Chap. XII

 

The blindnes of the Pharisees about the Sabboth he reproveth by Scriptures, by reason, and by a miracle, 14. and his death being therfore sought by them, he meekely goeth out of the way, according as Esay had Prophecied of him. 22. His casting out of Divels also he defendeth against them, 31. and setteth forth the danger they stand in for their horrible blasphemie. 38. And because they aske yet for a signe, he sheweth how worthily they shal be damned, 43. foretelling how the Divel shal possesse their Nation, 66. and testifying that although he be of their bloud, yet not they for this, but such as keepe his commandements, are deare unto him.

 

AT that time Mr. 2, 23.
Lu. 6, 1.* Jesus went through the corne on the Sabboth: and his Disciples being hungrie, began to pluck the eares, and to eate. ²And the Pharisees seeing them, said to him: Loe, thy Disciples doe that which is not lawful for them to doe on the Sabboth-dayes. ³But he said to them: Have you not read what 1. Rg. 21, 4.* David did when he was an hungred, and they that were with him: ⁴how he entred into the house of God, and did eate the loaves of proposition, which it was not lawful for him to eate, nor for them that were with him, Lev. 24, 9.* but for Priestes only? ⁵Or have ye not read in the Nu. 28, 9.* Law, that on Sabboth-dayes the Priestes in the temple do breake the Sabboth, & are without blame? ⁶but I tel you that there is here a greater then the temple. ⁷And if you did know what it is, Ose. 6, 6.I wil mercie, and not ^[1] Sacrifice: you would never have condemned the innocentes. ⁸For the Sonne of man is Lord of the Sabboth also.

⁹And when he had passed from thence, he came into their Synagogue. ¹⁰And Mr. 3, 1.
Lu. 6, 6.* behold there was a man which had a withered hand, and they asked him saying: Whether is it lawful to cure on the Sabboths? that they might accuse him. ¹¹But he said to them: What man shal there be of you, that shal have one sheep: and if the same fal into a ditch on the Sabboths, wil he not take hold and lift it up? ¹²How much better is a man more then a sheep? Therfore it is lawful on the Sabboths to doe a good deed. ¹³Then he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand, and he stretched it forth, and it was restored to health even as the other.

¹⁴And the Pharisees going forth made a consultation against him, how they might destroy him. ¹⁵But Jesus knowing it, retired from thence: and many folowed him, and he cured them al. ¹⁶and he charged them that they should not disclose him. ¹⁷That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esay the Prophet, saying: Esa. 42, 1.¹⁸Behold my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul hath wel liked. I wil put my spirit upon him, and judgement to the Gentiles shal he shew. ¹⁹He shal not contend nor crie out, neither shal any man heare in the streetes his voyce. ²⁰The reede bruised he shal not breake, & smoking flaxe he shal not extinguish: til he cast forth judgement unto victorie. ²¹And in his name the Gentiles shal hope.
