Luke - Chapter: 12


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.


12:1	As ther gadered together an innumerable multitude of people (in so moche that they trood one another) he began to saye vnto his disciples: Fyrst of all beware of the leve of the Pharises which is ypocrisy.
12:2	For ther is no thinge covered that shall not be vncovered: nether hyd that shall not be knowen.
12:3	For whatsoever ye have spoken in in darknes: that same shalbe hearde in light. And that which ye have spoken in the the eare eve in secret places shalbe preached even on the toppe of the housses.
12:4	I saye vnto you my fredes: Be not afrayde of them that kyll the body and after that have no moare that they can do.
12:5	But I will shewe you whom ye shall feare. Feare him which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell. Ye I saye vnto you him feare.
12:6	Are not five sparowes bought for two farthinges? And yet not one of them is forgotten of God.
12:7	Also even the very heres of youre heedes are nombred. Feare not therfore: ye are moare of value then many sparowes.
12:8	I saye vnto you: Whosoever confesseth me before men eve him shall ye sonne of man confesse also before ye angels of God.
12:9	And he that denyeth me before men: shalbe denyed before ye angels of God.
12:10	And whosoever speaketh a worde agaynst ye sonne of ma it shalbe forgeven him. But vnto him yt blasphemeth the holy goost it shall not be forgeven.
12:11	When they bringe you vnto the synagoges and vnto the rulers and officers take no thought how or what thinge ye shall answer or what ye shall speake.
12:12	For the holy goost shall teache you in the same houre what ye ought to saye.
12:13	One of the company sayde vnto hym: Master byd my brother devide the enheritauce with me.
12:14	And he sayde vnto him: Man who made me a iudge or a devider over you?
12:15	Wherfore he sayde vnto them: take hede and beware of covetousnes. For no mannes lyfe stondeth in the aboundaunce of the thinges which he possesseth.
12:16	And he put forth a similitude vnto them sayinge: The groude of a certayne riche ma brought forth frutes plenteously
12:17	and he thought in himsilfe sayinge: what shall I do? because I have noo roume where to bestowe my frutes?
12:18	And he sayde: This will I do. I will destroye my barnes and bilde greater and therin will I gadder all my frutes and my goodes:
12:19	and I will saye to my soule: Soule thou hast moch goodes layde vp in stoore for many yeares take thyne ease: eate drinke and be mery.
12:20	But God sayde vnto him: Thou fole this night will they fetche awaye thy soule agayne from the. Then whose shall thoose thinges be which thou hast provyded?
12:21	So is it with him that gadereth ryches and is not ryche in God.
12:22	And he spake vnto his disciples: Therfore I saye vnto you: take no thought for youre lyfe what ye shall eate nether for youre body what ye shall put on.
12:23	The lyfe is moare then meate and the bodye is moare then rayment.
12:24	Considre the ravens for they nether sowe nor repe which nether have stoorehousse ner barne and yet God fedeth them. How moche are ye better then the foules.
12:25	Which of you with takynge thought can adde to his stature one cubit?
12:26	Yf ye then be not able to do that thinge which is least: why take ye thought for the remmaunt?
12:27	Considre the lylies how they growe: They laboure not: they spyn not: and yet I saye vnto you that Salomon in all this royalte was not clothed lyke to one of these.
12:28	Yf the grasse which is todaye in the felde and tomorowe shalbe cast into the fornace God so clothe: how moche moore will he clothe you o ye endued wt litell faith?
12:29	And axe not what ye shall eate or what ye shall drinke nether clyme ye vp an hye
12:30	for all suche thinges the hethen people of the worlde seke for. Youre father knoweth that ye have nede of suche thinges.
12:31	Wherfore seke ye after the kyngedome of God and all these thinges shalbe ministred vnto you.
12:32	Feare not litell floocke for it is youre fathers pleasure to geve you a kingdome.
12:33	Sell that ye have and geve almes. And make you bagges which wexe not olde and treasure that fayleth not in heaven where noo these commeth nether moth corrupteth.
12:34	For where youre treasure is there will youre hertes be also.
12:35	Let youre loynes be gerdde about and youre lightes brennynge
12:36	and ye youre selves lyke vnto men that wayte for their master when he will returne fro a weddinge: that assone as he cometh and knocketh they maye ope vnto him.
12:37	Happy are those servauntes which the Lorde when he cometh shall fynde wakynge. Verely I saye vnto you he will gerdde him selfe about and make them sit doune to meate and walke by and minister vnto them.
12:38	And yf he come in the seconde watche ye if he come in the thyrde watche and shall fynde them soo happy are those servauntes.
12:39	This vnderstonde that yf the good man of the housse knewe what houre ye these wolde come he wolde suerly watche: and not suffer his housse to be broken vp.
12:40	Be ye prepared therfore: for the sonne of man will come at an houre when ye thinke not.
12:41	Then Peter sayde vnto him: Master tellest thou this similitude vnto vs or to all men?
12:42	And the Lorde sayde: If there be any faith full servaut and wise whom his Lorde shall make ruler over his housholde to geve them their duetie of meate at due season:
12:43	happy is that servaunt whom his master when he cometh shall finde soo doinge.
12:44	Of a trueth I saye vnto you: that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
12:45	But and yf the evyll servaunt shall saye in his hert: My master wyll differre his cominge and shall beginne to smyte the servauntes and maydens and to eate and drinke and to be dronken:
12:46	the Lorde of that servaunt will come in a daye when he thinketh not and at an houre when he is not ware and will devyde him and will geve him his rewarde with the vnbelevers.
12:47	The servaut that knewe his masters will and prepared not him selfe nether dyd accordinge to his will shalbe bete with many strypes.
12:48	But he that knewe not and yet dyd committe thinges worthy of strypes shalbe beaten with feawe strypes. For vnto whom moche is geven of him shalbe moche requyred. And to whom men moche commyt the moare of him will they axe.
12:49	I am come to sende fyre on erth: and what is my dysyre but that it were all redy kyndled?
12:50	Not with stondinge I must de baptised with a baptyme: and how am I payned till it be ended?
12:51	Suppose ye that I am come to sende peace on erth? I tell you naye: but rather debate.
12:52	For fro hence forthe ther shalbe five in one housse devided thre agaynst two and two agaynst thre.
12:53	The father shalbe devided agaynst the sonne and the sonne agaynst the father. The mother agaynst the doughter and the doughter agaynst the mother. The motereleawe agaynst hir doughterelawe and the doughterelawe agaynst hir motherelawe.
12:54	Then sayde he to the people: when ye se a cloude ryse out of the west strayght waye ye saye: we shall have a shower and soo it is.
12:55	And when ye se the south wynde blow ye saye: we shall have heet and it cometh to passe.
12:56	Ypocrites ye can skyll of the fassion of the erth and of the skye: but what is ye cause that ye canot skyll of this time?
12:57	Ye and why iudge ye not of youre selves what is righte?
12:58	Whill thou goest with thyne adversary to the ruler: as thou arte in the waye geve diligence that thou mayst be delivered fro him least he bringe the to the iudge and the iudge delyver the to the iaylar and the iaylar cast the in to preson.
12:59	I tell ye thou departest not thence tyll thou have made good ye vtmost myte.


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.
