1 In tho daies eft, whanne myche puple was with Jhesu, and hadden not what thei schulden ete, whanne hise disciplis weren clepid togidir,
In those dayes whe ther was a very greate companye and had nothinge to eate Iesus called his disciples to him and sayd vnto the:
2 he seide to hem, I haue reuth on the puple, for lo! now the thridde dai thei abiden me, and han not what to ete;
I have copassion on this people because they have nowe bene with me. iii. dayes and have nothinge to eate:
3 and if Y leeue hem fastynge in to her hous, thei schulen faile in the weie; for summe of hem camen fro fer.
And yf I shuld sende the awaye fastinge to their awne houses they shulde faynt by the waye. For dyvers of the came from farre.
4 And hise disciplis answerden to hym, Wherof schal a man mowe fille hem with looues here in wildirnesse?
And his disciples answered him: where shuld a man have breade here in the wildernes to satisfie these?
5 And he axide hem, Hou many looues han ye?
And he axed them: how many loves have ye? They sayde: seven.
6 Whiche seiden, Seuene. And he comaundide the puple to sitte doun on the erthe. And he took the seuene looues, and dide thankyngis, and brak, and yaf to hise disciplis, that thei schulden sette forth. And thei settiden forth to the puple.
And he commaunded the people to syt doune on the grounde. And he toke the. vii. loves gave thankes brake and gave to his disciples to set before them. And they dyd set the before the people.
7 And thei hadden a few smale fischis; and he blesside hem, and comaundide, that thei weren sette forth.
And they had a feawe smale fysshes. And he blessed them and comaunded them also to be set before them.
8 And thei eten, and weren fulfillid; and thei token vp that that lefte of relifs, seuene lepis.
And they ate and were suffysed: And they toke vp yf the broken meate that was lefte. vii. baskettes full.
9 And thei that eeten, weren as foure thousynde of men; and he lefte hem.
And they yt ate were in nomber aboute fowre thousand. And he sent them awaye.
10 And anoon he wente vp in to a boot, with hise disciplis, and cam in to the coostis of Dalmamytha.
And a none he entred into a ship wt his disciples and came into the parties of Dalmanutha.
11 And the Farisees wenten out, and bigunnen to dispuyte with hym, and axiden a tokne of hym fro heuene, and temptiden hym.
And the pharises cam forth and begane to dispute with him sekinge of him a signe fro heven and temptinge him.
12 And he sorewynge `with ynne in spirit, seide, What sekith this generacioun a tokne? Treuli Y seie to you, a tokene schal not be youun to this generacioun.
And he sygthed in his sprete and sayde: why doth this generacion seke a signe? Verely I saye vnto you ther shall no signe be geven vnto this generacion.
13 And he lefte hem, and wente vp eftsoone in to a boot, and wente ouer the see.
And he lefte the and went into the ship agayne and departed over the water.
14 And thei foryaten to take breed, and thei hadden not with hem but o loof in the boot.
And they had forgotte to take breed wt the nether had they in the ship with them more then one loofe.
15 And he comaundide hem, and seide, Se ye, and `be war of the sowre dowy of Farisees, and of the sowrdowy of Eroude.
And he charged the sayinge. Take hede and beware of ye leven of ye pharises and of ye leve of Herode.
16 And thei thouyten, and seiden oon to anothir, For we han not looues.
And they reasoned amonge the selves sayinge: we have no breed
17 And whanne this thing was knowun, Jhesus seide to hem, What thenken ye, for ye han not looues? Yit ye knowun not, ne vndurstonden; yit ye han youre herte blyndid.
And whe Iesus knewe yt he sayde vnto the: why take ye thought because ye have no bread? perceave ye not yet nether vnderstonde? Have ye youre hertes yet blynded?
18 Ye hauynge iyen, seen not, and ye hauynge eeris, heren not; nethir ye han mynde,
Have ye eyes and se not? and have ye eares and heare not? Do ye not remember?
19 whanne Y brak fyue looues among fyue thousynde, and hou many cofynes ful of brokun meete `ye tokun vp? Thei seien to hym, Twelue.
When I brake v. loves amonge. v. M. How many baskettes full of broke meate toke ye vp? They sayde vnto him twelve.
20 Whanne also seuene looues among foure thousynde of men, hou many lepis of brokun mete tokun ye vp?
When I brake. vii. amonge. iiii. M. How many basketes of the levinges of broken meate toke ye vp? they sayde. vii.
21 And thei seien to hym, Seuene. And he seide to hem, Hou vndurstonden ye not yit?
And he sayde vnto the: how is it yt ye vnderstonde not?
22 And thei camen to Bethsaida, and thei bryngen to hym a blynde man, and thei preieden hym, that he schulde touche hym.
And he came to Bethsaida and they brought a blynde man vnto him and desyred him to touche him.
23 And whanne he hadde take the blynde mannus hoond, he ledde hym out of the street, and spete in to hise iyen, and sette hise hoondis on hym; and he axide hym, if he saye ony thing.
And he caught the blynde by the honde and leade him out of the toune and spat in his eyes and put his hondes apon him and axed him whether he saw ought.
24 And he bihelde, and seide, Y se men as trees walkynge.
And he loked vp and sayde: I se ye men: For I se the walke as they were trees.
25 Aftirward eftsoones he sette hise hondis on hise iyen, and he bigan to see, and he was restorid, so that he saiy cleerli alle thingis.
After that he put his hondes agayne apon his eyes and made him see. And he was restored to his sight and sawe every ma clerly.
26 And he sente hym in to his hous, and seide, Go in to thin hous; and if thou goist in to the streete, seie to no man.
And he sent him home to his housse sayinge: nether goo into the toune nor tell it to eny in the toune.
27 And Jhesus entride and hise disciplis in to the castels of Cesarye of Philip. And in the weie he axide hise disciplis, and seide to hem, Whom seien men that Y am?
And Iesus went out and his disciples into the tounes that longe to the cite called Cesarea Philippi. Aud by the waye he axed his disciples sayinge: whom do men saye yt I am?
28 Whiche answeriden to hym, and seiden, Summen seien, Joon Baptist; other seien, Heli; and other seien, as oon of the prophetis.
And they answered: some saye that thou arte Iohn Baptiste: some saye Helyas: and some one of the Prophetes.
29 Thanne he seith to hem, But whom seien ye that Y am? Petre answeride, and seide to hym, Thou art Crist.
And he sayde vnto the: But whom saye ye that I am? Peter answered and sayd vnto him: Thou arte very Christe.
30 And he chargide hem, that thei schulden not seie of hym to ony man.
And he charged them that they shuld tell no man of it.
31 And he bigan to teche hem, that it bihoueth mannus sone to suffre many thingis, and to be repreued of the elder men, and of the hiyest prestis, and the scribis, and to be slayn, and aftir thre dayes, to rise ayen.
And he beganne to teache them how that the sonne of man must suffre many thinges and shuld be reproved of the elders and of the hye prestes and scribes and be kylled and after thre dayes aryse agayne.
32 And he spak pleynli the word. And Peter took hym, and bigan to blame hym, and seide, Lord, be thou merciful to thee, for this schal not be.
And he spake that sayinge openly. And Peter toke him asyde and began to chyde him.
33 And he turnede, and saiy hise disciplis, and manasside Petir, and seide, Go after me, Satanas; for thou sauerist not tho thingis that ben of God, but tho thingis that ben of men.
Then he tourned aboute and looked on his disciples and rebuked Peter sayinge: Goo after me Satan. For thou saverest not ye thinges of God but the thinges of men.
34 And whanne the puple was clepid togidere, with hise disciplis, he seide to hem, If ony man wole come after me, denye he hym silf, and take his cros, and sue he me.
And he called the people vnto him with his disciples also and sayd vnto them: Whosoever will folowe me let him forsake him sylfe and take vp his crosse and folowe me.
35 For he that wole make saaf his lijf, schal leese it; and he that leesith his lijf for me, and for the gospel, schal make it saaf.
For whosoever will save his lyfe shall lose it But whosoever shall lose his lyfe for my sake and ye gospels ye same shall save it.
36 For what profitith it to a man, if he wynne al the world, and do peiryng to his soule?
What shall it profet a ma yf he shuld wynne all ye worlde and loose his awne soule?
37 or what chaunging schal a man yyue for his soule?
or els what shall a ma geve to redeme his soule agayne?
38 But who that knoulechith me and my wordis in this generacioun avowtresse and synful, also mannus sone schal knouleche him, whanne he schal come in the glorie of his fadir, with his aungels.
Whosoever therfore shall be asshamed of me and of my wordes amonge this advoutrous and sinfull generacion: of him shall the sonne of man be ashamed when he cometh in the glory of his father wt the holy angels.
