Luke - Chapter: 12


12:1	In the meane time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one vpon another, he began to say vnto his disciples first of all, Beware yee of the leauen of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisie.
12:2	For there is nothing couered, that shall not be reuealed, neither hid, that shall not be knowen.
12:3	Therefore, whatsoeuer yee haue spoken in darkenesse, shall bee heard in the light: and that which yee haue spoken in the eare, in closets, shal be proclaimed vpon the house tops.
12:4	And I say vnto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that, haue no more that they can doe.
12:5	But I will forewarne you whom you shall feare: Feare him, which after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell, yea, I say vnto you, Feare him.
12:6	Are not fiue sparrowes solde for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
12:7	But euen the very haires of your head are all numbred: Feare not therefore, ye are of more value then many sparrowes.
12:8	Also I say vnto you, Whosoeuer shall confesse me before men, him shall the Sonne of man also confesse before the Angels of God.
12:9	But he that denieth me before men, shalbe denied before the Angels of God.
12:10	And whosoeuer shall speake a word against the Sonne of man, it shall be forgiuen him: but vnto him that blasphemeth against the holy Ghost, it shal not be forgiuen.
12:11	And when they bring you vnto the Synagogues, and vnto Magistrates, & powers, take yee no thought how or what thing ye shall answere, or what ye shall say:
12:12	For the holy Ghost shal teach you in the same houre, what ye ought to say.
12:13	And one of the company saide vnto him, Master, speake to my brother, that he diuide the inheritance with me.
12:14	And he said vnto him, Man, who made mee a iudge, or a diuider ouer you?
12:15	And he said vnto them, Take heed and beware of couetousnes: for a mans life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
12:16	And he spake a parable vnto them, saying, The ground of a certaine rich man brought foorth plentifully.
12:17	And he thought within himselfe, saying, What shall I doe, because I haue no roome where to bestow my fruits?
12:18	And he said, This will I doe, I will pull downe my barnes, and build greater, and there will I bestow all my fruits, and my goods.
12:19	And I will say to my soule, Soule, thou hast much goods layd vp for many yeeres, take thine ease, eate, drinke, and be merry.
12:20	But God said vnto him, Thou foole, this night thy soule shal be required of thee: then whose shal those things be which thou hast prouided?
12:21	So is he that laieth vp treasure for himselfe, and is not rich towards God.
12:22	And he said vnto his disciples, Therefore I say vnto you, Take no thought for your life what yee shall eate, neither for the body what yee shall put on.
12:23	The life is more then meate, and the body is more then raiment.
12:24	Consider the rauens, for they neither sow nor reape, which neither haue storehouse nor barne, and God feedeth them: How much more are yee better then the foules?
12:25	And which of you with taking thought can adde to his stature one cubite?
12:26	If yee then bee not able to doe that thing which is least, why take yee thought for the rest?
12:27	Consider the Lillies how they growe, they toile not; they spinne not: and yet I say vnto you, that Solomon in all his glory, was not arayed like one of these.
12:28	If then God so clothe the grasse, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the ouen: how much more will he clothe you, O ye of litle faith?
12:29	And seeke not yee what yee shall eate, or what ye shall drinke, neither be ye of doubtfull minde.
12:30	For all these things doe the nations of the world seeke after: and your father knoweth that yee haue neede of these things.
12:31	But rather seeke yee the kingdome of God, and all these things shall be added vnto you.
12:32	Feare not, litle flocke, for it is your fathers good pleasure to giue you the kingdome.
12:33	Sell that yee haue, and giue almes: prouide your selues bagges which waxe not old, a treasure in the heauens that faileth not, where no theefe approcheth, neither moth corrupteth.
12:34	For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
12:35	Let your loines be girded about, and your lights burning,
12:36	And ye your selues like vnto men that waite for their Lord, when he will returne from the wedding, that when he commeth and knocketh, they may open vnto him immediately.
12:37	Blessed are those seruants, whom the Lord when he commeth, shall find watching: Uerily, I say vnto you, That he shall girde himselfe, and make them to sit downe to meate, and will come foorth and serue them.
12:38	And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those seruants.
12:39	And this know, that if the good man of the house had knowen what houre the theefe would come, he would haue watched, and not haue suffred his house to be broken thorow.
12:40	Be yee therefore ready also: for the sonne of man commeth at an houre when yee thinke not.
12:41	Then Peter said vnto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable vnto vs, or euen to all?
12:42	And the Lord said, Who then is that faithfull and wise steward, whom his Lord shall make ruler ouer his houshold, to giue them their portion of meate in due season?
12:43	Blessed is that seruant, whom his Lord when he commeth, shall find so doing.
12:44	Of a trueth, I say vnto you, that hee will make him ruler ouer all that he hath.
12:45	But and if that seruant say in his heart, My Lord delayeth his comming and shall beginne to beat the men seruants, and maidens, and to eate and drinke, and to be drunken:
12:46	The Lord of that seruant will come in a day when hee looketh not for him, and at an houre when hee is not ware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the vnbeleeuers.
12:47	And that seruant which knew his Lords will, and prepared not himselfe, neither did according to his will, shalbe beaten with many stripes.
12:48	But hee that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall bee beaten with few stripes. For vnto whomsoeuer much is giuen, of him shal bee much required: and to whom men haue committed much, of him they will aske the more.
12:49	I am come to send fire on the earth, and what will I, if it be already kindled?
12:50	But I haue a baptisme to be baptized with, and how am I straitned till it be accomplished?
12:51	Suppose yee that I am come to giue peace on earth? I tell you, Nay, but rather diuision.
12:52	For from henceforth there shalbe fiue in one house diuided, three against two, and two against three.
12:53	The father shall bee diuided against the sonne, and the sonne against the father: the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother: the mother in lawe against her daughter in lawe, and the daughter in law against her mother in lawe.
12:54	And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the West, straightway yee say, There commeth a showre, and so it is.
12:55	And when ye see the Southwind blow, ye say, There will be heat, and it commeth to passe.
12:56	Ye hypocrites, ye can discerne the face of the skie, and of the earth: but how is it that yee doe not discerne this time?
12:57	Yea, and why euen of your selues iudge ye not what is right?
12:58	When thou goest with thine aduersary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, giue diligence that thou mayest be deliuered from him, lest hee hale thee to the Iudge, and the Iudge deliuer thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
12:59	I tell thee, Thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast payd the very last mite.


12:1	There were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, in so moch that they trode one another: Then beganne he, and sayde first vnto his disciples: Bewarre of the leuen of the Pharises, which is ypocrisye.
12:2	But there is nothinge hyd, that shal not be discouered: nether secrete, that shal not be knowne.
12:3	Therfore whatsoeuer ye haue spoke in darknesse, that same shal be herde in light: and that ye haue spoken in to the eare in the chabers, shalbe preached vpon the house toppes.
12:4	But I saye vnto you my frendes: Be not afrayed of them that kyll the body, and after that haue nomore that they can do.
12:5	But I wil shewe you, whom ye shal feare. Feare him, which after he hath kylled, hath power also to cast in to hell: Yee I saye vnto you: Feare him.
12:6	Are not fyue sparowes bought for two farthinges? Yet is not one of them forgotten before God.
12:7	The very hayres of youre heade also are nombred euery one. Feare not therfore, for ye are better then many sparowes.
12:8	I saye vnto you: Who so euer knowlegeth me before men, him shal the sonne of ma also knowlege before the angels of God:
12:9	But he that denyeth me before men, shalbe denyed before the angels of God.
12:10	And who so euer speaketh a worde agaynst the sonne of man, it shalbe forgeuen him: But who so blasphemeth the holy goost, it shal not be forgeuen him.
12:11	Whan they brynge you in to their synagoges, and to the rulers & officers, take ye no thought, how or what ye shal answere, or what ye shal speake:
12:12	for the holy goost shal teach you in the same houre, what ye ought to saye.
12:13	But one of the people sayde vnto him: Master, byd my brother deuyde the enheritaunce with me.
12:14	Neuertheles he sayde vnto him: Man, who hath set me to be a iudge or heretage parter ouer you?
12:15	And he sayde vnto them: Take hede, and bewarre of couetousnesse, for no man lyueth therof, that he hath abundaunce of goodes.
12:16	And he tolde them a symilitude, and sayde: There was a riche man, whose felde had brought forth frutes plenteously,
12:17	and he thought in himself, and sayde: What shal I do? I haue nothinge wher in to gather my frutes.
12:18	And he sayde: This wil I do, I wil breake downe my barnes, & buylde greater, and therin wil I gather all myne increace, & my goodes,
12:19	& wil saye vnto my soule: Soule, thou hast moch goodes layed vp in stoare for many yeares, take now thine ease, eate, drinke, and be mery.
12:20	But God sayde vnto him: Thou foole, this night shal they requyre thy soule from the, and whose shal it be that thou hast prepared?
12:21	Thus goeth it with him yt gathereth treasure for himself, and is not riche in God.
12:22	But he sayde vnto his disciples: Therfore I saye vnto you: Take ye no thought for youre life, what ye shal eate: nether for youre body, what ye shal put on.
12:23	The life is more then meate, and the body more then raymet.
12:24	Consydre the rauens, they nether sowe ner reape, they haue also nether stoare house ner barne, and yet God fedeth them. But how moch better are ye then the foules?
12:25	Which of you (though he toke thought therfore) coulde put one cubyte vnto his stature?
12:26	Seinge then ye be not able to do that which is least, why take ye thought for the other?
12:27	Considre the lilies vpo the felde, how they growe: they laboure not, they spynne not. But I saye vnto you: that euen Salomen in all his royalte was not clothed like one of these.
12:28	Wherfore yf God so cloth the grasse, yt is to daye in ye felde, and tomorow shalbe cast in to the fornace, how moch more shal he clothe you, o ye of litle faith?
12:29	Axe not ye therfore what ye shal eate, or what ye shal drynke, and clymme not vp an hye:
12:30	The Heithen in the worlde seke after all soch thinges.
12:31	But seke ye the kyngdome of God, and all these shal be mynistred vnto you.
12:32	Feare not thou litle flocke, for it is youre fathers pleasure to geue you the kyngdome.
12:33	Sell that ye haue, and geue almesse. Make you bagges, which waxe not olde: euen a treasure that neuer fayleth in heauen, where no thefe commeth, and no moth corruppeth:
12:34	for where youre treasure is, there wil youre hert be also.
12:35	Let youre loynes be gerded aboute, and youre lightes burnynge,
12:36	and be ye like vnto men that wayte for their lorde, agaynst he returne from the mariage, that whan he cometh & knocketh, they maye straight waye open vnto him.
12:37	Blessed are those seruauntes, whom the LORDE (whan he cometh) shal fynde wakynge. Verely I saye vnto you: He shal gyrde vp him self, and make them syt downe at the table, and shal go by them, and mynister vnto them.
12:38	And yf he come in the seconde watch, and in the thirde watch, and fynde them so, blessed are those seruauntes.
12:39	But be sure of this, that yf the good man of the house knewe, what houre the thefe wolde come, he wolde surely watch, and not suffre his house to be broken vp.
12:40	Therfore be ye ready also, for at an houre whan ye thynke not, shal the sonne of man come.
12:41	But Peter sayde vnto him: LORDE, tellest thou this symilitude vnto vs, or to all men also?
12:42	The LORDE sayde: How greate a thinge is a faithfull and wyse stewarde, whom his lorde setteth ouer his houssholde, to geue the their dewtye in due season?
12:43	Blessed is that seruaunt, whom his lorde (whan he cometh) shal fynde so doynge.
12:44	Verely I saye vnto you: he shal set him ouer all his goodes.
12:45	But yf the same seruaut shal saye in his hert: Tush, it wil be longe or my lorde come, and shal begynne to smyte ye seruauntes and maydens, yee & to eate and drynke,& to be dronke:
12:46	the same seruauntes lorde shal come in a daye whan he loketh not for him, and in an houre that he is not aware of, & shal hew him in peces, and geue him his rewarde with the vnbeleuers.
12:47	The seruaunt that knewe his lordes wil and prepared not himself, nether dyd acordinge to his will, shal be beaten with many strypes:
12:48	But he that knewe it not, and yet dyd thinges worthy of strypes, shal be beaten with few strypes. For loke vnto whom moch is geuen, of him shal moch be sought: and loke to whom moch is commytted, of him shal moch be requyred.
12:49	I am come to kyndle fyre vpo earth, and what wolde I rather, the that it were kyndled allready.
12:50	Notwithstodinge I must first be baptised with a baptyme, and how am I payned tyll it be ended?
12:51	Thynke ye, that I am come to brynge peace vpon earth? I tell you nay, but rather debate.
12:52	For from hence forth there shal be at varyauce in one house: thre agaynst two, and two agaynst thre.
12:53	The father shal be deuyded agaynst ye sonne, and the sonne agaynst the father: the mother agaynst the doughter, & the doughter agaynst the mother: the mother in lawe agaynst hir doughter in lawe, and ye doughter in lawe agaynst hir mother in lawe.
12:54	And he sayde vnto the people: Whan ye se a cloude ryse out of ye west, straight waye ye saye: there cometh a shower, and so it is:
12:55	and whan ye se the southwynde blowe, ye saye: It wil be hote, and it commeth so to passe.
12:56	O ye ypocrytes, ye can discerne the fashion of the skye and of the earth: Why can ye not discerne this tyme also?
12:57	Yee and why iugde ye not of youre selues, what is right?
12:58	Whyle thou goest with thine aduersary vnto the Prynce, geue diligece by the waye, that thou mayest be quyte of him, lest he brynge the before the iudge, and the iudge delyuer the to the iaylar, and the iaylar cast the in to preson.
12:59	I tell the, thou shalt uot come out thence, tyll thou paye the vttemost myte.


12:1	And whanne myche puple stood aboute, so that thei treden ech on othir, he bigan to seie to hise disciplis, Be ye war of the sourdouy of the Farisees, that is ypocrisie.
12:2	For no thing is hilid, that schal not be schewid; nether hid, that schal not be wist.
12:3	For whi tho thingis that ye han seid in derknessis, schulen be seid in liyt; and that that ye han spokun in eere in the couchis, schal be prechid in roofes.
12:4	And Y seie to you, my freendis, be ye not a ferd of hem that sleen the bodie, and aftir these thingis han no more what thei schulen do.
12:5	But Y schal schewe to you, whom ye schulen drede; drede ye hym, that aftir he hath slayn, he hath power to sende in to helle. And so Y seie to you, drede ye hym.
12:6	Whether fyue sparowis ben not seld for twei halpens; and oon of hem is not in foryetyng bifor God?
12:7	But also alle the heeris of youre heed ben noumbrid. Therfor nyle ye drede; ye ben of more prijs than many sparowis.
12:8	Treuli Y seie to you, ech man that knoulechith me bifor men, mannus sone schal knouleche hym bifor the aungels of God.
12:9	But he that denyeth me bifor men, schal be denyed bifor the aungels of God.
12:10	And ech that seith a word ayens mannus sone, it schal be foryouun to hym; but it schal not be foryouun to hym, that blasfemeth ayens the Hooli Goost.
12:11	And whanne thei leden you in to synagogis, and to magistratis, and potestatis, nyle ye `be bisie, hou or what ye schulen answere, or what ye schulen seie.
12:12	For the Hooli Goost schal teche you in that our, what it bihoueth you to seie.
12:13	And oon of the puple seide to hym, Maystir, seie to my brothir, that he departe with me the eritage.
12:14	And he seyde to hym, Man, who ordeynede me a domesman, or a departere, on you?
12:15	And he seide to hem, Se ye, and be ye war of al coueytice; for the lijf of a man is not in the abundaunce of tho thingis, whiche he weldith.
12:16	And he tolde to hem a liknesse, and seide, The feeld of a riche man brouyte forth plenteuouse fruytis.
12:17	And he thouyte with ynne hym silf, and seide, What schal Y do, for Y haue not whidur Y schal gadere my fruytis?
12:18	And he seith, This thing Y schal do; Y schal throwe doun my bernes, and Y schal make gretter, and thidir Y schal gadir alle thingis that growen to me, and my goodis.
12:19	And Y schal seie to my soule, Soule, thou hast many goodis kept in to ful many yeeris; rest thou, ete, drynke, and make feeste.
12:20	And God seide to hym, Fool, in this nyyt thei schulen take thi lijf fro thee. And whos schulen tho thingis be, that thou hast arayed?
12:21	So is he that tresourith to hym silf, and is not riche in God.
12:22	And he seide to hise disciplis, Therfor Y seie to you, nyle ye be bisy to youre lijf, what ye schulen ete, nether to youre bodi, with what ye schulen be clothid.
12:23	The lijf is more than mete, and the body more than clothing.
12:24	Biholde ye crowis, for thei sowen not, nethir repen, to whiche is no celer, ne berne, and God fedith hem. Hou myche more ye ben of more prijs than thei.
12:25	And who of you bithenkynge may put to o cubit to his stature?
12:26	Therfor if ye moun not that that is leest, what ben ye bisie of othere thingis?
12:27	Biholde ye the lilies of the feeld, hou thei wexen; thei trauelen not, nethir spynnen. And Y seie to you, that nethir Salomon in al his glorie was clothid as oon of these.
12:28	And if God clothith thus the hey, that to dai is in the feeld, and to morewe is cast in to an ouen; hou myche more you of litil feith.
12:29	And nyle ye seke, what ye schulen ete, or what ye schulen drynke; and nyle ye be reisid an hiy.
12:30	For folkis of the world seken alle these thingis; `and your fadir woot, that ye neden alle these thingis.
12:31	Netheles seke ye first the kyngdom of God, and alle these thingis schulen be caste to you.
12:32	Nile ye, litil flok, drede, for it pleside to youre fadir to yyue you a kyngdom.
12:33	Selle ye tho thingis that ye han in possessioun, and yyue ye almes. And make to you sachels that wexen not oolde, tresoure that failith not in heuenes, whidir a theef neiyith not, nether mouyt destruyeth.
12:34	For where is thi tresoure, there thin herte schal be.
12:35	Be youre leendis gird aboue, and lanternes brennynge in youre hoondis;
12:36	and be ye lijk to men that abiden her lord, whanne he schal turne ayen fro the weddyngis, that whanne he schal come, and knocke, anoon thei openen to hym.
12:37	Blessid be tho seruauntis, that whanne the lord schal come, he schal fynde wakynge. Treuli Y seie to you, that he schal girde hym silf, and make hem sitte to mete, and he schal go, and serue hem.
12:38	And if he come in the secounde wakynge, and if he come in the thridde wakynge, and fynde so, tho seruauntis ben blessid.
12:39	And wite ye this thing, for if an hosebonde man wiste, in what our the theef wolde come, sotheli he schulde wake, and not suffre his hous to be myned.
12:40	And be ye redi, for in what our ye gessen not, mannus sone schal come.
12:41	And Petre seide to hym, Lord, seist thou this parable to vs, or to alle?
12:42	And the Lord seide, Who, gessist thou, is a trewe dispendere, and a prudent, whom the lord hath ordeyned on his meyne, to yyue hem in tyme mesure of whete?
12:43	Blessid is that seruaunt, that the lord whanne he cometh, schal fynde so doynge.
12:44	Verili Y seie to you, that on alle thingis that he weldith, he schal ordeyne hym.
12:45	That if that seruaunt seie in his herte, My lord tarieth to come; and bigynne to smyte children, and handmaydenes, and ete, and drynke, and be fulfillid ouer mesure,
12:46	the lord of that seruaunt schal come, in the dai that he hopith not, and the our that he woot not; and schal departe hym, and putte his part with vnfeithful men.
12:47	But thilke seruaunt that knew the wille of his lord, and made not hym redi, and dide not aftir his wille, schal be betun with many betyngis.
12:48	But he that knew not, and dide worthi thingis of strokis, schal be betun with fewe. For to eche man to whom myche is youun, myche schal be axid of hym; and thei schulen axe more of hym, to whom thei bitoken myche.
12:49	Y cam to sende fier `in to the erthe, and what wole Y, but that it be kyndlid?
12:50	And Y haue to be baptisid with a baptysm, and hou am Y constreyned, til that it be perfitli don?
12:51	Wene ye, that Y cam to yyue pees in to erthe? Nay, Y say to you, but departyng.
12:52	For fro this tyme ther schulen be fyue departid in oon hous; thre schulen be departid ayens tweyne, and tweyne schulen be departid ayens thre;
12:53	the fadir ayens the sone, and the sone ayens the fadir; the modir ayens the douytir, and the douytir ayens the modir; the hosebondis modir ayens the sones wijf, and and the sones wijf ayens hir hosebondis modir.
12:54	And he seide also to the puple, Whanne ye seen a cloude risynge fro the sunne goynge doun, anoon ye seien, Reyn cometh; and so it is don.
12:55	And whanne ye seen the south blowynge, ye seien, That heete schal be; and it is don.
12:56	Ypocritis, ye kunnen preue the face of heuene and of erthe, but hou preuen ye not this tyme.
12:57	But what and of you silf ye demen not that that is iust?
12:58	But whanne thou goist with thin aduersarie in the weie to the prince, do bisynesse to be delyuerid fro hym; lest perauenture he take thee to the domesman, and the domesman bitake thee to the maistirful axer, and the maistirful axer sende thee in to prisoun.
12:59	Y seie to thee, thou schalt not go fro thennus, til thou yelde the laste ferthing.
