And thei seiden, Whether this is not the sone of Joseph? 23And he seide to hem, Sotheli ye schulen seie to me this liknesse, Leeche, heele thi silf. The Farisees seiden to Jhesu, Hou grete thingis han we herd don in Cafarnaum, do thou also here in thi cuntre. 24And he seide, Treuli Y seie to you, that no profete is resseyued in his owne cuntre. 25In treuthe Y seie to you, that many widowis weren in the daies of Elie, the prophete, in Israel, whanne heuene was closid thre yeer and sixe monethis, whanne greet hungur was maad in al the erthe; 26and to noon of hem was Elye sent, but in to Sarepta of Sydon, to a widowe. 27And many meseles weren in Israel, vndur Helisee, the prophete, and noon of hem was clensid, but Naaman of Sirye. 28And alle in the synagoge herynge these thingis, weren fillid with wraththe. 29And thei risen vp, and drouen hym out with out the citee, and ledden hym to the cop of the hil on which her citee was bildid, to caste hym doun. 30But Jhesus passide, and wente thorou the myddil of hem; and cam doun in to Cafarnaum, 31a citee of Galilee, and there he tauyte hem in sabotis. 32And thei weren astonyed in his techyng, for his word was in power. 33And in her synagoge was a man hauynge an vnclene feend, and he criede with greet vois, 34and seide, Suffre, what to vs and to thee, Jhesu of Nazareth? art thou comun to leese vs? Y knowe, that thou art the hooli of God. 35And Jhesus blamede hym, and seide, Wexe doumbe, and go out fro hym. And whanne the feend hadde cast hym forth in to the myddil, he wente a wei fro hym, and he noyede hym no thing. 36And drede was maad in alle men, and thei spaken togider, and seiden, What is this word, for in power and vertu he comaundith to vnclene spiritis, and thei gon out? 37And the fame was pupplischid of him in to ech place of the cuntre. 38And Jhesus roos vp fro the synagoge, and entride in to the hous of Symount; and the modir of Symountis wijf was holdun with grete fyueris, and thei preieden hym for hir. 39And Jhesus stood ouer hir, and comaundide to the feuer, and it lefte hir; and anoon sche roos vp, and seruede hem. 40And whanne the sunne wente doun, alle that hadden sijke men with dyuerse langours, ledden hem to hym; and he sette his hoondis on ech bi `hem silf, and heelide hem. 41And feendis wenten out fro manye, and crieden, and seiden, For thou art the sone of God.
