3 And he sayd to them: Take nothinge to sucker you by ye waye: nether staffe nor scripe nether breed nether money nether have twoo cootes.
And he said to them, "Take nothing for your journey—neither staff, nor pack, nor bread, nor money; neither have two tunics.
4 And whatsoever housse ye enter into there abyde and thence departe.
Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
5 And whosoever will not receave you when ye go out of that cite shake of the very dust from youre fete for a testimony agaynst them.
As many as do not receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them."

They departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News, and healing everywhere.
7 And Herod the tetrarch herde of all that was done of him and douted because that it was sayde of some that Iohn was rysen agayne from deeth:
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
8 and of some that Helyas had apered: and of other that one of the olde prophetes was rysen agayne.
and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
9 And Herod sayde: Iohn have I behedded: who then is this of whom I heare suche thinges? And he desyred to se him.
Herod said, "John I beheaded, but who is this, about whom I hear such things?" He sought to see him.

But the crowds, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and he cured those who needed healing.
12 And when ye daye beganne to weare awaye then came the twelve and sayde vnto him: sende ye people awaye that they maye goo into the tounes and villages roundabout and lodge and get meate for we are here in a place of wyldernes.
The day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said to him, "Send the crowd away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a deserted place."
13 But he sayde vnto them: Geve ye the to eate. And they sayde. We have no moo but fyve loves and two fisshes except we shuld goo and bye meate for all this people.
But he said to them, "You give them something to eat." They said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people."
14 And they were about a fyve thousand men. And he sayde to his disciples: Cause them to syt doune by fyfties in a company.
For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, "Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each."
15 And they dyd soo and made them all syt doune.

16 And he toke the fyve loves and the two fisshes and loked vp to heven and blessed them and brake and gave to the disciples to set before ye people.
He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

They ate, and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
18 And it fortuned as he was alone prayinge his disciples were wt him and he axed the sayinge: Who saye ye people yt I am?
It happened, as he was praying alone, that the disciples were with him, and he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"
19 They answered and sayd: Iohn Baptist. Some saye Helyas. And some saye one of the olde prophetes is rysen agayne.
They answered, "'John the Baptist,' but others say, 'Elijah,' and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again."
20 He sayde vnto the: Who saye ye that I am? Peter answered and sayde: thou arte the Christ of god.
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God."
21 And he warned and commaunded them that they shuld tell no man yt thinge
But he warned them, and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22 sayinge: that the sonne of man must suffre many thinges and be reproved of the elders and of the hye prestes and scribes and be slayne and the thirde daye ryse agayne.
saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up."
23 And he sayde to them all yf eny man will come after me let him denye him sylfe and take vp his crosse dayly and folowe me.
He said to all, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 Whosoever will save his lyfe shall lose it. And who soever shall lose his lyfe for my sake the same shall save it.
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.
25 For what avauntageth it a man to wynne the whole worlde yf he loose him sylfe or runne in domage of him sylfe?
For what does it profit a person if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
26 For whosoever is ashamed of me and of my sayinges: of him shall the sonne of man be ashamed when he cometh in his awne glorie and in the glorie of his father and of the holy angels.
For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
27 And I tell you of a surety: There be some of the yt stonde here which shall not tast of deeth tyll they se ye kyngdome of god.
But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here, who will in no way taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God."
28 And it folowed about an. viii. dayes after thoose sayinges that he toke Peter Iames and Iohn and went vp into a moutayne to praye.
It happened about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
29 And as he prayed ye facion of his countenaunce was changed and his garment was whyte and shoone.
As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
30 And beholde two men talked wt him and they were Moses and Helyas
And look, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
31 which appered gloriously and spake of his departinge which he shuld ende at Ierusalem.
who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 Peter and they that were with him were hevy with slepe. And when they woke they sawe his glorie and two men stondinge with him.
Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.
33 And it chaunsed as they departed fro him Peter sayde vnto Iesus: Master it is good beinge here for vs. Let vs make thre tabernacles one for the and one for Moses and one for Helyas: and wist not what he sayde.
It happened, as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah," not knowing what he said.
34 Whyll he thus spake ther came a cloude and shadowed them: and they feared when they were come vnder the cloude.
While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
35 And ther came a voyce out of the cloude sayinge: This is my deare sonne heare him.
A voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, my Chosen One. Listen to him."
36 And assone as ye voyce was past Iesus was founde alone. And they kept it cloose and tolde noo man in thoose dayes eny of those thinges which they had sene.
When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
37 And it chaunsed on the nexte daye as they came doune from the hyll moche people met him.
It happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a large crowd met him.
38 And beholde a man of the copany cryed out sayinge: Master I beseche ye beholde my sonne for he is all that I have:
And look, a man from the crowd called out, saying, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.
39 and se a sprete taketh him and sodenly he cryeth and he teareth him that he fometh agayne and with moche payne departeth fro him when he hath rent him and
And look, a spirit seizes him, and all at once he cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
40 I besought thy disciples to cast him out and they coulde not.
I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they could not."
41 Iesus answered and sayde: O generacion with oute fayth and croked: how longe shall I be with you? and shall suffre you? Bringe thy sonne hidder.
Jesus answered, "Faithless and perverse generation, how long must I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here."
42 As he yet was a cominge the fende ret him and tare him. And Iesus rebuked ye vnclene sprete and healed the childe and delivered him to his father.
While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 And they were all amased at ye mighty power of God. Whyll they wondred every one at all thinges which he dyd he sayd vnto his disciples:
They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
44 Let these sayinges synke doune into youre eares. The tyme will come when the sonne of man shalbe delivered into the hondes of men.
"Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men."
45 But they wist not what yt worde meant and yt was hyd fro the that they vnderstode yt not. And they feared to axe him of that sayinge.
But they did not understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46 Then ther arose a disputacion amoge the: who shuld be the greatest.
There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.
47 When Iesus perceaved ye thoughtes of their hertes he toke a chylde and set him hard by him
Jesus, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
48 and sayd vnto the: Whosoever receaveth this chylde in my name receaveth me. And whosoever receaveth me receaveth him yt sent me. For he yt is least amonge you all the same shalbe greate.
and said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one is great."
49 And Iohn answered and sayde: Master we sawe one castinge out devyls in thy name and we forbade him because he foloweth not with vs.
John answered, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us."
50 And Iesus sayde vnto him: forbyd ye him not. For he that is not agaynst vs is wt vs.
Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he who is not against you is for you."
51 And it folowed when the tyme was come yt he shulde be receaved vp then he set his face to goo to Hierusalem
It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52 and sent messengers before him. And they went and entred into a citie of the Samaritans to make redy for him.
and sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
53 But they wolde not receave him be cause his face was as though he wolde goo to Ierusalem.
But they did not receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem.
54 When his disciples Iames and Iohn sawe yt they sayde: Lorde wilt thou that we comaunde that fyre come doune from heven and consume them even as Helias dyd?
When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and consume them?"
55 Iesus turned about and rebuked them sayinge: ye wote not what maner sprete ye are of.
And he turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not realize what kind of Spirit you belong to.
56 The sonne of ma ys not come to destroye mennes lives but to save them. And they went to another toune.
For the Son of Man did not come to destroy people's lives, but to save them." And they went to another village.
57 And it chaunsed as he went in the waye a certayne man sayd vnto him: I will folowe the whither soever thou goo.
As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, "I want to follow you wherever you go."
58 Iesus sayd vnto him: foxes have holes and bryddes of ye ayer have nestes: but the sonne of man hath not where on to laye his heed.
And Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
59 And he sayde vnto another: folowe me. And the same sayde: Lorde suffre me fyrst to goo and bury my father.
He said to another, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father."
60 Iesus sayd vnto him: Let the deed bury their deed: but goo thou and preache the kyngdome of God.
But Jesus said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce the kingdom of God."
61 And another sayde: I wyll folowe the Lorde: but let me fyrst goo byd them fare well which are at home at my housse.
Another also said, "I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those who are at my house."
62 Iesus sayde vnto him: No man that putteth his honde to the plowe and loketh backe is apte to the kyngdome of God.
But Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
