1 And it fortuned vpon an after pryncipall Sabbath, that he wente thorow the corne felde, & his disciples plucked the eares of corne, and ate, and rubbed the with their hades.

2 But certayne of the Pharises sayde vnto them: Wherfore do ye that, which is not laufull to do vpon the Sabbath?

3 And Iesus answered, and sayde vnto the: Haue ye not red what Dauid dyd, wha he was hongrie, and they that were with him,

4 how he wente in to the house of God, and toke the shewbred, and ate, and gaue also vnto them that were with him, which was laufull for no man to eate, but for the prestes onely?

5 And he sayde vnto them: The sonne of man is LORDE euen ouer the Sabbath.

6 It came to passe vpo another Sabbath, that he wete in to the synagoge, and taught and there was a man, whose right hande was wythred.

7 But ye scrybes and Pharises marked him, whether he wolde heale vpon the Sabbath, that they might fynde an occasion agaynst him.

8 Neuertheles he perceaued their thoughtes, and sayde vnto the ma with the wythred hande: Aryse, and steppe forth here. And he arose, and stepped forth.

9 Then sayde Iesus vnto the: I wil axe you a question: What is it laufull to do vpo the Sabbath? good, or euell? to saue life, or to destroye it?

10 And he behelde the all rounde aboute, and sayde vnto the ma: Stretch out thine hande. And he dyd so. Then was his hande restored him to right, euen as whole as the other.

11 But they were fylled full of madnes, and commoned together, what they wolde do to him.

12 And it fortuned at the same tyme, that he wente out in to a mountayne to praye, and continued all night in prayer to God.

13 And wha it was daye, he called his disciples, and chose twolue of them, whom he called also apostles.

14 Symon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, Iames and Ihon, Phylippe and Bartylmew,

15 Mathew and Thomas, Iames the sonne of Alpheus, Symon called Zelotes,

16 Iudas the sonne of Iames, and Iudas Iscarioth, which was the traytoure.

17 And he wente downe with them, and stode vpon a playne in the felde, and the company of his disciples, and a greate multitude of people, from all Iewry, and Ierusale, and from Tyre and Sydon by the see coast, which were come to heare him, and to be healed of their diseases,

18 and they that were vexed with foule spretes, were healed.

19 And all the people sought to touch him, for there wente vertue fro him, and healed the all.

20 And he lift vp his eyes vpo his disciples, and sayde: Blessed are ye poore, for yours is the kyngdome of God.

21 Blessed are ye that honger here, for ye shalbe satisfied. Blessed are ye yt wepe here, for ye shal laugh.
