Lord was to heale them. 18And behold men carying in a bed a man that had the palsey: and they sought to bring him in, and to lay him before him. 19And not finding on which side they might bring him in for the multitude, they ″ went up upon the roofe, and through the tiles let him downe with the bed into the middes, before Jesus. 20 ″ Whose faith when he saw, he said: Man, thy sinnes are forgiven thee. 21And the Scribes and Pharisees began to thinke, saying: Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sinnes, but only God? 22And when Jesus knew their cogitations, answering he said to them: What doe you thinke in your hartes? 23Which is easier to say, Thy sinnes are forgiven thee: or to say, Arise, and walke? 24But that you may know that ″ the Sonne of man hath power in earth to forgive sinnes (he said to the sick of the palsey) I say to thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and goe into thy house. 25And forthwith rising up before them, he tooke that wherein he lay; and he went into his house, magnifying God. 26And al were astonished: and they magnified God. And they were replenished with feare, saying: That we have seen marvelous things to day. ✠

Mr. 2, 14. And after these things he went forth, and saw a Publican called Levi, sitting at the Custome-house, and he said to him: Follow me. 28And ″ leaving al things, he rose and followed him. 29And Levi made him a great feast in his house; and there was a great multitude of Publicans, and of others that were sitting at the table with them. 30And their Pharisees and Scribes murmured, saying to his disciples: Why doe you eate and drinke with Publicans and sinners? 31And Jesus answering said to them: They that are whole, need not the Physicion: but they that are il at ease. 32 [1] I came not to call the just, but sinners to pennance. ✠

Lu. 11, 1. Why doe the Disciples of John [2] fast often, and make obsecrations, and of the Pharisees in like manner; but thine doe eate and drinke? 34To whom he said: Why, can you make the children of the bridegrome fast whiles the bridegrome is with them? 35But the dayes wil come; and when the bridegrome shal be taken away from them, then they shal fast in those dayes. 36And he said a similitude also unto them: That no man putteth a peece from a new garment into an old garment; otherwise both he breaketh the new, and the peece from the new agreeth not with the old. 37And no bodie putteth new wine into old bottels: otherwise the new wine wil breake the bottels, and it self wil be shed, and the bottels wil be lost. 38But new wine is to be put into new bottels: and both are preserved together. 39And no man drinking old, wil new by and by. For he saith, The old is better.
