Luke 11:10-40

¹⁰For every one that axeth receaveth: and he that seketh fyndeth: and to him that knocketh shall it be openned.

¹¹Yf the sonne shall axe breed of eny of you that is a father: wyll he geve him a stone? Or yf he axe fisshe wyll he for a fysshe geve him a serpent?

¹²Or yf he axe an egge: wyll he offer him a scorpion?

¹³Yf ye then which are evyll canne geve good giftes vnto youre chyldren how moche more shall the father of heaven geve an holy sprete to them that desyre it of him?

¹⁴And he was a castynge out a devyll which was dome. And it folowed when the devyll was gone out the domme spake and the people wondred.

¹⁵But some of the sayde: he casteth out devyls by the power of Belzebub the chefe of the devyls.

¹⁶And other tempted him sekinge of him a signe from heaven.

¹⁷But he knewe their thoughtes and sayde vnto them: Every kingdome devided with in it silfe shalbe desolate: and one housse shall fall vpon another.

¹⁸So if Satan be devided with in him silfe: how shall his kyngdome endure? Because ye saye that I cast out devyls by the power of Belzebub.

¹⁹Yf I by the power of Belzebub caste oute devyls: by whome do youre chyldren cast them out? Therfore shall they be youre iudges.

²⁰But if I with the finger of God cast out devyls noo doute the kyngdome of God is come vpon you.

²¹When a stronge man armed watcheth his housse: that he possesseth is in peace.

²²But when a stronger then he cometh vpo him and overcometh him: he taketh from him his harnes wherin he trusted and devideth his gooddes.

²³He that is not with me is agaynst me. And he that gadereth not with me scattereth.

²⁴When the vnclene sprete is gone out of a man he walketh through waterlesse places sekinge reest. And when he fyndeth none he sayeth: I will returne agayne vnto my housse whence I came out.

²⁵And when he cometh he fyndeth it swept and garnissed.

²⁶Then goeth he and taketh to him seve other spretes worsse then himsilfe: and they enter in and dwell there. And the ende of that man is worsse then the begynninge.

²⁷And it fortuned as he spake those thinges a certayne woman of the company lyfte vp her voyce and sayde vnto him: Happy is the wombe that bare the and the pappes which gave the sucke.

²⁸But he sayde: Ye happy are they that heare the worde of God and kepe it.

²⁹When the people were gadered thicke to geder: he began to saye. This is an evyll nacion: they seke a signe and ther shall no signe be geven them but the signe of Ionas the Prophet.

³⁰For as Ionas was a signe to the Ninivites so shall the sonne of man be to this nacion.

³¹The quene of the southe shall ryse at iudgement with the men of this generacion and condempne them: for she came from the ende of the worlde to heare the wysdome of Salomon. And beholde a greater then Salomon is here.

³²The men of Ninive shall ryse at the iudgement with this generacion and shall condempne them: for they repented at the preachinge of Ionas. And beholde a greater then Ionas is here.

³³Noo man lighteth a candell, and putteth it in a previe place nether vnder a busshell: But on a candelsticke that they that come in maye se the light.

³⁴The light of thy body is the eye. Therfore when thine eye is single: then is all thy body full of light. But if thine eye be evyll: then shall thy body also be full of darknes.

³⁵Take hede therfore that the light which is in the be not darknes.

³⁶For if all thy body shalbe light havynge noo parte darke: then shall all be full of light even as when a candell doeth light the with his brightnes.

³⁷And as he spake a certayne Pharise besought him to dyne with him: and he went in and sate doune to meate.

³⁸When the Pharise sawe that he marveylled that he had not fyrst wesshed before dyner.

³⁹And the Lorde sayde to him: Now do the Pharises make clene the out side of the cup and of the platter: but youre inwarde parties are full of raveninge and wickednes.

⁴⁰Ye foles dyd not he that made that which is without: make that which is within also?
