Luke 9:5-25

⁵And whosoever will not receave you when ye go out of that cite shake of the very dust from youre fete for a testimony agaynst them.

⁶And they went out and went thorow the tounes preachinge the gospell and healynge every wheare.

⁷And Herod the tetrarch herde of all that was done of him and douted because that it was sayde of some that Iohn was rysen agayne from deeth:

⁸and of some that Helyas had apered: and of other that one of the olde prophetes was rysen agayne.

⁹And Herod sayde: Iohn have I behedded: who then is this of whom I heare suche thinges? And he desyred to se him.

¹⁰And the Apostles retourned and tolde him what great thinges they had done. And he toke them and went a syde into a solitary place nye to a citie called Bethsaida.

¹¹And the people knewe of it and folowed him. And he receaved them and spake vnto them of the kyngdome of God and healed them that had nede to be healed.

¹²And when the daye beganne to weare awaye then came the twelve and sayde vnto him: sende the people awaye that they maye goo into the tounes and villages roundabout and lodge and get meate for we are here in a place of wyldernes.

¹³But he sayde vnto them: Geve ye them to eate. And they sayde. We have no moo but fyve loves and two fisshes except we shuld goo and bye meate for all this people.

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?
