Luke 8:9-32

⁹And his disciples axed him sayinge: what maner similitude is this?

¹⁰And he sayde: vnto you is it geven to knowe the secretes of the kyngdom of God: but to other in similitudes that when they se they shuld not se: and when they heare they shuld not vnderstonde.

¹¹The similitude is this. The seede is the worde of God.

¹²Thoose that are besyde the waye are they that heare and afterwarde cometh the devyll and taketh awaye the worde out of their hertes lest they shuld beleve and be saved.

¹³They on the stonnes are they which when they heare receave the worde with ioye. But these have noo rootes which for a whyle beleve and in tyme of temptacion goo awaye.

¹⁴And that which fell amonge thornes are they which heare and goo forth and are choked with cares and with riches and volupteous lyvinge and bringe forth noo frute.

¹⁵That in the good grounde are they which with a good and pure hert heare the worde and kepe it and bringe forth frute with pacience.

¹⁶No man lyghteth a candell and covereth it vnder a vessell nether putteth it vnder the table: but setteth it on a candelsticke that they that enter in maye se the lyght.

¹⁷No thinge is in secret that shall not come abroode: Nether eny thinge hyd that shall not be knowen and come to lyght.

¹⁸Take hede therfore how ye heare. For whosoever hath to him shalbe geve: And whosoever hath not from him shalbe take even that same which he supposeth that he hath.

¹⁹Then came to him his mother and his brethren and coulde not come at him for prease.

²⁰And they tolde him sayinge: Thy mother and thy brethren stonde with out and wolde se the.

²¹He answered and sayd vnto them: my mother and my brethren are these which heare the worde of God and do it.

²²And it chaunsed on a certayne daye that he went into a shippe and his disciples also and he sayde vnto them: Let vs goo over vnto the other syde of the lake. And they Lanched forthe.

²³And as they sayled he fell a slepe and there arose a storme of wynde in the lake and they were fylled with water and were in ieopardy.

²⁴And they went to him and awoke him sayinge: Master Master we are loost. Then he arose and rebuked the wynde and the tempest of water and they ceased and it wexed calme.

²⁵And he sayd vnto them: where is youre faith? They feared and wondred sayinge one to another: what felowe is this? for he commaundeth bothe the wyndes and water and they obey him?

²⁶And they sayled vnto the region of the Gaderenites which is over agaynst Galile.

²⁷And as he went out to londe ther met him a certayne man out of the cite which had a devyll longe tyme and ware noo clothes nether aboode in eny housse: but amonge graves.

²⁸When he sawe Iesus he cryed and fell doune before him and with a loude voyce sayde: What have I to do with the Iesus the sonne of the God moost hyest? I beseche the torment me not.

²⁹Then he commaunded the foule sprete to come out of the man. For ofte tymes he caught him and he was bounde with chaynes and kept with fetters: and he brake the bondes and was caryed of the fende into wyldernes.

³⁰And Iesus axed him sayinge: what is thy name? And he sayde: Legion because many devyls were entred into him.

³¹And they besought him that he wolde not commaunde the to goo out into the depe.

³²And ther was there by an heerde of many swyne fedynge on an hyll: and they besought him that he wolde soffre the to enter into them. And he soffred them.
