The Life of Jesus

And likewise also a Leuite, when he was come neere to the place, went and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

Then a certaine Samaritane, as he iourneyed, came neere vnto him, and when he sawe him, he had compassion on him,

And went to him, and bound vp his wounds, and powred in oyle and wine, and put him on his owne beast, and brought him to an Inne, and made prouision for him.

And on the morowe when he departed, he tooke out two pence, and gaue them to the hoste, and said vnto him, Take care of him, and whatsoeuer thou spendest more, when I come againe, I will recompense thee.

Which nowe of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour vnto him that fell among the theeues?

And he saide, He that shewed mercie on him. Then said Iesus vnto him, Goe, and do thou likewise.

Nowe it came to passe, as they went, that he entred into a certaine towne, and a certaine woman named Martha, receiued him into her house.

And she had a sister called Marie, which also sate at Iesus feete, and heard his preaching.

But Martha was combred about much seruing, and came to him, and saide, Master, doest thou not care that my sister hath left me to serue alone? bid her therefore, that she helpe me.

And Iesus answered, and said vnto her, Martha, Martha, thou carest, and art troubled about many things:

But one thing is needefull, Marie hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

And so it was, that as he was praying in a certaine place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said vnto him, Lord, teache vs to pray, as Iohn also taught his disciples.

And he said vnto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father, which art in heauen, halowed be thy Name: Thy kingdome come: Let thy will be done, euen in earth, as it is in heauen:

Our dayly bread giue vs for the day:

And forgiue vs our sinnes: for euen we forgiue euery man that is indetted to vs: And leade vs not into temptation: but deliuer vs from euill.

Moreouer he said vnto them, Which of you shall haue a friende, and shall goe to him at midnight, and say vnto him, Friende, lende mee three loaues?

For a friende of mine is come out of the way to me, and I haue nothing to set before him:

And hee within shoulde answere, and say, Trouble mee not: the doore is nowe shut, and my children are with mee in bed: I can not rise and giue them to thee.

I say vnto you, Though he would not arise and giue him, because he is his friende, yet doubtlesse because of his importunitie, hee woulde rise, and giue him as many as he needed.

And I say vnto you, Aske, and it shall be giuen you: seeke, and yee shall finde: knocke, and it shalbe opened vnto you.

For euery one that asketh, receiueth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shalbe opened.

If a sonne shall aske bread of any of you that is a father, will he giue him a stone? or if hee aske a fish, will he for a fish giue him a serpent?

Or if hee aske an egge, will hee giue him a scorpion?

If yee then which are euill, can giue good giftes vnto your children, howe much more shall your heauenly Father giue the holy Ghost to them, that desire him?

Then hee cast out a deuill which was domme: and when the deuill was gone out, the domme spake, and the people wondered.
