The Life of Jesus

Ye fooles, did not he that made that which is without, make that which is within also?

Therefore, giue almes of those thinges which you haue, and beholde, all thinges shall be cleane to you.

But wo be to you, Pharises: for ye tithe the mynt and the rewe, and all maner herbs, and passe ouer iudgement and the loue of God: these ought yee to haue done, and not to haue left the other vndone.

Wo be to you, Pharises: for ye loue the vppermost seats in the Synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye are as graues which appeare not, and the men that walke ouer them, perceiue not.

Then answered one of the Lawyers, and saide vnto him, Master, thus saying thou puttest vs to rebuke also.

And he sayde, Wo be to you also, yee Lawyers: for yee lade men with burdens grieuous to be borne, and yee your selues touche not the burdens with one of your fingers.

Wo be to you: for ye builde the sepulchres of the Prophetes, and your fathers killed them.

Truely ye beare witnesse, and allowe the deedes of your fathers: for they killed them, and yee build their sepulchres.

Therefore said the wisedome of God, I wil sende them Prophets and Apostles, and of them they shall slaie, and persecute away,

That the blood of all the Prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,

From the blood of Abel vnto the blood of Zacharias, which was slaine betweene the altar and the Temple: verely I say vnto you, it shall be required of this generation.

Wo be to you, Lawyers: for ye haue taken away the key of knowledge: ye entred not in your selues, and them that came in, ye forbade.

And as he sayde these things vnto them, the Scribes and Pharises began to vrge him sore, and to prouoke him to speake of many things,

Laying wait for him, and seeking to catche some thing of his mouth, whereby they might accuse him.

In the meane time, there gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they trode one another: and he began to say vnto his disciples first, Take heede to your selues of the leauen of the Pharises, which is hypocrisie.

For there is nothing couered, that shall not bee reueiled: neither hidde, that shall not be knowen.

Wherefore whatsoeuer yee haue spoken in darkenesse, it shall be heard in the light: and that which ye haue spoken in the eare, in secret places, shall be preached on the houses.

And I say vnto you, my friendes, be not afraide of them that kill the bodie, and after that are not able to doe any more.

But I wil forewarne you, who ye shall feare: feare him which after hee hath killed, hath power to cast into hell: yea, I say vnto you, him feare.

Are not fiue sparowes bought for two farthings, and yet not one of them is forgotten before God?

Yea, and all the heares of your head are nombred: feare not therefore: yee are more of value then many sparowes.

Also I say vnto you, Whosoeuer shall confesse mee before men, him shall the Sonne of man confesse also before the Angels of God.

But hee that shall denie mee before men, shall be denied before the Angels of God.

And whosoeuer shall speake a woorde against the Sonne of man, it shall be forgiuen him: but vnto him, that shall blaspheme ye holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiuen.
