¹ And Iesus answered and spake vnto them agayne in similitudes sayinge.

² The kingdome of heve is lyke vnto a certayne kynge which maryed his sonne

³ and sent forth his servantes to call them that were byd to the weddinge and they wolde not come.

⁴ Ageyne he sent forth other servauntes sayinge: Tell them which are bydden: beholde I have prepared my dynner myne oxen and my fatlinges are kylled and all thinges are redy come vnto the mariage.

⁵ But they made light of it and went their wayes: one to his ferme place another about his marchaundise

⁶ the remnaunt toke his seruantes and intreated them vngodly and slewe them.

⁷ When the kinge hearde that he was wroth and send forth his warryers and distroyed those murtherers and brent vp their cyte.

⁸ Then sayde he to his servauutes: the weddinge was prepared. But they which were bydden were not worthy.

⁹ Go ye therfore out into ye hyewayes and as many as ye finde byd them to the mariage.

¹⁰ The seruauntes wet out into the hiewayes and gaddered to gedder as many as they coulde fynde both good and bad and ye weddinge was furnysshed with gestes.

¹¹ Then the kynge came in to viset the gestes and spyed there a ma which had not on a weddinge garment

¹² and sayde vnto him: frende how fortuned it that thou camest in hither and hast not on a weddyng garment? And he was eve spechlesse.

¹³ Then sayde the kynge to his ministers: take and bynde hym hand and fote and caste hym into vtter darcknes there shalbe wepinge and gnasshinge of teth.

¹⁴ For many are called and feawe be chosen.

¹⁵ Then wet the Pharises and toke counsell how they might tagle him in his wordes.

¹⁶ And they sent vnto him their disciples with Herodes servauntes sayinge: Master we knowe yt thou are true and teachest the waye of god trulie nether carest for eny man for thou consydrest not menes estate.

¹⁷ Tell vs therfore: how thynkest thou? Is it lawfull to geve tribute vnto Cesar or not?

¹⁸ Iesus perceaved their wikednes and sayde: Why tempte ye me ye ypocrites?

¹⁹ Let me se ye tribute money. And they toke hym a peny.

²⁰ And he sayde vnto them: whose is this ymage and superscripcion?

²¹ They sayde vnto him: Cesars. Then sayde he vnto them. Geve therfore to Cesar that which is Cesars: and geve vnto god that which is goddes.

²² When they hearde that they marveled and lefte hym and went there waye.

²³ The same daye the Saduces came to him (which saye that there is no resurrcecion) and axed him

²⁴ sayinge: Master Moses bade yf a man dye havinge no chyldre that the brother mary his wyfe and reyse vp seed vnto his brother.

²⁵ Ther were wt vs seven brethre and the fyrste maried and deceased wt oute yssue and lefte his wyfe vnto his brother.

²⁶ Lykewise the seconde and ye thryd vnto the sevethe.

²⁷ Laste of all the woman dyed also.

²⁸ Now in the resurreccion whose wyfe shall she be of the seven? For all had her.

²⁹ Iesus answered and sayde vnto the: ye are deceaved and vnderstonde not the scriptures nor yet the power of God.

³⁰ For in the resurreccion they nether mary nor are maryed: but are as the angels of God in heven.

³¹ As touchynge the resurreccion of the deed: have ye not redde what is sayde vnto you of God which sayeth:

³² I am Abrahams God and Ysaacks God and the God of Iacob? God is not the God of the deed: but of the lyvinge.

³³ And when the people hearde that they were astonyed at his doctrine.

³⁴ When the Pharises had hearde how yt he had put the Saduces to silence they drewe to gedder

³⁵ and one of them which was a doctoure of lawe axed a question teptinge h m and sayinge:

³⁶ Master which is ye chefe comaundment in the lawe?

³⁷ Iesus sayde vnto him: love the Lorde thy God wt all thine herte with all thy soule and with all thy mynde.

³⁸ This is the fyrst and the chefe comaundement.

³⁹ And ther is another lyke vnto this. Love thyne neghbour as thy selfe.

⁴⁰ In these two commaundemetes hange all the lawe and the Prophetes.

⁴¹ Whyll the Pharises were gaddered togeder Iesus axed

⁴² the sayinge: what thinke ye of Christ? Whose sonne is he? They sayde vnto him: the sonne of David.

⁴³ He sayde vnto the: how then doeth David in spirite call him Lorde sayinge?

⁴⁴ The Lorde sayde to my Lorde syt on my right honde: tyll I make thyne enemyes thy fote stole.

⁴⁵ Yf David call him Lorde: how is he then his sonne?

⁴⁶ And none coulde answere him ageyne one worde: nether dueste eny from that daye forth axe him eny moo questions.
