Matthew 24:32-51 ▼

32 Learne, a similitude of the fygge tree: when his braunches are yet tender and his leves sproge ye knowe that sommer is nye.

33 So lyke wyse ye when ye see all these thynges be ye sure that it is neare even at the dores.

34 Verely I saye vnto you that this generacion shall not passe tyll all these be fulfilled.

35 Heven and erth shall perisshe: but my wordes shall abyde.

36 But of that daye and houre knowith no man no not ye angels of heve but my father only.

37 As the tyme of Noe was so lyke wyse shall the cominge of ye sonne of man be.

38 For as in ye dayes before ye floud: they dyd eate and drynke mary and were maried eve vnto ye daye that Noe entred into the shyppe

39 and knewe of nothynge tyll the floude came and toke them all awaye. So shall also the commynge of the sonne of man be.

40 Then two shalbe in the feldes the one shalbe receaved and the other shalbe refused

41 two shalbe gryndinge at ye myll: ye oue shalbe receaved and ye other shalbe refused.

42 Wake therfore because ye knowe not what houre youre master wyll come.

43 Of this be sure that yf the good man of the housse knewe what houre the thefe wolde come: he wolde suerly watche and not suffre his housse to be broke vppe.

44 Therfore be ye also redy for in ye houre ye thinke he wolde not: wyll the sonne of ma come.

45 If there be any faithfull servaut and wyse whome his master hath made ruler over his housholde to geve the meate in season covenient:

46 happy is that servaunt whom his master (when he cometh) shall finde so doinge.

47 Verely I saye vnto you he shall make him ruler over all his goodes.

48 But and yf that evill servaut shall saye in his herte my master wyll defer his comynge

49 and beginne to smyte his felowes ye and to eate and to drinke with the dronke:

50 that servauntes master wyll come in adaye when he loketh not for him and in an houre yt he is not ware of

51 and wyll devyde him and geve him his rewarde with ypocrites. There shalbe wepinge and gnasshinge of tethe.
