| 12:2 | But when the Pharises sawe it, they sayde vnto hym: Beholde, thy discyples do that which is not lawfull to do vpon the Sabboth daye. |
| 12:3 | But he sayde vnto them. Haue ye not read what Dauid dyd, when he was an hongred, & they that were with him? |
| 12:4 | How he entred into the house of God, and did eate the shewe breades which were not lawfull for hym to eate, nether for them which were with hym, but onely for the prestes? |
| 12:5 | Or haue ye not read in the lawe, how that (on the Sabath dayes) the preastes in the temple breake the Saboth, and are blamelesse? |
| 12:6 | But I saye vnto you: that in this place is one greater then the temple. |
| 12:7 | Wherfore, yf ye wyst what this meaneth I require mercy, & not sacrifice: ye wolde not haue condemned innocentes. |
| 12:8 | For the sonne of man also, is Lord euen of the Sabath daye. |
| 12:9 | And he departed thence and went into their synagoge: |
| 12:10 | and beholde, ther was a man which had his hande dried vp. And they asked hym, sayinge is it lawfull to heale vpon the Saboth dayes? that they myght accuse him. |
| 12:11 | And he sayde vnto them: which of you will it be, that shall haue. a shepe, and yf it fall into a pytte on the Saboth daye, wyl he not take it and lyft it out? |
| 12:12 | Howe moch more then is a man better then a shepe? Wherfore, it is lefull to do a good dede on the Saboth dayes. |
| 12:13 | Then sayeth he to the man: stretch forth thy hande. And he stretched it forth: And it was restored vnto health, lyke as the other. |
| 12:14 | Then the Pharises went out, and helde a counsell agaynst him, how they myght destroye him. |
| 12:15 | But when Iesus knewe it, he departed thence, and moche people folowed him, and he healed them all, |
| 12:16 | and charged them, that they shuld not make him knowen: |
| 12:17 | that it myght be fulfilled which was spoken by Esay the Prophet, which sayeth: |
| 12:18 | Beholde, my childe, whom I haue chosen, my beloued, in whom my soule deliteth. I wyll put my sprete vpon him, and he shall shewe iudgement to the gentyls. |
| 12:19 | He shal not stryue ner crye, nether shall eny man heare hys voyce in the stretes, |
| 12:20 | a brosed rede shall he not breake, and smokyng flax shall he not quenche, till he sende forth iudgement vnto victorie, |
| 12:21 | & in his name shall the gentyls trust. |
| 12:22 | Then was brought to him a blynd & domme man, that was vexed with a deuyll, & he healed him, in somoch, that the blynd and domme, both spake and sawe. |
| 12:23 | And all the people were amased, and sayde: Is not this that sonne of Dauid? |
| 12:24 | But when the Pharises hearde it, they sayd. This felow dryueth the deuyls no nother wyse out, but by the helpe of Belzebub the chefe of the deuyls. |
| 12:25 | But whan Iesus knewe their thoughtes he sayde vnto them: Euery kingdome deuided agaynst it selfe, shalbe brought to naught. And euery citie or house deuyded agaynst it selfe shall not stande. |
| 12:26 | And yf Satan cast out Satan, then is he deuided agaynst him selfe how shall then his kingdome endure? |
| 12:27 | Also, yf I by the helpe of Belzebub cast out deuyls, by whose helpe do youre chyldren cast them out? Therfore, they shalbe your iudges. |
| 12:28 | But yf I cast out the deuyls by the spryte of God: then is the kingdome of God come vnto you: |
| 12:29 | Or els how can one enter into a strong mannes house, and spoyle his Iewels, excepte he fyrst bynde the stronge man, and then spoyle his house? |
| 12:30 | He that is not with me, is agaynst me. And he that gathereth not with me, scattereth abrode. |
| 12:31 | Wherfore, I saye vnto you, all maner of synne and blasphemy shalbe forgeuen vnto men but the blasphemy agaynst the sprete, shall not be forgeuen vnto men. |
| 12:32 | And whosoeuer speaketh a worde agaynst the sonne of man, it shalbe forgeuen hym. But whosoeuer speaketh agaynst the holy gost, it shall not be forgeuen him, nether in this worlde, nether in the worlde to come: |
| 12:33 | Ether make the tree good, and his frute good, or els make the tree euyll, and hys frute euyll. For the tree is knowen by his frute. |
| 12:34 | O generacion of vypers, how can ye speake good thinges, when ye youre selues are euyll? For out of the aboundance of the hert, the mouth speaketh. |
| 12:35 | A good man out of the good treasure of the hert, bryngeth forth good thynges. And an euyll man, out of euyll treasure, bringeth forth euyll thynges. |
| 12:36 | But I say vnto you, of euery ydell worde that men shall haue spoken, they shall geue acountes in the daye of iudgement. |
| 12:37 | For out of thy wordes thou shalt be iustifyed: and out of thy wordes thou shalt be condemned. |
| 12:38 | Then certayne of the Scribes and of the Pharises asked him saying. Master, we wyll se a sygne of the. |
| 12:39 | But he answered and sayde to them. The euyll and aduouterous generacion seketh a signe and ther shall no sygne be geuen to them, but the signe of the Prophet Ionas. |
| 12:40 | For as Ionas was thre dayes and thre nightes in the whales belly, so shall the sonne of man be thre dayes and thre nightes in the herte of the erth. |
| 12:41 | The men of niniue shall ryse in the iudgement with this nacion, & condemne it, because they amended at the preachyng of Ionas. Beholde, here is one greater then Ionas. |
| 12:42 | The quene of the south shall rise in the iudgement with this generacion, and shall condemne it: for she came from the vtmost partes of the worlde to heare the wysdome of Salomon. And behold, in this place is one greater then Salomon. |
| 12:43 | When the vnclene spryte is gone out of a man, he walketh throughout drye places, sekyng rest, and findeth none. |
| 12:44 | Then he saieth: I will retourne into my house, from whence I came out. And when he is come, he fyndeth it empty, and swepte, and garnisshed. |
| 12:45 | Then goeth he, and taketh vnto him seuen other spretes worse then him selfe, and so entreth he in, and dwelleth there. And the ende of that man is worse then the begynning. Euen so shall it be also, vnto this froward generacion. |
| 12:46 | Whyle he yet talked to the people: beholde his mother and his brethren stode without, desyringe to speake with him. |
| 12:47 | Then one sayde vnto him beholde, thy mother and thy brethren stande without, desyringe to speake with the: |
| 12:48 | But he answered, & sayde vnto him that had tolde him. Who is my mother? or who are my brethren? |
| 12:49 | And he stretched forth hys hand towarde his disciples, & sayd. beholde my mother and my brethren. |

| 12:3 | And he seide to hem, Whether ye han not red, what Dauid dide, whanne he hungride, and thei that weren with hym? |
| 12:4 | hou he entride in to the hous of God, and eet looues of proposicioun, whiche looues it was not leueful to hym to ete, nether to hem that weren with hym, but to prestis aloone? |
| 12:5 | Or whether ye han not red in the lawe, that in sabotis prestis in the temple defoulen the sabotis, and thei ben with oute blame? |
| 12:6 | And Y seie to you, that here is a gretter than the temple. |
| 12:7 | And if ye wisten, what it is, Y wole merci, and not sacrifice, ye schulden neuer haue condempned innocentis. |

| 12:11 | And he seide to hem, What man of you schal be, that hath o scheep, and if it falle in to a diche in the sabotis, whether he shal not holde, and lifte it vp? |
| 12:12 | How myche more is a man better than a scheep? Therfor it is leueful to do good in the sabatis. |

| 12:16 | And he comaundide to hem, that thei schulden not make hym knowun; |
| 12:17 | that that thing were fulfillid, that was seid by Isaie, the prophete, seiynge, Lo! |
| 12:18 | my child, whom Y haue chosun, my derling, in whom it hath wel plesid to my soule; Y shal put my spirit on him, and he shal telle dom to hethen men. |
| 12:19 | He shal not stryue, ne crye, nethir ony man shal here his voice in stretis. |
| 12:20 | A brisid rehed he shal not breke, and he schal not quenche smokynge flax, til he caste out doom to victorie; |
| 12:21 | and hethene men schulen hope in his name. |

| 12:27 | And if Y in Belsabub caste out deuelis, in `whom youre sones casten out? Therfor thei schulen be youre domes men. |
| 12:28 | But if Y in the Spirit of God caste out feendis, thanne the kyngdom of God is comen in to you. |

| 12:30 | He that is not with me, is ayens me; and he that gaderith not togidere with me, scaterith abrood. |
| 12:31 | Therfor I seie to you, al synne and blasfemye shal be foryouun to men, but `the spirit of blasfemye shal not be foryouun. |
| 12:32 | And who euere seith a word ayens mannus sone, it shal be foryouun to him; but who that seieth a word ayens the Hooli Goost, it shal not be foryouun to hym, nether in this world, ne in `the tothir. |
| 12:33 | Ethir make ye the tree good, and his fruyt good; ether make ye the tree yuel and his fruyt yuel; for a tree is knowun of the fruyt. |
| 12:34 | Ye generacioun of eddris, hou moun ye speke goode thingis, whanne ye ben yuele? For the mouth spekith of plente of the herte. |
| 12:35 | A good man bryngith forth good thingis of good tresoure, and an yuel man bringith forth yuel thingis of yuel tresoure. |

| 12:38 | Thanne summe of the scribis and Farisees answeriden to hym, and seiden, Mayster, we wolen se a tokne of thee. |
| 12:39 | Which answeride, and seide to hem, An yuel kynrede and a spouse brekere sekith a tokene, and a tokene shal not be youun to it, but the tokene of Jonas, the prophete. |
| 12:40 | For as Jonas was in the wombe of a whal thre daies and thre nyytis, so mannus sone shal be in the herte of the erthe thre daies and thre nyytis. |
| 12:41 | Men of Nynyue schulen rise in doom with this generacioun, and schulen condempne it; for thei diden penaunce in the prechyng of Jonas, and lo! here a gretter than Jonas. |
| 12:42 | The queene of the south shal rise in doom with this generacioun, and schal condempne it; for she cam fro the eendis of the erthe to here the wisdom of Salomon, and lo! here a gretter than Salomon. |
| 12:43 | Whanne an vnclene spirit goith out fro a man, he goith bi drie places, `and sekith rest, and fyndith not. |

| 12:45 | Thanne he goith, and takith with him seuene othere spiritis worse than hym silf; and thei entren, and dwellen there. And the laste thingis of that man ben maad worse than the formere. So it shal be to this worste generacioun. |
| 12:46 | Yit whil he spak to the puple, lo! his modir and his bretheren stoden withouteforth, sekynge to speke to hym. |
| 12:47 | And a man seide to hym, Lo! thi modir and thi britheren stonden withouteforth, sekynge thee. |
| 12:48 | He answeride to the man, that spak to hym, and seide, Who is my modir? and who ben my britheren? |
| 12:49 | And he helde forth his hoond in to hise disciplis, and seide, Lo! my modir and my bretheren; |
| 12:50 | for who euer doith the wille of my fadir that is in heuenes, he is my brothir, and sistir, and modir. |
| 12:1 | At the same tyme wete Iesus thorow the corne vpon the Sabbath, and his disciples were hongrie, and beganne to plucke of the eares of the corne, and to eate. |
| 12:2 | When ye Pharises sawe that, they sayde vnto him: Beholde, thy disciples do that, which is not laufull to do vpon the Sabbath. |
| 12:3 | He sayde vnto them: haue ye not red what Dauid did, whan he was hongrie, & they also yt were with him? |
| 12:4 | How he entred in to the house of God, & ate the shew breds which were not laufull for him to eate, nether for the yt were with him, but onely for the prestes? |
| 12:5 | Or haue ye not red in the lawe how that the prestes in the temple breake the Sabbath, and yet are blamelesse? |
| 12:6 | But I saye vnto you: yt here is one greater then the temple. |
| 12:7 | But yf ye wyst what this were (I haue pleasure in mercy, and not in offeringe) ye wolde not haue condemned innocentes: |
| 12:8 | For the sonne of man is LORDE euen ouer the Sabbath. |
| 12:9 | And he departed thence, and wente in to their synagoge: |
| 12:10 | and beholde, there was a ma which had his hade dryed vp. And they axed him, sayenge: Is it laufull to heale, vpon the Sabbath? because they might accuse him. |
| 12:11 | But he sayde vnto the: Which of you is it, yf he had a shepe falle in to a pytte vpon the Sabbath, that wolde not take him, and lift him out? |
| 12:12 | And how moch is a man better then a shepe? Therfore it is lefull to do good vpon the Sabbath. |
| 12:13 | Then sayde he to the ma: Stretch forth thine hande. And he stretched it forth: and it was whole agayne like vnto the other. |
| 12:14 | Then wente the Pharises out, and helde a councell agaynst him, how they might destroye him. |
| 12:15 | But wha Iesus knew therof, he departed thence, & moch people folowed him: and he healed them all, |
| 12:16 | and charged them, yt they shulde not make him knowne: |
| 12:17 | that the thinge might be fulfylled, which was spoken by Esay the prophet, which sayeth: |
| 12:18 | Beholde, this is my seruaunt, whom I haue chosen: and my beloued, in whom my soule delyteth: I wil put my sprete vpon hi, and he shal shewe iudgment vnto the Heithe. |
| 12:19 | He shal not stryue, ner crye, nether shal eny man heare his voyce in the stretes. |
| 12:20 | A brosed rede shal he not breake, and flax that beginneth to burne shal he not quench, tyll he sende forth iudgment vnto victory. |
| 12:21 | And in his name shal the Heithen trust. |
| 12:22 | Then was there brought vnto him one possessed (of a deuell) the which was blynde and domne, and he healed him: in so moch yt ye blynde and domne both spake and sawe. |
| 12:23 | And all the people were amased, and sayde: Is not this the sonne of Dauid? |
| 12:24 | But whan the Pharises herde that, they sayde: He dryueth the deuyls out none other wyse, but thorow Beelzebub the chefe of the deuyls. |
| 12:25 | Neuertheles Iesus knew their thoughtes, and sayde vnto them: Euery kyngdome deuyded within it self, shalbe desolate: and euery cite or house deuyded in it self, maye not contynue. |
| 12:26 | So yf one Sathan cast out another, the is he at variaunce within him self: how maye then his kyngdome endure? |
| 12:27 | But yf I cast out deuils thorow Beelzebub, thorow whom do youre childre cast them out? Therfore shal they be youre iudges. |
| 12:28 | But yf I cast out the deuyls by the sprete of God then is the kyngdome of God come vpon you. |
| 12:29 | Or how ca a man entre in to a stronge mans house, and violently take awaye his goodes, excepte he first bynde the stronge ma, & the spoyle his house? |
| 12:30 | He that is not wt me, is agaynst me: & he yt gathereth not wt me, scatereth abrode. |
| 12:31 | Therfore I saye vnto you: All synne and blasphemy shalbe forgeuen vnto men, but the blasphemy agaynst the sprete shal not be forgeuen vnto men: |
| 12:32 | And whosoeuer speaketh a worde agaynst the sonne of man, it shalbe forgeue him. But whosoeuer speaketh agaynst the holy goost it shal not be forgeuen him, nether in this worlde, ner in the worlde to come. |
| 12:33 | Either make the tre good and his frute good also, or els make the tre euel & his frute euel also. For the tre is knowne by the frute. |
| 12:34 | O ye generacio of vypers, how can ye speake good, whan ye youre selues are euell? For of ye abundace of ye hert ye mouth speaketh. |
| 12:35 | A good man out of the good treasure of his hert, bringeth forth good thinges: & an euel man out of his euell treasure, bringeth forth euell thinges. |
| 12:36 | But I saye vnto you, that of euery ydell worde that me haue spoken, they shal geue accomptes at ye daye of iudgmet. |
| 12:37 | Out of thy wordes thou shalt be iustified, & out of thy wordes thou shalt be codemned. |
| 12:38 | Then answered certayne of the scrybes and Pharises, and sayde: Master, we wolde fayne se a toke of the. |
| 12:39 | And he answered and saide vnto the: This euell and aduouterous generacion seketh a token: and there shal no token be geuen the, but the token of the prophete Ionas. |
| 12:40 | For as Ionas was thre dayes and thre nightes in the Whalles bely, so shal the sonne of ma be thre dayes and thre nightes in the hert of the earth. |
| 12:41 | The men of Ninyue shal ryse in the last iudgment with this generacion, and shal condemne it: for they dyd penaunce acordinge to ye preachinge of Ionas. And beholde, here is one greater the Ionas. |
| 12:42 | The quene of the south shal aryse in the last iudgmet with this generacion, and shal condene it: for she came from the vttemost partes of the earth, to heare ye wyssdome of Salomon: And lo, here is one greater then Salomon. |
| 12:43 | Whan the vncleane sprete is gone out of man, he walketh thorow dry places, sekinge rest, & fyndeth none. |
| 12:44 | The saieth he: I wil turne agayne in to my house, fro whence I wete out. And whan he cometh, he fyndeth it emptye, swepte and garnyshed. |
| 12:45 | Then goeth he his waye, & taketh vnto him seuen other spretes worse then him self: and whan they are entred in, they dwell there: And the ende of that man is worse then the begynnynge. Euen so shal it go wt this euell generacion. |
| 12:46 | Whyle he yet talked vnto the people, beholde, his mother & his brethre stode without desyringe to speake wt him. |
| 12:47 | Then sayde one vnto him: Beholde, thy mother and thy brethren stonde without, & wolde speake wt the. |
| 12:48 | Neuertheles he answered & sayde vnto him that tolde him: Who is my mother? & who are my brethren? |
| 12:49 | And he stretched forth his hande ouer his disciples, & sayde: Beholde my mother and my brethre. |
| 12:50 | For who soeuer doth ye wyll of my father which is in heaue, the same is my brother, sister and mother. |
