1He tolde them a symilitude, signifienge, yt men ought allwayes to praye, & not to leaue of,

2& sayde: There was a iudge in a cite, which feared not God, and stode in awe of no man. 3And in the same cite there was a wedowe, which came vnto him, and sayde: delyuer me fro myne aduersary. 4And he wolde not a greate whyle. But afterwarde he thought within hi self: Though I feare not God, & stonde in awe of no man, 5yet seynge this weddowe is so importune vpon me, I wil delyuer her, lest she come at the last, and rayle vpon me. 6Then sayde the LORDE: Heare what ye vnrighteous iudge sayeth. 7But shall not God also delyuer his chosen, that crye vnto hi daye and night, though he differre the? 8I saye vnto you: He shal delyuer them, and that shortly. Neuertheles, whan the sonne of man cometh, suppose ye, that he shal fynde faith vpon earth?

10There wente vp two men in to the teple, to praye: the one a Pharise, the other a publican. 11The Pharise stode, and prayed by himself after this maner: I thanke the God, that I am not as other men, robbers, vnrighteous, aduouters, or as this publican. 12I fast twyse in the weke, I geue the tithes of all that I haue. 13And the publican stode afarre of, and wolde not lift vp his eyes to heauen, but smote vpon his brest, and sayde: God be thou mercyfull vnto me synner. 14I tell you: This man wente downe in to his house iustified more the the other. For who so euer exalteth himself, shalbe brought lowe: and he that humbleth himself, shalbe exalted.

15They brought yonge children also vnto him, that he shulde touch them. But whan the disciples sawe that, they rebuked them. 16Neuertheles Iesus called them vnto him, and sayde: Suffre childre to come vnto me, and forbyd the not, for of soch is ye kyngdome of God. 17Verely I saye vnto you: Whosoeuer receaueth not ye kyngdome of God as a childe, shal not enter therin.

There is no man good, but God onely. 20Thou knowest the comaundementes: Thou shalt not breake wedlocke: Thou shalt not kyll: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false wytnesse: Honoure thy father and yi mother. 21But he sayde: All these haue I kepte fro my youth vp. 22Wha Iesus herde that, he sayde vnto him: Yet lackest thou one thinge, sell all that thou hast, and geue it vnto ye poore, and thou shalt haue a treasure in heauen, and come & folowe me. 23Whan he herde that, he was sory, for he was very riche. 24Whan Iesus sawe that he was sory, he sayde: How hardly shal the riche come in to the kyngdome of God? 25It is easyer for a Camell to go thorow the eye of a nedle, the for a rich man to entre in to the kyngdome of God. 26Then sayde they yt herde that: Who can then be saued? 27But he sayde: loke what is vnpossible with me, is possible with God.

28Then sayde Peter: Beholde, we haue forsake all, and folowed the. 29He sayde vnto the: Verely I saye vnto you: There is no ma yt forsaketh house, or elders, or brethren, or wife, or children for the kyngdome of Gods sake, 30which shal not receaue moch more in this tyme, and euerlastinge life in the worlde to come.

31He toke vnto him the twolue, and sayde vnto them: Beholde, we go vp to Ierusale, and it shal all be fulfilled, that is wrytten by the prophetes of the sonne of man. 32For he shal be delyuered vnto ye Heythen, and shalbe mocked, and despytefully intreated, and spitted vpon: 33and whan they haue scourged him, they shal put him to death, and vpon the thirde daye shal he aryse agayne. 34And they vnderstode nothinge of these thinges. And this sayenge was hyd from them, and they perceaued not the thinges that were spoken.

35And it came to passe, whan he came nye vnto Iericho, there sat one blynde by the waye, and begged. 36And whan he herde the people passe by, he axed what it was. 37Then sayde they vnto him, that Iesus of Nazareth passed by. 38And he cryed, and sayde: Iesu thou sonne of Dauid, haue mercy vpon me. 39But the people that wente before, rebuked him, that he shulde holde his tunge.
