44 Let these sayinges sincke downe into your eares: For it wyll come to passe, that the sonne of man shalbe deliuered into the handes of men. 45 But they wyst not what that worde meant, and it was hydde from them that they vnderstoode it not: And they feared to aske hym of that saying. 46 Then there arose a disputatio among them, which of them should be the greatest. 47 When Iesus perceaued the thought of their heartes, he toke a chylde, and set hym harde by hym, 48 And sayde vnto them: Whosoeuer receaueth this chylde in my name, receaueth me: And whosoeuer receaueth me, receaueth him that sent me. For he that is least among you all, the same shalbe great. 49 And Iohn aunswered, and sayde: Maister, we sawe one castyng out deuyls in thy name, and we forbad hym, because he foloweth not with vs. 50 And Iesus sayde vnto hym, Forbyd ye hym not: For he that is not against vs, is with vs. 51 And it came to passe, when the tyme was come that he shoulde be receaued vp, he set his face to go to Hierusalem. 52 And sent messengers before him: And they went, & entred into a towne of the Samaritanes, to make redy for hym. 53 And they woulde not receaue him, because his face was as though he woulde go to Hierusalem. 54 When his disciples, Iames & Iohn, sawe this, they sayde: Lord, wylt thou that we comaunde fire to come downe from heauen and consume them, euen as Elias dyd? 55 Iesus turned about, & rebuked them, saying: Ye wote not what maner spirite ye are of. 56 For the sonne of man is not come to destroye mens lyues, but to saue them. And they went to another towne. 57 And it came to passe, that as they went walkyng in the way, a certayne man sayde vnto hym: I wyll folowe thee Lorde whyther so euer thou go. 58 And Iesus sayde vnto hym: Foxes haue holes, and byrdes of the ayre haue nestes: but the sonne of man, hath not where to lay his head. 59 And he sayde vnto another, folowe me. And the same sayde: Lorde, suffer me first to go and burie my father. 60 Iesus sayde vnto hym, Let the dead burie their dead: but go thou & preache the kyngdome of God. 61 And another sayde: Lorde I wyll folowe thee, but let me first go byd them farewell, which are at home at my house. 62 Iesus sayde vnto hym: No man that putteth his hande to the plowe, and loketh backe, is apt to the kyngdome of God.
