Tyndale - Luke - 18

18:1  And he put forth a similitude vnto the signifyinge that men ought alwayes to praye and not to be wery

18:2  sayinge: Ther was a Iudge in a certayne cite which feared not god nether regarded man.

18:3  And ther was a certayne wedowe in the same cite which came vnto him sayinge: avenge me of myne adversary.

18:4  And he wolde not for a whyle. But afterwarde he sayd vnto him selfe: though I feare not God nor care for man

18:5  yet because this wedowe troubleth me I will avenge her lest at the laste she come and hagge on me.

18:6  And the lorde sayd: heare what the vnrightewes Iudge sayeth.

18:7  And shall not god avenge his electe which crye daye and nyght vnto him ye though he differre them?

18:8  I tell you he will avenge them and that quickly. Neverthelesse when the sonne of man cometh suppose ye that he shall fynde faithe on the erthe.

18:9  And he put forthe this similitude vnto certayne which trusted in the selves yt they were perfecte and despysed other.

18:10  Two men went vp into ye teple to praye: ye one a pharise and the other a publican.

18:11  The pharise stode and prayed thus wt him selfe. God I thanke the yt I am not as other men are extorsioners vniuste advoutrers or as this publican.

18:12  I fast twyse in ye weke. I geve tythe of all that I possesse.

18:13  And the publican stode afarre of and wolde not lyfte vp his eyes to heven but smote his brest sayinge: God be mercyfull to me a synner.

18:14  I tell you: this ma departed hoe to his housse iustified moore then the other. For every man that exalteth him selfe shalbe brought low: And he yt hubleth him selfe shalbe exalted

18:15  They brought vnto him also babes yt he shuld touche the. When his disciples sawe that they rebuked the.

18:16  But Iesus called the vnto him and sayde: Suffre chyldren to come vnto me and forbidde the not. For of soche is ye kyngdome of God.

18:17  Verely I saye vnto you: whosoever receaveth not the kyngdome of God as a chylde: he shall not enter therin.

18:18  And a certayne ruler axed him sayinge: Good Master: what ought I to do to obtayne eternall lyfe?

18:19  Iesus sayd vnto him: Why callest thou me good? No man is good save God only.

18:20  Thou knowest ye comaundmentes: Thou shalt not commit advoutry: thou shalt not kyll: thou shalt not steale: thou shalt not beare false witnes: Honoure thy father and thy mother.

18:21  And he sayde: all these have I kept from my youthe.

18:22  When Iesus hearde that he sayde vnto him: Yet lackest thou one thinge. Sell all that thou hast and distribute it vnto the poore and thou shalt have treasure in heven and come and folowe me.

18:23  When he heard that he was hevy: for he was very ryche.

18:24  When Iesus sawe him morne he sayde: with what difficulte shall they that have ryches enter into the kyngdome of God:

18:25  it is easyer for a camell to goo thorow a nedles eye then for a ryche man to enter into the kyngdome of God.

18:26  Then sayde they that hearde that: And who shall then be saved?

18:27  And he sayde: Thinges which are vnpossible with men are possible with God.

18:28  Then Peter sayde: Loo we have lefte all and have folowed the.

18:29  And he sayde vnto them: Verely I saye vnto you ther is noo man that leaveth housse other father and mother other brethren or wyfe or chyldren for the kyngdome of Goddes sake

18:30  which same shall not receave moche moore in this worlde: and in the worlde to come lyfe everlastinge.

18:31  He toke vnto him twelve and sayde vnto them. Beholde we go vp to Ierusalem and all shalbe fulfilled that are written by ye Prophetes of the sonne of man.

18:32  He shalbe delivered vnto the gentils and shalbe mocked and shalbe despytfully entreated and shalbe spetted on:

18:33  and when they have scourged him they will put him to deeth and the thyrde daye he shall aryse agayne.

18:34  But they vnderstode none of these thinges. And this sayinge was hid fro them. And they perceaved not the thinges which were spoken.

18:35  And it came to passe as he was come nye vnto Hierico a certayne blynde man sate by the waye syde begginge.

18:36  And when he hearde the people passe by he axed what it meant.

18:37  And they sayde vnto him yt Iesus of Nazareth passed by.

18:38  And he cryed sayinge: Iesus ye sonne of David have thou mercy on me.

18:39  And they which went before rebuked him that he shuld holde his peace. But he cryed so moche the moare thou sonne of David have mercy on me.

18:40  And Iesus stode styll and commaunded him to be brought vnto him. And when he was come neare he axed him

18:41  sayinge: What wilt thou that I do vnto the? And he sayde: Lorde yt I maye receave my sight.

18:42  Iesus sayde vnto him: receave thy sight: thy faith hath saved the.

18:43  And immediatly he sawe and folowed him praysinge God. And all the people when they sawe it gave laude to God.
