The Life of Jesus

For there is nothing hid, that shall not be opened: neither is there a secret, but that it shall come to light.

If any man haue eares to heare, let him heare.

And he said vnto them, Take heede what ye heare. With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured vnto you: and vnto you that heare, shall more be giuen.

For vnto him that hath, shall it be giuen, and from him that hath not, shall be taken away, euen that he hath.

Also he said, So is the kingdome of God, as if a man should cast seede in the ground,

And shoulde sleepe, and rise vp night and day, and the seede should spring and growe vp, he not knowing howe.

For the earth bringeth foorth fruite of it selfe, first the blade, then the eares, after that full corne in the eares.

And assoone as the fruite sheweth it selfe, anon hee putteth in the sickle, because the haruest is come.

He saide moreouer, Whereunto shall wee liken the kingdome of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

It is like a graine of mustarde seede, which when it is sowen in the earth, is the least of all seedes that be in the earth:

But after that it is sowen, it groweth vp, and is greatest of all herbes, and beareth great branches, so that the foules of heauen may builde vnder the shadow of it.

And with many such parables he preached the word vnto them, as they were able to heare it.

And without parables spake hee nothing vnto them: but he expounded all thinges to his disciples apart.

Nowe the same day when euen was come, he saide vnto them, Let vs passe ouer vnto the other side.

And they left the multitude, and tooke him as he was in the shippe, and there were also with him other little shippes.

And there arose a great storme of winde, and the waues dashed into the shippe, so that it was now full.

And he was in the sterne asleepe on a pillow: and they awoke him, and saide to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

And hee rose vp, and rebuked the winde, and saide vnto the sea, Peace, and be still. So the winde ceased, and it was a great calme.

Then he saide vnto them, Why are ye so fearefull? how is it that ye haue no faith?

And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who is this, that both the winde and sea obey him?

And they came ouer to the other side of the sea into the countrey of the Gadarens.

And when he was come out of the shippe, there met him incontinently out of the graues, a man which had an vncleane spirit:

Who had his abiding among the graues, and no man could binde him, no not with chaines:

Because that when hee was often bounde with fetters and chaines, he plucked the chaines asunder, and brake the fetters in pieces, neither could any man tame him.

And alwayes both night and day he cryed in the mountaines, and in the graues, and strooke himselfe with stones.
