CAP. IX.

1   And aftir sixe dayes Jhesus took Petre, and James, and John, and ledith hem by hem selue aloone in to an hi&yogh; hil; and he is transfigurid byfore hem. 2   And his clothis ben maad schynynge and white ful moche as snow, and which maner clothis a fullere, `or walkere of cloth, may not make white on erthe. 3   And Helye with Moyses apperide to hem, and thei weren spekynge with Jhesu. 4   And Petre answeringe seith to Jhesu, Maistir, it is good vs for to be here; make we here thre tabernaclis, oon to thee, oon to Moyses, and oon to Helye. 5   Sothli he wiste not what he schulde seie; forsothe thei weren agast by drede. 6   And `ther is maad a cloude schadewinge hem; and a voys cam of the cloude, seyinge, This is my mooste deereworthe sone, heere &yogh;e him. 7   And anon thei biholdinge aboute, sy&yogh;e no more any man, no but Jhesus oonly with hem. 8   And hem comynge down fro the hil, he comaundide hem, that thei schulde not telle to any man tho thingis that thei hadde seyn, no but whanne mannis sone hath risun fro deede spiritis. 9   And thei heelden the word at hem silf, sekynge what schulde be, whanne he hath risun fro deede. 10   And thei axiden him, seyinge, What

-- --

therfore seyn Pharisees and scribis, for it bihoueth Helye for to come first. 11   The which answeringe seith to hem, Whanne Helye schal come first, he schal restore alle thingis; and hou it is writun `in to mannis sone, that he suffre many thingis, and be despisid. 12   But I seie to &yogh;ou, for and Helye is comun, and thei diden to him what euere thingis thei wolden, as it is writun of him. 13   And he comynge to his disciplis, sy&yogh; a greet cumpany aboute hem, and scribis axynge with hem. 14   And anon al the cumpanye seynge Jhesu, was astoneyed, and thei dreden; and thei rennynge to, greeten him. 15   And he axide hem, What seken &yogh;e among &yogh;ou? 16   And oon of the cumpany answeringe seide, Maistir, I haue brou&yogh;t to thee my sone hauynge `an vnclene spirit; 17   the which wher euere he `schal take hym, hirtith him, and he frothith, `or vometh, and betith to gidere with teeth, and wexith drye. And I seide to thi disciplis, that thei schulden caste hym out, and thei my&yogh;ten not. 18   The which answeringe to hem seide, A! thou schrewid generacioun `and out of bileue, hou longe schal I be at &yogh;ou, hou longe schal I suffre &yogh;ou? `Brynge &yogh;e hym to me. 19   And thei brou&yogh;ten hym to. And whanne he hadde seyn him, anon the spirit troublide him; and he cast doun in to the erthe, was walewid frothinge. 20   And he axide his fadir, Hou moche of tyme `it is, sithen this thing fel to him? 21   And he seith, Fro childhod; and ofte he hath sent him and in to fier and `in to watir, that he schulde leese him; but and if thou maist ony thing, help vs, hauynge mercy on vs. 22   Sothli Jhesus seith to him, If thou maist bileue, alle

-- --

thingis ben possible to a man bileuynge. 23   And anon the `fadir of the child criynge with teeris seide, Lord, I bileue; help thou myn vnbileuefulnesse. 24   And whanne Jhesus hadde seyn the company `of peple rennynge to gidere, he manaside to the vnclene spirit, seyinge to him, Thou deef and doumb spirit, I comaund thee, go out fro him, and entre not more in to him. 25   And he criynge, and moche to-breidynge him, wente out fro him; and he is maad as deed, so that manye seiden, that he was deed. 26   Forsoth Jhesus holdynge his hond, `lifte vp him; and he roos. 27   And whanne he hadde entrid in to an hous, his disciplis axiden him priuely, Whi my&yogh;ten not we caste hym out? 28   And he seyde to hem, This kynde `in no thing may go out, no but in preier and fastinge. 29   And thei gon fro thennis, wenten forth in to Galile; and he wolde no man wite. 30   He tau&yogh;te his disciplis, and seide to hem, For mannus sone schal be bitrayed in to the hondis of men, and thei schulen sle him, and he slayn, on the thridde day schal rise a&yogh;en. 31   And thei knewen not the word, and dredden for to axe him. 32   And thei camen to Cafarnaum. Which whenne `he was in the hous, axide hem, What tretiden &yogh;e in the weie? 33   And thei weren stille; sothli thei disputiden among hem in the weie, who of hem schulde be more. 34   And he sittinge clepide the twelue, and seith to hem, If any man wole be the first among &yogh;ou, he schal be the laste, and mynystre of alle. 35   And he takinge a childe, ordeynede him in the myddil of hem; whom whanne he hadde byclippid, 36   he seith to hem, Who euere `schal receyue oon of suche children in

-- --

my name, he receyueth me; and who euere receyueth me, he receyueth not me aloone, but him that sente me. 37   John answeride to him, seyinge, Maistir, we sy&yogh;en sum oon for to caste out fendis in thi name, the which sueth not vs, and we han forbedun him. 38   Sothli Jhesus seith `to him, Nyle &yogh;e forbede him; `ther is no man that doth vertu in my name, and may soone speke yuele of me. 39   Forsothe he that is not a&yogh;ens vs, is for vs. 40   Sothli who euere schal &yogh;yue drynke to &yogh;ou a cuppe of cold watir in my name, for &yogh;e ben of Crist, treuly I seie to &yogh;ou, he schal not leese his mede. 41   And who euere `schal sclaundre oon of thes litle bileuynge in me, it is good to him that a mylne stoon of assis were don aboute his necke, and were sent in to the see. 42   And if thin hond sclaundre thee, kitt it awey; it is good to thee `feble to entre in to lyf, than hauynge twey hondis go in to helle, in to fier `that neuere schal be quenchid, 43   where the worm of hem deieth not, and the fier is not quenchid. 44   And if thi foot sclaundre thee, kitt it of; it is good to thee `for to `entre crokid in to euerlasting lyf, than hauynge twey feet to be sent in to helle of fier, `that neuer schal be quenchid, where the worm of hem deieth not, 45    and the fier is not quenchid. 46   That if thin y&yogh;e sclaundre thee, cast it out; it is good to thee `for to entre gogil y&yogh;ed in to rewme of God, than hauynge twey y&yogh;en for to be sent in to helle of fier, 47   where the worm of hem deieth not, and the fier is not quenchid. 48   Forsoth euery man schal be saltid, `or maad sauori, with fier, and euery slayn sacrifice schal be sauorid

-- --

with salt. 49   Salt is good thing; that if salt be vnsauori, in what thing schulen &yogh;e make it sauori? Haue &yogh;e salt in &yogh;ou, and haue &yogh;e pees among &yogh;ou.
