Iesus then full of the holy goost returnyd from Iordan and was caryed of the sprete into wildernes

and was .xl. dayes tempted of the devyll. And in thoose dayes ate he no thinge. And when they were ended he afterward hongred.

And the devyll sayde vnto him: yf thou be the sonne of God commaunde this stone that it be breed.

And Iesus answered hym sayinge: It is written: man shall not live by breed only but by every worde of God.

And the devyll toke him vp into an hye moutayne and shewed him all the kyngdoms of the worlde even in the twincklinge of an eye.

And the devyll sayde vnto him: all this power will I geve the every whit and the glory of them: for that is delyvered to me and to whosoever I will I geve it.

Yf thou therfore wilt worshippe me they shalbe all thyne.

Iesus answered him and sayde: hence from me Sathan. For it is written: Thou shalt honour the Lorde thy God and him only serve.

And he caryed him to Ierusalem and set him on a pynacle of the temple and sayd vnto him: Yf thou be the sonne of God cast thy silfe doune from hens.

For it is written he shall geve his angels charge over the to kepe the,

and with there hondis they shall stey the vp that thou dasshe not thy fote agaynst a stone.

Iesus answered and sayde to him it is sayd: thou shalt not tempte the Lorde thy God.

Assone as the devyll had ended all his temptacions he departed from him for a season.

And Iesus retourned by the power of the sprete in to Galile and there went a fame of him thorowe oute all the region roude aboute.

And he taught in their synagoges and was commended of all men.

And he came to Nazareth where he was noursed and as hys custome was went in to the synagoge on the Saboth dayes and stode vp for to rede.

And ther was delyvered vnto him the boke of the Prophete Esaias. And when he had opened the boke he founde the place where it was written.

The sprete of the lorde vpon me because he hath annoynted me: to preache the gospell to the poore he hath sent me: and to heale the broken harted: to preache delyverauce to the captive and sight to the blinde and frely to set at lyberte them that are brused

and to preache the acceptable yeare of the Lorde.

And he cloosed the booke and gave it agayne to the minister and sate doune. And the eyes of all that were in the synagoge were fastened on him.

And he began to saye vnto them. This daye is this scripture fulfilled in youre eares.

And all bare him witnes and wondred at the gracious wordes which proceded oute of his mouth and sayde: Is not this Iosephs sonne?

And he sayde vnto them: Ye maye very well saye vnto me this proverbe: Phisicion heale thy silfe. Whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum do the same here lyke wyse in thyne awne countre.

And he sayde verely I saye vnto you: No Prophet is accepted in his awne countre.

But I tell you of a truth many wyddowes were in Israell in the dayes of Helias when hevyn was shet thre yeres and syxe monethes when greate fammisshemet was throughoute all the londe

and vnto none of them was Helias sent save in to Sarephta besydes Sidon vnto a woman that was a widow.

And many lepers were in Israel in the tyme of Heliseus the Prophete: and yet none of them was healed savinge Naaman of Siria.

And as many as were in the sinagoge when they herde that were filled with wrath:

and roose vp and thrust him oute of the cite and ledde him even vnto the edge of the hill wher on their cite was bilte to cast him doune hedlynge.

But he went his waye even thorow the myddes of them:

and came in to Capernaum a cyte of Galile and there taught the on the Saboth dayes.

And they were astonyed at his doctrine: for his preachinge was with power.

And in the synagoge ther was a man which had a sprete of an vncleane devell and cryed with aloude voyce

sayinge: let me alone what hast thou to do with vs thou Iesus of Nazareth? Arte thou come to destroye vs? I knowe the what thou arte even the holy of God.

And Iesus rebuked him sayinge: holde thy peace and come oute of him. And the devyll threwe him in the myddes of them and came oute of him and hurt him not.

And feare came on them all and they spake amonge them selves sayinge: what maner a thinge is this? For with auctorite and power he commaundeth the foule spretes and they come out?

And the fame of him spreed abroode thorowoute all places of the countre round aboute.

And he roose vp and came oute of the sinagoge and entred in to Simons housse. And Simons motherelawe was take with a greate fever and they made intercession to him for her.

And he stode over her and rebuked the fever: and it leeft her. And immediatly she arose and ministred vnto them.

When the sonne was doune all they that had sicke take with divers deseases brought them vnto him: and he layde his hondes on every one of them and healed them.

And devils also cam out of many of them crying and saying: thou arte Christ the sonne of God. And he rebuked them and suffered them not to speake: for they knewe that he was Christ.

Assone as it was daye he departed and went awaye into a desert place and the people sought him and came to him and kept him that he shuld not departe from them.

And he sayde vnto them: I muste to other cities also preache the kyngdome of God: for therfore am I sent.

And he preached in the synagoges of Galile.

It came to passe as the people preased vpon him to heare the worde of God that he stoode by the lake of Genezareth:

and sawe two shippes stonde by the lake syde but the fisshermen were gone out of the and were wasshynge their nettes.

And he entred in to one of the shippes which perteyned to Simon and prayed him that he wolde thrust out a litell from the londe. And he sate doune and taught the people out of the ship.

When he had leeft speakynge he sayde vnto Simon: Launche out in to the depe and let slippe youre nettes to make a draught

And Simon answered and sayde to him: Master we have labored all nyght and have taken nothinge. Neverthelater at thy worde I will loose forthe the net.

And when they had so done they inclosed a greate multitude of fisshes. And their net brake:

but they made signes to their felowes which were in the other ship that they shuld come and helpe the And they came: and filled bothe the shippes that they soncke agayne.

When Simon Peter sawe that he fell doune at Iesus knees sayinge: Lorde goo from me for I am a synfull man.

For he was vtterly astonyed and all that were with him at the draught of fisshe which they toke:

and so was also Iames and Iohn the sonnes of zebede which were parteners with Simon. And Iesus sayde vnto Simon: feare not from hence forthe thou shalt catche men.

And they brought the shippes to londe and forsoke all and folowed him.

And it fortuned as he was in a certayne cite: beholde ther was a man full of leprosy: and when he had spied Iesus he fell on his face and besought him sayinge: Lorde yf thou wilt thou canst make me cleane.

And he strethed forth the hond and touched him sayinge: I will be thou cleane. And immediatly the leprosy departed from him.

And he warned him that he shuld tell no man: but that he shuld goo and shewe him selfe to the Preste and offer for his clensynge accordinge as Moses commaundement was for a witnes vnto them.

But so moche the moare went ther a fame abroade of him and moche people cam to geder to heare and to be healed of him of their infirmities.

And he kepte him silfe aparte in the wildernesses and gave him silfe to prayer.

And it happened on a certayne daye that he taught: and ther sate the pharises: and docturs of lawe which were come out of all the tounes of Galile Iurie and Hierusalem. And the power of the Lorde was to heale them.

And beholde me brought a man lyinge in his beed which was taken with a palsie: and sought meanes to brynge him in and to laye him before him.

And when they coulde not finde by what waye they might bringe him in be cause of the prease they wet vp on the toppe of the housse and let him doune thorowe the tylinge beed and all in the middes before Iesus.

When he sawe their fayth he sayde vnto him: man thy synnes are forgeven the.

And the Scribes and the Parises begane to thinke sayinge: What felow is this which speaketh blasphemy? Who can forgeve synnes but God only?

When Iesus perceaved their thoughtes he answered and sayde vnto them: What thinke ye in youre hertes?

Whether is easyar to saye thy synnes are forgeve the or to saye: rise and walke?

But that ye maye knowe that the sonne of man hath power to forgeve synnes on erth he sayde vnto the sicke of the palsie: I saye to the aryse take vp thy beed and go home to thy housse.

And immediatly he rose vp before them and toke vp his beed where on he laye and departed to his awne housse praysinge God.

And they were all amased and they lauded God and were filled with feare sayinge: We have sene straunge thynges to daye.

And after that he went forthe and sawe a Publican named Levi sittinge at the receyte of custome and sayde vnto him: folow me.

And he leeft all roose vp and folowed him.

And that same Levi made him a greate feaste at home in his awne housse. And ther was a greate company of publicans and of other that sate at meate with him.

And the Scribes and Pharises murmured agaynst his disciples sayinge: Why eate ye and drinke ye with publicans and synners?

Iesus answered and sayde vnto the: They that are whole nede not of the phisicion: but they that are sicke.

I came not to call the rightewes but synners to repentaunce.

Then they sayde vnto him: Why do the disciples of Iohn fast often and praye and the disciples of the Pharises also: and thine eate and drinke?

And he sayde vnto them: Can ye make the chyldren of the weddinge fast as longe as the brydgrome is present with them?

The dayes will come when the brydgrome shalbe take awaye from them: then shall they fast in those dayes

Then he spake vnto them in a similitude: No man putteth a pece of a newe garment in to an olde vesture: for yf he do: then breaketh he the newe and the pece that was taken out of the newe agreeth not with the olde.

Also no man poureth newe wyne into olde vessels. For yf he do the newe wyne breaketh the vessels and runneth out it silfe and the vessels perisshe:

But newe wyne must be poured into newe vessels and bothe are preserved.
