Luke 18:14-42

¹⁴Treuli Y seie to you, this yede doun in to his hous, and was iustified fro the other. For ech that enhaunsith hym, schal be maad low, and he that mekith hym, schal be enhaunsid.

¹⁵And thei brouyten to hym yonge children, that he schulde touche hem; and whanne the disciplis saien this thing, thei blameden hem.

¹⁶But Jhesus clepide togider hem, and seide, Suffre ye children to come to me, and nyle ye forbede hem, for of siche is the kyngdom of heuenes.

¹⁷Treuli Y seie to you, who euer schal not take the kyngdom of God as a child, he schal not entre in to it.

¹⁸And a prince axide hym, and seide, Goode maister, in what thing doynge schal Y weilde euerlastynge lijf?

¹⁹And Jhesus seide to hym, What seist thou me good? No man is good, but God aloone.

²⁰Thou knowist the comaundementis, Thou schalt not sle, Thou schalt not do letcherie, Thou schalt not do theft, Thou schalt not seie fals witnessyng, Worschipe thi fadir and thi modir.

²¹Which seide, Y haue kept alle these thingis fro my yongthe.

²²And whanne this thing was herd, Jhesus seide to hym, Yit o thing failith `to thee; sille thou alle thingis that thou hast, and yyue to pore men, and thou schalt haue tresour in heuene; and come, and sue thou me.

²³Whanne these thingis weren herd, he was soreful, for he was ful ryche.

²⁴And Jhesus seynge hym maad sorie, seide, How hard thei that han money schulen entre in to the kyngdom of God;

²⁵for it is liyter a camel to passe thorou a nedlis iye, than a riche man to entre in to the kyngdom of God.

²⁶And thei that herden these thingis seiden, Who may be maad saaf?

²⁷And he seide to hem, Tho thingis that ben impossible anentis men, ben possible anentis God.

²⁸But Petir seide, Lo! we han left alle thingis, and han sued thee.

²⁹And he seide to hym, Treuli Y seie to you, there is no man that schal forsake hous, or fadir, modir, or britheren, or wijf, or children, or feeldis, for the rewme of God,

³⁰and schal not resseyue many mo thingis in this tyme, and in the world to comynge euerlastynge lijf.

³¹And Jhesus took hise twelue disciplis, and seide to hem, Lo! we gon vp to Jerusalem, and alle thingis schulen be endid, that ben writun bi the prophetis of mannus sone.

³²For he schal be bitraied to hethen men, and he schal be scorned, and scourgid, and bispat;

³³and aftir that thei han scourgid, thei schulen sle hym, and the thridde dai he schal rise ayen.

³⁴And thei vndurstoden no thing of these; and this word was hid fro hem, and thei vndurstoden not tho thingis that weren seid.

³⁵But it was don, whanne Jhesus cam nyy to Jerico, a blynde man sat bisidis the weie, and beggide.

³⁶And whanne he herde the puple passynge, he axide, what this was.

³⁷And thei seiden to hym, that Jhesus of Nazareth passide.

³⁸And he criede, and seide, Jhesu, the sone of Dauyd, haue mercy on me.

³⁹And thei that wenten bifor blamyden hym, that he schulde be stille; but he criede myche the more, Thou sone of Dauid, haue mercy on me.

⁴⁰And Jhesus stood, and comaundide hym to be brouyt forth to hym. And whanne he cam nyy, he axide hym,

⁴¹and seide, What wolt thou that Y schal do to thee? And he seide, Lord, that Y se.

⁴²And Jhesus seide to hym, Biholde; thi feith hath maad thee saaf.
