\par }\ChapOne{CHAPTER 1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
{\SLS{(The beginning of the Gospel, or the Good News, of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{2}As it is written in Esaias, the prophet,
{\SLS{(or As it is written by the prophet Isaiah)}}, Lo! I send mine angel before thy face, that shall make thy way ready before thee.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}The voice of a crier in
{\SLS{(the)}} desert, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, make ye his paths right.
{\ADD{[The voice of one crying in
{\SLS{(the)}} desert, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, make ye his paths rightful.]}}


\par }{\PP \VS{4}John was in
{\SLS{(the)}} desert baptizing, and preaching the baptism of penance, into
{\SLS{(the)}} remission of sins.
{\SLS{(John was in the desert baptizing, and preaching the baptism of repentance, for the forgiveness of sins.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{5}And all the country of Judea went out to him, and all
{\SLS{(the)}} men of Jerusalem; and they were baptized of him in the flume of Jordan,
{\ADD{[or in the flood of Jordan]}},
{\SLS{(or and they were baptized by him in the Jordan River)}}, acknowledging their sins.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}And John was clothed with hairs of camels, and a girdle of skin
{\EM{was}} about his loins; and he ate honeysuckles, and wild honey,
{\ADD{[or and he ate locusts, and honey of the wood]}},


\par }{\PP \VS{7}and preached, and said, A stronger than I shall come after me, and I am not worthy to kneel down, and unloose,
{\ADD{[or to undo, or unbind], [the thong of]}} his shoes.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}I have baptized you in water; but he shall baptize you in the Holy Ghost
{\SLS{(or but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}And it was done in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in
{\SLS{(the)}} Jordan
{\SLS{(or and was baptized by John in the Jordan River)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}And anon he went up
{\SLS{(out)}} of the water, and saw
{\SLS{(the)}} heavens opened, and the Holy Ghost
{\ADD{[or the
{\SLS{(Holy)}} Spirit]}} coming down as a culver, and dwelling on him.
{\SLS{(And at once he went up out of the water, and saw the heavens opened, and the Holy Spirit coming down like a dove, and remaining on him.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{11}And a voice was made from
{\SLS{(the)}} heavens, Thou art my
{\SLS{(be)}}loved Son, in thee I am pleased.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}And anon the Spirit put him forth into
{\SLS{(the)}} desert.
{\SLS{(And at once the Spirit led him forth into the desert.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{13}And he was in
{\SLS{(the)}} desert forty days and forty nights, and was tempted of Satan, and he was with beasts, and angels ministered to him.
{\SLS{(And he was in the desert for forty days and forty nights, and was tested by Satan, and he was with beasts, and angels served him.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{14}But after that John was taken, Jesus came into Galilee, and preached the gospel of the kingdom of God,
{\SLS{(But after that John was taken captive, Jesus came to Galilee, and preached the Gospel, or the Good News, of the Kingdom of God,)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{15}and said, That the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God shall come nigh; do ye penance
{\ADD{[or forthink ye]}}, and believe ye to the gospel.
{\SLS{(and said, The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God hath come near; repent, and believe the Gospel or the Good News.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{16}And as he passed beside the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, his brother, casting their nets into the sea; for they were fishers.
{\SLS{(And as he walked beside Lake Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, his brother, throwing their nets into the lake; for they were fishermen.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{17}And Jesus said to them, Come ye after me; I shall make you to be made fishers of men.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}And anon they left the nets, and
{\SLS{(pur)}}sued him.
{\SLS{(And at once they left their nets, and followed him.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{19}And he went forth from thence a little, and saw James of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in a boat making their nets.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}And anon
{\SLS{(or at once)}} he called them; and they left Zebedee, their father, in the boat with
{\SLS{(the)}} hired servants, and they
{\SLS{(pur)}}sued him
{\SLS{(or and they followed him)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{21}And they entered into Capernaum, and anon in the sabbaths
{\SLS{(or and at once on the Sabbath)}}, he went into the synagogue, and taught them.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}And they wondered on his teaching; for he taught them, as he that had power, and not as
{\ADD{[the]}} scribes.


\par }{\PP \VS{23}And in the synagogue of them was a man in an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
{\SLS{(And in their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{24}and said, What to us and to thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? hast thou come to destroy us? I know that thou art the holy
{\SLS{(One)}} of God.


\par }{\PP \VS{25}And Jesus threatened him, and said, Wax
{\ADD{[thou]}} dumb
{\SLS{(or Be silent)}}, and go out of the man.


\par }{\PP \VS{26}And the unclean spirit wrenching him, and crying with a great voice, went out from him.


\par }{\PP \VS{27}And all men wondered, so that they sought within themselves, and said,
{\SLS{(or so that they asked among themselves, and said)}}, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for in power he commandeth to unclean spirits, and they obey to him.


\par }{\PP \VS{28}And the fame,
{\ADD{[or the tale, or
{\SLS{(the)}} tiding{\SLS{(s)}}]}}, of him went forth anon into all the country of Galilee.
{\SLS{(And the story about him went forth at once throughout all the province of Galilee.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{29}And anon
{\SLS{(or at once)}} they went out of the synagogue, and came into the house of Simon and of Andrew, with James and John.


\par }{\PP \VS{30}And the mother of Simon’s wife lay sick in the fevers; and anon they say to him of her
{\SLS{(or and at once they told him about her)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{31}And he came nigh, and areared her
{\ADD{[up]}}, and when he had taken her hand, anon the fever left her
{\SLS{(or at once the fever left her)}}, and she served them.


\par }{\PP \VS{32}But when the eventide was come, and the sun was gone down, they brought to him all that were of mal-ease, and them that had fiends.
{\ADD{[Forsooth the evening made, when the sun went down, they brought to him all having evil, and having devils.]}}{\SLS{(But when the evening had come, and the sun had gone down, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who had demons.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{33}And all the city was gathered at the gate.


\par }{\PP \VS{34}And he healed many, that had diverse sicknesses, and he cast out many fiends
{\ADD{[or devils]}}, and he suffered them not to speak, for they knew him.
{\SLS{(And he healed many, who had various sicknesses, and he threw out many demons, and he did not allow them to speak, for they knew who he was.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{35}And he rose full early
{\ADD{[or in the morrowing]}},
{\SLS{(or And he rose early in the morning)}}, and went out, and went into a desert place, and prayed there.


\par }{\PP \VS{36}And Simon
{\SLS{(pur)}}sued him
{\SLS{(or And Simon followed him)}}, and they that were with him.


\par }{\PP \VS{37}And when they had found him, they said to him, That all men seek thee.


\par }{\PP \VS{38}And he said to them, Go we into the next towns and cities, that I preach also there, for thereto
{\ADD{[or to
{\SLS{(or for)}} this thing]}} I came.
{\SLS{(And he said to them, Let us go to the next towns and cities, so that I can also preach there, for I came for this purpose.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{39}And he preached in the synagogues of them, and in all Galilee, and casted out fiends.
{\SLS{(And he preached in their synagogues, and throughout all of Galilee, and threw out devils and demons.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{40}And a leprous man came to him, and besought
{\ADD{[him]}}, kneeling, and said, If thou wilt, thou mayest cleanse me,
{\SLS{(or If thou desirest it, or If thou want to do it, thou can cleanse me)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{41}And Jesus had mercy on him, and stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, I will, be thou made clean.


\par }{\PP \VS{42}And when he had said this, anon
{\SLS{(or at once)}} the leprosy parted away from him
{\ADD{[or anon the leprosy went away from him]}}, and he was cleansed.


\par }{\PP \VS{43}And Jesus threatened
{\SLS{(or warned)}} him, and anon
{\SLS{(or at once)}} put him out,


\par }{\PP \VS{44}and said to him, See thou, say to no man; but go, show thee to the prince of
{\SLS{(the)}} priests, and offer for thy cleansing into witnessing to them, those things that Moses bade.
{\SLS{(and said to him, See that thou tell no one; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing as a testimony to them, those things that Moses commanded.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{45}And he went out, and began to preach, and to publish the word, so that now he might not go openly into the city, but be withoutforth in
{\SLS{(the)}} desert places; and they came to him on all sides.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And again he entered into Capernaum, after eight days. And it was heard, that he was in an house,


\par }{\PP \VS{2}and many came together, so that they might not be in the house, nor at the gate. And he spake to them the word.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}And there came to him men that brought a man sick in the palsy, which was borne of four
{\ADD{[men]}}.
{\ADD{[And there came to him men bringing or bearing a sick man in palsy, the which was borne of four men.]}}{\SLS{(And there came to him men that brought a man sick with palsy, who was carried by four men.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{4}And when they might not bring him to Jesus for the people, they uncovered the roof where he was, and
{\ADD{[they]}} opened it, and they let down the bed in which the sick man in palsy lay.


\par }{\PP \VS{5}And when Jesus had seen the faith of them, he said to the sick man in palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven to thee.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}But there were some of the scribes sitting
{\SLS{(there)}}, and thinking in their hearts,


\par }{\PP \VS{7}What speaketh he thus? He blasphemeth; who may forgive sins,
{\ADD{[no]}} but God alone?
{\SLS{(Why speaketh he thus? He blasphemeth; for who can forgive sins, except God alone?)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{8}And
{\ADD{[anon]}} when Jesus had known this by the Holy Ghost, that they thought so within themselves, he saith to them, What think ye these things in your hearts?
{\SLS{(And at once when Jesus had known this by the Holy Spirit, that they thought so within themselves, he said to them, Why think these things in your hearts?)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{9}What is lighter
{\SLS{(or is easier)}} to say to the sick man in palsy, Sins be forgiven to thee, or to say, Rise
{\SLS{(up)}}, take thy bed, and walk?


\par }{\PP \VS{10}But
{\SLS{(so)}} that ye know that man’s Son hath power in earth
{\SLS{(or on the earth)}} to forgive sins, he said to the sick man in palsy,


\par }{\PP \VS{11}I say to thee, rise up, take thy bed, and go into thine house.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}And anon he rose up, and when he had taken the bed, he went before all men, so that all men wondered, and honoured God, and said, For we saw never so.
{\SLS{(And at once he rose up, and when he had taken the bed, he went forth before everyone, so that everyone wondered, and worshipped God, and said, For we have never seen anything like this.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{13}And he went out again to the sea, and all the people came to him; and he taught them.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}And when he passed
{\SLS{(by)}}, he saw Levi of Alphaeus sitting at the tollbooth, and he said to him,
{\SLS{(Pur)}}Sue me. And he rose, and
{\SLS{(pur)}}sued him.
{\SLS{(And when he passed by, he saw Levi of Alphaeus sitting at the tollbooth, and he said to him, Follow me. And he rose, and followed him.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{15}And it was done, when he sat at the meat in his house, many publicans and sinful men sat together at the meat with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many that followed him.
{\SLS{(And it was done, when he sat at a meal in his house, many tax-collectors and sinners sat there at the meal with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many that followed him.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{16}And
{\SLS{(the)}} scribes and
{\SLS{(the)}} Pharisees seeing, that he ate with publicans and sinful men, said to his disciples, Why eateth and drinketh your master with publicans and sinners?
{\SLS{(And the scribes and the Pharisees seeing, that he ate with tax-collectors and sinners, said to his disciples, Why eateth and drinketh your teacher with tax-collectors and sinners?)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{17}When this was heard, Jesus said to them, Whole men have no need to a leech,
{\SLS{(no)}} but they that be evil-at-ease
{\SLS{(do)}},
{\ADD{[or
{\SLS{(no)}} but they that have evil
{\SLS{(do)}}]}},
{\SLS{(Healthy men have no need for a physician, only those who have sickness)}}; for I came not to call just men, but sinners.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they came, and said to him, Why
{\EM{fast}} the disciples of John, and the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?


\par }{\PP \VS{19}And Jesus said to them, Whether the sons of the spousals
{\ADD{[or of the weddings]}} may fast, as long as the spouse is with them? As long
{\SLS{(a)}} time as they have the spouse with them, they may not fast,
{\SLS{(or they cannot fast, or they shall not fast)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}But
{\SLS{(the)}} days shall come, when the spouse shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast in those days.


\par }{\PP \VS{21}No man seweth a patch of new cloth to an old cloth, else he taketh away the new patch from the old, and a more breaking is made.
{\SLS{(No one seweth a patch of new cloth onto an old cloak, because the new patch will tear away from the old, and a bigger hole will be made.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{22}And no man putteth new wine into old bottles, else the wine shall burst the bottles, and the wine shall be shed out, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine shall be put into new bottles.
{\ADD{[And no man putteth new wine into old wine vessels, else the wine shall burst or shall break the wine vessels, and the wine shall be poured out, and the wine vessels shall perish. But new wine oweth
{\SLS{(or ought)}} to be put into new wine vessels.]}}


\par }{\PP \VS{23}And it was done again, when the Lord walked in the sabbaths by the corns
{\SLS{(or when the Lord walked through a cornfield on the Sabbath)}}, and his disciples began to pass forth
{\ADD{[or to go forth]}}, and
{\ADD{[to]}} pluck
{\SLS{(the)}} ears of the corn.


\par }{\PP \VS{24}And the Pharisees said to him, Lo! what thy disciples do in the sabbaths, that is not leaveful.
{\SLS{(And the Pharisees said to him, Behold! what thy disciples do on the Sabbath, that is not lawful.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{25}And he said to them, Read ye never what David did, when he had need, and he hungered, and they that were with him?


\par }{\PP \VS{26}How he went into the house of God, under Abiathar,
{\SLS{(the)}} prince of
{\SLS{(the)}} priests, and ate
{\SLS{(the)}} loaves of proposition,
{\ADD{[either of setting forth]}}, which it was not leaveful to eat,
{\ADD{[no]}} but to
{\SLS{(the)}} priests alone, and he gave to them that were with him.
{\SLS{(How he went into the House of God, under the High Priest Abiathar, and ate the loaves of proposition, or the showbread, which it was not lawful to eat, except for the priests, and he gave some to those who were with him.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{27}And he said to them, The sabbath is made for man, and not man for the sabbath;


\par }{\PP \VS{28}and so man’s Son is Lord also of the sabbath.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man having a dry hand.


\par }{\PP \VS{2}And they espied him, if he healed in the sabbaths
{\SLS{(or on the Sabbath)}}, to accuse him.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}And he said to the man that had a dry hand, Rise
{\ADD{[thou]}} into the middle,
{\SLS{(or Stand here in our midst, or Stand before us)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{4}And he saith to them, Is it leaveful to do well in the sabbaths, either evil? to make a soul safe, either to lose? And they were still.
{\SLS{(And he said to them, Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath, or evil? to save a soul or a life, or to destroy it? And they were silent.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{5}And he beheld them about with wrath, and had sorrow on the blindness of their heart{\SLS{(s)}}, and saith to the man, Hold forth thine hand. And he held
{\SLS{(it)}} forth, and his hand was restored to him.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}Soothly
{\ADD{[the]}} Pharisees went out anon, and made a counsel with
{\SLS{(the)}} Herodians against him, how they should lose him.
{\SLS{(And the Pharisees went out at once, and took counsel, or made a plan, with the Herodians against him, how they could destroy him.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{7}But Jesus with his disciples went to the sea; and much people from Galilee and from Judea
{\SLS{(pur)}}sued him
{\SLS{(or and many people from Galilee and Judea followed him)}},


\par }{\PP \VS{8}and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond
{\SLS{(the)}} Jordan
{\SLS{(River)}}, and they that were about Tyre and Sidon,
{\SLS{(yea)}}, a great multitude, hearing the things that he did, came to him.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}And Jesus said to his disciples, that the boat should serve him, for the people, lest they thrust him
{\ADD{[or lest they oppressed him]}};


\par }{\PP \VS{10}for he healed many, so that they felled fast to him, to touch him. And how many ever had sicknesses,
{\ADD{[or sores, or wounds]}},


\par }{\PP \VS{11}and unclean spirits, when they saw him, felled down to him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}And greatly he menaced them, that they should not make him known.
{\SLS{(And he greatly threatened them, so that they would not make him known.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{13}And he went
{\SLS{(up)}} into an hill
{\SLS{(or And he went up onto a hill)}}, and called to him whom he would; and they came to him.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}And he made, that there were twelve with him, to send them
{\SLS{(out)}} to preach.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}And he gave to them power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out fiends
{\SLS{(or and to throw out devils and demons)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}And to Simon he gave a name, Peter,


\par }{\PP \VS{17}and
{\EM{he called}} James of Zebedee and John, the brother of James, and he gave to them
{\SLS{(the)}} names of Boanerges, that is, the sons of thundering
{\ADD{[or the sons of thunder]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}And
{\EM{he called}} Andrew and Philip, and Bartholomew and Matthew, and Thomas, and James
{\ADD{[of]}} Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon Canaanite,


\par }{\PP \VS{19}and Judas Iscariot, that betrayed him. And they came to an house,


\par }{\PP \VS{20}and the people came together again, so that they might not eat bread.
{\SLS{(and so many people came together there, that they could not even eat any food.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{21}And when his
{\EM{kinsmen}} had heard, they went out to
{\SLS{(take)}} hold
{\SLS{(of)}} him; for they said, that he is turned into madness.
{\SLS{(And when his
{\EM{family}} had heard, they went out to take hold of him; for people said, that he had gone mad.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{22}And the scribes that came down from Jerusalem, said, That he hath Beelzebub, and that in the prince of devils he casteth out fiends.
{\SLS{(And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem, said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the Prince of demons he throweth out demons.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{23}And he called them together, and he said to them in parables, How may Satan cast out Satan?
{\SLS{(or How can Satan throw out Satan?)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{24}And if a realm be parted against itself, that realm may not stand.
{\SLS{(And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{25}And if an house be parted against itself, that house may not stand.


\par }{\PP \VS{26}And if Satan hath risen against himself, he is parted
{\SLS{(or he is divided)}}, and he shall not be able to stand, but hath an end.


\par }{\PP \VS{27}No man may go into a strong man’s house, and take away his vessels,
{\ADD{[no]}} but he bind first the strong man
{\SLS{(or unless he first bind the strong man)}}, and then he shall spoil his house,
{\ADD{[or he shall ravish,
{\SLS{(or he shall rob)}}, his house]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{28}Truly I say to you
{\SLS{(or I tell you the truth)}}, that all sins and blasphemies, by which they have blasphemed, shall be forgiven to the sons of men.


\par }{\PP \VS{29}But he that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost, hath not remission into without end, but he shall be guilty of everlasting trespass.
{\SLS{(But he who blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit, shall never be forgiven, for he shall be guilty of eternal sin.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{30}For they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
{\SLS{(For people said, He hath an unclean spirit.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{31}And
{\SLS{(so)}} his mother and his brethren came, and stood withoutforth, and sent to him, and called him.


\par }{\PP \VS{32}And the people sat about him; and they said to him, Lo! thy mother and thy brethren withoutforth seek thee.


\par }{\PP \VS{33}And he answered to them, and said, Who is my mother and my brethren?


\par }{\PP \VS{34}And he beheld them that sat about him, and said, Lo! my mother and my brethren.


\par }{\PP \VS{35}For who that doeth the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and
{\SLS{(my)}} mother.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And again Jesus began to teach at the sea; and much people was gathered to him, so that he went into a boat, and sat in the sea, and all the people was about the sea on the land.


\par }{\PP \VS{2}And he taught them in parables many things. And he said to them in his teaching,


\par }{\PP \VS{3}Hear ye. Lo! a man sowing goeth out to sow,
{\ADD{[or Lo! a sower went out to sow]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{4}And while he soweth, some seed felled about the way
{\ADD{[or beside the way]}}, and
{\SLS{(the)}} birds of
{\SLS{(the)}} heaven{\SLS{(s)}},
{\ADD{[or the birds of the air]}}, came, and ate it.


\par }{\PP \VS{5}Other felled down on stony places, where it had not much earth; and anon it sprang up
{\SLS{(or and at once it sprouted)}}, for it had not
{\SLS{(any)}} deepness of earth
{\ADD{[or for it had no deepness of earth]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}And when the sun rose up, it withered for heat, and it dried up, for it had no root{\SLS{(s)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}And other felled down into thorns, and
{\ADD{[the]}} thorns sprang up, and strangled it, and it gave no fruit.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}And other felled down into good land, and gave fruit, springing up, and waxing
{\SLS{(or growing)}}; and one brought
{\SLS{(forth)}} thirtyfold, and one sixtyfold, and one an hundredfold.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}And he said, He that hath ears of hearing, hear he.
{\ADD{[And he said, He that hath ears to hear, hear.]}}


\par }{\PP \VS{10}And when he was by himself, the twelve that were with him asked him to expound the parable.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}And he said to them, To you it is given to know the private
{\ADD{[or the mystery]}} of the kingdom of God
{\SLS{(or To you it is given to know the secret of the Kingdom of God)}}. But to them that be withoutforth, all things be made in parables,


\par }{\PP \VS{12}{\SLS{(so)}} that they seeing see, and see not, and they hearing hear, and understand not; lest sometime they be converted, and
{\SLS{(their)}} sins be forgiven to them.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}And he said to them, Know not ye this parable? and how ye shall know all parables?
{\SLS{(And he said to them, Do ye not understand this parable? then how shall ye understand any parable?)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{14}He that soweth, soweth a word.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}But these it be that be about the way, where the word is sown; and when they have heard, anon cometh Satan
{\SLS{(or at once Satan cometh)}}, and taketh away the word that is sown in their hearts.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}And in like manner be these that be sown on stony places, which when they have heard the word, anon they take it with joy
{\SLS{(or at once they receive it with joy)}};


\par }{\PP \VS{17}and they have not root in themselves, but they be lasting
{\SLS{(but)}} a little time
{\ADD{[or but they be temporal]}}; afterward when tribulation riseth, and persecution for the word, anon
{\SLS{(or at once)}} they be caused to stumble.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}And there be others that be sown in thorns; these it be, that hear the word,


\par }{\PP \VS{19}and dis-ease of the world, and deceit of riches, and other charge of covetousness entereth
{\SLS{(or and the burden of envy entereth)}}, and strangleth the word, and it is made without fruit.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}And these it be that be sown on good land, which hear the word, and take
{\SLS{(it)}},
{\SLS{(or and receive it)}}, and make fruit, one thirtyfold, and one sixtyfold, and one an hundredfold.


\par }{\PP \VS{21}And he said to them, Whether a lantern cometh, that it be put under a bushel, or under a bed? nay, but that it be put on a candlestick?


\par }{\PP \VS{22}There is nothing hid, that shall not be made open
{\ADD{[or that shall not be showed]}}; neither anything is privy, that shall not come into
{\SLS{(the)}} open.
{\SLS{(There is nothing hidden, that shall not be made open or revealed; nor is anything private, or kept secret, that shall not be brought out into the open.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{23}If any man have ears of hearing, hear he.


\par }{\PP \VS{24}And he said to them, See ye what ye hear. In what measure ye mete, it shall be meted to you again, and
{\EM{it shall}} be cast to you
{\SLS{(or By which measure ye measure, it shall be measured unto you again, yea,
{\EM{it shall}} be thrown unto you)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{25}For it shall be given to him that hath, and it shall be taken away from him that hath not, also that that he hath.
{\ADD{[Forsooth it shall be given to him that hath, and if a man hath not, yea this that he hath shall be taken away from him.]}}


\par }{\PP \VS{26}And he said, So the kingdom of God is, as if a man cast seed into the earth,


\par }{\PP \VS{27}and he sleep, and it rise up night and day, and bring forth seed, and wax fast
{\SLS{(or grow fast)}}, while he knoweth not.


\par }{\PP \VS{28}For the earth
{\ADD{[by his own working, or by his own will]}},

\par }{\PP \VS{24}And the disciples were astonied in his words
{\SLS{(or And the disciples were astonished at his words)}}. And Jesus again answered, and said to them, Ye little children
{\ADD{[or Little sons]}}, how hard it is for men that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God.


\par }{\PP \VS{25}It is lighter
{\SLS{(for)}} a camel to pass through a needle’s eye
{\ADD{[or It is easier that a camel pass through a needle’s eye]}}, than
{\SLS{(for)}} a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.


\par }{\PP \VS{26}And they wondered more, and said among themselves, And who may be saved?
{\SLS{(or Then who can be saved?)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{27}And Jesus beheld them, and said, With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things be possible with God.


\par }{\PP \VS{28}And Peter began to say to him, Lo! we have left all things, and have
{\SLS{(pur)}}sued thee
{\SLS{(or and have followed thee)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{29}Jesus answered, and said, Truly I say to you
{\SLS{(or I tell you the truth)}}, there is no man that leaveth house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or fields for me and for the gospel,


\par }{\PP \VS{30}which shall not take an hundredfold so much now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields, with persecutions, and in the world to coming everlasting life

{\SLS{(who shall not now receive in this time a hundred times as much, yea, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields, with persecutions, and in the world to come eternal life.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{31}But many shall be, the first the last, and the last the first.


\par }{\PP \VS{32}And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them, and they wondered, and followed, and dreaded
{\SLS{(or had fear)}}. And again Jesus took the twelve
{\SLS{(aside)}}, and began to say to them, what things were to come to him.


\par }{\PP \VS{33}For lo! we ascend to Jerusalem, and man’s Son shall be betrayed to the princes of
{\SLS{(the)}} priests, and to
{\ADD{[the]}} scribes, and to the elder men; and they shall condemn him by death, and they shall
{\ADD{[be]}} take him to heathen men.
{\SLS{(For behold! we go up to Jerusalem, and man’s Son shall be betrayed to the high priests, and to the scribes, and to the elders; and they shall condemn him to death, and they shall deliver him to the heathens, or they shall hand him over to the Gentiles.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{34}And they shall scorn him, and bespit him, and beat him; and they shall slay him, and in the third day he shall rise again
{\SLS{(or and on the third day he shall rise again)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{35}And James and John, Zebedee’s sons, came to him, and said, Master, we will, that whatever we ask, thou do to us.
{\SLS{(And James and John, Zebedee’s sons, came to him, and said, Teacher, we desire, or we want, that whatever we ask, thou do for us.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{36}And he said to them, What will ye that I do to you?
{\SLS{(And he said to them, What do ye desire, or want, that I do for you?)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{37}And they said, Grant to us, that we sit the one at thy right half, and the other at thy left half, in thy glory.
{\SLS{(And they said, Grant unto us, that we sit the one at thy right hand, or on thy right side, and the other at thy left hand, or on thy left side, in thy glory.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{38}And Jesus said to them, Ye know not what ye ask; may ye drink the cup, which I shall drink,
{\SLS{(or can ye drink the cup, which I shall drink)}}, or be washed with the baptism, in which I am baptized?


\par }{\PP \VS{39}And they said to him, We may
{\SLS{(or We can)}}. And Jesus said to them,
{\ADD{[Truly]}} Ye shall drink the cup that I drink, and ye shall be washed with the baptism, in which I am baptized;


\par }{\PP \VS{40}but to sit at my right half or left half is not mine to give to you
{\SLS{(or but to sit at my right hand or my left hand is not mine to give to you)}},
{\SLS{(no)}} but to whom it is made ready.


\par }{\PP \VS{41}And the ten heard, and began to have indignation of James and John.
{\SLS{(And the other ten heard, and began to feel indignant with James and John.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{42}But Jesus called them, and said to them, Ye know, that they that seem

{\SLS{(the)}} lords of them, and the princes of them have power of them.
{\SLS{(And Jesus called them, and said to them, Ye know, that they who be seen to have lordship over the nations and the peoples, be their lords, and so their leaders have power over them.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{43}But it is not so among you, but whoever will be made
{\ADD{[the]}} greater, shall be your minister
{\SLS{(or shall be your servant)}};


\par }{\PP \VS{44}and whoever will be the first among you, shall be
{\SLS{(the)}} servant of all.


\par }{\PP \VS{45}For why man’s Son came not, that it should be ministered to him, but that he should minister, and give his life again-buying
{\ADD{[or as a redemption]}} for many.
{\SLS{(For man’s Son came not, so that he would be served, but that he would serve, and give his life as a redemption for many.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{46}And they came to Jericho; and when he went forth from Jericho, and his disciples, and a full much people
{\SLS{(or a great many people)}}, Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus, sat beside the way, and begged.


\par }{\PP \VS{47}And when he heard, that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry, and say, Jesus, the son of David, have mercy on me.


\par }{\PP \VS{48}And many threatened him, that he should be still; and he cried much the more
{\ADD{[or and he cried much more, saying]}}, Jesus, the son of David, have mercy on me.


\par }{\PP \VS{49}And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be called; and they called the blind man, and said to him, Be thou of better heart, rise up, he calleth thee.


\par }{\PP \VS{50}And he cast away his cloth
{\SLS{(or And he threw away his cloak)}}, and skipped, and came to him.


\par }{\PP \VS{51}And Jesus answered, and said to him, What wilt thou, that I shall do to thee? The blind man said to him, Master, that I see.
{\SLS{(And Jesus said to him, What desirest thou, that I shall do for thee? The blind man said to him, Teacher, that I see.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{52}Jesus said to him, Go thou, thy faith hath made thee safe. And anon he saw, and
{\SLS{(pur)}}sued him in the way.
{\SLS{(Jesus said to him, Go, thy faith hath saved thee, or thy faith hath healed thee. And at once he saw, and followed him on the way.)}}




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 11}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And when Jesus came nigh to Jerusalem and to Bethany, to the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,

{\SLS{(it)}}, and bring him

\par }{\PP \VS{4}And they went forth, and found a colt tied before the gate withoutforth, in the meeting of two ways; and they untied him.

\par }{\PP \VS{6}And they said to them, as Jesus commanded them; and they left it to them

\par }{\PP \VS{9}And they that went before, and that
{\SLS{(pur)}}sued

\par }{\PP \VS{11}And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had seen all things about, when it was even{\SLS{(ing)}}, he went out into Bethany, with the twelve.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}And another day
{\SLS{(or And the next day)}}, when he went out of Bethany

\par }{\PP \VS{13}And when he had seen a fig tree
{\SLS{(from)}} afar having leaves, he came, if happily he should find anything thereon; and when he came to it, he found nothing, except leaves; for it was not

\par }{\PP \VS{14}And Jesus answered and said to it, Now never eat any man fruit of thee
{\SLS{(any)}} more
{\ADD{[or Now no more without end any man eat fruit of thee]}}. And his disciples heard
{\SLS{(him)}};


\par }{\PP \VS{15}and they came to Jerusalem. And when he was entered into the temple, he began to cast out sellers and buyers in the temple; and he turned upside-down the boards of
{\SLS{(the money-)}}changers, and the chairs of men that sold culvers;
{\SLS{(and they came to Jerusalem. And after he went into the Temple, he began to throw out the sellers and the buyers in the Temple; and he turned upside-down the tables of the money-changers, and the chairs of those who sold doves and pigeons;)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{16}and he suffered not, that any man should bear a vessel through the temple.
{\SLS{(and he would not allow anyone to carry a vessel through the Temple.)}}

{\SLS{(And he taught them, and said, Is it not written, My House shall be called the House of Prayer for all the nations and all the peoples? but ye have made it a den of thieves.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{18}And when this thing was heard, the princes of priests, and

{\SLS{(And when this was heard, the high priests, and the scribes sought how they could destroy him; for they feared him, for all the people wondered about his teaching.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{19}And when evening was come, he went out of the city.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}And as they passed forth early
{\SLS{(the next day)}}, they saw the fig tree made dry from the roots.


\par }{\PP \VS{21}And Peter bethought
{\SLS{(to)}} him{\SLS{(self)}}, and said to him,
{\ADD{[or And Peter having mind,
{\SLS{(or remembering)}}, said to him]}}, Master,
{\SLS{(or Teacher)}}, lo! the fig tree, whom thou cursedest, is dried up.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}And Jesus answered and said to them, Have ye the faith of God;

{\SLS{(And they came again to Jerusalem. And when he walked in the Temple, the high priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{28}and said to him, In what power doest thou these things? or who gave to thee this power, that thou do these things?


\par }{\PP \VS{29}Jesus answered and said to them, And I shall ask you one word

{\SLS{(or A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and dug a hole for a winepress, and built a look-out tower, and hired it out to farmers, and went forth on a journey)}}.

\par }{\PP \VS{3}And they took him, and beat him, and left him void

{\ADD{[or and punished him with chidings, or reprovings]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{5}And again he sent another, and they slew him, and others more, beating some, and slaying others
{\ADD{[or soothly they killed others]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}But yet he had a most dearworthy son, and he sent him last to them, and said, Peradventure they shall dread

\par }{\PP \VS{7}But the earth-tillers said together,

\par }{\PP \VS{13}And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and
{\SLS{(some)}} of the Herodians, to take him in word

{\SLS{(or Teacher)}}, we know that thou art soothfast, and reckest not

\par }{\PP \VS{18}And
{\SLS{(some)}} Sadducees, that say that there is no resurrection, came to him, and asked him, and said,

{\SLS{(or Teacher)}}, Moses wrote to us, that if the brother of a man were dead, and left
{\EM{his}} wife, and have no sons, his brother take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}Then seven brethren there were,
{\ADD{[or Therefore seven brethren were]}},

{\SLS{(And Jesus answered, and said to them, And so do ye not err, because ye know not the Scriptures, nor the power of God?)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{25}For when they shall rise again from death, neither they shall wed, nor shall be wedded, but they shall be as

\par }{\PP \VS{28}And one of the scribes, that had heard them disputing together, came nigh, and saw that Jesus had well-answered them, and asked him,
{\ADD{[or and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him]}}, which was the first commandment of all
{\SLS{(or which is the first, or the greatest, commandment of all?)}}.

{\SLS{(or This is the first, or the greatest, commandment of all)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{31}And the second is like to this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.


\par }{\PP \VS{32}And the scribe said to him, Master,
{\SLS{(or Teacher)}}, in truth thou hast well said; for one God is
{\SLS{(or for there is but one God)}}, and there is none other, except him;


\par }{\PP \VS{33}{\ADD{[and]}} that he be loved of all the heart, and of all the mind, and of all the understanding, and of all the soul, and of all the strength, and to love the neighbour as himself, is greater,

{\ADD{[the]}} scribes, that Christ is the son of David?
{\SLS{(And Jesus said, teaching in the Temple, How can the scribes say, that the Messiah is the Son of David?)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{36}For David himself said in the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to my lord, Sit

{\SLS{(For David himself said by the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, or on my right side, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.)}}

{\SLS{(or opposite)}} the treasury, beheld how the people cast money into the treasury; and many rich men casted many things.


\par }{\PP \VS{42}But when a poor widow was come, she cast two minutes
{\SLS{(or she threw in two mites)}}, that is, a farthing.


\par }{\PP \VS{43}And he called together his disciples, and said to them, Truly I say to you
{\SLS{(or I tell you the truth)}}, that this poor widow cast more than all, that cast into the treasury.


\par }{\PP \VS{44}For all they cast of that thing that they had plenty of; but this
{\SLS{(out)}} of her poverty cast all things that she had, all her livelode,
