Luke 8
1 And it fortuned after that that he him sylfe went throughout cities and tounes preachynge and shewinge ye kyngdom of God and the twelve with him.
And it came to pass afterwards that He went through every city and village, preaching and declaring the good tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with Him;
2 And also certayne wemen which wer healed of evell spretes and infirmities: Mary called Magdalen out of whom went seven devyls
and some women that had been cured of evil spirits and other infirmities, as Mary Magdalene, out of whom were cast seven demons,
3 and Ioanna ye wyfe of Chusa Herodees stewarde and Susanna and many other: which ministred vnto the of their substaunce.
and Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who assisted Him with their substance.
4 When moch people were gadred to gether and were come to him out of all cities he spake by a similitude.
And when a great multitude was gathered together, of those that came to Him out of every city, He spake a parable saying,
5 A sower went out to sowe his seede: and as he sowed some fell by the waye syde and it was troden vnder fete and the foules of the ayre devoured it vp.
A sower went out to sow his seed, and as he was sowing, some fell by the way-side, and was trodden down, and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 And some fell on ston and assone as it was spronge vp it widdred awaye because it lacked moystnes.
And some fell upon stony ground, and as soon as it sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 And some fell amonge thornes and ye thornes spronge vp with it and choked it.
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it.
8 And some fell on good grounde and sproge vp and bare frute an hondred foolde. And as he sayde these thinges he cryed: He that hath eares to heare let him heare.
But some fell on good ground, and sprang up and yielded fruit an hundred-fold. And as He said these things He cried out, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
9 And his disciples axed him sayinge: what maner similitude is this?
And his disciples asked Him, what might be the meaning of this parable.
10 And he sayde: vnto you is it geven to knowe the secretes of the kyngdom of God: but to other in similitudes that when they se they shuld not se: and when they heare they shuld not vnderstonde.
And He said, To you it is granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but I speak to others in parables, that in seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11 The similitude is this. The seede is ye worde of God.
Now this is the meaning of the parable, The seed is the word of God:
12 Thoose yt are besyde the waye are they that heare and afterwarde cometh ye devyll and taketh awaye the worde out of their hertes lest they shuld beleve and be saved.
and those by the way-side, are such as hear indeed; but then the devil cometh and taketh away the word from their hearts, least they should believe and be saved.
13 They on the stonnes are they which when they heare receave the worde with ioye. But these have noo rootes which for a whyle beleve and in tyme of temtacio goo awaye.
And those on stony-ground are such as when they hear, receive the word with joy; but have no root, and so believe only for a while, and in the time of trial fall away.
14 And yt which fell amonge thornes are they which heare and goo forth and are choked wt cares and wt riches and volupteous lyvinge and bringe forth noo frute.
And that which fell among thorns, are those who when they have heard the word go away and are choked with the cares and riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 That in ye good grounde are they which with a good and pure hert heare the worde and kepe it and bringe forth frute with pacience.
But that on the good ground, are those who having heard the word, retain it in a good and honest heart, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 No man lyghteth a candell and covereth it vnder a vessell nether putteth it vnder ye table: but setteth it on a candelsticke that they that enter in maye se ye lyght.
No man when he hath lighted a candle covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a couch; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light.
17 No thinge is in secret yt shall not come abroode: Nether eny thinge hyd that shall not be knowen and come to lyght.
(For there is nothing secret, that shall not be made manifest: nor any thing concealed, which shall not be made known and come to light.)
18 Take hede therfore how ye heare. For whosoever hath to him shalbe geve: And whosoever hath not fro him shalbe take even that same which he supposeth that he hath.
Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever improveth what he hath, to him shall more be given; and whosoever hath not, even what he seemeth to have shall be taken from him.
19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren and coulde not come at him for prease.
Now his mother and his brethren came to Him, and could not come at Him for the croud:
20 And they tolde him sayinge: Thy mother and thy brethren stonde with out and wolde se the.
and it was told Him, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without desiring to see thee.
21 He answered and sayd vnto them: my mother and my brethren are these which heare the worde of God and do it.
And He answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these that hear the word of God and do it.
22 And it chaunsed on a certayne daye that he went into a shippe and his disciples also and he sayde vnto them: Let vs goo over vnto the other syde of the lake. And they Lanched forthe.
And it came to pass on one of the days that He went into a ship, Himself and his disciples, and He said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake.
23 And as they sayled he fell a slepe and there arose a storme of wynde in ye lake and they were fylled with water and were in ieopardy.
And they launched forth: but as they were failing, He fell asleep: and a storm of wind came down upon the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in great danger.
24 And they went to him and awoke him sayinge: Master Master we are loost. Then he arose and rebuked the wynde and the tempest of water and they ceased and it wexed calme.
And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, Master, master, we are perishing. Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 And he sayd vnto the: where is youre faith? They feared and wondred sayinge one to another: what felowe is this? for he comaundeth bothe the wyndes and water and they obey him?
And He said unto them, Where is your faith? But they were struck with awe and amazement, and said one to another, who is this? for He commandeth even the winds and the sea, and they obey Him.
26 And they sayled vnto the region of ye Gaderenites which is over agaynst Galile.
And they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 And as he went out to londe ther met him a certayne man out of ye cite which had a devyll longe tyme and ware noo clothes nether aboode in eny housse: but amonge graves.
And when He was landed, there met Him a man out of the city, who had been possessed by demons a long while, and wore no clothes, and abode in no dwelling but the tombs.
28 When he sawe Iesus he cryed and fell doune before him and with a loude voyce sayde: What have I to do with the Iesus the sonne of the God moost hyest? I beseche the torment me not.
But when he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down to Him, and said with a loud voice, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.
29 Then he comaunded ye foule sprete to come out of the man. For ofte tymes he caught him and he was bounde with chaynes and kept with fetters: and he brake the bondes and was caryed of the fende into wyldernes.
(For He commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man; which had oftentimes seized him so violently, that tho' he was bound with chains and fetters, yet he broke the bands asunder, and was driven by the demon into those lonely places.)
30 And Iesus axed him sayinge: what is thy name? And he sayde: Legion because many devyls were entred into him.
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? and he said, Legion: because many demons were entred into him.
And they besought Him that He would not command them to go into the abyss: (Abyssos g12)
32 And ther was there by an heerde of many swyne fedynge on an hyll: and they besought him yt he wolde soffre the to enter into the. And he soffred the.
but as there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, they intreated Him that He would suffer them to enter into them, and He permitted them.
33 Then went the devyls out of the man and entred into the swyne: And the heerd toke their course and ran heedlynge into the lake and were choked.
So the demons went out of the man and entred into the swine: and the herd ran violently down the hill into the lake and were drowned.
34 When the herdmen sawe what had chaunsed they fleed and tolde it in the cite and in the villages.
And when those that looked after them saw what was done they fled; and went and told it in city and country:
35 And they came out to se what was done: and came to Iesus and founde ye man out of who the devyls were departed sittynge at the fete of Iesus clothed and in his right mynde and they were afrayde.
and the people went out to see what was done, and came to Jesus; and found the man, from whom the demons were gone out, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind:
36 They also wich sawe it tolde the by what meanes he yt was possessed of ye devyll was healed.
and they were afraid, for those that saw it told them how the demoniac was healed.
37 And all the whole multitude of ye cotrye of the Gaderenites besought him yt he wolde departe from the: for they were taken wt greate feare. And he gate him into the shippe and returned backe agayne.
And all the people of the country round about the Gadarenes desired Him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear: and He went into the ship and returned.
38 Then the man out of whom the devyls were departed besought him yt he myght be wt him: But Iesus sent him awaye sayinge:
Now the man from whom the demons were gone out, prayed Him to let him be with Him: but Jesus sent him away,
39 Goo home agayne into thyne awne housse and shewe what great thinges God hath done to ye. And he went his waye and preached thorow out all the cite what great thinges Iesus had done vnto him.
saying, Return home, and relate what God hath done for thee. So he went away publishing through the whole city what great things Jesus had done to him.
40 And it fortuned when Iesus was come agayne that ye people receaved him. For they all wayted for him.
And when Jesus returned, a great multitude of people received Him; for they were all waiting for Him.
41 And beholde ther came a man named Iairus (and he was a ruler of ye synagoge) and he fell doune at Iesus fete and besought him yt he wolde come into his housse
And behold there came a man whose name was Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, and he fell at the feet of Jesus, and intreated Him to come into his house:
42 for he had but a doughter only apon a twelve yere of age and she laye a dyinge. And as he went the people thronged him.
for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. (But as He was going, the people crouded Him:
43 And a woman havynge an issue of bloud twelve yeres (which had spent all her substance amonge phisicios nether coulde be holpen of eny)
and a woman who had been in a flux twelve years, and had spent her whole livelyhood upon physicians,
44 came behinde him and touched the hem of his garmet and immediatly her issue of bloud staunched.
but could not be healed by any, came close behind Him and touched the hem of his garment, and immediately her flux was stopt.
45 And Iesus sayde: Who is it that touched me? when every man denyed Peter and they yt were with him sayde: Master the people thrust the and vexe the: and sayest thou who touched me?
And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied it, Peter, and those that were with him, said, Sir, the multitudes throng and press thee, and dost thou ask, Who was it that touched me?
46 And Iesus sayd: Some body touched me. For I perceave that vertue is gone out of me.
And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive a peculiar virtue is gone out of me.
47 When the woman sawe that she was not hid she came trimblynge and fell at is fete and tolde him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she was healed immediatly.
And when the woman saw that she was not concealed, she came trembling, and fell down to Him, and declared before all the people, for what reason she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 And he sayde vnto hyr: Doughter be of good comforte Thy faith hath made the hoale goo in peace.
And He said unto her, Daughter, be comforted, thy faith has healed thee, go in peace.)
49 Whyll he yet spake there came one from ye rulers of the synagogis housse which sayde to him: thy doughter is deed disease not the master.
While He was yet speaking, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's, and said to Him, Thy daughter is dead, trouble not the Master.
50 When Iesus hearde that He answered the father sayinge: Feare not beleve only and she shalbe made whole.
But Jesus hearing it, answered saying, Fear not, only believe, and she shall be recovered.
51 And when he came to ye housse he suffred no man to goo in with him save Peter Iames and Iohn and the father and the mother of the mayden.
And when He came to the house, He suffered none to go in but Peter, and James, and John, and the father and mother of the child.
52 Every body weept and sorowed for her. And he sayde: Wepe not: for she is not deed but slepeth.
And they were all weeping and bewailing her: but He said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 And they lewgh him to scorne. For they knew that she was deed.
And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.
54 And he thrust the all out and caught her by the honde and cryed sayinge: Mayde aryse.
But He turned them all out, and taking hold of her hand, called to her, saying, Child, arise.
55 And hyr sprete came agayne and she roose strayght waye. And he commaunded to geve her meate.
And her spirit returned, and immediately she stood up: and He ordered something to be given her to eat.
56 And the father and the mother of hyr were astonyed. But he warned the that they shuld tell noo man what was done.
And her parents were exceedingly astonished: but He charged them to tell no one what was done.
