And the children of the kingdome shall be cast out into vtter darkenes: there shalbe weeping and gnashing of teeth.

And beholde, certaine of the Scribes saide with themselues, This man blasphemeth.

But when Iesus saw their thoughts, he said, Wherefore thinke yee euil things in your hearts?

For whether is it easier to say, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee, or to say, Arise, and walke?

And that ye may knowe that the Sonne of man hath authoritie in earth to forgiue sinnes, (then saide he vnto the sicke of the palsie,) Arise, take vp thy bed, and goe to thine house.

Nowe when Iesus heard it, hee sayde vnto them, The whole neede not a Physition, but they that are sicke.

While hee thus spake vnto them, beholde, there came a certaine ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is nowe deceased, but come and laie thine hande on her, and shee shall liue.

For shee saide in her selfe, If I may touche but his garment onely, I shalbe whole.

Philippe and Bartlemewe: Thomas, and Matthewe that Publicane: Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Lebbeus whose surname was Thaddeus:

Simon the Cananite, and Iudas Iscariot, who also betraied him.

These twelue did Iesus send forth, and commanded them, saying, Goe not into the way of of the Gentiles, and into the cities of the Samaritans enter yee not:

But goe rather to the lost sheepe of the house of Israel.

And as ye goe, preach, saying, The kingdome of heauen is at hand.

Heale the sicke: cleanse the lepers: raise vp the dead: cast out the deuils. Freely ye haue receiued, freely giue.

Possesse not golde, nor siluer, nor money in your girdels,

Nor a scrippe for the iourney, neither two coates, neither shoes, nor a staffe: for the workeman is worthie of his meate.

And into whatsoeuer citie or towne ye shall come, enquire who is worthy in it, and there abide till yee goe thence.

And when yee come into an house, salute the same.

And if the house be worthy, let your peace come vpon it: but if it be not worthie, let your peace returne to you.

And whosoeuer shall not receiue you, nor heare your woordes, when yee depart out of that house, or that citie, shake off the dust of your feete.

Truely I say vnto you, it shall be easier for them of the lande of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of iudgement, then for that citie.

Behold, I send you as sheepe in the middes of the wolues: be yee therefore wise as serpents, and innocent as doues.

But beware of men, for they will deliuer you vp to the Councils, and will scourge you in their Synagogues.

And ye shall be brought to the gouernours and Kings for my sake, in witnes to them, and to the Gentiles.

But when they deliuer you vp, take no thought howe or what ye shall speake: for it shall be giuen you in that houre, what ye shall say.

For it is not yee that speake, but the spirite of your father which speaketh in you.

And the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the sonne, and the children shall rise against their parents, and shall cause them to die.

And yee shall be hated of all men for my Name: but he that endureth to the end, he shall be saued.

And when they persecute you in this citie, flee into another: for verely I say vnto you, yee shall not goe ouer all the cities of Israel, till the Sonne of man be come.

The disciple is not aboue his master, nor the seruant aboue his Lord.

It is ynough for the disciple to bee as his master is, and the seruaunt as his Lord. If they haue called the master of the house Beel-zebub, howe much more them of his housholde?

Feare them not therefore: for there is nothing couered, that shall not be disclosed, nor hid, that shall not be knowen.

What I tell you in darkenesse, that speake yee in light: and what yee heare in the eare, that preach yee on the houses.

And feare yee not them which kill the bodie, but are nor able to kill the soule: but rather feare him, which is able to destroy both soule and bodie in hell.

Are not two sparrowes sold for a farthing, and one of them shall not fal on the ground without your Father?
