⁵For he loveth oure nacion and hath bilt vs a sinagoge

⁶And Iesus went with them. And when he was not farre from the housse the Centurion sent frendes to him sayinge vnto him: Lorde trouble not thy silfe: for I am not worthy that thou shuldest enter vnder my roffe.

⁷Wherfore I thought not my silfe worthy to come vnto the: but saye the worde and my servaunt shalbe whoole.

⁸For I lyke wyse am a man vnder power and have vnder me soudiers and I saye vnto won goo: and he goeth. And to another come: and he cometh. And to my servaunt do this: and he doeth it.

⁹When Iesus herde this he merveyled at him and turned him about and sayd to the people that folowed him: I saye vnto you I have not founde so greate faith noo not in Israel.

¹⁰And they that were sent turned backe home agayne and founde the servaunt that was sicke whoole.

¹¹And it fortuned after that that he went into a cite called Naim and many of his disciples went with him and moche people.

¹²When he came nye to the gate of the cite: beholde ther was a deed man caried out which was the only sonne of his mother and she was a widowe and moche people of the cite was with her.

¹³And when the lorde sawe her he had compassion on her and sayde vnto her: wepe not.

¹⁴And he went and touched the coffyn and they that bare him stode still. And he sayde: Yonge man I saye vnto the aryse.

¹⁵And the deed sate vp and beganne to speake. And he delyvered him to his mother.

¹⁶And ther came a feare on the all. And they glorified god sayinge: a greate prophet is rysen amonge vs and god hath visited his people

¹⁷And this rumor of him wet forthe throughout all Iurie and thorowout all the regions which lye rounde about.

¹⁸And the disciples of Iohn shewed him of all these thinges.

¹⁹And Iohn called vnto him .ii. of his disciples and sent the to Iesus sayinge: Arte thou he that shall come: or shall we loke for another?

²⁰When the men were come vnto him they sayde: Iohn baptiste sent vs vnto ye sayinge: Arte thou he that shall come: or shall we wayte for another?

²¹And at the same tyme he cured many of their infirmites and plages and of evyll spretes and vnto many that were blynde he gave sight.

²²And Iesus answered and sayd vnto them: Goo youre wayes and shewe Iohn what thinges ye have sene and harde: how that the blynde se the halt goo the lepers are clensed the deafe heare the deed aryse to the poore is the glad tydinges preached

²³and happy is he that is not offended by me.

²⁴When the messengers of Iohn were departed he began to speake vnto the people of Iohn What wet ye oute into the wildernes for to se? went ye to se arede shaken with the wynde?

²⁵But what went ye out for tose? A man clothed in soofte rayment? Beholde they which are gorgeously apparelled and lyve delicatly are in kynges courtes.

²⁶But what went ye forth to se? A prophete? Ye I saye to you and moare then a prophete.

²⁷This is he of who it is wrytten: Beholde I sende my messenger before thy face to prepare thy waye before the.

²⁸For I saye vnto you: a greater prophete then Iohn amonge wemes chyldre is ther none. Neverthelesse one that is lesse in the kyngdo of god is greater the he.

²⁹And all the people that hearde and the publicans iustified God and were baptised with the baptism of Iohn.
