the people and of the servants of David, and Urias the hethite died also.
Then Joab sent and told David all the
process of the war and charged the messengers saying: when thou hast made an end
of telling the story of war unto the king if he begin to fume and say unto thee:
wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city to fight? know ye not that men
would hurl and shoot from the walls? who smote Abimelech son of Jerobeseth? did
not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from off the walls, that he
died in Thebes? why then went ye nigh the walls? then say thou? thy servant
Urias the Hethite is dead also.
And the messengers went and came and showed
David all that Joab had sent him with, and said unto David: the men prevail
against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we stuck unto them, even
unto the entering of the gate. And the shooters shot from the walls, and some of
the servants of the king be dead. And thy servant Urias the hethite is dead
also. Then said David unto the messenger, thus wise say unto Joab, let not that
thing trouble thee. For the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy
battle more strong against the city and destroy it, and see that thou courage
Joab. And when the wife of Urias heard that her husband was dead, she mourned
for him, and as soon as the mourning was ended, David sent and fetched her to
his house, and she was his wife and bare him a son. But the deed that David had
committed, displeased the Lord
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
