The Life of Jesus

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

Wherefore if ye knewe what this is, I will haue mercie, and not sacrifice, ye would not haue condemned the innocents.

For the sonne of man is Lord, euen of the Sabbath.

And he departed thence, and went into their Synagogue:

And beholde, there was a man which had his hand dried vp. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawfull to heale vpon a Sabbath day? that they might accuse him.

And he said vnto the, What man shall there be among you, that hath a sheepe, and if it fal on a Sabbath day into a pit, doth not take it and lift it out?

How much more then is a man better then a sheepe? therefore, it is lawfull to doe well on a Sabbath day.

Then said he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it foorth, and it was made whole as the other.

Then the Pharises went out, and consulted against him, howe they might destroy him.

But whe Iesus knew it, he departed thece, and great multitudes folowed him, and he healed the al,

And charged them in threatning wise, that they should not make him knowen,

That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by Esaias the Prophet, saying,

Behold my seruant whom I haue chosen, my beloued in whom my soule deliteth: I wil put my Spirit on him, and he shall shewe iudgement to the Gentiles.

He shall not striue, nor crie, neither shall any man heare his voyce in the streetes.

A bruised reede shall he not breake, and smoking flaxe shall he not quenche, till he bring forth iudgement vnto victorie.

And in his Name shall the Gentiles trust.

Then was brought to him one, possessed with a deuill, both blind, and dumme, and he healed him, so that he which was blind and dumme, both spake and saw.

And all the people were amased, and saide, Is not this that sonne of Dauid?

But when the Pharises heard it, they saide, This man casteth the deuils no otherwise out, but through Beelzebub the prince of deuils.

But Iesus knew their thoughtes, and said to them, Euery kingdome deuided against it selfe, is brought to nought: and euery citie or house, deuided against it selfe, shall not stand.

So if Satan cast out Satan, he is deuided against himself: how shall then his kingdom endure?

Also if I through Beelzebub cast out deuils, by whom doe your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your iudges.

But if I cast out deuils by ye Spirit of God, then is the kingdome of God come vnto you.

Els howe can a man enter into a strong mans house and spoyle his goods, except he first bind the strong man, and then spoile his house.

He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.
