| [1]And aftir these thingis the Lord Jhesu ordeynede also othir seuenti and tweyn, and sente hem bi tweyn and tweyn bifor his face in to euery citee and place, whidir he was to come. |
[1]After these things, the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city, and place, whither he himself would come. |
| [2]And he seide to hem, There is myche ripe corn, and fewe werke men; therfor preie ye the lord of the ripe corn, that he sende werke men in to his ripe corn. |
[2]Therefore said he to them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest. |
| [3]Go ye, lo! Y sende you as lambren among wolues. |
[3]Go: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. |
| [4]Therfor nyle ye bere a sachel, nethir scrippe, nethir schoon, and greete ye no man bi the weie. |
[4]Carry neither purse, nor sack, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. |
| [5]In to what hous that ye entren, first seie ye, Pees to this hous. |
[5]And into whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. |
| [6]And if a sone of pees be there, youre pees schal reste on hym; but if noon, it schal turne ayen to you. |
[6]And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. |
| [7]And dwelle ye in the same hous, etynge and drynkynge tho thingis that ben at hem; for a werk man is worthi his hire. Nyle ye passe from hous in to hous. |
[7]And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. |
| [8]And in to what euer citee ye entren, and thei resseyuen you, ete ye tho thingis that ben set to you; |
[8]And into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. |
| [9]and heele ye the sijke men that ben in that citee. And seie ye to hem, The kyngdom of God schal neiye in to you. |
[9]And heal the sick that are therein, and say to them, The kingdom of God is come nigh to you. |
| [10]In to what citee ye entren, and thei resseyuen you not, go ye out in to the streetis of it, |
[10]But into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets of the same, and say, |
| [11]and seie ye, We wipen of ayens you the poudir that cleued to vs of youre citee; netheles wite ye this thing, that the rewme of God schal come nyy. |
[11]Even the very dust of your city which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding, be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh to you. |
| [12]Y seie to you, that to Sodom it schal be esiere than to that citee in that dai. |
[12]But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city. |
| [13]Wo to thee, Corosayn; wo to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon the vertues hadden be don, whiche han be don in you, sum tyme thei wolden haue sete in heyre and asches, and haue don penaunce. |
[13]Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented sitting in sackcloth and ashes. |
| [14]Netheles to Tire and Sidon it schal be esiere in the doom than to you. |
[14]But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. |
| [15]And thou, Cafarnaum, art enhaunsid `til to heuene; thou schalt be drenchid `til in to helle. |
[15]And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shall be thrust down to hell. |
| [16]He that herith you, herith me; and he that dispisith you, dispisith me; and he that dispisith me, dispisith hym that sente me. |
[16]He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me. |
| [17]And the two and seuenti disciplis turneden ayen with ioye, and seiden, Lord, also deuelis ben suget to vs in thi name. |
[17]And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through thy name. |
| [18]And he seide to hem, Y saiy Sathnas fallynge doun fro heuene, as leit. |
[18]And he said to them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. |
| [19]And lo! Y haue youun to you power to trede on serpentis, and on scorpyouns, and on al the vertu of the enemy, and nothing schal anoye you. |
[19]Behold, I give to you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. |
| [20]Netheles nyle ye ioye on this thing, that spiritis ben suget to you; but ioye ye, that youre names ben writun in heuenes. |
[20]Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject to you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. |
| [21]In thilk our he gladide in the Hooli Goost, and seide, Y knouleche to thee, fadir, Lord of heuene and of erthe, for thou hast hid these thingis fro wise men and prudent, and hast schewid hem to smale children. Yhe, fadir, for so it pleside bifor thee. |
[21]In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. |
| [22]Alle thingis ben youun to me of my fadir, and no man woot, who is the sone, but the fadir; and who is the fadir, but the sone, and to whom the sone wole schewe. |
[22]All things are delivered to me by my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. |
| [23]And he turnede to hise disciplis, and seide, Blessid ben the iyen, that seen tho thingis that ye seen. |
[23]And he turned himself to his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see. |
| [24]For Y seie to you, that many prophetis and kyngis wolden haue seie tho thingis, that ye seen, and thei sayn not; and here tho thingis, that ye heren, and thei herden not. |
[24]For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard them. |
| [25]And lo! a wise man of the lawe ros vp, temptynge hym, and seiynge, Maister, what thing schal Y do to haue euerlastynge lijf? |
[25]And behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? |
| [26]And he seide to hym, What is writun in the lawe? hou redist thou? |
[26]He said to him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? |
| [27]He answeride, and seide, Thou schalt loue thi Lord God of al thin herte, and of al thi soule, and of alle thi strengthis, and of al thi mynde; and thi neiybore as thi silf. |
[27]And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. |
| [28]And Jhesus seide to hym, Thou hast answerid riytli; do this thing, and thou schalt lyue. |
[28]And he said to him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. |
| [29]But he willynge to iustifie hym silf, seide to Jhesu, And who is my neiybore? |
[29]But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor? |
| [30]And Jhesu biheld, and seide, A man cam doun fro Jerusalem in to Jerico, and fel among theues, and thei robbiden hym, and woundiden hym, and wente awei, and leften the man half alyue. |
[30]And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. |
| [31]And it bifel, that a prest cam doun the same weie, and passide forth, whanne he hadde seyn hym. |
[31]And by chance there came down a certain priest that way; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. |
| [32]Also a dekene, whanne he was bisidis the place, and saiy him, passide forth. |
[32]And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. |
| [33]But a Samaritan, goynge the weie, cam bisidis hym; and he siy hym, and hadde reuthe on hym; |
[33]But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came were he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, |
| [34]and cam to hym, and boond togidir hise woundis, and helde in oyle and wynne; and leide hym on his beest, and ledde in to an ostrie, and dide the cure of hym. |
[34]And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. |
| [35]And another dai he brouyte forth twey pans, and yaf to the ostiler, and seide, Haue the cure of hym; and what euer thou schalt yyue ouer, Y schal yelde to thee, whanne Y come ayen. |
[35]And on the morrow, when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said to him, Take care of him: and whatever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. |
| [36]Who of these thre, semeth to thee, was neiybore to hym, that fel among theues? |
[36]Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers? |
| [37]And he seide, He that dide merci in to hym. And Jhesus seide to hym, Go thou, and do thou on lijk maner. |
[37]And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus to him, Go, and do thou likewise. |
| [38]And it was don, while thei wenten, he entride in to a castel; and a womman, Martha bi name, resseyuede hym in to hir hous. |
[38]Now it came to pass, as they were going, he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her house. |
| [39]And to this was a sistir, Marie bi name, which also sat bisidis the feet of the Lord, and herde his word. |
[39]And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. |
| [40]But Martha bisiede aboute the ofte seruyce. And sche stood, and seide, Lord, takist thou no kepe, that my sistir hath left me aloone to serue? therfor seie thou to hir, that sche helpe me. |
[40]But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. |
| [41]And the Lord answerde, and seide to hir, Martha, Martha, thou art bysi, and art troublid aboute ful many thingis; |
[41]And Jesus answered, and said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious, and troubled about many things: |
| [42]but o thing is necessarie. Marie hath chosun the best part, which schal not be takun awei fro hir. |
[42]But one thing is needful; and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. |
