Mark 9:7-38

⁷And anoon thei bihelden aboute, and sayn no more ony man, but Jhesu oonli with hem.

⁸And whanne thei camen doun fro the hille, he comaundide hem, that thei schulden not telle to ony man tho thingis that thei hadden seen, but whanne mannus sone hath risun ayen fro deeth.

⁹And thei helden the word at hem silf, sekynge what this schulde be, whanne he hadde risun ayen fro deth.

¹⁰And thei axiden hym, and seiden, What thanne seien Farisees and scribis, for it bihoueth `Helie to come first.

¹¹And he answeride, and seide to hem, Whanne Helie cometh, he schal first restore alle thingis; and as it is writun of mannus sone, that he suffre many thingis, and be dispisid.

¹²And Y seie to you, that Helie is comun, and thei diden to hym what euer thingis thei wolden, as it is writun of hym.

¹³And he comynge to hise disciplis, saiy a greet cumpany aboute hem, and scribis disputynge with hem.

¹⁴And anoon al the puple seynge Jhesu, was astonyed, and thei dredden; and thei rennynge gretten hym.

¹⁵And he axide hem, What disputen ye among you?

¹⁶And oon of the cumpany answerde, and seide, Mayster, Y haue brouyt to thee my sone, that hath a doumbe spirit; and where euer he takith hym,

¹⁷he hurtlith hym doun, and he fometh, and betith togidir with teeth, and wexith drye. And Y seide to thi disciplis, that thei schulden caste hym out, and thei myyten not.

¹⁸And he answeride to hem, and seide, A! thou generacioun out of bileue, hou longe schal Y be among you, hou longe schal Y suffre you? Brynge ye hym to me.

¹⁹And thei brouyten hym. And whanne he had seyn him, anoon the spirit troublide him; and was throw doun to grounde, and walewide, and fomede.

²⁰And he axide his fadir, Hou longe `is it, sith this `hath falle to hym? And he seide, Fro childhode;

²¹and ofte he hath put hym in to fier, and in to watir, to leese hym; but if thou maiste ony thing, helpe vs, and haue merci on vs.

²²And Jhesus seide to hym, If thou maiste bileue, alle thingis ben possible to man that bileueth.

²³And anoon the fadir of the child criede with teeris, and seide, Lord, Y bileue; Lord, helpe thou myn vnbileue.

²⁴And whanne Jhesus hadde seyn the puple rennynge togidere, he manasside the vnclene spirit, and seide to hym, Thou deef and doumbe spirit, Y comaunde thee, go out fro hym, and entre no more in to hym.

²⁵And he criynge, and myche to breidynge him, wente out fro hym; and he was maad as deed, so that many seiden, that he was deed.

²⁶And Jhesus helde his hoond, and lifte hym vp; and he roos.

²⁷And whanne he hadde entrid in to an hous, hise disciplis axiden hym priueli, Whi myyten not we caste hym out?

²⁸And he seide to hem, This kynde in no thing may go out, but in preier and fastyng.

²⁹And thei yeden fro thennus, and wente forth in to Galile; and thei wolden not, that ony man wiste.

³⁰And he tauyte hise disciplis, and seide to hem, For mannus sone schal be bitrayed in to the hondis of men, and thei schulen sle hym, and he slayn schal ryse ayen on the thridde day.

³¹And thei knewen not the word, and dredden to axe hym.

³²And thei camen to Cafarnaum. And whanne thei weren in the hous, he axide hem, What tretiden ye in the weie?

³³And thei weren stille; for thei disputiden among hem in the weie, who of hem schulde be grettest.

³⁴And he sat, and clepide the twelue, and seide to hem, If ony man wole be the firste among you, he schal be the laste of alle, and the mynyster of alle.

³⁵And he took a child, and sette hym in the myddil of hem; and whanne he hadde biclippid hym, he seide to hem,

³⁶Who euer resseyueth oon of such children in my name, he resseyueth me; and who euer resseyueth me, he resseyueth not me aloone, but hym that sente me.

³⁷Joon answeride to hym, and seide, Maister, we sayn oon castynge out feendis in thi name, which sueth not vs, and we han forbodun hym.

³⁸And Jhesus seide, Nyle ye forbede him; for ther is no man that doith vertu in my name, and may soone speke yuel of me.
