Luke 17:1-17

¹And Jhesu seide to hise disciplis, It is impossible that sclaundris come not; but wo to that man, bi whom thei comen.

²It is more profitable to him, if a mylne stoon be put aboute his necke, and he be cast in to the see, than that he sclaundre oon of these litle.

³Take ye hede you silf; if thi brothir hath synned ayens thee, blame hym; and if he do penaunce, foryyue hym.

⁴And if seuene sithis in the dai he do synne ayens thee, and seuene sithis in the dai he be conuertid to thee, and seie, It forthenkith me, foryyue thou hym.

⁵And the apostlis seiden to the Lord, Encrese to vs feith.

⁶And the Lord seide, If ye han feith as the corn of seneuei, ye schulen seie to this more tre, Be thou drawun vp bi the rote, and be ouerplauntid in to the see, and it schal obeie to you.

⁷But who of you hath a seruaunt erynge, or lesewynge oxis, which seith to hym, whanne he turneth ayen fro the feeld, Anoon go, and sitte to mete;

⁸and seith not to hym, Make redi, that Y soupe, and girde thee, and serue me, while Y ete and drynke, and aftir this thou schalt ete and drynke;

⁹whether he hath grace to that seruaunt, for he dide that that he comaundide hym?

¹⁰Nay, Y gesse. So ye, whanne ye han don alle thingis that ben comaundid to you, seie ye, We ben vnprofitable seruauntis, we han do that that we ouyten to do.

¹¹And it was do, the while Jhesus wente in to Jerusalem, he passide thorou the myddis of Samarie, and Galilee.

¹²And whanne he entride in to a castel, ten leprouse men camen ayens hym, whiche stoden afer,

¹³and reiseden her voys, and seiden, Jhesu, comaundoure, haue merci on vs.

¹⁴And as he say hem, he seide, Go ye, `schewe ye you to the prestis. And it was don, the while thei wenten, thei weren clensid.

¹⁵And oon of hem, as he saiy that he was clensid, wente ayen, magnifiynge God with grete vois.

¹⁶And he fel doun on the face bifore hise feet, and dide thankyngis; and this was a Samaritan.

¹⁷And Jhesus answerde, and seide, Whether ten ben not clensid, and where ben the nyne?
