Rh taketh him, and he sodenly crieth, and he dasheth him, and teareth him that he fometh, and with much adoe departeth renting him. And I desired thy Disciples to cast him out, and they could not. And answering said: O faithles and perverse generation, how long shal I be with you and suffer you? bring hither thy sonne. And when he came to him, the Divel dashed, and tore him. And rebuked the uncleane spirit, and healed the boy, and rendred him to his father. And al were astonished at the might of God; and al merveling at al things that he did, he said to his Disciples: Lay you in your hartes these wordes, for it shal come to passe that the Sonne of man shal be delivered into the hands of men. But they did not know this word, and it was covered before them, that they perceived it not. And they were afraid to aske him of this word.

* And there entred a cogitation into them, which of them should be greater. But seeing the cogitations of their hart, tooke a child and set him by him, and said to them, whosoever receiveth this childe in my name, receiveth me, and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. For he that is the lesser among you al, he is the greater.

And he sent messengers before his face; and going they entred into a citie of the Samaritans to prepare for him. And they received him not, because his ″ face was to goe to Hierusalem. And when his Disciples James and John had seen it, they said: Lord wilt thou we say that fire come downe from Heaven and consume ‘them’? And turning, ″ he rebuked them, saying: You know not of what spirit you are. The Sonne of man came not to destroy soules, but to save. And they went into another towne.

And it came to passe as they walked in the way, a certaine man said to him: * I wil follow thee whithersoever thou goest. said to him: The foxes have holes, and the foules of the aire nestes; but the Sonne of man hath not where to repose his head. But he said to another: Follow me. And he said: Lord, permit me first to goe, and to burie my father. And said to him: Let the dead burie their dead; but goe thou, set forth the Kingdom of God. And another said: I wil follow thee Lord, but permit me first to take my leave of them that are at home. said to him: ″ No man putting his hand to the plough, and looking backe, is apt for the Kingdom of God.
