8 Forsothe Jhesus seide to

A legioun is name to me; for we ben

10 And he preide hym myche, that

12 And the spiritis preieden Jhesu,
seyinge, Sende vs into hoggis, that we
entre into hem.
13 And anoon Jhesus

18 And when he stiede in to a

19 Sothly Jhesus resceyued hym
nat, but seith to hym, Go thou in to thin
hous to thine, and telle to hem, hou

and hadde mercy of thee.
20 And he wente

22 And oon of the princis

23 fel doun at his feet, and
preiede hym myche, seyinge, For whi
my dou&yogh;ter is `in the laste thingis; come

saaf, and lyue.
24 And he wente forth with

28 Sothly she seide, For if I shal touche or

29 And anoon the
welle of blood is dried vp, and she

wound, `or sikenesse.
30 And anoon Jhesus

31 And his disciplis seiden to hym,
Thou seest the cumpenye pressinge thee,
and seist thou, Who touchide me?
32 And

33 Forsothe the

36 Forsothe the word herd

of the synagoge, Nyle thou drede, oonly
byleue thou.
37 And he resceyuede not
ony man to sue him, no but Petre, and

38 And thei camen in to the hous of the
