4 how he entered the house of Elohim and ate the prothesis bread - which neither he is allowed to eat nor them with him - except only the priests?
5 Or read you not in the torah, how that in the shabbaths the priests in the priestal precinct profane the shabbath and are unaccused?
6 But I word to you, That a greater than the priestal precinct is here.
7 But if you had known what this is, I will mercy, and not sacrifice, you had not adjudged the unaccused.
8 For the Son of humanity is Adonay even of the shabbath. Hosea 6:6
9
YAH SHUA HEALS ON THE SHABBATH
And he departs from there and enters their synagogue: 10 and behold, a human whose hand is withered. And they ask him, wording, Is it allowed to cure in the shabbaths? - to accuse him. 11 And he says to them, What human of you, having one sheep, and whenever it falls into a cistern in the shabbaths overpowers he not indeed it and lifts it out? 12 So how much a human surpasses a sheep? So it is allowed to do well in the shabbaths. 13 Then he words to the human, Spread your hand. - and he spreads; and it restores whole, as the other. 14 And the Pharisees go, and take council against him on how to destroy him. 15
YAH SHUA CURES THE MULTITUDES
And Yah Shua knows and withdraws himself from there: and vast multitudes follow him and he cures them all: 16 and admonishes them to not make him manifest: 17 to fulfill/shalam that rhetorized through Yesha Yah the prophet, wording, 18 Behold my lad, whom I chose; my beloved of whom my soul well-approves: I put my spirit on him and he shows judgment to the goyim: 19 he neither strives, nor cries; nor anyone hear his voice in the broadways: 20 he neither breaks a crushed reed nor quenches a smoking linen until he sends judgment to triumph: 21 and in his name, the goyim hope. { Isaiah 42:1-4 \ul0 22 Then they offer him someone demonized, blind and mute; and he cures him so that the blind and mute both speaks and observes. 23 And all the multitude is astounded, and word, Is not this the son of David? 24
PHARISEES BLASPHEME THE HOLY SPIRIT
But the Pharisees hear, and say, This one ejects not demons, except in Baal Zebub the arch of demons. 25 And Yah Shua knows their deliberations, and says to them, Every sovereigndom divided against itself desolates; and every city or house divided against itself stands not: 26 and if Satan ejects Satan, he divides against himself: so how stands his sovereigndom? 27 And if I eject demons in Baal Zebub, in whom do your sons eject? So they become your judges. 28 But if I eject demons in the Spirit of Elohim, then the sovereigndom of Elohim arrives upon you. 29 How can any enter the house of a strong man, and plunder his vessels, unless he first bind the strong man? - and then he plunders his house. 30 Whoever is not with me, is against me; and whoever gathers not with me scatters. 31
THE UNFORGIVEN SIN
Because of this I word to you, Every sin and blasphemy is forgiven humanity: but the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is not forgiven humanity: 32 and whoever says a word against the Son of humanity, is forgiven: but whoever says against the Holy Spirit, is not forgiven - neither in this eon nor in the about to be. 33 Either make the tree good and his fruit good; or else make the tree putrefied and his fruit putrefied: - for the tree is known by its fruit. 34
YAH SHUA DENOUNCES THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES
O progeny of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good? For the mouth speaks from the super abundance of the heart: 35 a good human from the good treasure of the heart ejects good: and an evil human from the evil treasure ejects evil. 36 But I word to you, That every idle rhema - whatever humanity speaks, renders word concerning it in the day of judgment: 37 for by your words you are justified; and by your words you are adjudged. 38
YAH SHUA PROPHESIES HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION
Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answer, wording, Doctor, we will to see a sign from you. 39 But he answers them, saying, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and no sign is given except the sign of the prophet Yonah: 40 for exactly as Yonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the monster; thus is the Son of humanity three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41
YAH SHUA PROPHESIES CONDEMNATION
Men - Nineviy rise in judgment with this generation and condemn it: because they repented in the preaching of Yonah; and behold, much more than Yonah is here. 42 The sovereigness of the south rises in the judgment with this generation, and condemns it: for she came from the extremities of the earth to hear the wisdom of Shelomoh; and behold, much more than Shelomoh is here. 43
IMPURE SPIRITS
Whenever the impure spirit comes from a human he passes through waterless places, seeks rest, and finds none. 44 Then he words, I return to my house whence I come. - and when he comes he finds it empty, swept and adorned. 45 Then he goes and takes seven other spirits with him - more evil than himself; and they enter and settle there: and the final state of that human becomes worse than the first. Even so be it also to this evil generation. 46
RELATIONSHIP WITH YAH SHUA
And he still speaks to the multitudes; and behold, his mother and his brothers stand outside seeking to speak with him: 47 and someone says to him, Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak with you. 48 But he answers, saying to him who told him, Who is my mother? And who are my brothers? 49 - and he spreads his hand toward his disciples and says, Behold my mother and my brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in the heavens, the same is my brother and sister and mother. 13 1
THE PARABLES OF THE SOVEREIGNDOM
And in that day Yah Shua comes from the house and sits by the sea side: 2 and vast multitudes gather together to him; and so he embarks in a sailer, and sits; and the whole multitude stands on the shore. 3
THE PARABLE OF THE SPORER
And he speaks much to them in parables, wording, Behold, a sporer comes to spore: 4 and in his sporing, some indeed falls by the way side; and the flyers come and devour them. 5 Others fall on rocky, where they have not much soil; and straightway they spring up because they have no depth of soil: 6 and the sun rises and they scorch; and because they have no root, they wither. 7 And others fall among thorns; and the thorns ascend and choke them. 8 And others fall on good soil and give fruit: some indeed a hundredfold; some sixtyfold; some thirtyfold. 9 Whoever has ears to hear, Hear. 10
WHY PARABLES?
And the disciples come and say to him, Why speak you to them in parables? 11 He answers them, saying, Because you are given to know the mysteries of the sovereigndom of the heavens; but they are not given: 12 for whoever has, is given; and superabounds: but whoever has not, even what he has is taken away. 13 So I speak to them in parables: because in observing, they observe not; and hearing, they hear not; and they comprehend not. 14 And in them is fulfilled/shalamed the prophecy of Yesha Yah - which words, By hearing you hear, and no way comprehend; - and by observing you observe, and no way perceive: 15 for this people callous their heart and dull their ears from hearing and shut their eyes - lest ever they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and comprehend with their heart and turn around; and I heal them. Isaiah 6:9,10 16 But blessed - your eyes; for they observe: and your ears; for they hear. 17 For Amen! I word to you, That many prophets and just panted to observe what you see; and saw them not: and to hear what you hear; and heard them not: 18 so hear the parable of the sporer. 19
THE PARABLE EXPLAINED
When anyone hears the word of the sovereigndom and comprehends not, the evil one comes and seizes what is spored in his heart: this is that spored by the way side. 20 And that spored on the rocky is whoever hears the word: and straightway takes it with cheer; 21 yet has he no root in himself but is temporary: for when tribulation or persecution become because of the word, he is straightway scandalized. 22 And that spored in the thorns is whoever hears the word: and the anxiety of this eon and the deceitfulness of riches strangle the word; and he becomes unfruitful. 23 And that spored in the good soil is whoever hears the word and comprehends: and now bears fruit and produces - some indeed a hundredfold; some sixty; some thirty. 24
THE PARABLE OF THE DARNEL AND SPERMA
He sets them another parable, wording, The sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to a human who spores good sperma in his field: 25 and while humanity sleeps his enemy comes and spores darnel among the grain and goes his way: 26 and when the herbage sprouts and produces fruit, then the darnel also manifests: 27 and the servants of the housedespotes come and say to him, Adoni, spored you not indeed good sperma in your field? So why has it darnel? 28 He says to them, An enemy - a human did this. The servants say to him, So will you that we go and gather them? 29 And he says, No; lest in gathering the darnel you also uproot the grain simultaneously: 30 allow both to grow together until the harvest: and in the season of harvest I say to the harvesters, First gather the darnel and bind them in bundles to burn: and gather the grain into my granary. 31
THE PARABLE OF THE MUSTARD KERNEL
He sets them another parable, wording, The sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to a kernal of mustard; which a human takes and spores in his field: 32 which indeed is the least of all spermas: but whenever it is grown it is the greatest among herbs; and becomes a tree: so that the flyers of the heavens come and nest in the branches thereof. 33
THE PARABLE OF FERMENTATION
He speaks another parable to them: The sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to fermentation; that a woman takes and hides in three seahs of flour until the whole is fermented. 34
THE PURPOSE OF PARABLES
Yah Shua speaks all these to the multitude in parables; and speaks not to them apart from a parable: 35 to fulfill/shalam that rhetorized through the prophet, wording, I open my mouth in parables: I utter those which have been secreted from the foundation of the cosmos. Psalm 78:2 36
THE PARABLE OF THE DARNEL AND SPERMA EXPLAINED
Then Yah Shua releases the multitude and goes in the house: and his disciples come to him, wording, Declare to us the parable of the darnel of the field. 37 He answers them, saying, He who spores the good sperma is the Son of humanity: 38 the field is the cosmos; the good sperma are the sons of the sovereigndom; and the darnel are the sons of the evil; 39 the enemy who spores them is Diabolos; the harvest is the completion/shalom of the eon; and the harvesters are the angels: 40 so exactly as the darnel are gathered and burned in the fire, so be it in the completion/shalom of this eon. 41 The Son of humanity apostolizes his angels, and from his sovereigndom they gather all who scandalize and who violate the torah; 42 and cast them into a furnace of fire: and there becomes wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the just resplend as the sun in the sovereigndom of their Father. Whoever has ears to hear, hear. Revelation 14:14-20 44
THE PARABLE OF THE SECRETED TREASURE
Again, the sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to treasure secreted in a field: which, when a human finds, he secretes; and for cheer thereof goes and sells all - as much as he has, and markets that field. 45
THE PARABLE OF THE PRECIOUS PEARL
Again, the sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to a human merchant seeking goodly pearls: 46 who, when he finds one pearl, vastly precious, goes and sells all - as much as he has and markets it. 47
THE PARABLE OF THE NET
Again, the sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to a net cast into the sea: and gathers together of every genos: 48 which, when it fills full, they draw to shore; and sit down, and gather the good in vessels, but cast out the putrefied. 49
THE COMPLETION/SHALOM OF THE EON
So be it at the completion/shalom of the eon: the angels come and set the evil apart from among the just 50 and cast them into the furnace of fire: there becomes wailing and gnashing of teeth. 51 Yah Shua words to them, Comprehend you all these? They word to him, Yes, Adonay. 52
THE PARABLE OF THE HOUSEDESPOTES
And he says to them, So every scribe discipled to the sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to a human housedespotes who ejects new and old from his treasure. 53
YAH SHUA REJECTED IN HIS FATHERLAND
And so be it, when Yah Shua completes/shalams these parables he departs from there 54 and comes to his fatherland and doctrinates in their synagogue, so that they are astonished, and word, Whence has this man this wisdom and these dynamis? 55 Is not this the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother indeed worded Miryam? And his brothers, Yaaqovos and Yoses and Shimon and Yah Hudah? 56 And his sisters, are they not indeed all with us? So whence has this man all these? 57 - and they are scandalized in him. And Yah Shua says to them, A prophet is not dishonored except in his own fatherland and in his own house. 58 - and he did not many dynamis there because of their trustlessness. 14 1
YAHN THE BAPTIZER BEHEADED
At that season Herod the tetrarch hears of the fame of Yah Shua, 2 and says to his lads, This is Yahn the Baptizer; he is risen from the dead; and because of this, dynamis energizes in him. 3 For Herod had overpowered Yahn, and bound him, and put him in a guardhouse for sake of Herodias the woman of his brother Philippos: 4 for Yahn had worded to him, You are not allowed to have her! 5 - and he wills to slaughter him but he awes the multitude because they regard him as a prophet. 6 But the birthday of Herod is brought on; and the daughter of Herodias dances among them and pleases Herod: 7 whereupon he professes with an oath to give her whatever she asks. 8 And she, being previously instigated by her mother, Give me here, she says, the head of Yahn the Baptizer on a platter. 9 And the sovereign sorrows: nevertheless for sake of the oath and them who repose with him, he summons to give it to her: 10 and he sends and beheads Yahn in the guardhouse: 11 and they bring his head on a platter and give it to the maiden: and she brings it to her mother. 12 And his disciples come and take the body and entomb it; and go and evangelize to Yah Shua. 13 When Yah Shua hears he departs in a sailer privately to a desolate place: and when the multitude hears thereof they follow him on foot from the cities: 14 and Yah Shua goes and sees a great vast multitude and has a sympathetic spleen toward them; and he cures their infirm. 15
YAH SHUA FEEDS FIVE THOUSAND
And being evening; his disciples come to him, wording, This is a desolate place and the hour is already past; release the multitude to go to the villages and market themselves food. 16 And Yah Shua says to them, They need not depart; you give them to eat. 17 And they word to him, We have naught here except only five breads and two fishes. 18 He says, Bring them here to me. 19 - and he summons the multitude to recline on the herbage; and takes the five breads and the two fishes; and looking to the heavens, he eulogizes and breaks and gives the breads to his disciples - and the disciples to the multitude. 20 And they all eat, and fill up: and they take twelve baskets full of the fragments that superabound: 21 and there are about five thousand men who eat apart from women and children. 22 And straightway Yah Shua compels his disciples to embark into a sailer and to precede him across while he releases the multitudes. 23
YAH SHUA WALKS ON THE SEA
And he releases the multitudes and ascends to a mountain privately to pray: and being evening; and he is there alone: 24 and the sailer is already midst the sea tortured by waves - for the wind is contrary: 25 and in the fourth guard of the night Yah Shua goes to them, walking on the sea. 26 And the disciples see him walking on the sea and they are troubled, wording, It is a phantasm! - and they cry out for awe. 27 But straightway Yah Shua speaks to them, wording, Courage! I AM; Awe not! 28
PETROS WALKS ON THE SEA
And Petros answers him, saying, Adonay, if it is you, summon me to come to you on the water. 29 And he says, Come. And Petros descends from the sailer; and he walks on the water to go to Yah Shua: 30 but he observes the mighty wind, and he awes; and beginning to submerge, he cries, wording, Adonay, save me! 31 And straightway Yah Shua spreads his hand, and takes hold of him, and words to him, O you of little trust! Why doubt you? 32 And they embark into the sailer and the wind relaxes: 33 and they in the sailer come and worship him, wording, Truly you are the Son of Elohim. 34 And they go over and come to the land of Kinneroth: 35 and the men of that place know about him and they apostolize all around that country; and offer him all who are ill; 36 and beseech him to only touch the edge of his garment: and as many as touch are saved. 15 1
MISVAH VS TRADITION
Then the scribes and Pharisees of Yeru Shalem come to Yah Shua, wording, 2 Why transgress your disciples the tradition of the elders? For they wash not their hands whenever they eat bread. 3 And he answers them, saying, Why transgress you also the misvah of Elohim for your tradition? 4 For Elohim misvahed, wording, Honor your father and mother: and, Whoever vilifies father or mother, deathify him to death. 5 But you word, Whoever says to his father or his mother, An oblation - by whatever you benefit by me; 6 and in no way honors his father or his mother. - thus you invalidate the misvah of Elohim for your tradition. Exodus 20:12, 21:17 7 You hypocrites, Yesha Yah prophesied well concerning you, wording, 8 This people approaches me with their mouth and honors me with their lips; but their heart is far from me: 9 and in vain they venerate me, doctrinating for doctrines the misvoth of humanity. Isaiah Yah 29:13 10 And he calls the multitude, and says to them, Hear, and comprehend: 11 not what enters the mouth profanes a human; but what proceeds from the mouth profanes a human. 12 Then his disciples come and say to him, Know you that the Pharisees are scandalized after they hear this word? 13 And he answers, saying, Every plant my Father of the heavenlies has not planted, uproots. 14 Allow them: they are blind guides of the blind: and whenever the blind guide the blind both fall into the cistern. 15 So Petros answers him, saying, Declare this parable to us. 16
ENTERING THE MOUTH VS PROCEEDING FROM THE MOUTH
And Yah Shua says, Are you also yet noncomprehending? 17 Comprehend you not yet that all that enters the mouth passes into the belly and ejects into the privy? 18 But whatever proceeds from the mouth comes from the heart and profanes the human. 19
FROM THE HEART VS FROM THE MOUTH
For from the heart proceed evil reasonings, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, pseudo witnesses, blasphemies: 20 these are those that profane a human: but to eat with unwashed hands profanes not a human. 21
YAH SHUA EJECTS A DEMON
And Yah Shua goes there and departs to the parts of Sor and Sidon: 22 and behold, a woman - a Kenaaniy comes from the same boundaries, and cries to him, wording, Mercy me, O Adonay, you son of David; my daughter is evilly demonized. 23 But he answers her not a word: and his disciples come and ask him, wording, Release her; for she cries after us. 24 But he answers, saying, I am not apostolized except only to the lost sheep of the house of Yisra El. 25 She comes and worships him, wording, Adonay, help me. 26 But he answers, saying, It is not good to take the bread of children and to cast it to puppies. 27 And she says, Yes, Adonay: yet indeed the puppies eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their adoni. 28 Then Yah Shua answers her, saying, O woman, how mega your trust: so be it to you even as you will. - and her daughter is whole from that very hour. 29
YAH SHUA CURES THE MULTITUDES
And Yah Shua departs from there and comes near the sea of Galiyl; and ascends a mountain and sits: 30 and vast multitudes come to him; having the lame, blind, mute, maimed and many others with them, and they toss them at the feet of Yah Shua; and he cures them: 31 so that the multitude marvels - observing mute speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and the blind observing: and they glorify the Elohim of Yisra El. 32
YAH SHUA FEEDS FOUR THOUSAND
And Yah Shua calls his disciples to him, and says, I have a sympathetic spleen on the multitude; because they already abide with me three days and have naught to eat: and I will to not release them fasting - lest ever they faint in the way. 33 And his disciples word to him, Whence we have so much bread in the wilderness to fill so vast a multitude? 34 And Yah Shua words to them, How many breads have you? And they say, Seven, and a few fishling. 35 And he summons the multitude to repose on the soil: 36 and he takes the seven breads and the fishes, and eucharistizes and breaks and gives to his disciples; and his disciples to the multitude. 37 and they all eat, and fill: and they take seven baskets full of the fragments that superabound: 38 and four thousand men eat apart from women and children. 39 And he releases the multitude and embarks in a sailer and goes to the boundaries of Magdala. 16 1
YAH SHUA REBUKES THE PHARISEES AND THE SADOQIYM
And the Pharisees and Sadoqiym come testing; and ask him to show them a sign from the heavens. 2 He answers them, saying, And being evening, you word, Fair weather! - for the heavens are fiery: 3 and in the early morning, Downpour today! - for the heavens are fiery and gloomy. Hypocrites! You indeed know to discern the face of the heavens; but the signs of the seasons you cannot. 4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign; and no sign is given except the sign of the prophet Yonah. - and he leaves them, and departs. 5
YAH SHUA INTERPRETS THE PARABLE OF FERMENTATION
And his disciples go across; and they forget to take bread: 6 and Yah Shua says to them, See and heed the fermentation of the Pharisees and of the Sadoqiym. 7 And they reason among themselves, wording, Because we took no bread. 8 And Yah Shua, knowing, says to them, O you of little trust! Why reason you among yourselves, because you took no bread? 9 Comprehend you not yet? Neither remember the five breads of the five thousand - and how many baskets you took? 10 nor the seven breads of the four thousand - and how many baskets you took? 11 How is it that you comprehend not that I say not to you concerning bread - but to heed the fermentation of the Pharisees and of the Sadoqiym? 12 Then they comprehend that he says not to them to heed the fermentation of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadoqiym. 13
OPINIONS CONCERNING YAH SHUA
And Yah Shua enters the parts of Kaisaria Philippos; and asks his disciples, wording, Whom words humanity me the Son of humanity to be? 14 And they say, Some indeed, Yahn the Baptizer: others, Eli Yah: and others, Yirme Yah: or, One of the prophets. 15
THE WITNESS OF PETROS CONCERNING YAH SHUA
He words to them, And You, whom word you me to be? 16 And Shimon Petros answers, saying, You are the Messiah, the Son of the living Elohim. 17 And Yah Shua answers him, saying, Blessed - you, Shimon Bar Yonah: for flesh and blood unveiled not to you but my Father in the heavens. 18 And I also word to you, that you are Petros/Rock: and on this rock/petra I build my ecclesia; and the gates of sheol/hades overpower it not: 19 and I give you the keys of the sovereigndom of the heavens: and whatever you bind on earth becomes bound in the heavens: and whatever you release on earth becomes released in the heavens. 20 Then he charges his disciples to say to no one that he is Yah Shua the Messiah. 21
YAH SHUA PROPHESIES HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION
From then Yah Shua begins to show his disciples how he must go to Yeru Shalem; and suffer much from the elders and archpriests and scribes - slaughtered and rise again the third day. 22 And Petros takes him and begins to rebuke him, wording, Kapur/Atone to you, Adonay: this never no way becomes you. 23 And he turns to Petros, saying, Go you behind me, Satan! You are a scandal to me: for you mind not those of Elohim but those of humanity. 24 Then Yah Shua says to his disciples, If anyone wills to come after me, he is to utterly deny himself, and take his stake and follow me. 25
LOSE THE SOUL TO FIND THE SOUL
For whoever wills to save his soul, loses it: and whoever loses his soul for my sake, finds it: 26 for what is a human benefited whenever he gains the whole cosmos and loses his own soul? Or what gives a human in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of humanity comes in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he gives each according to his acts. 28 Amen! I word to you, Some standing here never no way taste death until they see the Son of humanity coming in his sovereigndom. 17 1
THE METAMORPHOSIS OF YAH SHUA
And after six days Yah Shua takes Petros, Yaaqovos, and Yahn his brother, and privately brings them to a high mountain; 2 and is metamorphosed in front of them: and his face radiates as the sun and his garment becomes white as the light: 3 and behold, Mosheh and Eli Yah appear to them, talking with him. 4 And Petros answers Yah Shua, saying, Adonay, it is good for us to be here: if you will, we make three tabernacles here; one for you and one for Mosheh and one for Eli Yah. 5 While he still speaks, behold, a brightly lighted cloud overshadows them: and behold, a voice from the cloud, wording, This is my beloved Son, of whom I well-approve: Hear him! 6 - and the disciples hear and they fall on their face and are extremely awestricken. 7 And Yah Shua comes and touches them, and says, Rise! and, Be not awestricken! 8 And they lift their eyes and see no one - except Yah Shua only. 9 And as they descend the mountain, Yah Shua misvahs them, wording, Say the vision to no one, until the Son of humanity rises from the dead. 10
YAHN THE BAPTIZER IS THE ELI YAH TO COME
And his disciples ask him, wording, So why word the scribes that Eli Yah must first come? 11 And Yah Shua answers them, saying, Eli Yah indeed comes first and restores all: 12 and I word to you, that Eli Yah has already come: and they know him not but did in him as much as they willed: Thus also the Son of humanity suffers of them. 13 Then the disciples comprehend that he says to them concerning Yahn the Baptizer. 14
YAH SHUA REBUKES A DEMON
And they go to the multitude, and a human comes to him - kneeling to him, and wording, 15 Adonay, mercy my son: for he is lunatick and suffers evilly: for he falls often into the fire and often into the water: 16 and I offered him to your disciples, and they cannot cure him. 17 So Yah Shua answers, saying, O trustless and thoroughly perverted generation! Until when am I with you? Until when tolerate I you? Bring him here to me. 18 And Yah Shua rebukes the demon; and he departs from him: and the lad is cured from that very hour. 19 Then the disciples come to Yah Shua privately, and say, Why could we not eject him? 20 And Yah Shua says to them, Because of your trustlessness! Amen! I word to you, whenever you have trust as a kernal of mustard, you say to this mountain, Depart hence to yonder place! - it departs: - and naught is impossible to you 21 - and this genos proceeds not except in prayer and fasting. 22
YAH SHUA PROPHESIES HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION
And they remain in Galiyl, and Yah Shua says to them, The Son of humanity is about to be betrayed into the hands of humanity: 23 and they slaughter him; and the third day he rises. - and they are extremely sorrowed. 24
THE DOUBLE DRACHMA
And they come to Kaphar Nachum: and they who take the double drachma come to Petros, and say, Your doctor - completes/shalams he not the double drachma? 25 He words, Yes. And he enters the house; and Yah Shua anticipates him, wording, What think you, Shimon? Of whom do the sovereigns of the earth take completion/shalom or tribute? - Of their own sons? Or of others? 26 Petros words to him, Of others. Yah Shua says to him, Then indeed the sons are liberated: 27 but lest we scandalize them, go to the sea and cast a hook; and take the first fish that ascends; and when you open his mouth, you find a stater: take that, and give to them for me and you. 18 1
THE GREATEST IN THE SOVEREIGNDOM OF THE HEAVENS
At the same hour the disciples come to Yah Shua, wording, Who then is the greatest in the sovereigndom of the heavens? 2 And Yah Shua calls a little child to him, and sets him midst them, 3 and says, Amen! I word to you, Unless you turn and become as little children, you never no way enter the sovereigndom of the heavens. 4 So whoever humbles himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the sovereigndom of the heavens: 5 and whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me: 6 and whoever scandalizes one of these little ones who trust in me, it is beneficial for him that a millstone turned by a burro hang around his neck, and that he submerge into the depth of the sea. 7 Woe to the cosmos because of scandals! for of necessity, scandals come; however woe to that human by whom the scandal comes! 8
AVOIDING SCANDALIZINGS
And if your hand or your foot scandalizes you, exscind them and cast them from you: it is well for you to enter life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet and cast into eternal fire. 9 And if your eye scandalizes you, pluck it and cast it from you: it is well for you to enter life one-eyed rather than having two eyes cast into the fire of Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning. 10 See that you not disesteem one of these little ones; for I word to you, That in the heavens, through all time, their angels see the face of my Father in the heavens. 11 For the Son of humanity comes to save the lost. 12
THE PARABLE OF THE WANDERING SHEEP
How think you? Whenever any human becomes a hundred sheep and one of them wanders, forsakes he not the ninety-nine, and goes to the mountains, and seeks that which wanders? 13 And so be it, whenever he finds it, Amen! I word to you, he cheers more over it than of the ninety-nine who wander not. 14 Even thus it is not the will in front of your Father in the heavens, that one of these little ones be lost. 15
A SINNING BROTHER
And whenever your brother sins to you, go and reprove him between you and him alone: whenever he hears you, you gain your brother: 16 but whenever he hears you not take one or two more with you; so that in the mouth of two or three witnesses you establish every rhema: 17 and whenever he refuses to hear them, say it to the ecclesia: and whenever he refuses to hear the ecclesia, he becomes to you exactly as the goyim and a customs agent. 18
BINDING AND RELEASING
Amen! I word to you, Whatever you bind on earth becomes bound in the heavens: whatever you release on earth becomes released in the heavens. 19
SYMPHONIZING TRUST
Again I word to you, That whenever two of you symphonize on earth concerning any matter - whatever they ask it becomes for them from my Father in the heavens: 20 for where two or three gather together in my name, I am there midst them. 21
THE PARABLE ON FORGIVENESS
Then Petros comes to him, saying, Adonay, how often sins my brother to me, and I forgive him? Until seven times? 22 Yah Shua words to him, I word not to you, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. 23 So the sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to a human sovereign, who wills to reckon word of his servants: 24 and he begins to reckon; they bring him a debtor of a myriad talent weights. 25 and having naught to give, his adoni summons to sell him and his woman and children, and all - as much as he has and to give back. 26 So the servant falls and worships him, wording, Adoni, have patience with me and I give you all. 27 And the adoni of that servant has a sympathetic spleen, and releases him, and forgives his debt. 28 But the same servant goes and finds one of his co-servants who is indebted a hundred denarion: and he overpowers him and strangles him, wording, Give me your debt. 29 And his co-servant falls to his feet, and beseeches him, wording, Have patience with me and I give you all. 30 And he wills not: but goes and casts him into a guardhouse until he gives the debt. 31 So when his co-servants see what became, they are extremely sorrowed, and come and tell their adoni all that became. 32 Then his adoni, after he calls him, words to him, O you evil servant, I forgave you all that debt because you besought me: 33 Ought you not also mercy your co-servant even as I mercied you? 34 - and his adoni is wroth and delivers him to the torturers, until he gives all he is indebted. 35 Thus likewise my Father in the heavenlies does also to you unless from your hearts you each forgive your brother his backslidings. 19 1 And so be it, Yah Shua completes/shalams these words, and departs from Galiyl and goes to the boundaries of Yah Hudah beyond Yarden; 2 and vast multitudes follow him; and he cures them there.
YAH SHUA HEALS ON THE SHABBATH
And he departs from there and enters their synagogue: 10 and behold, a human whose hand is withered. And they ask him, wording, Is it allowed to cure in the shabbaths? - to accuse him. 11 And he says to them, What human of you, having one sheep, and whenever it falls into a cistern in the shabbaths overpowers he not indeed it and lifts it out? 12 So how much a human surpasses a sheep? So it is allowed to do well in the shabbaths. 13 Then he words to the human, Spread your hand. - and he spreads; and it restores whole, as the other. 14 And the Pharisees go, and take council against him on how to destroy him. 15
YAH SHUA CURES THE MULTITUDES
And Yah Shua knows and withdraws himself from there: and vast multitudes follow him and he cures them all: 16 and admonishes them to not make him manifest: 17 to fulfill/shalam that rhetorized through Yesha Yah the prophet, wording, 18 Behold my lad, whom I chose; my beloved of whom my soul well-approves: I put my spirit on him and he shows judgment to the goyim: 19 he neither strives, nor cries; nor anyone hear his voice in the broadways: 20 he neither breaks a crushed reed nor quenches a smoking linen until he sends judgment to triumph: 21 and in his name, the goyim hope. { Isaiah 42:1-4 \ul0 22 Then they offer him someone demonized, blind and mute; and he cures him so that the blind and mute both speaks and observes. 23 And all the multitude is astounded, and word, Is not this the son of David? 24
PHARISEES BLASPHEME THE HOLY SPIRIT
But the Pharisees hear, and say, This one ejects not demons, except in Baal Zebub the arch of demons. 25 And Yah Shua knows their deliberations, and says to them, Every sovereigndom divided against itself desolates; and every city or house divided against itself stands not: 26 and if Satan ejects Satan, he divides against himself: so how stands his sovereigndom? 27 And if I eject demons in Baal Zebub, in whom do your sons eject? So they become your judges. 28 But if I eject demons in the Spirit of Elohim, then the sovereigndom of Elohim arrives upon you. 29 How can any enter the house of a strong man, and plunder his vessels, unless he first bind the strong man? - and then he plunders his house. 30 Whoever is not with me, is against me; and whoever gathers not with me scatters. 31
THE UNFORGIVEN SIN
Because of this I word to you, Every sin and blasphemy is forgiven humanity: but the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is not forgiven humanity: 32 and whoever says a word against the Son of humanity, is forgiven: but whoever says against the Holy Spirit, is not forgiven - neither in this eon nor in the about to be. 33 Either make the tree good and his fruit good; or else make the tree putrefied and his fruit putrefied: - for the tree is known by its fruit. 34
YAH SHUA DENOUNCES THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES
O progeny of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good? For the mouth speaks from the super abundance of the heart: 35 a good human from the good treasure of the heart ejects good: and an evil human from the evil treasure ejects evil. 36 But I word to you, That every idle rhema - whatever humanity speaks, renders word concerning it in the day of judgment: 37 for by your words you are justified; and by your words you are adjudged. 38
YAH SHUA PROPHESIES HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION
Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answer, wording, Doctor, we will to see a sign from you. 39 But he answers them, saying, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and no sign is given except the sign of the prophet Yonah: 40 for exactly as Yonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the monster; thus is the Son of humanity three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41
YAH SHUA PROPHESIES CONDEMNATION
Men - Nineviy rise in judgment with this generation and condemn it: because they repented in the preaching of Yonah; and behold, much more than Yonah is here. 42 The sovereigness of the south rises in the judgment with this generation, and condemns it: for she came from the extremities of the earth to hear the wisdom of Shelomoh; and behold, much more than Shelomoh is here. 43
IMPURE SPIRITS
Whenever the impure spirit comes from a human he passes through waterless places, seeks rest, and finds none. 44 Then he words, I return to my house whence I come. - and when he comes he finds it empty, swept and adorned. 45 Then he goes and takes seven other spirits with him - more evil than himself; and they enter and settle there: and the final state of that human becomes worse than the first. Even so be it also to this evil generation. 46
RELATIONSHIP WITH YAH SHUA
And he still speaks to the multitudes; and behold, his mother and his brothers stand outside seeking to speak with him: 47 and someone says to him, Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak with you. 48 But he answers, saying to him who told him, Who is my mother? And who are my brothers? 49 - and he spreads his hand toward his disciples and says, Behold my mother and my brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in the heavens, the same is my brother and sister and mother. 13 1
THE PARABLES OF THE SOVEREIGNDOM
And in that day Yah Shua comes from the house and sits by the sea side: 2 and vast multitudes gather together to him; and so he embarks in a sailer, and sits; and the whole multitude stands on the shore. 3
THE PARABLE OF THE SPORER
And he speaks much to them in parables, wording, Behold, a sporer comes to spore: 4 and in his sporing, some indeed falls by the way side; and the flyers come and devour them. 5 Others fall on rocky, where they have not much soil; and straightway they spring up because they have no depth of soil: 6 and the sun rises and they scorch; and because they have no root, they wither. 7 And others fall among thorns; and the thorns ascend and choke them. 8 And others fall on good soil and give fruit: some indeed a hundredfold; some sixtyfold; some thirtyfold. 9 Whoever has ears to hear, Hear. 10
WHY PARABLES?
And the disciples come and say to him, Why speak you to them in parables? 11 He answers them, saying, Because you are given to know the mysteries of the sovereigndom of the heavens; but they are not given: 12 for whoever has, is given; and superabounds: but whoever has not, even what he has is taken away. 13 So I speak to them in parables: because in observing, they observe not; and hearing, they hear not; and they comprehend not. 14 And in them is fulfilled/shalamed the prophecy of Yesha Yah - which words, By hearing you hear, and no way comprehend; - and by observing you observe, and no way perceive: 15 for this people callous their heart and dull their ears from hearing and shut their eyes - lest ever they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and comprehend with their heart and turn around; and I heal them. Isaiah 6:9,10 16 But blessed - your eyes; for they observe: and your ears; for they hear. 17 For Amen! I word to you, That many prophets and just panted to observe what you see; and saw them not: and to hear what you hear; and heard them not: 18 so hear the parable of the sporer. 19
THE PARABLE EXPLAINED
When anyone hears the word of the sovereigndom and comprehends not, the evil one comes and seizes what is spored in his heart: this is that spored by the way side. 20 And that spored on the rocky is whoever hears the word: and straightway takes it with cheer; 21 yet has he no root in himself but is temporary: for when tribulation or persecution become because of the word, he is straightway scandalized. 22 And that spored in the thorns is whoever hears the word: and the anxiety of this eon and the deceitfulness of riches strangle the word; and he becomes unfruitful. 23 And that spored in the good soil is whoever hears the word and comprehends: and now bears fruit and produces - some indeed a hundredfold; some sixty; some thirty. 24
THE PARABLE OF THE DARNEL AND SPERMA
He sets them another parable, wording, The sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to a human who spores good sperma in his field: 25 and while humanity sleeps his enemy comes and spores darnel among the grain and goes his way: 26 and when the herbage sprouts and produces fruit, then the darnel also manifests: 27 and the servants of the housedespotes come and say to him, Adoni, spored you not indeed good sperma in your field? So why has it darnel? 28 He says to them, An enemy - a human did this. The servants say to him, So will you that we go and gather them? 29 And he says, No; lest in gathering the darnel you also uproot the grain simultaneously: 30 allow both to grow together until the harvest: and in the season of harvest I say to the harvesters, First gather the darnel and bind them in bundles to burn: and gather the grain into my granary. 31
THE PARABLE OF THE MUSTARD KERNEL
He sets them another parable, wording, The sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to a kernal of mustard; which a human takes and spores in his field: 32 which indeed is the least of all spermas: but whenever it is grown it is the greatest among herbs; and becomes a tree: so that the flyers of the heavens come and nest in the branches thereof. 33
THE PARABLE OF FERMENTATION
He speaks another parable to them: The sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to fermentation; that a woman takes and hides in three seahs of flour until the whole is fermented. 34
THE PURPOSE OF PARABLES
Yah Shua speaks all these to the multitude in parables; and speaks not to them apart from a parable: 35 to fulfill/shalam that rhetorized through the prophet, wording, I open my mouth in parables: I utter those which have been secreted from the foundation of the cosmos. Psalm 78:2 36
THE PARABLE OF THE DARNEL AND SPERMA EXPLAINED
Then Yah Shua releases the multitude and goes in the house: and his disciples come to him, wording, Declare to us the parable of the darnel of the field. 37 He answers them, saying, He who spores the good sperma is the Son of humanity: 38 the field is the cosmos; the good sperma are the sons of the sovereigndom; and the darnel are the sons of the evil; 39 the enemy who spores them is Diabolos; the harvest is the completion/shalom of the eon; and the harvesters are the angels: 40 so exactly as the darnel are gathered and burned in the fire, so be it in the completion/shalom of this eon. 41 The Son of humanity apostolizes his angels, and from his sovereigndom they gather all who scandalize and who violate the torah; 42 and cast them into a furnace of fire: and there becomes wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the just resplend as the sun in the sovereigndom of their Father. Whoever has ears to hear, hear. Revelation 14:14-20 44
THE PARABLE OF THE SECRETED TREASURE
Again, the sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to treasure secreted in a field: which, when a human finds, he secretes; and for cheer thereof goes and sells all - as much as he has, and markets that field. 45
THE PARABLE OF THE PRECIOUS PEARL
Again, the sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to a human merchant seeking goodly pearls: 46 who, when he finds one pearl, vastly precious, goes and sells all - as much as he has and markets it. 47
THE PARABLE OF THE NET
Again, the sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to a net cast into the sea: and gathers together of every genos: 48 which, when it fills full, they draw to shore; and sit down, and gather the good in vessels, but cast out the putrefied. 49
THE COMPLETION/SHALOM OF THE EON
So be it at the completion/shalom of the eon: the angels come and set the evil apart from among the just 50 and cast them into the furnace of fire: there becomes wailing and gnashing of teeth. 51 Yah Shua words to them, Comprehend you all these? They word to him, Yes, Adonay. 52
THE PARABLE OF THE HOUSEDESPOTES
And he says to them, So every scribe discipled to the sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to a human housedespotes who ejects new and old from his treasure. 53
YAH SHUA REJECTED IN HIS FATHERLAND
And so be it, when Yah Shua completes/shalams these parables he departs from there 54 and comes to his fatherland and doctrinates in their synagogue, so that they are astonished, and word, Whence has this man this wisdom and these dynamis? 55 Is not this the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother indeed worded Miryam? And his brothers, Yaaqovos and Yoses and Shimon and Yah Hudah? 56 And his sisters, are they not indeed all with us? So whence has this man all these? 57 - and they are scandalized in him. And Yah Shua says to them, A prophet is not dishonored except in his own fatherland and in his own house. 58 - and he did not many dynamis there because of their trustlessness. 14 1
YAHN THE BAPTIZER BEHEADED
At that season Herod the tetrarch hears of the fame of Yah Shua, 2 and says to his lads, This is Yahn the Baptizer; he is risen from the dead; and because of this, dynamis energizes in him. 3 For Herod had overpowered Yahn, and bound him, and put him in a guardhouse for sake of Herodias the woman of his brother Philippos: 4 for Yahn had worded to him, You are not allowed to have her! 5 - and he wills to slaughter him but he awes the multitude because they regard him as a prophet. 6 But the birthday of Herod is brought on; and the daughter of Herodias dances among them and pleases Herod: 7 whereupon he professes with an oath to give her whatever she asks. 8 And she, being previously instigated by her mother, Give me here, she says, the head of Yahn the Baptizer on a platter. 9 And the sovereign sorrows: nevertheless for sake of the oath and them who repose with him, he summons to give it to her: 10 and he sends and beheads Yahn in the guardhouse: 11 and they bring his head on a platter and give it to the maiden: and she brings it to her mother. 12 And his disciples come and take the body and entomb it; and go and evangelize to Yah Shua. 13 When Yah Shua hears he departs in a sailer privately to a desolate place: and when the multitude hears thereof they follow him on foot from the cities: 14 and Yah Shua goes and sees a great vast multitude and has a sympathetic spleen toward them; and he cures their infirm. 15
YAH SHUA FEEDS FIVE THOUSAND
And being evening; his disciples come to him, wording, This is a desolate place and the hour is already past; release the multitude to go to the villages and market themselves food. 16 And Yah Shua says to them, They need not depart; you give them to eat. 17 And they word to him, We have naught here except only five breads and two fishes. 18 He says, Bring them here to me. 19 - and he summons the multitude to recline on the herbage; and takes the five breads and the two fishes; and looking to the heavens, he eulogizes and breaks and gives the breads to his disciples - and the disciples to the multitude. 20 And they all eat, and fill up: and they take twelve baskets full of the fragments that superabound: 21 and there are about five thousand men who eat apart from women and children. 22 And straightway Yah Shua compels his disciples to embark into a sailer and to precede him across while he releases the multitudes. 23
YAH SHUA WALKS ON THE SEA
And he releases the multitudes and ascends to a mountain privately to pray: and being evening; and he is there alone: 24 and the sailer is already midst the sea tortured by waves - for the wind is contrary: 25 and in the fourth guard of the night Yah Shua goes to them, walking on the sea. 26 And the disciples see him walking on the sea and they are troubled, wording, It is a phantasm! - and they cry out for awe. 27 But straightway Yah Shua speaks to them, wording, Courage! I AM; Awe not! 28
PETROS WALKS ON THE SEA
And Petros answers him, saying, Adonay, if it is you, summon me to come to you on the water. 29 And he says, Come. And Petros descends from the sailer; and he walks on the water to go to Yah Shua: 30 but he observes the mighty wind, and he awes; and beginning to submerge, he cries, wording, Adonay, save me! 31 And straightway Yah Shua spreads his hand, and takes hold of him, and words to him, O you of little trust! Why doubt you? 32 And they embark into the sailer and the wind relaxes: 33 and they in the sailer come and worship him, wording, Truly you are the Son of Elohim. 34 And they go over and come to the land of Kinneroth: 35 and the men of that place know about him and they apostolize all around that country; and offer him all who are ill; 36 and beseech him to only touch the edge of his garment: and as many as touch are saved. 15 1
MISVAH VS TRADITION
Then the scribes and Pharisees of Yeru Shalem come to Yah Shua, wording, 2 Why transgress your disciples the tradition of the elders? For they wash not their hands whenever they eat bread. 3 And he answers them, saying, Why transgress you also the misvah of Elohim for your tradition? 4 For Elohim misvahed, wording, Honor your father and mother: and, Whoever vilifies father or mother, deathify him to death. 5 But you word, Whoever says to his father or his mother, An oblation - by whatever you benefit by me; 6 and in no way honors his father or his mother. - thus you invalidate the misvah of Elohim for your tradition. Exodus 20:12, 21:17 7 You hypocrites, Yesha Yah prophesied well concerning you, wording, 8 This people approaches me with their mouth and honors me with their lips; but their heart is far from me: 9 and in vain they venerate me, doctrinating for doctrines the misvoth of humanity. Isaiah Yah 29:13 10 And he calls the multitude, and says to them, Hear, and comprehend: 11 not what enters the mouth profanes a human; but what proceeds from the mouth profanes a human. 12 Then his disciples come and say to him, Know you that the Pharisees are scandalized after they hear this word? 13 And he answers, saying, Every plant my Father of the heavenlies has not planted, uproots. 14 Allow them: they are blind guides of the blind: and whenever the blind guide the blind both fall into the cistern. 15 So Petros answers him, saying, Declare this parable to us. 16
ENTERING THE MOUTH VS PROCEEDING FROM THE MOUTH
And Yah Shua says, Are you also yet noncomprehending? 17 Comprehend you not yet that all that enters the mouth passes into the belly and ejects into the privy? 18 But whatever proceeds from the mouth comes from the heart and profanes the human. 19
FROM THE HEART VS FROM THE MOUTH
For from the heart proceed evil reasonings, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, pseudo witnesses, blasphemies: 20 these are those that profane a human: but to eat with unwashed hands profanes not a human. 21
YAH SHUA EJECTS A DEMON
And Yah Shua goes there and departs to the parts of Sor and Sidon: 22 and behold, a woman - a Kenaaniy comes from the same boundaries, and cries to him, wording, Mercy me, O Adonay, you son of David; my daughter is evilly demonized. 23 But he answers her not a word: and his disciples come and ask him, wording, Release her; for she cries after us. 24 But he answers, saying, I am not apostolized except only to the lost sheep of the house of Yisra El. 25 She comes and worships him, wording, Adonay, help me. 26 But he answers, saying, It is not good to take the bread of children and to cast it to puppies. 27 And she says, Yes, Adonay: yet indeed the puppies eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their adoni. 28 Then Yah Shua answers her, saying, O woman, how mega your trust: so be it to you even as you will. - and her daughter is whole from that very hour. 29
YAH SHUA CURES THE MULTITUDES
And Yah Shua departs from there and comes near the sea of Galiyl; and ascends a mountain and sits: 30 and vast multitudes come to him; having the lame, blind, mute, maimed and many others with them, and they toss them at the feet of Yah Shua; and he cures them: 31 so that the multitude marvels - observing mute speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and the blind observing: and they glorify the Elohim of Yisra El. 32
YAH SHUA FEEDS FOUR THOUSAND
And Yah Shua calls his disciples to him, and says, I have a sympathetic spleen on the multitude; because they already abide with me three days and have naught to eat: and I will to not release them fasting - lest ever they faint in the way. 33 And his disciples word to him, Whence we have so much bread in the wilderness to fill so vast a multitude? 34 And Yah Shua words to them, How many breads have you? And they say, Seven, and a few fishling. 35 And he summons the multitude to repose on the soil: 36 and he takes the seven breads and the fishes, and eucharistizes and breaks and gives to his disciples; and his disciples to the multitude. 37 and they all eat, and fill: and they take seven baskets full of the fragments that superabound: 38 and four thousand men eat apart from women and children. 39 And he releases the multitude and embarks in a sailer and goes to the boundaries of Magdala. 16 1
YAH SHUA REBUKES THE PHARISEES AND THE SADOQIYM
And the Pharisees and Sadoqiym come testing; and ask him to show them a sign from the heavens. 2 He answers them, saying, And being evening, you word, Fair weather! - for the heavens are fiery: 3 and in the early morning, Downpour today! - for the heavens are fiery and gloomy. Hypocrites! You indeed know to discern the face of the heavens; but the signs of the seasons you cannot. 4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign; and no sign is given except the sign of the prophet Yonah. - and he leaves them, and departs. 5
YAH SHUA INTERPRETS THE PARABLE OF FERMENTATION
And his disciples go across; and they forget to take bread: 6 and Yah Shua says to them, See and heed the fermentation of the Pharisees and of the Sadoqiym. 7 And they reason among themselves, wording, Because we took no bread. 8 And Yah Shua, knowing, says to them, O you of little trust! Why reason you among yourselves, because you took no bread? 9 Comprehend you not yet? Neither remember the five breads of the five thousand - and how many baskets you took? 10 nor the seven breads of the four thousand - and how many baskets you took? 11 How is it that you comprehend not that I say not to you concerning bread - but to heed the fermentation of the Pharisees and of the Sadoqiym? 12 Then they comprehend that he says not to them to heed the fermentation of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadoqiym. 13
OPINIONS CONCERNING YAH SHUA
And Yah Shua enters the parts of Kaisaria Philippos; and asks his disciples, wording, Whom words humanity me the Son of humanity to be? 14 And they say, Some indeed, Yahn the Baptizer: others, Eli Yah: and others, Yirme Yah: or, One of the prophets. 15
THE WITNESS OF PETROS CONCERNING YAH SHUA
He words to them, And You, whom word you me to be? 16 And Shimon Petros answers, saying, You are the Messiah, the Son of the living Elohim. 17 And Yah Shua answers him, saying, Blessed - you, Shimon Bar Yonah: for flesh and blood unveiled not to you but my Father in the heavens. 18 And I also word to you, that you are Petros/Rock: and on this rock/petra I build my ecclesia; and the gates of sheol/hades overpower it not: 19 and I give you the keys of the sovereigndom of the heavens: and whatever you bind on earth becomes bound in the heavens: and whatever you release on earth becomes released in the heavens. 20 Then he charges his disciples to say to no one that he is Yah Shua the Messiah. 21
YAH SHUA PROPHESIES HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION
From then Yah Shua begins to show his disciples how he must go to Yeru Shalem; and suffer much from the elders and archpriests and scribes - slaughtered and rise again the third day. 22 And Petros takes him and begins to rebuke him, wording, Kapur/Atone to you, Adonay: this never no way becomes you. 23 And he turns to Petros, saying, Go you behind me, Satan! You are a scandal to me: for you mind not those of Elohim but those of humanity. 24 Then Yah Shua says to his disciples, If anyone wills to come after me, he is to utterly deny himself, and take his stake and follow me. 25
LOSE THE SOUL TO FIND THE SOUL
For whoever wills to save his soul, loses it: and whoever loses his soul for my sake, finds it: 26 for what is a human benefited whenever he gains the whole cosmos and loses his own soul? Or what gives a human in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of humanity comes in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he gives each according to his acts. 28 Amen! I word to you, Some standing here never no way taste death until they see the Son of humanity coming in his sovereigndom. 17 1
THE METAMORPHOSIS OF YAH SHUA
And after six days Yah Shua takes Petros, Yaaqovos, and Yahn his brother, and privately brings them to a high mountain; 2 and is metamorphosed in front of them: and his face radiates as the sun and his garment becomes white as the light: 3 and behold, Mosheh and Eli Yah appear to them, talking with him. 4 And Petros answers Yah Shua, saying, Adonay, it is good for us to be here: if you will, we make three tabernacles here; one for you and one for Mosheh and one for Eli Yah. 5 While he still speaks, behold, a brightly lighted cloud overshadows them: and behold, a voice from the cloud, wording, This is my beloved Son, of whom I well-approve: Hear him! 6 - and the disciples hear and they fall on their face and are extremely awestricken. 7 And Yah Shua comes and touches them, and says, Rise! and, Be not awestricken! 8 And they lift their eyes and see no one - except Yah Shua only. 9 And as they descend the mountain, Yah Shua misvahs them, wording, Say the vision to no one, until the Son of humanity rises from the dead. 10
YAHN THE BAPTIZER IS THE ELI YAH TO COME
And his disciples ask him, wording, So why word the scribes that Eli Yah must first come? 11 And Yah Shua answers them, saying, Eli Yah indeed comes first and restores all: 12 and I word to you, that Eli Yah has already come: and they know him not but did in him as much as they willed: Thus also the Son of humanity suffers of them. 13 Then the disciples comprehend that he says to them concerning Yahn the Baptizer. 14
YAH SHUA REBUKES A DEMON
And they go to the multitude, and a human comes to him - kneeling to him, and wording, 15 Adonay, mercy my son: for he is lunatick and suffers evilly: for he falls often into the fire and often into the water: 16 and I offered him to your disciples, and they cannot cure him. 17 So Yah Shua answers, saying, O trustless and thoroughly perverted generation! Until when am I with you? Until when tolerate I you? Bring him here to me. 18 And Yah Shua rebukes the demon; and he departs from him: and the lad is cured from that very hour. 19 Then the disciples come to Yah Shua privately, and say, Why could we not eject him? 20 And Yah Shua says to them, Because of your trustlessness! Amen! I word to you, whenever you have trust as a kernal of mustard, you say to this mountain, Depart hence to yonder place! - it departs: - and naught is impossible to you 21 - and this genos proceeds not except in prayer and fasting. 22
YAH SHUA PROPHESIES HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION
And they remain in Galiyl, and Yah Shua says to them, The Son of humanity is about to be betrayed into the hands of humanity: 23 and they slaughter him; and the third day he rises. - and they are extremely sorrowed. 24
THE DOUBLE DRACHMA
And they come to Kaphar Nachum: and they who take the double drachma come to Petros, and say, Your doctor - completes/shalams he not the double drachma? 25 He words, Yes. And he enters the house; and Yah Shua anticipates him, wording, What think you, Shimon? Of whom do the sovereigns of the earth take completion/shalom or tribute? - Of their own sons? Or of others? 26 Petros words to him, Of others. Yah Shua says to him, Then indeed the sons are liberated: 27 but lest we scandalize them, go to the sea and cast a hook; and take the first fish that ascends; and when you open his mouth, you find a stater: take that, and give to them for me and you. 18 1
THE GREATEST IN THE SOVEREIGNDOM OF THE HEAVENS
At the same hour the disciples come to Yah Shua, wording, Who then is the greatest in the sovereigndom of the heavens? 2 And Yah Shua calls a little child to him, and sets him midst them, 3 and says, Amen! I word to you, Unless you turn and become as little children, you never no way enter the sovereigndom of the heavens. 4 So whoever humbles himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the sovereigndom of the heavens: 5 and whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me: 6 and whoever scandalizes one of these little ones who trust in me, it is beneficial for him that a millstone turned by a burro hang around his neck, and that he submerge into the depth of the sea. 7 Woe to the cosmos because of scandals! for of necessity, scandals come; however woe to that human by whom the scandal comes! 8
AVOIDING SCANDALIZINGS
And if your hand or your foot scandalizes you, exscind them and cast them from you: it is well for you to enter life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet and cast into eternal fire. 9 And if your eye scandalizes you, pluck it and cast it from you: it is well for you to enter life one-eyed rather than having two eyes cast into the fire of Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning. 10 See that you not disesteem one of these little ones; for I word to you, That in the heavens, through all time, their angels see the face of my Father in the heavens. 11 For the Son of humanity comes to save the lost. 12
THE PARABLE OF THE WANDERING SHEEP
How think you? Whenever any human becomes a hundred sheep and one of them wanders, forsakes he not the ninety-nine, and goes to the mountains, and seeks that which wanders? 13 And so be it, whenever he finds it, Amen! I word to you, he cheers more over it than of the ninety-nine who wander not. 14 Even thus it is not the will in front of your Father in the heavens, that one of these little ones be lost. 15
A SINNING BROTHER
And whenever your brother sins to you, go and reprove him between you and him alone: whenever he hears you, you gain your brother: 16 but whenever he hears you not take one or two more with you; so that in the mouth of two or three witnesses you establish every rhema: 17 and whenever he refuses to hear them, say it to the ecclesia: and whenever he refuses to hear the ecclesia, he becomes to you exactly as the goyim and a customs agent. 18
BINDING AND RELEASING
Amen! I word to you, Whatever you bind on earth becomes bound in the heavens: whatever you release on earth becomes released in the heavens. 19
SYMPHONIZING TRUST
Again I word to you, That whenever two of you symphonize on earth concerning any matter - whatever they ask it becomes for them from my Father in the heavens: 20 for where two or three gather together in my name, I am there midst them. 21
THE PARABLE ON FORGIVENESS
Then Petros comes to him, saying, Adonay, how often sins my brother to me, and I forgive him? Until seven times? 22 Yah Shua words to him, I word not to you, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. 23 So the sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to a human sovereign, who wills to reckon word of his servants: 24 and he begins to reckon; they bring him a debtor of a myriad talent weights. 25 and having naught to give, his adoni summons to sell him and his woman and children, and all - as much as he has and to give back. 26 So the servant falls and worships him, wording, Adoni, have patience with me and I give you all. 27 And the adoni of that servant has a sympathetic spleen, and releases him, and forgives his debt. 28 But the same servant goes and finds one of his co-servants who is indebted a hundred denarion: and he overpowers him and strangles him, wording, Give me your debt. 29 And his co-servant falls to his feet, and beseeches him, wording, Have patience with me and I give you all. 30 And he wills not: but goes and casts him into a guardhouse until he gives the debt. 31 So when his co-servants see what became, they are extremely sorrowed, and come and tell their adoni all that became. 32 Then his adoni, after he calls him, words to him, O you evil servant, I forgave you all that debt because you besought me: 33 Ought you not also mercy your co-servant even as I mercied you? 34 - and his adoni is wroth and delivers him to the torturers, until he gives all he is indebted. 35 Thus likewise my Father in the heavenlies does also to you unless from your hearts you each forgive your brother his backslidings. 19 1 And so be it, Yah Shua completes/shalams these words, and departs from Galiyl and goes to the boundaries of Yah Hudah beyond Yarden; 2 and vast multitudes follow him; and he cures them there.
