Luke 9:14-45

¹⁴And they were about a fyve thousand men. And he sayde to his disciples: Cause them to syt doune by fyfties in a company.

¹⁵And they dyd soo and made them all syt doune.

¹⁶And he toke the fyve loves and the two fisshes and loked vp to heven and blessed them and brake and gave to the disciples to set before the people.

¹⁷And they ate and were all satisfied. And ther was taken vp of that remayned to the twelve baskettes full of broken meate.

¹⁸And it fortuned as he was alone prayinge his disciples were with him and he axed the sayinge: Who saye ye people that I am?

¹⁹They answered and sayd: Iohn Baptist. Some saye Helyas. And some saye one of the olde prophetes is rysen agayne.

²⁰He sayde vnto the: Who saye ye that I am? Peter answered and sayde: thou arte the Christ of god.

²¹And he warned and commaunded them that they shuld tell no man that thinge

²²sayinge: that the sonne of man must suffre many thinges and be reproved of the elders and of the hye prestes and scribes and be slayne and the thirde daye ryse agayne.

²³And he sayde to them all yf eny man will come after me let him denye him sylfe and take vp his crosse dayly and folowe me.

²⁴Whosoever will save his lyfe shall lose it. And who soever shall lose his lyfe for my sake the same shall save it.

²⁵For what avauntageth it a man to wynne the whole worlde yf he loose him sylfe or runne in domage of him sylfe?

²⁶For whosoever is ashamed of me and of my sayinges: of him shall the sonne of man be ashamed when he cometh in his awne glorie and in the glorie of his father and of the holy angels.

²⁷And I tell you of a surety: There be some of the that stonde here which shall not tast of deeth tyll they se the kyngdome of god.

²⁸And it folowed about an .viii. dayes after thoose sayinges that he toke Peter Iames and Iohn and went vp into a moutayne to praye.

²⁹And as he prayed the facion of his countenaunce was changed and his garment was whyte and shoone.

³⁰And beholde two men talked with him and they were Moses and Helyas

³¹which appered gloriously and spake of his departinge which he shuld ende at Ierusalem.

³²Peter and they that were with him were hevy with slepe. And when they woke they sawe his glorie and two men stondinge with him.

³³And it chaunsed as they departed from him Peter sayde vnto Iesus: Master it is good beinge here for vs. Let vs make thre tabernacles one for the and one for Moses and one for Helyas: and wist not what he sayde.

³⁴Whyll he thus spake ther came a cloude and shadowed them: and they feared when they were come vnder the cloude.

³⁵And ther came a voyce out of the cloude sayinge: This is my deare sonne heare him.

³⁶And assone as the voyce was past Iesus was founde alone. And they kept it cloose and tolde noo man in thoose dayes eny of those thinges which they had sene.

³⁷And it chaunsed on the nexte daye as they came doune from the hyll moche people met him.

³⁸And beholde a man of the company cryed out sayinge: Master I beseche the beholde my sonne for he is all that I have:

³⁹and se a sprete taketh him and sodenly he cryeth and he teareth him that he fometh agayne and with moche payne departeth from him when he hath rent him

⁴⁰and I besought thy disciples to cast him out and they coulde not.

⁴¹Iesus answered and sayde: O generacion with oute fayth and croked: how longe shall I be with you? and shall suffre you? Bringe thy sonne hidder.

⁴²As he yet was a cominge the fende ret him and tare him. And Iesus rebuked the vnclene sprete and healed the childe and delivered him to his father. And they were all amased at the mighty power of God.

⁴³Whyll they wondred every one at all thinges which he dyd he sayd vnto his disciples:

⁴⁴Let these sayinges synke doune into youre eares. The tyme will come when the sonne of man shalbe delivered into the hondes of men.

⁴⁵But they wist not what that worde meant and that was hyd from the that they vnderstode that not. And they feared to axe him of that sayinge.
