The Life of Jesus

Verely I say vnto you, Whatsoeuer ye bind on earth, shall be bound in heauen: and whatsoeuer ye loose on earth, shalbe loosed in heauen.

Againe, verely I say vnto you, that if two of you shall agree in earth vpon any thing, whatsoeuer they shall desire, it shall be giuen them of my Father which is in heauen.

For where two or three are gathered together in my Name, there am I in the mids of them.

Then came Peter to him, and said, Master, howe oft shall my brother sinne against me, and I shall forgiue him? vnto seuen times?

Iesus said vnto him, I say not to thee, Vnto seuen times, but, Vnto seuentie times seuen times.

Therefore is the kingdome of heauen likened vnto a certaine King, which would take an account of his seruants.

And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought vnto him, which ought him ten thousand talents.

And because he had nothing to pay, his Lord commanded him to be solde, and his wife, and his children, and all that he had, and the dette to be payed.

The seruant therefore fell downe, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, refraine thine anger toward me, and I will pay thee all.

Then that seruants Lord had compassion, and loosed him, and forgaue him the dette.

But when the seruant was departed, hee found one of his felow seruants, which ought him an hundred pence, and he layde hands on him, and thratled him, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

Then his fellow seruant fell downe at his feete, and besought him, saying, Refraine thine anger towards me, and I will pay thee all.

Yet he would not, but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the dette.

And when his other felowe seruants sawe what was done, they were very sory, and came, and declared vnto their Lord all that was done.

Then his Lord called him vnto him, and sayd to him, O euil seruant, I forgaue thee all that dette, because thou prayedst me.

Oughtest not thou also to haue had pitie on thy fellowe seruant, euen as I had pitie on thee?

So his Lord was wroth, and deliuered him to the tormentours, till he should pay all that was due to him.

So likewise shall mine heauenly Father doe vnto you, except ye forgiue from your hearts, eche one to his brother their trespasses.

And it came to passe, that when Iesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galile, and came into ye coasts of Iudea beyond Iordan.

And great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.

Then came vnto him the Pharises tempting him, and saying to him, Is it lawfull for a man to put away his wife vpon euery occasion?

And he answered and sayd vnto them, Haue ye not read, that hee which made them at the beginning, made them male and female,

And sayd, For this cause, shall a man leaue father and mother, and cleaue vnto his wife, and they which were two shalbe one flesh.

Wherefore they are no more twaine, but one flesh. Let not man therefore put asunder that, which God hath coupled together.

They said to him, Why did then Moses commaund to giue a bill of diuorcement, and to put her away?
