Luke 12
1 In those [times], the myriads of the crowd being gathered together, so that they trod one on another, he began to say to his disciples first, Beware of 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 which shall not be revealed, nor secret that shall not be known;
For ther is no thinge covered that shall not be vncovered: nether hyd that shall not be knowen.
3 therefore whatever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light, and what ye have spoken in the ear in chambers shall 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 But I say to you, my friends, Fear not those who kill the body and after this have no more that they can 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 shew you whom ye shall fear: Fear him who after he has killed has authority to cast into hell; yea, I say to you, Fear 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 assaria? and one of them is not forgotten before 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 better than many sparrows.
Also even the very heres of youre heedes are nombred. Feare not therfore: ye are moare of value then many sparowes.
8 But I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, the Son of man will confess him also before the angels 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 that shall have denied me before men shall be denied before the angels of God;
And he that denyeth me before men: shalbe denyed before ye angels of God.
10 and whoever shall say a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but to him that speaks injuriously against the Holy Spirit it shall 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 But when they bring you before the synagogues and rulers and the authorities, be not careful how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall 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 shall teach you in the hour itself what should be said.
For the holy goost shall teache you in the same houre what ye ought to saye.
13 And a person said to him out of the crowd, 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 established me [as] a judge or a divider over you?
And he sayde vnto him: Man who made me a iudge or a devider over you?
15 And he said to them, Take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness, for [it is] not because a man is in abundance [that] his life is in his possessions.
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 abundantly.
And he put forth a similitude vnto them sayinge: The groude of a certayne riche ma brought forth frutes plenteously
17 And he reasoned within himself saying, What shall I do? for I have not [a place] where I shall lay up my fruits.
and he thought in himsilfe sayinge: what shall I do? because I have noo roume where to bestowe my frutes?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will take away my granaries and build greater, and there I will lay up all my produce and my good things;
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 hast much good things laid by for many years; repose thyself, 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, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?
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 Thus is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
So is it with him that gadereth ryches and is not ryche in God.
22 And he said to his disciples, For this cause I say unto you, Be not careful for life, what ye shall eat, nor for the body, what ye shall put on.
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 The life is more than food, and the body than raiment.
The lyfe is moare then meate and the bodye is moare then rayment.
24 Consider the ravens, that they sow not nor reap; which have neither storehouse nor granary; and God feeds them. How much better are ye 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 But which of you by being careful can add to his stature one cubit?
Which of you with takynge thought can adde to his stature one cubit?
26 If therefore ye cannot [do] even what is least, why are ye careful 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 neither toil nor spin; but I say unto you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as 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 But if God thus clothe the grass, which to-day is in the field and to-morrow is cast into [the] oven, how much rather 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 ye, seek not what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, and be not in anxiety;
And axe not what ye shall eate or what ye shall drinke nether clyme ye vp an hye
30 for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, 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 but seek his kingdom, and [all] these things shall 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, for it has been the good pleasure of your Father to give you the kingdom.
Feare not litell floocke for it is youre fathers pleasure to geve you a kingdome.
33 Sell what ye possess and give alms; make to yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure which does not fail in the heavens, where thief does not draw near nor moth destroy.
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 also will your heart be.
For where youre treasure is there will youre hertes be also.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and lamps burning;
Let youre loynes be gerdde about and youre lightes brennynge
36 and ye like men who wait their own lord whenever he may leave the wedding, that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.
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 [on] coming shall find watching; verily I say unto you, that he will gird himself and make them recline at table, and coming up 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 come in the second watch, and come in the third watch, and find [them] thus, 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 this know, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be dug through.
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 And ye therefore, be ye ready, for in the hour in which ye do not think [it], the Son of man comes.
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, sayest thou 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 prudent steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give the measure of corn in season?
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 [on] coming shall find doing thus;
happy is that servaunt whom his master when he cometh shall finde soo doinge.
44 verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he has.
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 delays to come, and begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and to 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 shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of, and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the unbelievers.
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 But that bondman who knew his own lord's will, and had not prepared [himself] nor done his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes];
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 knew [it] not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. And to every one to whom much has been given, much shall be required from him; and to whom [men] have committed much, they will ask from him the more.
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 have come to cast a fire on the earth; and what will I if already it has been kindled?
I am come to sende fyre on erth: and what is my dysyre but that it were all redy kyndled?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptised with, and how am I straitened until it shall have been accomplished!
Not with stondinge I must de baptised with a baptyme: and how am I payned till it be ended?
51 Think ye that I have come to give peace in the earth? Nay, I say to you, but rather division:
Suppose ye that I am come to sende peace on erth? I tell you naye: but rather debate.
52 for from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided; three shall be divided 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 father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against 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 said also to the crowds, When ye see a cloud rising out of the west, straightway 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 [ye see] the south wind blow, 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 Hypocrites, ye know how to judge of the appearance of the earth and of the heaven; how [is it then that] ye do not discern this time?
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 why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
Ye and why iudge ye not of youre selves what is righte?
58 For as thou goest with thine adverse party before a magistrate, strive in the way to be reconciled with him, lest he drag thee away to the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer 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 unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out thence until thou hast paid the very last mite.
I tell ye thou departest not thence tyll thou have made good ye vtmost myte.
