Luke 19:18-40

¹⁸And the tother cam, and seide, Lord, thi besaunt hath maad fyue besauntis.

¹⁹And to this he seide, And be thou on fyue citees.

²⁰And the thridde cam, and seide, Lord, lo! thi besaunt, that Y hadde, put vp in a sudarie.

²¹For Y dredde thee, for thou art `a sterne man; thou takist awey that that thou settidist not, and thou repist that that thou hast not sowun.

²²He seith to hym, Wickid seruaunt, of thi mouth Y deme thee. Wistist thou, that Y am `a sterne man, takynge awei that thing that Y settide not, and repyng ethat thing that Y sewe not?

²³and whi hast thou not youun my money to the bord, and Y comynge schulde haue axid it with vsuris?

²⁴And he seide to men stondynge nyy, Take ye awei fro hym the besaunt, and yyue ye to hym that hath ten beyauntis:

²⁵And thei seiden to hym, Lord, he hath ten besauntis.

²⁶And Y seie to you, to ech man that hath, it schal be youun, and he schal encreese; but fro him that hath not, also that thing that he hath, schal be takun of hym.

²⁷Netheles brynge ye hidur tho myn enemyes, that wolden not that Y regnede on hem, and sle ye bifor me.

²⁸And whanne these thingis weren seid, he wente bifore, and yede vp to Jerusalem.

²⁹And it was don, whanne Jhesus cam nyy to Bethfage and Betanye, at the mount, that is clepid of Olyuete, he sente hise twei disciplis, and seide,

³⁰Go ye in to the castel, that is ayens you; in to which as ye entren, ye schulen fynde a colt of an asse tied, on which neuer man sat; vntye ye hym, and brynge ye to me.

³¹And if ony man axe you, whi ye vntien, thus ye schulen seie to hym, For the Lord desirith his werk.

³²And thei that weren sent, wenten forth, and fonden as he seide to hem, a colt stondynge.

³³And whanne thei vntieden the colt, the lordis of hym seiden to hem, What vntien ye the colt?

³⁴And thei seiden, For the Lord hath nede to hym.

³⁵And thei ledden hym to Jhesu; and thei castynge her clothis on the colt, setten Jhesu on hym.

³⁶And whanne he wente, thei strowiden her clothis in the weie.

³⁷And whanne he cam nyy to the comyng doun of the mount of Olyuete, al the puple that cam doun bygunnen to ioye, and to herie God with greet vois on alle the vertues, that thei hadden sayn,

³⁸and seiden, Blessid be the king, that cometh in the name of the Lord; pees in heuene, and glorie in hiye thingis.

³⁹And sum of the Farisees of the puple seiden to hym, Maister, blame thi disciplis.

⁴⁰And he seide to hem, Y seie to you, for if these ben stille, stoonus schulen crye.
