18. The coming forth [Numbers 24:17.  Micah 5:1] of Yeshûa` [transliterated into English - Yeshuwa`] Mashiyach was in this way: It came to pass when his [foster] mother was engaged to be married to Yhowceph, before he had intercourse with her, she was found surrogating with a spirit of The Holy One [Genesis 1:3. Psalm 2:7. Matthew 2:6. John 3:13.  James 1:17].
19. Yhowceph was a righteous man and did not wish to dwell with her nor to expose her by bringing her to shame nor to bind her over to death. He instead wished to conceal her.
20. While he thought on this matter in his heart, behold an angel appeared to him in a dream and said: "Yhowceph ben David do not fear to take Miriam as your wife because she is surrogating with a spirit of The Holy One" [Genesis 1:3. Psalm 2:7. Matthew 2:6. John 3:13.  James 1:17].
21. "She will deliver a Son [Psalm 2:7.  Micah 5:1]  and you will call his name Yeshuwa` because he will save My people [Isaiah 53:8] from their sins".
24. Then Yhowceph awoke from his sleep, did according to all which the angel of YeHVaH commanded him, and took her as his wife.
25. But he did not have intercourse with her until she delivered her [foster] Son - the Firstborn [ Proverbs 8:22]-  and he called his name Yeshuwa`.

CHAPTER TWO

1. It came to pass when Yeshuwa' Mashiyach had come forth [Numbers 24:17.  Micah 5:1. 1 John 4:2] in Bethlehem of Yehudah in the days of Herod the king, behold wise princes [Hebrew: kowkabiym (Lit: burning and shining lights.  See Daniel 12:3] came from the East [Psalm 72:10] to Yerushalem
2. saying: 'Where is the king of the Yehudiym who has come forth? We have seen his Star [Messenger (Numbers 24:17.  Revelation 22:16)] in the East and we have come with important gifts to do homage to him'.
3. Herod the king heard and was dismayed and all the inhabitants of Yerushalem with him.
4. So he gathered his nobles and inquired from them if they knew where haMashiyach would be coming forth.
5. They answered him: 'In Bethlehem Yehudah, as it is written according to the prophet:
6. "But you Bethlehem Ephrathah, behold you are insignificant among the tribes of Yehudah; from you shall come forth Mine [Psalm 2:7], who is to be ruler in Yisrael whose goings forth are from of old, from ancient days." [Micah 5:1].
7. Then King Herod called the wise princes in secret and asked them thoroughly concerning the time the Star [Messenger] appeared to them.
8. He sent them to Bethlehem and said unto them: 'Go and enquire thoroughly concerning the child and when you find him inform me. I also will go to him to do homage'.
9. They listened unto the king and departed and behold the Star [Messenger] which they saw in the East was going before them until they came to the place. When they entered Bethlehem he [the Messenger] stopped before the place where the Boy was.
10. When they saw the Star [Messenger] they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11. They came into the house, found him and his [foster] mother Miriam, bowed before him and did homage to him, opened their sacks and presented to him gifts of gold, frankincence and myrrh {Psalm 72:10].
12. Then they were commanded in a dream by the angel who said to them not to return to Herod; so they returned to their land [Psalm 72:10] by another route.
13. As they were going, behold an angel of YeHVaH appeared unto Yhowceph saying: "Arise, take the Boy and his [foster] mother, flee to Egypt and stay there until I tell you, because Herod will seek the Boy to kill him".
14. So he took the Boy and his [foster] mother
15. and was there until Herod died, to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet: Out of Egypt I have called My Son [Hosea 11:1].
16. Then Herod perceived that the wise princes had tricked him and was very displeased. Being grieved at heart, he commanded that word be sent to all his generals to kill all the male children who were in Bethlehem and its borders who had been born from the time when the wise princes spoke to him concerning the coming forth of the Boy.
19. It came to pass when King Herod died, the angel of YeHVaH appeared in a dream to Yhowceph in Egypt
20. saying: "Arise, take the Boy and his [foster] mother and go to the land of Yisrael, because those who were seeking to kill him are dead".
21. So he arose, took the Boy and his [foster] mother, and they returned to the land of Yisrael.
22. Then he heard that Horcanus, his name is Argelaus, reigned in Yehudah in the place of Herod his father, and he was afraid to go there. So the angel urged him in a dream that he should return through the land of Gilgal [Yehoshua (Joshua) 5:6].
23. He came and dwelt in an outpost [Hebrew: iyr] called Naatsaret [See 'Corruptions of Scripture' this website document].

CHAPTER THREE

1. In those days came Yochanan the Immerser  preaching in the wilderness of Yehudah.
2. He said: "Turn in repentance, for the Kingdom of Heaven is about to come" [Daniel 2:44].
3. To fulfil what was said by Isaiah the prophet: "A voice of one calling in the desert: 'Prepare ye the way of YeHVaH, make straight in the wilderness a path for our Elohiym'" [Isaiah 40:3].
4. Behold Yochanan was clothed with the hair of camels and black leather girded his loins and his food was locust and the honey of the forest.
5. Then they came out to him from Yerushalem, from all Yehudah, and from all the kingdom round about the Yarden,
6. and at that time were confessing their sins and were being immersed in the Yarden because of his word.
7. He saw that many of the Pharisees and the Sadducees came to his immersion and he said to them: "Offspring of enchanters (Genesis 3:1. 4:1. Yeremiah 27:9), who taught you to flee from the wrath to come from The Mighty One"?.
8. "Produce the fruit of perfect repentance".
9. "Do not say in your heart: 'Abraham is our father'. Truly I say to you that Elohiym is able to raise up Abraham's son from these stones".
10. "Already the axe has reached the root of the tree; the one which does not produce good fruit will be cut down and burned in the fire". The crowds asked him: 'If so what shall we do'? Yochanan answered them: "He who has two shirts let him give one to him who has none". So the people came to be immersed. Many asked him: 'What shall we do'? And he answered them: "Be concerned for men and do not chastise them, and be pleased with your lot". And all the people were thinking and reckoning in their circumcised heart: 'Yochanan is HaMashiyach'.
11. Yochanan answered all of them: "Behold I truly immerse you in the days of repentance, but another comes mightier than I, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to unfasten. He will immerse you in the fiery spirit of The Holy One".
12. "His winnowing fork is in his hand to fan his threshing floor [Isaiah 21:10] and he will gather the grain into his granary and the straw he will burn with fire which is not quenched".
13. Then came Yeshuwa' from Galilee to the Yarden to be immersed by Yochanan.
14. But Yochanan was doubtful about immersing him and said to him: "I should be immersed by you, and you come to me?"
15. Yeshuwa' answered and said to him: "Permit it, because we are obliged to perform [Psalm 61:9] all righteousness"; then Yochanan immersed him.
16. Immediately when he came up from the water, the heavens were opened to him and he saw the spirit of YeHVaH coming down in the likeness of a dove and it dwelt upon him.
17. Then behold a voice from Heaven was saying: "This is My Son, My beloved, he is loved very very much and my delight is in him".

CHAPTER FOUR

1. Then Yeshuwa' was taken by the spirit of The Holy One into the wilderness to be tempted by Satan.
2. He fasted forty days and forty nights and afterwards was hungry.
3. The tempter drew near and said to him: 'If you are the Son of Elohiym say that these stones should turn into bread'.
4. Yeshuwa' answered and said to him: It is written: "Man does not live by bread only, but by every thing that proceeds out of the mouth of YeHVaH does man live" [Deuteronomy 8:3].
5. Then Satan took him to the holy city, placed him on the highest point in all the temple
6. and said to him: 'If you are the Son of Elohiym, jump down, for it is written': "He will give His angels charge over you to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands lest you dash your foot against a stone" [Psalm 91:11,12].
7. Yeshuwa' answered him, again it is written: "You shall not test YeHVaH your Elohiym" [Deuteronomy 6:16].
8. So Satan took him to an exceedingly high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the earth and their glory
9. and said to him: 'All these things I will give you if you bare your head to me'.
10. Then Yeshuwa' answered him: Go Satan, for it is written:"'I will pray to YeHVaH' [1 Samuel 7:5] and 'Him only you will serve'" [1 Samuel 7:3].
11. Then Satan left him and behold angels drew near to him and ministered to him.
12. It came to pass in those days Yeshuwa' heard that Yochanan had been delivered up into prison, so he went into Gilgal [Yehoshua 5:9.  Matthew 2:22].
13. He passed by Naatsaret (Matthew 2:23] and dwelt in Kapar Nachum (Capernaum)-Raithah on the outskirts of the land of Zebulun
14. in order to fulfil that which Isaiah the Prophet said:
15. "...land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali...the way of the sea, beyond the Yarden...Galilee of the Gentiles [Isaiah 8:23].
16. "The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light [Genesis 1:3. Enoch 1:8. 50:1]; those who lived in a land of deep darkness on them light has shined" [Isaiah 9:1].
17. From then on Yeshuwa' began to preach and to say: "Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven has come" [Daniel 2:44. Matthew 3:2].
18. Yeshuwa' went along the shore of the sea of Galilee and saw two brothers, Shimeon and Andreyah his brother casting their nets into the sea, because they were fishermen.
19. He said to them: "Come, follow me and I will make you fish for men".
20. So they left their nets in that hour and followed him.
21. He turned from there and saw two other brothers; Yaakob and Yochanon; brothers who were sons of Zebedeel; and their father in a boat setting up their nets and he called them.
22. They made haste and left their nets and their father and followed after him.
23. Then Yeshuwa' went around the land of Galilee teaching their assemblies and preaching to them the good gift of the 'Kingdom of Heaven' and healing all the sick and every disease among the people.
24. So a report about him went into all the land Syria and they brought unto him all those who were sick from various kinds of diseases, those possessed by demons, those who were terrified by an evil spirit and those who shook, and he healed them.
25. Many followed him from Kapoli and Galilee, from Yerushalem, Yudaea and across the Yarden.

CHAPTER FIVE

1. It came to pass after this; when he saw the crowds; that he went up on the mountain and sat down. Then his disciples came to him
2. and he opened his mouth and spoke to them saying:
3. "Happy [Hebrew:ashar] are the humble of spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven".
4. "Happy are those who wait, for they shall be comforted".
5. "Happy are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth".
8. "Happy are the innocent of heart, for they shall see Elohiym".
9. "Happy are those who pursue peace, for they shall be called sons of Elohiym".
10. "Happy are those who are persecuted for righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven".
11. "Happy are you when they persecute and revile you and say all kinds of evil against you for my sake, but speak falsely".
12. "Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is very great in Heaven; for thus they persecuted the prophets".
13. At that time Yeshuwa' said to his disciples: "You are salt in the world. If the salt is neutralized in regard to its taste with what will it be salted? It is fit for nothing but to be cast outside to be trampled under foot".
14. "You are light in the world. A city built upon a hill cannot be hidden".
15. "They do not light a lamp to place it in a hidden place where it cannot shine; but they place it upon a lamp-stand so that it might shine for all in the house".
16. "Thus let your light shine before every man to show them your good deeds which are praised and glorified before your Father Who is in Heaven".
17. At that time Yeshuwa' said to his disciples: "Do not think that I am come to annul the Torah but to perform [Hebrew: shalem] it [Psalm 61:9.  Deut 18:18)]".
18. "Truly I say to you that until Heaven and Earth depart, not one letter or one niqqud [which means: 'vowel point'] shall be abolished from the Torah, because all will stand [Hebrew:quwm]" [Isaiah 40:8].
19. "He who shall take away from one word of these commandments and shall teach others shall be called 'a vain person' [James 2:20], in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever upholds and teaches shall be called 'great' [Isaiah 53:12] in the Kingdom of Heaven".
20. At that time Yeshuwa' said to his disciples: "Truly I say to you: if your righteousness is not greater than the Pharisees and the scribes, you shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven".
21. "Have you not heard heard what was said to those of old: 'You shall not murder and whoever murders is guilty of a judgement of death'"?
22. "But I say to you, he who angers his companion is guilty of judgement; he who calls his brother inferior shall be guilty of judgement before the congregation; he who calls him a fool is guilty of the fire of Gehinnom".
23. "If you should offer your gift at the altar and remember that you have a quarrel with your companion and he is complaining about you because of this matter",
24. "leave your gifts there before the altar and go to appease him first and afterwards offer your gifts".
25. Then Yeshuwa' said to his disciples: "See that you hasten to appease your enemy while you are walking with him in the way lest he deliver you to the judge and this judge delivers you to the servant to put you into the prison".
26. "Truly I say to you, you will not come out from there until the last piece of money is given".
27. Again he said to them: "You have heard what was said to those of long ago: You shall not commit adultery".
28. "But I say to you that everyone who sees a woman and covets her has already committed adultery with her in his heart".
29. "If your right eye leads you to unbelief in me, pluck it out and cast it from you";
30. "also, if your right hand leads you to unbelief in me (Matthew 11:6), cut it off.  It is better for you to suffer the loss of one of your limbs than all of your person (body and soul) in Gehinnom (Matthew 10:28)".
31. Again Yeshuwa' said to his disciples: "You have heard what was said to those of long ago that everyone who leaves his wife and puts her away is to give her a bill of divorce" [Isaiah 50:1. Yeremiah 3:1],
32. "And I say to you that everyone who leaves his wife is to give her a bill of divorce. But concerning adultery, he is the one who commits adultery and he who takes her commits adultery".
33. "Again you have heard what was said to those of long ago: You shall not swear by My Name falsely, but you shall return to YeHVaH your oath".
34. "But I say to you not to swear uselessly by anything, neither by Heaven because it is the throne of Elohiym",
35. "nor by Earth because it is the footstool of His feet, nor by Yerushalem because it is the city of Elohiym".
36. "nor by your head for you are not able to make one hair white or black".
37. "But let your words be 'yes yes' or 'no no'. Everything in addition to this is evil".
38. "Again you have heard what is said in the Torah: eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot" [Exodus 21:24].
39. "But I say to you, do not repay evil for evil; but he who smites your right cheek provide for him the left".
40. "He who wishes to oppose you in judgement and to rob your shirt, leave to him your garment".
41. "He who asks you to go with him a thousand steps, go with him two thousand".
42. "To him who asks from you give and from him who wishes to borrow from you do not hold back".
43. Again Yeshuwa' said to his disciples: "You have heard what was said to those of long ago that you shall love the one who loves you and hate the one who hates you".
44. "But I say to you, love those who hate you and pray for those who persecute you and oppress you",
45. "in order that you might be sons of your Father Who is in Heaven Who causes His sun to shine on the good and evil and causes it to rain on the bad and the just".
46. "If you love those who love you what is your reward? Do not the impudent love those who love them?"
48. "Be you perfect as your Father Who is in Heaven is perfect".

CHAPTER SIX

1. "Beware lest you do your charitable deeds before men that they might praise you; if you do, you will have no reward from your Father Who is in Heaven".
2. Again Yeshuwa' said to them: "When you do charitable deeds do not wish to make a proclamation or blow trumpets before you as the hypocrites, who do their charitable deeds in the streets and in the market-places in order that men might see them. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward already".
3. "But you, when you do charitable deeds, let not your left hand know what your right hand is doing",
4. "in order that your gift might be in secret and your Father Who sees hidden things will reward you".
5. At that time Yeshuwa' said to his disciples: "When you pray do not raise your voice and do not be like the sad hypocrites who love to pray in the synagogues and in the corner of the courtyards and pray with haughty speech that men might hear and praise them. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward already".
6. "But you, when you pray, go to your bedroom, close your doors upon you, and pray to your Father in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you".
7. "So you, when you pray, do not multiply words as the heretics who think that by the multitude of words they will make them heard"
8. "Do you not see that your Father Who is in Heaven knows your words before you ask from Him?"
9. "But thus you shall pray: Our Father, Who art in Heaven, may Your Name be sanctified;"
10. "may Your Kingdom be blessed; may Your will be done in Heaven and on Earth".
11. "Give us our bread continually".
12. "Forgive us our offences as we forgive those who offend against us [Luke 17:4. James 5:16],
13. "and let us not enter into the means of temptation but keep us from all evil. Amane".
14. "If you forgive men their offences, your Father Who is in Heaven will forgive your offences"
15. "But if you do not forgive them He will not forgive you your offences"
16. Again he said to them: "When you fast do not be as the sad hypocrites who make themselves appear sad and who change their faces, to show their fasting before men; truly I say to you, they have already received their reward".
17. "But you when you fast, wash your heads".
18. "that you might not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father Who is in secret, and your Father Who is in secret will reward you".
19. Again he said to them: "Do not keep on heaping up treasures on earth so that decay and grub devour it or thieves dig through and steal them".
20. "Make for yourselves treasures in Heaven where the worm and the grub do not devour them and where thieves do not dig through and steal them".
21. "In the place where your treasure is there will be your heart".
22. "The lamp of your body is your eyes. If your eyes look straight ahead your body shall not be dark".
23. "If your eyes grow dim your whole body will become dark; and if the light which is in you becomes dark, all your ways will be dark".
24. At that time Yeshuwa' said to his disciples: "No one is able to serve two masters except he who hates the one and loves the other, or he honours the one and despises the other; you cannot serve The Mighty One and the world".
25. "Therefore I say to you: "Do not be anxious for the food for your souls nor for the clothing for your body, because the soul is more precious than food and the body than clothing."
26. "Behold the birds of the sky which sow not nor reap nor gather into barns, but your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not more precious than they?"
27. "Who among you, of those who are anxious, is able to add to his height one cubit?"
28. "If this is the case, why are you anxious for clothes? Behold the lilies of Sharon in growing they neither spin nor weave".
29. "But I say to you that King Solomon, in all his glory, was not clothed like these".
30. "If The Mighty One clothes the straw which is left in the standing grain, which is fresh today and tomorrow is dried up and is placed into the oven, so much the more will He clothe you who are little of faith"
31. "If The Mighty One so thinks of you, do not be anxious saying what shall we eat and what shall we drink?"
32. "because all these things the bodies require. But your Father Who is in Heaven knows that you need all these things".
33. "Make request first on behalf of the Kingdom of Elohiym and of His righteousness (Matthew 6:10) and all these things will be given to you.
34. "Do not be anxious for tomorrow because tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for itself is today with its trouble".

CHAPTER SEVEN

1. "Judge not lest you be judged".
2. "With what judgement you judge and with what measure you use, it will be measured to you".
3. "Why do you see the straw in the eyes of the other person but not see the beam in your own eyes"
4. "How is it that you say to the other person: 'Wait for me awhile and I will cast the straw out of your eyes', and behold the beam is in your own eyes?"
5. "Hypocrite, first cast the beam out of your eyes and afterwards you will cast the straw out of the eyes of your fellowman"
6. Again he said to them: "Do not give holy flesh to dogs nor place your pearls before swine lest they chew them before you and turn to tear you to pieces".
7. "Ask from The Mighty One and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you".
8. "Everyone who asks will receive, by the one who seeks it will be found, and to the one who calls it will be opened"
9. "Who is there among you whose son asks him for a piece of bread and he gives him a stone?"
10. "Or if he should ask for a fish, he gives him a snake?"
11. "But if you being evil come to place give good gifts before yourselves, so much the more your Father Who is in Heaven will give His good spirit to those who seek Him".
12. "Everything you wish that men should do to you, do to them; this is the Torah and the words of the prophets".
13. At that time Yeshuwa' said to his disciples: "Enter in the narrow door  because the way of destruction is wide and deep [Genesis 1:2. Revelation 2:24], and many are going through it"
14. "How narrow is the door and honourable the Way that leads straight to life and few are those who find it"
15. Again he said to them: "Beware of false prophets who come to you in wool clothing like sheep, but inside are tearing wolves"
16. "By their deeds you will know them. Does a man gather grapes from thorns or figs from briars?"
17. "Every good tree brings forth good fruit and every bad tree brings forth bad fruit"
18. "The good tree cannot bring forth bad fruit neither can the bad tree bring forth good fruit"
19. "Every tree which does not produce good fruit is burned in the fire"
20. "Therefore it is according to fruits, that is, by their deeds, you will know them"
21. "Because not everyone who says unto me, ADONAY, will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but, the one who does the will of my Father Who is in Heaven, will enter the Kingdom of Heaven"
22. "Many will say to me in that day, 'ADONAY, ADONAY, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name cast out demons and do many signs in your name'"
23. "Then I will say to them: I never knew you. Depart from me all you workers of iniquity"
24. Again he said to them: "Everyone who hears these words and does them is like a wise man who built his house on a rock".
25. "The rain came down against it, the winds beat it and it did not fall because its foundation was a rock"
26. "Everyone who hears these my words and does not do them is like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand."
27. "The rains came down, the floods came and fell against it and it fell with a great fall".
28. While Yeshuwa' was speaking these words all the people were greatly astonished at his conduct,
29. because he was preaching to them with great power, not as the rest of the scribes".

CHAPTER EIGHT

1. It came to pass when Yeshuwa' came down from the mountain that a great crowd followed him.
2. Then behold a leper came and did homage to him saying: 'Adon, is it your wish to heal me'?
3. Yeshuwa' stretched forth his hand and touched him saying: "I wish that you be cleansed" and in that hour the leper was cleansed from his leprosy.
4. Then Yeshuwa' said to him: "Be careful lest you tell any man, but go to the priest to offer your gifts as Mosheh commanded in your law".
5. It came to pass when he entered Capernaum-hamartha that a captain of hundreds came to him and implored him,
6. saying: 'Adoniy, my son lies in my house with the sickness of contraction and he is weak with the illness'.
7. Yeshuwa' said to him: "I will go and heal him"
8. The captain of hundreds answered and said to him: 'Teacher I am not worthy that you should come under my roof; only make the decision that he might be healed'.
9. 'I am a sinful man and I have authority under the Pharisees and [I have] horses and riders and I say to one of them go and he goes, come and he comes, and to my servants do this and they do it'.
10. Yeshuwa' heard and was amazed and said to those who were following him: "Truly I say to you, I have not found a great belief, in Yisrael, like this".
11. "I say to you that many will come from the East and from the West and will rest with Abraham, Yitzaak and Yaakob in the Kingdom of Heaven":
12. "but the sons of the Kingdom will be cast into the darkness of Gehinnom; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth".
13. Then Yeshuwa' said to the captain of hundreds: "Go; as you have believed, it will be done to you". So the little child was healed at that time.
14. At that time, Yeshuwa' went into the house of Shimeon and behold his mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever.
15. He touched her hand, and the fever left her. Then she arose and ministered to him.
16. At the time of evening they brought to him those seized by demons and he healed them by his word alone and he healed every sickness.
18. It came to pass after this Yeshuwa' saw many crowds around him and he commanded his disciples to go across the sea.
19. Then a scribe came to him and said to him: 'Teacher I will follow you wherever you go'
20. Yeshuwa' answered him: "The foxes have holes and the birds have nests, but the Son of Man, the Son of the virgin, has no place to enter his head".
21. One of his disciples said to him: 'Allow me to go and bury my father'
22. Yeshuwa' said to him: "Follow me and let the dead bury their dead".
23. It came to pass when Yeshuwa' entered a boat, his disciples followed him.
24. A great storm came on the sea, and the waves were coming on excessively, and the boat was thought to be breaking up.
25. His disciples came to him and begged him saying: 'O our Adon save us lest we perish'.
26. He said to them: "Why do you look at one another, O you of little faith?". He arose and commanded the sea and the winds that they should be quiet and immediately they became quiet.
27. When the men who were there saw, they marvelled and said: 'Who is this that the winds and the sea do his will'?
28. It came to pass when he crossed over the sea and passed by the region beyond the sea into the realm of the Gaderi, there met him two demon-possessed men coming out of the tombs, raging, so that no man could pass by that way.
29. They cried out to him saying: 'What is between you and us, Yeshuwa' Son of Elohiym?. Have you come before the time to grieve us and to destroy us? Yeshuwa' said to them: "Come out from there, evil host"
30. There, near them, were herds of many swine, feeding.
31. So the demons entreated him: 'Since we have to go out from here, grant us authority to go into these swine.
32. He said to them: "Go". The demons went out from the men and entered the swine, and all the herd went in sudden haste, slipped off into the sea and died in the water.
33. Those who were feeding [the swine] feared, fled, and told everything in the city. So the whole city was frightened.
34. They went out to meet Yeshuwa'. They saw them [the swine] and entreated him not to pass over into their territory.

CHAPTER NINE

1. Then Yeshuwa' entered a boat; they set sail and returned to his city.
2. They brought to him one who was sick with contractions, lying upon his bed. Yeshuwa' saw their faith and said to the sick man: "Have courage my son. It is by faith of The Mighty One that your sins have been forgiven".
3. Some of the scribes were saying in their heart: 'This one blasphemes'.
4. Yeshuwa' saw their thoughts and said to them: "Why do you think evil in your heart?"
5. "Which is easier to say: 'Your sins are forgiven, or, rise walk'?
6. "But to inform you that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins on earth"; then he said to the sick man. "Arise and take your bed and walk".
7. He arose and went to his house.
8. The crowds saw and feared exceedingly, and praised The Mighty One Who had given power to men to do such things.
9. It came to pass when Yeshuwa' passed on from there, he saw a man sitting at the table of exchange: Mattityahu was his name and he said to him: "Follow me". So he arose and followed him.
10. He brought him to his house to eat. It came to pass while he was eating, that behold many violent and evil men were at the table and behold they were dining with Yeshuwa' and his disciples.
11. The Pharisees saw and said to his disciples: Why does your Rabbi sit and eat with violent and evil men?
12. Yeshuwa' heard and said: "The healthy have no need for healing, but the sick".
13. "Go and learn that which is written: 'I desire kindness and not sacrifice'[Hosea 6:6]; I have not come to convert the righteous but the ungodly"
14. Then the disciples of Yochanon came to him and said to him: 'Why do we and the Pharisees fast often but your disciples do not fast'?
15. Yeshuwa' answered them and said: "The friends of the bridegroom cannot weep and fast while he is with them. The days will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast"
16. "No man wastes a piece of new garment on an old garment because the force of the piece stretches the worn out garment and it tears more"
17. "Nor do they put new wine into old vessels lest the vessels break, and the wine spills out and the vessels perish. But, new wine is for new vessels and both of them are preserved".
18. It came to pass when he had spoken to them, a captain approached and did homage to him saying: 'Master, my daughter just died. Please come and place your hand upon her and restore her to life'.
19. Yeshuwa' arose and went, he and his disciples with him.
20. Behold a woman with a flow of blood for twelve years came behind him and touched the fringe of his garment.
21. She was saying in her heart: 'If only I touch his garment. I will immediately be healed'.
22. He turned and said to her: "Courage My daughter [Deuteronomy 18:18].  By YeHVaH, blessed be He, is your healing, because of your belief".  In that same hour she was healed.
23. It came to pass when he entered the house of the captain, he saw many people weeping.
24. He said to them: "Go outside all of you and stop weeping because the girl is asleep and not dead". But in their eyes he was as one who jests. They were saying: 'Have we not seen that she is dead'?.
25. When he had put them outside, Yeshuwa' went to her, touched her hand, and the girl arose.
26. This report went out in all that land.
27. Yeshuwa' passed on from there, and behold two blind men were running after him and crying out to him: 'Have mercy on us, Ben David'.
28. He came to the house, and the blind men drew near to him. He said:
29. "Your belief will heal you"
30. The eyes of the two men were immediately opened and they saw. He commanded them saying: "Be careful lest the matter be made known"
31. As for them they went out and made it known in all that land.
32. Yeshuwa' went out from there, and they brought before him a dumb man who was demon possessed.
33. He cast out the demon so that the dumb man spoke. The crowds were amazed and said: 'We have not seen it like this in Yisrael'.
34. The Pharisees said: 'Truly in the name of demons he casts out demons'.
35. He went around all the cities and towers teaching in the synagogues and preaching the good tidings and healing every illness and every sickness.
36. Yeshuwa' saw the crowds and had pity on them because they were weary and lying like sheep without a shepherd.
37. Then he said to his disciples: "The standing grain is much but the reapers are few".
38 "Entreat, now, ADONAY of the standing grain that He send many reapers to harvest His grain".

CHAPTER TEN

1. Then Yeshuwa' called his twelve disciples and gave them power over every unclean spirit to cast them out from man and to heal every sickness and every plague.
2. These are the names of the twelve apostles: Shimeon and Andreyah his brother.
3. Philipos and Bortholomeos and Yaakob and Yochanon, his brother, sons of Zebedeel. Taowm and Mattityahu, who by reputation was a lender for interest. Yaakob Aluphei and Thaddai.
4. Symeon the Canaanite and Yuda Ascareyotah, who after this betrayed him.
5. These twelve Yeshuwa' sent. He commanded them saying: "To the lands of the Gentiles do not go and do not enter into the cities of the Samaritans".
6. "Go to the sheep who have strayed from the house of Yisrael".
7. "Preach to them that the Kingdom of Heaven has been set up" [Daniel 2:44. Matthew 3:2. 4:17].
8. "Heal the sick, restore life to the dead, cleanse the lepers and cast out demons from men. Do not take wages. Freely you have received, freely you shall give".
9. "Do not heap up silver and gold; nor have wealth in your purse",
10. "nor changes of clothes, nor shoes, nor a staff in your hand. The workman is worthy to receive enough for his food".
11. "In every city and in every tower that you enter ask who is the good man among them and there remain until you go out".
12. "When you enter into the house, give to them a shalom saying: Shalom to this house; shalom to all who dwell in it".
13. "If that house should be worthy, your shalom will come upon it, but if is not worthy, your shalom will return to you".
14. "If one does not receive you or listen to you, you shall go out from that house and shake off the dust from your feet".
15. "Truly I say unto you, it will be better for Sodom and Gomorrah in the judgement day than for that city".
16. "Behold I send you like sheep in the midst of wolves. Be prudent as serpents and humble as doves".
17. "Beware of men. They will not deliver you up in their congregations and houses of assembly",
18. "but to governors and kings. You will be able bear witness on my behalf to them and to the Gentiles".
19. "When they seize you, do not consider what you will say, because in the hour that you are in need an answer will come to you".
20. "It will not be you who speak, but the holy spirit of my Father will speak through you".
21. "Brother will deliver up brother to death and a father his son; the sons will rise up against their fathers and lead them unto death".
22. "You will become a derision and a fright to all the nations because of my name. Whoever endures, however, until the time of the end [Daniel 12:4. 1 Yochanan 2:18] will be saved".
23. Again Yeshuwa' said to his disciples: "When they pursue you in this city flee to another; truly I say to you, you will not have completed for yourselves the cities of Yisrael before the Son of Man comes".
24. "No disciple is greater than his Teacher, nor is the servant greater than his Adon".
25. "It is sufficient for the disciple to be like his Teacher and for the servant to be like his Adon. If they call the Adon of the house Baalzebub, so much the more the sons of his house".
26. "Do not fear them, because there is nothing which will not be seen, nor hidden which will not be made known".
27. "That which I say to you in the darkness, say it in the light; that which you hear by the ear, tell it at the gate [of the Temple]".
28. "Do not fear those who kill bodies, who have no power to kill souls; but fear The One who has power to destroy the soul and the body in Gehinnom" [Isaiah 10:18].
29. "Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin and not one of them will fall to the earth except by the will of your Father Who is in Heaven?"
30. "Are not all the hairs of your head numbered?"
31. "Do not fear, because you are more precious than the sparrows".
32. "He who confeses me before men I will confess before my Father Who is in Heaven".
33. "He who denies me before men, I will deny before my Father Who is in Heaven".
34. In that hour Yeshuwa' said to his disciples: "Do not think that I have come to put peace on the earth, but a sword [A vision of Yochanan 1:16]".
35. "I have come to separate mankind, the son from his father and the daughter from her mother".
36. "The enemy is to be loved ones".
37. "He who loves his father and his mother more than me, I am not suitable for him".
39. "He who loves his life will lose it, he who loses it for my sake will find it".
40. "He who receives you, receives me and he who receives me, receives the One Who sent me".
41. "He who receives a prophet in the name of 'a prophet', will receive the reward of the prophet; he who receives a righteous one in the name of 'a righteous one', will receive the reward of the righteous one".
42. "He who gives a vessel of cold water to one of my little disciples in the name of 'my disciple', truly I say to you that he will not lose his reward".
