NEXT SUB-SECTION: The Good News of Yahooshua the Anointed of Yah {Jesus Christ} as reported by Yahoochanan {John} >>>

Book 1: The Good News According to Luke

Commentary: It is widely believed that Luke was a Greek Physician who encountered Shaul {Paul} in Greece and was strongly converted such that thereafter he journeyed with Shaul and recorded his exploits as presented in the book of Acts.  As a consequence all of what is recorded in the book of Luke regarding the time of Yahooshua on Earth, was based on second hand accounts that Luke acquired during his time with Shaul.  As a consequence Yah says that some of what is contained in Luke and the early part of Acts is “folklore” and not entirely reliable.  The genealogy of Yahooshua in Luke and the account of the death of Yahoowdah from Qerioth in Acts fall into this category and are incorrect.  It is probable that the book of Luke was originally recorded in Greek.   Where the book of Luke disagrees with any of the other three Good News books it is generally the case that these other books are more likely to be correct.   Please read the Introduction and the book of MattihYahoo first as most of the changes and commentary in that book apply to Luke as well.

 

 

 

 

Chapter 1

 

FORASMUCH as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,

2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order[1], most excellent Theophilus,

4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.

5 THERE was in the days of Herodes, the king of Yahooḏah, a certain priest named ZeḵarYah, of the course of AbiYah[2]: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisheva[3].

6 And they were both righteous before Yah, walking in all the Commandments and ordinances of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, blameless.

7 And they had no child, because that Elisheva was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.

8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before Yah in the order of his course,

9 According to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing.

10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.

11 And there appeared unto him an messenger of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

12 And when ZeḵarYah saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

13 But the messenger said unto him, Fear not, ZeḵarYah: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisheva shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Yahoochanan[4].

14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.

15 For he shall be great in the sight of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink[5]; and he shall be filled with the Set-Apart Spirit, even from his mother’s womb[6].

16 And many of the children of Yisra’El shall he turn to Yah the Eternally Self-Existing their Mighty One.

17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of EliYahoo, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for Yah the Eternally Self-Existing.

18 And ZeḵarYah said unto the messenger, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.

19 And the messenger answering said unto him, I am Gaḇri’ěl[7], that stand in the presence of Yah; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.

20 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not[8] my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.

21 And the people waited for ZeḵarYah, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.

22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.

23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.

24 And after those days his wife Elisheva conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,

25 Thus hath Yah the Eternally Self-Existing dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.

26 And in the sixth month[9] the messenger Gaḇri’ěl was sent from Yah unto a city of Galil, named Natsareth,

27 To a bethulah[10] espoused to a man whose name was Yoseph, of the house of Dawid; and the bethulah’s name was Miryam.

28 And the messenger came to her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, Yah the Eternally Self-Existing is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

30 And the messenger said unto her, Fear not, Miryam: for thou hast found favour with Yah.

31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb[11], and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name YAHOOSHUA.

32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and Yah the Eternally Self-Existing Mighty One shall give unto him the throne of his father Dawid:

33 And he shall reign over the house of Ya’aqob for ever; and of his Kingdom there shall be no end.

34 Then said Miryam unto the messenger, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

35 And the messenger answered and said unto her, The Set-Apart Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee[12]: therefore also that Set-Apart thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of Yah.

36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisheva, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month [13]with her, who was called barren.

37 For with Yah nothing shall be impossible.

38 And Miryam said, Behold the handmaid of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing; be it unto me according to thy word[14]. And the messenger departed from her.

39 And Miryam arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;

40 And entered into the house of ZeḵarYah, and saluted Elisheva.

41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisheva heard the salutation of Miryam, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisheva was filled with the Set-Apart Spirit:

42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Adonay should come to me?

44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from Yah the Eternally Self-Existing.

46 And Miryam said, My soul doth magnify Yah the Eternally Self-Existing,

47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in Yah my Saviour.

48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and Set-Apart[15] is his name.

50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.

51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.

53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.

54 He hath holpen his servant Yisra’El, in remembrance of his mercy;

55 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.

56 And Miryam abode with her about three months[16], and returned to her own house.

57 Now Elisheva’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.

58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how Yah the Eternally Self-Existing had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.

59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him ZeḵarYah, after the name of his father.

60 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called Yahoochanan .

61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.

62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.

63 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is Yahoochanan . And they marvelled all.

64 And his mouth was opened immediately[17], and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised Yah.

65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Yahooḏah.

66 And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing was with him.

67 And his father ZeḵarYah was filled with the Set-Apart Spirit, and prophesied, saying,

68 Blessed be Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, Mighty One of Yisra’El; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,

69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant Dawid;

70 As he spake by the mouth of his Set-Apart Spokesmen, which have been since the world began:

71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us[18];

72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his Set-Apart covenant;

73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,

74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,

75 In Set-Apartness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

76 And thou, child, shalt be called the Spokesman of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing to prepare his ways;

77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,

78 Through the tender mercy of our Mighty One; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,

79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Yisra’El.

Chapter 2

 

AND it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be registered[1].

2 (And this taxing was first made when Quirinius[2] was governor of Suria.)

3 And all went to be registered, every one into his own city.

4 And Yoseph also went up from Galil, out of the city of Natsareth, into Yahooḏah, unto the city of Dawid, which is called Beyth Leḥem; (because he was of the house and lineage of Dawid:)[3]

5 To be registered with Miryam his espoused wife, being great with child.

6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night[4].

9 And, lo, the messenger of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing stood before them, and the glory of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the messenger said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of Dawid a Saviour, which is The Anointed One of Yah, Adonay.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the messenger a multitude of the Heavenly host praising Yah, and saying,

14 Glory to Yah in the highest, and on Earth peace, good will toward men.

15 And it came to pass, as the Messengers were gone away from them into Heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Beyth Leḥem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which Yah the Eternally Self-Existing hath made known unto us.

16 And they came with haste, and found Miryam, and Yoseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

19 But Miryam kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising Yah for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called YAHOOSHUA, which was so named of the messenger before he was conceived in the womb.

22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moshe were accomplished, they brought him to Yerushalayim, to present him to Yah the Eternally Self-Existing;

23 (As it is written in the law of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called Set-Apart to Yah the Eternally Self-Existing;)[5]

24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.

25 And, behold, there was a man in Yerushalayim, whose name was Shim‛on[6]; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Yisra’El: and the Set-Apart Spirit was upon him[7].

26 And it was revealed unto him by the Set-Apart Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen Yah the Eternally Self-Existing’s Anointed One.

27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Yahooshua, to do for him after the custom of the law,

28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed Yah, and said,

29 Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:

30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

32 A light to enlighten the Ha-goyim, and the glory of thy people Yisra’El.

33 And Yoseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

34 And Shim‛on blessed them, and said unto Miryam his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Yisra’El; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;

35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

36 And there was one Ḥannah[8], a Spokeswoman, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her maidenhood;

37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served Yah with fastings and prayers night and day.

38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Yerushalayim.

39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, they returned into Galil, to their own city Natsareth.

40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of Yah was upon him.

41 Now his parents went to Yerushalayim every year at the feast of the Passover.

42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Yerushalayim after the custom of the feast.

43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Yahooshua tarried behind in Yerushalayim; and Yoseph and his mother knew not of it.

44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.

45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Yerushalayim, seeking him.

46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.[9]

48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?[10]

50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.

51 And he went down with them, and came to Natsareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

52 And Yahooshua increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with Yah and man.

Chapter 3

 

NOW in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Yahooḏah, and Herodes being district ruler of Galil, and his brother Philip district ruler of Yetur and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the district ruler of Abilene,

2 Ḥannahs and Qayapha[1] being the High Priests, the word of Yah came unto Yahoochanan the son of ZeḵarYah in the wilderness.

3 And he came into all the country about Yarden, preaching the immersion of repentance for the remission of sins;

4 As it is written in the book of the words of YeshaYahoo the Spokesman, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, make his paths straight.

5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;

6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of Yah.

7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be immersed of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That Yah is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.

12 Then came also publicans to be immersed, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?

13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.

14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.

15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of Yahoochanan, whether he were The Anointed One of Yah, or not;

16 Yahoochanan answered, saying unto them all, I indeed immerse you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall immerse you with the Set-Apart Spirit and with fire:

17 Whose winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his threshing-floor, and will gather the wheat into his storehouse; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.

19 But Herodes the district ruler, being reproved by him for Herodesias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herodes had done,

20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up Yahoochanan in prison.

21 Now when all the people were immersed, it came to pass, that Yahooshua also being immersed, and praying, the Heaven was opened,

22 And the Set-Apart Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him[2], and a voice came from Heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

23 And Yahooshua himself began to be about thirty years of age[3], being (as was supposed) the son of Yoseph, which was the son of Heli[4],

24 Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Yoseph,

25 Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge,

26 Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Yoseph, which was the son of Juda,

27 Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zerubbabel, which was the son of She’alti’El, which was the son of Neri,

28 Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er,

29 Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi,

30 Which was the son of Shim‛on, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Yoseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Elyaqim,

31 Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of Dawid,

32 Which was the son of Yishai, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Bo’az, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Nahshon,

33 Which was the son of Amminadab, which was the son of Ram, which was the son of Hetsron, which was the son of Perets, which was the son of Juda,

34 Which was the son of Ya’aqob, which was the son of Yitshaq, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor,

35 Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala,

36 Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noaḥ, which was the son of Lamech,

37 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan,

38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of Yah[5].

 

Chapter 4

 

AND Yahooshua being full of the Set-Apart Spirit returned from Yarden, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing[1]: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.

3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of Yah, command this stone that it be made bread.

4 And Yahooshua answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of Yah.

5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the Kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it[2].

7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

8 And Yahooshua answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship Yah the Eternally Self-Existing thy Mighty One, and him only shalt thou serve.[3]

9 And he brought him to Yerushalayim, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of Yah, cast thyself down from hence:

10 For it is written, He shall give his Messengers charge over thee, to keep thee:

11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

12 And Yahooshua answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt Yah the Eternally Self-Existing thy Mighty One.

13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season[4].

14 And Yahooshua returned in the power of the Spirit[5] into Galil: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

15 And he taught in their Synagogues (congregations), being glorified of all.

16 And he came to Natsareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read.

17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the Spokesman YeshaYahoo. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

18 The Spirit of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing is upon me[6], because he hath anointed me to preach the Good News to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing.

20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Yoseph’s son?

23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Kephar Naḥum, do also here in thy country.

24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No Spokesman is accepted in his own country.

25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Yisra’El in the days of EliYahoo, when the Heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

26 But unto none of them was EliYahoo sent, save unto Tsarephath, a city of Tsiḏon, unto a woman that was a widow.

27 And many lepers were in Yisra’El in the time of Elisha[7] the Spokesman; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Surian.

28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath[8],

29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.

30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way[9],

31 And came down to Kephar Naḥum, a city of Galil, and taught them on the Sabbath days.

32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.

33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,

34 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Yahooshua of Natsareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Set-Apart One of Yah.

35 And Yahooshua rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.

36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.

37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.

38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Shim‛on’s house. And Shim‛on’s wife’s mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.

39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art The Anointed One of Yah the Son of Yah. And he rebuking them permitted them not to speak: for they knew that he was The Anointed One of Yah.

42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a lonely place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.

43 And he said unto them, I must preach the Kingdom of Yah to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.

44 And he preached in the Synagogues (congregations) of Galil.

Chapter 5

 

AND it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of Yah, he stood by the lake of Gennesar,

2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Shim‛on’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Shim‛on, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a sewers.

5 And Shim‛on answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

6 And when they had this done, they caught a great multitude of fishes: and their net was braking.

7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

8 When Shim‛on Kepha saw it, he fell down at Yahooshua’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Adonay.

9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the catch of the fishes which they had taken:

10 And so was also Ya‛aqoḇ, and Yahoochanan, the sons of Zaḇdai, which were partners with Shim‛on. And Yahooshua said unto Shim‛on, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.

12 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Yahooshua fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Adonay, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

13 And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

14 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moshe commanded, for a testimony unto them.

15 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

16 And he withdrew himself into the lonely places, and prayed.

17 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galil, and Yahooḏah, and Yerushalayim: and the power of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing was present to heal them.

18 And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was paralysed: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.

19 And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his bed into the midst before Yahooshua.

20 And when he saw their emunah, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but Yah alone?[1]

22 But when Yahooshua perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?

23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?

24 But that ye may know that the Son of Adam hath power upon Earth to forgive sins, (he said to the one who was paralysed,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go into thine house.

25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying Yah.

26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified Yah, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.

27 And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi[2], sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.

28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.

29 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.

30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

31 And Yahooshua answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.

32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

33 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of Yahoochanan fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?

34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the friends of the bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

36 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.

37 And no man putteth new wine into old wineskins; else the new wine will burst the wineskins, and be spilled, and the wineskins shall perish.

38 But new wine must be put into new wineskins; and both are preserved.

39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.

Chapter 6

 

AND it came to pass on the second Sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.

2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath days?

3 And Yahooshua answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what Dawid did, when himself was hungry, and they which were with him;

4 How he went into the house of Yah, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?

5 And he said unto them, That the Son of Adam is Adonay also of the Sabbath.

6 And it came to pass also on another Sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.

7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the Sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.

8 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.

9 Then said Yahooshua unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the Sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?

10 And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

11 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Yahooshua[1].

12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to Yah[2].

13 And when it was day, he called unto him his followers: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named Emissaries;

14 Shim‛on, (whom he also named Kepha,) and Andri his brother, Ya‛aqoḇ and Yahoochanan, Philip and Bartholomi,

15 MattihYahoo and T’oma, Ya‛aqoḇ the son of Alphai, and Shim‛on called Zelotes,

16 And Yahoowdah the brother of Ya‛aqoḇ, and Yahoowdah from Qerioth, which also was the traitor.

17 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his followers, and a great multitude of people out of all Yahooḏah and Yerushalayim, and from the sea coast of Tsor and Tsiḏon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;

18 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.

19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went power out of him, and healed them all.

20 And he lifted up his eyes on his followers, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the Kingdom of Yah.

21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of Adam’s sake.

23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in Heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the Spokesmen.

24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false Spokesmen.

27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,

28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.

30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.

33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.

34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.[3]

37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

40 The follower is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.

41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye[4].

43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

46 And why call ye me, Adonay, Adonay, and do not the things which I say?

47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:

48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the Earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

 

Chapter 7

 

NOW when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Kephar Naḥum.

2 And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.

3 And when he heard of Yahooshua, he sent unto him the elders of the Yahoodi’iy, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.

4 And when they came to Yahooshua, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:

5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.

6 Then Yahooshua went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Adonay, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:

7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.[1]

9 When Yahooshua heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great emunah, no, not in Yisra’El.

10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.

11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Na‛im; and many of his followers went with him, and much people.

12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

13 And when Adonay saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise[2].

15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.

16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified Yah, saying, That a great Spokesman is risen up among us; and, That Yah hath visited his people.

17 And this news of him went forth throughout all Yahooḏah, and throughout all the region round about.

18 And the followers of Yahoochanan shewed him of all these things.

19 And Yahoochanan calling unto him two of his followers sent them to Yahooshua, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?[3]

20 When the men were come unto him, they said, Yahoochanan Immerser hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.

22 Then Yahooshua answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell Yahoochanan what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the Good News is preached[4].

23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not stumble in me.

24 And when the messengers of Yahoochanan were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning Yahoochanan, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.

26 But what went ye out for to see? A Spokesman? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a Spokesman.

27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater Spokesman than Yahoochanan the Immerser: but he that is least in the Kingdom of Yah is greater than he.

29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified Yah, being immersed with the immersion of Yahoochanan .

30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of Yah against themselves, being not immersed of him.[5]

31 And Adonay said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?

32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.

33 For Yahoochanan the Immerser came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

34 The Son of Adam is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.

36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.

37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Yahooshua sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a Spokesman, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

40 And Yahooshua answering said unto him, Shim‛on, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

43 Shim‛on answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Shim‛on, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.

47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

50 And he said to the woman, Thy emunah hath saved thee; go in peace[6].

Chapter 8

 

AND it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the Kingdom of Yah: and the twelve were with him,

2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Miryam called from Maḡdala, out of whom went seven devils,

3 And Yoḥanah[1] the wife of Kuza[2] Herodes’s steward, and Shoshannah[3], and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

4 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:

5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.

8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

9 And his followers asked him, saying, What might this parable be?

10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Yah: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of Yah.

12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil[4], and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life[5], and bring no fruit to perfection.

15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.

20 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of Yah, and do it.

22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his followers: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.

23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.

24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

25 And he said unto them, Where is your emunah? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.

26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galil.

27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had Demons long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.

28 When he saw Yahooshua, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Yahooshua, thou Son of Yah most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.

29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the Demons into the wilderness.)

30 And Yahooshua asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many Demons were entered into him.

31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the Bottomless Pit.

32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would permit them to enter into them. And he permitted them.

33 Then went the Demons out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were drowned.

34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.

35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Yahooshua, and found the man, out of whom the Demons were departed, sitting at the feet of Yahooshua, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

36 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.

37 Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.

38 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Yahooshua sent him away, saying,

39 Return to thine own house, and shew how great things Yah hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Yahooshua had done unto him.

40 And it came to pass, that, when Yahooshua was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.

41 And, behold, there came a man named Ya’ir, and he was a ruler of the Synagogue: and he fell down at Yahooshua’ feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:

42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.

43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,

44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

45 And Yahooshua said, Who touched me? When all denied, Kepha and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?[6]

46 And Yahooshua said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that power is gone out of me.

47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy emunah hath made thee whole; go in peace.

49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.

50 But when Yahooshua heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not[7]: believe only, and she shall be made whole.

51 And when he came into the house, he permitted no man to go in, save Kepha, and Ya‛aqoḇ, and Yahoochanan, and the father and the mother of the maiden.

52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.

53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.

55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.

56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.

 

Chapter 9

 

THEN he called his twelve followers together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

2 And he sent them to preach the Kingdom of Yah, and to heal the sick.

3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.

5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the Good News, and healing everywhere.

7 Now Herodes the district ruler heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that Yahoochanan was risen from the dead;

8 And of some, that EliYahoo had appeared; and of others, that one of the old Spokesmen was risen again[1].

9 And Herodes said, Yahoochanan have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

10 And the Emissaries, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a lonely place belonging to the city called Beyth Tsaiḏa.

11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the Kingdom of Yah[2], and healed them that had need of healing.

12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a lonely place.

13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.

14 For they were about five thousand men[3]. And he said to his followers, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.

16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to Heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the followers to set before the multitude.

17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his followers were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?

19 They answering said, Yahoochanan the Immerser; but some say, EliYahoo; and others say, that one of the old Spokesmen is risen again.

20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Kepha answering said, The Anointed One of Yah.

21 And he strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone;

22 Saying, The Son of Adam must permit many things, and be rejected of the elders and Chief Priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.

23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his Stake daily[4], and follow me.

24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of Adam be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the Set-Apart Messengers.

27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Kingdom of Yah.

28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Kepha and Yahoochanan and Ya‛aqoḇ, and went up into a mountain to pray.

29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.

30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moshe and EliYahoo:

31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his death which he should accomplish at Yerushalayim[5].

32 But Kepha and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Kepha said unto Yahooshua, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moshe, and one for EliYahoo: not knowing what he said.

34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

36 And when the voice was past, Yahooshua was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

37 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, much people met him.

38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.

39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it convulses him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.

40 And I besought thy followers to cast him out; and they could not.

41 And Yahooshua answering said, O emunahless[6] and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and permit you? Bring thy son hither.

42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and convulsed him. And Yahooshua rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of Yah. But while they wondered every one at all things which Yahooshua did, he said unto his followers,

44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of Adam shall be delivered into the hands of men.

45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.

46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

47 And Yahooshua, perceiving the thought of their heart[7], took a child, and set him by him,

48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

49 And Yahoochanan answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.

50 And Yahooshua said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Yerushalayim,

52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Yerushalayim.

54 And when his followers Ya‛aqoḇ and Yahoochanan saw this, they said, Adonay, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from Heaven, and consume them, even as EliYahoo did?

55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

56 For the Son of Adam is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them[8]. And they went to another village.

57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Adonay, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

58 And Yahooshua said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Adam hath not where to lay his head.

59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Adonay, permit me first to go and bury my father.

60 Yahooshua said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the Kingdom of Yah.

61 And another also said, Adonay, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

62 And Yahooshua said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of Yah.

Chapter 10

 

AFTER these things Adonay Yahooshua appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore Yah the Eternally Self-Existing of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again[1].

7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The Kingdom of Yah is come nigh unto you.

10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the Kingdom of Yah is come nigh unto you.

12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Seḏom, than for that city.

13 Woe unto thee, Korazin! woe unto thee, Beyth Tsaiḏa! for if the mighty works had been done in Tsor and Tsiḏon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tsor and Tsiḏon at the judgment, than for you.

15 And thou, Kephar Naḥum, which art exalted to Heaven, shalt be thrust down to Hell.

16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me[2].

17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Adonay, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from Heaven.

19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you[3].

20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in Heaven.

21 In that hour Yahooshua rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Adonay of Heaven and Earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

23 And he turned him unto his followers, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

24 For I tell you, that many Spokesmen and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

25 And, behold, a certain one learned in the Torah stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

26 He said unto him, What is written in the Commandments? how readest thou?

27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love Yah the Eternally Self-Existing thy Mighty One with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Yahooshua, And who is my neighbour?

30 And Yahooshua answering said, A certain man went down from Yerushalayim to Yeriḥo, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

33 But a certain Samaritan[4], as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Yahooshua unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

39 And she had a sister called Miryam, which also sat at Yahooshua’ feet, and heard his word.

40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Adonay, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

41 And Yahooshua answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful[5] and troubled about many things:

42 But one thing is needful: and Miryam hath chosen that good part[6], which shall not be taken away from her.

Chapter 11

 

AND it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his followers said unto him, Adonay, teach us to pray, as Yahoochanan also taught his followers.

2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in Heaven[1], Hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in Heaven, so in Earth.

3 Give us day by day our daily bread.

4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;

6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?

7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.

9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your Heavenly Father give the Set-Apart Spirit to them that ask him?[2]

14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.

15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Be‛elzebul the chief of the devils.

16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from Heaven.

17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every Kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth[3].

18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his Kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Be‛elzebul.

19 And if I by Be‛elzebul cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

20 But if I with the finger of Yah cast out devils, no doubt the Kingdom of Yah is come upon you.

21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.

25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first[4].

27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of Yah, and keep it.

29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Yonah the Spokesman.

30 For as Yonah was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of Adam be to this generation[5].

31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the Earth to hear the wisdom of Shelomoh; and, behold, a greater than Shelomoh is here.

32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Yonah; and, behold, a greater than Yonah is here.

33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.

34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is good, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.

39 And Adonay Yahooshua said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

41 But rather give kind deeds of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of Yah: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the Synagogues (congregations), and greetings in the markets.

44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.

45 Then answered one of the lawyers[6], and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.

46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers[7]! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

47 Woe unto you! for ye build the Tombs of the Spokesmen, and your fathers killed them.

48 Truly ye bear witness that you approve the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their Tombs.

49 Therefore also said the wisdom of Yah, I will send them Spokesmen and Emissaries, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

50 That the blood of all the Spokesmen, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

51 From the blood of Heḇel unto the blood of ZeḵarYah, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:

54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him[8].

 

Chapter 12

 

IN the meantime, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trod one upon another, he began to say unto his followers first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into Hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him[1].

6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before Yah?

7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of Adam also confess before the Messengers of Yah:

9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the Messengers of Yah.

10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of Adam, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemes against the Set-Apart Spirit it shall not be forgiven[2].

11 And when they bring you unto the Synagogues (congregations), and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

12 For the Set-Apart Spirit shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to store my fruits?

18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I store all my fruits and my goods.

19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

20 But Yah said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward Yah[3].

22 And he said unto his followers, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and Yah feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?[4]

25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Shelomoh in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

28 If then Yah so clothe grass, which is to day in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little emunah?

29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

31 But rather seek ye the Kingdom of Yah; and all these things shall be added unto you[5].

32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

33 Sell that ye have, and give kind deeds; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the Heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their Adon, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

37 Blessed are those servants, whom the Adon when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have permitted his house to be broken into.

40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of Adam cometh at an hour when ye think not[6].

41 Then Kepha said unto him, Adonay, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?

42 And Adonay Yahooshua said, Who then is that emunahful and wise steward, whom his Adon shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

43 Blessed is that servant, whom his Adon when he cometh shall find so doing.

44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My Adon delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

46 The Adon of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he does not know, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.[7]

47 And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more[8].

49 I am come to send fire on the Earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

50 But I have a immersion to be immersed with; and how distressed I am untill it is accomplished!

51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on Earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law[9].

54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.

55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.

56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the Earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

Chapter 13

 

THERE were present at that season some that told him of the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

2 And Yahooshua answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they suffered such things?

3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Yerushalayim[1]?

5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent[2], ye shall all likewise perish.

6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why does it make the ground useless?

8 And he answering said unto him, Adonay, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

10 And he was teaching in one of the Synagogues (congregations) on the Sabbath.

11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.

12 And when Yahooshua saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified Yah.

14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Yahooshua had healed on the Sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day[3].

15 Adonay then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?

17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

18 Then said he, Unto what is the Kingdom of Yah like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?

19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the Kingdom of Yah?

21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Yerushalayim.

23 Then said one unto him, Adonay, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,

24 Strive to enter in at the narrow and constrained gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able[4].

25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Adonay, Adonay, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity[5].

28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Yitshaq, and Ya’aqob, and all the Spokesmen, in the Kingdom of Yah, and you yourselves thrust out.

29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the Kingdom of Yah.

30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herodes will kill thee.

32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.

33 Nevertheless I must walk today, and tomorrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a Spokesman perish outside of Yerushalayim.

34 O Yerushalayim, Yerushalayim, which killest the Spokesmen, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing.

Chapter 14

 

AND it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath day, that they watched him.

2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

3 And Yahooshua answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?

4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;

5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have a donkey or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?[1]

6 And they could not answer him again to these things.

7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the best places; saying unto them,

8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest pleace; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;

9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest place.

10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.

11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and you are repaid.

13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the Kingdom of Yah.

16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:

17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready[2].

18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come[3].

21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

22 And the servant said, Adonay, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.

23 And the Adon said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper[4].

25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,

26 If any man come to me, and hate[5] not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my follower.

27 And whosoever doth not bear his Stake, and come after me, cannot be my follower[6].

28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an delegation, and desireth conditions of peace.

33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my follower.

34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

 

Chapter 15

 

THEN drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in Heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance[1].

8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?

9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.

10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the Messengers of Yah over one sinner that repenteth.

11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:

12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.

13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven, and before thee,

19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry[2].

25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.

26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.

27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.

28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.

29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.

32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

Chapter 16

 

AND he said also unto his followers, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.

3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.

4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

5 So he called every one of his lord’s debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.

8 And the Adon commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light[1].

9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?[2]

13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve Yah and mammon[3].

14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but Yah knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of Yah.

16 The Torah and the Spokesmen were until Yahoochanan : since that time the Kingdom of Yah is preached, and every man presseth into it.

17 And it is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass, than one tittle of the Commandments[4] to fail.

18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

20 And there was a certain beggar named El‛azar[5], which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the Messengers into Abraham’s bosom[6]: the rich man also died, and was buried;

23 And in Hell[7] he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and El‛azar in his bosom.

24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send El‛azar, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame[8].

25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise El‛azar evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:

28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moshe and the Spokesmen; let them hear them.

30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moshe and the Spokesmen, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead[9].

 

Chapter 17

 

THEN said he unto the followers, It is impossible but that stumbling blocks will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come![1]

2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him[2].

5 And the emissaries said unto Adonay, Increase our emunah.

6 And Adonay said, If ye had emunah as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this mulberry tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.

10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

11 And it came to pass, as he went to Yerushalayim, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galil.

12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Yahooshua, Master, have mercy on us.

14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified Yah,

16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

17 And Yahooshua answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

18 There are not found that returned to give glory to Yah, save this stranger.

19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy emunah hath made thee whole.

20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the Kingdom of Yah should come, he answered them and said, The Kingdom of Yah cometh not with observation:

21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the Kingdom of Yah is within you[3].

22 And he said unto the followers, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Adam, and ye shall not see it.

23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under Heaven, shineth unto the other part under Heaven; so shall also the Son of Adam be in his day.

25 But first must he permit many things, and be rejected of this generation.[4]

26 And as it was in the days of Noaḥ, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Adam.

27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noaḥ entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29 But the same day that Lot went out of Seḏom it rained fire and brimstone from Heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of Adam is revealed.

31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

32 Remember Lot’s wife.

33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it[5].

34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left[6].

37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Adonay? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.[7]

Chapter 18

 

AND he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not Yah, neither regarded man:

3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not Yah, nor regard man;

5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

6 And Adonay Yahooshua said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

7 And shall not Yah avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of Adam cometh, shall he find emunah on the Earth?[1]

9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, Yah, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto Heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, Yah be merciful to me a sinner.

14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.[2]

15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his followers saw it, they rebuked them.

16 But Yahooshua called them unto him, and said, Permit little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the Kingdom of Yah.

17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of Yah as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

19 And Yahooshua said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, Yah[3].

20 Thou knowest the Commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

22 Now when Yahooshua heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in Heaven: and come, follow me.

23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

24 And when Yahooshua saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the Kingdom of Yah!

25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of Yah.

26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with Yah.

28 Then Kepha said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the Kingdom of Yah’s sake,

30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Yerushalayim, and all things that are written by the Spokesmen concerning the Son of Adam shall be accomplished.

32 For he shall be delivered unto the Ha-goyim, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death[4]: and the third day he shall rise again.

34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Yeriḥo, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.

37 And they told him, that Yahooshua of Natsareth passeth by.

38 And he cried, saying, Yahooshua, thou Son of Dawid, have mercy on me.

39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of Dawid, have mercy on me.

40 And Yahooshua stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,

41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Adonay, that I may receive my sight.

42 And Yahooshua said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy emunah hath saved thee.

43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying Yah: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto Yah.

 

Chapter 19

 

AND Yahooshua entered and passed through Yeriḥo.

2 And, behold, there was a man named Zakkai[1], which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

3 And he sought to see Yahooshua who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

5 And when Yahooshua came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zakkai, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.

6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

8 And Zakkai stood, and said unto Adonay; Behold, Adonay, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

9 And Yahooshua said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

10 For the Son of Adam is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Yerushalayim, and because they thought that the Kingdom of Yah should immediately appear.[2]

12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a Kingdom, and to return.

13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten minas, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the Kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

16 Then came the first, saying, Adonay, thy mina hath gained ten minas.

17 And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou hast been emunahful[3] in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

18 And the second came, saying, Adonay, thy mina hath gained five minas.

19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

20 And another came, saying, Adonay, behold, here is thy mina, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.

22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the mina, and give it to him that hath ten minas.

25 (And they said unto him, Adonay, he hath ten minas.)

26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.[4]

27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.[5]

28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Yerushalayim.

29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Beyth Phaḡi and Beyth Anyah, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his followers,

30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a foal tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.

31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because Adonay hath need of him.

32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

33 And as they were loosing the foal, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the faol?

34 And they said, Adonay hath need of him.

35 And they brought him to Yahooshua: and they cast their garments upon the foal, and they set Yahooshua thereon.

36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the followers began to rejoice and praise Yah with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing: peace in Heaven, and glory in the highest.

39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy followers.

40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.[6]

45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.[7]

47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the Chief Priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

Chapter 20

 

AND it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the Good News, the Chief Priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,

2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:

4 The immersion of Yahoochanan, was it from Heaven, or of men?

5 And they reasoned[1] with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From Heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?

6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that Yahoochanan was a Spokesman.

7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.

8 And Yahooshua said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

9 Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.

10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.

13 Then said the Adon of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.

14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others.[2] And when they heard it, they said, Yah forbid.

17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.[3]

19 And the Chief Priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.

21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of Yah truly:

22 Is it lawful for us to give tax unto Cæsar, or no?

23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?

24 Shew me a denarius. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cæsar’s.

25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which be Cæsar’s, and unto Yah the things which be Yah’s.

26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

28 Saying, Master, Moshe wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

32 Last of all the woman died also.

33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.

34 And Yahooshua answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the Messengers; and are the children of Yah, being the children of the resurrection.

37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moshe shewed at the bush, when he calleth Yah the Eternally Self-Existing the Mighty One of Abraham, and the Mighty One of Yitshaq, and the Mighty One of Ya’aqob.

38 For he is not a Mighty One of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.[4]

40 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.

41 And he said unto them, How say they that The Anointed One of Yah is Dawid’s son?

42 And Dawid himself saith in the book of Tehillim, Yah the Eternally Self-Existing said unto my Adonay, Sit thou on my right hand,

43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

44 Dawid therefore calleth him Adonay, how is he then his son?[5]

45 Then in the audience of all the people[6] he said unto his followers,

46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the Synagogues (congregations), and the chief rooms at feasts;

47 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

Chapter 21

 

AND he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.

3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:

4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of Yah: but she of her poverty hath cast in all the living that she had.[1]

5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,

6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?[2]

8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am The Anointed One of Yah; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and Kingdom against Kingdom:

11 And great Earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from Heaven.

12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the Synagogues (congregations), and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.

13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.

18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

20 And when ye shall see Yerushalayim compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

21 Then let them which are in Yahooḏah flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Yerushalayim shall be trodden down of the Ha-goyim, until the times of the Ha-goyim be fulfilled.

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the Earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the Earth: for the powers of Heaven shall be shaken.[3]

27 And then shall they see the Son of Adam coming in a cloud with power and great glory.[4]

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.

31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the Kingdom of Yah is nigh at hand.

32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

33 Heaven and Earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole Earth.

36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Adam.

37 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.

38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.

 

Chapter 22

 

NOW the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.[1]

2 And the Chief Priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

3 Then entered Satan into Yahoowdah who was called from Qerioth, being of the number of the twelve.

4 And he went his way, and communed with the Chief Priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.

5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the Passover must be killed.

8 And he sent Kepha and Yahoochanan, saying, Go and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat.

9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.

11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat the Passover with my followers?[2]

12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the Passover.

14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve emissaries with him.

15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer:

16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the Kingdom of Yah.

17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the Kingdom of Yah shall come.

19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new Covenant in my blood, which is shed for you.[3]

21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

22 And truly the Son of Adam goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Ha-goyim exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.[4]

28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my trials.

29 And I appoint unto you a Kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Yisra’El.

31 And Adonay said, Shim‛on, Shim‛on, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy emunah fail not: and when thou art turned, strengthen thy brethren.

33 And he said unto him, Adonay, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.

34 And he said, I tell thee, Kepha, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and bag, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his bag: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

38 And they said, Adonay, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his followers also followed him.

40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,[5]

42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

43 And there appeared a messenger unto him from Heaven, strengthening him.

44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his followers, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Yahoowdah, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Yahooshua to kiss him.

48 But Yahooshua said unto him, Yahoowdah, betrayest thou the Son of Adam with a kiss?

49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Adonay, shall we smite with the sword?

50 And one of them smote the servant of the High Priest, and cut off his right ear.

51 And Yahooshua answered and said, Permit ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

52 Then Yahooshua said unto the Chief Priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?

53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

54 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the High Priest’s house. And Kepha followed afar off.

55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Kepha sat down among them.

56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.

57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.

58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Kepha said, Man, I am not.

59 And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilæan.

60 And Kepha said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

61 And Adonay Yahooshua turned, and looked upon Kepha. And Kepha remembered the word of Adonay, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

62 And Kepha went out, and wept bitterly.

63 And the men that held Yahooshua mocked him, and smote him.

64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?[6]

65 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.

66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the Chief Priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their Sanhedrin, saying,

67 Art thou The Anointed One of Yah? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:

68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.

69 Hereafter shall the Son of Adam sit on the right hand of the power of Yah.

70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of Yah? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.

71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.[7]

Chapter 23

 

AND the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.

2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tax to Cæsar, saying that he himself is The Anointed One of Yah a King.

3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Yahoodi’iy? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

4 Then said Pilate to the Chief Priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galil to this place.

6 When Pilate heard of Galil, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan.

7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herodes’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herodes, who himself also was at Yerushalayim at that time.

8 And when Herodes saw Yahooshua, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

10 And the Chief Priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

11 And Herodes with his men of war set him made light of him, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

12 And the same day Pilate and Herodes were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

13 And Pilate, when he had called together the Chief Priests and the rulers and the people,

14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

15 No, nor yet Herodes: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.

16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabba:

19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Yahooshua, spake again to them.

21 But they cried, saying, Execute him, Execute him.

22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.

23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be executed. And the voices of them and of the Chief Priests prevailed.

24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Yahooshua to their will.

26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Shim‛on, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the Stake, that he might bear it after Yahooshua.

27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.

28 But Yahooshua turning unto them said, Daughters of Yerushalayim, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Golgotha[1], there they executed him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

34 Then said Yahooshua, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be The Anointed One of Yah, the chosen of Yah.[2]

36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Yahoodi’iy, save thyself.

38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.[3]

39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be The Anointed One of Yah, save thyself and us.

40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear Yah, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

42 And he said unto Yahooshua, Adonay, remember me when thou comest into thy Kingdom.

43 And Yahooshua said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.[4]

44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the Earth until the ninth hour.[5]

45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.[6]

46 And when Yahooshua had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified Yah, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.

49 And all his acquaintance, and the women[7] that followed him from Galil, stood afar off, beholding these things.

50 And, behold, there was a man named Yoseph, a counseller; and he was a good man, and a just:

51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Ramathayim, a city of the Yahoodi’iy: who also himself waited for the Kingdom of Yah.

52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Yahooshua.

53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a Tomb that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

54 And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drew on.

55 And the women also, which came with him from Galil, followed after, and beheld the Tomb, and how his body was laid.

56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment.

 

Chapter 24

 

NOW upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the Tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

2 And they found the stone rolled away from the Tomb.

3 And they entered in, and found not the body of Adonay Yahooshua.

4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the Earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galil,

7 Saying, The Son of Adam must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be executed, and the third day rise again.

8 And they remembered his words,

9 And returned from the Tomb, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

10 It was Miryam from Maḡdala, and Yoḥanah, and Miryam the mother of Ya‛aqoḇ, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the Emissaries.

11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

12 Then arose Kepha, and ran unto the Tomb; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Amma’us[1], which was from Yerushalayim about threescore furlongs[2].

14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Yahooshua himself drew near, and went with them.

16 But their eyes were restrained that they should not know him.

17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

18 And the one of them, whose name was Qleophas[3], answering said unto him, Art you the only stranger in Yerushalayim, that hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Yahooshua of Natsareth, which was a Spokesman mighty in deed and word before Yah and all the people:

20 And how the Chief Priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have executed him.

21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Yisra’El: and beside all this, today is the third day since these things were done.

22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the Tomb;

23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of Messengers, which said that he was alive.

24 And certain of them which were with us went to the Tomb, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

25 Then he said unto them, O thoughtless ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the Spokesmen have spoken:

26 Ought not The Anointed One of Yah to have permitted these things, and to enter into his glory?

27 And beginning at Moshe and all the Spokesmen, he explained to them in all the writings the things concerning himself.

28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.

29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the writings?

33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Yerushalayim, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

34 Saying, Adonay is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Shim‛on.

35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

36 And as they thus spake, Yahooshua himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any food?

42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

43 And he took it, and did eat before them.

44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the Torah of Moshe, and in the Spokesmen, and in the Tehillim, concerning me.

45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the writings[4],

46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved The Anointed One of Yah to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Yerushalayim.

48 And ye are witnesses of these things.

49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Yerushalayim, until ye be endued with power from on high.

50 And he led them out as far as to Beyth Anyah, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into Heaven.

52 And they bowed down to him, and returned to Yerushalayim with great joy:

53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing Yah. Aměn.

<<< PREVIOUS SECTION: Essence of my Message to YOU

NEXT SECTION: Table of Contents >>>

For a number of years now I have wanted to publish my writings in hard copy format in order to make the writings more accessible to people who do not necessarily have reliable Internet access or who prefer to work with paper copies.

Nearly all the writings since the start of my journey with the Almighty Creator have now been collated into 12 Volumes, 15 physical books, a total of around 7,500 pages, which were published in mid-June 2019.

Volume 1 in the set also has a CD with Recommended Worship and a USB Memory Card with the entire contents of the website, PLUS all the books, PLUS all the audio recordings and videos, PLUS a downloaded version of the Website that can be run standalone WITHOUT an Internet connection.  All of this material can be downloaded off the webpage https://www.eti-ministries.org/compilation-of-most-writings and child pages.

There is also a Booklet containing “Critical Elements of Belief”, a series of one-page Bullet Lists summarizing my understanding of all topics that I hold to be Critical in growing to a place of DEEP relationship with the Almighty Creator whose true Name is “Yah the Eternally Self-Existing”.

There are also two A4 size, tri-fold glossy flyers, one containing the essence of what I believe is necessary for a person who does NOT believe to come to belief and one containing the essence of what is necessary for a person who DOES believe to choose to seek to draw really close to Father Yah.

To obtain a copy of some or all of the physical books please email me on James.Books@ETI-Ministries.org I hope to have them available on Amazon shortly.

Please go immediately to the Relationship with Yah page

IF YOU do NOT believe that the Almighty Creator exists and therefore do NOT have a personal relationship with Him you face a terrible fate when you COULD be blessed for eternity

The Creator has said regarding YOU "why would I want someone to spend eternity with me when they do NOT believe I exist?”

The Almighty Creator, Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, says: "It is time to choose -- will you be my friend, or my foe? -- there is NO middle ground!"

Yah says further:

"Ultimately THE AIM of this entire experiment is to find those who will make the sacrifices necessary to become My FRIENDS -- NOTHING is more important"

...

"A friend is one who is concerned about the well-being of the one they call friend and desires to treat that person as they would be treated -- HOW do you choose to treat Me?"

…

"True friendship is about what you can GIVE -- NOT what you can GET! -- what are YOU prepared to give Me (Yah)?"

…

"A true friend seeks to know ALL truth about the one whom they call friend AND to help others to know that truth -- Do YOU know the truth about me? Do YOU care?"

…

"In this age I (Yah) am MASSIVELY CONSTRAINED by the 'Rules of Engagement' in terms of what I can say and do EXCEPT through those true friends and true servants who will do the necessary work to KNOW my will AND proclaim it AND action it"

…

"There is NO greater love than that a man should lay down his life for his friend! -- Will YOU lay down your life for Me?"

…

"Technically a martyr is one who lays down their life for Me, NOT necessarily in physical death but also by sacrificing their comfort and well being in favour of doing MY will -- will you do ALL that it takes to serve Me and love Me as your friend, NO MATTER what it costs you? -- Will you be a martyr for Me by your way of living?"

…

"My true friends take time to spend quality time with Me daily and communicate with Me and consult Me constantly"

…

"Why Believe? "Because if you do NOT you WILL find that when you die you are forced to serve and worship Satan for ever or at least until the day the winner of the 'The Contest' is adjudicated"

…

"Realize that serving Satan after you die could be a really HORRIBLE experience, particularly IF you regard yourself as a GOOD person!"

…

"Imagine what it will be like as an ancestor spirit (demon) knowing the truth about the lies you believed and watching your loved ones making the same mistakes and believing the same lies that you believed and being unable to do anything about it!"

…

"Imagine what it will be like when you discover that you are irrevocably locked into the same dispensation that is behind the most barbaric and savage cultures on earth"

…

"IF you are a 'GOOD' person: when you die you may find yourself secretly hoping that Satan WILL lose 'The Contest' so that you can be cast into the Lake of Fire and utterly consumed in a moment of torment and terror, rather than being a participant in the progressive degradation of the human race into utter depravity, barbarism and perversion! -- and yet you will be POWERLESS to do anything about it!"

…

"The consequences of dying without a PROFOUND realization of my (Yah's) existence AND a DEEP life changing decision to serve Me is too ghastly to contemplate IF you take the trouble to REALLY understand the truth about the world you live in!"

…

"Imagine what it will be like to be a demon (ancestor spirit) riding on your favourite grandchild and watching them participate in the same empty rituals and mouthing the same meaningless platitudes that you practised during your life and being UNABLE to warn them of the terrible destiny that they are locking themselves into!"

…

"A person who reaches the end of their life as my TRUE FRIEND, one who has progressed from 'Wise Steward', to 'Good and Faithful Servant', to 'Overcomer' and ultimately to 'Friend' will receive rewards and authority of unimaginable splendour including a high throne, status and apparel that is far beyond anything that even the most powerful rulers on earth have ever dreamed of, let alone experienced -- contrast this with the other extreme -- an angry and depraved ancestor spirit (demon) desperately seeking favour in a kingdom where favour is a lesser level of torment and the right to exercise greater control and depravity over those less inclined to serve Satan and his Masterminds  wholeheartedly"

…

"Do YOU REALLY want to be part of a kingdom where the tortured murder of infants is regarded as one of the highest privileges of rank?"

…

"The evidence is ALL around you IF you have eyes to see -- the choice is CLEAR -- a Kingdom of beauty, love (chesed) and benign power or a kingdom of atrocities and perversion, a kingdom that regards torture and tormented and protracted death of human sacrifices followed by cannibalism, preferably while the victim still lives, as the HIGHEST form of worship?"

…

"It is TIME for those who still have some smattering of knowledge of me and my ways to STOP playing games with Satan and start taking back this earth while there is STILL TIME -- it is time for believers to STOP marrying unbelievers and allowing their children to marry unbelievers,, it is TIME to STOP marrying those from Satan worshipping cultures, and to STOP welcoming them into your homes, your cities and your lands -- it is time to STOP acceding to Satanic demands that you cast ME (The Almighty) out of your schools, your halls of Government and your workplaces -- it is TIME to publicly open the day with worship and prayer to me, whether in your places of education, your places of Government or your places of work -- it is TIME to cast out those who will NOT comply instead of being cast out and secretively serving me behind locked doors and, IF you CANNOT set apart that place of learning, or government or work then EXIT PUBLICLY and DECLARE your reasons and gather together with those who WILL agree with you in these matters for it is so that in the spirit one TRUE believer FREE OF SIN can put 1,000 to flight and two can put 10,000 to flight and the power of TRUE BELIEVERS who choose to deal with ALL their sin and live in ALL truth is such that massive transformation IS possible -- note the impact of Noah, Abraham, Moshe {Moses}, Yahooshua {Jesus}, Mohammed and Luther -- YOU TOO can bring about RADICAL reformation and renaissance IF you will lay down your life and seek DEEP and ENDURING FRIENDSHIP with Me!"

…

"IF you believe, it is TIME to assess exactly WHAT you believe about me and then ACT accordingly!"

…

"IF you do NOT believe, it is time to assess EXACTLY what you DO believe and then act accordingly!"

…

"There is NO place for fence sitters -- YOU are either FOR me or by default you are AGAINST ME!"

…

"Know this -- IF you choose to be a TRUE friend, which means you deal with ALL sin and ALL error and do ALL that is required to ensure that your house is FULLY united behind you the forces of darkness CANNOT TOUCH YOU -- BUT, IF you play games and continue to dabble in your favourite sins and errors in your divided house the forces of darkness will TEAR you limb from limb and UTTERLY destroy you -- there has NEVER been a time in all the history of man on earth where life above sin and total unity of your house has been more important!"

…

"IF you choose to serve ME (Yah), understand that you are choosing a VERY strait and VERY narrow path leading to a VERY small door -- gird your loins and FOLLOW the example of the mighty set-apart ones of previous generations!"

The majority of visitors to this site will encounter names and words they are NOT familiar with

It is a harsh reality that the true Name of the Almighty Creator of the Heavens and the Earth whose true Name is "Yah the eternally self-existing" has been concealed as have all the important names, laws, commandments, principles and concepts

What is taught by the "Christian" church is almost entirely incorrect as is the case with EVERY religion

This website seeks to present these truths for your prayerful consideration and adoption -- see the prayers elsewhere in this side bar for more information on what to pray

Key names and words that are used throughout this site and which are fundamentally important are:

The true Name of the Almighty Creator is "Yah the eternally self-existing", frequently translated as "Yahweh", more accurately "Yahooeh"

The name of the man commonly known as "Jesus" is "Yahooshua" meaning "Yah is salvation"

The commonly used names of "God", "The LORD", "Christ", "Jesus" are ALL of pagan, that is Satanic origin and the Almighty has only responded to these names as an act of Grace, this Grace has now been withdrawn

In addition to this ministry I operate a management consulting business specializing in the strategic application of computer based business information systems - a business in which Father has taught me many leading edge concepts, principles and methods

See  http://www.James-A-Robertson-and-Associates.com/

My logo is based on Professor Malcolm McDonald's strategy -- tactics matrix -- strategy, doing the right things horizontally and tactics, doing things right on the vertical axis -- if your organization does the right things well, it will thrive -- top right quadrant -- this is a fundamental principles when it comes to the matters of the Almighty as well

In my consulting work I seek to enable my clients to do the right things well

I regard Father as my partner, Chairman, counselor and I seek to conduct business in a way that is pleasing to Him, within the context of prayer that He will judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve Him more perfectly

 

I truly believe that Father has given me extremely high value knowledge and experience which will enable your organization, be it commercial, governmental or non-governmental to be more effective and efficient in its operations and, IF profit is your measuring stick, more profitable

IF you believe that the Almighty Creator exists then take note that He has said of YOU “why would I want someone to be close to me in Heaven, which inherently means I will give them great authority, if they do NOT have a deep personal relationship with me and have NOT proven to me that they can be trusted?”

IF you believe that the Almighty Creator DOES exist the following are amongst the most important prayers you can pray

Note that the true name of the Almighty Creator is "Yah the eternally self-existing" NOT "The LORD" or "God"

Father Yah, I ask you to help me to overcome to the end that I may be found to  be a "good and faithful servant" on the Day of Judgment

Father Yah I ask you to show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it

Father Yah I ask you to help me to draw MUCH closer to you and to know your will and to do it

Father Yah I ask you to fill me with your Spirit and lead me into ALL truth by your Spirit

Father Yah I give you my life to do with as YOU see fit

Father Yah I ask you to bring the people that YOU want into my life and to take the people that you do NOT want in my life out

Father Yah I ask you to open the doors in my life that YOU want open and to close the doors in my life that YOU want closed

Father Yah I ask you to judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly

There are many other prayers that you can pray but these are amongst the most important

<<< PREVIOUS SECTION: Important Insights from Yah 2014

NEXT SECTION: Tithing is Mandatory >>>

Most articles on this site are classified with a reference number comprising the year, the month and a sequence number within the month, thus 2013.12.03 is the third article published in December 2013

Most detailed webpages are organized with the most recent articles at the top and the Article List displays with the most recent articles at the top.  Searches on the articles list in the same way

Because I am constantly learning, newer articles will almost certainly be an elaboration or refinement of earlier articles and in some cases may significantly revise what I said in earlier articles, in most cases the later article is likely to be more accurate than earlier articles

In ALL cases Father Yah forbids me to go back and edit or correct articles, He wants YOU to have a close personal relationship with Him and therefore to turn to Him for clarification where things that I write contradict or appear to contradict one another

The articles from 2009 onwards are generally much more reliable than those earlier but there are important articles from the earlier days as well, in particular, the articles written in 2000 onwards were written during a period when my understanding was being radically changed on a very intense basis and when I was also getting closer to the Almighty at a very rapid rate

Accordingly the early articles should be given appropriate prayer, particularly if the later articles contradict or appear to contradict what is written in the early articles

That said Father Yah has said that there is much of value in the earlier articles and that they should, accordingly, remain on the site

Third Party Articles

This site includes some articles from third parties

In such cases Father Yah forbids me to censor, edit or correct such articles but requires me to present them in their entirety with little or no comment, as with the previous point He requires YOU to research and pray and reach your own conclusion regarding what is truth

Inclusion of third party articles does NOT indicate any form of endorsement of the person who wrote the article other than that it is my understanding that the article contains information of importance.  Such inclusion also does NOT imply any endorsement of this ministry by the person whose work is cited



It is up to each one of us to discern the truth for ourselves See the article on Seek Truth NOT Error for more information



Content you do NOT agree with



It is probable that you will find material on this site that you do NOT agree with, there is much that is highly controversial, click HERE for an article that proposes a way of responding to such differences

The Inquisitions have had a major impact on believers today

The upsurge of civilization following the Reformation, that is the Renaissance, masks the long term degradation of human beings over time

The turnaround prophets of history are Noah, Moshe, Yahooshua, Mohammed and Luther -- we need to understand their role to understand the world today

The True Religion of the Almighty Creator, Yah, is a synthesis of, and bracketed by, Judaism, Christianity and Islam

Christianity has from the outset compromized with paganism and almost every doctrine of Christianity is fatally corrupt and does NOT define the Creator

Tithes are Invalid in this age

Judaism is one of the three main religions serving the Creator

Islam is the third of the main religions serving the Creator

There is NO Trinity

Yahooshua is NOT the ONLY way

The man Yahooshua, commonly called Jesus was and is a human being and is NOT the Creator

Yahooshua, commonly called "Jesus" will only return around 3003 and is NOT "coming soon"

The Great Falling Away is right now

Where are YOU headed for Eternity?

What should YOU do about the direction of your life today?

The ULTIMATE GOAL -- deep personal friendship with the Almighty Creator of the Heavens and the Earth

The ULTIMATE SIN -- unbelief -- believing the Almighty Creator does NOT exist -- by default allegiance to Satan

The TRAP to prevent you achieving the goal of deep personal relationship with the Creator -- Jesus, the Bible, the Church and Pastors and other people
