Luke 12
1 During which time the myriads of the multitude having gathered together so as to trample each other, he began first to say to his disciples, Take heed to yourselves from the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
As ther gadered together an innumerable multitude of people (in so moche that they trood one another) he began to saye vnto his disciples: Fyrst of all beware of the leve of the Pharises which is ypocrisy.
2 But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.
For ther is no thinge covered that shall not be vncovered: nether hyd that shall not be knowen.
3 Therefore, as many things as ye have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers will be proclaimed upon the housetops.
For whatsoever ye have spoken in in darknes: that same shalbe hearde in light. And that which ye have spoken in the the eare eve in secret places shalbe preached even on the toppe of the housses.
4 And I say to you my friends, Be not afraid of those who kill the body, and after these things not having anything more severe to do.
I saye vnto you my fredes: Be not afrayde of them that kyll the body and after that have no moare that they can do.
5 But I will show you whom ye should fear. Fear him, who, after killing, has power to cast into hell. Yes, I say to you, fear ye him. (Geenna g1067)
But I will shewe you whom ye shall feare. Feare him which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell. Ye I saye vnto you him feare. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.
Are not five sparowes bought for two farthinges? And yet not one of them is forgotten of God.
7 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore, ye are superior to many sparrows.
Also even the very heres of youre heedes are nombred. Feare not therfore: ye are moare of value then many sparowes.
8 And I say to you, every man who will confess in me before men, the Son of man will also confess in him before the agents of God,
I saye vnto you: Whosoever confesseth me before men eve him shall ye sonne of man confesse also before ye angels of God.
9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of the agents of God.
And he that denyeth me before men: shalbe denyed before ye angels of God.
10 And every man who will speak a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him, but to him who blasphemed against the Holy Spirit it will not be forgiven.
And whosoever speaketh a worde agaynst ye sonne of ma it shalbe forgeven him. But vnto him yt blasphemeth the holy goost it shall not be forgeven.
11 And when they bring you to the synagogues, and the principle positions, and the offices of authority, be not anxious how or what ye should answer in defense, or what ye should say,
When they bringe you vnto the synagoges and vnto the rulers and officers take no thought how or what thinge ye shall answer or what ye shall speake.
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
For the holy goost shall teache you in the same houre what ye ought to saye.
13 And a certain man out of the crowd said to him, Teacher, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.
One of the company sayde vnto hym: Master byd my brother devide the enheritauce with me.
14 But he said to him, Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbitrator over you?
And he sayde vnto him: Man who made me a iudge or a devider over you?
15 And he said to them, Watch, and keep away from greed, because to any man, life to him is not in the abundance of things possessed by him.
Wherfore he sayde vnto them: take hede and beware of covetousnes. For no mannes lyfe stondeth in the aboundaunce of the thinges which he possesseth.
16 And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth well.
And he put forth a similitude vnto them sayinge: The groude of a certayne riche ma brought forth frutes plenteously
17 And he pondered within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have nowhere I will store my crops?
and he thought in himsilfe sayinge: what shall I do? because I have noo roume where to bestowe my frutes?
18 And he said, I will do this. I will dismantle my barns, and I will build greater, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
And he sayde: This will I do. I will destroye my barnes and bilde greater and therin will I gadder all my frutes and my goodes:
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou have many goods laid up for many years. Take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
and I will saye to my soule: Soule thou hast moch goodes layde vp in stoore for many yeares take thyne ease: eate drinke and be mery.
20 But God said to him, Thou foolish man, they demand thy soul from thee this night, and the things that thou prepared, whose will they be?
But God sayde vnto him: Thou fole this night will they fetche awaye thy soule agayne from the. Then whose shall thoose thinges be which thou hast provyded?
21 So is he who stores up for himself, and is not being rich toward God.
So is it with him that gadereth ryches and is not ryche in God.
22 And he said to his disciples, Because of this I say to you, be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat, nor for the body, what ye may wear.
And he spake vnto his disciples: Therfore I saye vnto you: take no thought for youre lyfe what ye shall eate nether for youre body what ye shall put on.
23 For the life is more than the food, and the body, the clothing.
The lyfe is moare then meate and the bodye is moare then rayment.
24 Consider the ravens, because they do not sow, nor do they reap, for which there is no storehouse nor barn, and God feeds them. How much ye are worth more than the birds.
Considre the ravens for they nether sowe nor repe which nether have stoorehousse ner barne and yet God fedeth them. How moche are ye better then the foules.
25 And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his age?
Which of you with takynge thought can adde to his stature one cubit?
26 If then ye are not able to do even the least, why are ye anxious about the rest?
Yf ye then be not able to do that thinge which is least: why take ye thought for the remmaunt?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They toil not, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these.
Considre the lylies how they growe: They laboure not: they spyn not: and yet I saye vnto you that Salomon in all this royalte was not clothed lyke to one of these.
28 And if God so clothes the grass in the field, which today is, and tomorrow being cast into the oven, how much more you, O ye of little faith?
Yf the grasse which is todaye in the felde and tomorowe shalbe cast into the fornace God so clothe: how moche moore will he clothe you o ye endued wt litell faith?
29 And do not seek what ye may eat, and what ye may drink, and do not be unsettled.
And axe not what ye shall eate or what ye shall drinke nether clyme ye vp an hye
30 For the nations of the world seek all these things, and your Father knows that ye have need of these things.
for all suche thinges the hethen people of the worlde seke for. Youre father knoweth that ye have nede of suche thinges.
31 However, seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.
Wherfore seke ye after the kyngedome of God and all these thinges shalbe ministred vnto you.
32 Fear not, little flock, because your Father is well pleased to give you the kingdom.
Feare not litell floocke for it is youre fathers pleasure to geve you a kingdome.
33 Sell things possessed by you, and give charity. Make for yourselves purses not becoming old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where no thief approaches, nor moth corrupts.
Sell that ye have and geve almes. And make you bagges which wexe not olde and treasure that fayleth not in heaven where noo these commeth nether moth corrupteth.
34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
For where youre treasure is there will youre hertes be also.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and the lights burning,
Let youre loynes be gerdde about and youre lightes brennynge
36 and be ye like men waiting for their lord, when he may return from the wedding festivities, so that when he comes and knocks, they may straightaway open to him.
and ye youre selves lyke vnto men that wayte for their master when he will returne fro a weddinge: that assone as he cometh and knocketh they maye ope vnto him.
37 Blessed are those bondmen whom the lord when he comes will find watching. Truly I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to sit down, and having come, will serve them.
Happy are those servauntes which the Lorde when he cometh shall fynde wakynge. Verely I saye vnto you he will gerdde him selfe about and make them sit doune to meate and walke by and minister vnto them.
38 And if he should come in the second watch, and should come in the third watch, and find so, blessed are those bondmen.
And yf he come in the seconde watche ye if he come in the thyrde watche and shall fynde them soo happy are those servauntes.
39 But know this, that if the house-ruler had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
This vnderstonde that yf the good man of the housse knewe what houre ye these wolde come he wolde suerly watche: and not suffer his housse to be broken vp.
40 Therefore, ye also become ready, because the Son of man comes at that hour ye do not suppose.
Be ye prepared therfore: for the sonne of man will come at an houre when ye thinke not.
41 And Peter said to him, Lord, did thou speak this parable to us, or also to all?
Then Peter sayde vnto him: Master tellest thou this similitude vnto vs or to all men?
42 And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise manager whom his lord will appoint over his service to give the provision on time?
And the Lorde sayde: If there be any faith full servaut and wise whom his Lorde shall make ruler over his housholde to geve them their duetie of meate at due season:
43 Blessed is that bondman whom his lord when he comes will find so doing.
happy is that servaunt whom his master when he cometh shall finde soo doinge.
44 Truly I say to you, that he will appoint him over the things being possessed by him.
Of a trueth I saye vnto you: that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
45 But if that bondman should say in his heart, My lord is late to come, and should begin to beat the servant boys and the servant girls, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken,
But and yf the evyll servaunt shall saye in his hert: My master wyll differre his cominge and shall beginne to smyte the servauntes and maydens and to eate and drinke and to be dronken:
46 the lord of that bondman will arrive in a day that he does not expect, and in an hour that he is not aware, and will cut him in two, and will place his portion with the unbelieving.
the Lorde of that servaunt will come in a daye when he thinketh not and at an houre when he is not ware and will devyde him and will geve him his rewarde with the vnbelevers.
47 And that bondman who knew his lord's will, and who did not prepare, nor do according to his will, will be beaten much,
The servaut that knewe his masters will and prepared not him selfe nether dyd accordinge to his will shalbe bete with many strypes.
48 but he who did not know, and did things worthy of blows, will be beaten little. And to every man to whom much was given, much will be required from him. And to whom they entrust much, they will ask him more abundantly.
But he that knewe not and yet dyd committe thinges worthy of strypes shalbe beaten with feawe strypes. For vnto whom moche is geven of him shalbe moche requyred. And to whom men moche commyt the moare of him will they axe.
49 I came to cast fire upon the earth, and what I desire is if it were kindled already.
I am come to sende fyre on erth: and what is my dysyre but that it were all redy kyndled?
50 But I have an immersion to be immersed, and how am I constrained until it will be accomplished.
Not with stondinge I must de baptised with a baptyme: and how am I payned till it be ended?
51 Do ye suppose that I came to give peace on the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
Suppose ye that I am come to sende peace on erth? I tell you naye: but rather debate.
52 For henceforth there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
For fro hence forthe ther shalbe five in one housse devided thre agaynst two and two agaynst thre.
53 A father will be divided against a son, and a son against a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
The father shalbe devided agaynst the sonne and the sonne agaynst the father. The mother agaynst the doughter and the doughter agaynst the mother. The motereleawe agaynst hir doughterelawe and the doughterelawe agaynst hir motherelawe.
54 And he also said to the multitudes, When ye see a cloud rising from the west, straightaway ye say, A shower is coming, and so it happens.
Then sayde he to the people: when ye se a cloude ryse out of the west strayght waye ye saye: we shall have a shower and soo it is.
55 And when a south wind is blowing, ye say, There will be heat, and it happens.
And when ye se the south wynde blow ye saye: we shall have heet and it cometh to passe.
56 Ye hypocrites, ye know how to examine the face of the earth and the sky, but how can ye not examine this season?
Ypocrites ye can skyll of the fassion of the erth and of the skye: but what is ye cause that ye canot skyll of this time?
57 And also why do ye not judge yourselves what is right?
Ye and why iudge ye not of youre selves what is righte?
58 For when thou go with thine opponent to the magistrate on the way give effort to be delivered from him, lest he may drag thee to the judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and the officer would cast thee into prison.
Whill thou goest with thyne adversary to the ruler: as thou arte in the waye geve diligence that thou mayst be delivered fro him least he bringe the to the iudge and the iudge delyver the to the iaylar and the iaylar cast the in to preson.
59 I say to thee, thou will, no, not come out from there, until thou have paid even the last mite.
I tell ye thou departest not thence tyll thou have made good ye vtmost myte.
