Words of Y'shua

But Y'shua answered and said to him, Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he allowed him.

But he answered and said: It is written that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that goes out from the mouth of Elohim.

Y'shua said to him, It is also written that you shall not tempt Master YHWH your Elohim.

Then Y'shua said to him, Go away, Satana, for it is written that you shall worship Master YHWH your Elohim, and him only shall you serve.

From then Y'shua began to proclaim and to say, Turn back, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.

And Y'shua said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of the sons of men.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!

Blessed are the mourners, for they will be comforted!

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth!

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied!

Blessed are the merciful, for mercies will be upon them.

Blessed are those who are pure in their heart, for they will see Elohim.

Blessed are the makers of peace, for they will be called sons of Elohim.

Blessed are those who are persecuted on account of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when they revile you and persecute you and say every evil word against you falsely on my account.

Then rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt becomes tasteless, with what will it be seasoned? It is good for nothing except to be thrown outside and trampled by people.

You are the light of the world. A city built on a mountain cannot be hidden.

And they do not light a lamp and set it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

So let your light shine before people, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Do not suppose that I have come to loosen the law or the prophets: ‹I have come› not to loosen, but to fulfill.

For amen I say to you, that until heaven and earth pass away, one yodh or one stroke will not pass from the law until all is fulfilled.

Therefore whoever breaks one of these small commandments and teaches people this way will be called little in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches ‹them› will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

For I say to you that unless your righteousness abounds more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

You have heard that it was said to the ancients, Do not kill; and whoever kills is liable to judgment.

But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother without cause is liable to judgment; and whoever says to his brother, Raka, is liable to the council; and whoever says, Fool, is liable to Gehenna of fire.

If therefore you bring your offering to the altar, and there remember that your brother holds something against you,

leave your offering there before the altar, and go first be reconciled with your brother, and then come and present your offering.

Be in agreement with your adversary quickly while you are with him on the way, lest your adversary hand you over to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and you fall into the house of prisoners.

Amen I say to you, you will not come out from there until you have paid the last farthing.

You have heard that it was said, Do not commit adultery.

But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman so as to desire her has at once committed adultery with her in his heart.

And if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it from you, for it is better for you that one of your members perish than that your whole body fall into Gehenna.

And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you, for it is better for you that one of your members perish than that your whole body fall into Gehenna.

It has been said that whoever puts away his wife must give her a writing of divorcement.

But I say to you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the word of fornication, makes her commit adultery, and whoever takes a divorced woman commits adultery.

Again you have heard that it was said to the ancients, Do not be false in your oaths, but fulfill your oaths to Master YHWH.

But I say to you, Do not swear at all: not by heaven, for it is the throne of Elohim,

and not by the earth, for it is the footstool under his feet, nor by Urishlim, for it is the city of the great king.

Nor swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair in it black or white.

But let your word be yes, yes, and no, no; anything more than these is from the evil one.

You have heard that it was said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

But I say to you: Do not stand against the evil one; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

And whoever wants to sue you and take your tunic, leave him also your cloak.

Whoever forces you one mile, go with him two.

Whoever asks of you, give to him, and whoever wants to borrow from you, do not refuse him.

You have heard that it was said: Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.

But I say to you: Love your enemies, and bless whoever curses you, and do good to whoever hates you, and pray for those who lead you by force and persecute you:

so that you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who makes his sun rise on the good and on the bad, and sends down his rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do this?

And if you greet your brothers only, what more are you doing? Do not even the tax collectors do this?

Be therefore perfect, just as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.

Watch then your alms, that you do not do them before the sons of men so that you may be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.

So when you do alms, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by the sons of men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.

But you, when you do alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

so that your alms may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you openly.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand in the synagogues and at the corners of the streets to pray so that they may be seen by the sons of men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.

But you, when you pray, go into your inner room and shut your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will repay you openly.

And when you pray, do not be garrulous like the heathen; for they expect to be heard for their abundance of words.

Therefore do not be like them; for your Father knows what is needful for you before you ask him.

In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be your name.

Your kingdom come. Your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.

Give us our needful bread this day.

And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.

And do not bring us into trial, but deliver us from the evil one, because yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.

For if you forgive the children of men their faults, your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you.

But if you do not forgive the children of men, neither will your Father forgive you your faults.

And when you fast, do not be gloomy like the face-takers, for they disfigure their faces so they may be seen by the children of men as fasting. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.

But you, when you fast, wash your face and anoint your head,

so that you may not be seen by the children of men as fasting, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust spoil, and where thieves dig through and steal.

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where no moth and no rust spoil, and where thieves do not dig through and do not steal.

For where your treasure is, there your heart is also.

The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body also is luminous.

But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be dark. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great will your darkness be!

No one can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will honor the one and neglect the other. You cannot serve Elohim and mammon.

Because of this I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat and what you will drink, nor for your body, what you will wear. Is not the life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Look at the birds of heaven, that do not sow and do not reap and do not gather into storehouses, and your Father who is in heaven feeds them. Are you not more ‹important› than they?

And who of you by being anxious is able to add one cubit to his stature?

And about clothing, why are you anxious? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they do not toil and they do not spin.

But I say to you that not even Shleemon in all his glory was clothed like one of them.

And if Elohim so clothes the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow falls into the oven, will he not much more ‹clothe› you, you of little faith?

Therefore do not be anxious or say, What will we eat, or what will we drink, or what will we wear?

For all these the nations seek. But your Father who is in heaven knows that all these are needed for you too.

But seek first the kingdom of Elohim and his righteousness, and all these will be added to you.

Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for its own. Sufficient for the day is its evil.

Do not judge, so that you will not be judged.

For with the judgment that you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure that you measure, it will be measured to you.

And why do you see the straw in your brother's eye, and do not notice the beam that is in your own eye?

Or how do you say to your brother, Let me take the straw out of your eye; and look, the beam is in your eye.

You hypocrite; first take the beam out of your eye, and then it will be clear for you to take the straw out of your brother's eye.

Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, so that they will not trample them under their feet and turn and tear you.

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks receives, and who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it is opened.

Or who is the man among you whose son will ask him for bread—will he hand him a stone?

And if he asks him for a fish, will he hand him a serpent?

If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him?

Everything that you want people to do to you, so also do to them, for this is the law and the prophets.

Enter by the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who go in it.

How narrow is the gate and constricted the way that leads to life, and few are those who find it!

Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are rapacious wolves.

From their fruits you will know them. Do they gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

So every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit.

A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit.

Every tree that does not make good fruit is cut down and falls into the fire.

So then, from their fruits you will know them.

Not everyone who says to me, my Master, my Master, enters the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Many will say to me in that day, my Master, my Master, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many works of power?

And then I will declare to them, I never knew you. Depart from me, you workers of iniquity.

Everyone therefore who hears these my words and does them will be likened to a wise man who built his house on the rock.

And the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat against that house, and it did not fall, for its foundations were laid on rock.

And everyone who hears these my words and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

And the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat against that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.

And Y'shua stretched out his hand, touched him, and said: I will; be cleansed. And in that hour his leprosy was cleansed.

And Y'shua said to him: See that you tell no one, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the offering as Moshe commanded, for their testimony.

Y'shua said to him, I will come and heal him.

And when Y'shua heard ‹this›, he marveled and said to those who came with him, Truly I say to you, that not even in Yisrael have I found faith like this.

And I say to you that many will come from the east and from the west and will recline with Avraham and Yitz'chak and Ya'akov in the kingdom of heaven;

but the children of the kingdom will go out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

And Y'shua said to the centurion, Go; as you have believed, it will be for you. And his child was healed in that hour.

Y'shua said to him, Foxes have dens, and the birds of heaven have shelters, but the Son of man has nowhere he may lay his head.

But Y'shua said to him, Come after me, and leave the dead to bury their dead.

Y'shua said to them, Why are you afraid, you of little faith? Then he rose and rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.

Y'shua said to them, Go. And at once they went out and entered into the swine, and that whole herd rushed straight up to the precipice and fell into the sea and died in the waters.

And they brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed. And Y'shua saw their faith and said to the paralytic, Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven you.

But Y'shua knew their thoughts and said to them, Why are you thinking evil ‹things› in your heart?

For which is easier, to say, Your sins are forgiven you, or to say, Get up and walk?

But so that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralytic, Get up, take up your bed, and go to your house.

And as Y'shua passed on from there, he saw a man sitting at the tax house, whose name was Matthew. And he said to him, Come after me: and he got up and went after him.

But Y'shua, when he heard, said to them: The healthy have no need of a physician, but those who are badly off.

Go and learn what this is: I seek compassion, and not sacrifice. For I did not come to call the righteous, but the sinful.

Y'shua said to them: Can the sons of the bridal chamber fast as long as the bridegroom is with them? But days are coming when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and then they will fast.

No one puts a new patch on an old garment, lest its fullness tear away from that garment, and the tear become worse.

And they do not put new wine into old wineskins, lest the wineskins burst, and the wine is poured out, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.

But Y'shua turned, saw her, and said to her, Take heart, my daughter; your faith has given you life. And that woman was healed from that hour.

And he said to them, Go away; for the girl has not died, but is sleeping. And they were laughing at him.

And when he came to the house, those blind men drew near to him. Y'shua said to them, Do you believe that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, our Master.

Then he touched their eyes and said, As you have believed, it will be to you.

And at once their eyes were opened. And Y'shua charged them and said, See that no one knows ‹of it›.

And he said to his disciples, The harvest is great, and the laborers are few.

Ask, therefore, of the master of the harvest, that he send laborers into his harvest.

These twelve Y'shua sent out, and he commanded them and said: Do not go on the road of the Gentiles, and do not enter the cities of the Samaritans.

But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Yisrael.

And as you go, proclaim and say that the kingdom of heaven has approached.

Heal the sick, cleanse the leprous, ‹raise the dead,› and cast out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

Do not provide gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses;

nor a wallet for the journey, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff. For the laborer is worthy of his food.

And into whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there until you depart.

And when you enter a house, ask for the peace of the house.

And if the house is worthy, your peace will come upon it; but if it is not worthy, your peace will return upon you.

And whoever will not receive you and will not hear your words, when you go out from the house or from that town, shake off the dust from your feet.

And truly I say to you that it will be more comfortable for the land of Sodom and of Amora in the day of judgment than for that city.

See, I am sending you as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and pure as doves.

But beware of people, for they will hand you over to the house of judgment, and in their assemblies they will scourge you.

And they will bring you before governors and kings because of me, for a testimony to them and to the peoples.

But when they hand you over, do not be anxious how or what you will speak, for it is given to you in that hour what you will speak.

For it is not you who speak, but the spirit of your Father that speaks in you.

And a brother will hand over his brother to death, and a father his son, and children will rise up against their parents and put them to death.

And you will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the one who endures to the end, he will have life.

But when they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For amen I say to you, you will not finish all the cities of the house of Yisrael until the Son of man comes.

There is no disciple greater than his rabbi, and no servant greater than his master.

It is enough for the disciple that he be like his rabbi, and for the servant like his master. If they call the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more the children of his house?

So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and nothing hidden that will not be known.

What I say to you in the dark, speak in the light, and what you hear in your ears, proclaim on the housetops.

And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Fear rather the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion? Yet not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father.

But as for you, even the hairs of your head are all numbered.

So do not be afraid: you are better than many sparrows.

So everyone who confesses me before the sons of men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.

But whoever denies me before the sons of men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.

Do not think that I have come to cast peace on the earth: I have not come to cast peace, but a sword.

For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

And a man's enemies are the members of his household.

Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

And everyone who does not take up his cross and come after me is not worthy of me.

Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.

Whoever receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.

And everyone who gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold ‹water› to drink in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.

Y'shua answered and said to them: Go, tell Yochanan the things that you hear and see:

the blind see, and the lame walk, and the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead rise, and the poor are given good news:

and blessed is the one who is not stumbled in me.

And when they went, Y'shua began to say to the crowds about Yochanan: What did you go out to the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

And if not, what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Look, those who wear soft ‹robes› are in the houses of kings.

And if not, what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

For this is he of whom it is written: Look, I send my messenger before your face, that he may prepare the way before you.

Amen I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen a greater than Yochanan the Immerser; yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

And from the days of Yochanan the Immerser until now, the kingdom of heaven is driven by force, and the forceful seize it.

For all the prophets and the Torah prophesied until Yochanan.

And if you are willing, receive that this is Eliyahu who was about to come.

Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.

But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children who sit in the marketplace and call to their companions,

and say, We sang to you, and you did not dance; we wailed to you, and you did not lament.

For Yochanan came, not eating and not drinking, and they say, A demon is in him.

The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Look, a gluttonous man and a wine drinker, and a friend of tax collectors and sinners. And wisdom is justified by her works.

Then Y'shua began to reproach the cities in which his many mighty works were done, and they did not repent.

And he was saying, Woe to you, Korazin! Woe to you, Beth-Tsayda! For if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Tsur and Tsidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes.

But I say to you, that for Tsur and Tsidon it will be more comfortable in the day of judgment than for you.

And you, Kfar-Nachum, who were lifted up to heaven, will be brought down to Sheol. For if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have stood to this day.

But I say to you, that for the land of Sodom it will be more comfortable in the day of judgment than for you.

At that time Y'shua answered and said: I thank you, my Father, Master of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and the knowing, and revealed them to little children.

Yes, my Father, for so was the will before you.

Everything has been handed over to me by my Father. And no one knows the Son except the Father. Also no one knows the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal ‹him›.

Come to me, all you who are weary and carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, that I am gentle and humble in my heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

for my yoke is pleasant and my burden is light.

But he said to them, Have you not read what Dawid did when he was hungry, and those who were with him?

How he entered the house of Elohim and ate the bread of the table of Master YHWH, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?

Or have you not read in the Torah that the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are without fault?

But I say to you that one greater than the temple is here.

And if you had known what that is, I desire mercy and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned those who are without fault.

For the Son of man is master of the Sabbath.

But he said to them, Who among you is a man who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the day of the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and raise it up?

How much then is a human being better than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful on the Sabbath to do what is good.

Then he said to that man, Stretch out your hand. And he stretched out his hand, and it was restored like its fellow.

But Y'shua knew their thoughts, and said to them: Every kingdom that is divided against itself will be ruined, and every house and city that is divided against itself will not stand.

And if Satana casts out Satana, he is divided against himself; how then does his kingdom stand?

And if I by Baalzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? Because of this they will be judges for you.

And if by the Ruach of Elohim I cast out demons, the kingdom of Elohim has come near upon you.

Or how can a man enter the house of a strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.

Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.

Because of this I say to you that all sins and blasphemies will be forgiven to the sons of men, but the blasphemy that is against the Ruach will not be forgiven to the sons of men.

And everyone who will say a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but everyone who will say against the Ruach haKodesh, it will not be forgiven him, not in this world and not in the world that is coming.

Offspring of vipers, how are you able to speak good things, you who are evil? For from the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

A good man from a good treasure brings out good things, and a bad man from a bad treasure brings out bad things.

For I say to you that every idle word that the sons of men will say, they will give its answer in the day of judgment.

For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.

But he answered and said to them, A wicked and adulterous generation seeks a sign, and a sign will not be given to it except the sign of Yonan the prophet.

For as Yonan was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights, so will the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

The men of Nineveh will rise in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Yonan, and a greater than Yonan is here.

The queen of the south will rise in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Shleemun, and a greater than Shleemun is here.

And when an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it wanders in places where there is no water, and seeks rest and does not find ‹it›.

Then it says: I will return to my house from which I came out. And it comes and finds it empty and swept and set in order.

Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits worse than itself, and they enter and dwell in it; and the end of that man is worse than his beginning. So it will be for this evil generation.

But he answered and said to the one who told him: Who is my mother? and who are my brothers?

And he stretched out his hand toward his disciples and said: Here is my mother, and here are my brothers!

For everyone who does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother and my sister and my mother.

And he spoke much with them in parables, and said, A sower went out to sow.

And as he sowed, some ‹seed› fell on the side of the path, and the birds came and ate it.

And other ‹seed› fell on rock where there was not much soil, and at once it sprang up because there was no depth of earth.

But when the sun rose it was scorched, and because it had no root it dried up.

And other ‹seed› fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it.

And other ‹seed› fell on good earth and gave fruit, some a hundred, and some sixty, and some thirty.

Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.

But he answered and said to them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

For to whoever has, it will be given to him and it will increase for him.

And from him who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away. Because of this I speak with them in parables, because they see and do not see, and they hear and do not hear, and they do not understand.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Eshaya who said, Hearing you will hear and not understand, and seeing you will see and not know.

For the heart of this people has grown fat, and with their ears they have heard heavily, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I should heal them.

But happy are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.

For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous ‹men› longed to see what you see and did not see ‹it›, and to hear what you hear and did not hear ‹it›.

But you hear the parable of the seed.

Everyone who hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away the word sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the side of the path.

But that which was sown on the rock is he who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.

Yet he has no root in him, but is only for a time, and when trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he soon stumbles.

But that which was sown among thorns is he who hears the word, and the care of this world and the deceit of riches choke the word, and it becomes without fruit.

But that which was sown on good ground is he who hears my word and understands, and gives fruit and yields, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.

He set another parable before them and said: The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

And while people were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away.

And when the grass sprouted and made fruit, then the tares also appeared.

And the servants of the master of the house came near and said to him, Our master, did you not sow good seed in your field? From where are the tares in it?

And he said to them, An enemy man has done this. His servants say to him, Do you want us to go gather them?

And he said to them, ‹No,› lest while you gather the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.

Leave them; let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather the tares first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my storehouse.

He set another parable before them and said: The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.

And it is the smallest of all seeds; but when it has grown, it is greater than all the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the bird of heaven comes and nests in its branches.

He spoke another parable to them: The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and buried in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.

All these things Y'shua spoke in parables to the crowd, and without a parable he did not speak with them.

so that what was spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled, who said: I will open my mouth in parables, and I will utter things hidden from before the foundation of the world.

Then Y'shua left the crowd and came into the house. And his disciples came to him and said to him: Explain to us the parable of the tares and of the field.

But he answered and said to them: He who sows the good seed is the Son of man.

And the field is the world. And the good seed are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the evil one.

And the enemy who sowed them is Satana. And the harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are the messengers.

Just as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this world.

The Son of man will send his messengers, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the stumbling blocks and all the doers of iniquity,

and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid, and from his joy he went and sold all that he has and bought that field.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant who was seeking good pearls:

and when he found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and gathered ‹fishes› of every kind.

And when it was full, they drew it up to the shore of the sea, and sat down and sorted: and the good they put into vessels, and the bad they threw outside.

So it will be at the completion of the world. The messengers will go out and separate the evil from among the righteous.

And they will throw them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Y'shua said to them, Have you understood all these things? They say to him, Yes, our Master.

He said to them, Because of this, every scribe who is discipled for the kingdom of heaven is like a man, master of a house, who brings out from his treasure things new and old.

But he said to them: They do not need to go; you give them ‹something› to eat.

Y'shua said to them: Bring them here to me.

But Y'shua at once spoke with them and said, Take heart; it is I; do not be afraid.

And Y'shua said to him, Come. And Keefa went down from the boat and walked on the water to come to Y'shua.

And immediately our Master stretched out his hand and took hold of him, and said to him, Little of faith, why did you doubt?

Y'shua answered and said to them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of Elohim on account of your tradition?

For Elohim said: Honor your father and your mother; and whoever reviles his father or his mother will surely die.

But you say: Anyone who says to a father or to a mother, My offering is whatever you would gain from me, then he need not honor his father or his mother.

And ‹thus› you make void the word of Elohim for the sake of your tradition.

You hypocrites, well did Eshaya prophesy about you, and say:

This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

And in vain they revere me, while they teach teachings that are the commandments of the sons of men.

And he called the crowd and said to them, Hear and understand.

It is not what enters the mouth that defiles a man, but what comes out from the mouth—that defiles a man.

But he answered and said to them: Every plant that my Father who is in heaven has not planted will be uprooted.

Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. And if a blind person leads a blind person, both of them will fall into a pit.

But he said to them: Are you also still without understanding even until now?

Do you not know that whatever enters the mouth goes into the belly, and from there is cast out in the latrine?

But what comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and that is what defiles a person.

For from the heart come out evil thoughts, adultery, murder, whoredom, theft, false testimony, reviling.

These are what defile a person. But if a person eats while his hands are not washed, he is not defiled.

But he answered and said to them, I was not sent except to the sheep that have strayed from the house of Yisrael.

He said to her, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

Then Y'shua said to her, “O woman, great is your faith; let it be for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.

Then Y'shua called his disciples and said to them: I have compassion on this crowd, for look, three days they have stayed with me and they have nothing to eat; and I am not willing to send them away fasting, lest they faint on the way.

Y'shua said to them: How many loaves do you have? They say to him: Seven, and a few small fish.

But he answered and said to them: When it is evening you say, It is fair weather; for the heavens are red.

And in the morning you say, Today there is a storm; for the heavens are red and gloomy. You know how to discern the face of the heavens, but the signs of this time you do not know how to discern.

A wicked and adulterous generation seeks a sign; and no sign is given to it except the sign of Yonah the prophet. And he left them and went.

And he said to them: Look, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

But Y'shua knew ‹it› and said to them, Why are you reasoning among yourselves, you of little faith, because you have taken no bread?

Do you not yet understand? Do you not remember those five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?

Nor those seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?

How is it that you do not understand that it was not about bread that I spoke to you, but that you should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

And when Y'shua came to the place of Qasarya of Philippos, he was asking his disciples and said, Who do people say about me, that I am the Son of man?

He said to them, But who do you yourselves say that I am?

Y'shua answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Shimon son of Yonah, for flesh and blood have not revealed ‹it› to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

Also I say to you that you are Keefa, and on this keefa I will build my assembly, and the gates of Sheol will not prevail against it.

I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

But he turned and said to Keefa, Go behind me, Satana. You are a stumbling block to me, for you do not think the things of Elohim but of the sons of men.

Then Y'shua said to his disciples, Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and come after me.

For whoever wants to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

For what does a man profit if he gains the whole world and loses his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his holy messengers, and then he will repay each one according to his deeds.

Truly I say to you, there are people standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

And Y'shua came near to them and touched them and said, Get up, do not be afraid.

And as they were going down from the mountain, Y'shua commanded them and said to them, Do not tell this vision to anyone until the Son of man rises from the dead.

Y'shua answered and said, Eliyahu comes first so that he may fulfill everything.

But I say to you that Eliyahu has come, and they did not know him, and they did to him whatever they wanted. In the same way also the Son of man is about to suffer from them.

Y'shua answered and said, O unbelieving and twisted generation! How long will I be with you, and how long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me.

Y'shua said to them, Because of your unbelief. For truly I say to you, that if there is in you faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Move from here, and it will move, and nothing will be too hard for you.

But this kind does not go out except by fasting and by prayer.

And while they were going about in Galila, Y'shua said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men,

He said to them, Yes. And when Keefa entered the house, Y'shua went before him and said to him, How does it appear to you, Shimon? The kings of the earth, from whom do they take tribute and head-money? from their children, or from foreigners?

Shimon said to him, From foreigners. Y'shua said to him, Then the children are free.

But so that we do not cause them to stumble, go to the sea and cast a hook, and the first fish that comes up, open its mouth and you will find a stater; take that and give for me and for you.

and said, Amen, I say to you, that unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Whoever then humbles himself like this child, he will be great in the kingdom of heaven.

And whoever receives one like this child in my name receives me.

And everyone who causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a millstone of a donkey be hung on his neck and he be sunk in the depths of the sea.

Woe to the world from the stumbling blocks! For it is necessary that stumbling blocks come. But woe to the man by whose hand the stumbling blocks come.

But if your hand or your foot makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter into life while you are lame or while maimed, and not, while you have two hands or two feet, fall into the fire of forever.

And if it is that your eye makes you stumble, dig it out and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, and not, while you have two eyes, fall into the gehenna of fire.

See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I say to you that their messengers in heaven at all times see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

For the Son of man has come to give life to that which was lost.

How does it appear to you? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountain and go seek the one that went astray?

And if he finds it, I tell you truly that he rejoices in it more than in the ninety-nine that did not stray.

So it is not the will before your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

But if your brother sins against you, go reprove him between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.

And if he does not hear you, take with you one or two, so that on the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand.

And if he will not hear them either, tell ‹it› to the church. And if he will not hear the church either, let him be to you as a tax collector and as a pagan.

I tell you truly that whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Again I say to you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning every matter that they will ask, it will be theirs from my Father who is in heaven.

For where two or three ‹are› assembled in my name, there ‹am› I in the midst of them.

Y'shua said to him, I do not say to you up to seven, but up to seventy times seven.

Because of this the kingdom of heaven has been likened to a man, a king, who wanted to take account from his servants.

And when he began to take, they brought to him one who owed ten thousand talents.

And when he had nothing with which to pay, his master ordered that he be sold, him and his wife and his children and everything he had, and payment be made.

And that servant fell down and bowed to him and said, My master, give me time, and I will pay you everything.

And the master of that servant had compassion and released him and forgave him his debt.

Then that servant went out and found one of his fellow-servants who owed him a hundred denarii. And he seized him and was choking him and said to him, Give me what you owe me.

And that fellow-servant fell at his feet and begged him and said to him, Give me time, and I will pay you.

But he was not willing, but went and threw him into prison until he would give him what he owed him.

And when their fellow-servants saw what had happened, it grieved them greatly; and they came and made known to their master all that had happened.

Then his master called him and said to him: Evil servant! I forgave you that whole debt because you begged me.

Was it not right for you also to have compassion on your fellow-servant, as I had compassion on you?

And his master was angry and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all he owed him.

So will my Father who is in heaven do to you, unless you forgive each his brother his offence from your heart.

But he answered and said to them, Have you not read that he who made ‹them› from the beginning made them male and female?

And he said, For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and cling to his wife, and the two of them will be one flesh.

So they are not two, but one body. What Elohim has joined, then, let not a son of man separate.

He said to them, Moshe, because of the hardness of your heart, permitted you to dismiss your wives; but from the beginning it was not so.

But I say to you that whoever leaves his wife, not for adultery, and takes another commits adultery, and whoever takes a dismissed woman commits adultery.

But he said to them, Not everyone is able for this word, but only the one to whom it is given.

For there are eunuchs who were born so from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs because of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever is able to be content, let him be content.

But Y'shua said to them: Let the children come to me, and do not forbid them; for of those who are like these is the kingdom of heaven.

But he said to him: Why do you call me good? There is none good except one, ‹namely,› Elohim. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.

He said to him, Which ones? And Y'shua said to him: You shall not kill; and you shall not commit adultery; and you shall not steal; and you shall not bear false testimony;

and honor your father and your mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.

Y'shua says to him, If you desire to be perfect, go, sell your property and give to the poor, and there will be for you a treasure in heaven, and come after me.

But Y'shua said to his disciples, Amen I say to you, that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

And again I say to you, that it is easier for a camel to enter the aperture of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Elohim.

Y'shua looked at them and said to them: With the sons of men this is not possible, but with Elohim everything is possible.

Y'shua said to them: Amen I say to you, that you who have come after me, in the new world when the Son of man sits on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones and will judge the twelve tribes of Yisrael.

And everyone who leaves houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my name will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.

But many first will be last, and last ‹who shall be› first.

For the kingdom of heaven is like a man, a master of a house, who went out in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

And he agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, and sent them into his vineyard.

And he went out at the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.

And he said to them, Go also you into the vineyard, and what is right I will give you.

And they went. And he went out again at the sixth and at the ninth hours and did the same.

And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing and idle, and he said to them, Why are you standing all the day idle?

They say to him, No one has hired us. He says to them, Go you also into the vineyard, and you will receive what is right.

And when evening came, the master of the vineyard said to his steward, Call the laborers and give them their wages, and begin from the last and go on to the first.

And those of the eleventh hour came and received a denarius each.

And when the first came, they supposed they would receive more, and they also received a denarius each.

And when they received ‹it›, they murmured against the master of the house,

and say, These last have worked one hour, and you have made them equal with us who have borne the burden of the day and its heat.

But he answered and said to one of them: My friend, I am not wronging you. Did you not contract with me for a denarius?

Take what is yours and go. But I want to give to this last one as to you.

Or is it not lawful for me to do what I want with what is mine? Or is your eye evil because I am good?

So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, and few are chosen.

Look, we are going up to Urishlim, and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death.

And they will hand him over to the peoples, and they will mock him, and they will scourge him, and they will crucify him, and on the third day he will rise.

Y'shua answered and said, You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, or be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with? They say to him, We are able.

He said to them, My cup you will drink, and the immersion that I am immersed with you will be immersed: but to sit on my right and on my left is not mine to give, except to those for whom it is prepared by my Father.

And Y'shua called them and said to them, You know that the heads of the nations are their masters, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

It will not be so among you. But whoever among you wants to be great will be a minister to you.

And whoever among you wants to be first will be a servant to you.

Just as the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.

And Y'shua stood still and called them and said, What do you want me to do for you?

and said to them, Go to this village that is opposite you, and at once you will find a donkey tied and a colt with her. Untie and bring ‹them› to me.

And if anyone says anything to you, say to him that they are needed by our Master, and at once he will send them here.

And he said to them, It is written, My house will be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers.

And they said to him, Do you hear what these are saying? Y'shua said to them, Yes. Have you never read, From the mouth of children and infants

And he saw one fig tree by the road, and he came to it and found nothing on it except leaves only. And he said to it: Fruit will not be on you again forever. And at once that fig tree withered.

Y'shua answered and said to them: Amen I say to you, that if faith is in you and you do not doubt, you will not only do this of the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be lifted up and fall into the sea, it will be.

Y'shua answered and said to them: I also will ask you one word, and if you tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.

They answered and said to him: We do not know. Y'shua said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

But what do you think? A certain man had two sons, and he came to the first and said to him, My son, go today, work in the vineyard.

But he answered and said, I am not willing. But afterward he regretted and went.

And he came to the other and said the same to him. And he answered and said, I ‹go›, my master, and did not go.

Which of these two did the will of his father? They say to him, The first. Y'shua says to them, Amen, I say to you that tax collectors and prostitutes go before you into the kingdom of Elohim.

For Yochanan came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but the tax collectors and prostitutes believed him. And you, even when you saw ‹it›, did not afterward repent so that you would believe in him.

Hear another parable. There was a certain man, a master of a house, and he planted a vineyard and put a hedge around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower in it and leased it to cultivators and went away.

And when the time of the fruits arrived, he sent his servants to the cultivators so that they would send him some of the fruits of his vineyard.

And the cultivators seized his servants, and some they beat, and some they stoned, and some they killed.

And again he sent other servants, more numerous than the first, and they did the same to them.

And at last he sent his son to them, saying, Perhaps they will respect my son.

But the laborers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him and take his inheritance.

And they seized him, cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

When the master of the vineyard comes, then, what will he do to those laborers?

They say to him, He will destroy them badly, and will lease the vineyard to other laborers who will give him the fruits in their seasons.

Y'shua said to them, Have you never read in the scripture, The stone that the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; this was from Master YHWH, and it is marvelous in our eyes?

Because of this I say to you that the kingdom of Elohim will be taken from you and will be given to a people that does fruit.

And whoever falls on this stone will be shattered, and everyone on whom it falls, it will crush him.

The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man, a king, who made a wedding feast for his son.

And he sent his servants to call those who were invited to the feast, and they did not want to come.

Again he sent other servants and said, Say to those invited, My banquet is prepared, and my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and everything is prepared; come to the feast.

But they despised it and went away, one to his field and one to his merchandise.

And the rest seized his servants and abused them and killed them.

When the king heard ‹of it›, he was angry, and he sent his armies and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.

Then he said to his servants, The feast is prepared, and those who were invited were not worthy.

Go therefore to the outlets of the roads, and everyone you find, call to the feast.

And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all they found, bad and good, and the house of the feast was filled with guests.

And the king went in to see the guests, and he saw there a man who was not clothed in the garment of the feast.

And he said to him, My friend, how did you come in here when you do not have the garment of the feast? But he was silent.

Then the king said to the servants, Bind his hands and his feet, and cast him into the outer darkness: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

For the called are many, and the chosen are few.

But Y'shua knew their wickedness, and said, Why are you testing me, you face-takers?

Show me a denarius of the head-tax silver. And they brought him a denarius.

And Y'shua said to them: Whose is this image and inscription?

They say, Caesar's. He says to them: Give then what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is Elohim's to Elohim.

Y'shua answered and said to them: You err, because you do not know the writings, nor the power of Elohim.

For in the resurrection of the dead they do not take women, nor do women become to husbands, but they are like the messengers of Elohim in heaven.

But about the rising of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by Elohim, who said:

I am the Elohim of Avraham, the Elohim of Yitz'chak, the Elohim of Ya'akov? And Elohim is not of the dead, but of the living.

Y'shua said to him: You will love Master YHWH your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might and with all your mind.

This is the great and first commandment.

And the second, which is like it, is: You will love your neighbor as yourself.

On these two commandments hang the Torah and the prophets.

and said: What do you say about the Mashiyach? Whose son is he? They say to him: The son of Dawid.

Master YHWH said to my Master, Sit at my right hand, until I place your enemies under your feet.

If Dawid then calls him Master YHWH, how is he his son?

and said to them: The scribes and Pharisees sit on the seat of Moshe.

Everything therefore that they tell you to keep, keep and do. But according to their deeds do not do: for they say, and do not do.

They bind heavy burdens and lay ‹them› on the shoulders of the sons of men; but they themselves do not want to touch them with their finger.

And all their works they do to be seen by the sons of men: for they make their phylacteries broad, and lengthen the fringes of their garments.

And they love the highest places at banquets and the highest seats in the synagogues,

and the greeting in the marketplaces, and to be called by people Rabbi.

But you are not to be called Rabbi, for one is your Rabbi, and you are all brothers.

And do not call anyone among you Father on earth, for one is your Father who is in heaven.

And do not be called guides, because one is your Guide, the Mashiyach.

But the one who is great among you will be your servant.

For whoever raises himself up will be brought low, and whoever lowers himself will be raised up.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you devour the houses of widows under the pretext of lengthening your prayers. Because of this you will receive greater judgment.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you shut the kingdom of heaven before the sons of men; for you yourselves do not enter, and those who are entering you do not allow to enter.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you go around sea and dry land to make one convert, and when he becomes one you make him a son of Gehenna twice as much as yourselves.

Woe to you, blind guides, who say that whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing, but whoever swears by the gold that is in the temple is bound.

Fools and blind ones, for which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold holy?

And whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing, but whoever swears by the offering upon it is bound.

Fools and blind ones: which is greater, the offering or the altar that sanctifies the offering?

So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything that is on it.

And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it.

And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of Elohim and by him who sits above it.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for you tithe mint and anise and cummin, and you have left the weightier ‹matters› of the law, judgment and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to do, and those not to leave.

Blind guides, who strain out gnats and swallow camels.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for you cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of rapine and iniquity.

Blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that their outside may also be clean.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for you are like whitewashed tombs, which from the outside appear beautiful, but inside are full of the bones of the dead and all uncleanness.

So you also from the outside appear to the children of men as righteous, but inside you are full of iniquity and hypocrisy.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for you build the tombs of the prophets and you adorn the burial places of the righteous;

and you say: If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in the blood of the prophets.

Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are the children of those who killed the prophets.

And you also, fill up the measure of your fathers.

Serpents, offspring of vipers, how will you flee from the judgment of Gehenna?

Because of this, I am sending to you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you kill and crucify, and some of them you scourge in your synagogues, and you will persecute them from city to city,

so that all the blood of the righteous that has been shed on the earth may come upon you, from the blood of righteous Habeel to the blood of Zakharya son of Barakhya, whom you killed between the temple and the altar.

Amen, I say to you that all these things will come upon this generation.

Urishlim, Urishlim, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her: how often I wanted to gather your children, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not.

Look, your house is left to you desolate.

For I say to you that you will not see me from now until you say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of Master YHWH.

But he said to them: Do you not see all these? I say to you truly, that there will not be left here a stone upon a stone that will not be torn down.

Y'shua answered and said to them: Take care that no one deceives you.

For many will come in my name and will say, I am the Mashiyach, and they will deceive many.

But you are going to hear of conflicts and the report of wars. See that you are not disturbed, for all these things must happen, but the end is not yet.

For a people will rise against a people, and a kingdom against a kingdom, and there will be famines and plagues and earthquakes in place after place.

But all these are the beginning of birth-pains.

Then they will hand you over to distress and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the peoples because of my name.

Then many will stumble, and they will hate one another and will hand one another over.

And many false prophets will rise, and they will lead many astray.

And because of the abundance of lawlessness, the love of many will grow cold.

But he who perseveres to the end, he will have life.

And this announcement of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world for a testimony to all the peoples, and then the end will come.

But when you see the unclean sign of desolation that was spoken by Daniyel the prophet standing in the holy place, let the one who reads understand.

Then those who are in Yehuda, let them flee to the mountain.

And he who is on the roof, let him not come down to take what is in his house.

And he who is in the field, let him not turn back to take his garment.

But woe to the pregnant and to those who nurse in those days.

But pray that your flight will not be in winter, and not on the Sabbath.

For there will then be great distress, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, and will not be.

And if those days were not cut short, no flesh would live. But for the sake of the chosen, those days will be cut short.

Then if anyone says to you, Look, here is the Mashiyach, or here, do not believe.

For false Mashiyachs will arise, and prophets of falsehood, and they will give great signs, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen.

Look, I have told you beforehand.

If therefore they say to you, Look, he is in the wilderness, do not go out; or, Look, he is in a secret chamber, do not believe.

For as the lightning comes out from the east and is seen as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of man.

Wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered.

But immediately after the distress of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not show its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken.

And then the sign of the Son of man will be seen in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And he will send his messengers with a great trumpet, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the heavens to their ends.

Now learn the parable from the fig tree. As soon as its branches become tender and its leaves shoot forth, you know that summer has come.

So also you, when you see all these things, know that it has come ‹even› to the door.

Truly I say to you, that this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

But of that day and of that hour no one knows, not even the messengers of heaven, but the Father only.

But as the days of Noach, so will the coming of the Son of man be.

For as they were before the flood, eating and drinking, and taking women and giving to men, until the day that Noach entered the ark,

and they did not know until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of man be.

Then two ‹men› will be in the field; one will be taken, and one will be left.

And two ‹women› will be grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left.

Stay awake, therefore, for you do not know at what hour your Master is coming.

But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

Because of this, you also be ready, for in the hour that you do not expect, the Son of man will come.

Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over the members of his household, to give them their food in its time?

Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find doing so.

Truly I say to you, he will set him over all that he has.

But if that evil servant says in his heart, My master delays to come;

and he will begin to beat his fellow-servants, and will eat and drink with drunkards;

the master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect, and in an hour he does not know,

and will cut him in two, and will put his portion with the hypocrites; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.

And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

And the foolish ones took their lamps, but did not take oil with them.

But the wise ones took oil in vessels with their lamps.

And while the bridegroom delayed, they all grew sleepy and fell asleep.

And in the middle of the night there was a cry: The bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him.

Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.

And the foolish ones said to the wise ones, Give us some of your oil, for our lamps have gone out.

The wise ones answered and said, ‹We must refuse,› or else there will not be enough for us and for you. But go to those who sell and buy for yourselves.

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding house, and the door was shut.

And afterward the other virgins also came and said, Our Master, our Master, open for us.

But he answered and said to them, Truly I say to you, I do not know you.

Stay awake, therefore, for you do not know that day or the hour.

For it is like a man who journeyed, called his servants and handed over to them his property;

to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, each according to his ability, and he journeyed at once.

Then he who took the five talents went and traded with them and gained five others.

And likewise also he of the two traded and gained two others.

But he who took the one went, dug in the earth, and hid his master's silver.

But after a long time, the master of those servants came and took account from them.

And he who had received five talents came near and brought five others, and said, My master, you gave me five talents; look, I have gained by trading five others on them.

His master said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.

And he who had two talents came near and said, My master, you gave me two talents; look, I have gained by trading two others on them.

His master said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.

Then he also who had received one talent came near and said, My master, I knew you, that you are a hard man, and you reap where you did not sow, and gather from where you did not scatter.

And I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the earth. Here, you have what is yours.

His master answered and said to him, Wicked and lazy servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather from where I have not scattered.

And was it not for you to cast my money on the table, and I would have come and demanded what is mine with its interest.

Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.

For to him who has, it will be given, and it will be added to him; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

And cast the idle servant into the outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

And when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all his holy messengers with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.

And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd who separates the sheep from the goats.

And he will set the sheep on his right, and the goats on his left.

Then the king will say to those on his right: Come, you blessed of my Father; inherit the kingdom that was prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

For I was hungry, and you gave me food; and I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in;

I was naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; and I was in prison, and you came to me.

Then those righteous will say to him: Our Master, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?

And when did we see you a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you?

And when did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?

And the king will answer and say to them: Amen I say to you, that as much as you did to one of these my little brothers, you did to me.

Then he will say also to those on his left: Go from me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire that is prepared for the Accuser and his messengers.

For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, and I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink.

and I was a stranger, and you did not gather me in, and I was naked, and you did not cover me, and I was sick and in prison, and you did not visit me.

Then they also will answer and say, Our Master, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not serve you?

Then he will answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, that as much as you did not do to one of these little ones, you did not do to me.

And these will go into everlasting torment, and the righteous into everlasting life.

You know that after two days the Passover happens, and the Son of man is handed over to be crucified.

But Y'shua knew and said to them: Why are you troubling the woman? She has done a good deed toward me.

For you have the poor with you at all times; but you do not have me at all times.

But this ‹act of› pouring this ointment on my body she has done as for my burial.

Amen, I say to you that wherever this good news of mine is proclaimed in all the world, what she has done will also be told for a memorial of her.

And he said to them, Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, Our Master says, My time has come; I will keep the Passover with you with my disciples.

And while they were eating, he said, Amen I say to you, that one of you will betray me.

And he answered and said, The one who dips his hand with me in the dish, he will betray me.

And the Son of man goes as it is written of him. But woe to that man by whose hand the Son of man is betrayed. It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.

Yehuda the betrayer answered and said, Rabbi, is it I? Y'shua said to him, You have said.

And as they were eating, Y'shua took bread and blessed and broke it and gave to his disciples and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

And he took the cup and gave thanks and gave ‹it› to them and said, Take, drink from it, all of you.

This is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins.

But I say to you that from now on I will not drink from this fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.

Then Y'shua said to them, You will all stumble because of me this night; for it is written, I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of his flock will be scattered.

But after I rise, I go before you to Galila.

Y'shua said to him: Amen I say to you, that in this night before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.

Then Y'shua came with them to a place called Gadsman, and he said to his disciples: Sit here while I go pray.

And he said to them, My soul is in anguish, even to death. Stay here for me, and keep watch with me.

And he went a little farther and fell on his face and was praying and said, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Yet not as I will, but as you.

And he came to his disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Keefa, So, could you not keep watch with me one hour?

Wake up and pray, so that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit is ready, but the body is weak.

Again he went a second time and prayed and said, My Father, if this cup cannot pass except I drink it, your will be done.

Then he came to his disciples and said to them, Sleep on now, and rest. Look, the hour has come, and the Son of man is handed over into the hands of sinners.

Rise, let us go. Look, he who hands me over has come.

But Y'shua said to him: My friend, is it for this you have come? Then they came near and laid their hands on Y'shua and seized him.

Then Y'shua said to him: Put the sword back in its place, for all who take up a sword will die by a sword.

Or do you think that I cannot ask my Father, and he would raise up for me now more than twelve legions of messengers?

How then would the writings be fulfilled, that it must be this way?

At that hour Y'shua said to the crowd: Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? Every day I sat with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me.

But this happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him and fled.

Y'shua said to him: You have said. But I say to you that from now you will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

And about the ninth hour Y'shua cried out with a loud voice and said, Eli, Eli, why have you left me?

And look, Y'shua met them and said to them, Peace to you. And they came near, took hold of his feet, and worshipped him.

Then Y'shua said to them, Do not fear, but go, tell my brothers that they should go to Galila, and there they will see me.

And Y'shua drew near, spoke with them, and said to them, All authority is given to me in heaven and on earth. And as my Father sent me, I send you.

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, and immerse them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Ruach haKodesh.

And teach them to keep all that I have commanded you. And I am with you all the days until the completion of the world. Amen.
