1After a feawe dayes he entred into Capernaum agayne and it was noysed that he was in a housse.
2And anone many gadered to geder in so moche that now there was no roume to receave them: no not so moche as about the dore. And he preached the worde vnto them.
3And there came vnto him that brought one sicke of the palsie borne of fower men.
4And because they coulde not come nye vnto him for preace they vncovered the rofe of the housse where he was. And when they had broken it open they let doune the beed where in the sicke of the palsie laye.
5When Iesus sawe their fayth he sayde to the sicke of the palsie sonne thy sinnes are forgeven the.
6And ther were certayne of the scribes sittinge there and reasoninge in their hertes:
7how doeth this felowe so blaspheme? Who can forgeve synnes but God only?
8And immediatly when Iesus perceaved in his sprete that they so reasoned in the selves he sayde vnto them: why thynke ye soche thinges in youre hertes?
9Whether is it easyer to saye to the sicke of the palsie thy synnes are forgeven the or to saye aryse take vp thy beed and walke?
10That ye maye knowe that the sonne of man hath power in erth to forgeve synnes he spake vnto ye sicke of the palsie:
11I saye vnto the aryse and take vp thy beed and get the hense into thyne awne housse.
12And by and by he arose toke vp the beed and went forth before them all: in so moche that they were all amased and glorified God sayinge: we never sawe it on this fassion.
13And he went agayne vnto the see and all the people resorted vnto him and he taught them.
14And as Iesus passed by he sawe Levy the sonne of Alphey syt at the receyte of custome and sayde vnto him: folowe me. And he arose and folowed him.
15And it came to passe as Iesus sate at meate in his housse many publicans and synners sate at meate also with Iesus and his disciples. For there were many that folowed him.
16And when the Scribes and Pharises sawe him eate with publicans and synnere they sayde vnto his disciples: how is it that he eateth and drynketh with publicans and synners?
17When Iesus hearde that he sayde vnto them. The whole have no nede of the phisicion but the sicke. I came not to call the rightwise but the synners to repentaunce.
18And the disciples of Iohn and the Pharises dyd faste: and therfore came and sayde vnto him. Why do the disciples of Iohn and of the Pharises faste and thy disciples fast not.
19And Iesus sayde vnto them: can the chyldren of a weddinge faste while the brydgrome is with them. As longe as they have the brydgrome with them they cannot faste.
20But the dayes will come when the brydgrome shalbe taken from them and then shall they faste in those dayes.
21Also no man soweth a pece of newe cloth vnto an olde garmet for then taketh he awaye the newe pece from the olde and so is the rent worsse.
22In lyke wyse no man poureth newe wyne into olde vessels: for yf he do the newe wyne breaketh the vessels and the wyne runneth out and the vessels are marred. But new wyne must be poured into new vessels.
23And it chaunsed that he wet thorow the corne feldes on the Saboth daye: and his disciples as they went on their waye beganne to plucke the eares of corne.
24And the Pharises sayde vnto him: beholde why do they on the Saboth dayes that which is not laufull?
25And he sayde to them: have ye never rede what David dyd when he had nede and was anhogred bothe he and they that were with him?
26How he went into the housse of God in the dayes of Abiathar the hye preste and dyd eate the halowed loves which is not laufull to eate but for the prestes only: and gave also to the which were with him?
27And he sayde to them: the Saboth daye was made for man and not man for the Saboth daye.
28Wherfore the sonne of man is Lorde even of the Saboth daye.
