1.
The book of the genealogy of Yeshua, the Messiah, the son of David, the
son of Awraham. 2. Aeskhaq fathered Awraham, Yaqub fathered Aeskhaq, Yehuda
fathered Yaqub and his brothers. 3.
Pares fathered Yehuda and Zarakh by Thamar.
Khisron fathered Pares.
4.
Aram fathered Kishron, Amenadab fathered Aram, Nikhshon fathered Amenadab.
5. Salmon fathered Nikhshon. Baz
fathered Salmon by Rakhab, Awbed fathered Baz by Rawth, Aeshe fathered Awbed. 6. Dawed the king. Dawed
fathered Shlemon by the wife of Awrea. 7. Shlemon
fathered Rkhebam, Rkhebam fathered Abea, Abea fathered Asa.
8.
Asa fathered Yahoshapat, Yahoshapat fathered Yoram, Yoram fathered Awazea.
9. Awazea fathered Yotham,
Yotham fathered Akhaz, Akahaz fathered Khizaqea. 10.
Khizaqea fathered Mnashe, Manashe fathered Amon, Amon fathered Yoshea.
11. Yoshea fathered Yokhanea
and his brothers in the captivity of Babel.
12.
And after the captivity now of Babel, Yokhanea fathered Shilathel,
Shilathel fathered Zerubabel. 13. Zerubabel
fathered Awiud, Awiud fathered Eleakem, Eleakem fathered Azor. 14.
Azor fathered Zadoq
Zadoq fathered Akhen, Akhen
fathered Eleud. 15.
Eleud fathered Eleazer, Eleazer fathered Matan, Matan fathered Yaqub.
16. Yaqub fathered Yosip,
the kinsman1 of Maryam, from whom was
born Yeshua, who is called the Messiah.
17. Therefore, all the generations from Awraham until Dawed were
fourteen generations, and from the
captivity of Babel until the Messiah were fourteen generations.
18. Now the birth of Yeshua,
the Me ssiah, was like this. While
Maryam his mother was betrothed to Yosip, without them being united, she was
found pregnant by the Holy Spirit. 19. But Yosip, her husband2,
was just and did not desire to expose her, yet he was thinking in secret
that he would dismiss her.
1.
While he was thinking
these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said to him,
”Yosip, the son of Dawed, do not have fear to take Maryam as your wife, for he
that is begotten in her (is) from the Holy Spirit.
1. Gbra literally means ‘Protective Male.’ It is unclear
whether the text refers to Maryam’s father or to her
husband.
2. Literally, ‘her lord.’
21. And she will bear a son and she will call his name Yeshua,
for he will save his people from their sins.“
22. And this all happened
that it might be fulfilled what was said by the LORD through the prophet,
”Behold, a virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call
his name Ammanuel, which is interpreted ‘our God (is) with us’. “ 24.
When Yosip now rose from his sleep, he did as the angel of the LORD
commanded him, and he took his wife. 25.
And he did not know her until she had given birth to her first born son,
and she called his name Yeshua.
Preaching of Matthew
Chapter 2
1.
And when Yeshua was born in Beth-Lekhem of Yahuda, in the days of Herodus,
the king, Magoshi came from the to Urishlim.
2. And they said, “Where is he who has been born the king of
the Jews? For we saw his star in the East and have come to worship him.”
3. And heard Herodus, the
king, and was troubled. 4. And
he gathered him Urishlim, all of them, chief priests, and scribes, and asking
the people was he to them that “where would be born the Messiah?”
5.
And they answered like this,
“in Beth-Lekhem of Yehuda for it is written
by the prophet,’ 6. And
you Beth-Lekhem of Yehuda you will not be the least of Yehuda.
From you, therefore, will go out a king who will shepherd among the
kings, my people, Israel. 7. Then Herodus, in secret, called to the Magoshi and
learned from them by which time the star appeared to them.
8. And sent them to
Beth-Lekhem and said to them, “go on inquire very carefully (for) the boy, and
when you have found him, come inform me so that I also can go (and) worship him.
9.
And when they heard from the king, they departed, and behold the star
which they saw in the East was going before them until it came and stood from
over where the boy was. 10. And when
they saw the star, they rejoiced (with) very great joy.
11. And they entered the
house and they saw the boy with Maryam, his mother, and they fell (and)
worshipped him, and they opened their treasures and offered to him gifts
(of) gold and myrhh and incense.
12.
And was shown to them in a dream that they should not return to Herodus,
and by a different road they went to their country.
13. And when they went, the angel of the LORD appeared to Yosip
in a dream and said to him,”Arise, take the boy and his mother and flee to
Misrayin and there remain until I tell you.
For Herodus is going to seek the boy as to destroy him. 14. Yosip arose
and took the boy and his mother in the night and fled to Misrayin.
15. That might be fulfilled
the thing that was spoken from the LORD by the prophet which said that,”From
Misrayin I have called my son.”
16.
Then, when Herodus saw that that he was mocked by the Magoshi, he was
very angry and sent (and) killed all the boys of Beth-Lekhem and of all from its
borders two years and under, according to the time that he inquired from the
Magoshi. 17.
Then was fulfilled the thing that was spoken through Aramiyah the prophet
who said. 18
“A voice was heard in Ramtha, great crying and wailing.
Rakhiel crying for her sons and not desiring to be comforted because they
were not.”
19.
And when Herodus, the king, died, the angel of the LORD appeared in a
dream to Yosip in Misrayin 20. And said to
him, “Arise, take the boy and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for
they have died those who were seeking the life of the boy. 21. And Yosip
arose, took the boy and his mother, and came to the land of Israel.
22. And when he heard that
Arkhilius was king in Yehuda in place of Herodus his father, he was afraid to go
there, and (it) was revealed to him in a dream that he should go to the land of
Galeela. 23.
And he came and dwelled in the city that is calledNasrath, so
23. That might might be
fulfilled the thing which was spoken by the prophet that “He will be called a
Nasraya.”
The
Preaching of Matthew
Chapter
3
1. And in those days came Yukhanan the baptizer and would preach in the desert of Yehuda. 2. And said, “Repent (for) near is the kingdom of heaven. 3. It is him for whom it was spoken through Eshaya the prophet, “A voice of one crying in the desert ‘Prepare the way of the LORD and make straight his path.’” 4. Now Yukhanan’s clothes were from the hair of camels, and upon his loins a girdle of skins. And his food was locusts and wild honey.
5. Then
was gone out to him Urishlim and all Yehuda and all lands that surround the
Yordanan and they would be baptized
by him in the Yordanan river when they would confess in their sins. 7. And when (he)
saw the many from the Pharisees and Sadducees that came to be baptized, he said
to them, “Generation of vipers! Who
has informed you to flee from the wrath that will come? 8.
Do therefore the fruits that are worthy of repentance
9. And not you (should) suppose
and (should) say within yourselves that we have Awraham (as our) father.
I say to you that God is able to raise from these rocks sons to Awraham.
10. And behold, the axe is
placed on the root of the trees. All
trees, therefore, that don’t bear good fruit will be cut and thrown in the
fire. 11.
I baptize you with water unto repentance, but he that will come after me
is stronger than me. I am not
worthy to remove his sandals. He
will baptize you by the Holy Spirit and by fire.
12. He whose winnowing fan
is in his hand will cleanse his threshing-floors and will gather unto his
granaries and the chaff he will burn in the fire that does not extinguish.”
Then came Yeshua from Galeela to the Yordanan to Yukhanan .13.
to be baptized by him.
14. But
Yukhanan was refusing him and said, I ought to be baptized by you , and you come
to me. 15.
Then Yeshua answered and said to him Allow (it)
now for as such it is proper for us to fulfill all righteousness, and
then he allowed it. 16.
And when Yeshua was baptized, he arose at once from the water and heaven
was opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God which was descending like a dove
and it came upon him. 17.
Behold, and a voice from heaven that said,”This is my beloved Son in
whom I am pleased.”
The Preaching of Matthew
Chapter
4
1. Then
Yeshua was taken by the Holy Spirit to the desert to be tempted by the accuser.
2. And he fasted forty days
and forty nights and after which he hungered.
And approached he that was tempting and said to him “if you are the son
of God, say to these rocks become bread,” and he answered and said It
is written that the son of man does not live by bread alone, but by all the
words that proceeds from the mouth of God.
5. Then the accuser took him
to the holy city and raised him upon the edge of the temple
6. and said to him, “If
you are the son of God, cast yourself down, for it is written that his angels he
commands concerning you, and upon their hands they will bear you up that your
foot should not strike upon a rock.” 7.
Yeshua said to him Again it is written that you
shall not test the LORD your God. 8.
Again the accuser took him to (a) mountain that (was) very high and
showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, 9. and said to him,
“These all I will give to you if you will fall (and) worship me.”
10. Then Yeshua said to him Leave
enemy, for it is written that you shall worship the LORD your God and Him alone you
shall serve. 11.
Then the accuser left him alone and behold, angels approached and were
ministering to him 12. And when Yeshua heard that Yokhanan was arrested, he
departed to Galeela. 13. And he left Nasrath and came (and) dwelt in Capurnakhum
on the side of the sea by the border of Zebulon and of Naptali., 14.
That might be fulfilled the thing that was spoken through Eshaya the
prophet who said, 15. “The land of Zebulon the land of Naptali (by) the way of
the sea the crossings of the Yordanan Galeela of the nations, 16.
Who sit the people in darkness have seen a great light, and those that
sit in the land and the shadow of death, a light has appeared to them. “ 17.
From then began Yeshua to preach and to say Repent,
for the kingdom of heaven is near. 18.
And when he was walking on the side of the sea of Galeela
he saw two brothers, Simon who was called Keepa, and Andraus his brother
who were casting nets into the sea. For
they were fishermen. 19.
And Yeshua said to them come after me and I will
make you so that you will be fishers of the sons of men.
20. And they left at
once their nets and went after him. 21. And when he
crossed from there he saw two other brothers, Yaqob the son of Zawdee, and
Yokhanan his brother in a boat with Zawdee their father who were fixing their
nets and Yeshua called them. 22.
They left the ship and their father at once and they went after him.
23. Yeshua would preach in
all Galeela and would teach in their assemblies.
And he preached the hope of the kingdom and he healed every disease and
sickness among the people. 24.
And his fame was heard in all Syria.
And approached him all those who were very sick with illnesses and those
various who were oppressed with pain, and possessed, and lunatics, and
paralytics and he healed them. 25.
And a great crowd went after him from Galeela and from the Ten Cities and
from Urishlim and from Yehuda across the Yordanan.
The
Preaching of Matthew
Chapter
5
1.
And when the crowd saw Yeshua, he went up the mountain, and when he sat
his disciples drew near to him. 2.
And he opened his mouth and was teaching them and said,
3. Blessed
are they who are poor in spirit, because theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4.
Blessed
are they who are mourning, because they will be comforted.
5.
Blessed are they who are meek because they will
inherit the earth.
6.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness because they
will be satisfied.
7.
Blessed
are they who are merciful because
mercies will be upon them.
8.
Blessed
are they who are pure in their hearts because they will see God.
9.
Blessed
are they who make peace because they will be called the sons of God.
10.
Blessed are they who are
persecuted because of righteousness because theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11.
Blessed are you whenever they
curse you and they persecute you and they say every evil word about you falsely
because of me.
12. Then rejoice and be
glad because your reward in heaven is great for likewise they persecuted the
prophets who were before you. 13. You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt should become
bland, with what would it become seasoned?
For anything not fit (is) but to be thrown outside and be trodden by man.
14. You are the light of the world. It
is not possible to hide a city that is built on a mountain.
15. They
do not light a lamp and place it under a bushel, but upon a lamp-stand and it
lights upon all those that are in the house.
16. Let
your light shine like this in front of the sons of man that they should see your
works and they glorify good your father who is in heaven. 17. Do not think that I have come to
loosen the law or the prophets, I have not come to loosen but to fulfill.
18. For
truly I say to you that until heaven and earth pass away not one Yodh or one
stroke will pass from the law until everything happens. 19. All
who loosen, therefore, from one (of) these small commandments and teach thus to
the sons of man, will be called little in the kingdom of heaven, but all who do
and teach this will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20. For
I say to you that unless your righteousness exceeds more than that of the
scribes and the Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. 21. You have heard that
it was said to those before, you should not kill and all that kill are condemned
to judgement. 22.
But I say to you that anyone who provokes to
anger his brother without cause, is condemned to judgement and anyone who should
say to his brother, I spit on you, is condemned to the assembly, and anyone who
should say, you are a coward, is condemned to the Gehenna of fire.
23. If
it is therefore that you offer your offering unto the alter and there you should
remember a certain grudge your brother holds against you, 24.
Leave there your offering upon the alter and go
first and reconcile with your brother and thenm come offer your offering.
25. Be
in agreement with your adversary at law while you are with him on the way, lest
your adversary at law deliver you to the judge and the judge deliver you to the
officer and you be thrown into the house of captives.
26. And
truly I say to you that you will not come out from there until you pay the last
coin. 27.
You have heard that it has been said that you
should not commit adultery. 28.
But I say to you that all who that looks at a
woman as lustfully at once has committed adultery in his heart.
29. And
if your right eye stumbles you, pluck it out and cast it from you, for it is
better for you that one of your members should perish and not all of your body
be thrown into Gehenna. 30.
And if your right hand stumbles you, cut it off
and cast it from you for it is better for you that one of your members should
perish and not all of your body be
thrown into Gehenna. 31.
It has been said that he that puts away his wife
shall give to her a writing of divorce. 32.
But I say to you that any who puts away his wife
aside from a case of fornication makes her commit adultery, and he who takes a
divorced woman commits adultery. 33.
Again you have heard that it has been said to
those before that you should not lie in your oath. But complete your oath to the
LORD. 34.
But I say to you you should not say I swear, not
by heaven because that is the throne of God.
35. And
not by the earth because it is the footstool that is benieth his feet, and not
by Urishlim because it is the city of the great king.
36. And
not by your headshould you swear, because you are not able to make in it one
part of the hair black or white. 37.
But your word should be but yes, yes, no and no,
anything more than these is from evil. 38.
You have heard that it has been said that an eye
for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. 39.
But I say to you
that you should not stand against against evil, but who hits you upon the
your right cheek, turn also to him the other.
40. And
he that desires to go to court with you and take your coat, leave to him also
your cloak. 41.
He that compels you to go one mile, go two with
him. 42. He that asks you to give to him and he desires to borrow from you, you
should not deny him. 43. You
have heard that it has been said to love your neighbor and hate your enemy.
44. But
I say to you to love your enemies and bless those that curse you and do that
which is pleasing to those who hate you. And
pray for those that take you by force and persecute you. 45. So
that you may be the sons of your Father who is in heaven.
He that raises His sun upon the good and upon the evil and causes to
descend His rain upon the just and the unjust.
46. For
if you love to those that love you, what reward have you ?
Do not even the publicans do this? 47.
And if you greet in peace only your brothers,
what more are you doing? Do not
even the publicans do this? 48.
You therefore be perfect as your Father in heaven
who is perfect.
The Preaching of Matthew
Chapter
6
1.
And take heed in your almsgiving so that
you should not do it before the sons of men so that you may be seen by them for
otherwise you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2.
Therefore when you do almsgiving you
should not sound a trumpet before you as do the hypocrites in the assemblies and
in the marketplaces so that they be praised by the sons of men and truly I say
to you that they have received their reward.
3.
But whenever you do almsgiving, you
should not reveal what your left hand does to your right hand.
4.
So that your almsgiving might
be in secret and your Father who sees in secret He will reward you in open.
5.
And whenever you pray you
should not be like the hypocrites that love to stand in the assemblies and on
the corners of the marketplaces to pray that they be visible to the sons of men.
And truly I say to you that they have received their reward.
6.
But when you pray enter your inner room and close your door and pray to
your Father who is in secret and your Father who sees in secret He will reward
you in open.
7.
And when you pray, you should not be chatterers like the pagans, for they
hope that by many words they will be heard.
8.
Therefore, do not imitate them for your Father knows what need you have
before you ask Him.
9.
Therefore, you pray like this:
Our
Father in heaven
Hallowed
be thy name
(10)Thy
kingdom come
Thy
will be done
On
earth so as in heaven
(11)Give
us the bread of our need this day
(12)And
forgive us our offences as we also
have
forgiven those who have offended us.
(13)And
not bring us into trial,
but
deliver us from the evil one
for
thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.
14.
For if you forgive men their transgressions, your Father who
is in heaven will also forgive you. 15. But
if you do not forgive men, your Father will also not forgive you your
transgressions.16. And when you
fast, you should not be sad like the hypocrites for they disfigure their
expression so that they may be seen by men that they are fasting.
And truly I say to you that they have received their reward. 17. But
whenever you fast, wash your face and anoint your head. 18. So that you will not
be seen by men that you are fasting, but by your Father who is in secret, and
your Father who sees in secret, He will reward you. 19.
You should not place for yourself treasure on earth where the moth and
rust currupt and where the thieves break in and steal. 20. But you place
treasure in heaven where neither the moth nor the rust corrupt and where
the theives do not break in and they do not steal. 21. For where
your treasure is, that there is also where your heart is also. 22. The eye is
the lamp of the body. If your eye,
therefore, should be pure, also all your body is full of light. 23. But if your
eye should be evil, all your body will be darkness. If therefore, the light that is in you is dark, how much your
darkness will be! 24.
No man is able to serve two masters, for either he will hate one and he
will love the other, or he will honor one and he will treat the other with
contempt. You are not able to serve
God and money, 25. Because of this
I say to you, you should not be anxious about your life, what you will eat and
what you will drink and not about
your body, what you should wear. Is not life1 more than food and the body
than clothing? 26. Behold the
birds in the sky that they do not sow and they do not reap and they do not
gather into storehouses. And you
Father who is in heaven nourishes
them. Are not you more than they?
27. And who among you while anxious is able to add to his sture one cubit? 28.
And about clothing, why are you anxious?
Consider the lilies of the wilderness, how they grow without toil and
without spinning. 29. But I say to
you, not even Shleemon in all his glory was clothed like one of these.
30. And if unto the grass of
the field, that today is and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, God like this
clothes, will he not much more clothe oh you of little faith? 31.
Therefore, do not be anxious or say, What will we eat? Or what will we
drink? Or what will we wear? 32.
For all these things, the peoples those of the world require these
things, and your Father who is in heaven also knows that you require all these
things. 33. But first seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness and
all these things will be added to you. 34.
Therefore, be not anxious about tomorrow for tomorrow is anxious for
itself. Sufficient for the day is its evil.
The Preaching of Matthew
Chapter
7
1. You should not judge
that you be not judged. 2. For
by the judgement that you judge, you will be judged. And by the measure that you
measure, it will be measured to you. 3.
And why do you see the twig that is in the eye of
your brother, and you not observe the beam that is in your eye?
4. Or
how do you say to your brother, Allow me to remove the twig from your eye, and
behold a beam is in your eye? 5.
Hypocrite! First
remove the beam from your eye, and then decide for yourself to remove the twig
from the eye of your brother. 6. You should not
hang earrings on dogs and you should not place your pearls before pigs that they
should not trample them by their feet and they overtake and wound you. 7.
Ask, and it shall be given to you.
Seek, and you shall find. Knock,
and it shall be opened to you. 8.
For anyone that asks will receive, and that
seeks, will find. And to him that
knock, it will be opened to him. 9. Or whom among
you men, if his son asks of him for bread, why to him would hold out a rock?
10. And
if he asks a fish of him, why to him would hold out a snake?
11. And
if, therefore, you who are imperfect know to give good gifts to your sons, how
so much more your Father who is in heaven will give good to those that ask Him. 12.
All that which you desire that the sons of men
should do for you, also like this you do to them.
This is for the law and the prophets.
13. Enter
by the strait door, for wide is the door and broad is the road that leads to
destruction, and many are they, those that go in it. 14.
How narrow the door and strait the road that leads to life, and few are they,
those that find it. 15.
Beware of false prophets that come among you in
the clothing of lambs, but from within are ravenous wolves.
16. But
you will know them by their fruits. Why
do men pick grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?
17. Like
this every good tree bears pleasing fruit, but an evil tree bears evil fruit.
18. A
good tree is not able to bear evil fruit, and an evil tree can not bear good
fruit. 19. Every
tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut and thrown in the fire.
20. Therefore,
by their fruits you will know them. 21.
It will not be that just anyone who says to me “My
lord, my lord.” Will enter the kingdom of heaven, but whoever that does the
will of my Father who is in heaven. 22.
Many will say to me in that day, ”My lord, my
lord. By your name, have we not prophesied? And by you name have we cast out
devils? And by your name have we
done many miracles?”23. And
then I will profess to them that from everlasting, I have not known you.
Depart from me, you workers of iniquity! 24.
Anyone, therefore, who hears my words, these, and does them, will be
likened to a wise man who built his house upon a stone. 25. And
descended the rain, and came the rivers, and blew the winds, and they beat on
the house and it did not fall, for its foundation was laid upon a stone. 26.And
anyone who hears my words, these, and does them not, will be likened to a
foolish man that built his house upon sand. 27.
And descended the rain, and came the rivers, and blew the winds, and they beat
on the house and it fell, and its fall was great. 28.And it happened that
when Yeshua finished these words, the crowds were marvelling at his teaching.
29.He would teach for them as an authority, and not as their scribes and the
Pharisees.
The Preaching of Matthew
Chapter
8
1. And when he descended from the mountain large
crowds followed him. 2. And behold a certain leper came worshipped him and said,
“If you my lord desire, you are
able to make me clean. 3.
And Yeshua streched out his hand and touched him and said. I
desire, be clean. And in
that moment his leprosy was cleansed. 4. And Yeshua said to him, Why look to
telling a man, rather show yourself to the priests and offer the offering as has
commanded Moshe for their testimony. 5.
And when Yeshua entered Capurnakhum, a certain centurion approached him
and was beseeching him, 6. and he said, “My lord, my boy is lying at home and is
paralyzed and seriously in pain. 7.
Yeshua said to him, I
will come and heal him. 8.
The centurion answered and said, “My lord, I am not worthy that you
should enter under my roof, but only say the word, and my boy will be healed.
9. For I am also a man that
is under authority, and there are under my hand soldier, and I say to this one
‘go’ and he goes, and to the other ‘come’ and he comes, and to my
servant to do this, and he does it.” 10. And when
Yeshua heard this, he was amazed and said to those that had come with him, I
say truly to you that not even in Israel have I found faith like this. 11.
And I say to you that many will come from the
East and from the West and will recline with Awraham, Iskhaq, and Yaqob in the
kingdom of heaven, 12.
but the children of the kingdom will be cast into outer darkness .
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13. And Yeshua said to the
centurion, As
you have believed, it will be to you. And
his boy was healed in that moment. 14. And Yeshua came to the house of Shimon and saw his
mother-in-law who was lying down and a fever had seized her.
15. And he touched her hand
and the fever left her, and she arose and was serving him.
16. And when it became
evening, they brought to him many possessed and he cast out their demons by a
word, and all of those that were badly afflicted he healed them.
17. So that might be
fulfilled that which was spoken through Eshaya the prophet who said that, “He
will take our sorrows and our illnesses he will bear.
18. And when Yeshua saw the
many crowds that were surrounding him, he commanded that they depart to the
other side. 19.
And a certain scribe approached him and said to him, “Rabbi, I will
follow after you to wherever you will go. 20.
Yeshua said to him, The foxes they have holes and
the birds of heaven nests, but the son of man has no where he should lay his
head. 21.
And another from his disciples said to him, “My lord, allow me to first
go bury my father.” 22.
But Yeshua said to him, Come follow me and leave
the dead to bury their dead. 23.
And when Yeshua went up into a boat, his disciples went up with him.
24. And behold a great tempest was in the sea so that the ship
was covered by the waves. Now,
Yeshua was asleep, and his disciples approached him, woke him, and said to him,
25. “Deliver us our lord.
We are perishing! 26.
Yeshua said to them, Oh you of little faith! Why
are you fearful? Then he got
up and rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.
27. And the men were amazed
and said, “Who is this that the winds and the sea obey him?” 28.
And when Yeshua came to the other side, to the place of Gadarenes.
Two very evil possessed ones met him who were coming out from the
cemetary, so that no man was able to cross over by that way.
29. And they cried out and
said, “What do we have to do with each other Yeshua, son of God?
Have you come here before the time to torment us?”
30. And there was a distance
from them a large herd of pigs that was feeding. 31. And these
devils were beseeching and said to him, “If
you cast us out, allow us to go to the herd of pigs. 32. Yeshua said
to them go, and at once they went out and entered
into the pigs, and all that herd went straight over a cliff and fell into the
sea, and they died in the sea. 33.
And those who were herding fled and went to the city and revealed
everything that happened, and about those possessed.
34. And out went all the
village to meet with Yeshua, and when they saw him, they beseeched him to depart
from their borders.
The Preaching of Matthew
Chapter

1. And he went up into a ship and crossed over and
came to his city. 2. And they brought to him a paralytic that lay on a pallet. And
Yeshua saw their faith and said to the paralytic, take
heart, my son, your sins are forgiven you. 3. But some of
the scribes said to themselves, “This one blasphemes!” 4. But Yeshua
knew their thoughts and said to them, Why do you think
evil in your heart? 5.
For what is easier to say,
that you are forgiven, or to say arise, walk?
6. But that you know that the son of man has authority
to forgive sins on earth, he
said to that paralytic, Arise, take your pallet and go
to your house. 7.
And he arose and went to his house.
8. And when they saw the
crowds, they were frightened and
they gave glory to God who gives authority such as this to the sons of men.
9. And when Yeshua crossed
over from there he saw a man who sat at the customs-house whose name was Matti,
and he said to him Come follow me.
And he arose and went following him..
10. And when they reclined
in the house, tax-collectors and sinners, and many reclined with Yeshua and with
his disciples. 11.
And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to the disciples “Why your
master dines with sinners and tax-collectors!”
12. But when Yeshua heard,
he said to them, The healthy are not in need of a doctor, rather those that are
badly afflicted. 13.
Go learn what this means: ”I require mercy, and not sacrifice,” for I
came not to call on the righteous, rather on the sinners.
14. Then the
disciples of Yokhanan approached him and said, “Why do we and the Pharisees
fast much, and your disciples, they do not fast ?”
15. Yeshua said to them, Why? The sons of the
wedding-feast are not constrained
to fast as long as the bridegroom is with them, but the days are coming when the
bridegroom will be taken from them, and then they will fast.
16. No
man places a new patch on a wornout garment lest its seam should tear away from
thar garment, and the hole will be greater.
17. And
they do not place new wine in worn-out wineskins lest the wineskins should rip
and the wineskins are destroyed and
the wine should pour out. Rather,
they place new wine in new wineskins, and both of them are preserved.
18. And when he was saying
these things, a certain ruler came to them, approached, worshipped, and said to
him, “My daughter is dead. Only
come place your hand on her, and she will live.
19. And Yeshua
and his disciples arose and
went and followed him. 20.
And behold, a woman that her blood was flowing twelve years came from
behind him and touched the edge of his clothes.
21 For she was saying to herself “If even I touch only his
garment, I will be healed.” 22.
And Yeshua turned around and saw her and said to her, Be
comforted my daughter, your faith has made you alive.
And the woman was healed from that moment.
23. And Yeshua came to the
house of the ruler and saw the wailers and the crowds who were in an uproar,
24. And said to them go
away for the girl is not dead, but is asleep.
And they were laughing at him. 25
And when he dismissed the crowd, he went in, took her by the hand and the
girl arose. 26.
This news went out in all the land.
27. And when Yeshua departed from there, two blind men followed
him crying and saying, “Have mercy on us son of David.” 28. And when he
came to the house, those blind men approached him.
Yeshua said to them, Do you believe that I am
able to do this? They said
to him, “Yes, our lord.” 29.
Then he touched their eyes and said, As you
believed let it be to you. 30. And
at once their eyes were opened and Yeshua admonished them, See
that no man should know! 31.
But they went out and spread his fame in all that country.
32 And when Yeshua went out
they brought a mute to him that had a demon in him.
33. And after the demon went
out, that mute spoke and the crowds were amazed and they said, “Such has never
been seen in Israel before. 34.
But the Pharisees were saying, “He cast out demons by the chief of
demons.” 35.
And Yeshua was going around in all the cities and in the villages and
would teach in their assemblies and would preach the hope of the kingdom, and
would heal all their diseases and all their afflictions.
36. And when Yeshua saw the
crowds, he had compassion on them that were weary and were scattered like sheep
that have not a shepherd. 37
And he said to his disciples The harvest is great
and the workers few. 38.
Beseech, therefore, the lord of the harvest that he should send workers
in his harvest.
The Preaching of Matthew
Chapter
10
1. And he called on his twelve disciples and gave
them authority over unclean spirits, that they may cast them out, and to heal
every affliction and disease. 2.
Now of the twelve apostles, their names are these.
The first is Shimon, who is called keepa, and Andreous his brother, and
Yaqob the son of Zawdee, and Yokhanan his brother, and Pilespo and Bar-Tulmay,
and Lewi who is called Taddi. 4. And Shimon the Canaanite, and Yehuda Skaryota, he that
betrayed him. 5. Yeshua sent these twelve
and commanded them and said, Do not go by the way
of the heathen, and do not enter the cities of the Samaritans.
But you go, rather, to the sheep that are lost from the house of Israel.
7. And
when you go, preach and say that the kingdom of heaven is near. 8. Heal the sick. Cleanse
the lepers. Cast out demons.
Freely you have received, freely give.
9. Do
not accumulate gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
10. Nor
a wallet for the road, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor staff.
A worker is worthy of his food. 11.
And into whatever city or village that you enter, you ask who is worthy
in it, and there stay until you depart. 12.
And when you inter into a house, ask its peace for that house.
13. And
if the house is worthy, your peace
will come upon it, but if is not worthy, your peace will return upon you.
14. And
whoever does not receive you, and does not hear your words, when you depart from
the house, or from that village, shake off the dust from your feet.
15. And
truly I say to you that to the land of Sadom and of Ammorah it will be more
tranquil in the day of judgement than for that city.
16. Behold,
I send you as lambs among wolves. Therefore,
be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
17. And
beware of the sons of men. For they
will deliver you to the house of judgement and in their assemblies they will
scourge you. 18.
And they will take you before kings and governors for my sake, for a testimony of them and
of the gentiles. 19.
And whenever they deliver you up, do not be
concerned how or what you will say. For in that hour, it will be given to you
what you should say. 20. For
it will not be you speaking, rather the spirit of your Father speaking through
you. 21.
And brother will deliver his brother to death,
and a father his son. And children
will rise up against their parents and kill them.
22. And
you will be hated by all men because of my name, but whoever that endures
until the end, he will live.
23. But when they persecute you in this city, you
flee to another. For truly I say to you that you will not complete all the
cities of the house of Israel until the son of man will come.
24. There
is no disciple that is greater than his master, nor a servent his lord.
25. It
is sufficient for a disciple to be like his master, and a servant like his lord.
If the lord of the house they call Beelzebub, how much more the sons of
his house. 26. Therefore,
do not have fear of them, for there is not anything that is covered that will
not be revealed, and that is hidden that will not be known.
27. What
I say to you in darkness, you say it in the light, and what you hear with your
ears, you preach upon the rooftops.
28. And
do not have fear of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul.
Rather, have fear more so of him who is able to destroy the soul and the
body in Gehenna. 29.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny, and not one of them falls to earth
without your Father. 30.
But of you, even all the hairs of your head are numbered.
31. Therefore,
do not be afraid, you are more important than many sparrows.
32. Whoever,
therefore, that confesses me before the sons of men, he also I before my Father
who is in heaven. 33. But
whoever denies me before the sons of men, he will I also deny before my Father
who is in heaven. 34.
Do not think that I have come to bring calm on
earth. I have not come to bring calm, rather a sword.
35. For
I have come to divide a man from his father, and a girl from her mother.
And a daughter-in-law from her mother-in-law. 36. And
the adversaries of a man will be his household.
37. Whoever
loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me.
And whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38. And
anyone that does not take up his cross and come and follow me is not worthy of
me. 39.
Whoever finds his soul will lose it, and whoever
loses his soul for my sake will find it. 40.
Whoever accepts you, accepts me, and whoever that
accepts me, who I send accepts him. 41. Whoever
accepts a prophet in the name of a prophet a reward of a prophet will receive.
And whoever accepts a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, a
reward of a righteous man will receive.
42. And
anyone who gives only a cup of cold water to drink to one of these little ones,
in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you that he will not lose his reward.

1. And it was when that Yeshua finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities. 2. And when Yukhanan heard in the house of prisoners the works of the Messiah, he sent word through his disciples. 3. And said to him, “Are you he who will come, or are we to expect another?” 4.Yeshua answered and said to them, Go relate to Yukhanan that you have heard and have seen. 5. The blind are seeing, and the lame are walking, and the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf are hearing, and the dead are rising, and the poor are given hope. 6. And blessed is he that is not offended in me. 7. And when they left, Yeshua started to speak to the crowds concerning Yukhanan, What did you go out to the wilderness to see? A reed that was shaken by the wind?
