A    ^noteIesus full of the holy goost, came agayne from Iordane, and was led of þe; sprete into wyldernes, ∧ fourty dayes l&obar;ge was he t&ebar;pted of þe; deuell. ^noteAnd in those dayes ate he nothinge. And whan they were ended, he hongred afterwarde. And the deuell sayde vnto him: Yf thou be þe; sonne of God, c&obar;maunde this stone, þt; it be bred. And Iesus answered ∧ sayde vnto h&ibar;: It is wrytten: ^note Man shal not lyue by bred onely, but by euery worde of God. And þe; deuell toke him vp into an hye mo&ubar;tayne, and shewed him all the kyngdomes of þe; whole worlde in þe; twinckelinge of an eye, ∧ sayde vnto him: All this power wil I geue vnto the, and the glory therof, for it is geu&ebar; ouer vnto me, and I geue it, to whom I wil. Yf thou now wilt worshippe me, they shal all be thine. Iesus answered him, and sayde: Auoyde fro me thou Satan. It is wrytten: Thou shalt worshippe the LORDE thy God, and him onely shalt thou serue. ^note

B   And he caried him to Ierusalem, and set him vpon a pynnacle of the temple, and sayde vnto him: Yf thou be þe; sonne of God, cast thy self downe from hence. For it is wrytt&ebar;: ^note He shal geue his angels charge ouer the, to kepe the, and with their handes they shal holde the vp, that thou dashe not thy fote agaynst a stone. And Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him: ^note It is sayde: Thou shalt not tempte the LORDE thy God. And whan þe; deuell had ended all the temptacions, he departed from him for a season.

^noteAnd Iesus came agayne in the power of the sprete in to Galile. And the fame of him was noysed thorow out all þe; region rounde aboute. And he taught in their synagoges, and was commended of euery man.

^noteAnd he came vnto Nazareth where he was noursed, and as his custome was, he w&ebar;te in to the synagoge vpon þe; Sabbath, and stode vp for to rede. Then was there delyuered him the ^note boke of þe; prophet Esay. And whan he had turned ouer the boke, he founde the place where it is wrytten: The sprete of the LORDE is with me, ^note because he hath anoynted me: to preach the Gospell vnto þe; poore hath he sent me: to heale the broken harted: to preach delyuera&ubar;ce to the captyue, and sight to the blynde: and frely to set at liberty them that are brused: and to preach the acceptable yeare of the LORDE.

C   And whan he had closed the boke, he gaue it agayne to þe; mynister, ∧ sat him downe. And the eyes of all that were in the synagoge, were fastened on him. And he beg&abar;ne to saye vnto them: This daye is this scripture fulfilled in youre eares. ^noteAnd they all gaue him wytnesse, and w&obar;dred at the gracious wordes, which proceaded out of his mouth, and they saide: Is not this Iosephs sonne? ^note

And he sayde vnto them: Doutles ye wyl saye vnto me this prouerbe: Phisician, heale thyself. For how greate thinges haue we herde done at Caperna&ubar;? Do the same here also in thine owne countre. But he saide: ^note Verely I saye vnto you: There is no prophet accepted in his owne countre. Neuertheles of a trueth I saye vnto you: ^note There were many wedowes in Israel in þe; tyme of Elias, wh&abar; the heau&ebar; was shut thre yeares and sixe monethes, and whan there was a greate derth in all the lande: ∧ to none of th&ebar; was Elias sent, but onely vnto Sarepta of the Sydonyans to a wedowe. ^noteAnd many lepers were there in Israel in the tyme of Eliseus þe; prophet, and none of th&ebar; was clensed, saue onely Naaman of Syria.

D   And as many as were in the synagoge, wh&abar; they herde þt;, were fylled with wrath. And they rose vp, and thrust him out of the cite, and led him vp to the edge of the hyll whervp&obar; their cite was buylded, that they might cast him downe headlynge. But he wente his waye euen thorow the myddest of them, ^note and came to Capernaum a cite of Galile, and taught th&ebar; vp&obar; the Sabbathes. And they wondred at his doctryne, ^note for his preachinge was with power.

And in the Synagoge there was a man possessed with a foule deuell, ∧ he cryed loude, and sayde: Let me alone, what haue we to do &wt; the thou Iesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroye vs? ^noteI knowe þe; who thou art, euen the Holy of God. And Iesus rebuked him and sayde: holde thy t&ubar;ge, and departe out of him. And the deuell threw h&ibar; in the myddest amonge them, and departed from him, and dyd him no harme. And there came a feare ouer th&ebar; all, and they spake amonge themselues, and sayde: What maner of thinge is this? He commaundeth the foule spretes with auctorite and power, and they departe out. And þe; fame of him was noysed thorow out all the places of þe; countre rounde aboute.

^noteAnd he rose vp out of the synagoge, and came in to Symons house. And Sym&obar;s mother

in lawe was tak&ebar; with a greate feuer, ∧ they prayde him for her. And he w&ebar;te vnto her, ∧ c&obar;maunded the feuer. And it left her, ∧ &ibar;mediatly she rose vp, ∧ mynistred vnto th&ebar;.

E    ^noteAnd whan the Sonne was gone downe all they that had sicke of dyuerse diseases, brought th&ebar; vnto him. And he layed his h&abar;des vpon euery one of th&ebar;, ∧ made th&ebar; whole. The deuels also departed out of many, cri&ebar;ge and sayenge: ^note Thou art Christ the sonne of God. And he rebuked th&ebar;, ∧ suffred them not to speake: for they knewe that he was Christ. But wh&abar; it was daye, he w&ebar;te out in to a deserte place. And the people sought h&ibar;, and came vnto him, ∧ kepte him, þt; he shulde not departe fr&obar; th&ebar;. But he sayde vnto th&ebar;: I must preach the Gospell of þe; kyngdome of God to other cities also: for there to am I sent. And he preached in the synagoges of Galile.
