Luke 13:8-26

⁸And he answerynge seide to hym, Lord, suffre it also this yeer, the while Y delue aboute it, and Y schal donge it;

⁹if it schal make fruyt, if nay, in tyme comynge thou schalt kitte it doun.

¹⁰And he was techinge in her synagoge in the sabatis.

¹¹And lo! a womman, that hadde a spirit of sijknesse eiytene yeeris, and was crokid, and `nethir ony maner myyte loke vpward.

¹²Whom whanne Jhesus hadde seyn, he clepide to hym, and seide to hir, Womman, thou art delyuerid of thi sijknesse.

¹³And he settide on hir his hoondis, and anoon sche stood upriyt, and glorifiede God.

¹⁴And the prince of the synagoge answerde, hauynge dedeyn for Jhesus hadde heelid in the sabat; and he seide to the puple, Ther ben sixe dayes, in whiche it bihoueth to worche; therfor come ye in these, and `be ye heelid, and not in the daie of sabat.

¹⁵But the Lord answeride to hym, and seide, Ypocrite, whether ech of you vntieth not in the sabat his oxe, or asse, fro the cratche, and ledith to watir?

¹⁶Bihofte it not this douytir of Abraham, whom Satanas hath boundun, lo! eiytetene yeeris, to be vnboundun of this boond in the dai of the sabat?

¹⁷And whanne he seide these thingis, alle hise aduersaries weren aschamed, and al the puple ioiede in alle thingis, that weren gloriousli don of hym.

¹⁸Therfor he seide, To what thing is the kyngdom of God lijk? and to what thing schal Y gesse it to be lijk?

¹⁹It is lijk to a corn of seneuey, which a man took, and cast in to his yerd; and it wax, and was maad in to a greet tree, and foulis of the eire restiden in the braunchis therof.

²⁰And eft soone he seide, To what thing schal Y gesse the kyngdom of God lijk?

²¹It is lijk to sourdouy, that a womman took, and hidde it `in to thre mesuris of mele, til al were sourid.

²²And he wente bi citees and castels, techynge and makynge a iourney in to Jerusalem.

²³And a man seide to hym, Lord, if there ben fewe, that ben saued? And he seide to hem,

²⁴Stryue ye to entre bi the streite yate; for Y seie to you, many seken to entre, and thei schulen not mowe.

²⁵For whanne the hosebonde man is entrid, and the dore is closid, ye schulen bigynne to stonde with out forth, and knocke at the dore, and seie, Lord, opyn to vs. And he schal answere, and seie to you, Y knowe you not, of whennus ye ben.

²⁶Thanne ye schulen bigynne to seye, We han etun bifor thee and drunkun, and in oure streetis thou hast tauyt.
