Everybody was utterly amazed. 41.5.43 He gave them strict orders to say nothing about this to anyone, and told them to give her something to eat. 41.6.1 Then Yeshua left and went to his home town, and his talmidim followed him. -41.6.2 On Shabbat he started to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astounded.

Don't let anyone fool you!" +41.13.6 Many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he!' and they will fool many people. +41.13.7 When you hear the noise of wars nearby and the news of wars far off, don't become frightened. Such things must happen, but the end is yet to come. +41.13.8 For peoples will fight each other, and nations will fight each other, there will be earthquakes in various places, there will be famines; this is but the beginning of the 'birth pains.' +41.13.9 """But you, watch yourselves! They will hand you over to the local Sanhedrins, you will be beaten up in synagogues, and on my account you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them." +41.13.10 Indeed, the Good News has to be proclaimed first to all the Goyim. +41.13.11 Now when they arrest you and bring you to trial, don't worry beforehand about what to say. Rather, say whatever is given you when the time comes; for it will not be just you speaking, but the Ruach HaKodesh. 41.13.12 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will turn against their parents and have them put to death; 41.13.13 and everyone will hate you because of me.

I have told you everything in advance! 41.13.24 In those days, after that trouble, the sun will grow dark, the moon will stop shining, 41.13.25 the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in heaven will be shaken. 41.13.26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with tremendous power and glory. 41.13.27 He will send out his angels and gather together his chosen people from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. -41.13.28 “Now let the fig tree teach you its lesson: when its branches begin to sprout and leaves appear, you know that summer is approaching. +41.13.28 """Now let the fig tree teach you its lesson: when its branches begin to sprout and leaves appear, you know that summer is approaching." 41.13.29 In the same way, when you see all these things happening, you are to know that the time is near, right at the door. 41.13.30 Yes!

One of the serving-girls of the cohen hagadol -41.14.67 saw Kefa warming himself, took a look at him, and said, “You were with the man from Natzeret, Yeshua!” -41.14.68 But he denied it, saying, “I haven’t the faintest idea what you’re talking about!” He went outside into the entryway, and a rooster crowed. -41.14.69 The girl saw him there and started telling the bystanders, “This fellow is one of them.” -41.14.70 Again he denied it. A little later, the bystanders themselves said to Kefa, “You must be one of them, because you’re from the Galil.” -41.14.71 At this he began to invoke a curse on himself as he swore, “I do not know this man you are telling me about!” — -41.14.72 and immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Kefa remembered what Yeshua had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will disown me three times.” And throwing himself down, he burst into tears. -41.15.1 As soon as it was morning, the head cohanim held a council meeting with the elders, the Torah -teachers and the whole Sanhedrin .

He answered him, ""The words are yours.""" 41.15.3 The head cohanim too made accusations against him, -41.15.4 and Pilate again inquired of him, “Aren’t you going to answer?

Put him to death on the stake!” Pilate said to them, “You take him out yourselves and put him to death on the stake, because I don’t find any case against him.” -43.19.7 The Judeans answered him, “We have a law; according to that law, he ought to be put to death, because he made himself out to be the Son of God.” +43.19.3 "and went up to him, saying over and over, ""Hail, 'king of the Jews'!"" and hitting him in the face." +43.19.4 "Pilate went outside once more and said to the crowd, ""Look, I'm bringing him out to you to get you to understand that I find no case against him.""" +43.19.5 "So Yeshua came out, wearing the thorn-branch crown and the purple robe.

Don’t you understand that it is in my power either to set you free or to have you executed on the stake?” -43.19.11 Yeshua answered, “You would have no power over me if it hadn’t been given to you from above; this is why the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.” -43.19.12 On hearing this, Pilate tried to find a way to set him free; but the Judeans shouted, “If you set this man free, it means you’re not a ‘Friend of the Emperor’! Everyone who claims to be a king is opposing the Emperor!” -43.19.13 When Pilate heard what they were saying, he brought Yeshua outside and sat down on the judge’s seat in the place called The Pavement (in Aramaic, Gabta ); -43.19.14 it was about noon on Preparation Day for Pesach . He said to the Judeans, “Here’s your king!” -43.19.15 They shouted, “Take him away! Take him away!

Now the under-robe was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom; -43.19.24 so they said to one another, “We shouldn’t tear it in pieces; let’s draw for it.” This happened in order to fulfill the words from the Tanakh , “They divided my clothes among themselves and gambled for my robe.” This is why the soldiers did these things. -43.19.25 Nearby Yeshua’s execution stake stood his mother, his mother’s sister Miryam the wife of K’lofah, and Miryam from Magdala. -43.19.26 When Yeshua saw his mother and the talmid whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Mother, this is your son.” -43.19.27 Then he said to the talmid , “This is your mother.” And from that time on, the talmid took her into his own home. -43.19.28 After this, knowing that all things had accomplished their purpose, Yeshua, in order to fulfill the words of the Tanakh , said, “I’m thirsty.” +43.19.24 "so they said to one another, ""We shouldn't tear it in pieces; let's draw for it.""

As she cried, she bent down, peered into the tomb, 43.20.12 and saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Yeshua had been, one at the head and one at the feet. -43.20.13 “Why are you crying?” they asked her. “They took my Lord,” she said to them, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” -43.20.14 As she said this, she turned around and saw Yeshua standing there, but she didn’t know it was he. -43.20.15 Yeshua said to her, “Lady, why are you crying?

They heeded his advice." 44.5.40 After summoning the emissaries and flogging them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Yeshua, and let them go. 44.5.41 The emissaries left the Sanhedrin overjoyed at having been considered worthy of suffering disgrace on account of him. 44.5.42 And not for a single day, either in the Temple court or in private homes, did they stop teaching and proclaiming the Good News that Yeshua is the Messiah. 44.6.1 Around this time, when the number of talmidim was growing, the Greek-speaking Jews began complaining against those who spoke Hebrew that their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution. -44.6.2 So the Twelve called a general meeting of the talmidim and said, “It isn’t appropriate that we should neglect the Word of God in order to serve tables. +44.6.2 "So the Twelve called a general meeting of the talmidim and said, ""It isn't appropriate that we should neglect the Word of God in order to serve tables." 44.6.3 Brothers, choose seven men from among yourselves who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom.

The number of talmidim in Yerushalayim increased rapidly, and a large crowd of cohanim were becoming obedient to the faith. 44.6.8 Now Stephen, full of grace and power, performed great miracles and signs among the people. 44.6.9 But opposition arose from members of the Synagogue of the Freed Slaves (as it was called), composed of Cyrenians, Alexandrians and people from Cilicia and the province of Asia. They argued with Stephen, 44.6.10 but they could not stand up against his wisdom or the Spirit by which he spoke. -44.6.11 So they secretly persuaded some men to allege, “We heard him speak blasphemously against Moshe and against God.” -44.6.12 They stirred up the people, as well as the elders and the Torah -teachers; so they came and arrested him and led him before the Sanhedrin . -44.6.13 There they set up false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking against this holy place and against the Torah ; -44.6.14 for we have heard him say that Yeshua from Natzeret will destroy this place and will change the customs Moshe handed down to us.” +44.6.11 "So they secretly persuaded some men to allege, ""We heard him speak blasphemously against Moshe and against God.""" +44.6.12 They stirred up the people, as well as the elders and the Torah-teachers; so they came and arrested him and led him before the Sanhedrin. +44.6.13 "There they set up false witnesses who said, ""This man never stops speaking against this holy place and against the Torah;" +44.6.14 "for we have heard him say that Yeshua from Natzeret will destroy this place and will change the customs Moshe handed down to us.""" 44.6.15 Everyone sitting in the Sanhedrin stared at Stephen and saw that his face looked like the face of an angel. -44.7.1 The cohen hagadol asked, “Are these accusations true?” -44.7.2 and Stephen said: “Brothers and fathers, listen to me!

On arrival, he greatly helped those who through grace had come to trust; 44.18.28 for he powerfully and conclusively refuted the unbelieving Jews in public, demonstrating by the Tanakh that Yeshua is the Messiah. -44.19.1 While Apollos was in Corinth, Sha’ul completed his travels through the inland country and arrived at Ephesus, where he found a few talmidim . -44.19.2 He asked them, “Did you receive the Ruach HaKodesh when you came to trust?” “No,” they said to him, “we have never even heard that there is such a thing as the Ruach HaKodesh .” -44.19.3 “In that case,” he said, “into what were you immersed?” “The immersion of Yochanan,” they answered. -44.19.4 Sha’ul said, “Yochanan practiced an immersion in connection with turning from sin to God; but he told the people to put their trust in the one who would come after him, that is, in Yeshua.” +44.19.1 While Apollos was in Corinth, Sha'ul completed his travels through the inland country and arrived at Ephesus, where he found a few talmidim. +44.19.2 "He asked them, ""Did you receive the Ruach HaKodesh when you came to trust?""

So Alexander motioned for silence, hoping to make a defense speech to the people. -44.19.34 But as soon as they recognized that he was a Jew, they began bellowing in unison, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!” and they kept it up for about two hours. -44.19.35 At last, the city clerk was able to quiet the crowd. “Men of Ephesus!” he said, “Is there anyone who doesn’t know that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Artemis, and of the sacred stone which fell from the sky? +44.19.34 "But as soon as they recognized that he was a Jew, they began bellowing in unison, ""Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"" and they kept it up for about two hours." +44.19.35 "At last, the city clerk was able to quiet the crowd.

As he was preparing to set sail for Syria, he discovered a plot against him by the unbelieving Jews; so he changed his mind and decided to return by way of Macedonia. 44.20.4 Sopater from Berea, the son of Pyrrhus, accompanied him; as did Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia. 44.20.5 These men went on and waited for us in Troas, -44.20.6 while we sailed from Philippi after the Days of Matzah .

All of them, with their wives and children, accompanied us until we were outside the town. Kneeling on the beach and praying, 44.21.6 we said good-bye to each other. Then we boarded the ship, and they returned home. 44.21.7 When the voyage from Tzor was over, we arrived at Ptolemais. There we greeted the brothers and stayed with them overnight. 44.21.8 The following day, we left and came to Caesarea, where we went to the home of Philip the proclaimer of the Good News, one of the Seven, and stayed with him. 44.21.9 He had four unmarried daughters with the gift of prophecy. -44.21.10 While we were staying there, a prophet named Agav came down from Y’hudah -44.21.11 to visit us. He took Sha’ul’s belt, tied up his own hands and feet and said, “Here is what the Ruach HaKodesh says: the man who owns this belt — the Judeans in Yerushalayim will tie him up just like this and hand him over to the Goyim .” +44.21.10 While we were staying there, a prophet named Agav came down from Y'hudah +44.21.11 "to visit us.

I am prepared not only to be tied up, but even to die in Yerushalayim for the name of the Lord Yeshua.” -44.21.14 And when he would not be convinced, we said, “May the Lord’s will be done,” and kept quiet. +44.21.13 "but Sha'ul answered, ""What are you doing, crying and trying to weaken my resolve?

They brought us to the home of the man with whom we were to stay, Mnason from Cyprus, who had been a talmid since the early days. 44.21.17 In Yerushalayim, the brothers received us warmly. -44.21.18 The next day Sha’ul and the rest of us went in to Ya‘akov, and all the elders were present. -44.21.19 After greeting them, Sha’ul described in detail each of the things God had done among the Gentiles through his efforts. -44.21.20 On hearing it, they praised God; but they also said to him, “You see, brother, how many tens of thousands of believers there are among the Judeans, and they are all zealots for the Torah . -44.21.21 Now what they have been told about you is that you are teaching all the Jews living among the Goyim to apostatize from Moshe, telling them not to have a b’rit-milah for their sons and not to follow the traditions. -44.21.22 “What, then, is to be done?

Thus it was that everyone reached land safely. 44.28.1 After our escape, we learned that the island was called Malta. 44.28.2 Its people showed extraordinary kindness — it was cold and it had started to rain, so they lit a bonfire and welcomed us all. -44.28.3 Sha’ul had gathered a bundle of sticks and was adding them to the fire, when a poisonous snake, driven out by the heat, fastened itself to his hand. -44.28.4 The islanders saw the creature hanging from Sha’ul’s hand and said to one another, “This man must be a murderer.

He received us in a friendly manner and put us up for three days. -44.28.8 Now it so happened that Publius’ father was lying in bed, sick with fever attacks and dysentery.

And so we went on toward Rome. -44.28.15 The brothers there had heard about us and came as far as Appian Market and Three Inns to meet us.

Heaven forbid! -45.9.15 For to Moshe he says, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will pity whom I pity.” -45.9.16 Thus it doesn’t depend on human desires or efforts, but on God, who has mercy. -45.9.17 For the Tanakh says to Pharaoh, “It is for this very reason that I raised you up, so that in connection with you I might demonstrate my power, so that my name might be known throughout the world.” +45.9.9 "For this is what the promise said: ""At the time set, I will come; and Sarah will have a son.""" +45.9.10 And even more to the point is the case of Rivkah; for both her children were conceived in a single act with Yitz'chak, our father; +45.9.11 and before they were born, before they had done anything at all, either good or bad (so that God's plan might remain a matter of his sovereign choice, not dependent on what they did, but on God, who does the calling), +45.9.12 "it was said to her, ""The older will serve the younger.""" +45.9.13 "This accords with where it is written, ""Ya'akov I loved, but Esav I hated.""" +45.9.14 "So are we to say, ""It is unjust for God to do this""?

This: that Gentiles, even though they were not striving for righteousness, have obtained righteousness; but it is a righteousness grounded in trusting! -45.9.31 However, Isra’el, even though they kept pursuing a Torah that offers righteousness, did not reach what the Torah offers. +45.9.31 However, Isra'el, even though they kept pursuing a Torah that offers righteousness, did not reach what the Torah offers. 45.9.32 Why? Because they did not pursue righteousness as being grounded in trusting but as if it were grounded in doing legalistic works. They stumbled over the stone that makes people stumble. -45.9.33 As the Tanakh puts it, “Look, I am laying in Tziyon a stone that will make people stumble, a rock that will trip them up.

""The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart.""—that is, the word about trust which we proclaim, namely," 45.10.9 that if you acknowledge publicly with your mouth that Yeshua is Lord and trust in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be delivered. 45.10.10 For with the heart one goes on trusting and thus continues toward righteousness, while with the mouth one keeps on making public acknowledgement and thus continues toward deliverance. -45.10.11 For the passage quoted says that everyone who rests his trust on him will not be humiliated . -45.10.12 That means that there is no difference between Jew and Gentile — Adonai is the same for everyone, rich toward everyone who calls on him, -45.10.13 since everyone who calls on the name of Adonai will be delivered . -45.10.14 But how can they call on someone if they haven’t trusted in him? And how can they trust in someone if they haven’t heard about him? And how can they hear about someone if no one is proclaiming him? -45.10.15 And how can people proclaim him unless God sends them? — as the Tanakh puts it, “How beautiful are the feet of those announcing good news about good things!” -45.10.16 The problem is that they haven’t all paid attention to the Good News and obeyed it. For Yesha‘yahu says, “ Adonai , who has trusted what he has heard from us?” +45.10.11 For the passage quoted says that everyone who rests his trust on him will not be humiliated. +45.10.12 That means that there is no difference between Jew and Gentile— Adonai is the same for everyone, rich toward everyone who calls on him, +45.10.13 since everyone who calls on the name of Adonai will be delivered. +45.10.14 But how can they call on someone if they haven't trusted in him?

It is before his own master that he will stand or fall; and the fact is that he will stand, because the Lord is able to make him stand. +45.14.4 who are you to pass judgment on someone else's servant? It is before his own master that he will stand or fall; and the fact is that he will stand, because the Lord is able to make him stand. 45.14.5 One person considers some days more holy than others, while someone else regards them as being all alike. What is important is for each to be fully convinced in his own mind. 45.14.6 He who observes a day as special does so to honor the Lord. Also he who eats anything, eats to honor the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; likewise the abstainer abstains to honor the Lord, and he too gives thanks to God. 45.14.7 For none of us lives only in relation to himself, and none of us dies only in relation to himself; 45.14.8 for if we live, we live in relation to the Lord; and if we die, we die in relation to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord — 45.14.9 indeed, it was for this very reason that the Messiah died and came back to life, so that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living. -45.14.10 You then, why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For all of us will stand before God’s judgment seat; -45.14.11 since it is written in the Tanakh , “As I live, says Adonai , every knee will bend before me, and every tongue will publicly acknowledge God.” +45.14.10 You then, why do you pass judgment on your brother?

Instead, make this one judgment — not to put a stumbling block or a snare in a brother's way. 45.14.14 I know — that is, I have been persuaded by the Lord Yeshua the Messiah — that nothing is unclean in itself. But if a person considers something unclean, then for him it is unclean; 45.14.15 and if your brother is being upset by the food you eat, your life is no longer one of love. Do not, by your eating habits, destroy someone for whom the Messiah died! 45.14.16 Do not let what you know to be good, be spoken of as bad; -45.14.17 for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, shalom and joy in the Ruach HaKodesh . +45.14.17 for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, shalom and joy in the Ruach HaKodesh. 45.14.18 Anyone who serves the Messiah in this fashion both pleases God and wins the approval of other people. 45.14.19 So then, let us pursue the things that make for shalom and mutual upbuilding. -45.14.20 Don’t tear down God’s work for the sake of food. True enough, all things are clean; but it is wrong for anybody by his eating to cause someone to fall away. +45.14.20 Don't tear down God's work for the sake of food. True enough, all things are clean; but it is wrong for anybody by his eating to cause someone to fall away. 45.14.21 What is good is not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble. 45.14.22 The belief you hold about such things, keep between yourself and God. Happy the person who is free of self-condemnation when he approves of something! 45.14.23 But the doubter comes under condemnation if he eats, because his action is not based on trust. And anything not based on trust is a sin. 45.15.1 So we who are strong have a duty to bear the weaknesses of those who are not strong, rather than please ourselves. 45.15.2 Each of us should please his neighbor and act for his good, thus building him up. -45.15.3 For even the Messiah did not please himself; rather, as the Tanakh says, ‘The insults of those insulting you fell on me.’ +45.15.3 For even the Messiah did not please himself; rather, as the Tanakh says, 'The insults of those insulting you fell on me.' 45.15.4 For everything written in the past was written to teach us, so that with the encouragement of the Tanakh we might patiently hold on to our hope. 45.15.5 And may God, the source of encouragement and patience, give you the same attitude among yourselves as the Messiah Yeshua had, 45.15.6 so that with one accord and with one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. -45.15.7 So welcome each other, just as the Messiah has welcomed you into God’s glory. -45.15.8 For I say that the Messiah became a servant of the Jewish people in order to show God’s truthfulness by making good his promises to the Patriarchs, -45.15.9 and in order to show his mercy by causing the Gentiles to glorify God — as it is written in the Tanakh , “Because of this I will acknowledge you among the Gentiles and sing praise to your name.” -45.15.10 And again it says, “Gentiles, rejoice with his people.” -45.15.11 And again, “Praise Adonai , all Gentiles!

But let each one be careful how he builds. 46.3.11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Yeshua the Messiah. 46.3.12 Some will use gold, silver or precious stones in building on this foundation; while others will use wood, grass or straw. -46.3.13 But each one’s work will be shown for what it is; the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire — the fire will test the quality of each one’s work. +46.3.13 But each one's work will be shown for what it is; the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire — the fire will test the quality of each one's work. 46.3.14 If the work someone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward; 46.3.15 if it is burned up, he will have to bear the loss: he will still escape with his life, but it will be like escaping through a fire. -46.3.16 Don’t you know that you people are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? -46.3.17 So if anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you yourselves are that temple. -46.3.18 Let no one fool himself. If someone among you thinks he is wise (by this world’s standards), let him become “foolish,” so that he may become really wise. -46.3.19 For the wisdom of this world is nonsense, as far as God is concerned; inasmuch as the Tanakh says, “ He traps the wise in their own cleverness ,” -46.3.20 and again, “ Adonai knows that the thoughts of the wise are worthless .” +46.3.16 Don't you know that you people are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? +46.3.17 So if anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you yourselves are that temple. +46.3.18 "Let no one fool himself. If someone among you thinks he is wise (by this world's standards), let him become ""foolish,"" so that he may become really wise." +46.3.19 "For the wisdom of this world is nonsense, as far as God is concerned; inasmuch as the Tanakh says, ""He traps the wise in their own cleverness,""" +46.3.20 "and again, ""Adonai knows that the thoughts of the wise are worthless.""" 46.3.21 So let no one boast about human beings, for all things are yours — -46.3.22 whether Sha’ul or Apollos or Kefa or the world or life or death or the present or the future: they all belong to you, +46.3.22 whether Sha'ul or Apollos or Kefa or the world or life or death or the present or the future: they all belong to you, 46.3.23 and you belong to the Messiah, and the Messiah belongs to God. -46.4.1 So, you should regard us as the Messiah’s servants, as trustees of God’s secret truths. +46.4.1 So, you should regard us as the Messiah's servants, as trustees of God's secret truths. 46.4.2 Now the one thing that is asked of a trustee is that he be found trustworthy. -46.4.3 And it matters very little to me how I am evaluated by you or by any human court; in fact, I don’t even evaluate myself. +46.4.3 And it matters very little to me how I am evaluated by you or by any human court; in fact, I don't even evaluate myself. 46.4.4 I am not aware of anything against me, but this does not make me innocent. The one who is evaluating me is the Lord. -46.4.5 So don’t pronounce judgment prematurely, before the Lord comes; for he will bring to light what is now hidden in darkness; he will expose the motives of people’s hearts; and then each will receive from God whatever praise he deserves. +46.4.5 So don't pronounce judgment prematurely, before the Lord comes; for he will bring to light what is now hidden in darkness; he will expose the motives of people's hearts; and then each will receive from God whatever praise he deserves. 46.4.6 Now in what I have said here, brothers, I have used myself and Apollos as examples to teach you not to go beyond what the Tanakh says, proudly taking the side of one leader against another. -46.4.7 After all, what makes you so special? What do you have that you didn’t receive as a gift? And if in fact it was a gift, why do you boast as if it weren’t? +46.4.7 After all, what makes you so special? What do you have that you didn't receive as a gift? And if in fact it was a gift, why do you boast as if it weren't? 46.4.8 You are glutted already? You are rich already? You have become kings, even though we are not? Well, I wish you really were kings, so that we might share the kingship with you! 46.4.9 For I think God has been placing us emissaries on display at the tail of the parade, like men condemned to die in the public arena: we have become a spectacle before the whole universe, angels as well as men. -46.4.10 For the Messiah’s sake we are fools, but united with the Messiah you are wise! We are weak, but you are strong; you are honored, but we are dishonored. +46.4.10 For the Messiah's sake we are fools, but united with the Messiah you are wise! We are weak, but you are strong; you are honored, but we are dishonored. 46.4.11 Till this very moment we go hungry and thirsty, we are dressed in rags, we are treated roughly, we wander from place to place, 46.4.12 we exhaust ourselves working with our own hands for our living. When we are cursed, we keep on blessing; when we are persecuted, we go on putting up with it; -46.4.13 when we are slandered, we continue making our appeal. We are the world’s garbage, the scum of the earth — yes, to this moment! +46.4.13 when we are slandered, we continue making our appeal. We are the world's garbage, the scum of the earth — yes, to this moment! 46.4.14 I am not writing you this to make you feel ashamed, but, as my dear children, to confront you and get you to change. 46.4.15 For even if you have ten thousand trainers in connection with the Messiah, you do not have many fathers; for in connection with the Messiah Yeshua it was I who became your father by means of the Good News. 46.4.16 Therefore I urge you to imitate me. 46.4.17 This is why I have sent you Timothy, my beloved and trustworthy child in the Lord. He will remind you of the way of life I follow in union with the Messiah Yeshua and teach everywhere in every congregation. -46.4.18 When I didn’t come to visit you, some of you became arrogant. +46.4.18 When I didn't come to visit you, some of you became arrogant. 46.4.19 But I am coming to you soon, if the Lord wills; and I will take cognizance not of the talk of these arrogant people but of their power. 46.4.20 For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of words but of power. 46.4.21 Which do you prefer — should I come to you with a stick? or with love in a spirit of gentleness? 46.5.1 It is actually being reported that there is sexual sin among you, and it is sexual sin of a kind that is condemned even by pagans — a man is living with his stepmother! -46.5.2 And you stay proud? Shouldn’t you rather have felt some sadness that would have led you to remove from your company the man who has done this thing? +46.5.2 And you stay proud? Shouldn't you rather have felt some sadness that would have led you to remove from your company the man who has done this thing? 46.5.3 For I myself, even though I am absent physically, am with you spiritually; and I have already judged the man who has done this as if I were present. 46.5.4 In the name of the Lord Yeshua, when you are assembled, with me present spiritually and the power of our Lord Yeshua among us, 46.5.5 hand over such a person to the Adversary for his old nature to be destroyed, so that his spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord. -46.5.6 Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know the saying, “It takes only a little hametz to leaven a whole batch of dough?” -46.5.7 Get rid of the old hametz , so that you can be a new batch of dough, because in reality you are unleavened. For our Pesach lamb, the Messiah, has been sacrificed. +46.5.6 "Your boasting is not good. Don't you know the saying, ""It takes only a little hametz to leaven a whole batch of dough?""" +46.5.7 Get rid of the old hametz, so that you can be a new batch of dough, because in reality you are unleavened. For our Pesach lamb, the Messiah, has been sacrificed. 46.5.8 So let us celebrate the Seder not with leftover hametz, the hametz of wickedness and evil, but with the matzah of purity and truth. 46.5.9 In my earlier letter I wrote you not to associate with people who engage in sexual immorality. -46.5.10 I didn’t mean the sexually immoral people outside your community, or the greedy, or the thieves or the idol-worshippers — for then you would have to leave the world altogether! -46.5.11 No, what I wrote you was not to associate with anyone who is supposedly a brother but who also engages in sexual immorality, is greedy, worships idols, is abusive, gets drunk or steals. With such a person you shouldn’t even eat! -46.5.12 For what business is it of mine to judge outsiders? Isn’t it those who are part of the community that you should be judging? -46.5.13 God will judge those who are outside. Just expel the evildoer from among yourselves . -46.6.1 How dare one of you with a complaint against another go to court before pagan judges and not before God’s people? -46.6.2 Don’t you know that God’s people are going to judge the universe? If you are going to judge the universe, are you incompetent to judge these minor matters? -46.6.3 Don’t you know that we will judge angels, not to mention affairs of everyday life? +46.5.10 I didn't mean the sexually immoral people outside your community, or the greedy, or the thieves or the idol-worshippers — for then you would have to leave the world altogether! +46.5.11 No, what I wrote you was not to associate with anyone who is supposedly a brother but who also engages in sexual immorality, is greedy, worships idols, is abusive, gets drunk or steals.

If you are going to judge the universe, are you incompetent to judge these minor matters? +46.6.3 Don't you know that we will judge angels, not to mention affairs of everyday life? 46.6.4 So if you require judgments about matters of everyday life, why do you put them in front of men who have no standing in the Messianic Community? -46.6.5 I say, shame on you! Can it be that there isn’t one person among you wise enough to be able to settle a dispute between brothers? +46.6.5 I say, shame on you! Can it be that there isn't one person among you wise enough to be able to settle a dispute between brothers? 46.6.6 Instead, a brother brings a lawsuit against another brother, and that before unbelievers! 46.6.7 Actually, if you are bringing lawsuits against each other, it is already a defeat for you. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? 46.6.8 Instead, you yourselves wrong and cheat; and you do it to your own brothers! -46.6.9 Don’t you know that unrighteous people will have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don’t delude yourselves — people who engage in sex before marriage, who worship idols, who engage in sex after marriage with someone other than their spouse, who engage in active or passive homosexuality, +46.6.9 Don't you know that unrighteous people will have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don't delude yourselves — people who engage in sex before marriage, who worship idols, who engage in sex after marriage with someone other than their spouse, who engage in active or passive homosexuality, 46.6.10 who steal, who are greedy, who get drunk, who assail people with contemptuous language, who rob — none of them will share in the Kingdom of God. 46.6.11 Some of you used to do these things. But you have cleansed yourselves, you have been set apart for God, you have come to be counted righteous through the power of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah and the Spirit of our God. -46.6.12 You say, “For me, everything is permitted”? Maybe, but not everything is helpful. “For me, everything is permitted”? Maybe, but as far as I am concerned, I am not going to let anything gain control over me. -46.6.13 “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”?

So, am I to take parts of the Messiah and make them parts of a prostitute? Heaven forbid! -46.6.16 Don’t you know that a man who joins himself to a prostitute becomes physically one with her? For the Tanakh says, “The two will become one flesh”; +46.6.15 Don't you know that your bodies are parts of the Messiah? So, am I to take parts of the Messiah and make them parts of a prostitute?

For the Tanakh says, ""The two will become one flesh"";" 46.6.17 but the person who is joined to the Lord is one spirit. 46.6.18 Run from sexual immorality! Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the fornicator sins against his own body. -46.6.19 Or don’t you know that your body is a temple for the Ruach HaKodesh who lives inside you, whom you received from God? The fact is, you don’t belong to yourselves; +46.6.19 Or don't you know that your body is a temple for the Ruach HaKodesh who lives inside you, whom you received from God? The fact is, you don't belong to yourselves; 46.6.20 for you were bought at a price. So use your bodies to glorify God. -46.7.1 Now to deal with the questions you wrote about: “Is it good for a man to keep away from women?” +46.7.1 "Now to deal with the questions you wrote about: ""Is it good for a man to keep away from women?""" 46.7.2 Well, because of the danger of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife and each woman her own husband. 46.7.3 The husband should give his wife what she is entitled to in the marriage relationship, and the wife should do the same for her husband. 46.7.4 The wife is not in charge of her own body, but her husband is; likewise, the husband is not in charge of his own body, but his wife is. -46.7.5 Do not deprive each other, except for a limited time, by mutual agreement, and then only so as to have extra time for prayer; but afterwards, come together again. Otherwise, because of your lack of self-control, you may succumb to the Adversary’s temptation. +46.7.5 Do not deprive each other, except for a limited time, by mutual agreement, and then only so as to have extra time for prayer; but afterwards, come together again. Otherwise, because of your lack of self-control, you may succumb to the Adversary's temptation. 46.7.6 I am giving you this as a suggestion, not as a command. 46.7.7 Actually, I wish everyone were like me; but each has his own gift from God, one this, another that. 46.7.8 Now to the single people and the widows I say that it is fine if they remain unmarried like me; -46.7.9 but if they can’t exercise self-control, they should get married; because it is better to get married than to keep burning with sexual desire. +46.7.9 but if they can't exercise self-control, they should get married; because it is better to get married than to keep burning with sexual desire. 46.7.10 To those who are married I have a command, and it is not from me but from the Lord: a woman is not to separate herself from her husband 46.7.11 But if she does separate herself, she is to remain single or be reconciled with her husband. Also, a husband is not to leave his wife. 46.7.12 To the rest I say — I, not the Lord: if any brother has a wife who is not a believer, and she is satisfied to go on living with him, he should not leave her. 46.7.13 Also, if any woman has an unbelieving husband who is satisfied to go on living with her, she is not to leave him. -46.7.14 For the unbelieving husband has been set aside for God by the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been set aside for God by the brother — otherwise your children would be “unclean,” but as it is, they are set aside for God. +46.7.14 "For the unbelieving husband has been set aside for God by the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been set aside for God by the brother — otherwise your children would be ""unclean,"" but as it is, they are set aside for God." 46.7.15 But if the unbelieving spouse separates himself, let him be separated. In circumstances like these, the brother or sister is not enslaved — God has called you to a life of peace. 46.7.16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife? 46.7.17 Only let each person live the life the Lord has assigned him and live it in the condition he was in when God called him. This is the rule I lay down in all the congregations. -46.7.18 Was someone already circumcised when he was called? Then he should not try to remove the marks of his circumcision. Was someone uncircumcised when he was called? He shouldn’t undergo b’rit-milah . -46.7.19 Being circumcised means nothing, and being uncircumcised means nothing; what does mean something is keeping God’s commandments. +46.7.18 Was someone already circumcised when he was called? Then he should not try to remove the marks of his circumcision. Was someone uncircumcised when he was called? He shouldn't undergo b'rit-milah. +46.7.19 Being circumcised means nothing, and being uncircumcised means nothing; what does mean something is keeping God's commandments. 46.7.20 Each person should remain in the condition he was in when he was called. -46.7.21 Were you a slave when you were called? Well, don’t let it bother you; although if you can gain your freedom, take advantage of the opportunity. -46.7.22 For a person who was a slave when he was called is the Lord’s freedman; likewise, someone who was a free man when he was called is a slave of the Messiah. +46.7.21 Were you a slave when you were called? Well, don't let it bother you; although if you can gain your freedom, take advantage of the opportunity. +46.7.22 For a person who was a slave when he was called is the Lord's freedman; likewise, someone who was a free man when he was called is a slave of the Messiah. 46.7.23 You were bought at a price, so do not become slaves of other human beings. 46.7.24 Brothers, let each one remain with God in the condition in which he was called. -46.7.25 Now the question about the unmarried: I do not have a command from the Lord, but I offer an opinion as one who by the Lord’s mercy is worthy to be trusted. +46.7.25 Now the question about the unmarried: I do not have a command from the Lord, but I offer an opinion as one who by the Lord's mercy is worthy to be trusted. 46.7.26 I suppose that in a time of stress like the present it is good for a person to stay as he is. 46.7.27 That means that if a man has a wife, he should not seek to be free of her; and if he is unmarried, he should not look for a wife. 46.7.28 But if you marry you do not sin, and if a girl marries she does not sin. It is just that those who get married will have the normal problems of married life, and I would rather spare you. 46.7.29 What I am saying, brothers, is that there is not much time left: from now on a man with a wife should live as if he had none — -46.7.30 and those who are sad should live as if they weren’t, those who are happy as if they weren’t, -46.7.31 and those who deal in worldly affairs as if not engrossed in them — because the present scheme of things in this world won’t last much longer. -46.7.32 What I want is for you to be free of concern. An unmarried man concerns himself with the Lord’s affairs, -46.7.33 with how to please the Lord; but the married man concerns himself with the world’s affairs, with how to please his wife; -46.7.34 and he finds himself split. Likewise the woman who is no longer married or the girl who has never been married concerns herself with the Lord’s affairs, with how to be holy both physically and spiritually; but the married woman concerns herself with the world’s affairs, with how to please her husband. +46.7.30 and those who are sad should live as if they weren't, those who are happy as if they weren't, +46.7.31 and those who deal in worldly affairs as if not engrossed in them — because the present scheme of things in this world won't last much longer. +46.7.32 What I want is for you to be free of concern. An unmarried man concerns himself with the Lord's affairs, +46.7.33 with how to please the Lord; but the married man concerns himself with the world's affairs, with how to please his wife; +46.7.34 and he finds himself split. Likewise the woman who is no longer married or the girl who has never been married concerns herself with the Lord's affairs, with how to be holy both physically and spiritually; but the married woman concerns herself with the world's affairs, with how to please her husband. 46.7.35 I am telling you this for your own benefit, not to put restrictions on you — I am simply concerned that you live in a proper manner and serve the Lord with undivided devotion. 46.7.36 Now if a man thinks he is behaving dishonorably by treating his fiancée this way, and if there is strong sexual desire, so that marriage is what ought to happen; then let him do what he wants — he is not sinning: let them get married. 46.7.37 But if a man has firmly made up his mind, being under no compulsion but having complete control over his will, if he has decided within himself to keep his fiancée a virgin, he will be doing well. -46.7.38 So the man who marries his fiancée will do well, and the man who doesn’t marry will do better. +46.7.38 So the man who marries his fiancée will do well, and the man who doesn't marry will do better. 46.7.39 A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives, but if the husband dies she is free to marry anyone she wishes, provided he is a believer in the Lord. -46.7.40 However, in my opinion, she will be happier if she remains unmarried, and in saying this I think I have God’s Spirit. -46.8.1 Now about food sacrificed to idols: we know that, as you say, “We all have knowledge.” Yes, that is so, but “knowledge” puffs a person up with pride; whereas love builds up. -46.8.2 The person who thinks he “knows” something doesn’t yet know in the way he ought to know. +46.7.40 However, in my opinion, she will be happier if she remains unmarried, and in saying this I think I have God's Spirit. +46.8.1 "Now about food sacrificed to idols: we know that, as you say, ""We all have knowledge."" Yes, that is so, but ""knowledge"" puffs a person up with pride; whereas love builds up." +46.8.2 "The person who thinks he ""knows"" something doesn't yet know in the way he ought to know." 46.8.3 However, if someone loves God, God knows him. -46.8.4 So, as for eating food sacrificed to idols, we “know” that, as you say, “An idol has no real existence in the world, and there is only one God.” -46.8.5 For even if there are so-called “gods,” either in heaven or on earth — as in fact there are “gods” and “lords” galore — +46.8.4 "So, as for eating food sacrificed to idols, we ""know"" that, as you say, ""An idol has no real existence in the world, and there is only one God.""" +46.8.5 "For even if there are so-called ""gods,"" either in heaven or on earth — as in fact there are ""gods"" and ""lords"" galore —" 46.8.6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom all things come and for whom we exist; and one Lord, Yeshua the Messiah, through whom were created all things and through whom we have our being. 46.8.7 But not everyone has this knowledge. Moreover, some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat food which has been sacrificed to them, they think of it as really affected by the idol; and their consciences, being weak, are thus defiled. 46.8.8 Now food will not improve our relationship with God — we will be neither poorer if we abstain nor richer if we eat. 46.8.9 However watch out that your mastery of the situation does not become a stumbling block to the weak. -46.8.10 You have this “knowledge”; but suppose someone with a weak conscience sees you sitting, eating a meal in the temple of an idol. Won’t he be built up wrongly to eat this food which has been sacrificed to idols? -46.8.11 Thus by your “knowledge” this weak person is destroyed, this brother for whom the Messiah died; +46.8.10 "You have this ""knowledge""; but suppose someone with a weak conscience sees you sitting, eating a meal in the temple of an idol. Won't he be built up wrongly to eat this food which has been sacrificed to idols?" +46.8.11 "Thus by your ""knowledge"" this weak person is destroyed, this brother for whom the Messiah died;" 46.8.12 and so, when you sin against the brothers by wounding their conscience when it is weak, you are sinning against the Messiah! 46.8.13 To sum up, if food will be a snare for my brother, I will never eat meat again, lest I cause my brother to sin. -46.9.1 Am I not a free man? Am I not an emissary of the Messiah? Haven’t I seen Yeshua our Lord? And aren’t you yourselves the result of my work for the Lord? -46.9.2 Even if to others I am not an emissary, at least I am to you; for you are living proof that I am the Lord’s emissary. +46.9.1 Am I not a free man? Am I not an emissary of the Messiah? Haven't I seen Yeshua our Lord? And aren't you yourselves the result of my work for the Lord? +46.9.2 Even if to others I am not an emissary, at least I am to you; for you are living proof that I am the Lord's emissary. 46.9.3 That is my defense when people put me under examination. -46.9.4 Don’t we have the right to be given food and drink? -46.9.5 Don’t we have the right to take along with us a believing wife, as do the other emissaries, also the Lord’s brothers and Kefa? +46.9.4 Don't we have the right to be given food and drink? +46.9.5 Don't we have the right to take along with us a believing wife, as do the other emissaries, also the Lord's brothers and Kefa? 46.9.6 Or are Bar-Nabba and I the only ones required to go on working for our living? 46.9.7 Did you ever hear of a soldier paying his own expenses? or of a farmer planting a vineyard without eating its grapes? Who shepherds a flock without drinking some of the milk? 46.9.8 What I am saying is not based merely on human authority, because the Torah says the same thing — -46.9.9 for in the Torah of Moshe it is written, “You are not to put a muzzle on an ox when it is treading out the grain.” If God is concerned about cattle, +46.9.9 "for in the Torah of Moshe it is written, ""You are not to put a muzzle on an ox when it is treading out the grain."" If God is concerned about cattle," 46.9.10 all the more does he say this for our sakes. Yes, it was written for us, meaning that he who plows and he who threshes should work expecting to get a share of the crop. 46.9.11 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? -46.9.12 If others are sharing in this right to be supported by you, don’t we have a greater claim to it? But we don’t make use of this right. Rather, we put up with all kinds of things so as not to impede in any way the Good News about the Messiah. -46.9.13 Don’t you know that those who work in the Temple get their food from the Temple, and those who serve at the altar get a share of the sacrifices offered there? +46.9.12 If others are sharing in this right to be supported by you, don't we have a greater claim to it?

Also, he blessed Avraham, the man who received God's promises; 58.7.7 and it is beyond all dispute that the one who blesses has higher status than the one who receives the blessing. -58.7.8 Moreover, in the case of the cohanim , the tenth is received by men who die; while in the case of Malki-Tzedek, it is received by someone who is testified to be still alive. +58.7.8 Moreover, in the case of the cohanim, the tenth is received by men who die; while in the case of Malki-Tzedek, it is received by someone who is testified to be still alive. 58.7.9 One might go even further and say that Levi, who himself receives tenths, paid a tenth through Avraham; -58.7.10 inasmuch as he was still in his ancestor Avraham’s body when Malki-Tzedek met him. -58.7.11 Therefore, if it had been possible to reach the goal through the system of cohanim derived from Levi (since in connection with it, the people were given the Torah ), what need would there have been for another, different kind of cohen , the one spoken of as to be compared with Malki-Tzedek and not to be compared with Aharon? -58.7.12 For if the system of cohanim is transformed, there must of necessity occur a transformation of Torah . +58.7.10 inasmuch as he was still in his ancestor Avraham's body when Malki-Tzedek met him. +58.7.11 Therefore, if it had been possible to reach the goal through the system of cohanim derived from Levi (since in connection with it, the people were given the Torah), what need would there have been for another, different kind of cohen, the one spoken of as to be compared with Malki-Tzedek and not to be compared with Aharon? +58.7.12 For if the system of cohanim is transformed, there must of necessity occur a transformation of Torah. 58.7.13 The one about whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar; -58.7.14 for everyone knows that our Lord arose out of Y’hudah, and that Moshe said nothing about this tribe when he spoke about cohanim . -58.7.15 It becomes even clearer if a “different kind of cohen ,” one like Malki-Tzedek, arises, +58.7.14 for everyone knows that our Lord arose out of Y'hudah, and that Moshe said nothing about this tribe when he spoke about cohanim. +58.7.15 "It becomes even clearer if a ""different kind of cohen,"" one like Malki-Tzedek, arises," 58.7.16 one who became a cohen not by virtue of a rule in the Torah concerning physical descent, but by virtue of the power of an indestructible life. -58.7.17 For it is stated, “You are a cohen FOREVER, to be compared with Malki-Tzedek.” +58.7.17 "For it is stated, ""You are a cohen FOREVER, to be compared with Malki-Tzedek.""" 58.7.18 Thus, on the one hand, the earlier rule is set aside because of its weakness and inefficacy 58.7.19 (for the Torah did not bring anything to the goal); and, on the other hand, a hope of something better is introduced, through which we are drawing near to God. 58.7.20 What is more, God swore an oath.

Its rider's name was Death, and Sh'ol followed behind him. They were given authority to kill one-quarter of the world by war, by famine, by plagues and with the wild animals of the earth. 66.6.9 When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been put to death for proclaiming the Word of God, that is, for bearing witness. -66.6.10 They cried out in a loud voice, “Sovereign Ruler, HaKadosh , the True One, how long will it be before you judge the people living on earth and avenge our blood?” +66.6.10 "They cried out in a loud voice, ""Sovereign Ruler, HaKadosh, the True One, how long will it be before you judge the people living on earth and avenge our blood?""" 66.6.11 Each of them was given a white robe; and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow-servants should be reached, of their brothers who would be killed, just as they had been. 66.6.12 Then I watched as he broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, the sun turned black as sackcloth worn in mourning, and the full moon became blood-red. 66.6.13 The stars fell from heaven to earth just as a fig tree drops its figs when shaken by a strong wind. 66.6.14 The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place. -66.6.15 Then the earth’s kings, the rulers, the generals, the rich and the mighty — indeed, everyone, slave and free — hid himself in caves and among the rocks in the mountains, -66.6.16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “ Fall on us, and hide us from the face of the One sitting on the throne and from the fury of the Lamb! -66.6.17 For the Great Day of their fury has come, and who can stand?” +66.6.15 Then the earth's kings, the rulers, the generals, the rich and the mighty — indeed, everyone, slave and free — hid himself in caves and among the rocks in the mountains, +66.6.16 "and said to the mountains and rocks, ""Fall on us, and hide us from the face of the One sitting on the throne and from the fury of the Lamb!" +66.6.17 "For the Great Day of their fury has come, and who can stand?""" 66.7.1 After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the land, on the sea or on any tree. 66.7.2 I saw another angel coming up from the east with a seal from the living God, and he shouted to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea, -66.7.3 “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads!” -66.7.4 I heard how many were sealed — 144,000 from every tribe of the people of Isra’el: -66.7.5 From the tribe of Y’hudah 12,000 were sealed from the tribe of Re’uven 12,000 from the tribe of Gad, 12,000 -66.7.6 from the tribe of Asher 12,000 from the tribe of Naftali 12,000 from the tribe of M’nasheh 12,000 -66.7.7 from the tribe of Shim‘on 12,000 from the tribe of Levi 12,000 from the tribe of Yissakhar 12,000 -66.7.8 from the tribe of Z’vulun 12,000 from the tribe of Yosef 12,000 from the tribe of Binyamin 12,000 +66.7.3 """Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads!""" +66.7.4 I heard how many were sealed — 144,000 from every tribe of the people of Isra'el: +66.7.5 From the tribe of Y'hudah 12,000 were sealed from the tribe of Re'uven 12,000 from the tribe of Gad, 12,000 +66.7.6 from the tribe of Asher 12,000 from the tribe of Naftali 12,000 from the tribe of M'nasheh 12,000 +66.7.7 from the tribe of Shim'on 12,000 from the tribe of Levi 12,000 from the tribe of Yissakhar 12,000 +66.7.8 from the tribe of Z'vulun 12,000 from the tribe of Yosef 12,000 from the tribe of Binyamin 12,000 66.7.9 After this, I looked; and there before me was a huge crowd, too large for anyone to count, from every nation, tribe, people and language.

And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.""" 41.1.1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. -41.1.2 As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, “ Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way, -41.1.3 the voice of one shouting in the wilderness, ‘ Prepare the way for the Lord, make his paths straight . ’” +41.1.2 "As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, ""Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way," +41.1.3 "the voice of one shouting in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make his paths straight.'""" 41.1.4 In the wilderness John the baptizer began preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 41.1.5 People from the whole Judean countryside and all of Jerusalem were going out to him, and he was baptizing them in the Jordan River as they confessed their sins. -41.1.6 John wore a garment made of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. -41.1.7 He proclaimed, “One more powerful than I am is coming after me; I am not worthy to bend down and untie the strap of his sandals. -41.1.8 I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” +41.1.6 John wore a garment made of camel's hair with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. +41.1.7 "He proclaimed, ""One more powerful than I am is coming after me; I am not worthy to bend down and untie the strap of his sandals." +41.1.8 "I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.""" 41.1.9 Now in those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan River. 41.1.10 And just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens splitting apart and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. -41.1.11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my one dear Son; in you I take great delight.” +41.1.11 "And a voice came from heaven: ""You are my one dear Son; in you I take great delight.""" 41.1.12 The Spirit immediately drove him into the wilderness. 41.1.13 He was in the wilderness forty days, enduring temptations from Satan. He was with wild animals, and angels were ministering to his needs. 41.1.14 Now after John was imprisoned, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God. -41.1.15 He said, “The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the gospel!” -41.1.16 As he went along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, Simon’s brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishermen). -41.1.17 Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will turn you into fishers of people!” +41.1.15 "He said, ""The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is near.

When the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. 41.1.22 The people there were amazed by his teaching, because he taught them like one who had authority, not like the experts in the law. 41.1.23 Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, -41.1.24 “Leave us alone, Jesus the Nazarene! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” -41.1.25 But Jesus rebuked him: “Silence! Come out of him!” +41.1.24 """Leave us alone, Jesus the Nazarene! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!""" +41.1.25 "But Jesus rebuked him: ""Silence! Come out of him!""" 41.1.26 After throwing him into convulsions, the unclean spirit cried out with a loud voice and came out of him. -41.1.27 They were all amazed so that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He even commands the unclean spirits and they obey him.” +41.1.27 "They were all amazed so that they asked each other, ""What is this? A new teaching with authority! He even commands the unclean spirits and they obey him.""" 41.1.28 So the news about him spread quickly throughout all the region around Galilee. -41.1.29 Now as soon as they left the synagogue, they entered Simon and Andrew’s house, with James and John. -41.1.30 Simon’s mother-in-law was lying down, sick with a fever, so they spoke to Jesus at once about her. +41.1.29 Now as soon as they left the synagogue, they entered Simon and Andrew's house, with James and John. +41.1.30 Simon's mother-in-law was lying down, sick with a fever, so they spoke to Jesus at once about her. 41.1.31 He came and raised her up by gently taking her hand. Then the fever left her and she began to serve them. 41.1.32 When it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were sick and demon-possessed. 41.1.33 The whole town gathered by the door. 41.1.34 So he healed many who were sick with various diseases and drove out many demons. But he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him. 41.1.35 Then Jesus got up early in the morning when it was still very dark, departed, and went out to a deserted place, and there he spent time in prayer. 41.1.36 Simon and his companions searched for him. -41.1.37 When they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you.” -41.1.38 He replied, “Let us go elsewhere, into the surrounding villages, so that I can preach there too.

For that is what I came out here to do.""" 41.1.39 So he went into all of Galilee preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons. -41.1.40 Now a leper came to him and fell to his knees, asking for help. “If you are willing, you can make me clean,” he said. -41.1.41 Moved with indignation, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing. Be clean!” +41.1.40 "Now a leper came to him and fell to his knees, asking for help. ""If you are willing, you can make me clean,"" he said." +41.1.41 "Moved with indignation, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, ""I am willing. Be clean!""" 41.1.42 The leprosy left him at once, and he was clean. 41.1.43 Immediately Jesus sent the man away with a very strong warning. -41.1.44 He told him, “See that you do not say anything to anyone, but go, show yourself to a priest, and bring the offering that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.” +41.1.44 "He told him, ""See that you do not say anything to anyone, but go, show yourself to a priest, and bring the offering that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.""" 41.1.45 But as the man went out he began to announce it publicly and spread the story widely, so that Jesus was no longer able to enter any town openly but stayed outside in remote places. Still they kept coming to him from everywhere. 41.2.1 Now after some days, when he returned to Capernaum, the news spread that he was at home. 41.2.2 So many gathered that there was no longer any room, not even by the door, and he preached the word to them. 41.2.3 Some people came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them. 41.2.4 When they were not able to bring him in because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Jesus. Then, after tearing it out, they lowered the stretcher the paralytic was lying on. -41.2.5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” +41.2.5 "When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, ""Son, your sins are forgiven.""" 41.2.6 Now some of the experts in the law were sitting there, turning these things over in their minds: -41.2.7 “Why does this man speak this way? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” -41.2.8 Now immediately, when Jesus realized in his spirit that they were contemplating such thoughts, he said to them, “Why are you thinking such things in your hearts? -41.2.9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Stand up, take your stretcher, and walk’? -41.2.10 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,”—he said to the paralytic — -41.2.11 “I tell you, stand up, take your stretcher, and go home.” -41.2.12 And immediately the man stood up, took his stretcher, and went out in front of them all.

The whole crowd came to him, and he taught them. -41.2.14 As he went along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax booth. “Follow me,” he said to him. And he got up and followed him. -41.2.15 As Jesus was having a meal in Levi’s home, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. -41.2.16 When the experts in the law and the Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” -41.2.17 When Jesus heard this he said to them, “Those who are healthy don’t need a physician, but those who are sick do. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” -41.2.18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. So they came to Jesus and said, “Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t fast?” -41.2.19 Jesus said to them, “The wedding guests cannot fast while the bridegroom is with them, can they? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they do not fast. +41.2.14 "As he went along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax booth. ""Follow me,"" he said to him.

Instead new wine is poured into new wineskins.""" 41.2.23 Jesus was going through the grain fields on a Sabbath, and his disciples began to pick some heads of wheat as they made their way. -41.2.24 So the Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is against the law on the Sabbath?” -41.2.25 He said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions were hungry— -41.2.26 how he entered the house of God when Abiathar was high priest and ate the sacred bread, which is against the law for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to his companions?” -41.2.27 Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for people, not people for the Sabbath. -41.2.28 For this reason the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.” +41.2.24 "So the Pharisees said to him, ""Look, why are they doing what is against the law on the Sabbath?""" +41.2.25 "He said to them, ""Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions were hungry—" +41.2.26 "how he entered the house of God when Abiathar was high priest and ate the sacred bread, which is against the law for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to his companions?""" +41.2.27 "Then he said to them, ""The Sabbath was made for people, not people for the Sabbath." +41.2.28 "For this reason the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.""" 41.3.1 Then Jesus entered the synagogue again, and a man was there who had a withered hand. 41.3.2 They watched Jesus closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they could accuse him. -41.3.3 So he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Stand up among all these people.” -41.3.4 Then he said to them, “Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath, or evil, to save a life or destroy it?” But they were silent. -41.3.5 After looking around at them in anger, grieved by the hardness of their hearts, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. +41.3.3 "So he said to the man who had the withered hand, ""Stand up among all these people.""" +41.3.4 "Then he said to them, ""Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath, or evil, to save a life or destroy it?""

He stretched it out, and his hand was restored." 41.3.6 So the Pharisees went out immediately and began plotting with the Herodians, as to how they could assassinate him. 41.3.7 Then Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him. And from Judea, 41.3.8 Jerusalem, Idumea, beyond the Jordan River, and around Tyre and Sidon a great multitude came to him when they heard about the things he had done. 41.3.9 Because of the crowd, he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him so the crowd would not press toward him. 41.3.10 For he had healed many, so that all who were afflicted with diseases pressed toward him in order to touch him. -41.3.11 And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.” +41.3.11 "And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, ""You are the Son of God.""" 41.3.12 But he sternly ordered them not to make him known. 41.3.13 Now Jesus went up the mountain and called for those he wanted, and they came to him. 41.3.14 He appointed twelve so that they would be with him and he could send them to preach 41.3.15 and to have authority to cast out demons. 41.3.16 To Simon he gave the name Peter; -41.3.17 to James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee, he gave the name Boanerges (that is, “sons of thunder”); +41.3.17 "to James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee, he gave the name Boanerges (that is, ""sons of thunder"");" 41.3.18 and Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot, 41.3.19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. 41.3.20 Now Jesus went home, and a crowd gathered so that they were not able to eat. -41.3.21 When his family heard this they went out to restrain him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.” -41.3.22 The experts in the law who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and, “By the ruler of demons he casts out demons!” -41.3.23 So he called them and spoke to them in parables: “How can Satan cast out Satan? +41.3.21 "When his family heard this they went out to restrain him, for they said, ""He is out of his mind.""" +41.3.22 "The experts in the law who came down from Jerusalem said, ""He is possessed by Beelzebul,"" and, ""By the ruler of demons he casts out demons!""" +41.3.23 "So he called them and spoke to them in parables: ""How can Satan cast out Satan?" 41.3.24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom will not be able to stand. 41.3.25 If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 41.3.26 And if Satan rises against himself and is divided, he is not able to stand and his end has come. -41.3.27 But no one is able to enter a strong man’s house and steal his property unless he first ties up the strong man.

Standing outside, they sent word to him, to summon him. -41.3.32 A crowd was sitting around him and they said to him, “Look, your mother and your brothers are outside looking for you.” -41.3.33 He answered them and said, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” -41.3.34 And looking at those who were sitting around him in a circle, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! -41.3.35 For whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.” +41.3.29 "But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, but is guilty of an eternal sin""" +41.3.30 "(because they said, ""He has an unclean spirit"")." +41.3.31 Then Jesus' mother and his brothers came.

Such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat on the lake and sat there while the whole crowd was on the shore by the lake. 41.4.2 He taught them many things in parables, and in his teaching said to them: -41.4.3 “Listen! A sower went out to sow. +41.4.3 """Listen! A sower went out to sow." 41.4.4 And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. 41.4.5 Other seed fell on rocky ground where it did not have much soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep. 41.4.6 When the sun came up it was scorched, and because it did not have sufficient root, it withered. 41.4.7 Other seed fell among the thorns, and they grew up and choked it, and it did not produce grain. -41.4.8 But other seed fell on good soil and produced grain, sprouting and growing; some yielded thirty times as much, some sixty, and some a hundred times.” -41.4.9 And he said, “Whoever has ears to hear had better listen!” +41.4.8 "But other seed fell on good soil and produced grain, sprouting and growing; some yielded thirty times as much, some sixty, and some a hundred times.""" +41.4.9 "And he said, ""Whoever has ears to hear had better listen!""" 41.4.10 When he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him about the parables. -41.4.11 He said to them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you.

Then, when trouble or persecution comes because of the word, immediately they fall away. 41.4.18 Others are the ones sown among thorns: They are those who hear the word, 41.4.19 but worldly cares, the seductiveness of wealth, and the desire for other things come in and choke the word, and it produces nothing. -41.4.20 But these are the ones sown on good soil: They hear the word and receive it and bear fruit, one thirty times as much, one sixty, and one a hundred.” -41.4.21 He also said to them, “A lamp isn’t brought to be put under a basket or under a bed, is it?

The measure you use will be the measure you receive, and more will be added to you. -41.4.25 For whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.” -41.4.26 He also said, “The kingdom of God is like someone who spreads seed on the ground. +41.4.23 "If anyone has ears to hear, he had better listen!""" +41.4.24 "And he said to them, ""Take care about what you hear.

They woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are about to die?” -41.4.39 So he got up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Be quiet! Calm down!” Then the wind stopped, and it was dead calm. -41.4.40 And he said to them, “Why are you cowardly? Do you still not have faith?” -41.4.41 They were overwhelmed by fear and said to one another, “Who then is this?

No one was strong enough to subdue him. 41.5.5 Each night and every day among the tombs and in the mountains, he would cry out and cut himself with stones. 41.5.6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed down before him. -41.5.7 Then he cried out with a loud voice, “Leave me alone, Jesus, Son of the Most High God!

So Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. -41.8.33 But after turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan. You are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but on man’s.” -41.8.34 Then Jesus called the crowd, along with his disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wants to become my follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. +41.8.33 "But after turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, ""Get behind me, Satan.

And he was transfigured before them, 41.9.3 and his clothes became radiantly white, more so than any launderer in the world could bleach them. 41.9.4 Then Elijah appeared before them along with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. -41.9.5 So Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters —one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” +41.9.5 "So Peter said to Jesus, ""Rabbi, it is good for us to be here.

He fell on the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth. -41.9.21 Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. -41.9.22 It has often thrown him into fire or water to destroy him.

I beg you, do not torment me!” +42.8.28 "When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before him, and shouted with a loud voice, ""Leave me alone, Jesus, Son of the Most High God! I beg you, do not torment me!""" 42.8.29 For Jesus had started commanding the evil spirit to come out of the man. (For it had seized him many times, so he would be bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard. But he would break the restraints and be driven by the demon into deserted places.) -42.8.30 Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered him. +42.8.30 "Jesus then asked him, ""What is your name?"" He said, ""Legion,"" because many demons had entered him." 42.8.31 And they began to beg him not to order them to depart into the abyss. 42.8.32 Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and the demonic spirits begged Jesus to let them go into them. He gave them permission. 42.8.33 So the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd of pigs rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned. 42.8.34 When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran off and spread the news in the town and countryside. -42.8.35 So the people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus. They found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. +42.8.35 So the people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus. They found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. 42.8.36 Those who had seen it told them how the man who had been demon-possessed had been healed. 42.8.37 Then all the people of the Gerasenes and the surrounding region asked Jesus to leave them alone, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and left. 42.8.38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, -42.8.39 “Return to your home, and declare what God has done for you.” So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole town what Jesus had done for him. +42.8.39 """Return to your home, and declare what God has done for you."" So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole town what Jesus had done for him." 42.8.40 Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, because they were all waiting for him. -42.8.41 Then a man named Jairus, who was a leader of the synagogue, came up. Falling at Jesus’ feet, he pleaded with him to come to his house, +42.8.41 Then a man named Jairus, who was a leader of the synagogue, came up. Falling at Jesus' feet, he pleaded with him to come to his house, 42.8.42 because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds pressed around him. 42.8.43 Now a woman was there who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years but could not be healed by anyone. 42.8.44 She came up behind Jesus and touched the edge of his cloak, and at once the bleeding stopped. -42.8.45 Then Jesus asked, “Who was it who touched me?” When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds are surrounding you and pressing against you!” -42.8.46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I know that power has gone out from me.” +42.8.45 "Then Jesus asked, ""Who was it who touched me?"" When they all denied it, Peter said, ""Master, the crowds are surrounding you and pressing against you!""" +42.8.46 "But Jesus said, ""Someone touched me, for I know that power has gone out from me.""" 42.8.47 When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed. -42.8.48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace.” -42.8.49 While he was still speaking, someone from the synagogue leader’s house came and said, “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher any longer.” -42.8.50 But when Jesus heard this, he told him, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.” -42.8.51 Now when he came to the house, Jesus did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, and James, and the child’s father and mother. -42.8.52 Now they were all wailing and mourning for her, but he said, “Stop your weeping; she is not dead but asleep!” +42.8.48 "Then he said to her, ""Daughter, your faith has made you well.

Then he told them to give her something to eat. 42.8.56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened. 42.9.1 After Jesus called the twelve together, he gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, 42.9.2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. -42.9.3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, and do not take an extra tunic. +42.9.3 "He said to them, ""Take nothing for your journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, and do not take an extra tunic." 42.9.4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave the area. -42.9.5 Wherever they do not receive you, as you leave that town, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.” +42.9.5 "Wherever they do not receive you, as you leave that town, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.""" 42.9.6 Then they departed and went throughout the villages, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere. 42.9.7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about everything that was happening, and he was thoroughly perplexed, because some people were saying that John had been raised from the dead, 42.9.8 while others were saying that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had risen. -42.9.9 Herod said, “I had John beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” So Herod wanted to learn about Jesus. +42.9.9 "Herod said, ""I had John beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?"" So Herod wanted to learn about Jesus." 42.9.10 When the apostles returned, they told Jesus everything they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew privately to a town called Bethsaida. 42.9.11 But when the crowds found out, they followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and cured those who needed healing. -42.9.12 Now the day began to draw to a close, so the twelve came and said to Jesus, “Send the crowd away, so they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and food, because we are in an isolated place.” -42.9.13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They replied, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all these people.” -42.9.14 (Now about 5,000 men were there.) Then he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” +42.9.12 "Now the day began to draw to a close, so the twelve came and said to Jesus, ""Send the crowd away, so they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and food, because we are in an isolated place.""" +42.9.13 "But he said to them, ""You give them something to eat.""

He gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. 42.9.17 They all ate and were satisfied, and what was left over was picked up—twelve baskets of broken pieces. -42.9.18 Once when Jesus was praying by himself, and his disciples were nearby, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” -42.9.19 They answered, “John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others that one of the prophets of long ago has risen.” -42.9.20 Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.” +42.9.18 "Once when Jesus was praying by himself, and his disciples were nearby, he asked them, ""Who do the crowds say that I am?""" +42.9.19 "They answered, ""John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others that one of the prophets of long ago has risen.""" +42.9.20 "Then he said to them, ""But who do you say that I am?"" Peter answered, ""The Christ of God.""" 42.9.21 But he forcefully commanded them not to tell this to anyone, -42.9.22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and experts in the law, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.” -42.9.23 Then he said to them all, “If anyone wants to become my follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me. +42.9.22 "saying, ""The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and experts in the law, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.""" +42.9.23 "Then he said to them all, ""If anyone wants to become my follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me." 42.9.24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of me will save it. 42.9.25 For what does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself? 42.9.26 For whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. -42.9.27 But I tell you most certainly, there are some standing here who will not experience death before they see the kingdom of God.” +42.9.27 "But I tell you most certainly, there are some standing here who will not experience death before they see the kingdom of God.""" 42.9.28 Now about eight days after these sayings, Jesus took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up the mountain to pray. 42.9.29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face was transformed, and his clothes became very bright, a brilliant white. 42.9.30 Then two men, Moses and Elijah, began talking with him. 42.9.31 They appeared in glorious splendor and spoke about his departure that he was about to carry out at Jerusalem. 42.9.32 Now Peter and those with him were quite sleepy, but as they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. -42.9.33 Then as the men were starting to leave, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he was saying. +42.9.33 "Then as the men were starting to leave, Peter said to Jesus, ""Master, it is good for us to be here.

Listen to him!” +42.9.35 "Then a voice came from the cloud, saying, ""This is my Son, my Chosen One. Listen to him!""" 42.9.36 After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. So they kept silent and told no one at that time anything of what they had seen. 42.9.37 Now on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd met him. -42.9.38 Then a man from the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son—he is my only child! +42.9.38 "Then a man from the crowd cried out, ""Teacher, I beg you to look at my son—he is my only child!" 42.9.39 A spirit seizes him, and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions and causes him to foam at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him alone, torturing him severely. -42.9.40 I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not do so.” -42.9.41 Jesus answered, “You unbelieving and perverse generation!

But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. 42.9.43 Then they were all astonished at the mighty power of God. But while the entire crowd was amazed at everything Jesus was doing, he said to his disciples, -42.9.44 “Take these words to heart, for the Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men.” +42.9.44 """Take these words to heart, for the Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men.""" 42.9.45 But they did not understand this statement; its meaning had been concealed from them, so that they could not grasp it. Yet they were afraid to ask him about this statement. 42.9.46 Now an argument started among the disciples as to which of them might be the greatest. 42.9.47 But when Jesus discerned their innermost thoughts, he took a child, had him stand by his side, -42.9.48 and said to them, “Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me, for the one who is least among you all is the one who is great.” -42.9.49 John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him because he is not a disciple along with us.” -42.9.50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not stop him, for whoever is not against you is for you.” +42.9.48 "and said to them, ""Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me, for the one who is least among you all is the one who is great.""" +42.9.49 "John answered, ""Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him because he is not a disciple along with us.""" +42.9.50 "But Jesus said to him, ""Do not stop him, for whoever is not against you is for you.""" 42.9.51 Now when the days drew near for him to be taken up, Jesus set out resolutely to go to Jerusalem. 42.9.52 He sent messengers on ahead of him. As they went along, they entered a Samaritan village to make things ready in advance for him, 42.9.53 but the villagers refused to welcome him, because he was determined to go to Jerusalem. -42.9.54 Now when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call fire to come down from heaven and consume them ?” +42.9.54 "Now when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, ""Lord, do you want us to call fire to come down from heaven and consume them?""" 42.9.55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them, 42.9.56 and they went on to another village. -42.9.57 As they were walking along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” -42.9.58 Jesus said to him, “Foxes have dens and the birds in the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” -42.9.59 Jesus said to another, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” -42.9.60 But Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” -42.9.61 Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say goodbye to my family.” -42.9.62 Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” +42.9.57 "As they were walking along the road, someone said to him, ""I will follow you wherever you go.""" +42.9.58 "Jesus said to him, ""Foxes have dens and the birds in the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.""" +42.9.59 "Jesus said to another, ""Follow me.""

It is because you cannot accept my teaching. +43.8.41 "You people are doing the deeds of your father."" Then they said to Jesus, ""We were not born as a result of immorality!

It is because you cannot accept my teaching. 43.8.44 You people are from your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies. 43.8.45 But because I am telling you the truth, you do not believe me. -43.8.46 Who among you can prove me guilty of any sin? If I am telling you the truth, why don’t you believe me? -43.8.47 The one who belongs to God listens and responds to God’s words. You don’t listen and respond, because you don’t belong to God.” -43.8.48 The Judeans replied, “Aren’t we correct in saying that you are a Samaritan and are possessed by a demon?” -43.8.49 Jesus answered, “I am not possessed by a demon, but I honor my Father—and yet you dishonor me. +43.8.46 Who among you can prove me guilty of any sin?

There is one who demands it, and he also judges. -43.8.51 I tell you the solemn truth, if anyone obeys my teaching, he will never see death.” -43.8.52 Then the Judeans responded, “Now we know you’re possessed by a demon! Both Abraham and the prophets died, and yet you say, ‘If anyone obeys my teaching, he will never experience death.’ -43.8.53 You aren’t greater than our father Abraham who died, are you?

If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I obey his teaching. -43.8.56 Your father Abraham was overjoyed to see my day, and he saw it and was glad.” -43.8.57 Then the Judeans replied, “You are not yet fifty years old!

He smeared the mud on the blind man’s eyes -43.9.7 and said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated “sent”). So the blind man went away and washed, and came back seeing. -43.9.8 Then the neighbors and the people who had seen him previously as a beggar began saying, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” -43.9.9 Some people said, “This is the man!” while others said, “No, but he looks like him.” The man himself kept insisting, “I am the one!” -43.9.10 So they asked him, “How then were you made to see?” -43.9.11 He replied, “The man called Jesus made mud, smeared it on my eyes and told me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and was able to see.” -43.9.12 They said to him, “Where is that man?” He replied, “I don’t know.” +43.9.5 "As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.""" +43.9.6 Having said this, he spat on the ground and made some mud with the saliva.

He replied, ""I don't know.""" 43.9.13 They brought the man who used to be blind to the Pharisees. 43.9.14 (Now the day on which Jesus made the mud and caused him to see was a Sabbath.) -43.9.15 So the Pharisees asked him again how he had gained his sight. He replied, “He put mud on my eyes and I washed, and now I am able to see.” -43.9.16 Then some of the Pharisees began to say, “This man is not from God, because he does not observe the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such miraculous signs?” Thus there was a division among them. -43.9.17 So again they asked the man who used to be blind, “What do you say about him, since he caused you to see?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied. +43.9.15 "So the Pharisees asked him again how he had gained his sight.

Then how does he now see?” -43.9.20 So his parents replied, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. -43.9.21 But we do not know how he is now able to see, nor do we know who caused him to see.

For this man is performing many miraculous signs. -43.11.48 If we allow him to go on in this way, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our sanctuary and our nation.” -43.11.49 Then one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said, “You know nothing at all! -43.11.50 You do not realize that it is more to your advantage to have one man die for the people than for the whole nation to perish.” +43.11.47 "So the chief priests and the Pharisees called the council together and said, ""What are we doing?

Martha was serving, and Lazarus was among those present at the table with him. 43.12.3 Then Mary took three quarters of a pound of expensive aromatic oil from pure nard and anointed the feet of Jesus. She then wiped his feet dry with her hair. (Now the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfumed oil.) 43.12.4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was going to betray him) said, -43.12.5 “Why wasn’t this oil sold for 300 silver coins and the money given to the poor?” +43.12.5 """Why wasn't this oil sold for 300 silver coins and the money given to the poor?""" 43.12.6 (Now Judas said this not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief.

So they took Jesus, -43.19.17 and carrying his own cross he went out to the place called “The Place of the Skull” (called in Aramaic Golgotha ). +43.19.17 "and carrying his own cross he went out to the place called ""The Place of the Skull"" (called in Aramaic Golgotha)." 43.19.18 There they crucified him along with two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle. -43.19.19 Pilate also had a notice written and fastened to the cross, which read: “Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews.” +43.19.19 "Pilate also had a notice written and fastened to the cross, which read: ""Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews.""" 43.19.20 Thus many of the Jewish residents of Jerusalem read this notice, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the notice was written in Aramaic, Latin, and Greek. -43.19.21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The king of the Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am king of the Jews.’” -43.19.22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.” +43.19.21 "Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, ""Do not write, 'The king of the Jews,' but rather, 'This man said, I am king of the Jews.'""" +43.19.22 "Pilate answered, ""What I have written, I have written.""" 43.19.23 Now when the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and made four shares, one for each soldier, and the tunic remained. (Now the tunic was seamless, woven from top to bottom as a single piece.) -43.19.24 So the soldiers said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but throw dice to see who will get it.” This took place to fulfill the scripture that says, “ They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they threw dice .” So the soldiers did these things. -43.19.25 Now standing beside Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. -43.19.26 So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, look, here is your son!” -43.19.27 He then said to his disciple, “Look, here is your mother!” From that very time the disciple took her into his own home. -43.19.28 After this Jesus, realizing that by this time everything was completed, said (in order to fulfill the scripture), “I am thirsty!” +43.19.24 "So the soldiers said to one another, ""Let's not tear it, but throw dice to see who will get it.""

Pilate gave him permission, so he went and took the body away. +43.19.36 "For these things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled, ""Not a bone of his will be broken.""" +43.19.37 "And again another scripture says, ""They will look on the one whom they have pierced.""" +43.19.38 After this, Joseph of Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus (but secretly, because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he went and took the body away. 43.19.39 Nicodemus, the man who had previously come to Jesus at night, accompanied Joseph, carrying a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about seventy-five pounds. -43.19.40 Then they took Jesus’ body and wrapped it, with the aromatic spices, in strips of linen cloth according to Jewish burial customs. +43.19.40 Then they took Jesus' body and wrapped it, with the aromatic spices, in strips of linen cloth according to Jewish burial customs. 43.19.41 Now at the place where Jesus was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden was a new tomb where no one had yet been buried. -43.19.42 And so, because it was the Jewish day of preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus’ body there. +43.19.42 And so, because it was the Jewish day of preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus' body there. 43.20.1 Now very early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been moved away from the entrance. -43.20.2 So she went running to Simon Peter and the other disciple whom Jesus loved and told them, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!” +43.20.2 "So she went running to Simon Peter and the other disciple whom Jesus loved and told them, ""They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!""" 43.20.3 Then Peter and the other disciple set out to go to the tomb. 43.20.4 The two were running together, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and reached the tomb first. 43.20.5 He bent down and saw the strips of linen cloth lying there, but he did not go in. 43.20.6 Then Simon Peter, who had been following him, arrived and went right into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen cloth lying there, -43.20.7 and the face cloth, which had been around Jesus’ head, not lying with the strips of linen cloth but rolled up in a place by itself. +43.20.7 and the face cloth, which had been around Jesus' head, not lying with the strips of linen cloth but rolled up in a place by itself. 43.20.8 Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, came in, and he saw and believed. 43.20.9 (For they did not yet understand the scripture that Jesus must rise from the dead.) 43.20.10 So the disciples went back to their homes. 43.20.11 But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. As she wept, she bent down and looked into the tomb. -43.20.12 And she saw two angels in white sitting where Jesus’ body had been lying, one at the head and one at the feet. -43.20.13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” Mary replied, “They have taken my Lord away, and I do not know where they have put him!” +43.20.12 And she saw two angels in white sitting where Jesus' body had been lying, one at the head and one at the feet. +43.20.13 "They said to her, ""Woman, why are you weeping?""

Who are you looking for?” Because she thought he was the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him.” -43.20.16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “ Rabboni ” (which means Teacher). -43.20.17 Jesus replied, “Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father. Go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” -43.20.18 Mary Magdalene came and informed the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what Jesus had said to her. -43.20.19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the disciples had gathered together and locked the doors of the place because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders.

Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. -43.20.21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. Just as the Father has sent me, I also send you.” -43.20.22 And after he said this, he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. -43.20.23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven; if you retain anyone’s sins, they are retained.” +43.20.21 "So Jesus said to them again, ""Peace be with you.

Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” -43.20.27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and examine my hands. Extend your hand and put it into my side. Do not continue in your unbelief, but believe.” -43.20.28 Thomas replied to him, “My Lord and my God!” -43.20.29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me?

Blessed are the people who have not seen and yet have believed.""" 43.20.30 Now Jesus performed many other miraculous signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 43.20.31 But these are recorded so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. 43.21.1 After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. Now this is how he did so. 43.21.2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael (who was from Cana in Galilee), the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples of his were together. -43.21.3 Simon Peter told them, “I am going fishing.” “We will go with you,” they replied. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. +43.21.3 "Simon Peter told them, ""I am going fishing."" ""We will go with you,"" they replied. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing." 43.21.4 When it was already very early morning, Jesus stood on the beach, but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. -43.21.5 So Jesus said to them, “Children, you don’t have any fish, do you?” They replied, “No.” -43.21.6 He told them, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they threw the net, and were not able to pull it in because of the large number of fish. -43.21.7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” So Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, tucked in his outer garment (for he had nothing on underneath it), and plunged into the sea. +43.21.5 "So Jesus said to them, ""Children, you don't have any fish, do you?"" They replied, ""No.""" +43.21.6 "He told them, ""Throw your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.""

So Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, tucked in his outer garment (for he had nothing on underneath it), and plunged into the sea." 43.21.8 Meanwhile the other disciples came with the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards. 43.21.9 When they got out on the beach, they saw a charcoal fire ready with a fish placed on it, and bread. -43.21.10 Jesus said, “Bring some of the fish you have just now caught.” +43.21.10 "Jesus said, ""Bring some of the fish you have just now caught.""" 43.21.11 So Simon Peter went aboard and pulled the net to shore. It was full of large fish, 153, but although there were so many, the net was not torn. -43.21.12 “Come, have breakfast,” Jesus said. But none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they knew it was the Lord. +43.21.12 """Come, have breakfast,"" Jesus said. But none of the disciples dared to ask him, ""Who are you?"" because they knew it was the Lord." 43.21.13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. 43.21.14 This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead. -43.21.15 Then when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these do?” He replied, “Yes, Lord, you know I love you.” Jesus told him, “Feed my lambs.” -43.21.16 Jesus said a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He replied, “Yes, Lord, you know I love you.” Jesus told him, “Shepherd my sheep.” -43.21.17 Jesus said a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was distressed that Jesus asked him a third time, “Do you love me?” and said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus replied, “Feed my sheep. -43.21.18 I tell you the solemn truth, when you were young, you tied your clothes around you and went wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and others will tie you up and bring you where you do not want to go.” -43.21.19 (Now Jesus said this to indicate clearly by what kind of death Peter was going to glorify God.) After he said this, Jesus told Peter, “Follow me.” -43.21.20 Peter turned around and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them. (This was the disciple who had leaned back against Jesus’ chest at the meal and asked, “Lord, who is the one who is going to betray you?”) -43.21.21 So when Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, “Lord, what about him?” -43.21.22 Jesus replied, “If I want him to live until I come back, what concern is that of yours? You follow me!” -43.21.23 So the saying circulated among the brothers and sisters that this disciple was not going to die. But Jesus did not say to him that he was not going to die, but rather, “If I want him to live until I come back, what concern is that of yours?” +43.21.15 "Then when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ""Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these do?""

If every one of them were written down, I suppose the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written. 44.1.1 I wrote the former account, Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do and teach 44.1.2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after he had given orders by the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 44.1.3 To the same apostles also, after his suffering, he presented himself alive with many convincing proofs. He was seen by them over a forty-day period and spoke about matters concerning the kingdom of God. -44.1.4 While he was with them, he declared, “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait there for what my Father promised, which you heard about from me. -44.1.5 For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” -44.1.6 So when they had gathered together, they began to ask him, “Lord, is this the time when you are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” -44.1.7 He told them, “You are not permitted to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority. -44.1.8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest parts of the earth.” +44.1.4 "While he was with them, he declared, ""Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait there for what my Father promised, which you heard about from me." +44.1.5 "For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.""" +44.1.6 "So when they had gathered together, they began to ask him, ""Lord, is this the time when you are restoring the kingdom to Israel?""" +44.1.7 "He told them, ""You are not permitted to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority." +44.1.8 "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest parts of the earth.""" 44.1.9 After he had said this, while they were watching, he was lifted up and a cloud hid him from their sight. 44.1.10 As they were still staring into the sky while he was going, suddenly two men in white clothing stood near them -44.1.11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking up into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will come back in the same way you saw him go into heaven.” -44.1.12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called the Mount of Olives (which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away). +44.1.11 "and said, ""Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking up into the sky?

Peter and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James were there. 44.1.14 All these continued together in prayer with one mind, together with the women, along with Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers. 44.1.15 In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a gathering of about 120 people) and said, -44.1.16 “Brothers, the scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit foretold through David concerning Judas—who became the guide for those who arrested Jesus— -44.1.17 for he was counted as one of us and received a share in this ministry.” +44.1.16 """Brothers, the scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit foretold through David concerning Judas—who became the guide for those who arrested Jesus—" +44.1.17 "for he was counted as one of us and received a share in this ministry.""" 44.1.18 (Now this man Judas acquired a field with the reward of his unjust deed, and falling headfirst he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out. -44.1.19 This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so that in their own language they called that field Hakeldama , that is, “Field of Blood.”) -44.1.20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘ Let his house become deserted, and let there be no one to live in it ,’ and ‘ Let another take his position of responsibility .’ +44.1.19 "This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so that in their own language they called that field Hakeldama, that is, ""Field of Blood."")" +44.1.20 """For it is written in the book of Psalms, 'Let his house become deserted, and let there be no one to live in it,' and 'Let another take his position of responsibility.'" 44.1.21 Thus one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time the Lord Jesus associated with us, -44.1.22 beginning from his baptism by John until the day he was taken up from us—one of these must become a witness of his resurrection together with us.” +44.1.22 "beginning from his baptism by John until the day he was taken up from us—one of these must become a witness of his resurrection together with us.""" 44.1.23 So they proposed two candidates: Joseph called Barsabbas (also called Justus) and Matthias. -44.1.24 Then they prayed, “Lord, you know the hearts of all.

Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus and released them. 44.5.41 So they left the council rejoicing because they had been considered worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name. 44.5.42 And every day both in the temple courts and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus was the Christ. 44.6.1 Now in those days, when the disciples were growing in number, a complaint arose on the part of the Greek-speaking Jews against the native Hebraic Jews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. -44.6.2 So the twelve called the whole group of the disciples together and said, “It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to wait on tables. +44.6.2 "So the twelve called the whole group of the disciples together and said, ""It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to wait on tables." 44.6.3 But carefully select from among you, brothers, seven men who are well-attested, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may put in charge of this necessary task. -44.6.4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” +44.6.4 "But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.""" 44.6.5 The proposal pleased the entire group, so they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a Gentile convert to Judaism from Antioch. 44.6.6 They stood these men before the apostles, who prayed and placed their hands on them. 44.6.7 The word of God continued to spread, the number of disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly, and a large group of priests became obedient to the faith. 44.6.8 Now Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and miraculous signs among the people. 44.6.9 But some men from the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), both Cyrenians and Alexandrians, as well as some from Cilicia and the province of Asia, stood up and argued with Stephen. 44.6.10 Yet they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke. -44.6.11 Then they secretly instigated some men to say, “We have heard this man speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.” +44.6.11 "Then they secretly instigated some men to say, ""We have heard this man speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.""" 44.6.12 They incited the people, the elders, and the experts in the law; then they approached Stephen, seized him, and brought him before the council. -44.6.13 They brought forward false witnesses who said, “This man does not stop saying things against this holy place and the law. -44.6.14 For we have heard him saying that Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us.” +44.6.13 "They brought forward false witnesses who said, ""This man does not stop saying things against this holy place and the law." +44.6.14 "For we have heard him saying that Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us.""" 44.6.15 All who were sitting in the council looked intently at Stephen and saw his face was like the face of an angel. -44.7.1 Then the high priest said, “Are these things true?” -44.7.2 So he replied, “Brothers and fathers, listen to me.

But God was with him, 44.7.10 and rescued him from all his troubles, and granted him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him ruler over Egypt and over all his household. 44.7.11 Then a famine occurred throughout Egypt and Canaan, causing great suffering, and our ancestors could not find food. 44.7.12 So when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our ancestors there the first time. -44.7.13 On their second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers again, and Joseph’s family became known to Pharaoh. +44.7.13 On their second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers again, and Joseph's family became known to Pharaoh. 44.7.14 So Joseph sent a message and invited his father Jacob and all his relatives to come, seventy-five people in all. 44.7.15 So Jacob went down to Egypt and died there, along with our ancestors, 44.7.16 and their bones were later moved to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a certain sum of money from the sons of Hamor in Shechem. -44.7.17 “But as the time drew near for God to fulfill the promise he had declared to Abraham, the people increased greatly in number in Egypt, -44.7.18 until another king who did not know about Joseph ruled over Egypt . +44.7.17 """But as the time drew near for God to fulfill the promise he had declared to Abraham, the people increased greatly in number in Egypt," +44.7.18 until another king who did not know about Joseph ruled over Egypt. 44.7.19 This was the one who exploited our people and was cruel to our ancestors, forcing them to abandon their infants so they would die. -44.7.20 At that time Moses was born, and he was beautiful to God.

Now how does he say, Out of Shomayim I have come down. 43.6.43 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach answered and said to them, Do not grumble among yourselves. -43.6.44 No one is able to come to me unless HaAv Who sent me should draw him, and I will raise him up on the Yom HaAcharon.

If anyone eats of this lechem he will live l'olam v'ed. And, indeed, the lechem which I will give on behalf of the Chayyim (life) of HaOlam is the basar of me. 43.6.52 Therefore, those of Yehudah were arguing with one another, saying, How is this man able to give us the basar of him to eat? -43.6.53 Therefore, he said to them, Omein, omein, I say to you, unless you eat the [Seudas Moshiach Seh] basar of the Ben HaAdam and drink [the Kiddush Cup of the Brit Chadasha in] his dahm, you do not have Chayyim (Life) in yourselves [ ; ]. -43.6.54 The one feeding on my [ Seh Elohim ] basar and drinking [ Cup of Redemption in ] dahmi has Chayyei Olam and I will raise him up on the Yom HaAcharon [ , ]. +43.6.53 Therefore, he said to them, Omein, omein, I say to you, unless you eat the [Seudas Moshiach Seh] basar of the Ben HaAdam and drink [the Kiddush Cup of the Brit Chadasha in] his dahm, you do not have Chayyim (Life) in yourselves. +43.6.54 The one feeding on my [Seh Elohim] basar and drinking [Cup of Redemption in] dahmi has Chayyei Olam and I will raise him up on the Yom HaAcharon. 43.6.55 For my basar is okhel emes (true food) and dahmi is shikuy emes (true drink). -43.6.56 The one feeding on my basar and drinking dahmi abides in, [ ; ] dwells in me and I in him [ ]. +43.6.56 The one feeding on my basar and drinking dahmi abides in, dwells in me and I in him. 43.6.57 As HaAv HaChai sent me and I live because of HaAv, so also whoever is feeding on me even that one will live because of me. -43.6.58 This is the lechem out of Shomayim having come down, not as the Avot ate and died; the one feeding on this lechem will live l’olam v’ed. -43.6.59 These things he said in a shul while teaching in K’far-Nachum. -43.6.60 Therefore, many of Moshiach’s talmidim, having heard, said, Hard is this dvar Torah. Who is able to hear it? [ ] -43.6.61 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having da’as in himself that his talmidim are grumbling about this, said to them, Does this cause a michshol for you? +43.6.58 This is the lechem out of Shomayim having come down, not as the Avot ate and died; the one feeding on this lechem will live l'olam v'ed. +43.6.59 These things he said in a shul while teaching in K'far-Nachum. +43.6.60 Therefore, many of Moshiach's talmidim, having heard, said, Hard is this dvar Torah. Who is able to hear it? +43.6.61 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having da'as in himself that his talmidim are grumbling about this, said to them, Does this cause a michshol for you? 43.6.62 What if you behold the Ben HaAdam ascending where he was Bereshis? 43.6.63 The Ruach Hakodesh is that which is making alive, the basar does not profit anything. The dvarim which I have spoken to you are as Ruach and they are as Chayyim (Life). -43.6.64 But there are of you some who do not have emunah. For from Bereshis, he had da’as of whom are the ones not having emunah and who is the one betraying him. +43.6.64 But there are of you some who do not have emunah. For from Bereshis, he had da'as of whom are the ones not having emunah and who is the one betraying him. 43.6.65 And he was saying, Because of this, I have told you that no one is able to come to me unless it has been given to him from HaAv. 43.6.66 From this time, many of his talmidim fell away and no longer followed him as talmidim. 43.6.67 Therefore, he said to the Sheneym Asar, Surely you do not want to depart also? 43.6.68 In reply, Shimon Kefa said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, to whom will we go? You have the divrei haChayyei Olam. -43.6.69 And we have bitachon and have trusted with emunah and we have da’as that you are HaKadosh of Hashem (the Holy One of G-d, ). +43.6.69 And we have bitachon and have trusted with emunah and we have da'as that you are HaKadosh of Hashem (the Holy One of G-d). 43.6.70 In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Did I not choose you Sheneym Asar (Twelve)? And is one of you not a Satan? -43.6.71 Now he was speaking of Yehudah Ben Shimon from K’riot, for, though he was one of the Sheneym Asar, this one was about to betray Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. +43.6.71 Now he was speaking of Yehudah Ben Shimon from K'riot, for, though he was one of the Sheneym Asar, this one was about to betray Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. 43.7.1 And after these things Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach itinerated in the Galil, for he was not wanting to move about in Yehudah, because those of Yehudah were seeking to kill him. -43.7.2 Now the Chag of Sukkot was near. [ ; ] -43.7.3 His achim then said to him, Leave here and go away into the land of Yehudah, that also your talmidim will see your ma’asim which you do. +43.7.2 Now the Chag of Sukkot was near. +43.7.3 His achim then said to him, Leave here and go away into the land of Yehudah, that also your talmidim will see your ma'asim which you do. 43.7.4 For no one who seeks public notice does anything besod (secretly). If these things you do, then manifest yourself to HaOlam. -43.7.5 For not even the achim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach were believing in him.

I am not going up to this Chag (Feast), because my time has not yet been fulfilled. 43.7.9 And having said these things, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach remained in the Galil. -43.7.10 But when the achim of him made aliyah leregel to the Chag (Feast), then also Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went up [ ] not publicly but besod (secretly). +43.7.10 But when the achim of him made aliyah leregel to the Chag (Feast), then also Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went up not publicly but besod (secretly). 43.7.11 Then those of Yehudah were seeking Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach in the Chag (Feast) and were saying, Where is that man? 43.7.12 And there was much telunnah (murmuring) about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach among the multitudes. Some were saying, He is tov (good), but others were saying, Lo (no), he deceives the multitude. 43.7.13 No one, however, was speaking openly about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach because of the fear of those of Yehudah. 43.7.14 But around the middle period of the Chag (Feast), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went up to the Beis Hamikdash and was saying shiurim (teaching torah). -43.7.15 Therefore, those of Yehudah were marveling, saying, How has this man binah (understanding) of a Yeshiva yode’a sefer (scholar), not having learned? +43.7.15 Therefore, those of Yehudah were marveling, saying, How has this man binah (understanding) of a Yeshiva yode'a sefer (scholar), not having learned? 43.7.16 Therefore, in reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, My Torah (teaching) is not mine but of the One having sent me. -43.7.17 If anyone wants to do the ratzon Hashem, he will have da’as about my Torah, whether it is of Hashem or I speak only from myself.

None of you is able to be shomer chukkat Torah. Why are you seeking to kill me? 43.7.20 The multitude said, You have a shed (demon). Who is seeking to kill you? -43.7.21 In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Of the Pe’ulot of Hashem, I accomplished echad, one pe’ulah, and everyone marvels. -43.7.22 Moshe has given you bris milah not that bris milah is of Moshe, but it is of the Avot, and on a Shabbos you perpetually perform bris milah.

Perhaps the manhigim (the gedolim of Judaism) have da’as that this man is the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach? -43.7.27 But this man, we have da’as where he is from; but the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, whenever he comes, no one has da’as where he is from. -43.7.28 Therefore, in the Beis Hamikdash while teaching, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach cried out, saying, You have da’as of me, and you have da’as of where I am from. I have not come on my own, but the One Who sent me is ne’eman. He is the One of Whom you do not have da’as. -43.7.29 I have da’as of Him, because from Him Ani Hu, and He is the One Who sent me. -43.7.30 Therefore, they were seeking to arrest him, and no one laid a hand on him, because his sha’ah (hour, time) had not yet come. +43.7.26 And, hinei, he speaks publicly and they say nothing to him.

Kefa says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, you wash my feet? -43.13.7 In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Of what I am doing you do not have da’as now, but you will receive binah after these things. -43.13.8 Kefa says to him, Never will you wash my feet l’Olam!

Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach answered him, Unless I wash you, you do not have a chelek [alloted portion of inheritance] with me. 43.13.9 Shimon Kefa says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, then not my feet only but also my hands and my head. 43.13.10 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, The one having been bathed does not have need except his feet to wash, but is wholly tahor, and you are tehorim, though not all. -43.13.11 For Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had da’as of the one betraying him. Therefore, he said, Not all are tehorim. -43.13.12 Therefore, when he washed their feet and resuited himself into his kaftan, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach reclined at tish again and said to them, Do you have da’as of what I have done for you? +43.13.11 For Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had da'as of the one betraying him.

Having dipped, therefore, he takes the [ maror, charoset, matzah ] morsel and gives to Yehuda Ben Shimon from K’riot. -43.13.27 And after he received the [ maror, charoset, matzah ] morsel, then Hasatan entered into that man; therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, What you are bent on doing, do quickly. -43.13.28 But no one reclining at tish had da’as of why he said this to him. -43.13.29 For some were thinking vi-bahlt (since) Yehuda from K’riot had the aron otzaram (chest of treasury), that he says to him, Buy the things which we need for the Chag (Feast) or that he should give ma’ot chittim (money for wheat financial contributions) for haAniyim (the poor). +43.13.26 He answers, That one it is to whom I will dip the [maror into the charoset] morsel and will give to him. Having dipped, therefore, he takes the [maror, charoset, matzah] morsel and gives to Yehuda Ben Shimon from K'riot. +43.13.27 And after he received the [maror, charoset, matzah] morsel, then Hasatan entered into that man; therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, What you are bent on doing, do quickly. +43.13.28 But no one reclining at tish had da'as of why he said this to him. +43.13.29 For some were thinking vi-bahlt (since) Yehuda from K'riot had the aron otzaram (chest of treasury), that he says to him, Buy the things which we need for the Chag (Feast) or that he should give ma'ot chittim (money for wheat financial contributions) for haAniyim (the poor). 43.13.30 Therefore, having taken the morsel, that man went out immediately. And it was lailah (night). -43.13.31 When, therefore that man went out, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says, Now the Ben HaAdam [ ] receives kavod and Hashem is given kavod in him. +43.13.31 When, therefore that man went out, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says, Now the Ben HaAdam receives kavod and Hashem is given kavod in him. 43.13.32 If Hashem receives kavod in him, Hashem will also give him kavod in himself, and Hashem will give him kavod immediately. 43.13.33 Yeladim, yet a little while I am with you; you will seek me, and as I said to those of Yehudah, Where I go away, you are not able to come. Also to you I say this now. -43.13.34 A mitzvah chadasha I give to you, that you have ahavah (agape) one for the other, as I have had ahavah (agape) for you, so also you have ahavah (agape) one for the another.

In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach answered him, Where I go, you are not able now to follow me, but you will follow later. 43.13.37 Kefa says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, why am I not able to follow you now?

[ ; ] +46.4.17 Because of this very thing, I sent Timotiyos to you who is my beni haahuv (beloved son) and ne'eman (faithful), trustworthy in Hashem, who will remind you of my derech baKodesh in Moshiach, even as I give shiurim everywhere in every kehillah. +46.4.18 Now as to my coming to you, some were puffed up, +46.4.19 But I will come shortly to you, im yirtzeh Hashem (if the L-rd wills), and I will find out not the speech of the ones having been puffed up but the ko'ach (power). +46.4.20 For the Malchut Hashem depends not on the talk [of the ish sefatayim (the eloquent speaker)] but on ko'ach (power). +46.4.21 What do you want? That I should come to you, so to speak, with an abba's switch or in ahavah and an anavat ruach (a spirit of meekness)? +46.5.1 Zenut (fornication) is actually reported among you, and such zenut which is not even among the Goyim, that one of you Corinthians has the isha (wife) of his abba. +46.5.2 And you have been puffed up with ga'avah (pride). Should you not rather have been filled with agmat nefesh (grief), so that he who has done this would have been taken away from among you? +46.5.3 For I indeed being not present in habasar but being not absent in the Ruach Hakodesh have already, as being present, pronounced the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach's Bet Din mishpat on the one who has done such a thing. +46.5.4 In the name of Adoneinu Yehoshua, when you have assembled in your shul and I am with you by the same Ruach Hakodesh along with the gevurat Adoneinu Yehoshua, +46.5.5 You are to transmit and hand over to Hasatan such a person for the churban of the basar (3:16-17), that his neshamah may be spared in the Yom Hashem (MALACHI 3:19). +46.5.6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not have da'as that a little chametz all the mixture leavens? +46.5.7 Purge out the old chametz (leavened bread), that you may be issa chadasha (new dough, batzek, deaf dough, having no indication of fermentation), as you are indeed like matzot (unleavened bread). More than that, our Korban Pesach has been sacrificed, Moshiach. +46.5.8 So let us celebrate Pesach, not with old chametz, nor with the chametz of kavvanah ra'ah (malice) and wickedness, but with matzot of kenut (sincerity) and emes. 46.5.9 I wrote to you in the iggeret not to mix with those engaging in acts of zenut (fornication), -46.5.10 Not meaning to completely disassociate from the zannayim of the Olam Hazeh or those guilty of chamdanut (greed) and the ones practicing hona’ah (swindling) or those guilty of avodah zarah (idol worship), als (since) in that case you would have to exit the Olam Hazeh. -46.5.11 But, now I wrote to you not to mix with any “Ach b’Moshiach” who is a zannay (fornicator) or a kamtzan (miser) or an oved elilim (idolater) or a megadef (reviler) or a shikkor (drunkard) or a shoded (robber); with such a man do not sit at tish (table), do not share betzi’at halechem (breaking of bread). +46.5.10 Not meaning to completely disassociate from the zannayim of the Olam Hazeh or those guilty of chamdanut (greed) and the ones practicing hona'ah (swindling) or those guilty of avodah zarah (idol worship), als (since) in that case you would have to exit the Olam Hazeh. +46.5.11 "But, now I wrote to you not to mix with any ""Ach b'Moshiach"" who is a zannay (fornicator) or a kamtzan (miser) or an oved elilim (idolater) or a megadef (reviler) or a shikkor (drunkard) or a shoded (robber); with such a man do not sit at tish (table), do not share betzi'at halechem (breaking of bread)." 46.5.12 For what is it to me to sit as a dayan in the Bet Din and then judge ones outside the kehillah?

Is there not among you even one chacham (wise man) who will be able to sit in mishpat between his Achim b’Moshiach? -46.6.6 But an Ach b’Moshiach takes another Ach b’Moshiach to court, and this before the courtroom of Apikorosim (Unbelievers)? +46.6.5 I speak to your bushah (shame).

Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be cheated? -46.6.8 But you yourselves do wrong and practice hona’ah (cheating), and this to your Achim b’Moshiach. -46.6.9 Or do you not have da’as that the resha’im (unrighteous ones) will not inherit the Malchut Hashem?

Here he speaks of three.] +52.1.1 From Sha'ul and Silvanus (Sila) and Timotiyos. To the kehillah of the inhabitants of the city of Thessalonika, the kehillah in Hashem, in Elohim HaAv and in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua. Chen v'Chesed Hashem and Shalom Hashem to you. +52.1.2 Hodinu l'Hashem (We give thanks to Hashem) always for all of you, with zikaron (remembrance) during our davening, without ceasing 52.1.3 In our tefillos recalling before our G-d and Avinu your work of emunah, your labor of ahavah (agape), and your perseverance of tikvah in Moshiach Adoneinu Yeshoshua, -52.1.4 Knowing, Achim b’Moshiach ahuvei Hashem (Brothers in Moshiach beloved of G-d), your bechirah (election). -52.1.5 For our Besuras HaGeulah did not come to you in mere locution but indeed in gevurah (miraculous power) and in the Ruach HaKodesh and in full bitachon (confidence), just as you have da’as what sort of men we were among you for your sake. +52.1.4 Knowing, Achim b'Moshiach ahuvei Hashem (Brothers in Moshiach beloved of G-d), your bechirah (election). +52.1.5 For our Besuras HaGeulah did not come to you in mere locution but indeed in gevurah (miraculous power) and in the Ruach HaKodesh and in full bitachon (confidence), just as you have da'as what sort of men we were among you for your sake. 52.1.6 And you became imitators of us and of Adoneinu, having received the Dvar Hashem (the Word of the L-rd) in much redifah (persecution) with the simcha of the Ruach HaKodesh, -52.1.7 With the result that you became a mofet (portent), even a role model for all the ma’aminim (believers) in the territory of Macedonia [ T.N. a Roman province in northern Greece ] and in Achaia [ T.N. a Roman province of southern Greece ]. +52.1.7 With the result that you became a mofet (portent), even a role model for all the ma'aminim (believers) in the territory of Macedonia [T.N. a Roman province in northern Greece] and in Achaia [T.N. a Roman province of southern Greece]. 52.1.8 For from you the Dvar Hashem has resounded not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but also in every place to which your emunah in Hashem has gone forth, with the result that we have no need to say anything. -52.1.9 For they themselves (the ma’aminim b’Moshiach in Macedonia and Achaia) are reporting about us, what sort of initial reception we had with you, and how you made teshuva, turning to Hashem from elilim (idols), from avodah zarah (idol worship), turning to worship the Elohim Chayyim and Elohei Emes (the Living G-d and the True G-d), +52.1.9 For they themselves (the ma'aminim b'Moshiach in Macedonia and Achaia) are reporting about us, what sort of initial reception we had with you, and how you made teshuva, turning to Hashem from elilim (idols), from avodah zarah (idol worship), turning to worship the Elohim Chayyim and Elohei Emes (the Living G-d and the True G-d), 52.1.10 And to expect [Moshiach] Ben Elohim from Shomayim whom Hashem made to stand up in the Techiyas HaMoshiach from the Mesim Yehoshua Moshieynu (our Deliverer) from the Charon Af HaBah (the wrath to come). -52.2.1 But you yourselves know, Chaverim b’Moshiach, that our initial reception with you was not empty of result. -52.2.2 On the contrary, having suffered before and having been shamefully persecuted (as you know) in Philippi, we had the chozek b’Eloheinu (strength in our G-d) to speak to you the Besuras HaGeulah of Hashem in the face of tzorrim rabbim (great and oppressive enemy opposition). -52.2.3 For our appeal, our eidus (witness of testimony), does not spring from toyus (error) or meshuga delusion or from tum’a (uncleanness) or from remiyah (guile, deceit). +52.2.1 But you yourselves know, Chaverim b'Moshiach, that our initial reception with you was not empty of result. +52.2.2 On the contrary, having suffered before and having been shamefully persecuted (as you know) in Philippi, we had the chozek b'Eloheinu (strength in our G-d) to speak to you the Besuras HaGeulah of Hashem in the face of tzorrim rabbim (great and oppressive enemy opposition). +52.2.3 For our appeal, our eidus (witness of testimony), does not spring from toyus (error) or meshuga delusion or from tum'a (uncleanness) or from remiyah (guile, deceit). 52.2.4 On the contrary, in this way we speak: as persons examined and approved by G-d to be entrusted with the Besuras HaGeulah of Hashem, as striving to please not men but Hashem who tests, who examines, our levavot. 52.2.5 Nor did we ever come with divrei chanuppah (words of flattery), as you know, nor with pretext for chamdanut (greed)‖Der Oybershter is mine eidus! (G-d is my witness!) 52.2.6 Nor seeking kavod from men, neither from you nor from others. 52.2.7 Even though we had the samchut [authority] to be able to throw our weight around as Shlichim (Emissaries) of Moshiach, yet we became anav (humble) and eidel (gentle) among you, as a nursing imma (mother) might take care of her own yeladim. 52.2.8 Thus having a tshuka (yearning) for you, it was our good pleasure to share with you not only the Besuras HaGeulah of Hashem, but also our very lives, because you became beloved chaverim to us. -52.2.9 For remember, Achim b’Moshiach, our labor and toil yomam valailah working for the purpose of not weighing down any one of you while we maggidim [for Moshiach] made the Hachrazah (Proclamation, Kerygma) to you of the Besuras HaGeulah of Hashem. -52.2.10 You were edim (witnesses) and so is Hashem, with what kedushah and tzedek and tamim manner of shomer masoret we acted toward you ma’aminim b’Moshiach, +52.2.9 For remember, Achim b'Moshiach, our labor and toil yomam valailah working for the purpose of not weighing down any one of you while we maggidim [for Moshiach] made the Hachrazah (Proclamation, Kerygma) to you of the Besuras HaGeulah of Hashem. +52.2.10 You were edim (witnesses) and so is Hashem, with what kedushah and tzedek and tamim manner of shomer masoret we acted toward you ma'aminim b'Moshiach, 52.2.11 For you know how we treated you, as an abba treats his own yeladim, 52.2.12 Exhorting you with divrei chizzuk and comforting you, addressing you with solemn edut (testimony) that you let your derech (way of life), your hitnahagut (conduct), be to fier zich (comport oneself) in a manner worthy of Hashem, who summons you to His own Malchut and Kavod. -52.2.13 And for this reason also we constantly offer hodayah to Hashem that when you received (as “Ani Maamin” authoritative teaching) the Dvar Hashem, the Word of Hachrazah (Proclamation, Kerygma) from us, you received it not as the dvar HaBnei Adam but, as it actually is, the Dvar Hashem, which also is at work in you who have emunah. +52.2.13 "And for this reason also we constantly offer hodayah to Hashem that when you received (as ""Ani Maamin"" authoritative teaching) the Dvar Hashem, the Word of Hachrazah (Proclamation, Kerygma) from us, you received it not as the dvar HaBnei Adam but, as it actually is, the Dvar Hashem, which also is at work in you who have emunah." 52.2.14 For you became imitators, Chaverim, of the kehillot Hashem in Moshiach Yehoshua which are in Yehudah, because you also were similarly persecuted by your own landslait, just as also they were by the ones in Yehudah, -52.2.15 Even the ones who caused the histalkus of [Moshiach] Adoneinu Yehoshua and killed the Nevi’im and persecuted us [Shlichim] severely. Indeed, they are not pleasing Hashem and are hostile to kol Bnei Adam, -52.2.16 By hindering us from speaking to the Goyim in order that the Goyim might find Yeshu’at Eloheinu. Thus they always make complete their peysha’im. So the charon af, the burning wrath, the furious retribution of Hashem has overtaken them at last. -52.2.17 But you, Achim b’Moshiach, while we were separated from you for a short time (panim el panim, not b’lev), we made all the more effort in much desire to see your penemer (faces). -52.2.18 For we wanted to come to you. Indeed I, [Rav] Sha’ul, did again and again; but Hasatan hindered us. +52.2.15 Even the ones who caused the histalkus of [Moshiach] Adoneinu Yehoshua and killed the Nevi'im and persecuted us [Shlichim] severely. Indeed, they are not pleasing Hashem and are hostile to kol Bnei Adam, +52.2.16 By hindering us from speaking to the Goyim in order that the Goyim might find Yeshu'at Eloheinu. Thus they always make complete their peysha'im. So the charon af, the burning wrath, the furious retribution of Hashem has overtaken them at last. +52.2.17 But you, Achim b'Moshiach, while we were separated from you for a short time (panim el panim, not b'lev), we made all the more effort in much desire to see your penemer (faces). +52.2.18 For we wanted to come to you. Indeed I, [Rav] Sha'ul, did again and again; but Hasatan hindered us. 52.2.19 For who is our tikvah or simcha or crown to glory in before Adoneinu Yehoshua at His Parousia, at the Bias Moshiach‖is it not you? 52.2.20 For you are our kavod and simcha. 52.3.1 Therefore, when we could no longer endure it, we resolved to be left behind alone in Athens. -52.3.2 Also we sent Timotiyos, acheinu and fellow po’el of Hashem in the Besuras HaGeulah of Moshiach. We sent Timotiyos in order to give you chozek (strength) and to speak divrei chizzuk to you on behalf of our [orthodox Jewish] Emunah [of the true Dat haYehudit]. -52.3.3 This was for the tachlis that no one be unsettled because of ES TZARAH. For you yourselves have da’as that we have a divine calendar date with ES TZARAH. -52.3.4 For, hinei, when we were with you, we kept telling you beforehand that we were going to suffer redifah, just as also it came to pass, of which you have da’as. -52.3.5 For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent in order to know your emunah, lest somehow [Hasatan Samma’el] the Tempter [HaMenasseh] had ensnared you by nissayon and our labor should be for nothing. +52.3.2 Also we sent Timotiyos, acheinu and fellow po'el of Hashem in the Besuras HaGeulah of Moshiach. We sent Timotiyos in order to give you chozek (strength) and to speak divrei chizzuk to you on behalf of our [orthodox Jewish] Emunah [of the true Dat haYehudit]. +52.3.3 This was for the tachlis that no one be unsettled because of ES TZARAH. For you yourselves have da'as that we have a divine calendar date with ES TZARAH. +52.3.4 For, hinei, when we were with you, we kept telling you beforehand that we were going to suffer redifah, just as also it came to pass, of which you have da'as. +52.3.5 For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent in order to know your emunah, lest somehow [Hasatan Samma'el] the Tempter [HaMenasseh] had ensnared you by nissayon and our labor should be for nothing. 52.3.6 But, just now, when Timotiyos has come to us from you and has brought us good news of your [correct orthodox Jewish] Emunah and your ahavah and that you always have zochrim tovim (good memories) of us, yearning to see us, just as we yearn to see you. -52.3.7 For this reason, Achim b’Moshiach, in all our tzoros and redifah, we received chozek because of you through your emunah. -52.3.8 For now we have Chayyim if you have a firm standing and remain ne’emanot (faithful) in Hashem. +52.3.7 For this reason, Achim b'Moshiach, in all our tzoros and redifah, we received chozek because of you through your emunah. +52.3.8 For now we have Chayyim if you have a firm standing and remain ne'emanot (faithful) in Hashem. 52.3.9 For what hodayah are we able to return to Hashem concerning you because of all the simcha with which we rejoice on account of you before Eloheinu, 52.3.10 As, yomam valailah, we are davening with all retzinut (earnestness) in order to see your penemer (faces) and to bring to shleimut what is lacking in your [orthodox Jewish] emunah? 52.3.11 And may Eloheinu and Avinu, may Hashem Himself and Adoneinu Yehoshua direct our way to you. 52.3.12 And may Hashem cause you to grow and to overflow and abound in ahavah (agape) for one another and for kol Bnei Adam, just as also we have ahavah (agape) for you, -52.3.13 With this tachlis (purpose): to establish your levavot faultless in kedushah (holiness) in the presence of Hashem and Avinu at the Bi’as Moshiach (Coming of Moshiach) of Adoneinu Yehoshua with all His Kadoshim. Omein. -52.4.1 Lemaskana (finally), Achim b’Moshiach, we ask and exhort you in Adoneinu Yehoshua, in order that, just as from us (Moshiach’s Shlichim) you received (as authoritative halachic tradition, as the Messianic teaching to be followed) how it is necessary for you to be fier zich (comport oneself) in your derech (way of life) and to please Hashem (just as you in fact are doing), so you should abound more and more. -52.4.2 For you have da’as what mitzvot (commandments) we gave you through [Moshiach] Adoneinu Yehoshua. +52.3.13 With this tachlis (purpose): to establish your levavot faultless in kedushah (holiness) in the presence of Hashem and Avinu at the Bi'as Moshiach (Coming of Moshiach) of Adoneinu Yehoshua with all His Kadoshim. Omein. +52.4.1 Lemaskana (finally), Achim b'Moshiach, we ask and exhort you in Adoneinu Yehoshua, in order that, just as from us (Moshiach's Shlichim) you received (as authoritative halachic tradition, as the Messianic teaching to be followed) how it is necessary for you to be fier zich (comport oneself) in your derech (way of life) and to please Hashem (just as you in fact are doing), so you should abound more and more. +52.4.2 For you have da'as what mitzvot (commandments) we gave you through [Moshiach] Adoneinu Yehoshua. 52.4.3 For this is the ratzon Hashem (the will of G-d), your kedushah (holiness), your consecration, that you abstain from zenut (fornication), -52.4.4 That each one of you [as Kadoshim] have da’as of how to control your own k’li (vessel) in kedushah and kavod, -52.4.5 Not in the passion of ta’avah (evil desire, lust) like Goyim who do not have da’as of Hashem; -52.4.6 That no man commit peysha and take advantage of one of his Achim b’Moshiach in this [ sexual ] matter, because Hashem is the Nokem (Avenger) concerning all these things, just as also we told you before and warned you. -52.4.7 For [as far as our bechirah (election) is concerned], Hashem did not summon us for tu’ma (uncleanness) but in kedushah (holiness). +52.4.4 That each one of you [as Kadoshim] have da'as of how to control your own k'li (vessel) in kedushah and kavod, +52.4.5 Not in the passion of ta'avah (evil desire, lust) like Goyim who do not have da'as of Hashem; +52.4.6 That no man commit peysha and take advantage of one of his Achim b'Moshiach in this [sexual] matter, because Hashem is the Nokem (Avenger) concerning all these things, just as also we told you before and warned you. +52.4.7 For [as far as our bechirah (election) is concerned], Hashem did not summon us for tu'ma (uncleanness) but in kedushah (holiness). 52.4.8 Therefore, the one rejecting this mitzvah (commandment) does not reject Bnei Adam but Hashem who gives to you His Ruach Hakodesh. 52.4.9 Concerning the matter of ahavah shel achvah (brotherly love), you have no need that we write you, for you yourselves are limudei Elohim (taught of G-d) to have ahavah (agape) one for another. -52.4.10 For indeed this you do toward all the Achim b’Moshiach in all of Macedonia. But in this we exhort you, Chaverim, to abound more and more. +52.4.10 For indeed this you do toward all the Achim b'Moshiach in all of Macedonia. But in this we exhort you, Chaverim, to abound more and more. 52.4.11 And have as your ambition to lead a quiet life of shalom bayis, and to mind your own business, and to have a parnasah, working with your own hands, according to the mitzvot (commandments) we gave you. 52.4.12 The tachlis (purpose) is that the way you fier zich (comport oneself) in your derech (way of life) be conducted properly toward outsiders and that you might not be nitzrach (needy). -52.4.13 "We do not want you to lack da’as, Chaverim, concerning those who have ""fallen asleep."" The purpose is that you not have agmat nefesh (grief) like the rest, who do not have tikvah (hope)." -52.4.14 For, if we have an Ani Ma’amin belief that Yehoshua had his histalkus and then stood up alive again in the Techiyas HaMoshiach from HaMesim, even so, Hashem will bring with him [ Moshiach ] those who have fallen asleep through Yehoshua. -52.4.15 For this we say to you by the Dvar Hashem, that we who are alive and have been left behind until the Bi’as (Coming, Parousia of) Moshiach Adoneinu, may in no way be kodem (preceding) those who have fallen asleep. +52.4.13 "We do not want you to lack da'as, Chaverim, concerning those who have ""fallen asleep."" The purpose is that you not have agmat nefesh (grief) like the rest, who do not have tikvah (hope)." +52.4.14 For, if we have an Ani Ma'amin belief that Yehoshua had his histalkus and then stood up alive again in the Techiyas HaMoshiach from HaMesim, even so, Hashem will bring with him [Moshiach] those who have fallen asleep through Yehoshua. +52.4.15 For this we say to you by the Dvar Hashem, that we who are alive and have been left behind until the Bi'as (Coming, Parousia of) Moshiach Adoneinu, may in no way be kodem (preceding) those who have fallen asleep. 52.4.16 For Adoneinu Himself, at the signal, at the bat kol of the Sar HaMalachim (the Archangel), and at the shofar blast of Hashem, shall come down from Shomayim, and the Mesim in Moshiach shall stand up alive in the Techiyas HaMesim first. -52.4.17 Then [ next in sequence ], we who are alive and who have been left behind simultaneously with them shall be snatched up in the ananim (clouds) to meet Adoneinu in the air. And so always with Adoneinu we shall be. +52.4.17 Then [next in sequence], we who are alive and who have been left behind simultaneously with them shall be snatched up in the ananim (clouds) to meet Adoneinu in the air. And so always with Adoneinu we shall be. 52.4.18 Therefore, give chozek (strength) and speak divrei chizzuk (words of encouragement), comforting one another with these words. 52.5.1 But concerning the ittim (times) and the zmanim (seasons), Chaverim, you have no need for you to have anything in writing. 52.5.2 For you yourselves know very well that the Yom Hashem comes like a ganav balailah (thief in the night). 52.5.3 "Whenever they say, ""Shalom and Bitachon!"" then sudden churban (destruction) will come upon them like the chevlei leydah (birth pangs) of the isha with a baby in her womb. And they can certainly not escape." -52.5.4 But you, Achim b’Moshiach, are not in choshech that the Yom should overtake you like a ganav. +52.5.4 But you, Achim b'Moshiach, are not in choshech that the Yom should overtake you like a ganav. 52.5.5 For all of you are Bnei Ohr and Bnei Yom; we are not of the Lailah nor of the Choshech. -52.5.6 "Therefore, let us not ""sleep"" as the rest, but let us keep awake with zililut da’as (sober-mindedness)." +52.5.6 "Therefore, let us not ""sleep"" as the rest, but let us keep awake with zililut da'as (sober-mindedness)." 52.5.7 For the ones sleeping sleep balailah, and the ones indulging in shichrut (drunkenness) indulge in shichrut balailah. -52.5.8 But we, being Bnei Yom, let us be bnei zililut da’as (sons of sober-mindedness), having clothed ourselves with the choshen (breastplate) of emunah and ahavah (agape) and as a KOVAH (helmet, ) the tikvah of Yeshu’at Eloheynu. -52.5.9 Because Hashem did not appoint us to charon af (the burning wrath) but to the attainment of Yeshu’at Eloheinu through Adoneinu, Moshiach Yehoshua. +52.5.8 But we, being Bnei Yom, let us be bnei zililut da'as (sons of sober-mindedness), having clothed ourselves with the choshen (breastplate) of emunah and ahavah (agape) and as a KOVAH (helmet) the tikvah of Yeshu'at Eloheynu. +52.5.9 Because Hashem did not appoint us to charon af (the burning wrath) but to the attainment of Yeshu'at Eloheinu through Adoneinu, Moshiach Yehoshua. 52.5.10 He is the one who made his histalkus and died on our behalf in order that whether we are [living] and awake or [passed away] and sleeping, we may live together with Moshiach. 52.5.11 Therefore, give chozek (strength) and encouragement, building up one another, as indeed you are doing. -52.5.12 Now we ask you, Achim b’Moshiach, to have discerning binah (understanding) and discern the ones laboring among you who are your Mashgichim Ruchaniyim (Spiritual Overseers) in Adoneinu. I’m referring to the ones who admonish and warn you. +52.5.12 Now we ask you, Achim b'Moshiach, to have discerning binah (understanding) and discern the ones laboring among you who are your Mashgichim Ruchaniyim (Spiritual Overseers) in Adoneinu. I'm referring to the ones who admonish and warn you. 52.5.13 And esteem them most exceedingly in ahavah (agape), because of their avodas kodesh work. Let there be shalom bayis (family peace) also in the kehillah. -52.5.14 And we exhort you, Achim b’Moshiach, warn the batlanim (unemployed or lazy loafers, idlers), comfort the congregant who is pachdan (fainthearted), those who are weak take an interest in, have zitzfleisch (patience) with all. -52.5.15 See that no one returns ra’ah for ra’ah, but always pursue haTov both for one another and for all. +52.5.14 And we exhort you, Achim b'Moshiach, warn the batlanim (unemployed or lazy loafers, idlers), comfort the congregant who is pachdan (fainthearted), those who are weak take an interest in, have zitzfleisch (patience) with all. +52.5.15 See that no one returns ra'ah for ra'ah, but always pursue haTov both for one another and for all. 52.5.16 Have simcha always. 52.5.17 Daven unceasingly. 52.5.18 In everything offer hodayah, for this is the ratzon Hashem in Moshiach Yehoshua for you. 52.5.19 Do not quench the Ruach Hakodesh. -52.5.20 Do not reject nevu’ot (prophecies). +52.5.20 Do not reject nevu'ot (prophecies). 52.5.21 But test kol davar (everything); hold fast to haTov. -52.5.22 Abstain from every appearance of ra’ah (evil). -52.5.23 And now Elohei HaShalom wholly set you apart as Kadoshim and may your whole ruach and nefesh and basar be preserved without blame at the Bi’as HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua. -52.5.24 Ne’eman (Faithful) is the One who summons you to your kri’ah (calling). He will do it. -52.5.25 Achim b’Moshiach, offer tefillos also concerning us. -52.5.26 Say Drishat Shalom to all the Achim b’Moshiach with a neshikat kedoshah. -52.5.27 By Adoneinu, I solemnly give you the directive that this iggeret hakodesh has to be read to all the Achim b’Moshiach. -52.5.28 The Chen v’Chesed of Adoneinu, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, be with you. -53.1.1 From Sha’ul and Silvanus (Sila) and Timotiyos. To the Kehillah of the inhabitants of the city of Thessalonika, the Kehillah in Hashem, in Elohim Avinu and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu, -53.1.2 Chen v’Chesed Hashem to you and Shalom from Elohim Avinu and Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu. -53.1.3 With continuous hodayah (thanksgiving) we ought to make brachot to Hashem concerning you, Achim b’Moshiach, as is fitting, because your emunah is increasing abundantly and the ahavah (agape) every one of you has for the other is growing. +52.5.22 Abstain from every appearance of ra'ah (evil). +52.5.23 And now Elohei HaShalom wholly set you apart as Kadoshim and may your whole ruach and nefesh and basar be preserved without blame at the Bi'as HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua. +52.5.24 Ne'eman (Faithful) is the One who summons you to your kri'ah (calling).

that are really almanot. 54.5.4 But if any almanah has banim or bnei banim, let the banim or bnei banim learn first to show yirat Shomayim vis-a-vis their own bais and to render recompense to the horim (parents), for this is acceptable in the sight of Hashem. 54.5.5 Now the true almanah, left alone, has set her tikvah on Hashem and continues in her techinnah [2:1] and her tefillos yomam

Chesed Hashem, Rachamim Hashem and Shalom Hashem from Elohim Avinu and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu. 55.1.3 Modeh Ani (I give thanks) to Hashem whom I offer avodas hakodesh service with a clear matzpun—as did the Avot of me—when I remember you constantly in my tefillos. 55.1.4 As I remember your weeping, I want to see you, that I may be filled with simcha. -55.1.5 I remember your genuine emunah [ in Moshiach ], which dwelt first in Lois your savtah (grandmother, bobe) and in your Em, Eunice, and I have been persuaded dwells also in you. -55.1.6 For which reason I remind you to meorer (rekindle) the matnat Elohim, (the gift of Hashem) which is in you through my conferring of s’michah (ordination). [ ] +55.1.5 I remember your genuine emunah [in Moshiach], which dwelt first in Lois your savtah (grandmother, bobe) and in your Em, Eunice, and I have been persuaded dwells also in you. +55.1.6 For which reason I remind you to meorer (rekindle) the matnat Elohim, (the gift of Hashem) which is in you through my conferring of s'michah (ordination). 55.1.7 For Hashem did not bestow upon us a ruach of pachad (terror), but of gevurah (miraculous power) and of ahavah (love) and of sound havchanah (judgment). -55.1.8 Do not, therefore, be ashamed of the eidus of Adoneinu nor of me, his asir (prisoner), but suffer together with me for the Besuras HaGeulah in the ko’ach of Hashem, -55.1.9 The one having granted us Yeshu’at Eloheinu and having called us with a kri’ah kedoshah (holy calling), not according to the ma’asim mitzvot of us but according to his own tachlis (purpose) and chesed having been given to us in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua before Yamim HaOlam, +55.1.8 Do not, therefore, be ashamed of the eidus of Adoneinu nor of me, his asir (prisoner), but suffer together with me for the Besuras HaGeulah in the ko'ach of Hashem, +55.1.9 The one having granted us Yeshu'at Eloheinu and having called us with a kri'ah kedoshah (holy calling), not according to the ma'asim mitzvot of us but according to his own tachlis (purpose) and chesed having been given to us in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua before Yamim HaOlam, 55.1.10 But having been manifested now through the appearing of Moshieynu Moshiach Yehoshua, who nullified death [i.e., his own histalkus and Mavet itself] and also brought Chayyim and al-killayon (incorruptibility) to light through the Besuras HaGeulah, 55.1.11 For which I was appointed a karoz (herald), a maggid (darshan, preacher), a Shliach and a rabbi (teacher). -55.1.12 It is because of these things also that I suffer. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and I have been persuaded that He is able to stand shomer, guarding [preserving] until HaYom HaHu the [ orthodox Jewish, see ] pikkadon (deposit) entrusted to Him by me. +55.1.12 It is because of these things also that I suffer. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and I have been persuaded that He is able to stand shomer, guarding [preserving] until HaYom HaHu the [orthodox Jewish, see] pikkadon (deposit) entrusted to Him by me. 55.1.13 Follow the pattern of sound orthodox Jewish devarim which you heard from me, in emunah and ahavah in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua. 55.1.14 Stand shomer over the orthodox Jewish pikkadon entrusted to you through the Ruach Hakodesh dwelling in us. -55.1.15 Of this you have da’as: all the ones in Asia, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes, turned away from me. +55.1.15 Of this you have da'as: all the ones in Asia, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes, turned away from me. 55.1.16 May Hashem grant rachamim to the bais of Onesiphorus, because often he refreshed me and he was not ashamed of my sharsherot. 55.1.17 For, when he was in Rome, he sought me with zerizut and found me. 55.1.18 May Adoneinu grant to him to find rachamim from Hashem in HaYom HaHu. [1:12]. Also, while in Ephesus in how many ways he did avodas hakodesh you know very well. -55.2.1 You, therefore, beni, be empowered in the Chen v’Chesed which is in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua. -55.2.2 And what things you heard from me through edim rabbim, these things commit to anashim ne’emanim (faithful men) of zrizus (reliability) who will be qualified rabbinic morim to teach others also. +55.2.1 You, therefore, beni, be empowered in the Chen v'Chesed which is in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua. +55.2.2 And what things you heard from me through edim rabbim, these things commit to anashim ne'emanim (faithful men) of zrizus (reliability) who will be qualified rabbinic morim to teach others also. 55.2.3 Take your place in suffering as a chaiyal tov (good soldier) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua. 55.2.4 No one on duty as a chaiyal is entangled with the everyday chiloni (secular) affairs of inactive duty, in order that he may please the One who has enlisted him. 55.2.5 And no participant in an athletic tacharut (competition) is crowned unless he competes according to the rules. -55.2.6 It is the hard working ikkar (farmer) who ought to have the rishonah mipri ha’adamah (the first share from the harvest of the earth). +55.2.6 It is the hard working ikkar (farmer) who ought to have the rishonah mipri ha'adamah (the first share from the harvest of the earth). 55.2.7 Let your hitbonenut be on what I say, for Hashem will give to you binah in all things. 55.2.8 Remember Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, of the zera Dovid, and remember the Techiyas HaMoshiach, according to my Besuras HaGeulah, -55.2.9 For which I suffer as if I were an evil-doer, even to the point of the bais hasohar’s bonds, but the Dvar Hashem has no bonds. -55.2.10 Therefore, I endure all things for the sake of the Bechirim (the Chosen ones), in order that they also may obtain the Yeshu’at HaEloheinu in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua with kavod olamim. -55.2.11 Trustworthy is Hashem, for if we died [ to the Olam Hazeh ] with Him, also we will live [ in the Olam Habah ] with Him. +55.2.9 For which I suffer as if I were an evil-doer, even to the point of the bais hasohar's bonds, but the Dvar Hashem has no bonds. +55.2.10 Therefore, I endure all things for the sake of the Bechirim (the Chosen ones), in order that they also may obtain the Yeshu'at HaEloheinu in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua with kavod olamim. +55.2.11 Trustworthy is Hashem, for if we died [to the Olam Hazeh] with Him, also we will live [in the Olam Habah] with Him. 55.2.12 If we endure, we also will reign with Him; if we will deny Him, He also will deny us. -55.2.13 If we are not ne’emanim (faithful), He remains ne’eman (faithful), for to deny Himself, He is not able. +55.2.13 If we are not ne'emanim (faithful), He remains ne'eman (faithful), for to deny Himself, He is not able. 55.2.14 Remind them of these things, solemnly warning them in the presence of Hashem not to be engaged in disputes over devarim, which is not beneficial, but only ruins the hearers. -55.2.15 Do your best to shtel zich (apply yourself), to present yourself to Hashem as one approved, a po’el (workman) without bushah (shame), keeping on a derech yashar the Dvar HaEmes. +55.2.15 Do your best to shtel zich (apply yourself), to present yourself to Hashem as one approved, a po'el (workman) without bushah (shame), keeping on a derech yashar the Dvar HaEmes. 55.2.16 But profane chatter bereft of kedushah, avoid, for such will advance that which is frai (irreligious). 55.2.17 Their lashon hora will spread like gangrene, as in the case of Hymenaeus and Philetus, 55.2.18 Who concerning HaEmes missed the mark, teaching that the Techiyas HaMesim has already occurred. They are overthrowing the emunah of some. -55.2.19 "Al kol panim (nevertheless), the solid yesod of Hashem stands firm and zicher (certain), having this seal: V’YODA’ Hashem ES ASHER LO (""Hashem KNOWS THE ONES WHO ARE HIS"" ); and let everyone who names the name of Hashem depart from avel (iniquity, gross injustice)." -55.2.20 In a bais gadol, there are not only k’lei (vessels) of gold and silver but also those wooden ones and earthen ones: some, for honorable use; others, for dishonorable use. -55.2.21 If anyone makes himself tahor from these things he will be a k’li vessel for honorable use, having been set aside as kodesh, useful to HaAdon, ready for every ma’aseh tov. -55.2.22 But flee from the ta’avot hane’urim (lusts of youth ) and pursue tzedek, emunah, ahavah, and shalom with the ones calling on Adoneinu out of a lev tahor. -55.2.23 But speculations characterized by narrishkait and lacking da’as—such refuse, knowing that they produce fights. -55.2.24 And an eved Hashem ought not be a Ba’al Machlokes (quarrelsome person), but ought to be eidel (gentle, courteous) to all, a skilled rabbinic moreh, savlan (patient), -55.2.25 Correcting the mitnaggedim (opponents) in anavat ruach (a spirit of meekness), in the tikvah that Hashem may efsher (perhaps) grant them teshuva, resulting in da’as HaEmes, +55.2.19 "Al kol panim (nevertheless), the solid yesod of Hashem stands firm and zicher (certain), having this seal: V'YODA' Hashem ES ASHER LO (""Hashem KNOWS THE ONES WHO ARE HIS""); and let everyone who names the name of Hashem depart from avel (iniquity, gross injustice)." +55.2.20 In a bais gadol, there are not only k'lei (vessels) of gold and silver but also those wooden ones and earthen ones: some, for honorable use; others, for dishonorable use. +55.2.21 If anyone makes himself tahor from these things he will be a k'li vessel for honorable use, having been set aside as kodesh, useful to HaAdon, ready for every ma'aseh tov. +55.2.22 But flee from the ta'avot hane'urim (lusts of youth) and pursue tzedek, emunah, ahavah, and shalom with the ones calling on Adoneinu out of a lev tahor. +55.2.23 But speculations characterized by narrishkait and lacking da'as—such refuse, knowing that they produce fights. +55.2.24 And an eved Hashem ought not be a Ba'al Machlokes (quarrelsome person), but ought to be eidel (gentle, courteous) to all, a skilled rabbinic moreh, savlan (patient), +55.2.25 Correcting the mitnaggedim (opponents) in anavat ruach (a spirit of meekness), in the tikvah that Hashem may efsher (perhaps) grant them teshuva, resulting in da'as HaEmes, 55.2.26 And that they may come to their senses, escaping the pakh (trap) of Hasatan, after having been captured by him to do his will. -55.3.1 But of this have da’as, that in the acharit hayamim there will be terrible times, -55.3.2 For Bnei Adam will be in love with self, ohavei kesef (lovers of money), ga’avtanim (proud boasters), speakers of lashon hora, disobedient to horim (parents), without hakarat todah (gratitude), without kedushah, -55.3.3 Without ahavah, unforgiving and irreconcilable, without shlitah atzmi (self-control), bestial, son’ei HaTov (haters of the Good), -55.3.4 Treacherous, reckless, conceited, ohavei ta’anugot (lovers of pleasures) rather than ohavei Hashem, -55.3.5 Having an outward form of chasidus but the ko’ach having denied.

They believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation. 42.8.14 What fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life; and they bring no fruit to maturity. 42.8.15 Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance. -42.8.16 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light. +42.8.16 """No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light." 42.8.17 For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light. -42.8.18 Be careful therefore how you hear.

Then he allowed them. 42.8.33 The demons came out of the man and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned. 42.8.34 When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. -42.8.35 People went out to see what had happened.

Then he entered into the boat and returned. 42.8.38 But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, -42.8.39 “Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you.” He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him. +42.8.39 """Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you.""

He fell down at Jesus' feet and begged him to come into his house, 42.8.42 for he had an only born daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him. 42.8.43 A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians and could not be healed by any, 42.8.44 came behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak. Immediately the flow of her blood stopped. -42.8.45 Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ” -42.8.46 But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me.” +42.8.45 "Jesus said, ""Who touched me?""

Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.” -42.8.49 While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t trouble the Teacher.” -42.8.50 But Jesus hearing it, answered him, “Don’t be afraid.

Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. -43.4.51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!” -43.4.52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.” -43.4.53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house. +43.4.48 "Jesus therefore said to him, ""Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.""" +43.4.49 "The nobleman said to him, ""Sir, come down before my child dies.""" +43.4.50 "Jesus said to him, ""Go your way. Your son lives."" The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way." +43.4.51 "As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying ""Your child lives!""" +43.4.52 "So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, ""Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.""" +43.4.53 "So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, ""Your son lives."" He believed, as did his whole house." 43.4.54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee. 43.5.1 After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. -43.5.2 Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches. +43.5.2 "Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, ""Bethesda"", having five porches." 43.5.3 In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water; 43.5.4 for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had. 43.5.5 A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years. -43.5.6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to be made well?” -43.5.7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.” -43.5.8 Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.” +43.5.6 "When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, ""Do you want to be made well?""" +43.5.7 "The sick man answered him, ""Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I'm coming, another steps down before me.""" +43.5.8 "Jesus said to him, ""Arise, take up your mat, and walk.""" 43.5.9 Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath. -43.5.10 So the Jews said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.” -43.5.11 He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’ ” -43.5.12 Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat and walk’ ?” -43.5.13 But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place. -43.5.14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.” +43.5.10 "So the Jews said to him who was cured, ""It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.""" +43.5.11 "He answered them, ""He who made me well said to me, 'Take up your mat and walk.'""" +43.5.12 "Then they asked him, ""Who is the man who said to you, 'Take up your mat and walk'?""" +43.5.13 But he who was healed didn't know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place. +43.5.14 "Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, ""Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.""" 43.5.15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. 43.5.16 For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath. -43.5.17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.” +43.5.17 "But Jesus answered them, ""My Father is still working, so I am working, too.""" 43.5.18 For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God. -43.5.19 Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise. +43.5.19 "Jesus therefore answered them, ""Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise." 43.5.20 For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel. 43.5.21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires. 43.5.22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son, -43.5.23 that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him. -43.5.24 “Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. -43.5.25 Most certainly I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God’s voice; and those who hear will live. +43.5.23 that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him. +43.5.24 """Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life." +43.5.25 Most certainly I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those who hear will live. 43.5.26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself. 43.5.27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man. -43.5.28 Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice +43.5.28 Don't marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 43.5.29 and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment. -43.5.30 I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is righteous, because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me. -43.5.31 “If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid. +43.5.30 I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is righteous, because I don't seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me. +43.5.31 """If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid." 43.5.32 It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true. 43.5.33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. 43.5.34 But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved. 43.5.35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 43.5.36 But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me. 43.5.37 The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form. -43.5.38 You don’t have his word living in you, because you don’t believe him whom he sent. -43.5.39 “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me. +43.5.38 You don't have his word living in you, because you don't believe him whom he sent. +43.5.39 """You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me." 43.5.40 Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life. -43.5.41 I don’t receive glory from men. -43.5.42 But I know you, that you don’t have God’s love in yourselves. -43.5.43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you don’t receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. -43.5.44 How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God? -43.5.45 “Don’t think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope. +43.5.41 I don't receive glory from men. +43.5.42 But I know you, that you don't have God's love in yourselves. +43.5.43 I have come in my Father's name, and you don't receive me.

There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope." 43.5.46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me. -43.5.47 But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe my words?” +43.5.47 "But if you don't believe his writings, how will you believe my words?""" 43.6.1 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias. 43.6.2 A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick. 43.6.3 Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples. 43.6.4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. -43.6.5 Jesus therefore, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?” +43.6.5 "Jesus therefore, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, ""Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?""" 43.6.6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. -43.6.7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may receive a little.” -43.6.8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, -43.6.9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?” -43.6.10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. +43.6.7 "Philip answered him, ""Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may receive a little.""" +43.6.8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him, +43.6.9 """There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?""" +43.6.10 "Jesus said, ""Have the people sit down."" Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand." 43.6.11 Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down, likewise also of the fish as much as they desired. -43.6.12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost.” +43.6.12 "When they were filled, he said to his disciples, ""Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost.""" 43.6.13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten. -43.6.14 When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, “This is truly the prophet who comes into the world.” +43.6.14 "When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, ""This is truly the prophet who comes into the world.""" 43.6.15 Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself. 43.6.16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea. 43.6.17 They entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them. 43.6.18 The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing. 43.6.19 When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid. -43.6.20 But he said to them, “It is I. Don’t be afraid.” +43.6.20 "But he said to them, ""It is I. Don't be afraid.""" 43.6.21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going. -43.6.22 On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Jesus hadn’t entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone. +43.6.22 On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Jesus hadn't entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone. 43.6.23 However, boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks. -43.6.24 When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn’t there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. -43.6.25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” -43.6.26 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. -43.6.27 Don’t work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.” -43.6.28 They said therefore to him, “What must we do, that we may work the works of God?” -43.6.29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” -43.6.30 They said therefore to him, “What then do you do for a sign, that we may see and believe you? What work do you do? -43.6.31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’” -43.6.32 Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn’t Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven. -43.6.33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.” -43.6.34 They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this bread.” -43.6.35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life.
