The Gospell of S. Luke. The .xvij. Chapter.
- Then sayde he to ye disciples it can not be avoyded but that offences will come. Neverthelesse wo be to him thorow whom they come.
- It were better for him that a mylstone were hanged aboute his necke and that he were cast into ye see then that he shuld offende one of this lytleons.
- Take hede to youre selves. If thy brother trespas agaynst the rebuke him:
- and yf he repent forgeve him. And though he sinne agest ye .vii. tymes in a daye and seve tymes in a daye tourne agayne to ye sayinge: it repenteth me forgeve him
- And the apostles sayde vnto the Lorde: increase oure faith.
- And the Lorde sayde: yf ye had faith lyke a grayne of mustard sede and shuld saye vnto this sycamine tree plucke thy selfe vp by the rootes and plant thy selfe in the see: he should obey you.
- Who is it of you yf he had a servaute plowinge or fedinge catell that wolde saye vnto him when he were come from the felde Goo quickly and syt doune to meate:
- and wolde not rather saye to him dresse wherwith I maye sup and gyrde vp thy selfe and serve me tyll I have eaten and dronken: and afterwarde eate thou and drinke thou?
- Doeth he thanke that servaunt because he dyd that which was commaunded vnto him? I trowe not.
- Soo lyke wyse ye when ye have done all thoose thinges which are commaunded you: saye we are vnprofitable servautes. We have done: ye which was oure duetye to do.
- And it chaunsed as he went to Jerusalem that he passed thorow Samaria and Galile.
- And as he entred into a certayne toune ther met him ten men yt were lepers. Which stode a farre of
- and put forth their voyces and sayde: Jesu master have mercy on vs.
- When he sawe the he sayde vnto them: Goo and shewe youre selves to the prestes. And it chaunsed as they went they were clensed.
- And one of them when he sawe that he was clensed turned backe agayne and with a loude voyce praysed God
- and fell doune on his face at his fete and gave him thankes. And the same was a Samaritane.
- And Jesus answered and sayde: are ther not ten clensed? But where are those nyne?
- Ther are not founde that returned agane to geve God prayse save only this straunger.
- And he sayde vnto him: aryse and goo thy waye thy faith hath made the whoale.
- When he was demaunded of ye pharises when the kyngdome of God shuld come: he answered them and sayde: The kyngdome of God cometh not with waytinge for.
- Nether shall men saye: Loo here loo there. For beholde the kyngdome of God is with in you.
- And he sayde vnto the disciples: The dayes will come when ye shall desyre to se one daye of the sonne of man and ye shall not se it.
- And they shall saye to you: Se here Se there. Goo not after them nor folowe them
- for as the lyghtenynge that apereth out of the one parte of the heven and shyneth vnto the other parte of heven: Soo shall the sonne of man be in his dayes.
- But fyrst must he suffre many thinges and be refused of this nacion.
- As it happened in ye tyme of Noe: So shall it be in the tyme of the sonne of man.
- They ate they dranke they maryed wyves and were maryed even vnto yt same daye yt Noe went into ye arke: and ye floud cam and destroyed the all.
- Lykewyse also as it chaunsed in the dayes of Lot. They ate they dranke they bought they solde they planted they bilte.
- And even the same daye that Lot went out of Zodom it rayned fyre and brymstone from heven and destroyed them all.
- After these ensamples shall it be in the daye when the sonne of man shall appere.
- At that daye he that is on the housse toppe and his stuffe in the housse: let him not come doune to take it out. And lykewyse let not him that is in the feldes turne backe agayne to that he lefte behynde.
- Remember Lottes wyfe.
- Whosoever will goo about to save his lyfe shall loose it: And whosoever shall loose his lyfe shall save it.
- I tell you: In that nyght ther shalbe two in one beed the one shalbe receaved and the other shalbe forsaken.
- Two shalbe also a grindynge to gedder: the one shalbe receaved and the other forsaken.
- And they answered and sayde to him: wheare Lorde? And he sayd vnto the: whersoever ye body shalbe thyther will the egles resoorte.
