Teachings about Divorce
(Mark 10:1–12)

1And it came to passe when Iesus had fynisshed those sayinges he gat him from Galile and came into the coostes of Iewry beyonde Iordan 2and moche people folowed him and he healed them theare.

3Then came vnto him the pharises temtinge him and sayinge to him: Ys it lawfull for a man to put awaye his wyfe for all maner of causes? 4He answered and sayd vnto them: Have ye not redde how that he which made man at the beginninge made them man and woman 5and sayde: for this thinge shall a ma leve father and mother and cleve vnto his wyfe and they twayne shalbe one flesshe. 6Wherfore now are they not twayne but one flesshe. Let not man therfore put a sunder that which God hath cuppled to gedder. 7The sayde they to him: why did Moses comaunde to geve a testimoniall of divorsemet and to put hyr awaye? 8He sayde vnto them: Moses because of the hardnes of youre hertes suffred you to put awaye youre wyfes: But from ye beginnynge it was not so. 9I saye therfore vnto you whosoever putteth awaye his wyfe (except it be for fornicacion) and maryeth another breaketh wedlocke. And whosoever maryeth her which is divorsed doeth commyt advoutry.

10Then sayde his disciples to him: yf the mater be so betwene man and wyfe then is it not good to mary. 11He sayde vnto them: all me can not awaye with that sayinge save they to whom it is geve. 12Ther are chaste which were so borne out of their mothers belly. And ther are chaste which be made of men. And ther be chaste which have made them selves chaste for the kyngdome of heves sake. He that can take it let him take it.

Jesus Blesses the Children
(Mark 10:13–16; Luke 18:15–17)

13Then were brought to him yonge chyldre that he shuld put his hondes on them and praye And the disciples rebuked them. 14But Iesus sayde: suffre the chyldren and forbid them not to come to me: for of suche is the kyngdome of heven. 15And when he had put his hondes on them he departed thence.

The Rich Young Man
(Mark 10:17–31; Luke 18:18–30)

16And beholde one came and sayde vnto him: good master what good thinge shall I do that I maye have eternall lyfe? 17He sayde vnto him: why callest thou me good? there is none good but one and that is God. But yf thou wylt entre in to lyfe kepe the commaundementes. 18The other sayde to him Which? And Iesus sayde: breake no wedloke kill not steale not: beare not falce witnes: 19honoure father and mother: and love thyne neighbour as thy sylfe. 20And the younge man sayde vnto him: I have observed all these thingis from my youth what lacke I yet? 21And Iesus sayde vnto him yf thou wylt be perfecte goo and sell that thou hast and geve it to the povre and thou shalt have treasure in heven and come and folowe me. 22When ye younge ma hearde yt sayinge he wet awaye mourninge. For he had greate possessions.

23Then Iesus sayde vnto his disciples: Verely I saye vnto you: yt is harde for a ryche ma to enter into ye kyngdome of heaven. 24And moreover I saye vnto you: it is easier for a camell to go through the eye of a nedle then for a ryche man to enter into the kyngdome of God. 25When his disciples hearde that they were excedingly amased sayinge: who then can be saved? 26Iesus behelde the and sayde vnto them: with men this is vnpossible but with God all thinges are possible.

27Then answered Peter and sayde to him: Beholde we have forsaken all and folowed the what shall we have? 28Iesus sayde vnto them: verely I saye to you: when the sonne of man shall syt in ye seate of his maieste ye which folowe me in ye seconde generacion shall syt also vpon .xii. seates and iudge ye .xii. tribes of Israel. 29And whosoever forsaketh housses or brethren or systers other father or mother or wyfe or chyldren or landes for my names sake ye same shall receave an hundred folde and shall inheret everlastynge lyfe. 30Many that are fyrste shalbe laste and the laste shalbe fyrste.
