and it being the Sabbath day, He began to preach in the synagogue: and many hearing were astonished, saying, Whence are these things to this one? and, What wisdom is given unto Him? Such miracles are wrought by His hands.
3 Whether this is not a carpenter, the sone of Marie, the brother of James and of Joseph and of Judas and of Symount? whether hise sistris ben not here with vs? And thei weren sclaundrid in hym.
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary? the brother of James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? Are not His sisters here with us? And they were offended in Him.
4 And Jhesus seide to hem, That a profete is not without onoure, but in his owne cuntrey, and among his kynne, and in his hous.
And Jesus said to them; A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, and among his relatives, and in his own house.
5 And he myyte not do there ony vertu, saue that he helide a fewe sijk men, leiynge on hem hise hoondis.
And He was not able to do any miracle there, except laying hands on a few sick people, He healed them.
6 And he wondride for the vnbileue of hem. And he wente aboute casteles on ech side, and tauyte.
And He was astonished on account of their unbelief. And He went about the villages in a circuit teaching.

10 And he seide to hem, Whidur euer ye entren in to an hous, dwelle ye there, til ye goon out fro thennus.
And He said to them, Into whatsoever house you may enter, there abide until you may go out from thence.
11 And who euer resseyueth you not, ne herith you, go ye out fro thennus, and schake awei the powdir fro youre feet, in to witnessyng to hem.
And whatsoever place may not receive you nor hear you, going forth thence, shake off the dust which is beneath your feet for a testimony unto them.
12 And thei yeden forth, and prechiden, that men schulden do penaunce.
And having gone out they preached that they must repent;
13 And thei castiden out many feendis, and anoyntiden with oyle many sijk men, and thei weren heelid.
and they cast out many demons; and anointed many sick with oil, and healed them.
14 And kyng Eroude herde, for his name was maad opyn, and seide, That Joon Baptist hath risen ayen fro deeth, and therfor vertues worchen in hym.
And king Herod heard; for His name became known: and said, John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works are wrought in Him.

And others continued to say, That He is Elijah; and others continued to say that He is a prophet, indeed one of the prophets.
16 And whanne this thing was herd, Eroude seide, This Joon, whom Y haue biheedide, is risun ayen fro deeth.
But Herod hearing said, That, He is John, whom I beheaded; He is risen from the dead.
17 For thilke Eroude sente, and helde Joon, and boond hym in to prisoun, for Erodias, the wijf of Filip, his brothir; for he hadde weddid hir.
For Herod himself having sent, arrested John, and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip: because he married her.
18 For Joon seide to Eroude, It is not leueful to thee, to haue the wijf of thi brothir.
For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have the wife of thy brother.
19 And Erodias leide aspies to hym, and wolde sle hym, and myyte not.
And Herodias hated him, and wished to kill him; and was not able;
20 And Eroude dredde Joon, and knewe hym a iust man and hooli, and kepte hym. And Eroude herde hym, and he dide many thingis, and gladli herde hym.
for Herod was afraid of John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and he continued to hold him in prison: and hearing him, he continued to do many things, and he was hearing him gladly.

23 And he swore to hir, That what euer thou axe, Y schal yyue to thee, thouy it be half my kyngdom.
And he promised her, I will give you whatsoever you may ask, even unto the half of my kingdom.
24 And whanne sche hadde goon out, sche seide to hir modir, What schal Y axe? And sche seide, The heed of Joon Baptist.
And having gone out, she said to her mother, What shall I ask And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
25 And whanne sche was comun ynne anoon with haast to the kyng, sche axide, and seide, Y wole that anoon thou yyue to me in a dische the heed of Joon Baptist.
And she having come in to the king, immediately with haste asked him, saying; I wish, that you may give to me immediately, the head of John the Baptist in a charger.
26 And the kyng was sori for the ooth, and for men that saten togidere at the meete he wolde not make hir sori;
And the king being grieved exceedingly; on account of his oaths, and those sitting with him, was not willing to reject her.

And the king immediately sending forth a soldier of his guard, commanded that his head should be brought.
28 and brouyte his heed in a disch, and yaf it to the damysel, and the damysel yaf to hir modir.

The apostles return to Jesus, and related unto Him all things, even so many as they did, and so many as they taught.
31 And he seide to hem, Come ye bi you silf in to a desert place; and reste ye a litil. For there were many that camen, and wenten ayen, and thei hadden not space to ete.
And He said to them, Come ye privately into a desert place, and rest a little while. For many were coming and going, neither had they leisure even to eat.

And they came away into a desert place privately in a ship.
33 And thei sayn hem go awei, and many knewen, and thei wenten afoote fro alle citees, and runnen thidur, and camen bifor hem.
