[1]And he entred agayne into the synagogue, & a man was there whiche had a wythered hande
[2]And they watched hym, whether he woulde heale hym on the Sabboth daye, that they myght accuse hym
[3]And he saide vnto the man which had the wythered hande: Aryse, [and stande] in the myddes
[4]And he saide vnto them: Is it lawful to do good on the Sabboth dayes, or to do euyl? to saue lyfe, or to kyll? But they helde their peace
[5]And when he had loked rounde about on them with anger, mournyng for the hardnesse of their heartes, he sayth to the man: stretch foorth thyne hande. And he stretched it out: And his hande was restored, euen as whole as the other
[6]And the pharisees departed, and strayghtway gathered a councell, with the Herodians, agaynst hym, that they myght destroy hym
[7]But Iesus auoyded, with his disciples, to the sea: And a great multitude folowed hym from Galilee, and from Iurie
[8]And from Hierusalem, & from Idumea, and from beyonde Iordane, and they that dwelled about Tyre & Sidon, a great multitude [of men:] Which, whe they had hearde what thynges he dyd, came vnto hym
[9]And Iesus comaunded his disciples, that a shippe shoulde wayte on hym, because of the people, leste they shoulde thronge hym
[10]For he had healed many: insomuche, that they preassed vpon him for to touch hym, as many as had plagues
[11]And when the vncleane spirites sawe hym, they fell downe before hym, and cryed, saying: Thou art the sonne of God
[12]And he straytely charged them, that they shoulde not make hym knowen
[13]And he went vp into a mountayne, & called vnto him whom he woulde: and they came vnto hym
[14]And he ordeyned twelue, that they shoulde be with him, and that he might sende them foorth to preache
[15]And that they myght haue power to heale sicknesses, and to cast out deuyls
[16]And he gaue vnto Simon to name, Peter
[17]And he called Iames [the sonne] of Zebedee, and Iohn, Iames brother (and gaue them to name Boanarges, which is to say, the sonnes of thunder.
[18]And Andrewe, and Philip, and Bartholomewe, and Matthewe, and Thomas, and Iames the sonne of Alphee, and Thaddeus, and Simon Cananite
[19]And Iudas Iscariot, which also betrayed hym. And they came into the house
[20]And the people assembled together agayne, so that they had no leysure so much as to eate bread
[21]And when they that belonged vnto hym, hearde of it, they went out to laye handes vpon hym: For they sayde, he is madde
[22]And the scribes whiche came downe from Hierusalem, sayde: He hath Beelzebub, and by the chiefe deuyll, casteth he out deuyls
[23]And he called them vnto hym, & sayde vnto them in parables: Howe can Satan driue out Satan
[24]And yf a realme be deuided agaynst it selfe, that realme can not endure
[25]And yf a house be deuided agaynst it selfe, that house can not continue
[26]And yf Satan make insurrection agaynst him selfe & be deuided, he can not continue, but hath an ende
[27]No man can enter into a strong mans house, and take away his goodes, except he first bynde the strong man, and then spoyle his house
[28]Ueryly I say vnto you, al sinnes shalbe forgeuen vnto the chyldren of men, & blasphemies wherewith so euer they haue blasphemed
[29]But he that speaketh blasphemie agaynst the holy ghoste, hath neuer forgeuenesse, but is in daunger of eternall dampnation
[30]For they sayde: he hath an vncleane spirite
[31]There came also his mother, and his brethren, and stoode without, and sent vnto hym, to call hym out
[32]And the people sate about him, & saide vnto hym: Beholde, thy mother and thy brethren seke for thee without
[33]And he aunswered them, saying: who is my mother, and my brethren
[34]And when he had loked rounde about on his disciples, which sate in compasse about hym, he sayde: Beholde my mother, and my brethren
[35]For whosoeuer doeth the wyl of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother
