THE HOUSE OF YAHSHUA
The
INTEGRATED GOSPELS
of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
____________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
This Gospel was created in
order to provide students of the Bible with a more accurate “harmony” of the
four Gospels for critical study. A brief
explanation of the basic premise of this work follows.
First let the reader examine
any “harmony of the Gospels” included in his or her Bible. Two things will become obvious at once: there is no regard for the overall
chronology, or time sequence, of the original Gospels; and events which are
similar but not identical are assumed to be the same events. Notice how the harmonist jumps forward or
backward within one Gospel, changing the sequence of chapters and verses as
written by the author. This is an
indication of the unspoken but obvious lack of respect the harmonist has for
the credibility of the four authors of the Gospels.
That same disrespect is also
revealed in the common statement that “the four authors can be compared to four
witnesses to a crime: each seeing the
same things but describing them in different ways.” This is usually said in an effort to resolve
the discrepancies and contradictions between two or accounts of the “same”
event. Rather than disregarding the
authors’ credibility and their given chronologies, shouldn’t we try a different
approach to creating a harmonized Gospel instead?
The purpose of this
integrated Gospel is to show that the four Gospels contain a basic, overall
chronology which becomes evident when we carefully compare them, keeping their
individual internal chronologies intact.
Certain events, called here “landmarks”, have been identified by the
authors of this work as events which can be reasonably assumed to have happened
only once, and which can be used to mark a particular place in time: for example, Yahshua’s baptism, Peter’s
declaration of Yahshua as Messiah, the transfiguration, etc. For an event to be a landmark, it must be
recorded in at least two of the Gospels.
Once these landmarks are established, we can see that if an event occurs
before a landmark in one Gospel, and a similar event occurs after that landmark
in another, then these must be two separate, though similar, events. An examination of the two events will reveal
various major or minor differences which prove that they are indeed separate
events.
Why did Yahshua duplicate so
many of His actions? The best answer to
this question is this: we must remember
that His ministry continued for about three and one-half years. During that time He had a particular message
to impart to the world, and His words and actions were dictated by the Father
(John 7:16, 8:28, 12:49-50, etc.) He
spoke to many different people and went to many different places during that 3½ years, but His words and actions remained
essentially the same. This, of course,
led to many “mirror” events - events similar to each other, but not the same.
In
this Gospel, if an event has been reported by two or more authors with no
contradictions and no intervening landmarks, those reports have been
incorporated into one with as little loss of wording as possible. If there seem to be contradictions or
differences between two similar events, these events are recorded as separate
events. All passages are identified by
the source book(s), chapter(s), and verse(s).
All diligence has been used
not only to prevent the representation of unnecessary “mirrors”, but also to
prevent the unwarranted incorporation of similar but different events into one
passage.
May this Gospel be as great
a blessing to the reader as it has been to the writers.

The
INTEGRATED GOSPELS
of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God. The
same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by Him; and without Him
was not any thing made that was made.
In Him was life; and the life was the light of
mankind.
And the light shineth
in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
There was a man sent from God, whose name
[was] John.
The same came for a witness, to bear witness
of the Light, that all through him might believe.
He was not that Light, but [was sent] to bear
witness of that light. [That] was the true Light, Which lighteth
every one that cometh into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was made by
Him, and the world knew Him not.
He came unto His own, and His own received Him
not.
But as many as received Him, to them gave He
power to become the children of God, [even] to them that believe on His name:
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will
of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among
us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth.
Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set
forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed
among us, even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were
eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
It seemed good to me also, having had perfect
understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order,
most excellent Theophilus, that thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou
hast been instructed.
The book of the generation
of Yahshua the Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob;
and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
And Judas begat Phares
and Zara of Thamar; and Phares
begat Esrom; and Esrom
begat
And
And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab;
and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed
begat Jesse;
And Jesse begat David the king; and David the
king begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Urias;
And Solomon begat Roboam;
and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
And Ezekias begat Manasses;
and Manasses begat Amon;
and Amon begat Josias;
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were
carried away to
And after they were brought to
And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of
whom was born Yahshua, Who is called the Christ.
So all the generations from Abraham to David
[are] fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into
There was in the days of Herod, the king of
And they were both righteous before God,
walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
And they had no child, because that Elisabeth
was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
And it came to pass, that while he executed
the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
According to the custom of the priest's
office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
And the whole multitude of the people were
praying without at the time of incense.
And there appeared unto him an angel of the
Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled,
and fear fell upon him. But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for
thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou
shalt call his name John.
And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many
shall rejoice at his birth. For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and
shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy
Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
And many of the sons of
And he shall go before Him in the spirit and
power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the
disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the
Lord.
And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby
shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
And the angel answering said unto him, I am
Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and
to shew thee these glad tidings.
And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able
to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their
season.
And the people waited for Zacharias, and
marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple. And when he came out, he could
not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple:
for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days
of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
And after those days his wife Elisabeth
conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, Thus hath the Lord dealt with
me in the days wherein He looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was
sent from God unto a city of
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was
Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
And the angel came in unto her, and said,
Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with
thee: blessed art thou among women.
And she was troubled at his saying, and cast
in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto
her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb,
and bring forth a son, and shalt call His name YAHSHUA.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son
of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father
David: And He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of His kingdom
there shall be no end.
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this
be, seeing I know not a man?
And the angel answered and said unto her, The
Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow
thee: therefore also that holy thing Which shall be born of thee shall be
called the Son of God.
And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath
also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who
was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible.
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the
Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
And Mary arose in those days, and went into
the hill country with haste, into a city of
And entered into the house of Zacharias, and
saluted Elisabeth.
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth
heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was
filled with the Holy Spirit:
And she spake out with a loud voice, and said,
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
And whence is this to me, that the mother of my
Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded
in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
And blessed is she that believed: for there
shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
For He hath regarded the low estate of His
handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For He That is mighty hath done to me great
things; and holy is His name.
And His mercy is on them that fear Him from
generation to generation.
He hath shewed strength with His arm; He hath
scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seats,
and exalted them of low degree.
He hath filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich He hath sent empty away.
He hath holpen His
servant
And Mary abode with her about three months,
and returned to her own house.
Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should
be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
And her neighbours and her cousins heard how
the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
And it came to pass, that on the eighth day
they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the
name of his father.
And his mother answered and said, Not so; but
he shall be called John.
And they said unto her, There is none of thy
kindred that is called by this name.
And they made signs to his father, how he
would have him called.
And he asked for a writing table, and wrote,
saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his
tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God.
And fear came on all that dwelt round about
them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country
of
And all they that heard them laid them up in
their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the
Lord was with him.
And his father Zacharias was filled with the
Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for He
hath visited and redeemed His people,
And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of His
servant David;
As He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets,
which have been since the world began: That we should be saved from our
enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
To perform the mercy promised to our fathers,
and to remember His holy covenant; The oath which He sware
to our father Abraham,
That He would grant unto us, that we being
delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve Him without fear, in
holiness and righteousness before Him, all the days of our life.
And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet
of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His
ways;
To give knowledge of salvation unto His people
by the remission of their sins,
Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby
the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
To give light to them that sit in darkness and
in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
And the child grew, and waxed strong in
spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing
unto
Now the birth of Yahshua the Christ was on
this wise: When as His mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came
together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man],
and not willing to make her a publick example, was
minded to put her away privily.
But while he thought on these things, behold,
the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of
David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for That Which is conceived in
her is of the Holy Spirit.
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou
shalt call His name YAHSHUA: for He shall save His people from their sins.
Now all this was done, that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin
shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name
Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, 'God with us'.
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the
angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
And knew her not till she had brought forth
her firstborn son: and he called His name Yahshua.
And it came to pass in those days, that there
went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of
And all went to be taxed, every one into his
own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of
the city of
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being
great with child.
And so it was, that, while they were there,
the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and
wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger; because there was
no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds
abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for,
behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall
find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a
multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace, good will toward mankind.
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone
away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go
even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord
hath made known unto us.
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and
Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
And when they had seen it, they made known
abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
And all they that heard it wondered at those
things which were told them by the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these things, and pondered
them in her heart.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and
praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told
unto them.
And when eight days were accomplished for the
circumcising of the child, His name was called Yahshua, Which was so named of
the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
And when the days of her purification
according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought Him to
(As it is written in the law of the Lord,
"Every male that openeth the womb shall be
called holy to the Lord";)
And to offer a sacrifice according to that
which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young
pigeons.
And, behold, there was a man in
And it was revealed unto him by the Holy
Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and
when the parents brought in the child Yahshua, to do for Him after the custom
of the law, then took he Him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord,
now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace,
according to Thy word: For mine eyes have seen Thy salvation, which Thou hast
prepared before the face of all people;
A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory
of Thy people
And Joseph and His mother marvelled at those
things which were spoken of Him.
And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary
His mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in
(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own
soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the
daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband
seven years from her virginity;
And she was a widow of about fourscore and
four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
And she coming in that instant gave thanks
likewise unto the Lord, and spake of Him to all them that looked for redemption
in
And when they had performed all things
according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city
And the child grew, and waxed strong, filled
with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon Him.
Now when Yahshua was born in Bethlehem of
Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east
to
Saying, Where is He That is born King of the
Jews? for we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.
When Herod the king had heard [these things],
he was troubled, and all
And when he had gathered all the chief priests
and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where the Christ should
be born.
And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of
Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, "And thou
Then Herod, when he had privily
called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
And he sent them to
bring me word again, that I may
come and worship Him also.
When they had heard the king, they departed;
and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came
and stood over where the young child was.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with
exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young
child with Mary His mother, and fell down, and worshipped Him:
and when they had opened
their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and
myrrh.
And being warned of God in a dream that they
should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
And when they were departed, behold, the angel
of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying,
Arise, and take the young child and His mother, and flee into
When he arose, he took the young child and His
mother by night, and departed into
And was there until the death of Herod: that
it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out
of
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of
the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children
that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and
under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by
Jeremy the prophet, saying, In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and
weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping [for] her children, and would not
be comforted, because they are not.
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of
the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in
Saying, Arise, and take the young child and
His mother, and go into the
And he arose, and took the young child and His
mother, and came into the
But when he heard that Archelaus
did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go
thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into
the parts of Galilee: And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it
might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a
Nazarene.
Now His parents went to
And when He was twelve years old, they went up
to
But they, supposing Him to have been in the
company, went a day's journey; and they sought Him among their kinsfolk and
acquaintance. And when they found Him not, they turned back again to
And it came to pass, that after three days
they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing
them, and asking them questions.
And all that heard Him were astonished at His
understanding and answers.
And when they saw Him, they were amazed: and
His mother said unto Him, Son, why hast Thou thus dealt with us? behold, Thy
father and I have sought Thee sorrowing.
And He said unto them, How is it that ye
sought Me? wist ye not that I must be about My
Father's business?
And they understood not the saying which He
spake unto them.
And He went down with them, and came to
And Yahshua increased in wisdom and stature,
and in favour with God and man.
Matt. 3:1-12, Mark 1:1-8,
Luke 3:1-18, John 1:15-18
The beginning of the gospel of Yahshua the
Christ, the Son of God; As it is written in the prophets, "Behold, I send
My messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee."
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of
Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being
tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the
region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias
the tetrarch of Abilene,
Annas and Caiaphas
being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in
the wilderness.
And he came into all the country about
For this is he that was spoken of by the
prophet Esaias, as it is written, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of Yahweh, make His paths straight. Every valley shall be
filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall
be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; And all flesh shall
see the salvation of God".
John bare witness of Him, and cried, saying,
This was He of Whom I spake, He That cometh after me is preferred before me:
for He was before me. And of His fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
For the law was given by Moses, [but] grace
and truth came by Yahshua the Christ.
No one hath seen God at any time; the only
begotten Son, Which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared [Him].
And the same John had his raiment of camel's
hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild
honey.
Then went out to him
Then said he to the multitude that came forth
to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from
the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin
not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto
you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of
the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not
forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
And the people asked him, saying, What shall
we do then?
He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath
two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him
do likewise.
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and
said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
And he said unto them, Exact no more than that
which is appointed you.
And the soldiers likewise demanded of him,
saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no one,
neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
And as the people were in expectation, and all
mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed
baptize you with water unto repentance; but one mightier than I cometh, the
latchet of Whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose: He shall
baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire:
Whose fan is in His hand, and He will
thoroughly purge His floor, and will gather the wheat into His garner; but the
chaff He will burn with fire unquenchable.
And many other things in his exhortation
preached he unto the people.
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him
for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had
done, added yet this above all, that he [later] shut up John in prison.
Matt. 3:13-17, Mark 1:9-11,
Luke 3:21-22
Then cometh Yahshua from Nazareth of Galilee
and to be baptized of John in
But John forbad Him, saying, I have need to be
baptized of Thee, and comest Thou to me?
And Yahshua answering said unto him, Suffer
[it to be so] now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered Him.
Now when all the people were baptized, it came
to pass that Yahshua, being baptized and praying, went up straightway out of
the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto Him, and he saw the Spirit of
God descending in a bodily shape like a dove, and lighting upon Him:
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is My
beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.
And Yahshua Himself began to be about thirty
years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
Which was the son of Matthat,
which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi,
which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph,

Matt 4:1-2, Mark 1:12-13,
Luke 4:1-13
And Yahshua being full of the Holy Spirit returned
from
Being forty days tempted of the devil, and was
with the wild beasts. And in those days He did eat nothing: and when they were
ended, He afterward hungered.
And the devil said unto Him, If Thou be the
Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
And Yahshua answered him, saying, It is
written that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
And the devil, taking Him up into an high mountain,
shewed unto Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
And the devil said unto Him, All this power
will I give Thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to
whomsoever I will I give it. If Thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be
Thine.
And Yahshua answered and said unto him, Get
thee behind Me, Satan: for it is written, "Thou shalt worship Yahweh thy
God, and Him only shalt thou serve".
And he brought Him to
For it is written, "He shall give His
angels charge over thee, to keep thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee
up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone".
And Yahshua answering said unto him, It is
said, "Thou shalt not tempt Yahweh thy God".
And when the devil had ended all the
temptation, he departed from Him for a season.
And [again] the tempter came to Him, he said,
If Thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
But He answered and said, It is written,
"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God".
Then the devil taketh
Him up into the holy city, and setteth Him on a pinnacle
of the temple, and saith unto Him, If Thou be the Son of God, cast Thyself
down: for it is written, "He shall give His angels charge concerning thee:
and in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy
foot against a stone".
Yahshua said unto him, It is written again,
"Thou shalt not tempt Yahweh thy God".
Again, the devil taketh
Him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth
Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; and saith unto Him,
All these things will I give Thee, if Thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Then saith Yahshua unto him, Get thee hence,
Satan: for it is written, "Thou shalt worship Yahweh thy God, and Him only
shalt thou serve".
Then the devil leaveth
Him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto Him.
And Yahshua returned in the power of the
Spirit into
And this is the record of John, when the Jews
sent priests and Levites from
And he confessed, and denied not; but
confessed, I am not the Christ.
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias?
And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we
may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest
thou of thyself?
He said, I [am] the voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
And they which were sent were of the
Pharisees. And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest
thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
John answered them, saying, I baptize with
water: but there standeth one among you, Whom ye know
not; He it is, Who coming after me is preferred before me, Whose shoe's latchet
I am not worthy to unloose.
These things were done in Bethabara
beyond
The next day John seeth
Yahshua coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, Which taketh away the sin of the world.
This is He of Whom I said, After me cometh a
man Which is preferred before me: for He was before me. And I knew Him not: but that He should be
made manifest to
And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit
descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon Him. And I knew Him not: but He That sent me to
baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon Whom thou shalt see the Spirit
descending, and remaining on Him, the same is He Which baptizeth
with the Holy Spirit.
And I saw, and bare record that this is the
Son of God.
Again the next day after John stood, and two
of his disciples;
And looking upon Yahshua as He walked, he
saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
And the two disciples heard him speak, and
they followed Yahshua.
Then Yahshua turned, and saw them following,
and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto Him, Rabbi, (which is to say,
being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest Thou?
He saith unto them, Come and see. They came
and saw where He dwelt, and abode with Him that day: for it was about the tenth
hour.
One of the two which heard John [speak], and
followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and
saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is,
being interpreted, the Christ.
And he brought him to Yahshua. And when
Yahshua beheld him, He said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona:
thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by
interpretation, A stone.
The day following Yahshua would go forth into
Now Philip was of
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him,
We have found Him, of Whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write,
Yahshua of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any
good thing come out of
Yahshua saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith
of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
Nathanael saith unto Him, Whence knowest Thou me? Yahshua answered and said unto him, Before
that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig
tree, I saw thee.
Nathanael answered and saith unto Him, Rabbi,
Thou art the Son of God; Thou art the King of Israel.
Yahshua answered and said unto him, Because I
said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest
thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
And He saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, Hereafter ye shall see
heaven open, and the angels
of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana
of Galilee; and the mother of Yahshua was there:
And both Yahshua was called, and His
disciples, to the marriage.
And when they wanted wine, the mother of
Yahshua saith unto Him, They have no wine.
Yahshua saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do
with thee? Mine hour is not yet come.
His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever
He saith unto you, do [it].
And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of
the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
Yahshua saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
And He saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear
unto the governor of the feast. And they bare [it].
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the
water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which
drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
And saith unto him, Every one at the beginning
doth set forth good wine; and when people have well drunk, then that which is worse:
[but] thou hast kept the good wine until now.
This beginning of miracles did Yahshua in Cana
of Galilee, and manifested forth His glory; and His disciples believed on Him.
After this He went down to
And He came to
And there was delivered unto Him the book of
the prophet Esaias. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where
it was written,
"The Spirit of Yahweh is upon Me, because
He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to preach
deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at
liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of Yahweh".
And He closed the book, and He gave it again
to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the
synagogue were fastened on Him.
And He began to say unto them, This day is
this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
And all bare Him witness, and wondered at the
gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, Is not this
Joseph's son?
And He said unto them, Ye will surely say unto
Me this proverb, Physician, heal Thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in
And He said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet
is accepted in his own country.
But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in
But unto none of them was Elias sent, save
unto Sarepta, a city of
And many lepers were in
And all they in the synagogue, when they heard
these things, were filled with wrath,
And rose up, and thrust Him out of the city,
and led Him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they
might cast Him down headlong. But He passing through the midst of them went His
way.
And the Jews' passover
was at hand, and Yahshua went up to
And when He had made a scourge of small cords,
He drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured
out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
And said unto them that sold doves, Take these
things hence; make not My Father's house an house of merchandise.
And His disciples remembered that it was
written, "The zeal of Thine house hath eaten me up".
Then answered the Jews and said unto Him, What
sign shewest Thou unto us, seeing that Thou doest
these things?
Yahshua answered and said unto them, Destroy
this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was
this temple in building, and wilt Thou rear it up in three days?
But He spake of the temple of His body.
When therefore He was risen from the dead, His
disciples remembered that He had said this unto them; and they believed the
scripture, and the word which Yahshua had said.
Now when He was in
But Yahshua did not commit Himself unto them,
because He knew all, and needed not that any should testify of mankind: for He
knew what was in mankind.
There was a man of the Pharisees, named
Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
The same came to Yahshua by night, and said
unto Him, Rabbi, we know that Thou art a teacher come from God: for no one can
do these miracles that Thou doest, except God be with him.
Yahshua answered and said unto him, Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, Except any one be born again, he cannot see the
Nicodemus saith unto Him, How can any one be
born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and
be born?
Yahshua answered, Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, Except a one be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into
the
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be
born again.
The wind bloweth
where it listeth, and thou hearest
the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Nicodemus answered and said unto Him, How can
these things be?
Yahshua answered and said unto him, Art thou a
master of
If I have told you earthly things, and ye
believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you [of] heavenly things?
(And no one hath ascended up to heaven, but He
That came down from heaven, the Son of man Which is in heaven. And as Moses
lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted
up: That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world, that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have
everlasting life.
For God sent not His Son into the world to
condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but
he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the
name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation, that light is
come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds
were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the
light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be
reproved.
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light,
that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.)
After these things came Yahshua and His
disciples into the
And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because
there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. For John was not yet cast into prison.
Then there arose a question between [some] of
John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. And they came unto John, and
said unto him, Rabbi, He That was with thee beyond
John answered and said, One can receive
nothing, except it be given him from heaven. Ye yourselves bear me witness,
that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before Him.
He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but
the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and
heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the
bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. He must increase, but I
[must] decrease.
He That cometh from above is above all: he
that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the
earth: He That cometh from heaven is above all.
And what He hath seen and heard, that He testifieth; and no one receiveth His testimony.
He that hath received His testimony hath set
to his seal that God is true. For He Whom God hath sent speaketh
the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by
measure [unto Him].
The Father loveth
the Son, and hath given all things into His hand.
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting
life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of
God abideth on him.
When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees
had heard that Yahshua made and baptized more disciples than John, (Though
Yahshua Himself baptized not, but His disciples,) He left Judaea, and departed
again into
And He must needs go through
Then cometh He to a city of
Now Jacob's well was there. Yahshua therefore,
being wearied with [His] journey, sat thus on the well: [and] it was about the
sixth hour.
There cometh a woman of
Then saith the woman of
Yahshua answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and Who it is that saith to thee,
Give Me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of Him,
and He would have given thee living water.
The woman saith unto Him, Sir, Thou hast
nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast Thou that
living water? Art Thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well,
and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
Yahshua answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never
thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water
springing up into everlasting life.
The woman saith unto Him, Sir, give me this
water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
Yahshua saith unto her, Go, call thy husband,
and come hither.
The woman answered and said, I have no
husband. Yahshua said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom
thou now hast is not thy husband: that saidst thou
truly.
The woman saith unto Him, Sir, I perceive that
Thou art a prophet.
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and
ye say, that in
Yahshua saith unto her, Woman, believe Me, the
hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at
God [is] Spirit: and they that worship Him
must worship [Him] in spirit and in truth.
The woman saith unto Him, I know that the Messias cometh, Which is called the Christ: when He is
come, He will tell us all things.
Yahshua saith unto her, I that speak unto thee
am [He].
And upon this came His disciples, and
marvelled that He talked with the woman: yet no one said, What seekest Thou? or, Why talkest
Thou with her?
The woman then left her waterpot,
and went her way into the city, and saith to the people, Come, see a man, Which
told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
They went out of the city, and came unto Him.
In the mean while His disciples prayed Him,
saying, Master, eat.
But He said unto them, I have meat to eat that
ye know not.
Therefore said the disciples one to another,
Hath any one brought Him [ought] to eat?
Yahshua saith unto them, My meat is to do the
will of Him That sent Me, and to finish His work.
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and
[then] cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on
the fields; for they are white already to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth
fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and
he that reapeth may rejoice together. And herein is
that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no
labour: others laboured,
and ye are entered into their labours.
And many of the Samaritans of that city
believed on Him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all
that ever I did.
So when the Samaritans were come unto Him,
they besought Him that He would tarry with them: and He abode there two days.
And many more believed because of His own
word; And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for
we have heard [Him] ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the
world.
Matt. 4:12-17, Mark 1:14-15,
John 4:43-44
Now after two days, when Yahshua had heard
that John was cast into prison, He departed thence and went into Galilee; And leaving
He came and dwelt in
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by
Esaias the prophet, saying, The land of Zabulon, and
the land of Nephthalim, [by] the way of the sea,
beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
The people which sat in darkness saw great
light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung
up.
From that time Yahshua began to preach the
gospel of the
Then when He was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received Him, having seen all the things that He
did at
So Yahshua came again into Cana of Galilee,
where He made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was
sick at
When he heard that Yahshua was come out of
Judaea into
Then said Yahshua unto him, Except ye see
signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
The nobleman saith unto Him, Sir, come down
ere my child die.
Yahshua saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Yahshua had
spoken unto him, and he went his way.
And as he was now going down, his servants met
him, and told [him], saying, Thy son liveth. Then
enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him,
Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
So the father knew that [it was] at the same
hour, in the which Yahshua said unto him, Thy son liveth:
and himself believed, and his whole house.
This [is] again the second miracle [that] Yahshua
did, when He was come out of Judaea into
And Yahshua, walking by the sea of Galilee,
saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net
into the sea: for they were fishers.
And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will
make you to become fishers of men. And they straightway left [their] nets, and
followed Him.
And when He had gone a little farther thence,
He saw other two brethren, James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother,
who also were in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets.
And straightway He called them: and they
immediately left their father in the ship with the hired servants, and went
after Him.
And Yahshua went about all
And His fame went throughout all
And there followed Him great multitudes of
people from Galilee, and [from] Decapolis, and [from]
And seeing the multitudes, He went up into a
mountain: and when He was set, His disciples came unto Him:
And He opened His mouth, and taught them,
saying,
Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs
is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall
be comforted.
Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit
the earth.
Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst
after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall
obtain mercy.
Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they
shall see God.
Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall
be called the sons of God.
Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for
righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when [people] shall revile
you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely,
for My sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is]
your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before
you.
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt
have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?
it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under
foot of people.
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is
set on an hill cannot be hid.
Neither do people light a candle, and put it
under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth
light unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before people, that
they may see your good works, and glorify your Father Which is in heaven.
Think not that I am come to destroy the law,
or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and
earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise
pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these
least commandments, and shall teach people so, he shall be called the least in
the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall
be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
For I say unto you, That except your
righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye
shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old
time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the
judgment:
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry
with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and
whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in
danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger
of hell fire.
Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar,
and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy
gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and
then come and offer thy gift.
Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles
thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to
the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into
prison.
Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means
come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old
time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed
adultery with her already in his heart.
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it
out, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy
members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell.
And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off,
and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members
should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell.
It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away
his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That
whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry
her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by
them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the
Lord thine oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for
it is God's throne:
Nor by the earth; for it is His footstool:
neither by
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because
thou canst not make one hair white or black.
But let your word, Yea [be] yea; Nay [be] nay:
for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye
for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil:
but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
And if any man will sue thee at the law, and
take away thy coat, let him have [thy] cloke also.
And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him
that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou
shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your
enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for
them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
That ye may be the sons of your Father Which
is in heaven: for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and
sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
For if ye love them which love you, what
reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do
ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so?
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father
Which is in heaven is perfect.
Take heed that ye do not your alms before
people, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father Which is
in heaven.
Therefore when thou doest [thine] alms, do not
sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the
streets, that they may have glory of people. Verily I say unto you, They have
their reward.
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left
hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy
Father Which seeth in secret Himself shall reward
thee.
And when thou prayest,
thou shalt not be as the hypocrites [are]: for they love to pray standing in
the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of
people. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
But thou, when thou prayest,
enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father
Which is in secret; and thy Father Which seeth in
secret shall reward thee.
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as
the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much
speaking.
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your
Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye
ask Him.
After this manner therefore pay ye: Our Father
Which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done
in earth, as [it is] in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our
debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine
is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
For if ye forgive people their trespasses,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not people their
trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the
hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may
appear unto people to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine
head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto people to fast, but unto thy
Father Which is in secret: and thy Father, Which seeth
in secret, shall reward thee.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon
earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and
steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break
through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your
heart be also.
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore
thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall
be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how
great [is] that darkness!
No one can serve two masters: for either he
will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and
despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for
your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body,
what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than
raiment?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not,
neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Which of you by taking thought can add one
cubit unto his stature?
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider
the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they
spin: And yet I say unto you, That even
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the
field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, [shall He] not
much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall
we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For
after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for
the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day
[is] the evil thereof.
Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with
what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it
shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest
thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest
not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me
pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam [is] in thine own eye?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of
thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy
brother's eye.
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs,
neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their
feet, and turn again and rend you.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye
shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he
that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Or what one is there of you, whom if his son
ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a
serpent?
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good
gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father Which is in heaven
give good things to them that ask Him?
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that
people should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the
prophets.
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is]
the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait [is] the
gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto
life, and few there be that find it.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in
sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do people
gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth
forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth
evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,
neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth
not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord,
shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father
Which is in heaven.
Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord,
have we not prophesied in Thy name? and in Thy name have cast out devils? and
in Thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never
knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of
Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house
upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
And every one that heareth these sayings of
Mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his
house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
And it came to pass, when Yahshua had ended
these sayings, the people were astonished at His doctrine: For He taught them
as [one] having authority, and not as the scribes.
When He was come down from the mountain, great
multitudes followed Him.
And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped
Him, saying, Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.
And Yahshua put forth [His] hand, and touched
him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
And Yahshua saith unto him, See thou tell no
one; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded,
for a testimony unto them.
And when Yahshua was entered into Capernaum,
there came unto Him a centurion, beseeching Him, and saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
And Yahshua saith unto him, I will come and
heal him.
The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am
not worthy that Thou shouldest come under my roof:
but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under
authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this [man], Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my
servant, Do this, and he doeth [it].
When Yahshua heard [it], He marvelled, and
said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great
faith, no, not in Israel.
And I say unto you, That many shall come from
the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in
the kingdom of heaven. But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer
darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
And Yahshua said unto the centurion, Go thy
way; and as thou hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame
hour.
And they went into
And they were astonished at His doctrine: for
His word was with power and He taught them as one that had authority, and not
as the scribes.
And there was in their synagogue a man with an
unclean spirit of a devil; and he cried out with a loud voice, Saying, Let [us]
alone; what have we to do with Thee, Thou Yahshua of Nazareth? art Thou come to
destroy us? I know Thee Who Thou art, the Holy One of God.
And Yahshua rebuked him, saying, Hold thy
peace, and come out of him.
And when the unclean spirit had torn him and
thrown him in the midst, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him and
hurt him not.
And they were all amazed, insomuch that they
spake and questioned among themselves, saying, What a word is this! and What
thing is this? what new doctrine [is] this? for with authority and power commandeth He even the unclean spirits, and they do obey
Him and come out.
And immediately His fame spread abroad
throughout all the region into every place of the country round about
Matt. 8:14-15, Mark 1:29-31,
Luke 4:38-39
And forthwith, when they were come out of the
synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon Peter and Andrew, with James
and John.
But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a great
fever, and anon they tell Him of her and besought Him for her.
And He came and stood over her and took her by
the hand. He rebuked the fever and
lifted her up. Immediately the fever
left her and she arose and ministered unto them.
Matt. 8:16-17, Mark 1:32-34,
Luke 4:40-41
Now when the even was come and the sun was
setting, they brought unto Him all that were diseased and many that were
possessed with devils: And all the city was gathered together at the door.
And He cast out the spirits with [His] word
and they cried out saying, Thou are the Son of God. And He rebuking them suffered not the devils
to speak, because they knew Him that He was the Christ, And He laid His hands on
all that were sick of diverse diseases and healed them:
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by
Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare [our]
sicknesses.
And in the morning, rising up a great while
before day, He went out, and when it was day, He departed into a solitary
desert place, and there prayed. And Simon and they that were with Him followed
after Him.
And when they had found Him, they came unto
Him, and stayed Him that He should not depart from them. And they said unto Him, All seek for Thee.
And He said unto them, Let us go into the next
towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.
And He preached in their synagogues throughout
all
And it came to pass, that, as the people
pressed upon Him to hear the word of God, He stood by the lake of Gennesaret, and saw two ships standing by the lake: but the
fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
And He entered into one of the ships, which
was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land.
And He sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
Now when He had left speaking, He said unto
Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
And Simon answering said unto Him, Master, we
have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at Thy word I
will let down the net.
And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they
should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that
they began to sink.
When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Yahshua'
knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
For he was astonished, and all that were with
him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
And so was also James, and John, the sons of
Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Yahshua said unto Simon, Fear not;
from henceforth thou shalt catch people.
And when they had brought their ships to land,
they forsook all, and followed Him.
And it came to pass, when He was in a certain
city, behold a man full of leprosy came to Yahshua, beseeching Him and kneeling
down to Him. And seeing Yahshua he fell on his face, saying unto Him, Lord, if
Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.
And Yahshua, moved with compassion, put forth
His hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the
leprosy departed from him and he was cleansed.
And He straitly
charged him to tell no one and forthwith sent him away and saith unto him, See
thou say nothing to any one: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and
offer for thy cleansing, those things according as Moses commanded, for a
testimony unto them.
But he went out, and began to publish [it]
much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Yahshua could no more openly
enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and so much the more
went there a fame abroad of Him. And great multitudes came to Him from every
quarter to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities.
And He withdrew himself into the wilderness,
and prayed.
And again He entered into
And it came to pass on a certain day, as He
was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by,
which were come out of every town of
And straightway many were gathered together,
insomuch that there was no room to receive [them], no, not so much as about the
door: and He preached the word unto them.
And, behold, they come unto him, four men who
brought in a bed a man which was taken sick with a palsy: and they sought means
to bring him in, and to lay him before Him.
And when they could not come nigh unto Him or
find what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon
the housetop, and uncovered the roof where He was. And when they had broken [it] up, they let
him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Yahshua.
And when Yahshua saw their faith, He said unto
the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
But there were certain of the scribes and
Pharisees sitting there, and they began to reason in their hearts, saying, Who
is this [man] and why doth He thus speak blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but
God alone?
And immediately when Yahshua perceived their
thoughts in His spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, He answering
said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether is it easier
to say to the sick of the palsy, [Thy] sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise,
and take up thy bed, and walk?
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath
power on earth to forgive sins, (He saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say unto
thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
And immediately he arose before them, took up
the bed whereon he lay, and went forth before them all to his own house,
glorifying God. And they were all
amazed, and glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We never saw it
on this fashion; we have seen strange things to day.
Now when Yahshua saw great multitudes about Him,
He gave commandment to depart unto the other side.
And a certain scribe came, and said unto Him,
Master, I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest.
And Yahshua saith unto him, The foxes have
holes, and the birds of the air [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where
to lay [His] head.
And another of His disciples said unto Him,
Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
But Yahshua said unto him, Follow Me; and let
the dead bury their dead.
And when He was entered into a ship, His disciples
followed Him. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch
that the ship was covered with the waves: but He was asleep.
And His disciples came to [Him], and awoke
Him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
And He saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O
ye of little faith? Then He arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there
was a great calm.
But the people marvelled, saying, What manner
of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him!
And when He was come to the other side into
the country of the Gergesenes, there met Him two
possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no
one might pass by that way. And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we
to do with Thee, Yahshua, Thou Son of God? art Thou come hither to torment us
before the time?
And there was a good way off from them an herd
of many swine feeding.
So the devils besought Him, saying, If Thou
cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
And He said unto them, Go. And when they were
come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of
swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the
waters.
And they that kept them fled, and went their
ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the
possessed of the devils.
And, behold, the whole city came out to meet
Yahshua: and when they saw Him, they besought [Him] that He would depart out of
their coasts. And He entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into His
own city.
And, behold, they brought to Him a man sick of
the palsy, lying on a bed: and Yahshua seeing their faith said unto the sick of
the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
And, behold, certain of the scribes said
within themselves, This [man] blasphemeth.
And Yahshua knowing their thoughts said,
Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
For whether is easier, to say, [Thy] sins be
forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of
man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith He to the sick of the
palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
And he arose, and departed to his house.
But when the multitudes saw [it], they
marvelled, and glorified God, Which had given such power unto people.
Matt. 9:9, Mark 2:13-14,
Luke 5:27-28
And Yahshua passed forth from thence and went
forth again to the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto Him and He
taught them.
And as He passed by, He saw Levi the [son] of Alphaeus, a publican, [also] named Matthew, sitting at the
receipt of custom: and He saith unto him, Follow Me. And he left all, arose,
and followed Him.
Matt. 9:10-13, Mark 2:15-17,
Luke 5:29-32
And Levi made Him a great feast in his own
house: and there was a great company of publicans and sinners that sat down
with Him and His disciples: for there were many, and they followed Him.
And when the scribes and Pharisees saw [it],
they murmured against His disciples, saying, How is it that you and He eat and
drink with publicans and sinners?
But when Yahshua heard [that], He answered and
said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are
sick.
But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not
come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Matt. 9:14-17, Mark 2:18-22,
Luke 3:33-39
And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees
used to fast: and they come and say unto Him, Why do we fast often and make
prayers, but Thy disciples eat and drink and fast not?
And Yahshua said unto them, Can ye make the
sons of the bridechamber mourn and fast, while the
bridegroom is with them? As long as they
have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
But the days will come, when the bridegroom
shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
No one seweth a
piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that new piece which is put in to
fill it up taketh from the old garment, and the rent
is made worse. [And] the piece that was
taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.
Neither do people put new wine into old
bottles: else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the
bottles shall perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are
preserved.
No one also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
And it came to pass on the second sabbath
after the first, that He went through the corn fields; and His disciples began,
as they went, to pluck the ears of corn and did eat, rubbing them in their
hands.
And certain of the Pharisees said unto Him,
Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
And Yahshua said unto them, Have ye never read
so much as this, what David did, when he had need and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?
How he went into the house of God in the days
of Abiathar the high priest, and did take and eat the
shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him;
which is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
And He said unto them, The sabbath was made
for man, not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the
sabbath.
While He spake these things unto them, behold,
there came a certain ruler, and worshipped Him, saying, My daughter is even now
dead: but come and lay Thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
And Yahshua arose, and followed him, and [so
did] His disciples.
And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with
an issue of blood twelve years, came behind [Him], and touched the hem of His
garment:
For she said within herself, If I may but
touch His garment, I shall be whole.
But Yahshua turned Him about, and when He saw
her, He said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And
the woman was made whole from that hour.
And when Yahshua came into the ruler's house,
and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is
not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed Him to
scorn.
But when the people were put forth, He went
in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
And the fame hereof went abroad into all that
land.
And when Yahshua departed thence, two blind
men followed Him, crying, and saying, [Thou] son of David, have mercy on us.
And when He was come into the house, the blind
men came to Him: and Yahshua saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do
this? They said unto Him, Yea, Lord.
Then touched He their eyes, saying, According
to your faith be it unto you. And their eyes were opened; and Yahshua straitly charged them, saying, See [that] no one know [it].
But they, when they were departed, spread
abroad His fame in all that country.
As they went out, behold, they brought to Him
a dumb man possessed with a devil. And when the devil was cast out, the dumb
spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in
But the Pharisees said, He casteth
out devils through the prince of the devils.
And Yahshua went about all the cities and
villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the
kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease.
But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved
with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as
sheep having no shepherd.
Then saith He unto His disciples, The harvest
truly [is] plenteous, but the labourers [are] few;
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers into His harvest.
And it came to pass also on another sabbath,
that He entered again into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man there
whose right hand was withered.
And the scribes and Pharisees watched Him,
whether He would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse Him.
But He knew their thoughts, and said unto the
man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
Then said Yahshua unto them, I will ask you
one thing; Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save
life, or to destroy it? But they held their peace.
And when He had looked round about on them
with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, He saith unto the
man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched [it] out: and his hand was
restored whole as the other.
And they were filled with madness; and
communed one with another what they might do to Yahshua.
And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway
took counsel with the Herodians against Him, how they
might destroy Him.
But Yahshua withdrew Himself with His
disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, and from
Judaea, And from
And He spake to His disciples, that a small
ship should wait on Him because of the multitude, lest they should throng Him.
For He had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon Him for to touch Him,
as many as had plagues.
And unclean spirits, when they saw Him, fell
down before Him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
And He straitly
charged them that they should not make Him known.
Matt. 10:1-42, Mark 3:13-19,
Luke 6:12-16
And it came to pass in those days, that He goeth up into a mountain to pray, and continued all night
in prayer to God.
And when it was day, He calleth
[unto Him] His disciples: and they came unto Him.
And of them He chose and ordained twelve
apostles, that they should be with Him, and that He might send them forth to
preach,
And He gave them power [against] unclean
spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of
disease:
Now the names of the twelve apostles are
these: Simon, who He surnamed Peter; and Andrew his brother;
And James the [son] of Zebedee, and John the
brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges,
which is, The sons of thunder:
And Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew the
publican, and Thomas, and James the [son] of Alphaeus,
and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus,
and Simon the Canaanite,
And Judas Iscariot, the traitor which also
betrayed Him.
These twelve Yahshua sent forth, and commanded
them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into [any] city of the
Samaritans enter ye not:
But go rather to the lost sheep of the house
of
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of
heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out
devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in
your purses, nor scrip for [your] journey, neither two coats, neither shoes,
nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
And into whatsoever city or town ye shall
enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. And when
ye come into an house, salute it.
And if the house be worthy, let your peace
come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear
your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of
your feet.
Verily I say unto you, It shall be more
tolerable for the
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst
of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
But beware of people: for they will deliver
you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And ye
shall be brought before governors and kings for My sake, for a testimony
against them and the Gentiles.
But when they deliver you up, take no thought
how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye
shall speak.
For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of
your Father which speaketh in you.
And the brother shall deliver up the brother
to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against
[their] parents, and cause them to be put to death.
And ye shall be hated of all for My name's
sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
But when they persecute you in this city, flee
ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the
cities of
The disciple is not above [his] master, nor
the servant above his lord.
It is enough for the disciple that he be as
his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the
house Beelzebub, how much more [shall they call] them of his household?
Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing
covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
What I tell you in darkness, [that] speak ye
in light: and what ye hear in the ear, [that] preach ye upon the housetops.
And fear not them which kill the body, but are
not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both
soul and body in hell.
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and
one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very
hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more
value than many sparrows.
Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before
people, him will I confess also before My Father Which is in heaven.
But whosoever shall deny Me before people, him
will I also deny before My Father Which is in heaven.
Think not that I am come to send peace on
earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance
against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in
law against her mother in law.
And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own
household.
He that loveth
father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
And he that taketh not his stake, and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me.
He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he
that loseth his life for My sake shall find it.
He that receiveth you receiveth Me, and he
that receiveth Me receiveth Him That sent Me.
He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a
prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous one
in the name of a righteous one shall receive a righteous one's reward.
And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of
these little ones a cup of cold [water] only in the name of a disciple, verily
I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
Matt. 11:1, Mark 3:19-21,
Luke 6:17-49
And it came to pass, when Yahshua had made an
end of commanding His twelve disciples, He came down with them and they went
into an house. [Then] He departed thence to teach and to preach in their
cities.
And [He} stood in the plain, and the company
of His disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and
Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon,
which came to hear Him, and to be healed of their diseases; And they that were
vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.
And the multitude cometh together, so that
they could not so much as eat bread.
And the whole multitude sought to touch Him:
for there went virtue out of Him, and healed them all.
And He lifted up His eyes on His disciples,
and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the
Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall
be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
Blessed are ye, when people shall hate you,
and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you,
and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for,
behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their
fathers unto the prophets.
But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have
received your consolation.
Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall
hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
Woe unto you, when all people shall speak well
of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
But I say unto you which hear, Love your
enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray
for them which despitefully use you.
And unto him that smiteth
thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh
away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.
Give to every one that asketh of thee; and of
him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
And as ye would that people should do to you,
do ye also to them likewise. For if ye love them which love you, what thank
have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
And if ye do good to them which do good to
you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to
receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as
much again.
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and
lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be
the sons of the Highest: for He is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also
is merciful.
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn
not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good
measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give
into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be
measured to you again.
And He spake a parable unto them, Can the
blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
The disciple is not above his master: but
every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
And why beholdest
thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest
not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Either how canst thou say to thy brother,
Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou
hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou
see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
For a good tree bringeth
not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs,
nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
A good person out of the good treasure of his
heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil
person out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth
forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
And why call ye Me, Lord, Lord, and do not the
things which I say?
Whosoever cometh to Me, and heareth My sayings,
and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a one which
built an house, and digged deep, and laid the
foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon
that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a
one that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the
stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house
was great.
[Now] when His friends heard [of these
things], they went out to lay hold on Him: for they said, He is beside Himself.
Now when He had ended all His sayings in the
audience of the people, He entered into
And a certain centurion's servant, who was
dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die. And when he heard of Yahshua, he
sent unto Him the elders of the Jews, beseeching Him that He would come and
heal his servant.
And when they came to Yahshua, they besought
Him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom He should do this: For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
Then Yahshua went with them. And when He was
now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying unto Him,
Lord, trouble not Thyself: for I am not worthy that Thou shouldest
enter under my roof:
Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to
come unto Thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
For I also am a man set under authority,
having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth;
and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth
it.
When Yahshua heard these things, He marvelled
at him, and turned Him about, and said unto the people that followed Him, I say
unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
And they that were sent, returning to the
house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
And it came to pass the day after, that He
went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and much
people.
Now when He came nigh to the gate of the city,
behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she
was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
And when the Lord saw her, He had compassion
on her, and said unto her, Weep not. And He came and touched the bier: and they
that bare him stood still. And He said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
And he that was dead sat up, and began to
speak. And He delivered him to his mother. And there came a fear on all: and
they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and,
That God hath visited His people.
And this rumour of
Him went forth throughout all
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and
Yahshua went up to
Now there is at
For an angel went down at a certain season
into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling
of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
And a certain man was there, which had an
infirmity thirty and eight years.
When Yahshua saw him lie, and knew that he had
been now a long time [in that case], He saith unto him, Wilt thou be made
whole?
The impotent man answered Him, Sir, I have no
one, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am
coming, another steppeth down before me.
Yahshua saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed,
and walk.
And immediately the man was made whole, and
took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
The Jews therefore said unto him that was
cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry [thy] bed.
He answered them, He That made me whole, the
same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
Then asked they him, What man is that Which
said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
And he that was healed wist
not who it was: for Yahshua had conveyed Himself away, a multitude being in
[that] place.
Afterward Yahshua findeth him in the temple,
and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing
come unto thee.
The man departed, and told the Jews that it
was Yahshua, Which had made him whole.
And therefore did the Jews persecute Yahshua,
and sought to slay Him, because He had done these things on the sabbath day.
But Yahshua answered them, My Father worketh
hitherto, and I work.
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill
Him, because He not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was His
Father, making Himself equal with God.
Then answered Yahshua and said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father do: for what things soever
He doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. For the Father loveth
the Son, and sheweth Him all things that Himself
doeth: and He will shew Him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
For as the Father raiseth
up the dead, and quickeneth [them]; even so the Son quickeneth whom He will. For the Father judgeth
no one, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
That all should honour the Son, even as they
honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father Which hath sent Him.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
heareth My word, and believeth on Him That sent Me, hath everlasting life, and
shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is
coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and
they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in Himself; so hath He
given to the Son to have life in Himself; And hath given Him authority to
execute judgment also, because He is the Son of man.
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in
the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, and shall come
forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that
have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
I can of Mine own self do nothing: as I hear,
I judge: and My judgment is just; because I seek not Mine own will, but the
will of the Father Which hath sent Me.
If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not
true.
There is another that beareth
witness of Me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth
of Me is true.
Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto
the truth.
But I receive not testimony from mankind: but
these things I say, that ye might be saved.
He was a burning and a shining light: and ye
were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
But I have greater witness than [that] of
John: for the works which the Father hath given Me to finish, the same works
that I do, bear witness of Me, that the Father hath sent Me.
And the Father Himself, Which hath sent Me,
hath borne witness of Me. Ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen
His shape.
And ye have not His word abiding in you: for
Whom He hath sent, Him ye believe not.
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye
have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me. And ye will not come
to Me, that ye might have life.
I receive not honour from people. But I know
you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
I am come in My Father's name, and ye receive
Me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
How can ye believe, which receive honour one
of another, and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only?
Do not think that I will accuse you to the
Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even]
Moses, in whom ye trust.
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have
believed Me: for he wrote of Me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall
ye believe My words?
And the disciples of John shewed him of all
these things. And when John had heard in the prison the works of the Christ, he
sent two of his disciples to Yahshua,
And said unto Him, Art Thou He That should
come, or do we look for another?
When the men were come unto Him, they said,
John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art Thou He That should come? or look we for another? And in that same hour He cured many of their
infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind He
gave sight.
Then Yahshua answered and said unto them, Go
your way, and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
How the blind receive their sight, and the
lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up,
and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
And blessed is [he], whosoever shall not be
offended in Me.
And as the messengers of John were departed,
Yahshua began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into
the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed
in soft raiment? behold, they that are gorgeously apparelled
in soft [clothing] and live delicately, are in kings' houses.
But what went ye out for to see? A prophet?
yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. For this is [he], of whom it is
written, "Behold, I send My messenger before thy face, which shall prepare
thy way before thee".
For I say unto you, Among those that are born
of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is
least in the
And all the people that heard Him, and the
publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. But the
Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not
baptized of him.
[And He said again] Verily I say unto you,
Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the
Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater
than he.
And from the days of John the Baptist until
now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the
violent take it by force.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied
until John.
And if ye will receive [it], this is Elias,
which was for to come.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
And the Lord said, Whereunto shall I liken the
people of this generation? and to what are they like? They are like unto children sitting in the
markets, and calling unto their fellows,
And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye
have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
For John came neither eating bread nor
drinking wine, and they say, He hath a devil.
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and
they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and
sinners. But wisdom is justified of all her children.
Then began He to upbraid the cities wherein
most of His mighty works were done, because they repented not:
Woe unto thee, Chorazin!
woe unto thee,
But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable
for
And thou,
But I say unto you, That it shall be more
tolerable for the
At that time Yahshua answered and said, I
thank Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid these
things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in Thy
sight.
All things are delivered unto Me of My Father:
and no one knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any one the Father, save the Son, and [he] to
whomsoever the Son will reveal [Him].
Come unto Me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take
My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye
shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke [is] easy, and My burden is light.
And one of the Pharisees desired Him that He
would eat with him. And He went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to
meat.
And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a
sinner, when she knew that Yahshua sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought
an alabaster box of ointment, and stood at His feet behind Him weeping, and
began to wash His feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her
head, and kissed His feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
Now when the Pharisee which had bidden Him saw
it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if He were a prophet, would have
known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth
Him: for she is a sinner.
And Yahshua answering said unto him, Simon, I
have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
There was a certain creditor which had two
debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when they
had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of
them will love him most?
Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to
whom he forgave most. And He said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
And He turned to the woman, and said unto
Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine
house, thou gavest Me no water for My feet: but she
hath washed My feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
Thou gavest Me no
kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss My feet.
My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed My feet
with ointment.
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are
many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the
same loveth little.
And He said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
And they that sat at meat with Him began to
say within themselves, Who is This That forgiveth sins
also?
And He said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved
thee; go in peace.
And it came to pass afterward, that He went
throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing
the glad tidings of the
And certain women, which had been healed of
evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven
devils,
And Joanna the wife of Chuza
Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto Him of
their substance.
At that time Yahshua went on the sabbath day
through the corn; and His disciples were an hungred,
and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
But when the Pharisees saw [it], they said
unto Him, Behold, Thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the
sabbath day.
But He said unto them, Have ye not read what
David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were
with him; How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for
them which were with him, but only for the priests?
Or have ye not read in the law, how that on
the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are
blameless?
But I say unto you, That in this place is
[one] greater than the temple.
But if ye had known what [this] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not
have condemned the guiltless.
For the Son of man is Lord of the sabbath day.
And when He was departed thence, He went into
their synagogue:
And, behold, there was a man which had [his]
hand withered. And they asked Him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath
days? that they might accuse Him.
And He said unto them, What one shall there be
among you, that shall have one sheep,
and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and
lift [it] out?
How much then is a person better than a sheep?
Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
Then saith He to the man, Stretch forth thine
hand. And he stretched [it] forth; and it was restored whole, like as the
other.
Then the Pharisees went out, and held a
council against Him, how they might destroy Him. But when Yahshua knew [it], He
withdrew Himself from thence: and great multitudes followed Him, and He healed
them all; and charged them that they should not make Him known:
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by
Esaias the prophet, saying, Behold My servant, Whom I have chosen; My beloved,
in Whom My soul is well pleased: I will put My spirit upon Him, and He shall
shew judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any
one hear His voice in the streets. A bruised reed shall He not break, and
smoking flax shall He not quench, till He send forth judgment unto victory.
And in His name shall the Gentiles trust.
Matt. 12:22-37, Mark 3:22-30
Then was brought unto Him one possessed with a
devil, blind, and dumb: and He healed
him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
And all the people were amazed, and said, Is
not this the son of David?
But when the Pharisees and the scribes which
came down from
And He knew their thoughts, and He called them
and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? Every kingdom
divided against itself cannot stand; [it] is brought to desolation; and every
city or house divided against itself shall not stand: And if Satan cast out
Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? He cannot stand, but hath an end.
No one can enter into a strong man's house,
and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will
spoil his house.
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom
do your sons cast [them] out? therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of
God, then the
He that is not with Me is against Me; and he
that gathereth not with Me scattereth
abroad.
Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin
and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto the sons of men: but the blasphemy
[against] the [Holy] Spirit shall never be forgiven unto people.
And whosoever speaketh
a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven
him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to come: he is in danger of
eternal damnation.
Either make the tree good, and his fruit good;
or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by
[his] fruit.
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being
evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
A good person out of the good treasury bringeth forth good things: and an evil person out of the
evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
But I say unto you, That every idle word that
people shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and
by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
And when much people were gathered together,
and were come to Him out of every city, He spake by a parable:
A sower went out to
sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden
down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it
was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns
sprang up with it, and choked it.
And other fell on good ground, and sprang up,
and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when He had said these things, He cried, He
that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
And His disciples asked Him, saying, What
might this parable be?
And He said, Unto you it is given to know the
mysteries of the
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word
of God.
Those by the way side are they that hear; then
cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of
their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
They on the rock are they, which, when they
hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while
believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
And that which fell among thorns are they,
which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and
pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
But that on the good ground are they, which in
an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit
with patience.
No one, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth
it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that
they which enter in may see the light.
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made
manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever
hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken
even that which he seemeth to have.
Then certain of the scribes and of the
Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
But He answered and said unto them, An evil
and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be
given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
For as Jonas was three days and three nights
in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in
the heart of the earth.
The men of
The queen of the south shall rise up in the
judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the
uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a
greater than Solomon [is] here.
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a
person, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest,
and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came
out; and when he is come, he findeth [it] empty, swept, and garnished.
Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than
himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last [state] of that person
is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
Matt. 12:46-50, Mark
3:31-35, Luke 8:19-21
While He yet talked to the people, behold,
[His] mother and His brethren stood without, desiring to speak with Him, could
not come at Him for the press. [And
they} sent unto Him, calling Him.
And the multitude sat about Him, and they said
unto Him, Behold, Thy mother and Thy brethren stand without and seek for thee,
desiring to speak with Thee.
But He answered and said unto him that told
Him, Who is My mother? and who are My brethren?
And He looked round about on them which sat
about Him, and stretched forth His hand toward His disciples, and said, Behold
My mother and My brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of My Father Which
is in heaven, the same is My brother, and sister, and mother.
The same day went Yahshua out of the house,
and sat by the sea side and began again to teach.
And great multitudes were gathered together
unto Him, so that He went into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole
multitude stood on the land by the sea.
And He spake and taught many things unto them in
parables, and said unto them in His doctrine, Hearken; Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
And it came to pass, when he sowed, some
[seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured them
up:
Some fell upon stony places, where they had
not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of
earth:
And when the sun was up, they were scorched;
and because they had no root, they withered away.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns
sprung up, and choked them and [they] yielded no fruit:
But other fell into good ground, and brought
forth fruit that sprang up and increased and brought forth, some an
hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
And He said unto them, Who hath ears to hear,
let him hear.
And when He was alone, they that were about
Him with the twelve asked of Him the parable.
He said unto them, Unto you it is given to
know the mystery of the
And the disciples came, and said unto Him, Why
speakest Thou unto them in parables?
He answered and said unto them, Because it is
given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it
is not given.
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and
he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken
away even that he hath.
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because
they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of
Esaias, which saith, "By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand;
and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and
[their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any
time they should see with [their] eyes and hear with [their] ears, and should
understand with [their] heart, and they should be converted, and [their] sins
should be forgiven them, and I should heal them".
But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and
your ears, for they hear.
For verily I say unto you, That many prophets
and righteous [ones] have desired to see [those things] which ye see, and have
not seen [them]; and to hear [those things] which ye hear, and have not heard
[them].
And He said unto them, Know ye not this
parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
The sower soweth the word. When any one heareth the word of the
kingdom, and understandeth [it] not, then cometh
Satan, and catcheth away that which was sown in his
heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
But he that received the seed into stony
places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
Yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a
while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth
because of the word, by and by he is offended.
He also that received seed among the thorns is
he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of
riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
But he that received seed into the good ground
is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it];
which also beareth fruit, and bringeth
forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
And He said unto them, Is a candle brought to
be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested;
neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.
And He said unto them, Take heed what ye hear:
with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear
shall more be given. For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath
not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
And He said, So is the
And should sleep, and rise night and day, and
the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not
how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself;
first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
But when the fruit is brought forth,
immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the
harvest is come.
Another parable put He forth unto them,
saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a one which sowed good seed in
his field:
But while people slept, his enemy came and
sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
But when the blade was sprung up, and brought
forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
So the servants of the householder came and
said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then
hath it tares?
He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.
The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the
tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the
harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye
together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the
wheat into my barn.
Another parable put He forth unto them,
saying, whereunto shall we liken the
Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but
when it is sown, it groweth up, and it is the
greatest among herbs, and shooteth out great branches
becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come
and lodge in the branches and the shadow thereof.
Another parable spake He unto them; The
kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three
measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
And with many such parables spake He the word
unto them, as they were able to hear [it].
All these things spake Yahshua unto the
multitude in parables; and without a parable spake He not unto them: and when
they were alone, He expounded all things to His disciples.
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by
the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things
which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
Then Yahshua sent the multitude away, and went
into the house: and His disciples came unto Him, saying, Declare unto us the
parable of the tares of the field.
He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the
world; the good seed are the sons of the kingdom; but the tares are the sons of
the wicked [one]; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the
end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned
in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
The Son of man shall send forth His angels,
and they shall gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and them which
do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing
and gnashing of teeth.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the
sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto
treasure hid in a field; the which when one hath found, he hideth,
and for joy thereof goeth and selleth
all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a
merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great
price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a
net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when it was
full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but
cast the bad away.
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels
shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among The just, and shall cast them
into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Have ye understood all these things? They say
unto Him, Yea.
Then said He unto them, Therefore every scribe
[which is] instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is]
an householder, which bringeth forth out of his
treasure [things] new and old.
Matt. 13:53, Mark 4:35-41,
Luke 8:22-25
And it came to pass, [that] when Yahshua had
finished these parables, He departed thence.
And the same day, when the even was come, He
went into a ship with His disciples: and He saith unto them, Let us pass over
unto the other side of the lake.
And when they had sent away the multitude,
they took Him even as He was in the ship. And there were also with Him other
little ships. And they launched forth.
But as they sailed, He fell asleep: and there
arose a great storm of wind on the lake, and the waves beat into the ship, so
that it was now filled with water, and [they] were in jeopardy.
And He was in the hinder part of the ship,
asleep on a pillow: and they awake Him, and say unto him, Master, Master, cares
Thou not that we perish?
And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said
unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
And He said unto them, Why are ye so fearful?
how is it that ye have no faith?
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to
another, What manner of man is this! for He commmandeth
even the wind and the sea, and they obey Him.
And they came over unto the other side of the
sea, into the country of the Gadarenes, which is over
against
And when He was come out of the ship and went
forth to land, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a certain man which
had an unclean spirit long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any
house,
But had [his] dwelling among the tombs; and no
one could bind him, no, not with chains: Because that he had been often bound
with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and
the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any [one] tame him.
And he was driven of the devil into the
wilderness and always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the
tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
But when he saw Yahshua afar off, he ran and
worshipped Him,
And cried with a loud voice, and said, What
have I to do with Thee, Yahshua, Thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure Thee
by God, that Thou torment me not.
For He said unto him, Come out of the man,
[thou] unclean spirit.
And Yahshua asked him, saying, What [is] thy
name? And he answered, saying, My name [is] Legion: for we are many; for many
devils were entered into him. And he besought Him much that He would not send
them away out of the country and into the deep.
Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a
great herd of swine feeding. And all the devils besought Him, saying, Send us
into the swine, that we may enter into them.
And forthwith Yahshua gave them leave. And the
unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran
violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and
were choked in the sea.
And they that fed the swine saw what was done
and fled, and told [it] in the city, and in the country. And they went out to
see what it was that was done.
And they come to Yahshua, and see him that was
possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his
right mind: and they were afraid.
And they that saw [it] told them how it befell
to him that was possessed with the devil and by what means he was healed, and
[also] concerning the swine.
And the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about began to pray Him to depart out of
their coasts; for they were taken with great fear. And he went up into the ship
and returned back again.
And when He was come into the ship, he that
had been possessed with the devil prayed Him that he might be with Him.
Howbeit Yahshua suffered him not, but saith
unto him, Go home to thy friends and to thine own house, and tell them how
great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
And He departed, and began to publish in
And it came to pass, that, when Yahshua passed
over again by ship unto the other side and was returned, much people gathered
unto Him, and the people gladly received Him: for they were all waiting for
Him. And He was nigh unto the sea
And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of
the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw Him,
he fell at His feet, and besought Him that he would come into his house,
saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of
death: [I pray Thee], come and lay Thy hands on her, that she may be healed;
and she shall live.
And [Yahshua] went with him; and much people
followed Him, and thronged Him.
And a certain woman, which had an issue of
blood twelve years,
And had suffered many things of many
physicians, and had spent all her living upon physicians, and was not healed of
any, but rather grew worse,
When she had heard of Yahshua, came in the
press behind, and touched the border of His garment. For she said, If I may
touch but His clothes, I shall be whole.
And straightway the fountain of her blood was
dried up; and she felt in [her] body that she was healed of that plague.
And Yahshua, immediately knowing in Himself
that virtue had gone out of Him, turned Him about in the press, and said, Who
touched My clothes?
When all denied, Peter and His disciples that
were with Him said unto Him, Thou seest the multitude
thronging Thee and pressing Thee, and sayest Thou,
Who touched Me?
And Yahshua said, Somebody hath touched Me:
for I perceive that virtue is gone out of Me.
And He looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing
what was done in her and that she was not hid, came and fell down before Him,
and told Him before all the people for what cause she had touched Him and how
she was healed immediately.
And He said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath
made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
While He yet spake, there came one from the
ruler of the synagogue's house which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
