Jesus

And whosoeuer shall giue vnto one of these litle ones to drinke a cuppe of colde water onely, in the name of a disciple, verely I say vnto you, he shall not lose his rewarde.

And it came to passe that when Iesus had made an ende of commaunding his twelue disciples, hee departed thence to teache and to preach in their cities.

And when Iohn heard in the prison the woorkes of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and sayde vnto him,

Art thou he that shoulde come, or shall we looke for another?

And Iesus answering, said vnto them, Goe, and shewe Iohn, what things ye heare, and see.

And blessed is he that shall not be offeded in me.

And as they departed, Iesus beganne to speake vnto the multitude, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde?

But what went ye out to see? A Prophet? Yea, I say vnto you, and more then a Prophet.

For this is he of whom it is written, Beholde, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

Verely I say vnto you, among them which are begotten of women, arose there not a greater then Iohn Baptist: notwithstanding, he that is the least in the kingdome of heauen, is greater then he.

But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like vnto litle children which sit in the markets, and call vnto their fellowes,

The sonne of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Beholde a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend vnto Publicanes and sinners: but wisedome is iustified of her children.

Then began he to vpbraide the cities, wherein most of his great workes were done, because they repented not.

But I say to you, It shalbe easier for Tyrus and Sidon at the day of iudgement, then for you.

But I say vnto you, that it shall be easier for them of the land of Sodom in the day of iudgement, then for thee.

At that time Iesus answered, and saide, I giue thee thankes, O Father, Lord of heauen and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and men of vnderstanding, and hast opened them vnto babes.

It is so, O Father, because thy good pleasure was such.

All things are giuen vnto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Sonne, but ye Father: neither knoweth any man ye Father, but the Sonne, and he to whom ye Sonne will reueile him.

Come vnto me, all ye that are wearie and laden, and I will ease you.

Take my yoke on you, and learne of me that I am meeke and lowly in heart: and ye shall finde rest vnto your soules.

For my yoke is easie, and my burden light.

At that time Iesus went on a Sabbath day through ye corne, and his disciples were an hungred, and bega to plucke ye eares of corne and to eate.

And when the Pharises sawe it, they saide vnto him, Beholde, thy disciples doe that which is not lawfull to doe vpon the Sabbath.

But he said vnto them, Haue ye not read what Dauid did when he was an hungred, and they that were with him?

But I say vnto you, that here is one greater then the Temple.
