Chap. V.

 

Having taught the People out of Peters ship, 4. he sheweth in a miraculous taking of fishes, how he wil make him the fisher of men. 13. He cureth a leper by touching him, and sendeth him to the Priest in witnesse that he is not against Moyses. 15. The people flocking unto him, he retireth into the wildernesse. 17.

And they came and filled both ships, so that they did sinke. ⁸Which when Simon Peter did see, he fel downe at Jesus knees, saying: Goe forth from me, because I am a sinful man, O Lord. ⁹For he was wholy astonished and al that were with him, at the draught of fishes which they had taken. ¹⁰In like maner also James and John the sonnes of Zebedee, who were Simons fellowes. And Jesus said to Simon: Feare not; from this time now, ″ thou shalt be taking men. ¹¹And having brought their ships to land, leaving al things they folowed him. ✠
