Read Luke 1

Luke1

¹Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,

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

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

⁴That youi might know the certainty of those things, wherein youi have been instructed.

⁵There was in the days of Herod [heroic], the king of Y’hudah [praised], a certain priest named Z’kharyah [remembered by Yehovah], of the course of Aviyah [Yah is my father]: and his wife [was] of the daughters of Aharon [Bright, Very High], and her name [was] Elisheva [the oath of God].

⁶And they were both righteous before God-Theos, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord - Kurios blameless.

⁷And they had no child, because that Elisheva [the oath of God] was barren, and they both were [now] well stricken in years.

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

⁹According to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord - Kurios.

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

¹¹And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord - Kurios standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

¹²And when Z’kharyah [remembered by Yehovah] saw [him], he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

¹³But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Z’kharyah [remembered by Yehovah]: for youri prayer is heard; and youri wife Elisheva [the oath of God] shall bear youi a son, and youi shall call his name Yochanan [Yehovah has graced].

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

¹⁵For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord - Kurios, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh], even from his mother’s womb.

¹⁶And many of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God] shall he turn to the Lord - Kurios their God-Theos.

¹⁷And he shall go before him in the Spirit [Ruach] and power of Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah], to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord - Kurios.

¹⁸And Z’kharyah [remembered by Yehovah] said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.

¹⁹And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God-Theos; and am sent to speak unto youi, and to show youi these glad tidings.

²⁰And, behold, youi shall be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because youi believe not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.

²¹And the people waited for Z’kharyah [remembered by Yehovah], and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.

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

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

²⁴And after those days his wife Elisheva [the oath of God] conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,

²⁵Thus has the Lord - Kurios dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on [me], to take away my reproach (disgrace; shame) among men.

²⁶And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God-Theos unto a city of Galil [circuit, district], named Natzeret [one separated],

²⁷To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Yosef [God will add], of the house of David [Beloved]; and the virgin’s name [was] Miryam [waters of strength].

²⁸And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, [youi that are] highly favoured, the Lord - Kurios [is] with youi: Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [are] youi among women.

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

³⁰And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Miryam [waters of strength]: for youi have found favour with God-Theos.

³¹And, behold, youi shall conceive in youri womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name YESHUA (GOD SAVES).

³²He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord - Kurios God-Theos shall give unto him the throne of his father David [Beloved]:

³³And he shall reign over the house of Ya’akov [He who grabs onto the heal of] [Heal of God] forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

³⁴Then said Miryam [waters of strength] unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

³⁵And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh] shall come upon youi, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow youi: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of youi shall be called the Son of God-Theos.

³⁶And, behold, youri cousin Elisheva [the oath of God], she has also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

³⁷For with God-Theos nothing shall be impossible.

³⁸And Miryam [waters of strength] said, Behold the female slave of the Lord - Kurios; be it unto me according to youri word. And the angel departed from her.

³⁹And Miryam [waters of strength] arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Y’hudah [praised];

⁴⁰And entered into the house of Z’kharyah [remembered by Yehovah], and saluted Elisheva [the oath of God].

⁴¹And it came to pass, that, when Elisheva [the oath of God] heard the Greeting of Miryam [waters of strength], the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisheva [the oath of God] was filled with the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh]:

⁴²And she spoke out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [are] youi among women, and Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [is] the fruit of youri womb.

⁴³And from what place [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord - Kurios should come to me?

⁴⁴For, lo, as soon as the voice of youri Greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

⁴⁵And Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [is] she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord - Kurios.

⁴⁶And Miryam [waters of strength] said, My soul does magnify the Lord - Kurios,

⁴⁷And my Spirit [Ruach] has rejoiced in God-Theos my Saviour.

⁴⁸For he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from from this time forth (from now on) all generations shall call me Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous).

⁴⁹For he that is mighty has done to me great things; and holy [is] his name.

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

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

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

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

⁵⁴He has helped his slave Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God], in remembrance of [his] mercy;

⁵⁵As he spoke to our fathers, to Avraham [Exalted Father], and to his seed forever.

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

⁵⁷Now Elisheva [the oath of God]’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.

⁵⁸And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord - Kurios had showed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.

⁵⁹And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Z’kharyah [remembered by Yehovah], after the name of his father.

⁶⁰And his mother answered and said, Not [so]; but he shall be called Yochanan [Yehovah has graced].

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

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

⁶³And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is Yochanan [Yehovah has graced]. And they marvelled all.

⁶⁴And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue [loosed], and he spoke, and praised God-Theos.

⁶⁵And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Y’hudah [praised].

⁶⁶And all they that heard [them] laid [them] up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord - Kurios was with him.

⁶⁷And his father Z’kharyah [remembered by Yehovah] was filled with the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh], and prophesied, saying,

⁶⁸Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [be] the Lord - Kurios God-Theos of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God]; for he has visited and redeemed his people,

⁶⁹And has raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his slave David [Beloved];

⁷⁰As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:

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

⁷²To finish the mercy [promised] to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;

⁷³The oath which he swore to our father Avraham [Exalted Father],

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

⁷⁵In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

⁷⁶And youri, child, shall be called the prophet of the Highest: for youi shall go before the face of the Lord - Kurios to prepare his ways;

⁷⁷To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the forgiveness (pardon) of their sins,

⁷⁸Through the tender mercy of our God-Theos; whereby the Dayspring (sunrise) from on high has visited us,

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

⁸⁰And the child grew, and waxed strong in Spirit [Ruach], and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God].

¹And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar [venerable] Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.

²[And] this taxing was first made when Quirinius [warrior] was governor of Aram [exalted] (Syria [etymology is uncertain])

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

⁴And Yosef [God will add] also went up from Galil [circuit, district], out of the city of Natzeret [one separated], into Y’hudah [praised], unto the city of David [Beloved], which is called Beit-Lechem [House of Bread]; (because he was of the house and lineage of David [Beloved])

⁵To be taxed with Miryam [waters of strength] his espoused wife, being great with child.

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

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

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

⁹And, lo, the angel of the Lord - Kurios came upon them, and the glory of the Lord - Kurios shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

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

¹¹For unto you is born this day in the city of David [Beloved] a Saviour, which is Moshiach [Messiah] the Lord - Kurios.

¹²And this [shall be] a sign unto you; You2f shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes (cloths for wrapping infants tightly), lying in a manger.

¹³And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God-Theos, and saying,

¹⁴Glory to God-Theos in the highest, and on earth peace among men of God’s good pleasure or choosing..

¹⁵And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Beit-Lechem [House of Bread], and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord - Kurios has made known unto us.

¹⁶And they came with haste, and found Miryam [waters of strength], and Yosef [God will add], and the babe lying in a manger.

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

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

¹⁹But Miryam [waters of strength] kept all these things, and pondered [them] in her heart.

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

²¹And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called YESHUA (GOD SAVES), which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

²²And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] were accomplished, they brought him to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], to present [him] to the Lord - Kurios;

²³(As it is written in the law of the Lord - Kurios, Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord - Kurios;)

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

²⁵And, behold, there was a man in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], whose name [was] Shim’on [he who hears]; and the same man [was] just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God]: and the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh] was upon him.

²⁶And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh], that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord - Kurios’s Moshiach [Messiah].

²⁷And he came by the Spirit [Ruach] into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Yeshua [God is Salvation], to do for him after the custom of the law,

²⁸Then took he him up in his arms, and Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) God-Theos, and said,

²⁹Lord - Kurios, now let youi youri slave depart in peace, according to youri word:

³⁰For my eyes have seen youri Salvation,

³¹Which youi have prepared before the face of all people;

³²A light to lighten the Goyim [Gentiles], and the glory of youri people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God].

³³And Yosef [God will add] and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

³⁴And Shim’on [he who hears] Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) them, and said unto Miryam [waters of strength] his mother, Behold, this [child] is set for the fall and rising again of many in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God]; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;

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

³⁶And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the Bat-P’nu’el [daugher of the face of God], of the tribe of Asher [Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous)]: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;

³⁷And she [was] a widow of about eighty and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served [God-Theos] with fastings and prayers night and day.

³⁸And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord - Kurios, and spoke of him to all them that looked for redemption in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

³⁹And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord - Kurios, they returned into Galil [circuit, district], to their own city Natzeret [one separated].

⁴⁰And the child grew, and waxed strong in Spirit [Ruach], filled with wisdom: and the grace of God-Theos was upon him.

⁴¹Now his parents went to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] every year at the feast of the Passover.

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

⁴³And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Yeshua [God is Salvation] tarried behind in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]; and Yosef [God will add] and his mother knew not [of it].

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

⁴⁵And when they found him not, they turned back again to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], seeking him.

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

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

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

⁴⁹And he said unto them, How is it that you2f sought me? did not know you2f not that I must be about my Father’s business?

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

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

⁵²And Yeshua [God is Salvation] increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God-Theos and man.

¹Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius [as god-river] Caesar [venerable], Pontius Pilate [armed with a spear] being governor of Y’hudah [praised], and Herod [heroic] being tetrarch of Galil [circuit, district], and his brother Philip [friend of horses] tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis [a rugged region], and Lysanias [that drives away sorrow] the tetrarch of Abilene [grassy meadow],

²‘Anan [humble] and Kayafa [depression] being the high priests, the word of God-Theos came unto Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] the son of Z’kharyah [remembered by Yehovah] in the wilderness.

³And he came into all the country about Yarden [descender], preaching the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness (pardon) of sins;

⁴As it is written in the book of the words of Yesha’yahu [Yah is salvation] the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you2f the way of the Lord - Kurios, make his paths straight.

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

⁶And all flesh shall see the salvation of God-Theos.

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

⁸Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Avraham [Exalted Father] to [our] father: for I say unto you, That God-Theos is able of these stones to raise up children unto Avraham [Exalted Father].

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

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

¹¹He answer and says unto them, He that has two coats, let him impart to him that has none; and he that has meat, let him do likewise.

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

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

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

¹⁵And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of Yochanan [Yehovah has graced], whether he were the Moshiach [Messiah], or not;

¹⁶Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] answered, saying unto [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I comes, the sandal lace of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh] and with fire:

¹⁷Whose fan (a fork-shaped tool to throw grain in the air, to let he wind separate the wheat from the chaff) [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

¹⁸And many other things in his Exhortation (encouragement; counsel) preached he unto the people.

¹⁹But Herod [heroic] the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip [friend of horses]’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod [heroic] had done,

²⁰Added yet this above all, that he shut up Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] in prison.

²¹Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Yeshua [God is Salvation] also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

²²And the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh] descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, youi are my beloved Son; in youi I am well pleased.

²³And Yeshua [God is Salvation] himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Yosef [God will add], which was [the son] of Heli [ascending],

¹And Yeshua [God is Salvation] being full of the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh] returned from Yarden [descender], and was led by the Spirit [Ruach] into the wilderness,

²Being forty days tried or tested of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.

³And the devil said unto him, If youi be the Son of God-Theos, command this stone that it be made bread.

⁴And Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God-Theos.

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

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

⁷If youi therefore will worship me, all shall be youi.

⁸And Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered and said unto him, Get youi behind me, Satan [the adversary]: for it is written, youi shall worship the Lord - Kurios youi God-Theos, and him only shall youi serve.

⁹And he brought him to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If youi be the Son of God-Theos, cast yourself down from hence:

¹⁰For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over youi, to keep youi:

¹¹And in [their] hands they shall bear youi up, lest at any time youi dash youri foot against a stone.

¹²And Yeshua [God is Salvation] answering said unto him, It is said, youi shall not tempt the Lord - Kurios-Yehovah youri God-Theos.

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

¹⁴And Yeshua [God is Salvation] returned in the power of the Spirit [Ruach] into Galil [circuit, district]: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

¹⁵And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

¹⁶And he came to Natzeret [one separated], where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Shabbat [rest] day, and stood up for to read.

¹⁷And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Yesha’yahu [Yah is salvation]. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

¹⁸The Spirit [Ruach] of the Lord - Kurios-Yehovah [is] upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the Gospel (joyful message) to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

¹⁹To preach the acceptable year of the Lord - Kurios-Yehovah.

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

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

²²And all bore him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Yosef [God will add]’s son?

²³And he said unto them, You2f will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal yourself: whatsoever we have heard done in K’far-Nachum [town of comfort], do also here in youri country.

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

²⁵But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God] in the days of Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah], when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

²⁶But unto none of them was Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] sent, save unto Sarepta, [a city] of Tzidon [hunting], unto a woman [that was] a widow.

²⁷And many lepers were in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God] in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Na’aman [Pleasantness] the Arami [exalted].

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

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

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

³¹And came down to K’far-Nachum [town of comfort], a city of Galil [circuit, district], and taught them on the Shabbat [rest] days.

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

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

³⁴Saying, Let [us] alone; what have we to do with youi, [youi] Yeshua [God is Salvation] of Natzeret [one separated]? are youi come to destroy us? I know youi who youi are; the Holy One of God! [The Father].

³⁵And Yeshua [God is Salvation] rebuked him, saying, Hold youri peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.

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

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

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

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

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

⁴¹And demons also came out of many, crying out, and saying, youi are Moshiach [Messiah] the Son of God-Theos. And he rebuking [them] suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Moshiach [Messiah].

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

⁴³And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God-Theos to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.

⁴⁴And he preached in the synagogues of Galil [circuit, district].

¹And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God-Theos, he stood by the lake of Kinneret [a harp],

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

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

⁴Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Shim’on [he has heard], Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

⁵And Shim’on [he has heard] answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at youri word I will let down the net.

⁶And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net broke.

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

⁸When Shim’on [he has heard] Kefa [pebble] saw [it], he fell down at Yeshua [God is Salvation]’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord - Kurios.

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

¹⁰And so [was] also Ya’akov [heal-grabber], and Yochanan [Yehovah has graced], the sons of Zavdai [Yah has bestowed], which were partners with Shim’on [he has heard]. And Yeshua [God is Salvation] said unto Shim’on [he has heard], Fear not; from from this time forth (from now on) youi shall catch men.

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

¹²And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Yeshua [God is Salvation] fell on [his] face, and besought him, saying, Lord - Kurios, if youi will, youi can make me clean.

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

¹⁴And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and show yourself to the priest, and offer for youri cleansing, according as Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] commanded, for a testimony unto them.

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

¹⁶And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.

¹⁷And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galil [circuit, district], and Y’hudah [praised], and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]: and the power of the Lord - Kurios was [present] to heal them.

¹⁸And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought [means] to bring him in, and to lay [him] before him.

¹⁹And when they could not find by what [way] they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with [his] couch into the midst before Yeshua [God is Salvation].

²⁰And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, youri sins are forgiven youi.

²¹And the Torah-teachers (Scribes) and the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God-Theos alone?

²²But when Yeshua [God is Salvation] perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason you2f in your hearts?

²³Whether is easier, to say, You1s sins be forgiven youi; or to say, Rise up and walk?

²⁴But that you2f may know that the Son of Man has power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto youi, Arise, and take up youri couch, and go into youri house.

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

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

²⁷And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican (tax collector), named Levi (Levite) [Adhesion, Joiner], sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.

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

²⁹And Levi (Levite) [Adhesion, Joiner] made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.

³⁰But their Torah-teachers (Scribes) and P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do you2f eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

³¹And Yeshua [God is Salvation] answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.

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

³³And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] fast often, and make prayers, and likewise [the disciples] of the P’rushim (Pharisee [separatist]s) [separatists]; but youi eat and drink?

³⁴And he said unto them, Can you2f make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

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

³⁶And he spoke also a parable unto them; No man puts a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new makes a rent, and the piece that was [taken] out of the new agree not with the old.

³⁷And no man puts New Wine into old bottles; else the New Wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.

³⁸But New Wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.

³⁹No man also having drunk old [wine] immediately desires new: for he says, The old is better.

¹And it came to pass on the second Shabbat [rest] after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing [them] in [their] hands.

²And certain of the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] said unto them, Why do you2f that which is not lawful to do on the Shabbat [rest] days?

³And Yeshua [God is Salvation] answering them said, Have you2f not read so much as this, what David [Beloved] did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;

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

⁵And he said unto them, That the Son of Man is Lord - Kurios also of the Shabbat [rest].

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

⁷And the Torah-teachers (Scribes) and P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] watched him, whether he would heal on the Shabbat [rest] day; that they might find an accusation against him.

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

⁹Then said Yeshua [God is Salvation] unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the Shabbat [rest] days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy [it]?

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

¹¹And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Yeshua [God is Salvation].

¹²And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God-Theos.

¹³And when it was day, he called [unto him] his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;

¹⁴Shim’on [he has heard], (whom he also named Kefa [pebble],) and Andrew [of a man] his brother, Ya’akov [heal-grabber] and Yochanan [Yehovah has graced], Philip [friend of horses] and Bartholomew,

¹⁵Mattityahu [gift of Yah] and T’oma [twin], Ya’akov [heal-grabber] the [son] of Bar-Halfai [son of “changing”], and Shim’on [he has heard] called Zelotes,

¹⁶And Y’hudah [praised] [the brother] of Ya’akov [heal-grabber], and Y’hudah [praised] From K’riot [cities], which also was the traitor.

¹⁷And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Y’hudah [praised] and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and from the sea coast of Tzor [a rock] and Tzidon [hunting], which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;

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

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

²⁰And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [be you2f] poor: for yours is the kingdom of God-Theos.

²¹Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [are you2f] that hunger now: for you2f shall be filled. Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [are you2f] that weep now: for you2f shall laugh.

²²Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) are you2f, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you [from their company], and shall reproach (disgrace; shame) [you], and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.

²³Rejoice you2f in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward [is] great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

²⁴But woe unto you that are rich! for you2f have received your consolation.

²⁵Woe unto you that are full! for you2f shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for you2f shall mourn and weep.

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

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

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

²⁹And unto him that smites youi on the [one] cheek offer also the other; and him that takes away youri cloak forbid not [to take youri] coat also.

³⁰Give to every man that asks of youi; and of him that takes away youri goods ask [them] not again.

³¹And as you2f would that men should do to you, do you2f also to them likewise.

³²For if you2f love them which love you, what thank have you2f? for sinners also love those that love them.

³³And if you2f do good to them which do good to you, what thank have you2f? for sinners also do even the same.

³⁴And if you2f lend [to them] of whom you2f hope to receive, what thank have you2f? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

³⁵But love you2f your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and you2f shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and [to] the evil.

³⁶Be you2f therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

³⁷Judge not, and you2f shall not be judged: condemn not, and you2f shall not be condemned: forgive, and you2f shall be forgiven:

³⁸Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you2f measure (deal out) withal it shall be measured to you again.

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

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

⁴¹And why behold youi the splinter that is in youri brother’s eye, but perceive not the beam that is in youri own eye?

⁴²Either how can youi say to youri brother, Brother, let me pull out the splinter that is in youri eye, when youi yourself behold not the beam that is in youri own eye? youi hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of youri own eye, and then shall youi see clearly to pull out the splinter that is in youri brother’s eye.

⁴³For a good tree brings not forth corrupt fruit; neither does a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

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

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

⁴⁶And why call you2f me, Lord - Kurios-Adon, Lord - Kurios-Adon, and do not the things which I say?

⁴⁷Whosoever comes to me, and hears my sayings, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like:

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

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

¹Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into K’far-Nachum [town of comfort].

²And a certain Centurion (Roman commander of an hundred men)’s slave, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.

³And when he heard of Yeshua [God is Salvation], he sent unto him the elders of the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah], beseeching him that he would come and heal his slave.

⁴And when they came to Yeshua [God is Salvation], they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:

⁵For he loves our nation, and he has built us a synagogue.

⁶Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the Centurion (Roman commander of an hundred men) sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord - Kurios, trouble not yourself: for I am not worthy that youi should enter under my roof:

⁷For what reason neither thought I myself worthy to come unto youi: but say in a word, and my slave shall be healed.

⁸For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my slave, Do this, and he does [it].

⁹When Yeshua [God is Salvation] heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God].

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

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

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

¹³And when the Lord - Kurios saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

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

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

¹⁶And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God-Theos, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God-Theos has visited his people.

¹⁷And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Y’hudah [praised], and throughout all the region round about.

¹⁸And the disciples of Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] showed him of all these things.

¹⁹And Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] calling [unto him] two of his disciples sent [them] to Yeshua [God is Salvation], saying, Are youi he that should come? or look we for another?

²⁰When the men were come unto him, they said, Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] the Baptizer has sent us unto youi, saying, Are youi he that should come? or look we for another?

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

²²Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] what things you2f have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the Gospel (joyful message) is preached.

²³And Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) is [he], whosoever shall not be offended in me.

²⁴And when the messengers of Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning Yochanan [Yehovah has graced], What went you2f out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

²⁵But what went you2f out for to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.

²⁶But what went you2f out for to see? A prophet? Yes, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

²⁷This is [he], of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before youri face, which shall prepare youri way before youi.

²⁸For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God-Theos is greater than he.

²⁹And all the people that heard [him], and the publicans, justified God-Theos, being baptized with the baptism of Yochanan [Yehovah has graced].

³⁰But the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] and lawyers rejected the counsel of God-Theos against themselves, being not baptized of him.

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

³²They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and you2f have not danced; we have mourned to you, and you2f have not wept.

³³For Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you2f say, He has a devil.

³⁴The Son of Man is come eating and drinking; and you2f say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

³⁵But wisdom is justified of all her children.

³⁶And one of the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee [separatist]’s house, and sat down to meat.

³⁷And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that [Yeshua [God is Salvation]] sat at meat in the Pharisee [separatist]’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

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

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

⁴⁰And Yeshua [God is Salvation] answering said unto him, Shim’on [he has heard], I have somewhat to say unto youi. And he says, Master, say on.

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

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

⁴³Shim’on [he has heard] answered and said, I suppose that [he], to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, youi have rightly judged.

⁴⁴And he turned to the woman, and said unto Shim’on [he has heard], See youi this woman? I entered into youri house, youi gave me no water for my feet: but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped [them] with the hairs of her head.

⁴⁵youi gave me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in has not ceased to kiss my feet.

⁴⁶My head with oil youi did not anoint: but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment.

⁴⁷For what reason I say unto youi, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loves little.

⁴⁸And he said unto her, You1s sins are forgiven.

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

⁵⁰And he said to the woman, You1s faith has saved youi; go in peace.

¹And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God-Theos: and the twelve [were] with him,

²And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Miryam [waters of strength] called Magdala [a tower], out of whom went seven demons,

³And Yochanan [gift of God] the wife of Kuza [the seer] Herod [heroic]’s steward, and Shoshanah [a lily], and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹¹Now the parable is this: The seed is the Word of God-The Father.

¹²Those by the way side are they that hear; then comes the devil, and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

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

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

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

¹⁶No man, when he has lighted a candle, covers it with a vessel, or puts [it] under a bed; but sets [it] on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

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

¹⁸Take heed therefore how you2f hear: for whosoever has, to him shall be given; and whosoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he seems to have.

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

²⁰And it was told him [by certain] which said, youri mother and youri brethren stand without, desiring to see youi.

²¹And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the Word of God-The Father, and do it.

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

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

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

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

²⁶And they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes’ [those who come from pilgrimage or fight], which is over against Galil [circuit, district].

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

²⁸When he saw Yeshua [God is Salvation], he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with youi, Yeshua [God is Salvation], [youi] Son of God-Theos most high? I beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) youi, torment me not.

²⁹(For he had commanded the unclean Spirit [Ruach] to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he broke the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)

³⁰And Yeshua [God is Salvation] asked him, saying, What is youri name? And he said, Legion: because many demons were entered into him.

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

³²And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer (allow, to let, permit) them to enter into them. And he suffered them.

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

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

³⁵Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Yeshua [God is Salvation], and found the man, out of whom the demons were departed, sitting at the feet of Yeshua [God is Salvation], clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

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

³⁷Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gerasenes’ [those who come from pilgrimage or fight] round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.

³⁸Now the man out of whom the demons were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Yeshua [God is Salvation] sent him away, saying,

³⁹Return to youri own house, and show how great things God-Theos has done unto youi. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Yeshua [God is Salvation] had done unto him.

⁴⁰And it came to pass, that, when Yeshua [God is Salvation] was returned, the people [gladly] received him: for they were all waiting for him.

⁴¹And, behold, there came a man named Ya’ir [God enlightens], and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Yeshua [God is Salvation]’ feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:

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

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

⁴⁴Came behind [him], and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue (what comes forth) of blood stanched (stopped flowing).

⁴⁵And Yeshua [God is Salvation] said, Who touched me? When all denied, Kefa [pebble] and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng youi and press [youi], and say youi, Who touched me?

⁴⁶And Yeshua [God is Salvation] said, Somebody has touched me: for I perceive that virtue (power) is gone out of me.

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

⁴⁸And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: youri faith has made youi whole; go in peace.

⁴⁹While he yet spoke, there comes one from the ruler of the synagogue’s [house], saying to him, You1s daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.

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

⁵¹And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Kefa [pebble], and Ya’akov [heal-grabber], and Yochanan [Yehovah has graced], and the father and the mother of the virgin.

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

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

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

⁵⁵And her Spirit [Ruach] came again, and she arose immediately: and he commanded to give her meat.

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

¹Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

²And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God-Theos, and to heal the sick.

³And he said unto them, Take nothing for [your] journey, neither rods (clubs), nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

⁴And whatsoever house you2f enter into, there abide, and there depart.

⁵And whosoever will not receive you, when you2f go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

⁶And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the Gospel (joyful message), and healing every where.

⁷Now Herod [heroic] the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] was risen from the dead;

⁸And of some, that Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

⁹And Herod [heroic] said, Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

¹⁰And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Beit-Tzaidah [house of fish].

¹¹And the people, when they knew [it], followed him: and he received them, and spoke unto them of the kingdom of God-Theos, and healed them that had need of healing.

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

¹³But he said unto them, Give you2f them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.

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

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

¹⁶Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) them, and broke, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.

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

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

¹⁹They answering said, Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] the Baptist; but some [say], Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah]; and others [say], that one of the old prophets is risen again.

²⁰He said unto them, But whom say you2f that I am? Kefa [pebble] answering said, The Moshiach [Messiah] of God-Theos.

²¹And he straitly charged them, and commanded [them] to tell no man that thing;

²²Saying, The Son of Man must suffer (allow, to let, permit) many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and Torah-teachers (Scribes), and be slain, and be raised the third day.

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

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

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

²⁶For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and [in his] Father’s, and of the holy angels.

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

²⁸And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Kefa [pebble] and Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] and Ya’akov [heal-grabber], and went up into a mountain to pray.

²⁹And as he prayed, the fashion of his Countenance (Face, appearance; show favor) was altered, and his clothing [was] white [and] glistering.

³⁰And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] and Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah]:

³¹Who appeared in glory, and spoke of his decease which he should accomplish at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

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

³³And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Kefa [pebble] said unto Yeshua [God is Salvation], Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for youi, and one for Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters], and one for Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah]: not knowing what he said.

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

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

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

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

³⁸And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) youi, look upon my son: for he is my only child.

³⁹And, lo, a Spirit [Ruach] takes him, and he suddenly cries out; and it tears him that he foams again, and bruising him hardly departs from him.

⁴⁰And I besought youi disciples to cast him out; and they could not.

⁴¹And Yeshua [God is Salvation] answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer (allow, to let, permit) you? Bring youri son here.

⁴²And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare [him]. And Yeshua [God is Salvation] rebuked the unclean Spirit [Ruach], and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

⁴³And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God-Theos. But while they wondered every one at all things which Yeshua [God is Salvation] did, he said unto his disciples,

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

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

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

⁴⁷And Yeshua [God is Salvation], perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,

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

⁴⁹And Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in youri name; and we forbad him, because he follows not with us.

⁵⁰And Yeshua [God is Salvation] said unto him, Forbid [him] not, for he is not against you: for he that is not against us is for us.

⁵¹And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace],

⁵²And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Shomronim [of Samaria (the watch-mountain)], to make ready for him.

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

⁵⁴And when his disciples Ya’akov [heal-grabber] and Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] saw [this], they said, Lord - Kurios, will youi that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] did?

⁵⁵But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, You2f know not what manner of Spirit [Ruach] you2f are of.

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

⁵⁷And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain [man] said unto him, Lord - Kurios, I will follow youi to wherever youi go.

⁵⁸And Yeshua [God is Salvation] said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air [have] nests; but the Son of Man has not where to lay [his] head.

⁵⁹And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord - Kurios, suffer (allow, to let, permit) me first to go and bury my father.

⁶⁰Yeshua [God is Salvation] said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go youi and preach the kingdom of God-Theos.

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

⁶²And Yeshua [God is Salvation] said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God-Theos.

¹After these things the Lord - Kurios appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, to which he himself would come.

²Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly [is] great, but the labourers [are] few: pray you2f therefore the Lord - Kurios of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

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

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

⁵And into whatsoever house you2f enter, first say, Peace [be] to this house.

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

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

⁸And into whatsoever city you2f enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

⁹And heal the sick that are in it, and say unto them, The kingdom of God-Theos is come near unto you.

¹⁰But into whatsoever city you2f enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

¹¹Even the very dust of your city, which cleaves on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be you2f sure of this, that the kingdom of God-Theos is come near unto you.

¹²But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for S’dom [Burning], than for that city.

¹³Woe unto youi, Korazin [here is a mystery]! woe unto youi, Beit-Tzaidah [house of fish]! for if the mighty works had been done in Tzor [a rock] and Tzidon [hunting], which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

¹⁴But it shall be more tolerable for Tzor [a rock] and Tzidon [hunting] at the judgment, than for you.

¹⁵And youi, K’far-Nachum [town of comfort], which are exalted to heaven, shall be thrust down to hell.

¹⁶He that hears you hears me; and he that despises you despises me; and he that despises me despises him that sent me.

¹⁷And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord - Kurios, even the demons are subject unto us through youri name.

¹⁸And he said unto them, I beheld Satan [the adversary] as lightning fall from heaven.

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

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

²¹In that hour Yeshua [God is Salvation] rejoiced in Spirit [Ruach], and said, I thank youi, O Father, Lord - Kurios of heaven and earth, that youi have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in youri sight.

²²And having turned to the disciples, he said: All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knows who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and [he] to whom the Son will reveal [him].

²³And he turned him unto [his] disciples, and said privately, Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [are] the eyes which see the things that you2f see:

²⁴For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which you2f see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear those things which you2f hear, and have not heard [them].

²⁵And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tried or tested him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

²⁶He said unto him, What is written in the law? how read youi?

²⁷And he answering said, youi shall love the Lord - Kurios-Yehovah youri God-Theos with all youri heart, and with all youri soul, and with all yorui strength, and with all youri mind; and youri neighbour as yourself.

²⁸And he said unto him, youi have answered right: this do, and youi shall live.

²⁹But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Yeshua [God is Salvation], And who is my neighbour?

³⁰And Yeshua [God is Salvation] answering said, A certain [man] went down from Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] to Yericho [Its Moon], and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his clothing, and wounded [him], and departed, leaving [him] half dead.

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

³²And likewise a Levi (Levite) [Joined to], when he was at the place, came and looked [on him], and passed by on the other side.

³³But a certain Shomroni [watch-mountain], as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion [on him],

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

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

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

³⁷And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Yeshua [God is Salvation] unto him, Go, and do youi likewise.

³⁸Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Marta [she was rebellious] received him into her house.

³⁹And she had a sister called Miryam [waters of strength], which also sat at Yeshua [God is Salvation]’ feet, and heard his word.

⁴⁰But Marta [she was rebellious] was cumbered (overwhelmed with cares) about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord - Kurios, do youi not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

⁴¹And Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered and said unto her, Marta [she was rebellious], Marta [she was rebellious], youi are careful and troubled about many things:

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

¹And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord - Kurios, teach us to pray, as Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] also taught his disciples.

²And he said unto them, When you2f pray, say, Our Father which are in heaven, Hallowed be youri name. Your1s kingdom come. Your1s will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

³Give us day by day our daily bread.

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

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

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

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

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

⁹And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you2f shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

¹⁰For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.

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

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

¹³If you2f then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit [Ruach] to them that ask him?

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

¹⁵But some of them said, He casts out demons through Beelzebub the chief of the demons.

¹⁶And others, tempting [him], sought of him a sign from heaven.

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

¹⁸If Satan [the adversary] also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because you2f say that I cast out demons through Beelzebub.

¹⁹And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast [them] out? therefore shall they be your judges.

²⁰But if I with the finger of God-Theos cast out demons, no doubt the kingdom of God-Theos is come upon you.

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

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

²³He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathers not with me scatters.

²⁴When the unclean Spirit [Ruach] is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, I will return unto my house from what place I came out.

²⁵And when he comes, he finds [it] swept and garnished.

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

²⁷And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [is] the womb that bore youi, and the breasts which youi have sucked.

²⁸But he said, Yes rather, Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [are] they that hear the word of God-Theos, and keep it.

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

³⁰For as Yochanan [dove] was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of Man be to this generation.

³¹The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Shlomo [peace] (Solomon); and, behold, a greater than Shlomo [peace] (Solomon) [is] here.

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

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

³⁴The light of the body is the eye: therefore when youri eye is single, youri whole body also is full of light; but when [youri eye] is evil, youri body also [is] full of darkness.

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

³⁶If youri whole body therefore [be] full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle does give youi light.

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

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

³⁹And the Lord - Kurios said unto him, Now do you2f P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening (preying upon to devour) and wickedness.

⁴⁰[You2f] fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

⁴¹But rather give alms of such things as you2f have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

⁴²But woe unto you, P’rushim (Pharisee [separatist]s) [separatists]! for you2f tithe mint and rue (an evergreen plant used for medicine) and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God-Theos: these ought you2f to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

⁴³Woe unto you, P’rushim (Pharisee [separatist]s) [separatists]! for you2f love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

⁴⁴Woe unto you, Torah-teachers (Scribes) and P’rushim (Pharisee [separatist]s) [separatists], hypocrites! for you2f are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over [them] are not aware [of them].

⁴⁵Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying youi reproach (disgrace; shame) us also.

⁴⁶And he said, Woe unto you also, [you2f] lawyers! for you2f burden (to load) men with burdens grievous to be borne, and you2f yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

⁴⁷Woe unto you! for you2f build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴⁸Truly you2f bear witness that you2f allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and you2f build their sepulchres.

⁴⁹Therefore also said the wisdom of God-Theos, I will send them prophets and apostles, and [some] of them they shall slay and persecute:

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

⁵¹From the blood of Hevel (heardsman) unto the blood of Z’kharyah [remembered by Yehovah], which perished between the altar and the temple: truly I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

⁵²Woe unto you, lawyers! for you2f have taken away the key of knowledge: you2f entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in you2f hindered.

⁵³And as he said these things unto them, the Torah-teachers (Scribes) and the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] began to urge [him] vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:

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

¹In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trampled one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware you2f of the leaven of the P’rushim (Pharisee [separatist]s) [separatists], which is hypocrisy.

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

³Therefore whatsoever you2f have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which you2f have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

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

⁵But I will forewarn you whom you2f shall fear: Fear him, which after he has killed has power to cast into hell; yes, I say unto you, Fear him.

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

⁷But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you2f are of more value than many sparrows.

⁸Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God-Theos:

⁹But he that denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God-Theos.

¹⁰And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemes against the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh] it shall not be forgiven.

¹¹And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and [unto] magistrates, and powers, take you2f no thought how or what thing you2f shall answer, or what you2f shall say:

¹²For the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh] shall teach you in the same hour what you2f ought to say.

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁹And I will say to my soul, Soul, youi have much goods laid up for many years; take youri ease, eat, drink, [and] be merry.

²⁰But God-Theos said unto him, [youi] fool, this night youi soul shall be required of youi: then whose shall those things be, which youi have provided?

²¹So [is] he that lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God-Theos.

²²And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what you2f shall eat; neither for the body, what you2f shall put on.

²³The life is more than meat, and the body [is more] than clothing.

²⁴Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God-Theos feeds them: how much more are you2f better than the fowls?

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

²⁶If you2f then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take you2f thought for the rest?

²⁷Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Shlomo [peace] (Solomon) in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

²⁸If then God- The Father so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more [will he clothe] you, O you2f of little faith?

²⁹And seek not you2f what you2f shall eat, or what you2f shall drink, neither be you2f of doubtful mind.

³⁰For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knows that you2f have need of these things.

³¹But rather seek you2f the kingdom of God-The Father; and all these things shall be added unto you.

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

³³Sell that you2f have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which grow (become; advance) not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts.

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

³⁵Let your waist be girded about, and [your] lights burning;

³⁶And you2f yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may open unto him immediately.

³⁷Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [are] those servants, whom the lord when he comes shall find watching: truly I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

³⁸And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find [them] so, Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) are those servants.

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

⁴⁰Be you2f therefore ready also: for the Son of Man comes at an hour when you2f think not.

⁴¹Then Kefa [pebble] said unto him, Lord - Kurios, speak youi this parable unto us, or even to all?

⁴²And the Lord - Kurios said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom [his] lord shall make ruler over his household, to give [them their] portion of meat in due season?

⁴³Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [is] that slave, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.

⁴⁴Of a tI say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.

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

⁴⁶The lord of that slave will come in a day when he looks not for [him], and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

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

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

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

⁵⁰But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened (impeded or restricted; narrowed, distressed) till it be accomplished!

⁵¹Suppose you2f that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, No; but rather division:

⁵²For from from this time forth (from now on) there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

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

⁵⁴And he said also to the people, When you2f see a cloud rise out of the west, immediately you2f say, There comes a shower; and so it is.

⁵⁵And when [you2f see] the south wind blow, you2f say, There will be heat; and it comes to pass.

⁵⁶[You2f] hypocrites, you2f can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that you2f do not discern this time?

⁵⁷Yes, and why even of yourselves judge you2f not what is right?

⁵⁸When youi go with youri adversary to the magistrate, [as youi are] in the way, give diligence that youi may be delivered from him; lest he drag (force) youi to the judge, and the judge deliver youi to the officer, and the officer cast youi into prison.

⁵⁹I tell youi, youi shall not depart there, till youi have paid the very last mite (a coin of very small value).

¹There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans [wheel], whose blood Pilate [armed with a spear] had mingled with their sacrifices.

²And Yeshua [God is Salvation] answering said unto them, Suppose you2f that these Galilaeans [wheel] were sinners above all the Galilaeans [wheel], because they suffered such things?

³I tell you, No: but, except you2f repent, you2f shall all likewise perish.

⁴Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think you2f that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]?

⁵I tell you, No: but, except you2f repent, you2f shall all likewise perish.

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

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

⁸And he answering said unto him, Lord - Kurios, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung [it]:

⁹And if it bear fruit, [well]: and if not, [then] after that youi shall cut it down.

¹⁰And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Shabbat [rest].

¹¹And, behold, there was a woman which had a Spirit [Ruach] of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could assuredly not (by no means) lift up [herself].

¹²And when Yeshua [God is Salvation] saw her, he called [her to him], and said unto her, Woman, youi are loosed from youri infirmity.

¹³And he laid [his] hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God-Theos.

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

¹⁵The Lord - Kurios then answered him, and said, [youi] hypocrite, does not each one of you on the Shabbat [rest] loose his ox or [his] ass from the stall, and lead [him] away to watering?

¹⁶And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Avraham [Exalted Father], whom Satan [the adversary] has bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Shabbat [rest] day?

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

¹⁸Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God-The Father like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?

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

²⁰And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God-The Father?

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

²²And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

²³Then said one unto him, Lord - Kurios-Adon, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,

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

²⁵When once the master of the house is risen up, and has shut to the door, and you2f begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord - Kurios, Lord - Kurios, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not from what place you2f are:

²⁶Then shall you2f begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in youri presence, and youi have taught in our streets.

²⁷But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not from what place you2f are; depart from me, all [you2f] workers of iniquity.

²⁸There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you2f shall see Avraham [Exalted Father], and Yitz’khak [Laughter], and Ya’akov [He who grabs onto the heal of] [Heal of God], and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God-Theos, and you [yourselves] thrust out.

²⁹And they shall come from the east, and [from] the west, and from the north, and [from] the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God-Theos.

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

³¹The same day there came certain of the P’rushim (Pharisee [separatist]s) [separatists], saying unto him, Get youi out, and depart hence: for Herod [heroic] will kill youi.

³²And he said unto them, Go you2f, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons, and I do cures to day and tomorrow, and the third [day] I shall be perfected.

³³Nevertheless I must walk to day, and tomorrow, and the [day] following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

³⁴O Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], which kill the prophets, and stone them that are sent unto youi; how often would I have gathered youri children together, as a hen [does gather] her brood (animal offspring) under [her] wings, and you2f would not!

³⁵Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and truly I say unto you, You2f shall not see me, until [the time] come when you2f shall say, Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [is] he that comes in the name of the Lord - Kurios.

¹And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] to eat bread on the Shabbat [rest] day, that they watched him.

²And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy (an illness where a part or all of the body swells with too much water).

³And Yeshua [God is Salvation] answering spoke unto the lawyers and P’rushim (Pharisee [separatist]s) [separatists], saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Shabbat [rest] day?

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

⁵And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not immediately pull him out on the Shabbat [rest] day?

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

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

⁸When youi are bidden of any [man] to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than youi be bidden of him;

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

¹⁰But when youi are bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade youi comes, he may say unto youi, Friend, go up higher: then shall youi have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with youi.

¹¹For whosoever exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

¹²Then said he also to him that bade him, When youi make a dinner or a supper, call not youri friends, nor youri brethren, neither youri kinsmen, nor [youri] rich neighbours; lest they also bid youi again, and a recompence (punishment for evil, reward) be made youi.

¹³But when youi make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

¹⁴And youi shall be Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous); for they cannot recompense youi: for youi shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

¹⁵And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [is] he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God-Theos.

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

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

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

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

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

²¹So that slave came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his slave, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, and the maimed, and the lame (crippled in the feet), and the blind.

²²And the slave said, Lord - Kurios-Adon, it is done as youi have commanded, and yet there is room.

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

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

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

²⁶If any [man] come to me, and love less by comparison not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

²⁷And whosoever does not bear his stake (cross), and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

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

²⁹Lest perhaps (maybe), after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish [it], all that behold [it] begin to mock him,

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

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

³²Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he send an ambassage, and desires conditions of peace.

³³So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsake not all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.

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

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

¹Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

²And the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] and Torah-teachers (Scribes) murmured, saying, This man receives sinners, and eats with them.

³And he spoke this parable unto them, saying,

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

⁵And when he has found [it], he lays [it] on his shoulders, rejoicing.

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

⁷I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

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

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

¹⁰Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God-Theos over one sinner that repents.

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁶And he would fain (earnestly want to or long to; gladly) have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁷And he said unto him, You1s brother is come; and youri father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound.

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

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

³⁰But as soon as this youri son was come, which has devoured youi living with prostitutes, youi have killed for him the fatted calf.

³¹And he said unto him, Son, youi are ever with me, and all that I have is yoursi.

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

¹And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

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

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

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

⁵So he called every one of his lord’s debtors [unto him], and said unto the first, How much owe youi unto my lord?

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

⁷Then said he to another, And how much owe youi? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take youri bill, and write eighty.

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

⁹And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon (earthly goods; property; riches) of unrighteousness; that, when you2f fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

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

¹¹If therefore you2f have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon (earthly goods; property; riches), who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?

¹²And if you2f have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?

¹³No slave can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You2f cannot serve God-Theos and mammon (earthly goods; property; riches).

¹⁴And the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

¹⁵And he said unto them, You2f are they which justify yourselves before men; but God-Theos knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God-Theos.

¹⁶The law and the prophets [were] until Yochanan [Yehovah has graced]: since that time the kingdom of God-Theos is preached, and every man presses into it.

¹⁷And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the Torah to fail.

¹⁸Whosoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commit adultery: and whosoever marries her that is put away from [her] husband commit adultery.

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

²⁰And there was a certain beggar named El’azar [whom God helps], which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

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

²²And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Avraham [Exalted Father]’s [Exalted Father] bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

²³And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and sees Avraham [Exalted Father] afar off, and El’azar [whom God helps] in his bosom.

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

²⁵But Avraham [Exalted Father] said, Son, remember that youi in youri lifetime received youri good things, and likewise El’azar [whom God helps] evil things: but now he is comforted, and youi are tormented.

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

²⁷Then he said, I pray youi therefore, father, that youi would send him to my father’s house:

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

²⁹Avraham [Exalted Father] says unto him, They have Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] and the prophets; let them hear them.

³⁰And he said, No, father Avraham [Exalted Father]: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

³¹And he said unto him, If they hear not Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

¹Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe [unto him], through whom they come!

²It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend (make angry; make one stumble; violate) one of these little ones.

³Take heed to yourselves: If youri brother trespass against youi, rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) him; and if he repent, forgive him.

⁴And if he trespass against youi seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to youi, saying, I repent; youi shall forgive him.

⁵And the apostles said unto the Lord - Kurios, Increase our faith.

⁶And the Lord - Kurios-Adon said, If you2f had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you2f might say unto this sycamine tree, Be youi plucked up by the root, and be youi planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

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

⁸And will not rather say unto him, Make ready which I may eat, and gird yourself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward youi shall eat and drink?

⁹Does he thank that slave because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow (to think; believe; trust) not.

¹⁰So likewise you2f, when you2f shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

¹¹And it came to pass, as he went to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], that he passed through the midst of Shomron [watch mountain] and Galil [circuit, district].

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

¹³And they lifted up [their] voices, and said, Yeshua [God is Salvation], Master, have mercy on us.

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

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

¹⁶And fell down on [his] face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Shomroni [watch-mountain].

¹⁷And Yeshua [God is Salvation] answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where [are] the nine?

¹⁸There are not found that returned to give glory to God-Theos, save this stranger.

¹⁹And he said unto him, Arise, go youri way: youri faith has made youi whole.

²⁰And when he was demanded of the P’rushim (Pharisee [separatist]s) [separatists], when the kingdom of God-The Father should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God-The Father comes not with observation:

²¹Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God-The Father is within you.

²²And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when you2f shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you2f shall not see [it].

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

²⁴For as the lightning, that lightens out of the one [part] under heaven, shines unto the other [part] under heaven; so shall also the Son of Man be in his day.

²⁵But first must he suffer (allow, to let, permit) many things, and be rejected of this generation.

²⁶And as it was in the days of Noach [rest], so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man.

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

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

²⁹But the same day that Lot went out of S’dom [Burning] it rained fire and sulfur from heaven, and destroyed [them] all.

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

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

³²Remember Lot’s wife.

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

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

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

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

³⁷And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord - Kurios? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body [is], there will the eagles be gathered together.

¹And he spoke a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought always to pray, and not to give up;

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

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

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

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

⁶And the Lord - Kurios said, Hear what the unjust judge says.

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

⁸I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of Man comes, shall he find faith on the earth?

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

¹⁰Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee [separatist], and the other a publican (tax collector).

¹¹The Pharisee [separatist] stood and prayed thus with himself, God-Theos, I thank youi, that I am not as other men [are], extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican (tax collector).

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

¹³And the publican (tax collector), standing afar off, would not lift up so much as [his] eyes unto heaven, but struck upon his breast, saying, God-Theos be merciful to me a sinner.

¹⁴I tell you, this man went down to his house justified [rather] than the other: for every one that exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

¹⁵And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when [his] disciples saw [it], they rebuked them.

¹⁶But Yeshua [God is Salvation] called them [unto him], and said, Suffer (allow, to let, permit) little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God-Theos.

¹⁷Truly I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God-Theos as a little child shall assuredly not (by no means) enter in it.

¹⁸And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

¹⁹And Yeshua [God is Salvation] said unto him, Why call youi me good? none [is] good, save one, [that is], God-Theos.

²⁰youi know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour youri father and youri mother.

²¹And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

²²Now when Yeshua [God is Salvation] heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lack youi one thing: sell all that youi have, and distribute unto the poor, and youi shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

²³And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

²⁴And when Yeshua [God is Salvation] saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God-Theos!

²⁵For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God-Theos.

²⁶And they that heard [it] said, Who then can be saved?

²⁷And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God-Theos.

²⁸Then Kefa [pebble] said, Lo, we have left all, and followed youi.

²⁹And he said unto them, Truly I say unto you, There is no man that has left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God-Theos’s sake,

³⁰Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

³¹Then he took [unto him] the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man shall be accomplished.

³²For he shall be delivered unto the Goyim [Gentiles], and shall be deceived, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

³³And they shall scourge [him], and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.

³⁴And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

³⁵And it came to pass, that as he was come near unto Yericho [Its Moon], a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

³⁶And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.

³⁷And they told him, that Yeshua [God is Salvation] of Natzeret [one separated] passes by.

³⁸And he cried, saying, Yeshua [God is Salvation], [youi] Son of David [Beloved], have mercy on me.

³⁹And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, [youi] Son of David [Beloved], have mercy on me.

⁴⁰And Yeshua [God is Salvation] stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,

⁴¹Saying, What will youi that I shall do unto youi? And he said, Lord - Kurios, that I may receive my sight.

⁴²And Yeshua [God is Salvation] said unto him, Receive youri sight: youri faith has saved youi.

⁴³And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God-Theos: and all the people, when they saw [it], gave praise unto God-Theos.

¹And [Yeshua [God is Salvation]] entered and passed through Yericho [Its Moon].

²And, behold, [there was] a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

³And he sought to see Yeshua [God is Salvation] who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

⁴And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that [way].

⁵And when Yeshua [God is Salvation] came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at youri house.

⁶And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

⁷And when they saw [it], they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

⁸And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord - Kurios; Behold, Lord - Kurios, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore [him] fourfold.

⁹And Yeshua [God is Salvation] said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Avraham [Exalted Father].

¹⁰For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

¹¹And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was near to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and because they thought that the kingdom of God-Theos should immediately appear.

¹²He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

¹³And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

¹⁴But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this [man] to reign over us.

¹⁵And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

¹⁶Then came the first, saying, Lord - Kurios, youri pound has gained ten pounds.

¹⁷And he said unto him, Well, youi good slave: because youi have been faithful in a very little, have youi authority over ten cities.

¹⁸And the second came, saying, Lord - Kurios, youri pound has gained five pounds.

¹⁹And he said likewise to him, Be youi also over five cities.

²⁰And another came, saying, Lord - Kurios, behold, [here is] youri pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

²¹For I feared youi, because youi are an austere (severe; strict; harsh; solemn) man: youi take up that youi layed not down, and reap that youi did not sow.

²²And he says unto him, Out of youri own mouth will I judge youi, [youi] wicked slave. youi knew that I was an austere (severe; strict; harsh; solemn) man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

²³For what reason then gave not youri my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with usury (interest paid for using money)?

²⁴And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give [it] to him that has ten pounds.

²⁵(And they said unto him, Lord - Kurios, he has ten pounds.)

²⁶For I say unto you, That unto every one which has shall be given; and from him that has not, even that he has shall be taken away from him.

²⁷But those my enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring here, and slay [them] before me.

²⁸And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

²⁹And it came to pass, when he was come near to Beit-Pagei [house of unripe figs] and Beit-Anyah [house of figs], at the mount called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

³⁰Saying, Go you2f into the village over against [you]; in the which at your entering you2f shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring [him here].

³¹And if any man ask you, Why do you2f loose [him]? thus shall you2f say unto him, Because the Lord - Kurios has need of him.

³²And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

³³And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose you2f the colt?

³⁴And they said, The Lord - Kurios has need of him.

³⁵And they brought him to Yeshua [God is Salvation]: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Yeshua [God is Salvation] thereon.

³⁶And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

³⁷And when he was come near, even now at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God-Theos with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

³⁸Saying, Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [be] the King that comes in the name of the Lord - Kurios: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

³⁹And some of the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) youri disciples.

⁴⁰And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

⁴¹And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

⁴²Saying, If youi had known, even youi, at least in this youri day, the things [which belong] unto youri peace! but now they are hid from youri eyes.

⁴³For the days shall come upon youi, that youri enemies shall cast a trench about youi, and compass (go around, encircle; encompass) youi round, and keep youi in on every side,

⁴⁴And shall lay youi even with the ground, and youri children within youi; and they shall not leave in youi one stone upon another; because youi knew not the time of youri visitation.

⁴⁵And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold in it, and them that bought;

⁴⁶Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but you2f have made it a den of thieves.

⁴⁷And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the Torah-teachers (Scribes) and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

⁴⁸And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

¹And it came to pass, [that] on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the Gospel (joyful message), the chief priests and the Torah-teachers (Scribes) came upon [him] with the elders,

²And spoke unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority do youi these things? or who is he that gave youi this authority?

³And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:

⁴The baptism of Yochanan [Yehovah has graced], was it from heaven, or of men?

⁵And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed you2f him not?

⁶But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] was a prophet.

⁷And they answered, that they could not tell from what place [it was].

⁸And Yeshua [God is Salvation] said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

⁹Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.

¹⁰And at the season he sent a slave to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent [him] away empty.

¹¹And again he sent another slave: and they beat him also, and entreated [him] shamefully, and sent [him] away empty.

¹²And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast [him] out.

¹³Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence [him] when they see him.

¹⁴But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

¹⁵So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed [him]. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

¹⁶He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard [it], they said, God-Theos forbid.

¹⁷And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

¹⁸Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

¹⁹And the chief priests and the Torah-teachers (Scribes) the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

²⁰And they watched [him], and sent forth spies, which should feign (to pretend to be; to disguise) themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.

²¹And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that youi say and teaches rightly, neither accept youi the person [of any], but teaches the way of God-Theos truly:

²²Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar [venerable], or no?

²³But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt you2f me?

²⁴Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription has it? They answered and said, Caesar [venerable]’s.

²⁵And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar [venerable] the things which be Caesar [venerable]’s, and unto God-Theos the things which be God-Theos’s.

²⁶And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

²⁷Then came to [him] certain of the Tz’dukim (Sadducees) [followers of the right], which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

²⁸Saying, Master, Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

²⁹There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

³⁰And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

³¹And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

³²Last of all the woman died also.

³³Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.

³⁴And Yeshua [God is Salvation] answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

³⁵But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

³⁶Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God-Theos, being the children of the resurrection.

³⁷Now that the dead are raised, even Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] showed at the bush, when he calls the Lord - Kurios the God-Theos of Avraham [Exalted Father], and the God-Theos of Yitz’khak [Laughter], and the God-Theos of Ya’akov [He who grabs onto the heal of] [Heal of God].

³⁸For he is not a God-Theos of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

³⁹Then certain of the Torah-teachers (Scribes) answering said, Master, youi have well said.

⁴⁰And after that they dared (was bold enough) not ask him any [question at all].

⁴¹And he said unto them, How say they that Moshiach [Messiah] is David [Beloved]’s [beloved]’s son?

⁴²And David [Beloved] himself says in the book of Psalms, The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto my Lord – (Adon – Lord of the Earth), Sit youi on my right hand,

⁴³Till I make youri enemies youri footstool.

⁴⁴David [Beloved] therefore calls him Lord - Kurios, how is he then his son?

⁴⁵Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,

⁴⁶Beware of the Torah-teachers (Scribes), which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;

⁴⁷Which devour widows’ houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

¹And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

²And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in there two mites.

³And he said, Of a tI say unto you, that this poor widow has cast in more than they all:

⁴For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God-Theos: but she of her poverty has cast in all the living that she had.

⁵And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,

⁶[As for] these things which you2f behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

⁷And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign [will there be] when these things shall come to pass?

⁸And he said, Take heed that you2f be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Moshiach [Messiah]]; and the time draws near: go you2f not therefore after them.

⁹But when you2f shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end [is] not by and by.

¹⁰Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

¹¹And great earthquakes shall be in different places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

¹²But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute [you], delivering [you] up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.

¹³And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

¹⁴Settle [it] therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what you2f shall answer:

¹⁵For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to contradict (oppose) nor resist.

¹⁶And you2f shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and relatives, and friends; and [some] of you shall they cause to be put to death.

¹⁷And you2f shall be hated of all [men] for my name’s sake.

¹⁸But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

¹⁹In your patience possess you2f your souls.

²⁰And when you2f shall see Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is near.

²¹Then let them which are in Y’hudah [praised] flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

²²For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

²³But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

²⁴And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] shall be trampled down of the Goyim [Gentiles], until the times of the Goyim [Gentiles] be fulfilled.

²⁵And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

²⁶Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

²⁷And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near.

²⁹And he spoke to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

³⁰When they now shoot forth, you2f see and know of your own selves that summer is now near at hand.

³¹So likewise you2f, when you2f see these things come to pass, know you2f that the kingdom of God-Theos is near at hand.

³²Truly I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

³³Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

³⁴And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be burdened (weighed down) with overindulgence (excess food or drink), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and [so] that day come upon you unawares.

³⁵For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

³⁶Watch you2f therefore, and pray always, that you2f may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.

³⁷And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called [the mount] of Olives.

³⁸And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.

¹Now the feast of unleavened bread drew near, which is called the Passover.

²And the chief priests and Torah-teachers (Scribes) sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

³Then entered Satan [the adversary] into Y’hudah [praised] surnamed From K’riot [cities], being of the number of the twelve.

⁴And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.

⁵And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

⁶And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

⁷Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the Passover must be killed.

⁸And he sent Kefa [pebble] and Yochanan [Yehovah has graced], saying, Go and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat.

⁹And they said unto him, Where will youi that we prepare?

¹⁰And he said unto them, Behold, when you2f are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he enters in.

¹¹And you2f shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master says unto youi, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the Passover with my disciples?

¹²And he shall show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

¹³And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the Passover.

¹⁴And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

¹⁵And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer (allow, to let, permit):

¹⁶For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God-Theos.

¹⁷And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide [it] among yourselves:

¹⁸For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God-Theos shall come.

¹⁹And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke [it], and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²⁰Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup [is] the new testament (a covenant, ratified in death) in my blood, which is shed for you.

²¹But, behold, the hand of him that betrays me [is] with me on the table.

²²And truly the Son of Man goes, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

²³And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

²⁴And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

²⁵And he said unto them, The kings of the Goyim [Gentiles] exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

²⁶But you2f [shall] not [be] so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that does serve.

²⁷For whether [is] greater, he that sits at meat, or he that serves? [is] not he that sits at meat? but I am among you as he that serves.

²⁸You2f are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

²⁹And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father has appointed unto me;

³⁰That you2f may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God].

³¹And the Lord - Kurios said, Shim’on [he has heard], Shim’on [he has heard], behold, Satan [the adversary] has desired [to have] you, that he may sift [you] as wheat:

³²But I have prayed for youi, that youri faith fail not: and when youi are converted, strengthen youri brethren.

³³And he said unto him, Lord - Kurios, I am ready to go with youi, both into prison, and to death.

³⁴And he said, I tell youi, Kefa [pebble], the cock shall not crow this day, before that youi shall thrice deny that youi know me.

³⁵And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked you2f any thing? And they said, Nothing.

³⁶Then said he unto them, But now, he that has a purse, let him take [it], and likewise [his] scrip: and he that has no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

³⁷For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

³⁸And they said, Lord - Kurios, behold, here [are] two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

³⁹And he came out, and went, as he was wont (used to; in the habit of), to the Mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that you2f enter not into temptation.

⁴¹And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,

⁴²Saying, Father, if youi be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but youri, be done.

⁴³And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.

⁴⁴And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

⁴⁵And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

⁴⁶And said unto them, Why sleep you2f? rise and pray, lest you2f enter into temptation.

⁴⁷And while he yet spoke, behold a multitude, and he that was called Y’hudah [praised], one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Yeshua [God is Salvation] to kiss him.

⁴⁸But Yeshua [God is Salvation] said unto him, Y’hudah [praised], betray youi the Son of Man with a kiss?

⁴⁹When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord - Kurios, shall we strike with the sword?

⁵⁰And one of them struck the slave of the High Priest, and cut off his right ear.

⁵¹And Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered and said, Suffer (allow, to let, permit) you2f thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

⁵²Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be you2f come out, as against a thief, with swords and rods (clubs)?

⁵³When I was daily with you in the temple, you2f stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

⁵⁴Then took they him, and led [him], and brought him into the high priest’s house. And Kefa [pebble] followed afar off.

⁵⁵And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Kefa [pebble] sat down among them.

⁵⁶But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.

⁵⁷And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.

⁵⁸And after a little while another saw him, and said, youi are also of them. And Kefa [pebble] said, Man, I am not.

⁵⁹And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a tthis [fellow] also was with him: for he is a Galilaean [circle].

⁶⁰And Kefa [pebble] said, Man, I know not what youi say. And immediately, while he yet spoke, the cock crew.

⁶¹And the Lord - Kurios turned, and looked upon Kefa [pebble]. And Kefa [pebble] remembered the word of the Lord - Kurios, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, youi shall deny me thrice.

⁶²And Kefa [pebble] went out, and wept bitterly.

⁶³And the men that held Yeshua [God is Salvation] deceived him, and struck [him].

⁶⁴And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck youi?

⁶⁵And many other things blasphemously spoke they against him.

⁶⁶And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the Torah-teachers (Scribes) came together, and led him into their council, saying,

⁶⁷Are youi the Moshiach [Messiah]? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, you2f will not believe:

⁶⁸And if I also ask [you], you2f will not answer me, nor let [me] go.

⁶⁹Hereafter shall the Son of Man sit on the right hand of the power of God-Theos.

⁷⁰Then said they all, Are youi then the Son of God-Theos? And he said unto them, You2f say that I am.

⁷¹And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.

¹And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate [armed with a spear].

²And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this [fellow] perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar [venerable], saying that he himself is Moshiach [Messiah] a King.

³And Pilate [armed with a spear] asked him, saying, Are youi the King of the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah]? And he answered him and said, youi say [it].

⁴Then said Pilate [armed with a spear] to the chief priests and [to] the people, I find no fault in this man.

⁵And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galil [circuit, district] to this place.

⁶When Pilate [armed with a spear] heard of Galil [circuit, district], he asked whether the man were a Galilaean [circle].

⁷And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod [heroic]’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod [heroic], who himself also was at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] at that time.

⁸And when Herod [heroic] saw Yeshua [God is Salvation], he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long [season], because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

⁹Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

¹⁰And the chief priests and Torah-teachers (Scribes) stood and vehemently accused him.

¹¹And Herod [heroic] with his men of war set him at nothing, and deceived [him], and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate [armed with a spear].

¹²And the same day Pilate [armed with a spear] and Herod [heroic] were made friends together: for before they were at hatred (being an enemy) between themselves.

¹³And Pilate [armed with a spear], when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

¹⁴Said unto them, You2f have brought this man unto me, as one that perverts the people: and, behold, I, having examined [him] before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof you2f accuse him:

¹⁵No, nor yet Herod [heroic]: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.

¹⁶I will therefore chastise him, and release [him].

¹⁷(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

¹⁸And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this [man], and release unto us Bar-Abba [son of a father]:

¹⁹(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

²⁰Pilate [armed with a spear] therefore, willing to release Yeshua [God is Salvation], spoke again to them.

²¹But they cried, saying, Crucify [him], crucify him.

²²And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil has he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let [him] go.

²³And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴And Pilate [armed with a spear] gave sentence that it should be as they required.

²⁵And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Yeshua [God is Salvation] to their will.

²⁶And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Shim’on [he has heard], a Cyrenian [supremacy of the bridle], coming out of the country, and on him they laid the stake (cross), that he might bear [it] after Yeshua [God is Salvation].

²⁷And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.

²⁸But Yeshua [God is Salvation] turning unto them said, Daughters of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

²⁹For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [are] the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts which never gave suck.

³⁰Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

³¹For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

³²And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

³³And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

³⁴Then said Yeshua [God is Salvation], Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his clothing, and cast lots.

³⁵And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided [him], saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Moshiach [Messiah], the chosen of God-Theos.

³⁶And the soldiers also deceived him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

³⁷And saying, If youi be the king of the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah], save yourself.

³⁸And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek [unstable: the miry one], and Latin, and ‘Evri’ot [Hebrew], THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁹And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If youi be Moshiach [Messiah], save yourself and us.

⁴⁰But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Do not youi fear God-Theos, seeing youi are in the same condemnation?

⁴¹And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man has done nothing amiss.

⁴²And he said unto Yeshua [God is Salvation], Lord - Kurios, remember me when youi come into youri kingdom.

⁴³And Yeshua [God is Salvation] said unto him, Truly I say unto youi, To day shall youi be with me in paradise.

⁴⁴And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

⁴⁵And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

⁴⁶And when Yeshua [God is Salvation] had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into youri hands I commend my Spirit [Ruach]: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

⁴⁷Now when the Centurion (Roman commander of an hundred men) saw what was done, he glorified God-Theos, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

⁴⁸And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, struck their breasts, and returned.

⁴⁹And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galil [circuit, district], stood afar off, beholding these things.

⁵⁰And, behold, [there was] a man named Yosef [God will add], a counsellor; [and he was] a good man, and a just:

⁵¹(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) [he was] of Ramatayim [heights], a city of the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah]: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God-Theos.

⁵²This [man] went unto Pilate [armed with a spear], and begged the body of Yeshua [God is Salvation].

⁵³And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was cut in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

⁵⁴And that day was the preparation, and the Shabbat [rest] drew on.

⁵⁵And the women also, which came with him from Galil [circuit, district], followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

⁵⁶And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Shabbat [rest] day according to the commandment.

¹Now upon the first [day] of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain [others] with them.

²And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

³And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation].

⁴And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

⁵And as they were afraid, and bowed down [their] faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek you2f the living among the dead?

⁶He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke unto you when he was yet in Galil [circuit, district],

⁷Saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

⁸And they remembered his words,

⁹And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

¹⁰It was Miryam [waters of strength] Magdala [a tower], and Yochanan [gift of God], and Miryam [waters of strength] [the mother] of Ya’akov [heal-grabber], and other [women that were] with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

¹¹And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

¹²Then arose Kefa [pebble], and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

¹³And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] [about] threescore furlongs.

¹⁴And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

¹⁵And it came to pass, that, while they communed [together] and reasoned, Yeshua [God is Salvation] himself drew near, and went with them.

¹⁶But their eyes were held that they should not know him.

¹⁷And he said unto them, What manner of communications [are] these that you2f have one to another, as you2f walk, and are sad?

¹⁸And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Are youi only a stranger in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and have not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

¹⁹And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Yeshua [God is Salvation] of Natzeret [one separated], which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God-Theos and all the people:

²⁰And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

²¹But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God]: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

²²Yes, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;

²³And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.

²⁴And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found [it] even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

²⁵Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

²⁶Ought not Moshiach [Messiah] to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

²⁷And beginning at Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

²⁸And they drew near unto the village, to which they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.

²⁹But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to wait with them.

³⁰And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [it], and broke, and gave to them.

³¹And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

³²And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

³³And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

³⁴Saying, The Lord - Kurios is risen indeed, and has appeared to Shim’on [he has heard].

³⁵And they told what things [were done] in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

³⁶And as they thus spoke, Yeshua [God is Salvation] himself stood in the midst of them, and says unto them, Peace [be] unto you.

³⁷But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a Spirit [Ruach].

³⁸And he said unto them, Why are you2f troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

³⁹Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a Spirit [Ruach] has not flesh and bones, as you2f see me have.

⁴⁰And when he had thus spoken, he showed them [his] hands and [his] feet.

⁴¹And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have you2f here any meat?

⁴²And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

⁴³And he took [it], and did eat before them.

⁴⁴And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters], and [in] the prophets, and [in] the psalms, concerning me.

⁴⁵Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

⁴⁶And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Moshiach [Messiah] to suffer (allow, to let, permit), and to rise from the dead the third day:

⁴⁷And that repentance and forgiveness (pardon) of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

⁴⁸And you2f are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but wait you2f in the city of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], until you2f be endued with power from on high.

⁵⁰And he led them out as far as to Beit-Anyah [house of figs], and he lifted up his hands, and Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) them.

⁵¹And it came to pass, while he Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

⁵²And they worshipped him, and returned to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] with great joy:

⁵³And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God-Theos. Amen.
