Luke 18:7-23

⁷and whether God schal not do veniaunce of hise chosun, criynge to hym dai and nyyt, and schal haue pacience in hem?

⁸Sotheli Y seie to you, for soone he schal do veniaunce of hem. Netheles gessist thou, that mannus sone comynge schal fynde feith in erthe?

⁹And he seide also to sum men, that tristiden in hem silf, as thei weren riytful, and dispiseden othere, this parable,

¹⁰seiynge, Twei men wenten vp in to the temple to preye; the toon a Farisee, and the tother a pupplican.

¹¹And the Farisee stood, and preiede bi hym silf these thingis, and seide, God, Y do thankyngis to thee, for Y am not as other men, raueinouris, vniust, auoutreris, as also this pupplican;

¹²Y faste twies in the woke, Y yyue tithis of alle thingis that Y haue in possessioun.

¹³And the pupplican stood afer, and wolde nether reise hise iyen to heuene, but smoot his brest, and seide, God be merciful to me, synnere.

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.
