Luke

1 Inasmuch 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 you in order, most excellent Theophilus, 4 that you might know the certainty of those things, wherein you have been instructed. 5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia, and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before Elohim, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of The Lord blameless. 7 And they had no child, because Elisabeth 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 Elohim 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 The Lord. 10 And the whole multitude of the people was praying without, at the time of incense. 11 And there appeared unto him an angel of The Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. 13 But the angel said unto him: Fear not, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; your wife Elisabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. 14 And you shall have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. 15 For he shall be great in the sight of The Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. 16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to The Lord their Adon. 17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, 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 The Lord. 18 And Zacharias said unto the angel: Whereby shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years. 19 And the angel answering said unto him: I am Gabriel that stands in the presence of Elohim; and was sent to speak unto you, and to show you these glad tidings. 20 And, behold, you shall be mute and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because you believe not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season. 21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled 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 Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying: 25 Thus has The Lord dealt with me in the days wherein He looked on me, to take away my reproach among men. 26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from Elohim unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And the angel came in unto her, and said: Hail, you that are highly favored, The Lord is with you; blessed are you 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 angel said unto her: Fear not, Mary, for you have found favor with Elohim. 31 And, behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call His name Yeshua. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest, and Adonai Elohim shall give unto Him the throne of his father David: 33 And He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of His Kingdom there shall be no end. 34 Then Mary said unto the angel: How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 And the angel answered and said unto her: The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you: Therefore also, that holy thing which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of Elohim. 36 And, behold, your cousin Elisabeth, she has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. 37 For with Elohim nothing shall be impossible. 38 And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of The Lord; be it unto me according to your word. And the angel departed from her. 39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda, 40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. 41 And it came to pass, that when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit: 42 And she spoke out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. 43 And whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of your 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 The Lord. 46 And Mary sung: My soul does magnify The Lord, 47 and my spirit has rejoiced in Elohim my Savior. 48 For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden; for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 49 For He that is mighty, has done to me great things, and Holy is His name. 50 His mercy is on them that fear Him from generation to generation. 51 He has showed strength with His arm; He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He has put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53 He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. 54 He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy, 55 as He spoke to our fathers, and to Abraham, and to His seed forever! 56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house. 57 Now, Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered, and she brought forth a son. 58 And her neighbors and her cousins heard how The Lord had showed 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 Zacharias, after the name of his father. 60 But his mother answered and said: Not so! He shall be called John. 61 And they said unto her: There is none of your kindred that are called by this name. 62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. 63 But he asked for a writing table, and wrote this saying: His name is John! And they all marveled. 64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, and praised Elohim. 65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them, and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judea. 66 All they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying: What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of The Lord was with him! 67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying: 68 Blessed be Adonai, Elohim of Israel, for He has visited and redeemed His people, 69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David; 70 as He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets, 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; 72 to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember His Holy Covenant; 73 the oath, which He swore 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 holiness and righteousness before Him, all the days of our life. 76 And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Highest, for you shall go before the face of The Lord 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 Adonai our Elohim, whereby the Dayspring from on high has visited us, 79 to give light to them that sits in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace! 80And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts until the day of his showing unto Israel.

1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that the entire world should be taxed. 2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3 And all went to be taxed, everyone into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem (because he was of the house and lineage of David), 5 to be taxed with Mary 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 Now, there were in the same country, shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo, the angel of The Lord came upon them, and the glory of The Lord shone round about them, and they were so afraid. 10 But the angel 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 David, a Savior, which is Messiah The Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you: You shall find the Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel, a multitude of the heavenly hosts, praising Elohim, and saying: 14 Glory to Elohim in the highest, and on Earth peace, good will toward men! 15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which The Lord has made known unto us. 16 And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. 17 Now, 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 Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising Elohim 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 Yeshua {Salvation}, which was so named of the angel before He was conceived in the womb. 22 Now, when the days of her purification according to the laws of Moses were accomplished, they brought Him to Jerusalem, to present Him to The Lord: 23 As it is written in the Torah of The Lord: Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to The Lord! (Exo 13:2, 12–15)) 24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the Torah of The Lord: A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons! (Lev 12:8) 25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 It was revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Messiah {of Elohim}. 27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the Child, Yeshua, to do for Him after the custom of the Torah, 28 then he took Him up in his arms, blessed Elohim and said: 29 Lord, now let Your servant depart in peace, according to Your word. 30 For my eyes have seen Your salvation, 31 that you have prepared before the face of all people: 32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel! 33 Joseph and His mother marveled at those things that were spoken of Him. 34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary His mother: Behold, this Child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be spoken against: 35 Yea, a sword shall pierce through your own soul also; that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. 36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity, 37 and she was a widow for about forty–four years, and never departed from the temple, but served Elohim with fasting and prayers night and day. 38 And she, coming in that instant, gave thanks likewise unto The Lord, and spoke of Him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem. 39 And when they had performed all things according to the Torah of The Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. 40 And the Child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of Elohim was upon Him. 41 Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover. 42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 43 When they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the Child Yeshua tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and His mother did not know of it, 44 but they, supposing Him to have been among the company, went a day's journey; and they sought Him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances. 45 But when they did not find Him, they turned back again to Jerusalem, 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. 48 And when they saw Him, they were amazed, and His mother said unto Him: Son, why have you thus dealt with us? Behold, your father and I have sought You, sorrowing! 49 But He said to them: How is it that you sought Me? Do you not know that I must be about My Father's business? 50 But they understood not, the saying that He spoke unto them. 51 So He went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them. But His mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 52 And Yeshua increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with Elohim and man.

1 Now, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip, tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests; the word of Elohim came unto John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness. 3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, 4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of The Lord, 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 Elohim! (Isa 40:3–5) 7 Then he said to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him: O generation of vipers, who has 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 Elohim is able, from these stones, to raise up children unto Abraham. 9 And now also, the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: Every tree therefore that does not bring 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 answered and said unto them: He that has two coats; let him impart to him that has none; and he that has meat, let him do likewise. 12 Then came publicans also to be baptized, 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, do not accuse anyone falsely, and be content with your wages. 15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Messiah or not; 16 John answered, saying unto them all: I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I comes, the latches of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose; He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire; 17 whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His floor, and will gather the wheat into His garner; but the chaff He will burn with fire unquenchable. 18 And many other things in his exhortation he preached unto the people. 19 But Herod the Tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, 20 added yet this above all; that he shut John up in prison. 21 Now, when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Yeshua also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven, which said: You are My beloved Son; in You I Am well pleased! 23 And Yeshua Himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, who was the son of Heli, 24 who was the son of Matthat, who was the son of Levi, who was the son of Melchi, who was the son of Janna, who was the son of Joseph, 25 who was the son of Mattathias, who was the son of Amos, who was the son of Naum, who was the son of Esli, who was the son of Nagge, 26 who was the son of Maath, who was the son of Mattathias, who was the son of Semei, who was the son of Joseph, who was the son of Juda, 27 who was the son of Joanna, who was the son of Rhesa, who was the son of Zorobabel, who was the son of Salathiel, who was the son of Neri, 28 who was the son of Melchi, who was the son of Addi, who was the son of Cosam, who was the son of Elmodam, who was the son of Er, 29 who was the son of Jose, who was the son of Eliezer, who was the son of Jorim, who was the son of Matthat, who was the son of Levi, 30 who was the son of Simeon, who was the son of Juda, who was the son of Joseph, who was the son of Jonan, who was the son of Eliakim, 31 who was the son of Melea, who was the son of Menan, who was the son of Mattatha, who was the son of Nathan, who was the son of David, 32 who was the son of Jesse, who was the son of Obed, who was the son of Booz, who was the son of Salmon, who was the son of Naasson, 33 who was the son of Aminadab, who was the son of Aram, who was the son of Esrom, who was the son of Phares, who was the son of Juda, 34 who was the son of Jacob, who was the son of Isaac, who was the son of Abraham, who was the son of Thara, who was the son of Nachor, 35 who was the son of Saruch, who was the son of Ragau, who was the son of Phalec, who was the son of Heber, who was the son of Sala, 36 who was the son of Cainan, who was the son of Arphaxad, who was the son of Sem, who was the son of Noah, who was the son of Lamech, 37 who was the son of Mathusala, who was the son of Enoch, who was the son of Jared, who was the son of Maleleel, who was the son of Cainan, 38 who was the son of Enos, who was the son of Seth, who was the son of Adam, who was the son of Elohim.

1 Yeshua, being full of the Holy Spirit, returned from Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days He ate nothing. And when they ended, He afterward hungered. 3 And the devil said unto Him: If you are the Son of Elohim, command this stone that it be made bread. 4 And Yeshua answered him, saying: It is written that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of Elohim! (Deu 8:3) 5 And the devil, taking Him up into a high mountain, showed 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 You, and the glory of them, for that is delivered unto me and to whomsoever I will I give it. 7 If therefore, you will worship me, all shall be Yours! 8 But Yeshua answered and said unto him: Get behind Me, Satan, for it is written: You shall worship Adonai your Elohim, and Him only shall you serve! (Deu 6:13) 9 So he brought Him to Jerusalem, and set Him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto Him: If You are the Son of Elohim, cast Yourself down from hence, 10 for it is written: He shall give His angels charge over You, to keep You, 11 and, In their hands they shall bear You up, lest at any time You dash Your foot against a stone! (Psa 91:11–12) 12 But Yeshua answering said unto him: It is said: You shall not tempt Adonai your Elohim! (Deu 6:16) 13 So, when the devil had ended all the temptations, he departed from Him, for a season. 14 And Yeshua returned, in the power of the Spirit, into Galilee, and there went out a fame of Him through the entire region round about. 15 And He taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. 16 And He came to Nazareth where He had been brought up, and, as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the sabbath, and stood up there to read. 17 There was delivered unto Him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: 18 The Spirit of The Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, 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 The Lord! (Isa 61:1–2) 20 Then He closed the book, and gave it again to the minister and sat down. And the eyes of all those that were in the synagogue were fastened on Him. 21 So 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 that proceeded out of His mouth. And they said: Is not this Joseph's son? 23 And He said unto them: You will surely say unto Me this proverb; Physician, heal yourself! Whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your country. 24 And He said: Amen, I say unto you, no prophet is accepted in his own country. 25 But I tell you of a truth; many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, 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 Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. 27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. 28 So all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 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, 31 and came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, 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 you, Yeshua of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know You who You are: The Holy One of Elohim. 35 But Yeshua rebuked him, saying: Hold your 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 spoke among themselves, saying: What a word is this! For with authority and power He commanded the unclean spirits, and they come out. 37 And the fame of Him went out into every place of the country round about. 38 He arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. But Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought Him for her. 39 So 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 everyone of them and healed them. 41 And devils also came out of many, crying out and saying: You are the Messiah, the Son of Elohim! And He, rebuking them, suffered them not to speak, for they knew that He was the Messiah. 42 When it was day, He departed and went into a desert place. And the people sought Him, and came unto Him and stayed Him that He should not depart from them. 43 But He said unto them: I must preach the Kingdom of YHVH to other cities also, for therefore am I sent! 44 So He preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

1 And it came to pass, as the people pressed upon Him to hear the word of Elohim, He stood by the waters of Gennesaret, 2 and saw two ships standing by the lake. But the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. 3 So He entered into one of the ships, which was Simon'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 finished speaking, He said unto Simon: Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 5 But Simon answering, said unto Him: Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing. Nevertheless at Your word, I will let down the net. 6 And when they had done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net broke. 7 And they beckoned unto their partners that 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 Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Yeshua's knees, saying: Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken. 10 And so was James and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. But Yeshua said unto Simon: Fear not; from henceforth you shall 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 Yeshua, fell on his face and besought Him, saying: Lord, if you will, You can make me clean. 13 So He put forth His hand, and touched him, saying: I will; you are clean! And immediately the leprosy departed from him. 14 And He charged him to tell no man: But go, and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing, according as Moses 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 wilderness and prayed. 17 And it came to pass on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees, and doctors of the Torah, sitting by, which came out of every town; of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem; and the power of The Lord was present to heal them. 18 And behold, men brought in a bed a man, which was taken with palsy, and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before Him. 19 But 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 couch, into the midst before Yeshua. 20 And when He saw their faith, He said unto him: Man, your sins are forgiven you! 21 So the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying: Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but Elohim alone? 22 But when Yeshua perceived their thoughts, He answering said unto them: What do you reason in your hearts? 23 Whether it is easier to say? Your sins be forgiven you, or to say: Rise up and walk? 24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power upon Earth to forgive sins, (He said unto the sick of the palsy), I say unto you, arise and take up your couch, and go into your house! 25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying Elohim. 26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified Elohim, and were filled with fear, saying: We have seen strange things today. 27 After these things, He went forth, and saw a publican named Levi, 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 you eat and drink with publicans and sinners? 31 And Yeshua 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 John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but you eat and drink? 34 And he said unto them: Can you make the children of the bride chamber 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 spoke also a parable unto them: No man puts a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new makes a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agrees not with the old. 37 And no man puts new wine into old bottles; or else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. 38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. 39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desires new, for he said: The old is better!

1 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 ate, rubbing them in their hands. 2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them: Why do You do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? 3 And Yeshua answering them said: Have you not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was hungered, and they which were with him; 4 How he went into the house of Elohim, and did take and eat the showbread, 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: The Son of Man is Lord 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 that had the withered hand: Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. 9 Then Yeshua said 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 your hand. And he did so, and his hand was restored as whole as the other. 11 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Yeshua. 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 Elohim. 13 And when it was day, He called unto him His disciples, and of them He chose twelve, whom also He named apostles: 14 Simon, (whom he also named Peter), and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, 15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes, 16 and Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor. 17 And He came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of His disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, 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 virtue out of Him, and healed them all. 20 And He lifted up His eyes on His disciples, and said: Blessed are the poor, for yours is the Kingdom of YHVH! 21 Blessed are you that hunger now, for you shall be filled: Blessed are you that weep now, for you shall laugh. 22 Blessed are you, 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 Man's sake. 23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy! For, behold, your reward is great in Heaven. For in the like manner did their fathers do unto the prophets. 24 But woe unto you that are rich! For you have received your consolation. 25 Woe unto you that are full, for you shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. 26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you, for so did their fathers to the false prophets. 27 But I say unto you that hear: Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you, 28 bless them that curse you, and pray for them which spitefully use you. 29 And unto him that smites you on the one cheek, offer also the other; and him that takes away your cloak, forbid not to take your coat also. 30 Give to every man that asks of you, and of him that takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. 31 And as you would that men should do to you, you do also to them likewise. 32 For if you love them that love you, what thanks have you? For sinners also love those that love them. 33 And if you do good to them that do good to you, what thanks have you? For sinners also do even the same. 34 And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what thanks have you? For sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 35 But you: Love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the children of the Highest, for He is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. 36 You be merciful therefore, as your Father also is merciful. 37 Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you 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 you mete withal, it shall be measured to you again. 39 And He spoke a parable unto them: Can the blind lead the blind? Shall they not both fall into the ditch? 40 The disciple is not above his Master: But everyone that is perfect shall be as his Master. 41 And why do you behold the mote that is in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the beam that is in your own eye? 42 Indeed, how can you say to your brother: Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in your eye, when you yourself do not behold the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! Cast out first, the beam out of your own eye, and then shall you see clearly to pull out the mote that is in your brother's eye. 43 For a good tree brings not forth corrupt fruit, neither does 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 brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil: For of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. 46 And why do you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not do the things which I say? 47 Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like: 48 He is like a man which built a house, and dug 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 hears and does not, is like a man that, without a foundation, built a house upon the earth, against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

1 Now, when He had ended all His sayings in the audience of the people, He entered into Capernaum. 2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die. 3 And when he heard of Yeshua, he sent unto Him the elders of the Jews, beseeching Him that He would come and heal his servant. 4 And when they came to Yeshua, they besought Him instantly, saying: That he was worthy for whom He should do this: 5 For he loves our nation, and he has built us a synagogue. 6 Then Yeshua went with them. And when He was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying unto Him: Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof. 7 Therefore, I neither thought myself worthy to come unto You, 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 goes; and to another: Come, and he comes; to my servant: Do this, and he does it. 9 When Yeshua heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed Him: I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 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 Nain, and many of His disciples went with Him, and many 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 many people of the city with her. 13 And when The Lord 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 you, Arise! 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 Elohim, saying: A great Prophet is risen up among us! and: That Elohim has visited His people. 17 And this rumor of Him went forth throughout all Judea, and throughout the entire region round about. 18 And the disciples of John showed him of all these things. 19 And John, calling unto him two of his disciples, sent them to Yeshua, saying: Are you He that should come? Or do we look for another? 20 When the men came unto Him, they said: John the Baptist has sent us unto You, saying: Are You He that should come? Or do we look 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 Yeshua answering said unto them: Go your way, and tell John what things you have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and to the poor the gospel is preached. 23 And blessed is he, whoever shall not be offended in Me. 24 And when the messengers of John were departed, He began to speak unto the people concerning John: What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they, which are gorgeously appareled and live delicately, are in kings courts. 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. 27 This is he of whom it is written: Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, which shall prepare Your way before You. (Mal 3:1) 28 For I say unto you: Among those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he that is least in the Kingdom of YHVH is greater than he. 29 And all the people that heard Him, and the publicans, justified Elohim, being baptized with the baptism of John. 30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of Elohim against themselves, being not baptized of him. 31 And The Lord said: where unto 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 you have not danced; we have mourned to you, and you have not wept. 33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say: He has a devil. 34 The Son of Man is come eating and drinking, and you 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 Yeshua 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 wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed His feet, anointing them with the ointment. 39 Now, when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying: This man, if He were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that touches Him, for she is a sinner. 40 And Yeshua answering said unto him: Simon, I have somewhat to say unto you. And he said: Master, say on. 41 There was a certain creditor, which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, 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 Simon answered and said: I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And He said unto him: You have rightly judged! 44 And He turned to the woman, and said unto Simon: Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. 45 You have shone Me no affection, but this woman, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet. 46 And My head with oil, you did not anoint, but this woman has anointed My feet with ointment. 47 Therefore I say unto you: Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much, but to who little is forgiven, the same loves little. 48 And He said unto her: Your sins are forgiven! 49 And they that sat at meat with Him began to say within themselves: Who is this that forgives sins also? 50 And He said to the woman: Your faith has saved you; go in peace.

1 And it came to pass afterward, that He went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the Kingdom of YHVH: And the twelve were with Him. 2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities; Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, 3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto Him of their substance. 4 And when many people were gathered together, and came to Him out of every city, He spoke 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 others fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit a hundredfold. And when He had said these things, He cried: He that has ears to hear, let him hear! 9 And His disciples 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 YHVH, but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand! (Isa 6:9) 11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of Elohim. 12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then comes the devil and takes 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; but these have no root which, for a while believe, but in times 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, 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 has lighted a candle, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets 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 is anything hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. 18 Take heed therefore how you hear; for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, from him shall be taken, even that which he seems to have. 19 Then came His mother and His brethren, and could not come at Him for the press. 20 And it was told Him by certain which said: Your mother and your brethren stand without, desiring to see you. 21 And He answered and said unto them: My mother and My brethren are these that hear the word of Elohim, and do it. 22 Now, it came to pass on a certain day that He went into a ship with His disciples, 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 filling 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 faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another: What manner of Man is this! For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him. 26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. 27 And when He went forth to land, there met Him out of the city, a certain man, which had devils a long time, and wore no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. 28 When He saw Yeshua, he cried out and fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said: What have I to do with You, Yeshua, Son of Elohim most high? I beseech You; 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 broke the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) 30 And Yeshua asked him, saying: What is your name? And he said, Legion! Because many devils were entered into him. 31 And they besought Him that He would not command them to go out into the deep. 32 And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, and they besought Him that He would suffer them to enter into them. And He suffered them. 33 Then the devils went out of the man, and entered into the swine, and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and was choked. 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 Yeshua, and found the man out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Yeshua, 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 Yeshua sent him away, saying: 39 Return to your own house, and show how great things Elohim has done unto you. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Yeshua had done unto him. 40 And it came to pass, that, when Yeshua was returned, the people gladly received Him, for they were all waiting for Him. 41 And behold, there came a man named Jairus, he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Yeshua's 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 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 and could not be healed of any, 44 came behind Him and touched the border of His garment: And immediately her issue of blood stanched. 45 And Yeshua said: Who touched Me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with Him said: Master, the multitude throngs You and presses You, and yet You say: Who touched Me? 46 And Yeshua said: Somebody has touched Me, for I perceive that virtue 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, your faith has made you whole. Go in peace! 49 While He yet spoke, there came one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him: Your daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. 50 But when Yeshua heard it, He answered him, saying: Fear not! Believe only, and she shall be made whole. 51 And when He came into the house, He suffered that no men go in, save Peter, James and John, and the father and mother of the maiden. 52 And all wept, and bewailed her, but He said: Weep not! She is not dead, but sleeps. 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 them to give her meat. 56 And her parents were astonished, but He charged them that they should tell no man what was done.

1 Then He called His twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. 2 And He sent them to preach the Kingdom of YHVH, and to heal the sick. 3 And He said unto them: Take nothing for your journey, neither staves nor scrip, neither bread nor money, neither have two coats a piece. 4 And whatsoever house you enter into, abide there, and thence depart. 5 And whoever will not receive you; when you 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 gospel, and healing everywhere. 7 Now, Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by Him. And he was perplexed, because that it was said of some that John was raised from the dead, 8 and of some that Elias had appeared, and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. 9 And Herod said: John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see Him. 10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told Him all that they had done. And He took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. 11 And the people, when they knew it, followed Him. And He received them, and spoke unto them of the Kingdom of YHVH, 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 desert place. 13 But He said unto them: You give 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 these people. 14 For there were about five thousand men. And He said to His disciples: 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 broke, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. 17 And they all ate and were filled, and there was taken up of the fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets. 18 And it came to pass, as He was alone praying, His disciples were with Him. And He asked them, saying: Who do the people say that I am? 19 They answering said: John the Baptist; but some say Elias; and others say that one of the old prophets is risen again. 20 He said unto them: But who do you say that I am? Peter answering said: The Messiah of Elohim! 21 And He strictly charged them, and commanded them to tell no one these things, saying: 22 The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. 23 Then He said to them all: If anyone will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his Cross daily, and follow Me. 24 For whoever will save his life shall lose it, but whoever will lose his life for My sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gains the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? 26 For whoever shall be ashamed of Me and of My words; of him shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when He shall come in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels. 27 But I tell you of a truth; there is some standing here that shall not taste of death, until they see the Kingdom of YHVH! (Luke 17:20–21) 28 And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, He took Peter, John and James, 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 Moses and Elias: 31 Who appeared in glory, and spoke of His decease that He should accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 But Peter 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, Peter said unto Yeshua: Master, it is good for us to be here: Let us make three tabernacles; one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elias, not knowing what he said. 34 While he thus spoke, a cloud came 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, Yeshua was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days, any of those things that they had seen. 37 And it came to pass that on the next day, when they came down from the hill, many people met Him. 38 And behold, a man of the company cried out, saying: Master, I beseech you, look upon my son; he is my only child. 39 And lo, a spirit took him, and he suddenly cried out, and it tore him that he foamed again, and bruising him; it would not depart from him. 40 And so I besought your disciples to cast him out, and they could not. 41 And Yeshua answering said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring your son here. 42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tares him. And Yeshua 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 Elohim. But while they wondered, everyone, at all things that Yeshua did, He said unto His disciples: 44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man 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 reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. 47 And Yeshua, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by Him, 48 and said unto them: Whoever shall receive this child in My name receives Me, and whoever shall receive Me, receives Him that sent Me. For he that is least among you all; the same shall be great. 49 And John answered and said: Master, we saw one casting out devils in Your name, and we forbade him, because he did not follow with us. 50 And Yeshua 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 Jerusalem, 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 Jerusalem. 54 And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said: Lord, will you that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? 55 But He turned, rebuked them, and said: You know not, what manner of spirit you are of. 56 For the Son of Man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. 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: Lord, I will follow you wherever you go. 58 And Yeshua said unto him: Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has not where to lay His head. 59 And He said unto another: Follow me! But he said: Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 60 Yeshua said unto him: Let the dead bury their dead, but you: Go and preach the Kingdom of YHVH! 61 And another also said: Lord, I will follow you, but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. 62 And Yeshua said unto him: No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of YHVH!

1 After these things The Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before His face into every city and place, where He Himself would come. 2 Therefore He said unto them: The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: You pray therefore The Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth laborers 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 you enter, first say: Peace be to this house! 6 And if the son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. 7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. 8 And into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. 9 Heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them: The Kingdom of YHVH is come nigh unto you! 10 But into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive you not; go your way out into the streets of the same, and say: 11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaves on us, we do wipe off against you: Notwithstanding, you can be sure of this: The Kingdom of YHVH is come nigh unto you! 12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. 13 Woe unto you, Chorazin! Woe unto you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, 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 Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum, which are exalted to the heavens, shall be thrust down into Sheol. 16 He that hears you hears Me, and he that despises you despises Me, and he that despises Me, despises Him that sent Me. 17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying: Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Your name! 18 Then He said unto them: I beheld Satan as lightning falls from the heavens! (Rev 8:10–11) 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. 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 Yeshua rejoiced in spirit, and said: I thank you, O Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, that you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. 22 All things are delivered to Me of My Father, and no man knows 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 unto his disciples and said privately: Blessed are the eyes that see the things that you see: 24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which you hear, and have not heard them. 25 And, behold, a chief lawyer 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 Torah? How do you read it? 27 And he answering said: You shall Love Adonai your Elohim with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself. 28 And He said unto him: You have answered right: These do, and you shall live! 29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said unto Yeshua: And who is my neighbor? 30 Yeshua answering said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 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, 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 pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him: Take care of him, and whatsoever you spend more, when I come again, I will repay you. 36 Which now, of these three, do you think was neighbor unto him that fell among the thieves? 37 And he said: He that showed mercy on him! Then said Yeshua unto him: Go, and do you 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 Mary, which also sat at Yeshua's feet, and heard His word. 40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to Him and said: Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she helps me. 41 And Yeshua answered and said unto her: Martha, Martha, you are careful and troubled about many things. 42 But one thing is needful, and Mary has chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

1 And it came to pass, that, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said unto Him: Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. 2 And He said unto them: When you pray, say: Our Father which is in Heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your Kingdom come; Your will be done, as in Heaven, so on Earth. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone 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, has 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 you! 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 needs. 9 And I say unto you: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For everyone that asks receives; and he that seeks, finds; and to him that knocks, 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 You then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him? 14 And He was casting out a devil, and it was mute. And it came to pass, when the devil had gone out, the mute spoke, and the people wondered. 15 But some of them said: He casts out devils through Beelzebub, 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 falls. 18 If Satan also were divided against himself, how shall his Kingdom stand? Because you say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. 19 And if I, by Beelzebub, cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges. 20 But if I, with the finger of Elohim cast out devils, no doubt the Kingdom of YHVH is come upon you. 21 When a strong man armed keeps his palace, his goods are in peace: 22 But when one stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor wherein he trusted, and divides his spoils. 23 He that is not with Me is against Me, and he that gathers not with Me, scatters. 24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he said: I will return unto my house whence I came out. 25 And when he comes, he finds it swept and garnished. 26 Then he goes, and takes 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. 27 And it came to pass, as He spoke these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto Him: Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the pap's which you have sucked. 28 But He said: Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of Elohim, 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 be no sign given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of Man be to this generation. 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 Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon 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 Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 33 No man, when he has lit a candle, puts it in a secret place, neither under a bushel; but on a candlestick, that they that come in may see the light. 34 The light of the body is the eye: Therefore, when your eye is single, your whole body also is full of light; but when your eye is evil, your body also is full of darkness. 35 Take heed therefore that the light, which is in you, be not darkness. 36 If your whole body therefore were full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle gives you light. 37 And as He spoke, 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 marveled that He had not first washed before dinner. 39 And The Lord said unto him: Now, you Pharisees do make clean the outside of the cup and the platter, but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. 40 You fools, did not He that made that which is without, make that which is within also? 41 But rather, give alms of such things as you have, and behold, all things are clean unto you. 42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! You tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the Love of Elohim! These you ought to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! You love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. 44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You are as graves that appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them. 45 Then one of the lawyers answered, and said unto Him: Master, thus saying, you reproach us also. 46 And He said: Woe unto you also, you lawyers! For you lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 Woe unto you! You build the sepulchers of the prophets, yet your fathers killed them. 48 Truly you bear witness that you allow the deeds of your fathers, for they indeed killed them, and you build their sepulchers. 49 Therefore, the Wisdom of Elohim also says: I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them, they shall slay and persecute, 50 so the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; 51 from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple. Amen, I say unto you; it shall be required of this generation. 52 Woe unto you, lawyers! You have taken away the key of knowledge: You entered not in yourselves, while them that were entering in, you hindered. 53 And as He said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge Him vehemently, to provoke Him to speak of many things. 54 They laid in wait for Him, seeking to catch something out of His mouth, so they might accuse Him.

1 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 disciples first of all: You all; beware 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 you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light, and that which you 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 you should fear: Fear Him who, after death, has the power to cast you into outer darkness; yea, I say unto you, fear Him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before Elohim? 7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. 8 Also I say unto you: Whoever shall confess Me before men, him shall the Son of Man also confess before the Angels of Elohim. 9 But he that denies Me before men shall be denied before the Angels of Elohim. 10 And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him: But unto him that blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven. 11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates and powers, take no thought how or what thing you shall answer, or what you shall say, 12 for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the same hour what you 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 does not consist in the abundance of the things which he possesses. 16 And He spoke 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 bestow my fruits? 18 And he said: This will I do; I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul: Soul, you have much goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry. 20 But Elohim said unto him: You fool! This night your soul shall be required of you. Then whose shall those things be, which you have provided? 21 So is he that lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward Elohim. 22 And He said unto His disciples: Therefore I say unto you: Take no thought for your life; what you shall eat; neither for the body, what you 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 Elohim feeds them. How much more are you better than the fowls? 25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? 26 If you then were not able to do that thing which is least, why do you take thought for the rest? 27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not; they spin not; and yet I say unto you that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 If then Elohim so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith? 29 And do not seek what you shall eat, or what you shall drink, neither be of doubtful mind. 30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after. And your Father knows that you have need of these things. 31 But you rather: Seek the Kingdom of YHVH, and all these things shall be added unto you. 32 Fear not little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. 33 Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts. 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 you yourselves, be like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may open unto him immediately. 37 Blessed are those servants whom the lord, when he comes, shall find watching: Amen, 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 know this; if the good man of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. 40 You therefore, be ready also, for the Son of Man comes at an hour when you think not. 41 Then Peter said unto him: Lord, do you speak this parable unto us, or even to all? 42 And The Lord said: Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? 43 Blessed are that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing. 44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has. 45 But and if that servant says in his heart: My lord delays his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 46 the lord of that servant will come in a day when he looks not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 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. 49 I have come to send fire on the earth, and what will I, if it were already kindled? 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened until it is accomplished! 51 You suppose that I came 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. 54 And He said also to the people: When you see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway you say: There comes a shower, and so it is. 55 And when you see the south wind blow you say: There will be heat, and it comes to pass. 56 You hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it that you do not discern this time? 57 Yea, and why even of yourselves, you judge not, what is right? 58 When you go with your adversary to the magistrate, as you are in the way, give diligence that you may be delivered from him, lest he hale you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer casts you into prison. 59 I tell you, you shall not depart thence, till you have paid the very last mite.

1 There were, present at that season, some that told Him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Yeshua answering said unto them: Do you suppose that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, Nay! But, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, do you think that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, Nay! But, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish. 6 He spoke 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 he said unto the dresser of his vineyard: Behold, these three years I came seeking fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down; why cumber it the ground? 8 And he answering said unto him: let us leave it alone this year also; I shall dig about it, and dung it. 9 And if it bears fruit, good, and if not, then after that you shall cut it down. 10 And He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. 11 And, behold, there was a woman, which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could not lift herself up. 12 And when Yeshua saw her, He called her to Him and said unto her: Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity! 13 And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified Elohim. 14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation because Yeshua 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, but not on the sabbath day. 15 The Lord then answered him and said: You hypocrite, does 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 has 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 He said: Unto what is the Kingdom of YHVH like? And where unto 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: where unto shall I liken the Kingdom of YHVH? 21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened. 22 And He went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. 23 Then one said unto Him: Lord, are there few that are saved? And He said unto them: 24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate, for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 25 When, once the Master of the house is risen up, and has shut to the door, and you begin to stand without and to knock at the door, saying: Lord, Lord, open unto us! He shall answer and say unto you: I know you not whence you are! 26 Then you shall begin to say: We have eaten and drunk in Your presence, and You have taught in our streets. 27 But He shall say: I tell you, I know you not whence you are; depart from Me all you workers of iniquity. 28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of YHVH, 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 YHVH! 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: You get out and depart hence, for Herod will kill You. 32 And He said unto them: You go 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 prophet perishes out of Jerusalem. 34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killed the prophets, and stoned them that are sent unto you; how often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not! 35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate, and verily I say unto you: You shall not see Me, until the time comes when you shall say: Blessed is He that comes in the name of The Lord!

1 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 Yeshua answering spoke 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 an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day? 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 chief rooms; saying unto them: 8 When you are bidden of anyone to a wedding, do not sit down in the highest room, lest a more honorable man than you be bidden of him. 9 And he that bade you and him, come and says to you: Give this man place! And you begin with shame to take the lowest room. 10 But when you are bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade you comes, he may say unto you: Friend, go up higher! Then shall you have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with you. 11 For whoever exalts himself shall be abased, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted. 12 Then He said also to him that bade him: When you make a dinner or a supper, call not your friends, nor your brethren, neither your kinsmen, nor your rich neighbors, lest they also bid you again, and a recompense be made you. 13 But when you make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind, 14 and you shall be blessed, for they cannot recompense you: For you shall 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 YHVH! 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! 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 you have me excused. 19 And another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen and I go to prove them; I pray you have me excused. 20 And another said: I have married a wife and therefore I cannot come. 21 So that servant came and showed his master 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 here the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 22 And the servant said: Lord, it is done as you have commanded, and yet there is room. 23 So the master said unto the servant: Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in so 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. 25 As there went great multitudes with Him, He turned and said unto them: 26 If anyone come unto Me, but will not forsake his father and mother, or wife and children, or brothers and sisters, or their own life also, they cannot be My disciple. 27 Whoever does not bear their own cross and come after Me, cannot be My disciple. 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether there is enough to finish it? 29 Lest haply, after he has 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, does not first sit down, and consults whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an ambassador, and desires conditions of peace. 33 So likewise, whoever he is of you that does not forsake all that he has, he cannot be My disciple. 34 Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? 35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that has ears to hear let him hear!

1 Then drew near unto Him all the publicans and sinners just to hear Him. 2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying: This man receives sinners, and eats with them. 3 And He spoke this parable unto them, saying: 4 Which of you, having a hundred sheep but loses one of them, does not leave the ninety nine in the wilderness, to go after that which is lost, until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them: Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost. 7 I say unto you, that likewise, joy shall be in Heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety nine just persons, which need no repentance. 8 Likewise, what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, does not light a candle, and sweeps the house, and seeks diligently until she find it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls her friends and her neighbors together, saying: Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece that I had lost. 10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the Angels of Elohim over one sinner that repents. 11 And He said: A certain man had two sons. 12 And the younger of them said to his father: Give me the portion of goods that falls 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 you, 19 and am no longer worthy to be called your son: Make me as one of your hired servants. 20 So 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 The son said unto him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight, and am not worthy to be called your 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 finger and shoes on his feet! 23 And bring here the fattened 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 now is found! So they began to be merry. 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: Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him safe and sound! 28 He was angry, but would not go in: Therefore his father came out, and entreated him. 29 And he answering said to his father: Lo, these many years do I serve you, neither I, at any time transgressed your commandment. And yet, you never gave me a kid that I might make merry with my friends. 30 But as soon as this, your son came, which has devoured your living with harlots; you have killed for him the fattened calf. 31 And he said unto him: Son, you are ever with me, and all that I have is yours. 32 It was right that we should make merry, and be glad: For this your brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

1 Yeshua said unto His disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and he was accused to him that he had wasted his goods. 2 So he called and said to him: What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you may no longer be steward! 3 The steward said within himself: What shall I do? For my boss is taking the stewardship away from me. I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg. 4 I know what I will do; so that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. 5 So he called everyone of his boss's debtors and said to the first: How much do you owe my boss? 6 He replied: A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him: Take your bill and sit down quickly and write fifty! 7 Then he said to another: And how much do you owe? He replied: A hundred cores of wheat. So he said to him: Take your bill and write eighty! 8 But the unjust steward's boss commended him because he had done wisely. For the children of this world are in their lifetime, wiser than the children of light. 9 But I say to you; make friends by the mammon of unrighteousness for yourselves, so that when you fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings. 10 He who is faithful in the least is also faithful in much. And he who is unjust in the least is also unjust in much. 11 Therefore, if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust the true riches to you? 12 And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who shall give you that which is your own? 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. You cannot serve Elohim and mammon! 14 But the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him. 15 But He said to them: You are those who justify yourselves before other people, but Elohim knows your hearts: For that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of Elohim! 16 The Torah and the Prophets were until John: Since that time the Kingdom of YHVH is preached, and everyone is pressed into it. 17 It is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of Torah to fail. 18 Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery, and whoever marries her that is put away from her husband, commits adultery. 19 There was a certain rich man, clothed in purple and fine linen, who fared sumptuously everyday. 20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 It came to pass that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried. 23 In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 So he cried and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame! 25 But Abraham said: Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted, and you are tormented. 26 And beside all this, between you and us, there a great gulf is fixed, so that they that would pass from hence to you, cannot; neither can they pass to us that would come from thence. 27 Then he said: I beg you therefore that you would 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 said unto him: They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them! 30 And he said: Nay, father Abraham, but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 But he said unto him: If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead!

1 Then He said unto the disciples: It is impossible but that offenses will come, but woe unto him, through whom they come! 2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. 3 Take heed to yourselves: If your brother trespass against you, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he trespasses against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day, turns again to you, saying: I repent! You shall forgive him. 5 And the apostles said unto The Lord: Increase our faith! 6 And The Lord said: If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you might say unto this sycamore tree: Be plucked up by the root and 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 comes in from the field: Go and sit down to meat? 8 Will you not rather say unto him: Make ready wherewith I may dine; gird yourself and serve me, until I have eaten and drunken, and afterward you shall eat and drink? 9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not! 10 So likewise you, when you shall have done all those things that 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 Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as He entered into a certain village, there He met ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 13 And they lifted up their voices, and said: Yeshua, Master, have mercy on us! 14 And when He saw them, He said unto them: Go show 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 Elohim, 16 And fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks: And he was a Samaritan. 17 And Yeshua answering said: Were there not ten cleansed? Where is the other nine? 18 There are not found that returned to give glory to Elohim, save this stranger. 19 And He said unto him: Arise, go your way; your faith has made you whole. 20 And when He was demanded of the Pharisees when the Kingdom of YHVH should come, He answered them and said: The Kingdom of YHVH comes not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! Or, lo there! For, behold, the Kingdom of YHVH is within you! 22 And He said unto the disciples: The days will come, when you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you 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 lights out of the one part under heaven, shines unto the other part under heaven; so also shall the Son of Man be in His day. 25 But first He must suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. 26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man. 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the Ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, and they built. 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of Man 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 Whoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. 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. 37 And they answered and said unto Him: Where, Lord? And He said unto them: Wherever the body is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

1 And He spoke 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 Elohim, neither regarded man: 3 And there was a widow in that city, and she came unto him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary! 4 And he would not for a while, but afterward he said within himself: Though I fear not Elohim, nor regard man, 5 yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming, she weary me. 6 And The Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge said. 7 And shall not Elohim 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 Man comes, shall He find faith on Earth? 9 And He spoke 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: Elohim, I thank you that I am not as other men are, extortionists, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican: 12 I fast twice in the week and I give tithes of all that I possess! 13 But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying: Elohim be merciful to me a sinner! 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: For everyone that exalts himself shall be abased; but he that humbles himself shall be exalted. 15 And they brought unto Him also infants, that He would touch them, but when His disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 16 But Yeshua called them unto Him, and said: Suffer little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not: For of such is the Kingdom of YHVH! 17 Amen, I say unto you, whoever shall not receive the Kingdom of YHVH 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 Yeshua said unto him: Why do you call Me good? None is good, save One; that is, Elohim! 20 You know the commandments: Do not commit adultery; do not kill; do not steal; do not bear false witness; honor your father and mother! (Exo 20:12–16; Deu 5:16–20; Lev 19:18) 21 And He said: All these have I kept from my youth up. 22 But when Yeshua heard these things He said unto him: Yet you lack one thing: Sell all that you have and distribute it unto the poor, and you shall have treasure in Heaven. Then come, follow Me! 23 But when he heard this, he was very sorrowful, for he was very rich. 24 And when Yeshua saw that he was very sorrowful, He said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the Kingdom of Heaven! 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 YHVH. 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 Elohim. 28 Then Peter said: Lo, we have left all, and followed You. 29 And He said unto them: Amen, I say unto you; there is no one that has left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of YHVH, 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 Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man shall be accomplished. 32 For He shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: 33 And they shall scourge Him, and put Him to death, 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 that were spoken. 35 It came to pass that as He was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging, 36 and hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. 37 They told him that Yeshua of Nazareth passes by. 38 So he cried, saying: Yeshua, Son of David, 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: Son of David, have mercy on me! 40 So Yeshua stood, and commanded him to be brought unto Him. When he was near, He asked him, 41 saying: What will you that I shall do unto you? And he said: Lord, that I may receive my sight! 42 Then Yeshua said unto him: Receive your sight; your faith has saved you. 43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying Elohim. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto Elohim.

1 Yeshua entered and passed through Jericho. 2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. 3 He sought to see Yeshua; who He was; but could not for the press, because he was little of stature. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for he was about to pass that way. 5 And when Yeshua came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said unto him: Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must abide at your house! 6 So he made haste, came down and received Him joyfully. 7 When they all saw it, they all murmured, saying that He was going to be a guest with a man that is a sinner. 8 Then Zacchaeus stood and said unto The Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. 9 And Yeshua said unto him: This day, Salvation has come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Num 5:5–10) 11 And as they heard these things, He added and spoke a parable, because He was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the Kingdom of YHVH should immediately appear. 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 pounds, 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 returned, having received the kingdom, he then 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: Lord, your pound has gained ten pounds! 17 And he said unto him: Well, you good servant, because you have been faithful in a very little, you have authority over ten cities! 18 And the second came, saying: Lord, your pound has gained five pounds. 19 And he said likewise to him: You are also over five cities! 20 And another came, saying: Lord, behold, here is your pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin. 21 For I feared you because you are an austere man; you take up what you do not lay down and reap what you did not sow. 22 And he said unto him: Out of your own mouth, will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down and reaping that I did not sow: 23 Wherefore then, you gave not, 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 pound and give it to him that has ten pounds. 25 (They had said unto him: Lord, he has ten pounds!) 26 For I say unto you; that unto everyone which has, shall be given; and from him that has not, even that he has, shall be taken away from him. 27 But those, my enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. 28 And when He had thus spoken, He went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. 29 And it came to pass, when He was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples, 30 saying: Go into the village over against you; in which, at your entering, you shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: Loose him, and bring him here. 31 And if anyone asks you: Why do you loose him? Thus shall you say unto him: Because The Lord has 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 colt, the owners thereof said unto them: Why do you loose the colt? 34 And they said: The Lord has need of him! 35 And they brought him to Yeshua, and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Yeshua 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 disciples began to rejoice and praise Elohim with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, 38 saying: Blessed be the King that comes in the name of The Lord! (Psa 118:26) Peace in Heaven and glory in the highest! 39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto Him: Master, rebuke Your disciples! 40 But 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 near, He beheld the city, and wept over it, 42 saying: If you had known, even you, at least in this your day, the things which belong unto your peace! But now they are hid from your eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon you, that your enemies shall cast a trench about you, and compass you round, and keep you in on every side, 44 and shall lay you even with the ground, and your children within you; and they shall not leave in you one stone upon another, because you knew not the time of your visitation. 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 you have made it a den of thieves! (Isa 56:7; Jer 7:11) 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 was very attentive to hear Him.

1 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as He taught the people in the temple and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon Him with the elders, 2 and spoke unto Him, saying: Tell us, by what authority do You do these things? Or who is he that gave You this authority? 3 And He answered and said unto them: I will also ask you one thing, and answer Me: 4 The baptism of John; was it from Heaven, or of men? 5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying: If we shall say, from Heaven, He will say: Why then do you not believe Him? 6 But and if we say, of men, all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet. 7 And they answered that they could not tell when it was. 8 And Yeshua said unto them: Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things. 9 Then He began 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 entreated 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 owner 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 owner of the vineyard do unto them? 16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. But when they heard it, they said: Heaven 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? (Psa 118:22) 18 Whoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 19 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour, sought to lay hands on Him, but 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 you say and teach rightly, neither do you accept the person of any, but teach the way of Elohim truly: 22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no? 23 But He perceived their craftiness, and said unto them: Why do you tempt Me? 24 Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription has it? They answered and said, Caesar's. 25 And He said unto them: Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto Elohim the things which are of Elohim. 26 And they could not take hold of His words before the people; they marveled 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, Moses wrote unto us, if anyone's brother dies, having a wife, and he dies 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 as wife. 34 But Yeshua 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 anymore, for they are equal to the angels, and are the children of Elohim, being the children of the resurrection. 37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called Adonai, the Elohim of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob. 38 For He is not the Elohim of the dead, but of the living, for all live unto Him! 39 Then certain of the scribes answering said: Master, You have well said. 40 After that they dared not ask Him any questions at all. 41 And He said unto them: How say they that Messiah is David's son? 42 David himself said in the book of Psalms: YHVH said to my sovereign: Abide as My right hand until I make your enemies your footstool! (Psa 110) 44 David therefore called him sovereign; how is he then his son? 45 Then in the audience of all the people, He said unto His disciples: 46 Beware of the scribes {of the Pharisees}, who desire to walk in long robes, and crave greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; 47 which devour widows houses, and for a show make long prayers: The same shall receive greater damnation!

1 Yeshua looked up and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury, 2 and He saw also a certain poor widow casting in two mites. 3 So He said: Of a truth I say unto you; that this poor widow has cast in more than they all. 4 For all these have of their abundance, cast in unto the offerings of Elohim, but she of her penury has cast in all the living that she had. 5 And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, He said: 6 As for these things which you behold, the days will come, in 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? 8 And He said: Take heed that you are not deceived. For many shall come in My name, implying: I am Messianic! But they shall deceive many. As the time draws near, you all, do not go therefore after them. 9 But when you 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, 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 you 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 you shall be betrayed, both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk's and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. 17 And you shall be hated of all men for My name's sake. 18 But there shall not a hair of your head perish. 19 In your patience you possess your souls. 20 And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, know then that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21 Then let them which are in Judea 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 there into. 22 For these are 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. Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles 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 that are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws nigh. 29 And He spoke to them a parable: Behold the fig tree, and all the trees, 30 when they now shoot forth, you see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. 31 So likewise, when you see these things come to pass, you know that the Kingdom of YHVH is nigh at hand. 32 Amen, I say unto you: This generation shall not pass away, until all is fulfilled. 33 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away. 34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at anytime, your hearts are overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and cares of this life, so that day comes upon you unaware. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole Earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man. 37 And in the daytime 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 to hear Him.

1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. 2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill Him, for they feared the people. 3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, 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 agreed 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 Peter and John, saying: Go and prepare us the Passover that we may eat. 9 And they said unto Him: Where will you that we prepare? 10 And He said unto them: Behold, when you are entering into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he enters in, 11 and you shall say unto the good man of the house: The Master said unto you: Where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat the Passover with My disciples? 12 And he shall show 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 came, He sat down, and the twelve apostles 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 anymore eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the Kingdom of YHVH! 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 YHVH shall come. 19 And He took bread, and gave thanks, and broke 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. 21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrays Me is with Me on the table. 22 And truly the Son of Man goes, 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 Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. 26 But you 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 does serve. 27 For which is greater, he that sits at meat, or he that serves? Is not he that sits at meat? But I am among you as He that serves. 28 You are they, which have continued with Me in My temptations. 29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as My Father has appointed unto Me, 30 that you may eat and drink at My table in My Kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 31 And The Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not. And when you are converted, strengthen your brethren. 33 And he said unto Him: Lord, I am ready to go with you, both into prison, and to death. 34 But He said: I tell you, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before you shall thrice deny that you know Me! 35 And He said unto them: When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, did you lack anything? And they said: Nothing! 36 Then He said unto them: But now, he that has a purse let him take it, and likewise his scrip, and he that has no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. 37 For I say unto you that this, which is written, must yet be accomplished in Me: And He was reckoned among the transgressors! (Isa 53:12) The things concerning Me have an end. 38 And they said: Lord, 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 disciples also followed Him. 40 And when He was at the place, He said unto them: Pray that you enter not into temptation. 41 And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 42 saying: Father, if you be willing, remove this cup from Me. Nevertheless, not my will, but Your, be done. 43 And there appeared an angel unto Him from Heaven, strengthening Him. 44 And being in an agony He prayed more earnestly; His sweat was as it were, great drops of blood falling down to the ground. 45 And when He rose up from prayer, and came to His disciples, He found them sleeping for sorrow, 46 and said unto them: Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation. 47 And while He yet spoke, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Yeshua to kiss Him. 48 But Yeshua said unto him: Judas, you betray the Son of Man with a kiss? 49 When they, which were about Him, saw what would follow, they said unto Him: Lord, 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 But Yeshua answered and said: Suffer you thus far! And He touched his ear, and healed him. 52 Then Yeshua said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which came to him: You have come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? 53 When I was daily with you in the temple, you stretched forth no hands against Me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness. 54 Then they took Him and led Him, and brought Him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. 55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and was set down together, Peter 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 do not know Him! 58 And after a little while another saw him, and said: You are also of them. And Peter 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 Galilean. 60 And Peter said: Man, I know not what you say! And immediately, while he yet spoke, the cock crew. 61 And The Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of The Lord, how He had said unto him: Before the cockcrow, you shall deny Me thrice! 62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. 63 And the men that held Yeshua 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 You? 65 And many other things they blasphemously spoke 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 council, saying: 67 Are you the Messiah? Tell us! And He said unto them: If I tell you, you will not believe: 68 And if I also ask you, you will not answer Me, nor let Me go. 69 Hereafter shall the Son of Man sit on the right hand of the power of Elohim. 70 Then said they all: Are you then the Son of Elohim? And He said unto them: You say that I Am! 71 And they said: What need we any further witness? For we ourselves have heard from His own mouth.

1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led Him to Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse Him, saying: We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that He Himself is Messiah a King. 3 And Pilate asked him, saying: Are you the King of the Jews? And He answered him and said: You said it! 4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and to the people: I find no fault in this Man. 5 And they were fiercer, saying: He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place. 6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the Man were a Galilean. 7 And as soon as he knew that He belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time. 8 And when Herod saw Yeshua, he was exceeding glad, for he was desirous to see Him for 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 Herod with his men of war, set Him at naught, and mocked Him, and arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him again to Pilate. 12 And the same day Pilate and Herod 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: You have brought this Man unto me, as one that perverts the people. And behold, I, having examined Him before you, have found no fault in this Man touching those things whereof you accuse Him: 15 No, nor yet Herod, 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 Barabbas: 19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) 20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Yeshua, spoke again to them. 21 But they cried, saying: Crucify Him! Crucify Him! 22 And he said unto them the third time: Why, what evil has 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 crucified. 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 Yeshua to their will. 26 And as they led Him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Yeshua. 27 And there followed Him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented Him. 28 But Yeshua turning unto them said: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for Me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. 29 For, behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say: Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the pap's which never gave suck. 30 Then shall they begin to say: To the mountains, fall on us! And to the hills, cover us! (Hosea 10:8) 31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? 32 And there were also two others; malefactors, led with Him to be put to death. 33 And when they had come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 34 Then said Yeshua: 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 Messiah, the chosen of Elohim. 36 And the soldiers also mocked Him, coming to Him, and offering Him vinegar, 37 and saying: If you are the king of the Jews, save Yourself. 38 A superscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 39 And one of the malefactors who were hanged, railed on Him, saying: If you are Messiah, save Yourself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying: Do you not fear Elohim, seeing you are in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds, but this Man has done nothing amiss. 42 Then he said unto Yeshua: Lord, remember me when You come into Your Kingdom. 43 And Yeshua said unto him: Amen, I say unto you that today shall you be with Me in Paradise! 44 It was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour; 45 the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. 46 And when Yeshua had cried with a loud voice, He said: Father, into Your hands I commend My Spirit! And having said thus, He gave up the Spirit. 47 Now, when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified Elohim, saying: Certainly this was a righteous Man! 48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things that were done, smote their breasts, and returned. 49 And all His acquaintance, and the women that followed Him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things. 50 And behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor; 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 Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, whom also himself, waited for the Kingdom of YHVH! 52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Yeshua. 53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher 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 Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulcher, and how His body was laid. 56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day, according to the commandment.

1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulcher, bringing the spices that they had prepared, and certain others with them. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher. 3 And they entered in, and found not the body of The Lord, Yeshua. 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 do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is raised! Remember how He spoke unto you when He was yet in Galilee, 7 saying: The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. 8 And they remembered His words, 9 and returned from the sepulcher, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles. 11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. 12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulcher; 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 Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. 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, Yeshua Himself drew near, and went with them. 16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know Him. 17 And He said unto them: What manner of communications are these that you have one to another, as you walk, and are sad? 18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto Him: Are you only a stranger in Jerusalem, and have not known the things, which came to pass there in these days? 19 And He said unto them: What things? And they said unto Him: Concerning Yeshua of Nazareth, which was a Prophet mighty in deed and word, before Elohim and all the people, 20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and have crucified Him. 21 But we trusted that it had been He that should have redeemed Israel. 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, who were early at the sepulcher; 23 And when they found not His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that He was alive. 24 And certain of them that were with us went to the sepulcher, and found it even so as the women had said: But Him they saw not. 25 Then He said unto them: O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 26 Ought not Messiah to have suffered these things, and to enter into His glory? 27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the scriptures, the things concerning Him. 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 broke, 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 our heart not burn within us while He talked with us by the way, and while He opened to us the scriptures? 33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, 34 saying: The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon. 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 spoke, Yeshua Himself stood in the midst of them, and said unto them: Peace be unto you! 37 But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. 38 And He said unto them: Why are you 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 has not flesh and bones, as you see I have. 40 And when He had thus spoken, He showed them His hands and His feet. 41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, He said unto them: Have you here any meat? 42 And they gave Him a piece of broiled fish and a honeycomb. 43 And He took it, and ate before them. 44 And He said unto them: These are the words which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the Torah of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning Me. 45 Then He opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures. 46 And said unto them: Thus it is written, and thus it behooved the Messiah 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 Jerusalem. 48 And you are witnesses of these things. 49 Behold, I send the promise of My Father upon you, but you tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high. 50 And He led them out as far as to Bethany, 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 worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: 53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing Elohim. Amen! (Back)
