Luke 11:10-27

¹⁰For ech that axith, takith, and he that sekith, fyndith; and to a man that knockith, it schal be openyd.

¹¹Therfor who of you axith his fadir breed, whether he schal yyue hym a stoon? or if he axith fisch, whether he schal yyue hym a serpent for the fisch?

¹²or if he axe an eye, whether he schal a reche hym a scorpioun?

¹³Therfor if ye, whanne ye ben yuel, kunnen yyue good yiftis to youre children, hou myche more youre fadir of heuene schal yyue a good spirit to men that axith him.

¹⁴And Jhesus was castynge out a feend, and he was doumbe. And whanne he hadde cast out the feend, the doumbe man spak; and the puple wondride.

¹⁵And sum of hem seiden, In Belsabub, prince of deuelis, he castith out deuelis.

¹⁶And othir temptinge axiden of hym a tokene fro heuene.

¹⁷And as he saiy the thouytis of hem, he seide to hem, Euery rewme departid ayens it silf, schal be desolat, and an hous schal falle on an hous.

¹⁸And if Sathanas be departid ayens hym silf, hou schal his rewme stonde? For ye seien, that Y caste out feendis in Belsabub.

¹⁹And if Y in Belsabub caste out fendis, in whom casten out youre sones? Therfor thei schulen be youre domesmen.

²⁰But if Y caste out fendis in the fyngir of God, thanne the rewme of God is comun among you.

²¹Whanne a strong armed man kepith his hous, alle thingis that he weldith ben in pees.

²²But if a stronger than he come vpon hym, and ouercome hym, he schal take awei al his armere, in which he tristide, and schal dele abrood his robries.

²³He that is not with me, is ayens me; and he that gederith not togidir with me, scaterith abrood.

²⁴Whanne an vnclene spirit goith out of a man, he wandrith bi drie placis, and sekith reste; and he fyndynge not, seith, Y schal turne ayen in to myn hous, fro whannes Y cam out.

²⁵And whanne he cometh, he fyndith it clansid with besyms, and fayre arayed.

²⁶Thanne he goith, and takith with hym seuene othere spirits worse than hym silf, and thei entren, and dwellen there. And the laste thingis of that man ben maad worse than the formere.

²⁷And it was don, whanne he hadde seid these thingis, a womman of the cumpanye reride hir vois, and seide to hym, Blessid be the wombe that bare thee, and blessid be the tetis that thou hast soken.
