The Life of Jesus

And in that house tary still, eating and drinking such things as by them shall be set before you: for the labourer is worthy of his wages. Goe not from house to house.

But into whatsoeuer citie ye shall enter, if they receiue you, eate such things as are set before you,

And heale the sicke that are there, and say vnto them, The kingdome of God is come neere vnto you.

But into whatsoeuer citie ye shall enter, if they will not receiue you, goe your wayes out into the streetes of the same, and say,

Euen the very dust, which cleaueth on vs of your citie, we wipe off against you: notwithstanding knowe this, that the kingdome of God was come neere vnto you.

For I say to you, that it shall be easier in that day for them of Sodom, then for that citie.

Woe be to thee, Chorazin: woe be to thee, Beth-saida: for if the miracles had bene done in Tyrus and Sidon, which haue bene done in you, they had a great while agone repented, sitting in sackecloth and ashes.

Therefore it shall be easier for Tyrus, and Sidon, at the iudgement, then for you.

And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heauen, shalt be thrust downe to hell.

He that heareth you, heareth me: and he that despiseth you, despiseth me: and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me.

And the seuentie turned againe with ioy, saying, Lord, euen the deuils are subdued to vs through thy Name.

And he said vnto them, I sawe Satan, like lightening, fall downe from heauen.

Beholde, I giue vnto you power to treade on Serpents, and Scorpions, and ouer all the power of the enemie, and nothing shall hurt you.

Neuerthelesse, in this reioyce not, that the spirits are subdued vnto you: but rather reioyce, because your names are written in heauen.

That same houre reioyced Iesus in the spirit, and said, I confesse vnto thee, Father, Lord of heauen and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and vnderstanding, and hast reueiled them to babes: euen so, Father, because it so pleased thee.

All things are giuen me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Sonne is, but the Father: neither who the Father is, saue the Sonne, and he to whom the Sonne will reueile him.

And he turned to his disciples, and said secretly, Blessed are the eyes, which see that ye see.

For I tell you that many Prophets and Kings haue desired to see those things, which ye see, and haue not seene them: and to heare those things which ye heare, and haue not heard them.

Then beholde, a certaine Lawyer stoode vp, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I doe, to inherite eternall life?

And he saide vnto him, What is written in the Lawe? howe readest thou?

And he answered, and saide, Thou shalt loue thy Lord God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy strength, and with all thy thought, and thy neighbour as thy selfe.

Then he said vnto him, Thou hast answered right: this doe, and thou shalt liue.

But he willing to iustifie himselfe, said vnto Iesus, Who is then my neighbour?

And Iesus answered, and saide, A certaine man went downe from Hierusalem to Iericho, and fell among theeues, and they robbed him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leauing him halfe dead.

Nowe so it fell out, that there came downe a certaine Priest that same way, and when he sawe him, he passed by on the other side.
