2 WYC and seide, There was a iuge in a citee, that dredde not God, nether schamede of men. BSB BSB: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3 WYC And a widowe was in that citee, and sche cam to hym, and seide, Venge me of myn aduersarie; BSB BSB: And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4 WYC and he wolde not longe tyme. But aftir these thingis he seide with ynne hym silf, Thouy Y drede not God, and schame not of man, BSB BSB: For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5 WYC netheles for this widewe is heuy to me, Y schal venge hir; lest at the laste sche comynge condempne me. BSB BSB: yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Otherwise, she will wear me out with her perpetual requests.’”
6 WYC And the Lord seide, Here ye, what the domesman of wickidnesse seith; BSB BSB: And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7 WYC and whether God schal not do veniaunce of hise chosun, criynge to hym dai and nyyt, and schal haue pacience in hem? BSB BSB: Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay in helping them?
8 WYC Sotheli Y seie to you, for soone he schal do veniaunce of hem. Netheles gessist thou, that mannus sone comynge schal fynde feith in erthe? BSB BSB: I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”
10 WYC seiynge, Twei men wenten vp in to the temple to preye; the toon a Farisee, and the tother a pupplican. BSB BSB: “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 WYC And the Farisee stood, and preiede bi hym silf these thingis, and seide, God, Y do thankyngis to thee, for Y am not as other men, raueinouris, vniust, auoutreris, as also this pupplican; BSB BSB: The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
12 WYC Y faste twies in the woke, Y yyue tithis of alle thingis that Y haue in possessioun. BSB BSB: I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13 WYC And the pupplican stood afer, and wolde nether reise hise iyen to heuene, but smoot his brest, and seide, God be merciful to me, synnere. BSB BSB: But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’
14 WYC Treuli Y seie to you, this yede doun in to his hous, and was iustified fro the other. For ech that enhaunsith hym, schal be maad low, and he that mekith hym, schal be enhaunsid. BSB BSB: I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 WYC And thei brouyten to hym yonge children, that he schulde touche hem; and whanne the disciplis saien this thing, thei blameden hem. BSB BSB: Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who brought them.
16 WYC But Jhesus clepide togider hem, and seide, Suffre ye children to come to me, and nyle ye forbede hem, for of siche is the kyngdom of heuenes. BSB BSB: But Jesus called the children to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
17 WYC Treuli Y seie to you, who euer schal not take the kyngdom of God as a child, he schal not entre in to it. BSB BSB: Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18 WYC And a prince axide hym, and seide, Goode maister, in what thing doynge schal Y weilde euerlastynge lijf? BSB BSB: Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19 WYC And Jhesus seide to hym, What seist thou me good? No man is good, but God aloone. BSB BSB: “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
20 WYC Thou knowist the comaundementis, Thou schalt not sle, Thou schalt not do letcherie, Thou schalt not do theft, Thou schalt not seie fals witnessyng, Worschipe thi fadir and thi modir. BSB BSB: You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”
21 WYC Which seide, Y haue kept alle these thingis fro my yongthe. BSB BSB: “All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
22 WYC And whanne this thing was herd, Jhesus seide to hym, Yit o thing failith `to thee; sille thou alle thingis that thou hast, and yyue to pore men, and thou schalt haue tresour in heuene; and come, and sue thou me. BSB BSB: On hearing this, Jesus told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
23 WYC Whanne these thingis weren herd, he was soreful, for he was ful ryche. BSB BSB: But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24 WYC And Jhesus seynge hym maad sorie, seide, How hard thei that han money schulen entre in to the kyngdom of God; BSB BSB: Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25 WYC for it is liyter a camel to passe thorou a nedlis iye, than a riche man to entre in to the kyngdom of God. BSB BSB: Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 WYC And thei that herden these thingis seiden, Who may be maad saaf? BSB BSB: Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27 WYC And he seide to hem, Tho thingis that ben impossible anentis men, ben possible anentis God. BSB BSB: But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
28 WYC But Petir seide, Lo! we han left alle thingis, and han sued thee. BSB BSB: “Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
29 WYC And he seide to hym, Treuli Y seie to you, there is no man that schal forsake hous, or fadir, modir, or britheren, or wijf, or children, or feeldis, for the rewme of God, BSB BSB: “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God 30 WYC and schal not resseyue many mo thingis in this tyme, and in the world to comynge euerlastynge lijf. BSB BSB: will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”
31 WYC And Jhesus took hise twelue disciplis, and seide to hem, Lo! we gon vp to Jerusalem, and alle thingis schulen be endid, that ben writun bi the prophetis of mannus sone. BSB BSB: Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
32 WYC For he schal be bitraied to hethen men, and he schal be scorned, and scourgid, and bispat; BSB BSB: He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33 WYC and aftir that thei han scourgid, thei schulen sle hym, and the thridde dai he schal rise ayen. BSB BSB: They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34 WYC And thei vndurstoden no thing of these; and this word was hid fro hem, and thei vndurstoden not tho thingis that weren seid. BSB BSB: But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.
35 WYC But it was don, whanne Jhesus cam nyy to Jerico, a blynde man sat bisidis the weie, and beggide. BSB BSB: As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
36 WYC And whanne he herde the puple passynge, he axide, what this was. BSB BSB: When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
37 WYC And thei seiden to hym, that Jhesus of Nazareth passide. BSB BSB: “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
38 WYC And he criede, and seide, Jhesu, the sone of Dauyd, haue mercy on me. BSB BSB: So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 WYC And thei that wenten bifor blamyden hym, that he schulde be stille; but he criede myche the more, Thou sone of Dauid, haue mercy on me. BSB BSB: Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 WYC And Jhesus stood, and comaundide hym to be brouyt forth to hym. And whanne he cam nyy, he axide hym, BSB BSB: Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had come near, Jesus asked him,
41 WYC and seide, What wolt thou that Y schal do to thee? And he seide, Lord, that Y se. BSB BSB: “What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
42 WYC And Jhesus seide to hym, Biholde; thi feith hath maad thee saaf. BSB BSB: “Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”
43 WYC And anoon he say, and suede hym, and magnyfiede God. And al the puple, as it say, yaf heriyng to God. BSB BSB: Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
