The four “gospels” correlate with the four faces of the living creatures in Y’hezq’el chapter 1, which were also depicted on the four primary banners of the camp of Ysra'al in the wilderness. Luqa’s account emphasizes YaHuWSHuWaH’s humanity, corresponding with the face of a man. Matithyahuw portrays YaHuWSHuWaH primarily as the King, corresponding with the face of the lion. Mark emphasizes His servanthood, corresponding with the ox, and Yahuwchanan corresponds with the eagle—the one who supersedes natural limits (YashaYahuw 40:31) and bears the captives back home (Ex. 19:4). Yahuwchanan is indeed the most mystical of the books, focusing onRuwach HaQadosh's significance behind YaHuWSHuWaH’s words and deeds. It also highlights His fulfillment of the particulars of the prescribed festivals. Notice its parallels also to Genesis 1, including enumeration of what happened each day in sequence. The book is also structured around a series of “I am” statements and signs that accompanied them, demonstrating that He was the one the prophets had all pointed toward.
The Tetragrammaton = hwhy = YaHuWaH
h[wcwhy = YaHuWSHuWaH
[Exodus 23:20 "“Behold, I send My Messenger before you, to guard you by the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. 23:21 Pay attention to Him, and listen to His voice. Don’t provoke Him, for He shall not pardon your disobedience, for My Name is in Him." ...... including most of the tetra-gram]
[I shall raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you; and I shall put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I shall command Him. It shall happen, that whoever shall not listen to My words which He shall speak in My Name, I shall require it of him. (Deut. 18:18-19)]
Yahuwchanan 12:48 He who rejects Me, and doesn’t receive My sayings, has one who judges him. The Word that I spoke shall judge him in the last Day. 12:49 For I spoke not from Myself, but the Father Who sent Me, He gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 12:50 I know that His commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to Me, so I exactly speak it.”
YirmeYahuw 36:17 They asked Baruwk, saying, Tell us now, How did you write all these words? From his mouth? 36:18 Then Baruwk answered them, He pronounced all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book." These words need to be remembered in reading this work.
The Besorah According to Luke
1:1 Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us, 1:2 even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the Word delivered them to us, 1:3 it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilos; 1:4 that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
1:5 There was in the days of Herodes, the sovereign of Yahuwdah, a certain priest named ZekarYahuw, of the priestly division of AbiYahuw. He had a wife of the daughters of Aharown, and her name was Aliysheba (Ali-shaba - "oath of Al"). 1:6 They were both righteous before YaHuWaH, walking blamelessly in all the Commandments and ordinances of the Master. 1:7 But they had no child, because Aliysheba (Ali-shaba) was barren, and they both were well advanced in years. 1:8 Now it happened, while he executed the priest’s office before YaHuWaH in the order of his division, 1:9 according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the Miqdash of YaHuWaH and burn incense. 1:10 The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
1:11 A Messenger of YaHuWaH appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 1:12 ZekarYahuw was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. 1:13 But the Messenger said to him, “Don’t be afraid, ZekarYahuw, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Aliysheba (Ali-shaba), shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Yahuwchanan. 1:14 You shall have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. 1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of YaHuWaH, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink. He shall be filled with Ruwach HaQadosh, even from his mother’s womb. 1:16 He shall turn many of the children of Ysra'al to YaHuWaH, their Aluah. 1:17 He shall go before Him in the Ruwach and power of AliYahuw, ‘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 YaHuWaH.”
[The eighth course of AbiYahuw, when ZekarYahuw was ministering, was the week of Sivan 12 to 18. Adding forty weeks for a normal pregnancy reveals that Yahuwchanan HaMatbeel was born on Passover (Nisan 14) when a place is set in all Ysra'alite tables for the coming of AliYahuw, the Prophet and a time of great rejoicing - vs. 14.]
1:18 ZekarYahuw said to the Messenger, “I cannot accept this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.”
1:19 The Messenger answered him, “I am Gabriy'al (Al is my strength), who stands in the presence of YaHuWaH. I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news. 1:20 Behold, you shall be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall happen, because you didn’t believe my words, which shall be fulfilled in their proper time.”
1:21 The people were waiting for ZekarYahuw, and they marveled that he delayed in the Miqdash. 1:22 When he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the Miqdash. He continued making signals to them, and remained mute. 1:23 It happened, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house. 1:24 After these days Aliysheba (Ali-shaba), his wife, conceived, and {After a month, when she knew she was pregnant,} she hid herself five months, saying, 1:25 “Thus has YaHuWaH commanded me to do this in these days for He has looked on me, to take away my shame among men.”
1:26 Now in the sixth month [of Aliysheba's pregnancy - {it was time for Chanukah, the Feast of Dedication, and}], the Messenger Gabriy'al was sent from YaHuWaH to a city of Galiyl (revealed), named Nazareth (Branch/Watchmen Place), 1:27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Yowseph, of the house of Dawiyd. The virgin’s name was Miryam. 1:28 Having come in, the Messenger said to her, “Rejoice, you highly favored one! Our Master YaHuWaH is with you. Blessed are you among women!”
1:29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be. 1:30 The Messenger said to her, “Don’t be afraid, Miryam, for you have found favor with YaHuWaH. 1:31 Behold, you shall receive conception, and bring forth a son, and shall call His name ‘YaHuWSHuWaH.’ 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High and YaHuWaH Aluah shall give Him the throne of His Father, Dawiyd, 1:33 and He shall reign over the house of Ya'aqob forever. There shall be no end to His Reign.”
We know six months after Yahuwchanan's conception, Miryam conceived YaHuWSHuWaH. (Luke 1:26-33). Therefore, YaHuWSHuWaH would have been conceived six months later in the month of Kislev. Kislev 25 is Chanukkah. Was the “light of the world” conceived on the festival of lights? Starting at Hanukkah, which begins on Kislev 25 and continues for eight days, and counting through the nine months of. Miryam's pregnancy, one arrives at the time of the birth of YaHuWSHuWaH at or near the Feast of Tabernacles. However, there is this from Torah Calendar -- The Messiah was not born at the festival of “Sukkot” or “Tabernacles,” as this was a full two weeks after the sign given in Revelation 12:2, which refers to the actual moment of His birth. This is confirmed in the Messianic Scriptures in Luke 2:3 where it states that everyone in Judea went to their own city to enroll for a census. Yet at Sukkot, all Israelite males were to appear before YaHuWaH in Jerusalem according to Exodus 23:14-17. The Romans certainly would not have scheduled a census in Judea at the time of Sukkot. Even if they would have, it is certain that every Israelite male in Judea would not have broken the commands of YaHuWaH to appease the Romans. Yahuwshuwah was born on Day 1 of Month 7 which is called Yom Teruah - Day of Trumpets.
The prophecy in Revelation 12:2 states that the woman “being with child, screamed, travailing in birth and agonized to be delivered.” This refers to the actual moment Yahuwshuwah the Messiah was born. The Messiah was born between sunset at 5:53 P.M. and moonset at 6:35 P.M. on Day 1 of Month 7. The best time to sight the first crescent of Yerach (the moon) on that day was at 6:12 P.M., and this is the minute the Messiah was born. This is possible to determine as 6:12 P.M. was also the moment that the brightest star in Bethulah or Virgo touched the horizon, or “alighted to the earth.” The name of this star is Tsemech in Hebrew, or Al Zimach in Arabic, and it was the subject of prophecy by Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Zechariah. Tsemech was written about by E. W. Bullinger.
1:34 Miryam said to the Messenger, “How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?”
1:35 The Messenger answered her, “Ruwach HaQadosh shall come on you [rest on you], and the power of the Most High shall sweep over you. Therefore also the Set-apart One Who is born from you shall be called the Son of YaHuWaH.
1:36 Behold, Aliysheba (Ali-shaba), your relative, also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 1:37 For everything spoken by YaHuWaH is possible.”
1:38 Miryam said, “Behold, the handmaid of YaHuWaH; be it to me according to your word.” The Messenger departed from her. 1:39 Miryam arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Yahuwdah, 1:40 and entered into the house of ZekarYahuw and greeted Aliysheba (Ali-shaba). 1:41 It happened, when Aliysheba (Ali-shaba) heard Miryam’s greeting, that the baby leaped in her womb, and Aliysheba (Ali-shaba) was filled with Ruwach HaQadosh. 1:42 She called out with a loud voice, and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 1:43 Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Master should come to me? 1:44 For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy! 1:45 Blessed is she who believed, for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from YaHuWaH!”
1:46 Miryam said,
“My soul magnifies YaHuWaH.
1:47 My ruwach has rejoiced in YaHuWaH my Savior,
1:48 for He has looked at the humble state of His handmaid.
For behold, from now on, all generations shall call me blessed.
1:49 For Ha'Gibor has done great things for me.
Set-apart is His Name.
1:50 His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear Him.
1:51 He has shown strength with His Arm.
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
1:52 He has put down princes from their thrones.
And has exalted the lowly.
1:53 He has filled the hungry with good things.
He has sent the rich away empty.
1:54 He has given help to Ysra'al, His servant, that He might remember mercy,
1:55 As He spoke to our Fathers, to Abraham and his Seed forever.”
{This all signified that Miryam conceived YaHuWSHuWaH in the sixth month of Alisheba's pregnancy.}
1:56 Miryam stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house (probably after Yahuwchanan was born and then was discovered to be pregnant by Yowseph and others)... ) 1:57 Now the time that Aliysheba (Ali-shaba) should give birth was fulfilled, and she brought forth a son. 1:58 Her neighbors and her relatives heard that YaHuWaH had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.
{Now all Ysra'al looked for the Prophet EliYahuw to arrive at Pesach.} And when Elisheba's son was born, her neighbors and her cousins heard how YaHuWaH had showed great mercy upon her, so they celebrated with her {all through the Feast days of Unleavened Bread. It happened as Gabri-Al foretold, saying, "for many shall celebrate at the time of his birth"}.
1:59 It happened on the eighth day, {which was the last day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread,} that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him ZekarYahuw, after the name of the Father. 1:60 His mother answered, “Not so; but he shall be called Yahuwchanan.” (YaHuWaH's favor)
1:61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.” 1:62 They made signs to his Father, what he would have him called.
1:63 He asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, “His name is Yahuwchanan.”
They all marveled. 1:64 His mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing YaHuWaH. 1:65 Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Yahuwdah. 1:66 All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, “What then shall this boy be?” The hand of Master YaHuWaH was with him. 1:67 His Father, ZekarYahuw, was filled with Ruwach HaQadosh, and prophesied, saying:
Strophe 1 (the past)
1:68 Stiche 1 “Blessed is Master YaHuWaH, Aluah of Ysra'al,
Stiche 2 Who has visited His people and wrought deliverance to it;
1:69 Stiche 3 And He has raised up a Horn of deliverance
Stiche 4 For us in the house of Dawiyd His servant.
1:70 Stiche 5 As He spoke by the mouth of His Set-Apart prophets who have been from old,
1:71 Stiche 6 That He would save us from our enemies,
Stiche 7 And from the hand of all who hate us.
Strophe 2 (the present)
1:72 Stiche 1 And He has shown His mercy to our fathers,
Stiche 2 And has remember His Set-Apart covenant,
1:73 Stiche 3 And the oaths which He swore to Abraham, our father, that He would give to us.
1:74 Stiche 4 That we would be delivered from the hand of our enemies.
Stiche 5 And we might serve before Him without fear,
1:75 Stiche 6 All the days of our days in ritual purity
Stiche 7 In Set-apartness and Righteousness.
Strophe 3 (the future)
1:76 Stiche 1 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High (Ailya),
Stiche 2 For you shall go before the Face of Master YaHuWaH to prepare His way.
1:77 Stiche 3 So that He might give knowledge of life to His people in the remission of their sins,
1:78 Stiche 4 By the kindness of mercy of our Aluah,
Stiche 5 By which will visit us from a ray above.
1:79 Stiche 6 To enlighten those who are in darkness
Stiche 7 And sit in the shadow of death, that He might direct our feet in the Way of shalom.”
Magnificent poetic patterns abound in Hebrew and Aramaic. The second strophe is particular is truly amazing! Beginning with stiche 1, the statement "to show mercy" is khnan, the Aramaic root of Yu-khnan (John). Followed by stiche 2, the phrase "He remembers His covenant," zakhar is Ibriy for "He remembers," combined with a name for Aluah who does the remembering, or Zakhar-Yahuw (Zechariah). Stiche 3 has "the oath which YaHuWaH swore to our father Abraham," combined with another Hebrew name for "Aluah" Ali and "oath" shaba, to form the name of the Immerser's mother, Ali-shaba (Elizabeth). There is no coincidence that the names of Zechariah, Elizabeth, and Yahuwchanan are contained poetically "within" verses expressly about them. Furthermore, this poem has the exact Hebrew/Aramaic pattern found in both Hebrew Scriptures and Peshitta Tanakh. The text follows Semitic rules; the first deals with the past, the second the present, and third the future. AENT
Luke1:80 The boy grew, and was strengthened in Ruwach HaQadosh, {as a rightful Kohen of Ysra'al and descendant of Aharon should be} and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Ysra'al.
[Which should have begun on the Feast of Trumpets - “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of YaHuWaH. Make his paths straight. ... repent and be immersed.]
When it was close to the time for Miryam to give birth, six months had passed since last Pesach and Yahuwchanan's birth. So then, it was time for Teruah, the blowing of the Trumpets and the first day of the civil year.
2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that a degree went out from the Roman Emperor, Caesar Augustus, that everyone in the empire was to be enrolled/taxed. 2:2 This was the first registration/taxation made when Kurenios was governor of Arom. 2:3 All went to register themselves, everyone to his own city. 2:4 Yowseph also went up from Galiyl, out of the city of Nazareth, into Yahuwdah, to the city of Dawiyd, which is called Bayith Lechem [House of Bread], because he was of the house and family of Dawiyd; 2:5 to register himself with Miryam, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
[When they arrived in Beit-Lechem, the inn was full of those who had come to be registered and taxed, and there was no room for them.
2:6 It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she should give birth. 2:7 She brought forth her firstborn Son, and she wrapped Him in bands of cloth, and laid Him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Yahuwshuwah - thru Whom we have Life, was born on the day when new life will be given to those who are resurrected when this trumpet is again blown just before the Millennial Age begins. From Torah Calendar:
The prophecy in Revelation 12:2 states that the woman “being with child, screamed, travailing in birth and agonized to be delivered.” This refers to the actual moment Yahuwshuwah the Messiah was born. The Messiah was born between sunset at 5:53 P.M. and moonset at 6:35 P.M. on Day 1 of Month 7. The best time to sight the first crescent of Yerach (the moon) on that day was at 6:12 P.M., and this is the minute the Messiah was born. This is possible to determine as 6:12 P.M. was also the moment that the brightest star in Bethulah or Virgo touched the horizon, or “alighted to the earth.” The name of this star is Tsemech in Hebrew, or Al Zimach in Arabic, and it was the subject of prophecy by YashaYahuw, YirmeYahuw, and ZekarYahuw. Tsemech was written about by E. W. Bullinger.
As Spica or the Branch came from heaven to earth when it touched the horizon at 6:12 P.M. on Day 1 of Month 7 in 3 B.C.E., so did the Branch Yahuwshuwah the Messiah come to the earth to fulfill His destiny. In Hebraic thought, as Yerach (the moon) reflects the light of Shemesh (the sun), so Israel is to reflect the light of the Creator to the nations. The Messiah of Israel was born at 6:12 P.M. when the first visible crescent of Yerach was most clearly reflecting the light of Shemesh. He is the Light of the World as He said in John 8:12 and the Great Light spoken of by Isaiah.
2:8 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field (Tower of the Flock), and keeping watch by night over their flock. 2:9 Behold, a Messenger of YaHuWaH stood by them, and the splendor of YaHuWaH shone around them, and they were terrified. 2:10 The Messenger said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which shall be to all people. ( soon coming Sukkot terminology) 2:11 For there is born to you, this day, in the city of Dawiyd the Savior, Who is Master YaHuWaH the Mashiyach.
(YaHuWaH is the real Mashiyach, who chose the vessel of YaHuWSHuWaH the man - "a body you have prepared for Me."... and Ruwach haKadosh Who IS YaHuWaH dwelt in Him, in His Fullness!)
2:12 This is the sign to you: you shall find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a food-storage bin.” 2:13 Suddenly, there was with the Messenger a multitude of the heavenly army praising YaHuWaH, and saying, 2:14 “Splendor to Al Alyown in the highest, on earth shalom, good will toward men.”
2:15 It happened, when the Messengers went away from them into the sky, that the shepherds said one to another, “Let’s go to Bayith Lechem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which YaHuWaH has made known to us.” 2:16 They came with haste, and found both Miryam and Yowseph, and the baby was lying in the food-storage bin. 2:17 When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child. 2:18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds. 2:19 But Miryam kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart. 2:20 The shepherds returned, esteeming and praising YaHuWaH for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
[Because there being no room for YaHuWSHuWaH at his birth during this registration and taxation, when even the temporary shelters were packed so thick, he had to be born in one in the open country outside Bayith Lechem, at the Tower of the Flock. (Micha 4:8; 5:2)]
2:21 When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, His name was called YaHuWSHuWaH, which was given by the Messenger before He was conceived in the womb.
The full Name (not the man-made contractions - which are never found in the Word) of our Mashiyach is written in Paleo-Hebrew as seen in red. Note: His name, however, was given to us in "block Ibriy - vowel pointed as: YOD-HEH-WAW-SHIN-AYIN. The letter WAW in this case is actually SHUREQ and is pronounced as the English vowel "U." Pronounced correctly that produces the name YAH-HOO-SHOO-AH. The last letter AYIN is actually unpronounceable in English (as is the ALEPH) but we get as close as possible with the AH on the end of His name. It should be a guttural sound that would make other people think you might be choking. However, even in the Paleo-Hebrew His Name would be said the same way as the "shin" always has a "shoo" sound, and with the ayin would result in "shua".... thus no vowel points are needed. Twice in the TaNaK it is spelled as yod-heh-waw-shin-waw-ayin. Strong's refers the spelling seen below to the "original" spelling which is "yod-heh-waw-shin-waw-ayin".
y h w - c [ = YaHuWSHuWaH
yod - hey - waw - shin - ayin
= Yahuw - shuah = YaHuWaH's Deliverance [Yahuw = I AM HE, shuah = Saves/Deliverance] .... thus "I AM HE (YaHuWaH-who) SAVES /DELIVERS"
As stated by YaHuWaH in YashaYahuw 43:11 I, even I, AM YaHuWaH; and apart from Me there is no Savior. Tehillim 54:1 Save me, Aluahiym, by Your name. (by the name Yahuw + shuwah save me) Vindicate me in Your Might.
2:22 When the days of their purification according to the Torah of Moshah were fulfilled, they brought Him up to Yahrushalom, to present Him to YaHuWaH 2:23 (as it is written in the Torah of YaHuWaH , “Every male who opens the womb shall be called Set-apart to YaHuWaH ), 2:24 and to offer a offering according to that which is said in the Torah of YaHuWaH, “A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”
2:25 Behold, there was a man in Yahrushalom whose name was Shim'own. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Ysra'al, and Ruwach HaQadosh was on him. 2:26 It had been revealed to him by the Ruwach that he should not see death before he had seen YaHuWaH’s Anointed. 2:27 He came in the Ruwach into the Miqdash. When the parents brought in the child, YaHuWSHuWaH, that they might do concerning Him according to the requirement of the Torah, 2:28 then he received Him into his arms, and blessed YaHuWaH, and said,
2:29 “Now, O Master, let Your servant depart,
according to Your word, in shalom;
2:30 for my eyes have seen Your deliverance [yahshua],
2:31 which You have prepared before the face of all peoples;
2:32 a light for the unveiling of the gentiles,
and the esteem of Your people Ysra'al.”
2:33 Yowseph and His mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning Him, 2:34 and Shim'own blessed them, and said to Miryam, His mother:
(Strophe 4)
“Behold, this One is appointed
For the fall
And for the rise
Of many in Ysra'al,
And for a sign of dispute
And in your soul will pass through a spear
So that thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
[“Listen now, O House of Dawiyd, Is it insufficient for you to tire out men, as you wish to also tire out my Mighty Ones? Therefore, my Master will give Himself to you [plural: House of Dawiyd and Yahuwdah] for a sign, Look! The virgin [of Ysra'al] is pregnant and is bearing a Son, and she will call His name Immanuw'El (The Power with us - (translation by Pure Scriptures)) - Rev. 12
2:36 There was one Channah, a prophetess, the daughter of Penuw'el, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity, 2:37 and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn’t depart from the Miqdash, worshipping with fasting and petitions night and day. 2:38 Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to YaHuWaH, and spoke of Him to all those who were looking for redemption in Yahrushalom.
[When the eight days were accomplished for the B'rit Milah [Covenant of Circumcision] the baby was circumcised and given the name, YaHuWSHuWaH [YaHuWaH who Saves], which was the name instructed by the messenger of YaHuWaH before the baby was conceived in the womb.]
2:39 When they had accomplished all things that were according to the Torah of YaHuWaH, they returned into Galiyl, to their own city, Nazareth. 2:40 The Child was growing, and was becoming strong in Ruwach HaQadosh, being filled with wisdom, and the favour of Aluah was upon him. 2:41 His parents went every year to Yahrushalom at the Festival of the Pesach.
2:42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to Yahrushalom according to the custom of the festival, 2:43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the Boy YaHuWSHuWaH stayed behind in Yahrushalom. Yowseph and His mother didn’t know it, 2:44 but supposing Him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey, and they looked for Him among their relatives and acquaintances. 2:45 When they didn’t find Him, they returned to Yahrushalom, looking for Him. 2:46 It happened after three days they found Him in the Miqdash, sitting in the midst of the Teachers, both listening to them, and asking them questions. 2:47 All who heard Him were amazed at His understanding and His answers. 2:48 When they saw Him, they were astonished, and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your Father and I were anxiously looking for You.”
2:49 He said to them, “Why were you looking for Me? Didn’t you know that I must be in the matters of my Father?” 2:50 They didn’t understand the saying which He spoke to them. 2:51 And He went down with them, and came to Nazareth. He was subject to them, and His mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 2:52 And YaHuWSHuWaH increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with Aluah and men.
3:1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberios Kaisar, Pontios Pilatos being governor of Yahuwdah, and Herodes being tetrarch of Galiyl, and his brother Philippos tetrarch of the region of Yetuwr and Trachonitis, and Lusanias tetrarch of Abel, 3:2 in the high priesthood of ChananYahuw and Kaiaphas, the Word of YaHuWaH came to Yahuwchanan, the son of ZekarYahuw, in the wilderness. 3:3 He came into all the region around the Yarden, proclaiming the immersion of repentance for remission of sins. 3:4 As it is written in the scroll of the words of YashaYahuw the prophet,
“The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
‘Make ready the way of YaHuWaH.
Make His paths straight.
3:5 Every valley shall be filled.
Every mountain and hill shall be brought low.
The crooked shall become straight, and the rough ways smooth.
3:6 All flesh shall see YaHuWaH’s deliverance.’” [YashaYahuw 40:3-5]
3:7 He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be immersed by him, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and don’t begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our Father;’ for I tell you that YaHuWaH is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones! 3:9 Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doesn’t bring forth good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.”
3:10 The multitudes asked him, “What then must we do?”
3:11 He answered them, “He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”
3:12 Tax collectors also came to be immersed, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
3:13 He said to them, “Collect no more than that which is appointed to you.”
3:14 Soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?”
He said to them, “Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages.”
3:15 As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning Yahuwchanan, whether perhaps he was the Anointed, 3:16 Yahuwchanan answered them all, “I indeed immerse you with water, but He comes Who is mightier than I, the latchet of Whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He shall wash you in Ruwach HaQadosh and fire, 3:17 whose fan is in His hand, and He shall thoroughly cleanse His threshing floor, and shall gather the wheat into His barn; but He shall burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
[YirmYahuw 15: 6-8] “You, you have rejected Me!” Declares Yahuwah, “You continue walking backwards, so I will stretch out My hand against you and I will destroy you, I am tired of showing compassion.
7. And I shall SIFT (winnow) them with a PITCHFORK at the gates of the Land, I shall miscarry them, I shall exterminate [those of] My people who have not changed from their ways.
8. Their widows will be more numerous to Me than the sand of the seas – I will bring upon them, against the mother of the youths, one destroying at the midday [Psalms 91:6], I will suddenly apportion by lot to them terror and sudden ruin!”
(Ruth 4:7-8 Now this was the custom in former time in Ysra'al concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man took off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the manner of attestation in Ysra'al. So the near kinsman said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself.” He took off his shoe.)
3:18 Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people, 3:19 but Herodes the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herodes had done, 3:20 added this also to them all, that he shut up Yahuwchanan in prison. 3:21 Now it happened, when all the people were immersed, YaHuWSHuWaH also had been immersed, and was praying, and heaven was opened, 3:22 and Ruwach HaQadosh descended on Him in a bodily form in the likeness of a dove; (Yahuwchanan 1:33) and a Voice came out of heaven, saying “You are My beloved Son. In You I am well pleased.”
Yowseph's Genealogy -Yahuwshuwah's adoptive father:
3:23 YaHuWSHuWaH Himself, when He began to teach, was about thirty years old, being the Son (as was supposed) of Yowseph, of Aliy, 3:24 the son of MattithYahuw, the son of Lewi, the son of Melek, the son of Yanai, the son of Yowseph, 3:25 the son of MattithYahuw, the son of Amos, the son of Nachuwm, the son of Elyehow'eynay, the son of Nogahh, 3:26 the son of Ma'ath, the son of MattithYahuw, the son of Shim'iy, the son of Yowseph, the son of Yahudah, 3:27 the son of Yahuchanan, the son of RhephaYahuw, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of She'altiy'el, the son of NeriYahuw, 3:28 the son of Melek, the son of Adiy, the son of Qesem, the son of Almowdad, the son of Er, 3:29 the son of Yowseph, the son of Aliy'ezer, the son of Yowram, the son of MattithYahuw, the son of Lewi, 3:30 the son of Shim'own, the son of Yahudah, the son of Yowseph, the son of Yonah, the son of Elyaqiym, 3:31 the son of Melea, the son of Mainan, the son of MattithYahuw, the son of Nathan, the son of Dawiyd, 3:32 the son of Yishay, the son of Owbed, the son of Bo'az, the son of Salmown, the son of Nachshown, 3:33 the son of Ammiynadab, the son of Ram, the son of Chetsrown, the son of Perets, the son of Yahudah, 3:34 the son of Ya'aqob, the son of Yitschaq, the son of Abraham, the son of Terach, the son of Nachowr, 3:35 the son of Seruwg, the son of Re'uw, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelach, 3:36 the son of Qeynan, the son of Arpakshad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lemek, 3:37 the son of Methuwshelach, the son of Chanowk, the son of Yered, the son of Mahalal'el, the son of Qeynan, 3:38 the son of Enowsh, the son of Sheth, the son of Adam, the son of YaHuWaH.
{The Hebrew word for appoint in 1Kings 5:5 is “Nathan.” Nathan was the brother of Sholomo, and also son of Bath Sheba. Miriam came thru the line of Shelomoh the son of Dawid and the adoptive father of Yahuwshuwah came thru Nathan, Dawid's son also.}
4:1 YaHuWSHuWaH, full of Ruwach HaQadosh, returned from the Yarden, and was led by the Ruwach into the wilderness 4:2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, He was hungry. 4:3 The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of YaHuWaH, command this stone to become bread.”
4:4 YaHuWSHuWaH answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word from the mouth of YaHuWaH.’”
4:5 The devil, leading Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 4:6 The devil said to Him, “I shall give You all this authority, and their esteem, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want [Rev. 13:2,4]. 4:7 If You therefore shall worship before me, it shall all be Yours.”
4:8 YaHuWSHuWaH answered him, “Get behind Me satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship YaHuWaH your Aluah, and you shall serve Him only.’”
4:9 He led Him to Yahrushalom, and set Him on the pinnacle of the Miqdash, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of YaHuWaH, cast Yourself down from here, 4:10 for it is written,
‘He shall put His Messengers in charge of You, to guard You;’
4:11 and, ‘On their hands they shall bear You up, lest perhaps You dash Your foot against a stone.’”
4:12 YaHuWSHuWaH answering, said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not test/try YaHuWaH Your Aluah.’” ("don't attempt to force YaHuWaH to pass one of your man-made tests" Aramaic sense.)
4:13 When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from Him until another time.
4:14 YaHuWSHuWaH returned in the power of the Ruwach into Galiyl, and news about Him spread through all the surrounding area. 4:15 He taught in their synagogues, being esteemed by all.
4:16 He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. He entered, as was His custom, into the synagogue on the Shabbath day, and stood up to read. 4:17 The scroll of the prophet YashaYahuw was handed to Him. He opened the scroll, and found the place where it was written,
4:18 “The Ruwach HaQadosh of YaHuWaH is on Me,
because YaHuWaH has anointed Me to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
to proclaim release to the captives,
recovering of sight to the blind,
to deliver those who are crushed,
4:19 and to proclaim the acceptable year of YaHuWaH.” [He spoke the Name of YaHuWaH three times. (This was a Yubilee Year)]
4:20 He closed the scroll, gave it back to the shammash, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on Him. 4:21 He began to tell them, “Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
4:22 All testified about Him, and wondered at the gracious Words which proceeded out of His mouth, and they said, “Isn’t this Yowseph's Son?”
4:23 He said to them, “Doubtless you shall tell Me this parable, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Kaphar Nachuwm, do also here in Your hometown.’” 4:24 He said, “Most certainly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown. 4:25 But truly I tell you, there were many widows in Ysra'al in the days of AliYahuw, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land. 4:26 AliYahuw was sent to none of them, except to Tsarephath, in the land of Tsiydown, to a woman who was a widow. 4:27 There were many lepers in Ysra'al in the time of Aliyshua (Aluah is deliverance) the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Na'aman, the Aramiy.”
4:28 They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things. 4:29 They rose up, threw Him out of the city, and led Him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw Him off the cliff. 4:30 But He, passing through the midst of them, went His way.
4:31 He came down to Kaphar Nachuwm, a city of Galiyl. He was teaching them on the Shabbath day, 4:32 and they were astonished at His teaching, for His Word was with authority. 4:33 In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, 4:34 saying, “Leave me alone! What have we to do with each other YaHuWSHuWaH of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I discern You, You are the Set-apart One of YaHuWaH!”
4:35 YaHuWSHuWaH rebuked him, saying, “Shut your mouth, and come out of him!” When the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm.
4:36 Amazement came on all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, “What is this Word? For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!” 4:37 News about Him went out into every place of the surrounding region.
4:38 He rose up from the synagogue, and entered into Shim'own’s house. Shim'own’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged Him for her. 4:39 He stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them. 4:40 When the sun set and the Shabbath had ended, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them, and healed them. 4:41 Demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, “You are the Mashiyach, the Son of YaHuWaH!” Rebuking them, He didn’t allow them to speak, because they discerned that He was the Anointed.
4:42 When it was day, He departed and went into an uninhabited place, and the multitudes looked for Him, and came to Him, and were holding Him up, so that He wouldn’t go away from them. 4:43 But He said to them, “I must proclaim the good news: the Reign is of YaHuWaH, to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent.” 4:44 He was proclaiming in the synagogues of Galiyl.
5:1 Now it happened, while the multitude pressed on Him and heard the Word of YaHuWaH, that He was standing by the lake of Kinnerowth. 5:2 He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets. 5:3 He entered into one of the boats, which was Shim'own’s, and asked Him to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat. 5:4 When He had finished speaking, He said to Shim'own, “Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch.”
5:5 Shim'own answered Him, “Master, we worked all night, and took nothing; but at Your Word I shall let down the net.” 5:6 When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking. 5:7 They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came, and filled both boats, so that they began to sink. 5:8 But Shim'own Kepha, when he saw it, fell down at YaHuWSHuWaH’s knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Master.” 5:9 For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught; 5:10 and so also were Ya'aqob and Yahuwchanan, sons of Zabdiy, who were partners with Shim'own.
YaHuWSHuWaH said to Shim'own, “Don’t be afraid. From now on you shall be catching people to life.”
5:11 When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed Him. 5:12 It happened, while He was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man full of leprosy. When He saw YaHuWSHuWaH, He fell on his face, and begged Him, saying, “Master, if You desire, You can make me clean.”
5:13 He stretched out His hand, and touched him, saying, “I desire. Be made clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him. 5:14 He commanded him to tell no one, “But go your way, and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing according to what Moshah commanded, for a witness to them.” 5:15 But the report concerning Him spread much more, and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by YaHuWSHuWaH of their infirmities. 5:16 But He withdrew Himself into the desert, and prayed.
5:17 It happened on one of those days, that He was teaching; and there were Parash and teachers of the Torah sitting by, who had come out of every village of Galiyl, Yahuwdah, and Yahrushalom. The Power of YaHuWaH was with Him to heal them. 5:18 Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before YaHuWSHuWaH. 5:19 Not finding a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his cot into the midst before YaHuWSHuWaH. 5:20 Seeing their belief, He said to him, “Man, your sins are pardoned you.”
5:21 The scribes and the Parash began to reason, saying, “Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can liberate from sins, but YaHuWaH alone?” YashaYahuw 43: 25 - I, I AM HE who blots out your transgressions for My Own sake; and remember your sins no more.
5:22 But YaHuWSHuWaH, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, “Why are you reasoning so in your hearts? 5:23 Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are pardoned you;’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk?’ 5:24 But that you may know that the Son of Adam has authority on earth to pardon sins” (He said to the paralyzed man), “I tell you, arise, and take up your cot, and go to your house.”
5:25 Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, Praising YaHuWaH. 5:26 Amazement took hold on all, and they esteemed YaHuWaH. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen incredible things today.”
5:27 After these things YaHuWSHuWaH went out, and saw a tax collector named Lewi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow Me!”
5:28 He left everything, and rose up and followed Him. 5:29 Lewi made a great feast for Him in his house. There was a great crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them. 5:30 The Parash and their scribes murmured against His taught ones, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?” 5:31 YaHuWSHuWaH answered them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do. 5:32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
5:33 They said to Him, “Why do Yahuwchanan’s taught ones often fast and pray, likewise also the taught ones of the Parash, but Yours eat and drink wine?”
5:34 He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is with them? 5:35 But the days [two days] shall come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them. Then they shall fast in those days.”
[Huwshua 5: 15 I will go and return to My place, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek My face. In their affliction* they will seek Me early.” * ( The great Tribulation);6: 2,3 After two days He will revive us. On the third day He will raise us up, and we will live before Him. Let us acknowledge YaHuWaH. Let us press on to know YaHuWaH. His coming will appear like a sunrise, and He will come to us like the winter rain, like the spring rain which watered the earth. (a "day" is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day)
5:36 He also told a parable to them. “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old garment, or else he shall tear the new, and also the piece from the new shall not match the old. 5:37 No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine shall burst the skins, and it shall be spilled, and the skins shall be destroyed. 5:38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved. 5:39 No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
[Yahuwshuwah was the original garment being fitted onto them, the original Wine accustoming them. This was no time to renew their way, when the Way was leading them!]
6:1 Now it happened on the second Shabbath after the first [the Shabbath immediately after the Phaçech week], that He was going through the grain fields. His taught ones plucked the heads of grain, and ate, rubbing them in their hands. 6:2 But some of the Parash said to them, “Look! Your pupils are doing what is not lawful to do on Shabbath! [MattithYahuw 12: 2] Why do they do that which is not lawful on the Shabbath? [Mark 2: 24] “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Shabbath day?”
6:3 YaHuWSHuWaH, answering them, said, “Haven’t you read what Dawiyd did when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him; 6:4 how he entered into the House of YaHuWaH, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?” 6:5 He said to them, “The Son of Adam is Master of the Shabbath.”
6:6 It also happened on another Shabbath that YaHuWSHuWaH entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered. 6:7 The scribes and the Parash watched Him, to see whether He would heal on the Shabbath, that they might find an accusation against Him. 6:8 But He knew their thoughts; and He said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise up, and stand in the middle.” He arose and stood. 6:9 Then YaHuWSHuWaH said to them, “I shall ask you something: Is it lawful on the Shabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?” [Mark 3: 4] ['"Yahuwshuwah was not only asking this because they were going to plot His murder on that Shabbath, but also because His murder by hanging on the stake was also committed on a high Shabbath, the true day of Phaçech!] 6:10 He stared at them, all of them, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other. 6:11 But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to YaHuWSHuWaH.
6:12 It happened in these days, that He went out to the mountain to pray, and He continued all night in prayer to YaHuWaH. 6:13 When it was day, He called His taught ones, and from them He chose twelve, whom He also named emissaries [Shlichim]: 6:14 Shim'own, whom He also named Kepha; Andreas, his brother; Ya'aqob; Yahuwchanan; Philippos; bar-Talmay; 6:15 MatithYahuw; Ta'owm; Ya'aqob, the son of Chelef; Shim'own, who was called the Zealot; 6:16 Yauwdah the son of Ya'aqob; and Yeudah Iscariot, who also became a traitor. 6:17 YaHuWSHuWaH came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a crowd of His taught ones, and a great number of the people from all Yahuwdah and Yahrushalom, and the sea coast of Tsor and Tsiydown, who came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases; 6:18 as well as those who were troubled by unclean shadim and they were being healed. 6:19 All the multitude sought to touch Him, for Power came out from Him and healed them all.
6:20 He lifted up His eyes to His taught ones, and said,
“Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the Reign of YaHuWaH.
6:21 Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you shall be filled.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you shall laugh.
6:22 Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Adam’s sake.
6:23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.
6:24 “But woe to you who are rich!
For you have received your consolation.
6:25 Woe to you, you who are full now,
for you shall be hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you shall mourn and weep.
6:26 Woe, when men speak well of you,
for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.
6:27 “But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 6:28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. 6:29 To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your coat also. 6:30 Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.
6:31 “As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them. 6:32 If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 6:33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 6:34 If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much. 6:35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be children of the Most High; for He is kind toward the unthankful and evil.
6:36 Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.
6:37 Don’t judge, and you won’t be judged. Don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned. Set free, and you shall be set free.
6:38 “Give, and it shall be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, shall be given to you. For with the same measure you measure it shall be measured back to you.”
6:39 He spoke a parable to them. “Can the blind guide the blind? Won’t they both fall into a pit? 6:40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained shall be like his teacher. 6:41 Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye? 6:42 Or how can you tell your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,’ when you yourself don’t see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye. 6:43 For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit. 6:44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don’t gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. 6:45 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.
6:46 “Why do you call Me, ‘Master, Master,’ and don’t do the things which I say?
[Not every one saying to Me “ ’Adonâ´y, ’Adonâ´y (My Master, My Master)” shall enter into the Kingdom of Yahuwah, rather he who does the will of My Father Who is in the heavens. Yahuwchanan’s Glad Tidings 6: 40, 1 Yahuwchanan 3: 23]
Many will say to Me in that Day,
“ ’Adonâ´y, ’Adonâ´y (My Master, My Master), didn’t we eat and drink by Your name, preach by Your name, and by Your name cast out shadims, and perform many works of power by Your name?”
And then I will profess to them, ‘Never did I acknowledge you: even if you are in My bosom and do not do the will of My Father Who is in heaven, out of My bosom will I cast you away! Depart from Me, all you workers of Lawlessness!’ [MattithYahuw 7: 21-23]]
6:47 Everyone who comes to Me, and hears My Words, and does them, I shall show you who he is like. 6:48 He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the Rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the Rock. 6:49 But he who hears, and doesn’t do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”
7:1 After He had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, YaHuWSHuWaH entered into Kaphar Nachuwm. 7:2 A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death. 7:3 When he heard about YaHuWSHuWaH, he sent to Him Yahuwdim elders, asking Him to come and save his servant. 7:4 When they came to YaHuWSHuWaH, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for You to do this for him, 7:5 for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.” 7:6 YaHuWSHuWaH went with them. When He was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, “Master, don’t trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy for You to come under my roof. 7:7 Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to You; but say the Word, and my servant shall be healed. 7:8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
7:9 When YaHuWSHuWaH heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great belief, no, not in Ysra'al.” 7:10 Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
7:11 It happened soon afterwards, that YaHuWSHuWaH went to a city called Na'ah. Many of His taught ones, along with a great multitude, went with Him. 7:12 Now when YaHuWSHuWaH drew near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her. 7:13 When YaHuWSHuWaH saw her, He had compassion on her, and said to her, “Don’t cry.” 7:14 He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!” 7:15 He who was dead sat up, and began to speak. And He gave him to his mother.
7:16 Fear took hold of all, and they praised YaHuWaH, saying, “A great Prophet has arisen among us!” and, “Aluah has visited His people!” 7:17 This report went out concerning Him in the whole of Yahuwdah, and in all the surrounding region.
7:18 The taught ones of Yahuwchanan told him about all these things. 7:19 Yahuwchanan, calling to himself two of his taught ones, sent them to YaHuWSHuWaH, saying, “Are you the One Who is coming, or should we look for another?” 7:20 When the men had come to Him, they said, “Yahuwchanan the Immerser has sent us to You, saying, ‘Are you He Who comes, or should we look for another?’”
7:21 In that hour He cured many of diseases and plagues and evil shadims; and to many who were blind He gave sight. 7:22 YaHuWSHuWaH answered them, “Go and tell Yahuwchanan the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. 7:23 Blessed is he who is not offended by Me.”
7:24 When Yahuwchanan’s Messengers had departed, He began to tell the multitudes about Yahuwchanan, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind (Ruwach)? 7:25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts. 7:26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet. 7:27 This is he of whom it is written:
“See! I am sending My envoy and he will prepare The Way before Me… and suddenly the Master, Whom you are seeking, will come, and the Messenger of the covenant whom you desire, look, he is coming,” says Yahuwah of Hosts:]” [Mal’akiy 3: 1]
7:28 “For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than Yahuwchanan the Immerser, yet he who is least in the Reign of YaHuWaH is greater than he.”
7:29 The people who heard Yahuwchanan, even some tax collectors, were justified by Aluahiym because they were purified with the mikbah officiated by Yahuwchanan. 7:30 But the Parash and the Torah scholars rejected the counsel of YaHuWaH, not receiving the mikbah of Yahuwchanan, thereby hurting themselves.
7:31 “To what then shall I liken the people of this generation? What are they like? 7:32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call one to another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’ 7:33 For Yahuwchanan the Immerser came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 7:34 The Son of Adam has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous Man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ 7:35 Wisdom is justified by all its works.”
7:36 One of the Parash invited Him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharash’s house, and sat at the table. 7:37 Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that He was reclining in the Pharash’s house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment. 7:38 Standing behind at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed His feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 7:39 Now when the Pharash who had invited Him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if He were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches Him, that she is a sinner.”
7:40 YaHuWSHuWaH answered him, “Shim'own, I have something to tell you.”
He said, “Teacher, say on.”
7:41 “A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 7:42 But since they did not have any way to pay it back, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore shall love him most?”
7:43 Shim'own answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.”
He said to him, “You have judged correctly.” 7:44 Turning to the woman, He said to Shim'own, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and You gave me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head. 7:45 You gave Me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet. 7:46 You didn’t anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with ointment. 7:47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are pardoned, for she loved much. But to whom little is pardoned, the same loves little.” 7:48 He said to her, “Your sins are pardoned.”
7:49 Those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even pardons sins?”
7:50 And YaHuWSHuWaH said to the woman, “Your trust has delivered you. Go in shalom.”
8:1 It happened soon afterwards, that YaHuWSHuWaH went about through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the Reign of YaHuWaH. With Him were the twelve, 8:2 and certain women who had been healed of evil shadims and infirmities: Miryam who was called Migdal, from whom seven demons had gone out; 8:3 and Yahuwchanan, the wife of Chouzas, Herodes’s steward; Shusana; and many others; who served them from their possessions. 8:4 When a great multitude came together, and people from every city were coming to Him, He spoke by a parable. 8:5 “A Sower went out to sow His Seed [Living Word of YaHuWaH, YaHuWSHuWaH]. As He sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it. 8:6 Other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture. 8:7 Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it, and choked it. 8:8 Other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit one hundred times.” As He said these things, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
8:9 Then His taught ones asked Him, “What does this parable mean?”
8:10 He said, “To you it is given to know the secrets of the Reign of YaHuWaH, but to the rest in parables; that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’ 8:11 Now the parable is this: The Seed is the Word of YaHuWaH (YaHuWSHuWaH). 8:12 Those along the road are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the Word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved. 8:13 Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the Word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation. 8:14 That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. 8:15 That in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the Word, hold it tightly, and bring forth fruit with patience.
8:16 “No one, when he has lit a Lamp [Ps. 119:105], covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light. 8:17 For nothing is hidden, that shall not be revealed; nor anything secret, that shall not be known and come to light. 8:18 Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him shall be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”
Alternate reading: For the Word isn’t something concealed which shall not become apparent, nor is It a secret, which won’t be well-known or come out for display. Therefore, beware how you hear It! By what measure you mete the Word it shall be measured to you, and shall be added to you who heed it; [Mark 4: 24] for whoever may retain the Word, to him shall be given, but whoever may not maintain the Word, even what he supposes to have shall be taken away from him!”
8:19 His mother and brothers came to Him, and they could not come near Him for the crowd. 8:20 It was told Him by some saying, “Your mother and Your brothers stand outside, desiring to see You.”
8:21 But He answered them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the Word of YaHuWaH, and do it.”
['"Yahuwshua’s natural kin thought He was insane and were outside seeking to take charge of Him. Yahuwshuwah saw the parallel between His Day when He comes and will be surrounded by His true spiritual brothers, though those natural kin will be outside, seeking to force their way in.]
8:22 Now it happened on one of those days, that YaHuWSHuWaH entered into a boat, Himself and His taught ones, and He said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out. 8:23 But as they sailed, YaHuWSHuWaH fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water. 8:24 They came to Him, and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are dying!” He awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it was calm. Psalm 107:29 8:25 He said to them, “Where is your belief?” Being afraid they marveled, saying one to another, “Who is this, then, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?” 8:26 They arrived at the country of the Gadarenos, which is opposite Galiyl.
8:27 When YaHuWSHuWaH stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met Him. He wore no clothes, and didn’t live in a house, but in the tombs. 8:28 When he saw YaHuWSHuWaH, he cried out, and fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, “What do I have to do with You, YaHuWSHuWaH, You Son of the Most High Aluah? I beg You, don’t torment me!” 8:29 For YaHuWSHuWaH was commanding the unclean shadim to come out of the man. For the unclean shadim had often seized the man. He was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bands apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
8:30 YaHuWSHuWaH asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him. 8:31 They begged Him that He would not command them to go into the abyss. (this term always refers to the place reserved for fallen messengers) 8:32 Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged Him that He would allow them to enter into those. He allowed them. 8:33 The demons came out from the man, and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake, and were drowned. 8:34 When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.
8:35 People went out to see what had happened. They came to YaHuWSHuWaH, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at YaHuWSHuWaH’s feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 8:36 Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed. 8:37 All the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenos asked Him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid. He entered into the boat, and returned. 8:38 But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged Him that he might go with Him, but YaHuWSHuWaH sent him away, saying, 8:39 “Return to your house, and declare what great things YaHuWaH has done for you.” He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things YaHuWSHuWaH had done for him. 8:40 It happened, when YaHuWSHuWaH returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him. 8:41 Behold, there came a man named Ya'iyr, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at YaHuWSHuWaH’s feet, and begged Him to come into his house, 8:42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as He went, the multitudes pressed against Him. 8:43 A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians, and could not be healed by any, 8:44 came behind Him, and touched the tzitzit of His garment, and immediately the flow of her blood stopped. 8:45 YaHuWSHuWaH said, “Who touched Me?” When all denied it, Kepha and those with Him said, “Master, the multitudes press and jostle You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’”
8:46 But YaHuWSHuWaH said, “Someone did touch Me, for I perceived that Power has gone out of Me.” 8:47 When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before Him declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately. 8:48 He said to her, “Daughter, cheer up. Your belief has made you well. Go in shalom.”
8:49 While He still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t trouble the Teacher.”
8:50 But YaHuWSHuWaH hearing it, answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she shall be healed.”
8:51 When He came to the house, He didn’t allow anyone to enter in, except Kepha, Yahuchanan, Ya'aqob, the Father of the child, and her mother. 8:52 All were weeping and mourning her, but He said, “Don’t weep. She isn’t dead, but sleeping.”
8:53 They were ridiculing Him, knowing that she was dead. 8:54 But He put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, He called, saying, “Child, arise!” 8:55 Her ruwach returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat. 8:56 Her parents were amazed, but He commanded them to tell no one what had happened.
9:1 He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. 9:2 He sent them forth to proclaim the Reign of YaHuWaH, and to heal the sick. 9:3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—neither staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats apiece. 9:4 Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there. 9:5 As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a witness against them.”
9:6 They departed, and went throughout the villages, proclaiming the Besorah, and healing everywhere. 9:7 Now Herodes the tetrarch heard of all that was done by YaHuWSHuWaH's hand and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that Yahuwchanan had risen from the dead, 9:8 and by some that EliYahuw had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again. 9:9 Herodes said, “Yahuwchanan I beheaded, but who is this, about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see Him. 9:10 The emissaries, when they had returned, told Him what things they had done.
YaHuWSHuWaH took them, and withdrew apart to a deserted place of a city called Bayith Tsayad. 9:11 But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed Him. He welcomed them, and spoke to them of the Reign of YaHuWaH, and He cured those who needed healing. 9:12 The day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said to Him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”
9:13 But YaHuWSHuWaH said to them, “You give them something to eat.”
They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people.” 9:14 For they were about five thousand men.
He said to His taught ones, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 9:15 They did so, and made them all sit down. 9:16 He took the five loaves [Torah] and the two fish [two Houses], and looking up to the sky, He blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the taught ones to set before the multitude. 9:17 They ate, and were all filled. They gathered up twelve hand baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
9:18 It happened, as He was praying alone, that the taught ones were with Him, and He asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
9:19 They answered, “‘Yahuwchanan the Immerser,’ but others say, ‘AliYahuw,’ and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.”
9:20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Kepha answered, “The Anointed One of YaHuWaH.”
9:21 He esteemed them, but commanded them to tell this to no one, 9:22 saying, “The Son of Adam must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day He is to be raised.”
9:23 He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his stake, and follow Me. 9:24 For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, but whoever shall lose his life for My sake, the same shall save it. 9:25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self? 9:26 For whoever shall be ashamed of Me and of My Words in this adulterous and sinful age [Mark 8:38] , of him shall the Son of Adam be ashamed, when He comes in His Esteem, and the Esteem of the Father, and of the set-apart Messengers, and then He will render to each according to his deeds [MattithYahuw 16: 27] . 9:27 But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here, who shall in no way taste of death, until they see the Reign of YaHuWaH.”
9:28 It happened about eight days after these sayings, that YaHuWSHuWaH took with Him Kepha, Yahuchanan, and Ya'aqob, and went up onto the mountain to pray. [2 Kepha 1:17-18] 9:29 As He was praying, the appearance of His face was altered, and His clothing became white and dazzling. 9:30 Behold, two men were talking with Him, who were Moshah and AliYahuw, 9:31 who appeared in Esteem, and spoke of His departure, which He was about to accomplish at Yahrushalom.
9:32 Now Kepha and those who were with Him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw His Splendor, and the two men who stood with Him. 9:33 It happened, as they were parting from Him, that Kepha said to YaHuWSHuWaH, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three booths: one for You, and one for Moshah, and one for AliYahuw,” not knowing what he said. (Sukkot time?)
9:34 While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud. 9:35 A Voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This One is My Son, the Chosen One in Whom I have found delight: heed you Him!”
YashaYahuw 42:1 “Behold, My Servant, Whom I uphold; My Chosen, in Whom My being delights—
9:36 When the Voice came, YaHuWSHuWaH was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
9:37 It happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met Him. 9:38 Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. 9:39 Behold, a shadim takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely. 9:40 I begged Your taught ones to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
9:41 YaHuWSHuWaH answered, “Unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
9:42 While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But YaHuWSHuWaH rebuked the unclean shadim, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his Father . 9:43 They were all astonished at the greatness of YaHuWaH. But while all were marveling at all the things which YaHuWSHuWaH did, He said to His taught ones, 9:44 “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Adam shall be delivered up into the hands of men.” 9:45 But they didn’t understand this saying. It was veiled from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.
9:46 There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest. 9:47 YaHuWSHuWaH, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by His side, 9:48 and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in My Name receives Me. Whoever receives Me receives Him Who sent Me. For whoever is least among you all, this one shall be great.”
9:49 Yahuwchanan answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your Name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”
9:50 YaHuWSHuWaH said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
9:51 It came to pass, when the days were near that He should be taken up, He intently set His face to go to Yahrushalom,
[ YeshaYahuw 50:7 For the Master YaHuWaH shall help Me; therefore I have not been confounded: therefore have I set My face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be disappointed.]
9:52 and sent messengers before His face. They went, and entered into a village of the Shomroniym, so as to prepare for Him. 9:53 They didn’t receive Him, because He was traveling with His face set towards Yahrushalom. 9:54 When His taught ones, Ya'aqob and Yahuwchanan, saw this, they said, “O Master, do You want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as EliYahuw did?”
9:55 But He turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of ruwach you are. 9:56 For the Son of Adam didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village. 9:57 As they went on the way, a certain man said to Him, “I want to follow You wherever You go, Master.”
9:58 YaHuWSHuWaH said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Adam has no place to lay His head.”
9:59 He said to another, “Follow Me!”
But he said, “Master, allow me first to go and bury my Father .”
9:60 But YaHuWSHuWaH said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce the Reign of YaHuWaH.”
9:61 Another also said, “I want to follow You, Master, but first allow me to bid farewell to those who are at my house.”
9:62 But YaHuWSHuWaH said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Reign of YaHuWaH.”
10:1 Now after these things, the Master YaHuWSHuWaH also appointed Seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of Him into every city and place, where He was about to come. 10:2 Then He said to them, “The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Master of the harvest, that He may send out laborers into His harvest. 10:3 Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves. 10:4 Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way. 10:5 Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’ 10:6 If a son of peace is there, your peace shall rest on him; but if not, it shall return to you. 10:7 Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don’t go from house to house. 10:8 Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you. 10:9 Heal the sick who are therein, and tell them, ‘The Reign of YaHuWaH is offered to you.’ 10:10 But into whatever city you enter, and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say, 10:11 ‘Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the Reign of YaHuWaH was offered to you.’ 10:12 I tell you, it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
10:13 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bayith Tsayad! For if the mighty works had been done in Tsor and Tsiydown which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 10:14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tsor and Tsiydown in the judgment than for you. 10:15 You, Kaphar Nachuwm, who are exalted to heaven, shall be brought down to Sheol. 10:16 Whoever listens to you listens to Me, and whoever rejects you rejects Me. Whoever rejects Me rejects Him Who sent Me.”
10:17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Master, even the demons are subject to us in Your Name!” (YaHuWaH IS Deliverance)
10:18 He said to them, “I was a Spectator of Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven. 10:19 Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing shall in any way hurt you. 10:20 Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the shadim are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in the heavens.”
10:21 At that moment, YaHuWSHuWaH rejoiced in Ruwach HaQadosh, and said, “I thank You, O Father, Master YaHuWaH, of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in Your sight.”
10:22 Turning to the taught ones, He said, “All things have been delivered to Me by My Father. No one knows Who the Son is, except the Father, and Who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal Him.”
10:23 Turning to the taught ones, He said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see, 10:24 for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.”
10:25 Behold, a certain Torah scholar stood up and tested Him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
10:26 He said to him, “What is written in the Torah? How do you read it?”
10:27 He answered, “You shall love YaHuWaH your Aluah with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and affectionately love your neighbor as yourself.”
10:28 He said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you shall live.”
10:29 But he, desiring to justify himself, asked YaHuWSHuWaH, “Who is my neighbor?”
10:30 YaHuWSHuWaH answered, “A certain man was going down from Yahrushalom to Yericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 10:31 By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 10:32 In the same way a Lewiy also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side. 10:33 But a certain Shomroniy, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion, 10:34 came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 10:35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said to him, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I shall repay you when I return.’ 10:36 Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
10:37 He said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then YaHuWSHuWaH said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
10:38 It happened as they went on their way, He entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received Him into her house. 10:39 She had a sister called Miryam, who also sat at YaHuWSHuWaH’s feet, and heard His word. 10:40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to Him, and said, “Master, don’t you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me.”
10:41 YaHuWSHuWaH answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, 10:42 but one thing is needed. Miryam has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”
11:1 It happened, that when He finished praying in a certain place, one of His taught ones said to Him, “Master, teach us to pray, just as Yahuwchanan also taught his taught ones.”
11:2 And YaHuWSHuWaH said to them, “When you pray, say,
‘Our Father Who is in the heavens, may Your name be kept Set-apart.
May Your Reign come.
May Your will be done on Earth, as it is in the heavens.
11:3 Grant us day by day our daily bread.
11:4 Release from us our sins, for we ourselves also set free everyone who is indebted to us. And do not let us be led into testing, rather rescue us from the evil one.’”
11:5 He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, 11:6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’ 11:7 and he from within shall answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’? 11:8 I tell you, although he shall not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he shall get up and give him as many as he needs.
11:9 “I tell you, keep asking, and it shall be given you. Keep seeking, and you shall find. Keep knocking, and it shall be opened to you. 11:10 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it shall be opened.
11:11 “Which of you Fathers, if your son asks for bread, shall give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, shall he? 11:12 Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, shall he? 11:13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give Ruwach HaQadosh to those who ask Him?”
11:14 YaHuWSHuWaH was casting out a demon, and it was mute. It happened, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled. 11:15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Ba'al Zebuwb, the prince of the demons.” 11:16 Others, testing Him, sought from Him a sign from heaven. 11:17 But YaHuWSHuWaH, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every reign divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls. 11:18 If satan also is divided against himself, how shall his reign stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Ba'al Zebuwb. 11:19 But if I cast out demons by Ba'al Zebuwb, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore shall they be your judges. 11:20 But if I by the Finger of YaHuWaH cast out demons, then the Reign of YaHuWaH has been offered to you.
11:21 “When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe. 11:22 But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils.
11:23 “He that is not with Me is against Me. He who doesn’t gather with Me indeed scatters. 11:24 The unclean shadim, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, ‘I shall turn back to my house from which I came out.’ 11:25 When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order. 11:26 Then he goes, and takes seven other shadims more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
11:27 It came to pass, as He said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!”
11:28 But He said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the Word of YaHuWaH, and guard it.”
11:29 When the multitudes were gathering together to Him, He began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign shall be given to it but the sign of Yonah, the prophet. 11:30 For even as Yonah became a sign to the Niyneweh, so shall also the Son of Adam be to this tribe. 11:31 The Queen of the South shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Shelomoh; and behold, One greater than Shelomoh is here. 11:32 The men of Niyneweh shall stand up in the judgment with this tribe, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the proclaiming of Yonah, and behold! A One greater than Yonah is here!
11:33 “No one, when he has lit a Lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the Light. [Ps. 119:105] 11:34 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of Light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness. 11:35 Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness. 11:36 If therefore your whole body is full of Light, having no part dark, it shall be wholly full of Light, as when the Lamp with its bright shining gives you Light.”
11:37 Now as He spoke, a certain Parash asked Him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table. 11:38 When the Parash saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed Himself before dinner. 11:39 The Master said to him, “Now you Parash cleanse the outside of the cup and the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness. 11:40 You foolish ones, didn’t He who made the outside make the inside also? 11:41 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things shall be clean to you. 11:42 But woe to you Parash! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and the love of YaHuWaH. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone. 11:43 Woe to you Parash! For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces. 11:44 Woe to you, scribes and Parash, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
11:45 One of the Torah scholars answered Him, “Teacher, in saying this You insult us also.”
11:46 He said, “Also, woe to you Torah scholars! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens! 11:47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 11:48 So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs. 11:49 Therefore also the wisdom of YaHuWaH said, ‘I shall send to them prophets and emissaries; and some of them they shall kill and persecute, 11:50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the disruption of the world, may be required of this generation; 11:51 from the blood of Habel to the blood of ZekarYahuw, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it shall be required of this generation. 11:52 Woe to you Torah scholars! For you took away the key of knowledge. [YaHuWaH's Name]You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
11:53 As He said these things to them, the scribes and the Parash began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of Him; 11:54 lying in wait for Him, and seeking to catch Him in something He might say, that they might accuse Him.
YashaYahuw 29: 19-21 The humble also shall increase their joy in YaHuWaH, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Kadosh One of Ysra'al. For the ruthless is brought to nothing, and the boastful one has proven to be a failure, and all those who look for opportunities to make trouble have been cut off— who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for the arbiter in the gate, or cause the righteous to be turned aside by a fabrication.
12:1 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, He began to tell His taught ones first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Parash, which is hypocrisy. 12:2 But there is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed, nor hidden, that shall not be known. 12:3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed on the housetops.
12:4 “I tell you, My friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 12:5 But I shall warn you whom you should fear. Fear Him, Who after He has killed, has power to cast into Gehinnom. [2nd death] Yes, I tell you, fear Him.
12:6 “Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by YaHuWaH. 12:7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
12:8 “I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, him shall the Son of Adam also confess before the Messengers of YaHuWaH; 12:9 but he who denies Me in the presence of men shall be denied in the presence of the Messengers of YaHuWaH. 12:10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Adam it shall be pardoned, but those who blaspheme against Ruwach HaQadosh it shall not be pardoned. 12:11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer, or what you will say; 12:12 for Ruwach HaQadosh shall teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
12:13 One of the multitude said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
12:14 But He said to him, “Man, who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?” 12:15 He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
12:16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly. 12:17 He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’ 12:18 He said, ‘This is what I shall do. I shall pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I shall store all my grain and my goods. 12:19 I shall tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, be merry.”’
12:20 “But YaHuWaH said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’ 12:21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward YaHuWaH.”
12:22 He said to His taught ones, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you shall eat, nor yet for your body, what you shall wear. 12:23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. 12:24 Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and YaHuWaH feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds! 12:25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height? 12:26 If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest? 12:27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Shelomoh in all his esteem was not arrayed like one of these. 12:28 But if this is how YaHuWaH clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more shall He clothe you, O you of little belief? 12:29 Don’t seek what you shall eat or what you shall drink; neither be anxious. 12:30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things. 12:31 But seek YaHuWaH’s Reign, and all these things shall be added to you. 12:32 Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. 12:33 Sell that which you have, and spread righteousness through charity. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys. 12:34 For where your treasure is, there shall your heart be also.
12:35 “Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning. 12:36 Be like men watching for their Master, when He returns from the marriage feast; that, when He comes and knocks, they may immediately open to Him. 12:37 Blessed are those servants, whom the Master shall find watching when He comes. Most certainly I tell you, that He shall dress Himself, and make them recline, and shall come and serve them. 12:38 They shall be blessed if He comes in the second or third watch, and finds them so. 12:39 But know this, that if the Master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not allowed his house to be broken into. 12:40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Adam is coming in an hour that you don’t expect Him.”
12:41 Kepha said to Him, “Master, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
12:42 The Master YaHuWSHuWaH said, “Who then is the trustworthy and wise steward, whom his Master shall set over His household, to give them their portion of food at the right times? 12:43 Blessed is that servant whom his Master shall find doing so when He comes. 12:44 Truly I tell you, that He shall set him over all that He has. 12:45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My Master delays His coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken, 12:46 then the Master of that servant shall come in a day when he isn’t expecting Him, and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and shall cut him in two, and place his portion with the unbelievers. 12:47 That servant, who knew his Master’s will, and didn’t prepare, nor do what He wanted, shall be beaten with many stripes, 12:48 but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. To whoever much is given, of him shall much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more shall be asked.
12:49 “I came to send fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled. 12:50 But I have a immersion to be immersed with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished! 12:51 Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division. 12:52 For from now on, there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 12:53 They shall be divided, Father against son, and son against Father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
12:54 He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens. 12:55 When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There shall be a scorching heat,’ and it happens. 12:56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this season? 12:57 Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right? 12:58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. 12:59 I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there, until you have paid the very last penny.”
13:1 Now there were some present at the same time who told Him about the Galiyliy, whose blood Pilatatos had mixed with their sacrifices. 13:2 YaHuWSHuWaH answered them, “Do you think that these Galiyliy were worse sinners than all the other Galiyliy, because they suffered such things? 13:3 I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you shall all perish in the same way. 13:4 Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Yahrushalom? 13:5 I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you shall all perish in the same way.”
[6-9) YaHuWaH is fertilizing the earth shortly prior to the annihilation]
13:6 He spoke this parable. “A certain Man had a fig tree (Edomite Yahuwdah) planted in His vineyard, and He came seeking fruit on it, and found none. 13:7 He said to the Vinedresser, ‘Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?’ 13:8 But the Vinedresser, responding, says ‘Master, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it. 13:9 If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, You can cut it down.’”
13:10 YaHuWSHuWaH was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Shabbath day. 13:11 Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself up. 13:12 When YaHuWSHuWaH saw her, He called her, and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.” 13:13 He laid His hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight, and she praised YaHuWaH.
13:14 The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because YaHuWSHuWaH had healed on the Shabbath, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Shabbath day!”
13:15 Therefore YaHuWSHuWaH answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Shabbath, and lead him away to water? 13:16 Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Shabbath day?”
13:17 As He said these things, all His adversaries were disappointed, and all the multitude rejoiced for all the wonderous things that were done by Him.
13:18 He said, “What is the Reign of YaHuWaH like? To what shall I compare it? 13:19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and put in his own garden. It grew, and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky lodged in its branches.”
13:20 Again he said, “To what shall I compare the Reign of YaHuWaH? 13:21 It is like leaven (Torahlessness), which a woman (symbolic of apostate religion) took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”
The Age of Desolation, the Age of Instruction and the Age of the Messiah:These three ages are compared to three measures of meal by Yahuwshuwah the Messiah. The Messiah taught in Matthew 13:33 and Luke 13:20-21 that during these three ages, which form the whole of The Present Age since the disruption of the world, the kingdom of Aluhim on earth has been leavened with spiritual, moral and political corruption. However, the Messiah will cleanse the earth from sin before the Age of Life begins according to Deuteronomy 32:22-29, Malachi 4:1-6 and Matthew 3:8-12 - Torah Calendar
13:22 He went on His way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Yahrushalom. 13:23 One said to Him, “My Master, are there few who are being saved/delivered?”
[Yahuw’El 2: 32] “And it shall be, everyone who shall have called on the Name of Yahuwah, he shall be delivered! For on the Mountain of Tsiyown and in Yahrushalom shall the escaped remnant be; just as Yahuwah said, even among the survivors whom Yahuwah is calling.”
YaHuWSHuWaH said to them, 13:24 “Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 13:25 When once the Master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Master, Master, open to us!’ then He shall answer and tell you, ‘I do not recognize you, from what origin are you?’
[“…recognize the origin you are from” means Yahuwah does not accept, condone, or endorse the Lie on which these lost sheep have founded themselves. Establishment translations suggest an impossibility, that He does not know where they come from.]
13:26 Then you shall begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’ 13:27 He shall say, ‘I tell you, I do not recognize the origin you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of the Lie.’
['"In the Peshitta Aramaic translation, the word here corresponds to the Ibriy (Hebrew) sheqer, meaning the Lie, the anointed falsifier and all false elohiym posing as Yahuwah.]
13:28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Yitshaq, Ya'aqob, and all the prophets, in the Reign of YaHuWaH, and yourselves being thrown outside.
[The house of racial Yahuwdah, having rejected YaHuWaH, is now divorced and the Phrushiym became their leaders by default. This is reflected in their calling their religious leaders “Rabbi”.]
13:29 They shall come from the east, west, north, and south, and shall sit down in the Reign of YaHuWaH. 13:30 Behold, there are some who are last who shall be foremost , and there are some who are foremost who shall be last.”
YashaYahuw 43:5 Don’t be afraid; for I AM with you. I shall bring your seed from the east, and gather you from the west. 43:6 I shall tell the north, ‘Give them up!’ and tell the south, ‘Don’t hold them back! Bring My sons from far, and My daughters from the ends of the earth— 43:7 everyone who is called by My Name, and whom I have created for My esteem, whom I have formed, indeed, I have even made him.’”
YeshaYahuw 27:12 It shall happen in that Day, that YaHuWaH shall thresh from the flowing stream of the Pharath to the brook of Mistrayim; and you shall be gathered one by one, descendants of Ysra'al. 27:13 It shall happen in that Day that a Great Shofar shall be blown (Day of Atonement); and those who were ready to perish in the land of Ashshuwr, and those who were outcasts in the land of Mistrayim, shall come; and they shall worship YaHuWaH in the qodesh mountain at Yahrushalom. (gathering of the living set-apart ones ----- Matt. 24:31& Marq 13:27 He shall send out His Messengers with the sound of the Great Shofar [Day of Atonement], and they shall gather together His chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
13:31 On that same day, some Parash came, saying to Him, “Get out of here, and go away, for Herodes wants to kill You.”
13:32 He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. 13:33 Nevertheless I must go on My way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can’t be that a prophet perish outside of Yahrushalom.’ (Rev. 11:6-10)
13:34 “Yahrushalom, Yahrushalom, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused! 13:35 Behold, your [divorced] house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you shall not see Me, until you say, *‘Blessed is He who comes in the Name of YaHuWaH !’” “Ba´ruwkh ha-ba’ be-she´m YaHuWaH! (Blessed is the One coming by the name of YaHuWaH!)’” [We from the House of YaHuWaH bless You! (Psalms 118: 26)]
*ZecharYahuw 12:10 I will pour on the House of Dawiyd, and on the inhabitants of Yahrushalom, the ruwach of acceptance/favour and of supplication [begging for favor]; and they will look on Me, Aleph wTaw, Whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for His only Son, and will grieve bitterly for Him, as one grieves over His Firstborn. This is a picture of the mass acceptance of Yahuwshuwah by Yahuwdah by the Power of the Ruwach. (Me is YaHuWaH .... Him is YaHuWSHuWaH)
[[Mal’akiy 2: 11] Yahuwdah has broken faith and a detestable thing has been committed in Ysra’al and in Yahrushalom, because Yahuwdah has profaned the Pure place of YaHuWaH that He loves, and he has taken as Lord a daughter of a foreign mighty one! May YaHuWaH cut off from the tents of Ya'aqob anyone who gives witness in behalf of the man who does this, though he brings offerings to YaHuWaH of Hosts!”]
14:1 It happened, when He went into the house of one of the rulers of the Parash on a Shabbath to eat bread, that they were watching Him. 14:2 Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of Him. 14:3 YaHuWSHuWaH spoke to the Torah scholars and Parash, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Shabbath?”
14:4 But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go. 14:5 He answered them, “Which of you, if your donkey or an ox fell into a pit, wouldn’t immediately pull him out on a Shabbath day?”
14:6 They couldn’t answer Him regarding these things.
14:7 He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when He noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them, 14:8 “When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more esteemable than you might be invited by him, 14:9 and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place. 14:10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you shall be esteemed in the presence of all who sit at the table with you. 14:11 For everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.”
14:12 He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back. 14:13 But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind; 14:14 and you shall be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you shall be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.” [1st Resurrection]
14:15 When one of those who sat at the table with Him heard these things, he said to Him, “Blessed is he who shall feast in the Reign of Aluah!”
14:16 But He said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people. 14:17 He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’ 14:18 They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.’
14:19 “Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
14:20 “Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’
14:21 “That servant came, and told 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 the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.’
14:22 “The servant said, ‘Master, it is done as You commanded, and there is still room.’
14:23 “The Master said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that My house may be filled. 14:24 For I tell you that none of those men who were invited shall taste of My supper.’”
14:25 Now great multitudes were going with Him. He turned and said to them, 14:26 “If anyone comes to Me, and doesn’t disregard his own Father , mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be My disciple. 14:27 Whoever doesn’t bear his own stake, and come after Me, can’t be My disciple. 14:28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it? 14:29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him, 14:30 saying, ‘This man began to build, and wasn’t able to finish.’ 14:31 Or what sovereign, as he goes to encounter another sovereign in war, shall not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 14:32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy, and asks for conditions of peace. 14:33 So therefore whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be My disciple. 14:34 Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it? 14:35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Five Parables
15:1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to Him to hear Him. 15:2 The Parash and the scribes murmured, saying, “This Man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
15:3 YaHuWSHuWaH told them this parable. (1.) 15:4 “Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it? 15:5 When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 15:6 When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ 15:7 I tell you that even so there shall be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
15:8 (2.) Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it? 15:9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost.’ 15:10 Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the Messengers of YaHuWaH over one sinner repenting.”
[Parable of Yahuwdah and Ysra'al/Efrayim]
15:11 (3.) He said, “A certain man had two sons. 15:12 The younger of them said to his Father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ He divided his livelihood between them. 15:13 Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living. 15:14 When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need. 15:15 He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs. 15:16 He wanted to fill his belly with the husks that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any. 15:17 But when he came to himself he said, ‘How many hired servants of my Father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger! 15:18 I shall get up and go to my Father , and shall tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. 15:19 I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
15:20 “He arose, and came to his Father. But while he was still far off, his Father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and running vigorously, fell on his neck, and kissed him. 15:21 The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
15:22 “But the Father (not listening) said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe, and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. 15:23 Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat, and celebrate; 15:24 for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’ They began to celebrate.
15:25 “Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 15:26 He called one of the servants to him, and asked what was going on. 15:27 He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your Father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’ 15:28 But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore his Father came out, and begged him. 15:29 But he answered his Father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never even gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends. 15:30 But when this, your son, came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
15:31 “He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. 15:32 But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’”
16:1 (4) He also said to His taught ones, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions. 16:2 He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
16:3 “The manager said within himself, ‘What shall I do, seeing that my Master is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg. 16:4 I know what I shall do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’ 16:5 Calling each one of his sovereign’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my sovereign?’ 16:6 He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’ 16:7 Then said he to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred cors of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’
16:8 “His sovereign commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the Light. 16:9 And would I say to you [sons of this age], make for yourselves friends [of the sons of Light] by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents [of the sons of Light]. 16:10 He who is trustworthy in a very little is trustworthy also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. 16:11 If therefore you have not been trustworthy in the unrighteous mammon, who shall commit to your trust the true riches? 16:12 If you have not been trustworthy in that which is another’s, who shall give you that which is your own? 16:13 No servant can serve two sovereigns, for either he shall hate the one, and love the other; or else he shall hold to one, and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve YaHuWaH and mammon [God/Fortune].”
16:14 The Parash, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at Him. 16:15 YaHuWSHuWaH said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but YaHuWaH knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men [Fortune] is an abomination in the sight of YaHuWaH.
16:16 The Torah and the Prophets are until Yahuwchanan. Since then the Reign of YaHuWaH is being announced, and everyone is doing violence upon it. 16:17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the Torah to fail. 16:18 Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery [compare YirmeYâhuw 3: 1]. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
[Mal’akiy 2: 11] '"“ Yahuwdah has broken faith and a detestable thing has been committed in Ysra'al and in Yahrushalom, because Yahuwdah has profaned the Pure place of YaHuWaH that He loves, and he has taken as Lord a daughter of a foreign mighty one! May YaHuWaH cut off from the tents of Ya'aqob anyone who gives witness in behalf of the man who does this, though he brings offerings to YaHuWaH of Hosts!”
16:19 (5.) “Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day. 16:20 A certain beggar, named El'azar, was laid at his gate, full of sores, 16:21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 16:22 It happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the Messengers to Abraham’s lap. The rich man also died, and was buried. 16:23 In Sheol, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and El'azar in his lap. 16:24 He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send El'azar, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’
16:25 “But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Al'azar, in like manner, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish. 16:26 Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that none may cross over from there to us.’
16:27 “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, Father , that you would send him to my Father's house; 16:28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’
16:29 “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moshah and the Prophets. Let them listen to them.’
16:30 “He said, ‘No, Father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they shall repent.’
16:31 “He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moshah and the Prophets, neither shall they be persuaded if One rises from the dead.’” [Malachi 4:4-5]
17:1 YaHuWSHuWaH said to the taught ones, “It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come! 17:2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble. 17:3 Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, pardon him. 17:4 If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall pardon him.”
17:5 The emissaries said to YaHuWSHuWaH, “Increase our belief.”
17:6 YaHuWSHuWaH said, “If you had belief like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. 17:7 But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that shall say, when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table,’ 17:8 and shall not rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me, while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’? 17:9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not. 17:10 Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have performed merely that which we owed to do [our duty].’”
17:11 It happened as He was on His way to Yahrushalom, that YaHuWSHuWaH was passing along the borders of Shomrown and Galiyl. 17:12 As He entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met Him, who stood at a distance. 17:13 They lifted up their voices, saying, “ Master YaHuWSHuWaH, have mercy on us!”
17:14 When He saw them, He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” It happened that as they went, they were cleansed. 17:15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising YaHuWaH with a loud voice. 17:16 He fell on his face at YaHuWSHuWaH’s feet, giving Him thanks; and he was a Shomroniy. 17:17 YaHuWSHuWaH answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine? 17:18 Were there none found who returned to give Praise to YaHuWaH, except this foreigner ?” 17:19 Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your belief has given you life.”
17:20 Being asked by the Parash when the Reign of YaHuWaH would come, He answered them, “The Reign of YaHuWaH doesn’t come with observation; 17:21 neither shall they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, the Royalty of YaHuWaH is in your midst.”
17:22 He said to the taught ones, “The days shall come, when you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Adam, and you shall not see it. 17:23 They shall tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away, nor follow after them, 17:24 for as the lightning, when it flashes out of the one part under the sky, shines to the other part under the sky; so shall the Son of Adam be in His day. 17:25 But first, He must suffer many things and be rejected by this stock. 17:26 As it happened in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Adam. 17:27 They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 17:28 Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lowt: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 17:29 but in the day that Lowt went out from Sedom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky, and destroyed them all. 17:30 It shall be the same way in the day that the Son of Adam is revealed. 17:31 In that day, he who shall be on the housetop (sukkot's were built here), and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field (sukkot's were built here) likewise not turn back. 17:32 Remember Lowt’s wife! 17:33 Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it. 17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two people in one bed. The one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 17:35 There shall be two grinding grain together. One shall be taken, and the other shall be left.” 17:36 Two shall be in the field, the one shall be taken and the other shall be left.
17:37 They, answering, asked Him, “Where shall they be taken, our Master?”
He said to them, “ To where the carcass is. There will those buzzards be gathered together.” [the wicked are gathered first - then the righteous.] Rev. 19:17-18
18:1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up, 18:2 saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear YaHuWaH, and didn’t respect man. 18:3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’ 18:4 He wouldn’t for a while, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear YaHuWaH, nor respect man, 18:5 yet because this widow bothers me, I shall defend her, or else she shall wear me out by her continual coming.’”
18:6 The Master said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says. 18:7 Won’t YaHuWaH avenge His chosen ones, who are crying out to Him day and night, and yet He exercises patience with them? 18:8 I tell you that He shall avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Adam comes, shall He find belief on the earth?”
18:9 He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others. 18:10 “Two men went up into the Miqdash to pray; one was a Parash, and the other was a tax collector. 18:11 The Parash stood and prayed to himself like this: ‘YaHuWaH, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 18:12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’ 18:13 But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘YaHuWaH, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, but he who humbles himself shall be exalted.”
18:15 They were also bringing their babies to Him, that He might touch them. But when the taught ones saw it, they rebuked them. 18:16 YaHuWSHuWaH summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to Me, and don’t hinder them, for the Reign of YaHuWaH belongs to such as these. 18:17 Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive the Reign of YaHuWaH like a little child, he shall in no way enter into it.”
18:18 A certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
18:19 YaHuWSHuWaH asked him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good, except One—YaHuWaH. 18:20 You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false witness,’ ‘Honor your Father and your mother.’”
18:21 He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
18:22 When YaHuWSHuWaH heard these things, He said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You shall have treasure in heaven. Come, follow Me.”
18:23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
18:24 YaHuWSHuWaH, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into the Reign of YaHuWaH! 18:25 For it is easier for a rope to enter in through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Reign of YaHuWaH.”
18:26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
18:27 But He said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with YaHuWaH.”
18:28 Kepha said, “Look, we have left everything, and followed You.”
18:29 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the Reign of YaHuWaH’s sake, 18:30 who shall not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.” - (Olam haba)
18:31 He took the twelve aside, and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Yahrushalom, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Adam shall be completed. 18:32 For He shall be delivered up to the heathen, shall be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on. 18:33 They shall scourge and kill Him. On the third day, He shall rise again.”
18:34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said. 18:35 It happened, as He came near Yericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging. 18:36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant. 18:37 They told him that YaHuWSHuWaH of Nazareth was passing by. 18:38 He cried out, “YaHuWSHuWaH, You Son of Dawiyd, have mercy on me!” 18:39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You Son of Dawiyd, have mercy on me!”
18:40 Standing still, YaHuWSHuWaH commanded him to be brought to Him. When he had come near, He asked him, 18:41 “What do you want Me to do?”
He said, “My Master, that I may see again.”
18:42 YaHuWSHuWaH said to him, “Receive your sight. Your belief has healed you.”
18:43 Immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, praising YaHuWaH. All the people, when they saw it, praised YaHuWaH.
19:1 He entered and was passing through Yericho. 19:2 There was a man named Zakkay. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. 19:3 He was trying to see who YaHuWSHuWaH was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short. 19:4 He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a barren tree to see Him, for YaHuWSHuWaH was to pass that way. 19:5 When YaHuWSHuWaH came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zakkay, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” 19:6 He hurried, came down, and received Him joyfully. 19:7 When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”
19:8 Zakkay stood and said to YaHuWSHuWaH, “Behold, my Master, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”
19:9 YaHuWSHuWaH said to him, “Today, deliverance has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham. 19:10 For the Son of Adam came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
19:11 As they heard these things, He went on and told a parable, because He was near Yahrushalom, and they supposed that the Reign of YaHuWaH would be revealed immediately. 19:12 He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for Himself a reign, and to return. 19:13 He called ten servants of His, and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’ 19:14 But His citizens hated Him, and sent an envoy after Him, saying, ‘We don’t want this Man to reign over us.’
19:15 “It happened when He had come back again, having received the reign, that He commanded these servants, to whom He had given the money, to be called to Him, that He might know what they had gained by conducting business. 19:16 The first came before Him, saying, ‘Master, your mina has made ten more minas.’
19:17 “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found trustworthy with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
19:18 “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Master, has made five minas.’
19:19 “So He said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’ 19:20 Another came, saying, ‘Master, behold, Your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief, 19:21 for I feared You, because You are an exacting Man. You take up that which You didn’t lay down, and reap that which You didn’t sow.’
19:22 “He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth shall I judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting Man, taking up that which I didn’t lay down, and reaping that which I didn’t sow. 19:23 Then why didn’t you deposit My money in the bank, and at My coming, I might have earned interest on it?’ 19:24 He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.’
19:25 “They said to Him, ‘Master, he has ten minas!’ 19:26 ‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, shall more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has shall be taken away from him. 19:27 But bring those enemies of Mine who didn’t want Me to reign over them here, and kill them before Me.’” 19:28 Having said these things, He went on ahead, going up to Yahrushalom.
19:29 It happened, when He drew near to Bayith Pag and Bayith Any, at the mountain that is called Olivet, He sent two of His taught ones, 19:30 saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat. Untie it, and bring it. 19:31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘Our Master needs it.’”
19:32 Those who were sent went away, and found things just as He had told them. 19:33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 19:34 They said, “Our Master needs it.” 19:35 They brought it to YaHuWSHuWaH. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set YaHuWSHuWaH on them. 19:36 As He went, they spread their cloaks in the way. 19:37 As He was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the taught ones began to rejoice and praise YaHuWaH with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen, 19:38 saying, “Blessed is our King Who comes in the Name of Master YaHuWaH ! Peace in heaven, and esteem in the highest!”
19:39 Some of the Parash from the multitude said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your taught ones!”
19:40 He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would scream out.”
19:41 When He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, 19:42 saying, “If you, even you, had known today the matters which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes. 19:43 For the days shall come on you, when your enemies shall throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side, 19:44 and shall dash you and your children within you to the ground. They shall not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”
(Daniel 9:24-25 Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and on your holy city, to finish disobedience, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy. [7 things] Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Yahrushalom to the Anointed One, the prince, shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks:) [This is the only allusion to this text in all of the Apostolic Writings!]
19:45 YaHuWSHuWaH entered into the Miqdash, and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it, 19:46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My House is a House of prayer,’but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”
19:47 He was teaching daily in the Miqdash, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people sought to destroy Him. 19:48 They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that He said.
20:1 It happened on one of those days, as He was teaching the people in the Miqdash and proclaiming the Besorah, that the priests and scribes came to Him with the elders. 20:2 They asked Him, “Tell us: by what authority do You do these things? Or Who is giving You this authority?”
20:3 YaHuWSHuWaH answered them, “I also shall ask you one question. Tell me: 20:4 the immersion of Yahuwchanan, was it authorized from heaven, or from men?”
20:5 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He shall say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’ 20:6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people shall stone us, for they are persuaded that Yahuwchanan was a prophet.” 20:7 They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
20:8 YaHuWSHuWaH said to them, “Neither shall I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
20:9 He began to tell the people this parable. “A Man planted a vineyard, and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time. 20:10 At the proper season, He sent a servant to the farmers to collect His share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him, and sent him away empty. 20:11 He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. 20:12 He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him, and threw him out. 20:13 The Master of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I shall send My Beloved Son. It may be that seeing Him, they shall respect Him.’
20:14 “But when the farmers saw Him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the Heir. Come, let’s kill Him, that the inheritance may be ours.’ 20:15 They threw Him out of the vineyard, and killed Him. What therefore shall the Master of the vineyard do to them? 20:16 He shall come and destroy these farmers, and shall give the vineyard to others.”
When they understood it, they said, “May it never be!”
20:17 But He looked at them, and said, “Then what is this that is written,
‘The Stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the Chief Cornerstone?’ This is YaHuWaH's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes.' (said 7 times in the Scriptures)
20:18 Everyone who falls on that Stone shall be broken to pieces, but it shall crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
[Daniel 2: 34, 35] [ While you were gazing, a building-stone was cut out but not by hands, and It struck on the statue on its feet of the iron and the clay and It shattered them. And then were pulverized the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, and they became like chaff from the threshing floors of harvest, and the wind swept them away, and there was not found any traces of them.]
20:19 The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on Him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew He had spoken this parable against them. 20:20 So having insidiously watched Him, they sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap Him in something He said, so as to deliver Him up to the power and authority of the governor.
20:21 Instructor, we discern that You speak and instruct correctly, and You do not accept anyone's aspect, rather, you teach the Way of Aluah (the Mighty Being) in Truth.
[This demonstrates that the Phrushíym indeed knew the proper name of our persuasion, The Way of YaHuWaH, though they gave it a derogatory name “sect of the Natsariym” later.]
20:22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Kaisar, or not?”
20:23 But He perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test Me? 20:24 Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?”
They answered, “Kaisar’s.”
20:25 He said to them, “Then give to Kaisar the things that are Kaisar’s, and to YaHuWaH the things that are YaHuWaH’s.”
20:26 They weren’t able to trap Him in His words before the people. They marveled at His answer, and were silent. 20:27 Some of the Tsadowq came to Him, those who deny that there is a resurrection. 20:28 They asked Him, “Teacher, Moshah wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up children for his brother. 20:29 There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless. 20:30 The second took her as wife, and he died childless. 20:31 The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died. 20:32 Afterward the woman also died. 20:33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them shall she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
20:34 YaHuWSHuWaH said to them, “ Don't you err due to this: not understanding the scriptures, nor the Power of YaHuWaH? [Mark 12: 24] The children of this age marry, and are given in marriage. 20:35 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. 20:36 For they can’t die any more, for they are like the Messengers, and are sons of YaHuWaH, being sons of the resurrection. 20:37 But that the dead are raised, even Moshah showed at the bush, when he called YaHuWaH ‘The Aluah of Abraham, the Aluah of Yitschaq, and the Aluah of Ya'aqob.’ 20:38 Now He is not the Aluah of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to Him!” "Therefore you do err greatly."[Mark 12: 27]
20:39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.” 20:40 They didn’t dare to ask Him any more questions.
20:41 So He said to them, “Why do they say that the Anointed is Dawiyd’s Son? 20:42 Dawiyd himself says in the scroll of Psalms, ‘YaHuWaH said to my Foundation,“Sit at My right hand, 20:43 until I make Your enemies the footstool of Your feet.”’
[“An oracle of Yahuwah for Adníy (my Foundation): ’Adníy, meaning my ’Adén in `Ibríyth (Hebrew), means a basis (of a building, a column, etc.): ---foundation, socket, [Strong’s #134]. And per other lexicons, a pedestal or any foundation. Ps. 110:1]
20:44 “Dawiyd therefore calls him "my Foundation", so how is He his Son?”
20:45 In the hearing of all the people, He said to His taught ones, 20:46 “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts; 20:47 who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.”
21:1 YaHuWSHuWaH looked up, and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury. 21:2 He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins. 21:3 He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them, 21:4 for all these put in gifts for YaHuWaH from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on.”
21:5 As some were talking about the Miqdash and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, YaHuWSHuWaH said, 21:6 “As for these things which you see, the days shall come, in which there shall not be left here one stone on another that shall not be thrown down.” [70 CE]
(70 CE on the 9th of Abib/10th of Aug. The same date in 586 BCE that Yahrushalom was breached by the Babylonians and one month later the Temple burned.)
And as Yahuwshuwah was sitting at the Mount of the Olives opposite of the temple, Këph and Ya'aqob and Yahuwchanan asked Him privately, [Mark 13: 3] saying:
“Instructor, when, then, shall these things be? And what is the sign of Your coming and of the conclusion of the age, [MattithYâ´huw 24: 3] when these things are about to take place?”
21:7 They asked Him, “Teacher, so when shall these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”
21:8 YaHuWSHuWaH said, “Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many shall come against My Name, yet saying, ‘I am the Anointed One,’ and, ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow them. 21:9 When you hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified, for these things must happen first, nevertheless, the final event is not next.”
1 Kepha 1:5 ... who are protected by the Power of YaHuWaH through belief for a rescue ready to be revealed in the final decisive epoch. "...... for a rescue ready to be disclosed during a latter feast season! [Yowm Kippur, Deuteronomy 32: 42] ]
21:10 Then He said to them, “Ethnic group shall rise against ethnic group, and reign against reign. 21:11 There shall be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There shall be terrors and great signs from heaven. (Debarim 32:22-25) [Not until the 6th Seal] 21:12 But before all these things, they shall lay their hands on you and shall persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My Name’s sake. 21:13 It shall turn out as a witness for you. 21:14 Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer, 21:15 for I shall give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries shall not be able to withstand or to contradict. [Mark 13:11 When they lead you away and deliver you up, don’t be anxious beforehand, or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Ruwach haQadosh.]
21:16 You shall be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They shall cause some of you to be put to death. 21:17 You shall be hated by all for My Name’s sake. 21:18 And not a hair of your head shall perish. 21:19 “By your endurance you shall win your lives.
21:20 “But when you see Yahrushalom surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.
[YirmeYahuw 1: 14-16] [ And YaHuWaH said to me: "From the north the disaster will be poured out upon all of the inhabitants of the Land, 15. because here I am summoning all of the families of the kingdoms of the north," declares YaHuWaH, "And they will come and they will each set up his throne at the entrance of the gates of Yahrushalom and against all of her walls surrounding and against all of the towns of Yahuwdah. 16. And I will pronounce My judgments on My people because of all of their wickedness when they forsook Me and they burned incense to other mighty ones and they worshipped the things their hands made.]
21:21 Then let those who are in Yahuwdah flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the midst of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein. 21:22 For these are the Days of Retribution, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 21:23 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days! For there shall be great distress in the Land, and wrath to this people. 21:24 They shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all the nations. Yahrushalom shall be trampled down by the heathen, until the times of the nations are fulfilled. [42 months - Rev. 11 & 13]
[Ps. 79:1 Aluah, the nations have come into Your inheritance. They have defiled Your set-apart Hekal. They have laid Yahrushalom in heaps.]
[YirmeYahuw 13: 19-26, 19. The cities of the south will be closed off, and no one will be able to open them, all of Yahuwdah will be taken captive. The disclosure of the Retribution (Ha-ğlâ´th shilluwmíym:).
20. Lift up your eyes and see the invaders from the north! Where is the flock which was entrusted to you, the sheep of your boasting?
21. What will you say when He sets over you as head those whom you have cultivated as allies? Will pains not grip you like a woman in labor?
22. And as you ask in your heart, "Why did these things happen to me?" By the multitude of your sins were your skirts torn off and your hind parts were mistreated!
23. Can a Kuwshíy change his skin, or a leopard change his spots? Also you, can you do goodness, who are accustomed to do evil?
24. So I will scatter them like the chaff which is driven by the desert wind!
25. This is your lot, the portion I have decreed for you, declares YaHuWaH,
26. Because you have forgotten Me and you have trusted in the Lie.
50: 41-45 '"41. Look! An army is coming from the north and a great heathen mass, and many kings are stirred up from the ends of the earth!
42. They are armed with a bow and a spear, cruel they are and they do not have mercy! The sound of them is like the sea when it roars, and they ride on horses, in formation like men of war against you, daughter of Babel!
43. The King of Babel heard their sound and his hands hang limp; anguish gripped him, pain like the woman in labor!, Daniy'Al 11: 30, Psalms 69: 22]
21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves; (… and strange tides. NLT)
(“the raging seas and tumult…”) [YashaYahuw 17: 12-13)] Woe to the uproar of many peoples, who roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters! The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but He shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.]
21:26 men exhausted from trembling with fear, and apprehension of what is coming on the earth: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. [ Instead, immediately after the crowd-oppression of those days, the sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon shall not give her light, and those stars shall fall out from the heavens, with the forces of the heavens, they shall be toppled. And then shall the Sign of the Son of Adam appear in the skies, and then shall all the races of the earth beat their breasts in grief, and then they shall see the Son of Adam, coming in a cloud with Force and great Esteem and great radiance. [MattithYahuw 24: 29-32] And then He will send forth His envoys [Mark 13: 27] with the sound of a great Shofar [MattithYahuw 24: 31], and will assemble upon Tsiyown His selected ones from the four winds, from the extremity of the earth unto the extremity of the skies. [Mark 13: 27]
21:27 Then they shall see the Son of Adam coming in a cloud with Power and great Splendor. 21:28 But when these things begin to happen, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”
[Matt. 24:29 But immediately after the oppression of those days, the sun shall be darkened, the moon shall not give its light, the stars shall fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken; 24:30 and then the sign of the Son of Adam shall appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the Land shall mourn, ... [Zech. 12:9 It shall happen in that day, that I shall seek to destroy all the nations that come against Yahrushalom. 12:10 I shall pour on the house of Dawiyd, and on the inhabitants of Yahrushalom, the Ruwach of favour and of supplication; and they shall look to Me, Aleph Taw, whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for His only Son, and shall grieve bitterly for Him, as one grieves for His Firstborn.] .... and they shall see the Son of Adam coming on the clouds of the sky with Power and great Esteem. 24:31 And He shall send out His Messengers with the sound of the Great Shofar, and they shall gather together His chosen ones from the four winds, from one end to the sky to the other.] [this is the gathering of His living ones - the dead were raised 10 days earlier at Yom Teruach] (Note * 24:31: The Great Shofar is blown on Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement), and is representative of, and blown in introduction of, the Jubilee Year. - the dead are raises 10 days earlier at the" " last trumpet" - the last of the 7 trumpets of Rev.)]
21:29 YaHuWSHuWaH told them a parable. “See the fig tree, and all the trees. 21:30 When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near. 21:31 Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that the Reign of YaHuWaH is near. 21:32 Most certainly I tell you, this age shall not pass away until all things are accomplished. 21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall by no means pass away.
21:34 “So be careful, or your hearts shall be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and That Day shall come on you suddenly. 21:35 For it shall come like a trap on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth. 21:36 Therefore be watchful in every feast season, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that shall happen, and to stand before the Son of Adam.”
21:37 Every day YaHuWSHuWaH was teaching in the Miqdash, and every night He would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet. 21:38 All the people came early in the morning to Him in the Miqdash to hear Him.
22:1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Pesach, drew near. 22:2 The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put Him to death, for they feared the people. 22:3 And haSatan entered into Yehudah, who was surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered with the twelve. 22:4 He went away, and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver Him to them. 22:5 They were glad, and agreed to give him money. 22:6 He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver Him to them in the absence of the multitude.
22:7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, on which the Pesach must be sacrificed. 22:8 He sent Kepha and Yahuwchanan, saying, “Go and prepare the Pesach for us, that we may eat.”
22:9 They said to Him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”
22:10 He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water shall meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters. 22:11 Tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where My talmidim may eat the Pesach together?”’ 22:12 He shall show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”
22:13 They went, found things as He had told them, and they prepared the Pesach. 22:14 When the hour had come, He sat down with the twelve emissaries. 22:15 He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat the Pesach with you before I suffer, 22:16 but I say to you: I will not eat of it until it is fulfilled in the Reign of YaHuWaH.”
(Yahuwshuwah never ate of the "traditional" Pesach supper which was on the evening after the slaughter of the lamb. The wordings in verses 22:7-8 are misleading. The meal they ate was the same one of Yahuwchanan 13:1 - which was on the evening of the 13 of Abib - not the evening of the 14 at which time Yahuwshuwah was dead.)
22:17 He received a cup, and when He had given thanks, He said, “Take this, and share it among yourselves, 22:18 but I tell you, I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the Reign of YaHuWaH comes.”
22:19 He took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it, and gave to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you. Do this in memory of Me.” 22:20 Likewise, He took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the renewed covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you for liberation from sins. 22:21 But behold, the hand of him who betrays Me is with Me on the table. 22:22 The Son of Adam indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom He is turned over!”
22:23 They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing. 22:24 There arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest. 22:25 YaHuWSHuWaH said to them, “The kings of the nations Master it over them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’ 22:26 But not so with you. But one who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves. 22:27 For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn’t it he who sits at the table? But I AM in the midst of you as One Who serves. 22:28 But you are those who have continued with Me in My trials.
22:29 I confer on you a reign, even as My Father conferred on Me, 22:30 that you may eat and drink at My table in My Reign. You shall sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Ysra'al.”
("And I covenant for you, as My Father covenanted for Me, a reign, to eat and drink at My table, in My reign, and to sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Ysra'al.") alternate reading
22:31 The Master said, “Shim'own, Shim'own, behold, satan asked to have you, that he might sift all of you as wheat, 22:32 but I prayed for you, that your belief wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.”
22:33 He said to Him, “Master, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death!”
22:34 He said, “I tell you, Kepha, the rooster shall by no means crow twice today until you deny that you know Me three times.”
22:35 He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, and wallet, and shoes, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”
22:36 Then He said to them, “But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword. 22:37 For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in Me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ YashaYahuw 53:12 For the things concerning me have an end.”
22:38 They said, “Master, behold, here are two swords.”
He said to them, “That is enough.”
22:39 He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His taught ones also followed Him. 22:40 When He was at the place, He said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”
22:41 He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He fell to His knees and prayed, 22:42 saying, “Father , if you are willing, remove this cup from Me. Nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done.”
[these next two verses not in original text]
22:43 An Messenger from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him. 22:44 Being in agony He prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
22:45 When He rose up from His prayer, He came to the taught ones, and found them sleeping because of grief, 22:46 and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
22:47 While He was still speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who was called Yehudah, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to YaHuWSHuWaH to kiss Him. 22:48 But YaHuWSHuWaH said to him, “ Yehudah, do you turn over the Son of Adam with a kiss?”
22:49 When those who were around Him saw what was about to happen, they said to Him, “Master, shall we strike with the sword?” 22:50 A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
22:51 But YaHuWSHuWaH answered, “Let Me at least do this”—and He touched his ear, and healed him. 22:52 YaHuWSHuWaH said to the chief priests, captains of the Miqdash, and elders, who had come against Him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs? 22:53 When I was with you in the Miqdash daily, you didn’t stretch out your hands against Me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”
22:54 They seized Him, and led Him away, and brought Him into the high priest’s house. But Kepha followed from a distance. 22:55 When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and had sat down together, Kepha sat among them. 22:56 A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, “This man also was with Him.”
22:57 He denied YaHuWSHuWaH, saying, “Woman, I don’t know Him.” And he exited outside into the forecourt, and a cock crowed. [Mark 14: 68]
22:58 After a little while someone else saw him, and said, “You also are one of them!” But Kepha answered, “Man, I am not!”
22:59 After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Truly this man also was with Him, for he is of Galiyl!”
22:60 But Kepha said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed a second time. 22:61 The Master turned, and looked at Kepha. Then Kepha remembered the Master’s word, how He said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice you shall deny Me three times.” 22:62 He went out, and wept bitterly.
22:63 The men who held YaHuWSHuWaH mocked Him and beat Him. 22:64 Having blindfolded Him, they struck Him on the face and asked Him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck You?” 22:65 They spoke many other things against Him, insulting Him.
22:66 As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him away into their council, saying, 22:67 “If You are the Anointed, tell us.”
But he said to them, “If I tell you, you won’t believe, 22:68 and if I ask, you shall in no way answer Me or let Me go. 22:69 From now on, the Son of Adam shall be seated at the right hand of the Power of YaHuWaH.”
22:70 They all said, “ Then you Are the Son of Aluah?”
He said to them, “You say it, because I AM.” [’Ahayah (I always shall be)]
22:71 They said, “Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from His own mouth!”
23:1 The whole company of them rose up and brought Him before Pilatos. 23:2 They began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this Man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Kaisar, and saying that he Himself is Anointed, a King.”
23:3 Pilate asked Him, “ You are the King of the Yahuwdim?”
YashaYahuw 53:2 For He grew up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no form nor comeliness. When we see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him. LXX: “His form was ignoble and inferior to that of the children of men.”(Pilatus said to Him, "You, are the King of the Yahuwdim?"
He answered him, “So you say.”
23:4 Pilatos said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this Man.” (He was inspected and declared faultless)
23:5 But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Yahuwdah, beginning from Galiyl even to this place.” 23:6 But when Pilatos heard Galiyl mentioned, He asked if the man was of Galiyl. 23:7 When He found out that he was in Herodes’s jurisdiction, He sent him to Herodes, who was also in Yahrushalom during those days.
23:8 Now when Herodes saw YaHuWSHuWaH, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard many things about Him. He hoped to see some miracle done by Him. 23:9 He questioned Him with many words, but He gave no answers. 23:10 The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing Him. 23:11 Herodes with his soldiers humiliated Him and mocked Him. Dressing Him in luxurious clothing, they sent Him back to Pilate. 23:12 Herodes and Pilatos became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
23:13 Pilatos called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 23:14 and said to them, “You brought this Man to me as one that perverts the people, and see, I have examined Him before you, and found no basis for a charge against this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him. 23:15 Neither has Herodes, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by Him. 23:16 I shall therefore chastise Him and release Him.”
23:17 Now it was a custom for Pilatos to release one prisoner to them at the feast. ??? 23:18 But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this Man! Release to us Bar-Abba!” (son of the father)— 23:19 one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
23:20 Then Pilatos spoke to them again, wanting to release YaHuWSHuWaH, 23:21 but they shouted, saying, “Nail Him to the stake! Nail Him to the stake!”
23:22 He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this Man done? I have found no capital crime in Him. I shall therefore chastise Him and release Him.” 23:23 But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that He might be nailed to the stake. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed. 23:24 Pilatos decreed that what they asked for should be done. 23:25 He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered YaHuWSHuWaH up to their will.
23:26 When they led Him away, they grabbed one Shim'own of Kurene, coming from the country, and laid on him the execution stake, to carry it after YaHuWSHuWaH. 23:27 A great multitude of the people followed Him, including women who also mourned and lamented Him. 23:28 But YaHuWSHuWaH, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Yahrushalom, don’t weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 23:29 For behold, the days are coming in which they shall say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’ 23:30 - that is when you shall begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’ 23:31 For if they do these things in a rain-watered tree, what shall be done in the dried tree?”
Howshea 10:8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Ysra'al, will be destroyed.The thorn and the thistle will come up on their altars.They will tell the mountains, “Cover us!” and the hills, “Fall on us!”
23:32 There were also others, two criminals, led with Him to be put to death. 23:33 When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they impaled Him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
[not in original text - this does not fit well with other texts in Tehillim where just the opposite is proclaimed]
23:34 YaHuWSHuWaH said, Father pardon them for they know not what they do.
[“Father , pardon them not, for they know what they do.” [possible Greek translation]
Dividing His garments among them, they cast lots. 23:35 The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at Him, saying, “He saved others. Let Him save Himself, if this is the Anointed of Aluah, His Chosen One!”
23:36 The soldiers also mocked Him, coming to Him and offering Him vinegar, 23:37 and saying, “If you are the King of the Yahuwdim, save Yourself!”
23:38 An inscription was also written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS ONE IS YaHuWSHuWaH THE NETSRIY: THE SOVEREIGN OF THE YAHUWDIM.”
23:39 One of the criminals who was hanged insulted Him, saying, “If you are the Anointed, save Yourself and us!”
23:40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear Aluah, seeing you are under the same condemnation? 23:41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this Man has done nothing wrong.” 23:42 He said to YaHuWSHuWaH, “Master, remember me when You come into your Reign.”
23:43 YaHuWSHuWaH said to him, “Truly I say to you today *, you shall be with me in Paradise.” (Chayei Olam)
*[This is a Hebrew idiom, a solemn idiom, used for greater emphasis, used no less than 42 times in the book of Debarim!]
23:44 It was now about the sixth hour [noon], and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour [around 3 P.M.]. 23:45 The sun was darkened, and the veil of the Miqdash was torn in two. 23:46 YaHuWSHuWaH, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Ruwach !” Having said this, He breathed His last.
23:47 When the centurion saw what was done, he praised Aluah, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous Man.” 23:48 All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts. 23:49 All His acquaintances, and the women who followed with Him from Galiyl, stood at a distance, watching these things.
[He was assigned His grave with wicked ones , But a rich man’s one at His death… ] YashaYahuw 53: 9)
23:50 Behold, a man named Yowseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man 23:51 (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Ramah, a city of the Yahuwdim, who was also waiting for the Reign of YaHuWaH: 23:52 this man went to Pilatos, and asked for YaHuWSHuWaH’s body. 23:53 He took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid. 23:54 It was the day of the Preparation [Abib 14], and the Shabbath was drawing near. (the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread - a high Shabbath) 23:55 The women, who had come with Him out of Galiyl, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how His body was laid. 23:56 They returned, and prepared spices and ointments. [on the next day - day 6] On the Shabbath they rested according to the commandment. [Commanded weekly Shabbath rest]
24:1 But on the first day of the week, after the setting of the sun [after Shabbat sunset], they and some others came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
Matt. AENT: Chp. 28:1-2 Now in the closing (evening) of the Shabbath, as the first of the week was dawning, came Maryam of Magdla and the other Maryam that they might see the grave. And behold a great earthquake occurred for a Messenger of Master YaHuWaH descended from heaven came and rolled away the boulder from the entrance, and he was sitting on it. ...

24:2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 24:3 They entered in, and didn’t find the Master YaHuWSHuWaH’s body. 24:4 It happened, while they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing. 24:5 Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. [He arose on Shabbath - 3 days - 72 hours - after He was placed in the tomb on the 4th day, Pesach.]
They said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 24:6 He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what He told you when He was still in Galiyl, 24:7 saying that the Son of Adam must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be impaled, and the third day rise again?”
24:8 They remembered His words, 24:9 returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. 24:10 Now they were Miryam Migdal, Yahuwchanan, and Miryam the mother of Ya'aqob. The other women with them told these things to the emissaries. 24:11 These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn’t believe them. 24:12 But Kepha got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened.
24:13 Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Yahrushalom. 24:14 They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened. 24:15 It happened, while they talked and questioned together, that YaHuWSHuWaH Himself came near, and went with them. 24:16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him. 24:17 He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?”
24:18 One of them, named Kleopas, answered Him, “Are you the only stranger in Yahrushalom who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?”
24:19 He said to them, “What things?”
They said to Him, “The things concerning YaHuWSHuWaH, the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and Word before YaHuWaH and all the people; 24:20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him up to be condemned to death, and crucified Him. 24:21 But we were hoping that it was He who would redeem Ysra'al. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened. 24:22 Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb; 24:23 and when they didn’t find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of Messengers, who said that He was alive. 24:24 Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just like the women had said, but they didn’t see Him.”
24:25 He said to them, “Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 24:26 Didn’t the Anointed have to suffer these things and to enter into His Esteem?” 24:27 Beginning from Moshah and from all the prophets, He explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself. 24:28 They drew near to the village, where they were going, and He acted like He would go further.
24:29 They urged Him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over.”
He went in to stay with them. 24:30 It happened, that when He had sat down at the table with them, He took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, He gave to them. 24:31 Their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him, and he vanished out of their sight. 24:32 They said one to another, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us, while He spoke to us along the way, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?” 24:33 They rose up that very hour, returned to Yahrushalom, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them, 24:34 saying, “The Master is risen indeed, and has appeared to Shim'own!” 24:35 They related the things that happened along the way, and how He was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
24:36 As they said these things, YaHuWSHuWaH Himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be to you. It is I, do not be afraid.”
24:37 But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
24:38 He said to them, “Why are you agitated? Why do questionings come up within your hearts? 24:39 Look at My hands and My feet, because I AM HE. Touch Me and see, for a ruwach doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.” 24:40 When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. 24:41 While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, He said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
24:42 They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb. 24:43 He took them, and ate in front of them. 24:44 He said to them, “This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the Torah of Moshah, the Prophets, and the Tehillim, concerning Me must be fulfilled.”
24:45 Then He opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures. 24:46 He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Anointed to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, 24:47 and that repentance for remission of sins should be preached in His Name to all the nations, beginning at Yahrushalom. 24:48 You are witnesses of these things. 24:49 Behold, I send forth the promise of My Father on you. But wait in the city of Yahrushalom until you are clothed with Power from on High.”
24:50 He led them out as far as Bayith Any, and He lifted up His hands, and blessed them. 24:51 It happened, while He blessed them, that He withdrew from them, and was carried up into heaven. 24:52 They having bowed down to Him, and returned to Yahrushalom with great joy, 24:53 and were continually in the Miqdash [Temple], praising and blessing YaHuWaH. Oh Yes!
