The Life of Jesus

But hee that heareth and doeth not, is like a man that built an house vpon the earth without foundation, against which the flood did beate, and it fell by and by: and the fall of that house was great.

When hee had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entred into Capernaum.

And a certaine Ceturions seruant was sicke and readie to die, which was deare vnto him.

And when he heard of Iesus, hee sent vnto him the Elders of the Iewes, beseeching him that he would come, and heale his seruant.

So they came to Iesus, and besought him instantly, saying that hee was worthy that hee should doe this for him:

For he loueth, said they, our nation, and he hath built vs a Synagogue.

Then Iesus went with them: but when he was now not farre from the house, the Centurion sent friendes to him, saying vnto him, Lord, trouble not thy selfe: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter vnder my roofe:

Wherefore I thought not my selfe worthy to come vnto thee: but say the word, and my seruant shalbe whole:

For I likewise am a man set vnder authoritie, and haue vnder mee souldiers, and I say vnto one, Goe, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and hee commeth: and to my seruant, Doe this, and he doeth it.

When Iesus heard these things, he marueiled at him, and turned him, and said to the people, that followed him, I say vnto you, I haue not found so great faith, no not in Israel.

And when they that were sent, turned backe to the house, they founde the seruant that was sicke, whole.

And it came to passe the day after, that he went into a citie called Nain, and many of his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.

Nowe when hee came neere to the gate of the citie, behold, there was a dead man caried out, who was the onely begotten sonne of his mother, which was a widowe, and much people of the citie was with her.

And when the Lord sawe her, he had compassion on her, and said vnto her, Weepe not.

And he went and touched the coffin (and they that bare him, stoode still) and he said, Yong man, I say vnto thee, Arise.

And he that was dead, sate vp, and began to speake, and he deliuered him to his mother.

Then there came a feare on them all, and they glorified God, saying, A great Prophet is risen among vs, and God hath visited his people.

And this rumour of him went foorth throughout all Iudea, and throughout all the region round about.

And the disciples of Iohn shewed him of all these things.

So Iohn called vnto him two certaine men of his disciples, and sent them to Iesus, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?

And when the men were come vnto him, they said, Iohn Baptist hath sent vs vnto thee, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?

And at that time, he cured many of their sickenesses, and plagues, and of euill spirites, and vnto many blinde men he gaue sight freely.

And Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Goe your wayes and shewe Iohn, what things ye haue seene and heard: that the blinde see, the halt goe, the lepers are cleansed, the deafe heare, the dead are raised, and the poore receiue the Gospel.

And blessed is hee, that shall not be offended in me.

And when the messengers of Iohn were departed, hee began to speake vnto the people, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde?
