1And the Farisees and summe of the scribis camen fro Jerusalem togidir to hym.

3The Farisees and alle the Jewis eten not, but thei waisschen ofte her hoondis, holdynge the tradiciouns of eldere men.

5And Farisees and scribis axiden hym, and seiden, Whi gon not thi disciplis aftir the tradicioun of eldere men, but with vnwasschen hondis thei eten breed?

stylus

6And he answeride, and seide to hem, Ysaie prophesiede wel of you, ypocritis, as it is writun, This puple worschipith me with lippis, but her herte is fer fro me;

stylus

7and in veyn thei worschipen me, techinge the doctrines and the heestis of men.

8For ye leeuen the maundement of God, and holden the tradiciouns of men, wasschyngis of watir vessels, and of cuppis; and many othir thingis lijk to these ye doon.

stylus

9And he seide to hem, Wel ye han maad the maundement of God voide, `to kepe youre tradicioun.

stylus

18And he seide to hem, Ye ben vnwise also. Vndurstonde ye not, that al thing without forth that entreth in to a man, may not defoule hym?

stylus

19for it hath not entrid in to his herte, but in to the wombe, and bynethe it goith out, purgynge alle metis.

stylus

20But he seide, The thingis that gon out of a man, tho defoulen a man.

21For fro with ynne, of the herte of men comen forth yuel thouytis, auowtries,

stylus

22fornycaciouns, mansleyingis, theftis, auaricis, wickidnessis, gile, vnchastite, yuel iye, blasfemyes, pride, foli.

27And he seide to hir, Suffre thou, that the children be fulfillid first; for it is not good to take the breed of children, and yyue to houndis.

stylus

28And sche answeride, and seide to him, Yis, Lord; for litil whelpis eten vndur the bord, of the crummes of children.

stylus

29And Jhesus seide to hir, Go thou, for this word the feend wente out of thi douytir.

stylus

30And whanne sche was gon in to hir hous home, sche foonde the damysel ligynge on the bed, and the deuel gon out fro hir.

stylus

31And eftsoones Jhesus yede out fro the coostis of Tire, and cam thorou Sidon to the see of Galilee, bitwixe the myddil of the coostis of Decapoleos.

32And thei bryngen to hym a man deef and doumbe, and preieden hym to leye his hoond on hym.

stylus

33And he took hym asidis fro the puple, and puttide hise fyngris in to hise eris; and he spetide, and touchide his tonge.
