And Jhesus seide to hem, Yhe; whether ye han neuer redde, That of the mouth of yonge children, and of soukynge childryn, thou hast maad perfit heriyng?Verse 17And whanne he hadde left hem, he wente forth out of the citee, in to Bethanye; and there he dwelte, and tauyte hem of the kyngdom of God.Verse 18But on the morowe, he, turnynge ayen in to the citee, hungride.Verse 19And he saye a fige tree bisidis the weie, and cam to it, and foond no thing ther ynne but leeues oneli. And he seide to it, Neuer fruyt come forth of thee, in to with outen eende, And anoon the fige tre was dried vp.Verse 20And disciplis `sawen, and wondriden, seiynge, Hou anoon it driede.Verse 21And Jhesus answeride, and seide to hem, Treuli Y seie to you, if ye haue feith, and douten not, not oonli ye schulen do of the fige tree, but also if ye seyn to this hil, Take, and caste thee in to the see, it schal be don so.Verse 22And alle thingis what euere ye bileuynge schulen axe in preyer, ye schulen take.Verse 23And whanne he cam in to the temple, the princis of prestis and elder men of the puple camen to hym that tauyte, and seiden, In what power doist thou these thingis? and who yaf thee this power?Verse 24Jhesus answeride, and seide to hem, And Y schal axe you o word, the which if ye tellen me, Y schal seie to you, in what power Y do these thingis.Verse 25Of whennys was the baptym of Joon; of heuene, or of men? And thei thouyten with ynne hem silf,Verse 26seiynge, If we seien of heuene, he schal seie to vs, Whi thanne bileuen ye not to hym? If we seien of men, we dreden the puple, for alle hadden Joon as a prophete.Verse 27And thei answeriden to Jhesu, and seiden, We witen not. And he seide to hem, Nether Y seie to you, in what power Y do these thingis.Verse 28But what semeth to you? A man hadde twey sones; and he cam to the firste, and seide, Sone, go worche this dai in my vyneyerd.Verse 29And he answeride, and seide, Y nyle; but afterward he forthouyte, and wente forth.Verse 30But he cam to `the tother, and seide on lijk maner. And he answeride, and seide, Lord, Y go; and he wente not.Verse 31Who of the tweyne dide the fadris wille? Thei seien to hym, The firste. Jhesus seith to hem, Treuli Y seie to you, for pupplicans and hooris schulen go bifor you `in to the kyngdom of God.Verse 32For Joon cam to you in the weie of riytwisnesse, and ye bileueden not to him; but pupplicans and hooris bileueden to hym. But ye sayn, and hadden no forthenkyng aftir, that ye bileueden to hym.Verse 33Here ye another parable. There was an hosebonde man, that plauntide a vynyerd, and heggide it aboute, and dalfe a presour ther ynne, and bildide a tour, and hiride it to erthe tilieris, and wente fer in pilgrimage.Verse 34But whanne the tyme of fruytis neiyede, he sente his seruauntis to the erthe tilieris, to take fruytis of it.Verse 35And the erthetilieris token his seruauntis, and beeten `the toon, thei slowen another, and thei stonyden another.Verse 36Eftsoone he sente othere seruauntis, mo than the firste, and in lijk maner thei diden to hem.Verse 37And at the laste he sente his sone to hem, and seide, Thei schulen drede my sone.Verse 38But the erthe tilieris, seynge the sone, seiden with ynne hem silf, This is the eire; come ye, sle we hym, and we schulen haue his eritage.Verse 39And thei token, and castiden hym out of the vynyerd, and slowen hym.Verse 40Therfor whanne the lord of the vyneyerd schal come, what schal he do to thilke erthe tilieris?Verse 41Thei seien to hym, He schal leese yuele the yuele men, and he schal sette to hire his vyneyerd to othere erthetilieris, whyche schulen yelde to hym fruyt in her tymes.Verse 42Jhesus seith to hem, Redden ye neuer in scripturis, The stoon which bilderis repreueden, this is maad in to the heed of the corner? Of the Lord this thing is don, and it is merueilous bifor oure iyen.Verse 43Therfor Y seie to you, that the kyngdom of God schal be takun fro you, and shal be youun to a folc doynge fruytis of it.Verse 44And he that schal falle on this stoon, schal be brokun; but on whom it schal falle, it schal al tobrise hym.Verse 45And whanne the princes of prestis and Farisees hadden herd hise parablis, thei knewen that he seide of hem.Verse 46And thei souyten to holde hym, but thei dredden the puple, for thei hadden hym as a prophete.
