The Life of Jesus

Euen as the Sonne of man came not to be serued, but to serue, and to giue his life for the ransome of many.

And as they departed from Iericho, a great multitude followed him.

And beholde, two blinde men, sitting by the way side, when they heard that Iesus passed by, cryed, saying, O Lord, the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on vs.

And the multitude rebuked them, because they should holde their peace: but they cried the more, saying, O Lord, the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on vs.

Then Iesus stoode still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do to you?

They saide to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

And Iesus mooued with compassion, touched their eyes, and immediatly their eyes receiued sight, and they followed him.

And when they drewe neere to Hierusalem, and were come to Bethphage, vnto the mount of the Oliues, then sent Iesus two disciples,

Saying to them, Goe into the towne that is ouer against you, and anon yee shall finde an asse bounde, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them vnto me.

And if any man say ought vnto you, say ye, that the Lord hath neede of them, and straightway he will let them goe.

All this was done that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Prophet, saying,

Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Beholde, thy King commeth vnto thee, meeke and sitting vpon an asse, and a colte, the foale of an asse vsed to the yoke.

Moreouer, the people that went before, and they also that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Sonne of Dauid, Blessed be hee that commeth in the Name of the Lord, Hosanna thou which art in the highest heauens.

And when he was come into Hierusalem, all the citie was mooued, saying, Who is this?

And the people said, This is Iesus that Prophet of Nazareth in Galile.

And Iesus went into the Temple of God, and cast out all them that solde and bought in the Temple, and ouerthrew the tables of the money chagers, and the seates of them that sold doues,

And said to them, it is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer: but ye haue made it a denne of theeues.

Then the blinde, and the halt came to him in the Temple, and he healed them.

But when the chiefe priestes and Scribes sawe the marueiles that hee did, and the children crying in the Temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Sonne of Dauid, they disdained,

And said vnto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Iesus said vnto them, Yea: read ye neuer, By the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast made perfite the praise?

So hee left them, and went out of the citie vnto Bethania, and lodged there.

And in the morning, as he returned into the citie, he was hungrie,
