1And he entred agayne into the synagogue, & a man was there whiche had a wythered hande: 2And they watched hym, whether he woulde heale hym on the Sabboth daye, that they myght accuse hym. 3And he saide vnto the man which had the wythered hande: Aryse, and stande in the myddes. 4And he saide vnto them: Is it lawful to do good on the Sabboth dayes, or to do euyl? to saue lyfe, or to kyll? But they helde their peace. 5And when he had loked rounde about on them with anger, mournyng for the hardnesse of their heartes, he sayth to the man: stretch foorth thyne hande. And he stretched it out: And his hande was restored, euen as whole as the other. 6And the pharisees departed, and strayghtway gathered a councell, with the Herodians, agaynst hym, that they myght destroy hym.

Jesus Heals the Multitudes
(Matthew 4:23–25; Luke 6:17–19)

7But Iesus auoyded, with his disciples, to the sea: And a great multitude folowed hym from Galilee, and from Iurie, 8And from Hierusalem, & from Idumea, and from beyonde Iordane, and they that dwelled about Tyre & Sidon, a great multitude of men: Which, whe they had hearde what thynges he dyd, came vnto hym. 9And Iesus comaunded his disciples, that a shippe shoulde wayte on hym, because of the people, leste they shoulde thronge hym. 10For he had healed many: insomuche, that they preassed vpon him for to touch hym, as many as had plagues. 11And when the vncleane spirites sawe hym, they fell downe before hym, and cryed, saying: Thou art the sonne of God. 12And he straytely charged them, that they shoulde not make hym knowen.

The Twelve Apostles
(Matthew 10:1–4; Luke 6:12–16)

13And he went vp into a mountayne, & called vnto him whom he woulde: and they came vnto hym. 14And he ordeyned twelue, that they shoulde be with him, and that he might sende them foorth to preache, 15And that they myght haue power to heale sicknesses, and to cast out deuyls. 16And he gaue vnto Simon to name, Peter. 17And he called Iames the sonne of Zebedee, and Iohn, Iames brother (and gaue them to name Boanarges, which is to say, the sonnes of thunder.) 18And Andrewe, and Philip, and Bartholomewe, and Matthewe, and Thomas, and Iames the sonne of Alphee, and Thaddeus, and Simon Cananite, 19And Iudas Iscariot, which also betrayed hym. And they came into the house:

A House Divided
(Matthew 12:22–30; Luke 11:14–23)

20And the people assembled together agayne, so that they had no leysure so much as to eate bread. 21And when they that belonged vnto hym, hearde of it, they went out to laye handes vpon hym: For they sayde, he is madde. 22And the scribes whiche came downe from Hierusalem, sayde: He hath Beelzebub, and by the chiefe deuyll, casteth he out deuyls. 23And he called them vnto hym, & sayde vnto them in parables: Howe can Satan driue out Satan? 24And yf a realme be deuided agaynst it selfe, that realme can not endure. 25And yf a house be deuided agaynst it selfe, that house can not continue. 26And yf Satan make insurrection agaynst him selfe & be deuided, he can not continue, but hath an ende. 27No man can enter into a strong mans house, and take away his goodes, except he first bynde the strong man, and then spoyle his house.

The Unpardonable Sin
(Matthew 12:31–32)

28Ueryly I say vnto you, al sinnes shalbe forgeuen vnto the chyldren of men, & blasphemies wherewith so euer they haue blasphemed: 29But he that speaketh blasphemie agaynst the holy ghoste, hath neuer forgeuenesse, but is in daunger of eternall dampnation. 30For they sayde: he hath an vncleane spirite.
