Battering Ram (Mark) 4

1 He began to teach again by the seaside: and there a great multitude gathered to Him, so He entered a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

2 There He taught them many things by parables to teach them His doctrine,

3 Listen and ponder: A sower went out to sow:

4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

5 Some fell on stony ground, where it didn’t have much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of dirt:

6 But when the sun came up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

7 Some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

8 Other seed fell on good ground, and yielded fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some a hundred.

9 He said to them: He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

10 When he was alone, those who were around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable.

11 He said to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the Kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven.

13 And He said to them: Do you not understand this parable? and how then will you understand any parables?

14 The sower soweth the word.

15 These are they by the wayside, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Adversary (Satan) comes immediately, and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.

16 Likewise, these are they which are sown on stony ground, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

17 But have no root in themselves and so endure but for a time: but when affliction or persecution arises for the word's sake, they are immediately offended.

18 These are they which are sown among thorns, who hear the word,

19 But the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the lust of other things enter in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

20 Those who are sown on good ground are those who hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty, some sixty, and some an hundredfold.

21 Then He said to them: Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

22 For there is nothing hid, which will not be manifested; neither was anything kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.

24 He said to them, Take heed what you hear: with what measure you give, it will be measured to you: and to you that hear will more be given.

25 For he that has, to him will be given: and he that has not, from him will be taken even that which he has.

26 He continued: The Kingdom of God is as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

27 He sleeps, and rises night and day, and the seed springs and grows up, he does not know how.

28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

29 And when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.

30 He asked: What will we liken the Kingdom of God to? or with what comparison will we compare it?

31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

32 But when it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

33 And with many such parables He spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.

34 He did not speak to them without a parable: but when they were alone, He expounded all things to His disciples.

35 On the same day, when evening came, He said to them: Let us pass over to the other side.

36 When they had sent away the multitude, they took Him on the ship. And there were also with Him other little ships.

37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

38 But He was in the hind part of the ship, asleep on a pillow. They woke Him, and cried to Him: Master, don’t you care that we perish?

39 Then He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Peace, be still. Suddenly the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

40 He said to them: Why are you so fearful? how is it that you have no faith?

41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another: What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?

Battering Ram (Mark) 3

1 Again He entered the synagogue, and there was a man there who had a withered hand.

2 They watched Him, to see if He would heal him on the Sabbath day; that they might accuse Him.

3 So He said to the man who had the withered hand: Stand up.

4 He said to them: Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath days or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

5 Then He looked round-about them with anger, grieved with the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man: Stretch out your hand. He stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

6 The Separate (Pharisees) went out and took counsel with the Herocians (Herodians) against Him, how they might destroy Him.

7 But I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) withdrew Himself with His disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Circuit-District (Galilee) and from Land of Praise (Judaea) followed Him,

8 And from Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), and from Red (Idumaea-Edom), and from beyond The Descender (Jordan); and those from A Rock (Tyre) and Hunter/Fisher (Sidon), a great multitude, when they had heard what great things He did, came to Him.

9 He asked His disciples for a small ship to sit in because of the multitude, lest they should throng Him.

10 Because He had healed many; insomuch that they pressed Him to touch Him, as many as had plagues.

11 Even unclean spirits, when they saw Him, fell down before Him, and cried, saying: You are the Son of God.

12 And He immediately rebuked them that they should not make Him known.

13 Then He went up into a mountain and called to Him those He had chosen: and they came to Him.

14 There He ordained twelve, that they should be with Him, and that He might send them out to preach,

15 And to have the power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils.

16 He surnamed Heard (Simon), Stone (Peter).

17 And Supplanter (James) the son of My Gift (Zebedee), and I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) the brother of Supplanter (James); and He surnamed them Boanerges, which is, Sons of Thunder:

18 Manly (Andrew), Horse Lover (Philip), Son of Plowman (Bartholomew), Gift of I AM (Matthew), Twin (Thomas), Supplanter (James) the son of Changing (Alphaeus), Courageous (Thaddaeus), Heard (Simon) the Humbled One (Canaanite),

19 And Praise (Judas) Man of the City (Iscariot), who also betrayed Him: from there, they went into a house.

20 And the multitude came together again so that they could not so much as eat.

21 When His family heard of it, they went out to lay hold on Him: for they said: He is beside Himself.

22 The scribes who came down from Rain of Peace (Jerusalem) said: He has Lord of the House (Beelzebub), and by the prince of the devils He casts out devils.

23 He called them to Himself, and spoke to them in parables: How can Adversary (Satan) cast out Adversary (Satan)?

24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

26 And if Adversary (Satan) revolts against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand but has an end.

27 No man can enter a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, unless he  first binds the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

28 Truly I say to you: All sins will be forgiven to the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith whomsoever they will blaspheme:

29 But he that blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness. He is in danger of eternal damnation:

30 Because they said, He has an unclean spirit.

31 Then His brethren and His mother, standing outside, sent A message to Him, calling Him.

32 The multitude sitting around Him said to Him: Look, Your mother and Your brothers outside are asking for You.

33 He answered them: Who is My mother, or My brother?

34 HHe looked around Him and said: Behold My mother and My brothers!

35 For whosoever will do the will of God, the same is My brother, and My sister, and mother.

Battering Ram (Mark) 2

1 Again He entered Village of Comfort (Capernaum) after some days, and it was noised about that He was in the house.

2 Straightway many gathered, insomuch that there was no room to receive them. So more gathered around the door: and He preached the word to them.

3 Four men came to Him carrying a man who was paralyzed.

4 When they could not come near Him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed where the paralyzed man lay.

5 When I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) saw their faith, He said to the man who was paralyzed: Son, your sins are forgiven.

6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

7 Why does this man speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?

8 Immediately I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) perceived in His spirit that they reasoned so within themselves, He said to them: Why do you reason these things in your hearts?

9 Which is easier to say to this paralyzed man? Your sins forgiven; or to say, Arise, take up your bed, and walk?

10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins, (He said to paralyzed man,)

11 I say to you: Arise, and take up your bed, and go your way to your house.

12 Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out before them all, they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying: We have never seen anything like this before!

13 Then He went out again by the seaside, and all the multitude came to Him, and He taught them.

14 As He passed by, He saw Joined To (Levi) the son of Changing (Alphaeus) sitting at the tax booth and said to him: Follow me. And he arose and followed Him.

15 As I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) sat to eat in his house, many publicans and sinners also sat with I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) and His disciples: for there were many, and they followed Him.

16 But when the scribes and The Separate (Pharisees) saw Him eat with publicans and sinners, they asked His disciples: Why does He eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

17 When I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) heard it, He said to them: Those that are whole have no need of the physician, but those that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

18 The disciples of I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) and of The Separate (Pharisees) used to fast: and they came and say to Him: Why do the disciples of I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) and of The Separate (Pharisees) fast, but Your disciples do not fast?

19 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered them: Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then will they fast in those days.

21 No man also sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up tears away from the old, and the hole is made worse.

22 No man puts new wine into old bottles: the new wine will burst the bottles, and the wine would spill, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.

23 And it came to pass, that He went through the corn fields on the Sabbath day; and His disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.

24 The Separate (Pharisees) said to Him: Look, why are they breaking the law on the Sabbath day?

25 He answered them: Have you never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, he, and they that were with him?

26 How he went into the house of God in the days of My Father is Great (Abiathar) the high priest, and ate the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat for anyone but the priests, and gave it to those who were with him?

27 Then He said to them: The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath:

28 Therefore the Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath.

Battering Ram (Mark) 1

 1 The beginning of the gospel of I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) Christ, the Son of God.

2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.

3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.

4 I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

5 People came to him from all over the land of Land of Praise (Judaea), and from Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), and were all baptized by him in the river, The Descender (Jordan), confessing their sins.

6 I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) was clothed with camel hair and a girdle of skin about his loins. He ate locusts and wild honey

7 And preached, saying: There comes one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

8 I have baptized you with water: but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.

9 It came to pass in those days, that I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) came from The Guarded One (Nazareth) of Circuit-District (Galilee) and was baptized by I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) in The Descender (Jordan).

10 As He came up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending on Him:

11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying: You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

12 Immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness.

13 He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan. He was with the wild beasts and the angels ministered to Him.

14 Now after that I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) was put in prison, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) traveled around Circuit-District (Galilee), preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God,

15 Saying: The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent and believe the gospel.

16 Now as he walked by the sea of Circuit-District (Galilee), he saw Heard (Simon) and Manly (Andrew) his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen.

17 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to them: Come, follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.

18 Right away they forsook their nets and followed Him.

19 When He had gone a little further, He saw Supplanter (James) the son of My Gift (Zebedee), and I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

20 Right away He called them: and they left their father My Gift (Zebedee) in the ship with the hired servants and went after Him.

21 They went to Village of Comfort (Capernaum). Immediately on the sabbath day He entered the synagogue and taught.

22 They were astonished at His doctrine: He taught them as one who had authority, not as the scribes.

23 There was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out:

24 Let us alone; what have we to do with You, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) of The Guarded One (Nazareth)? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are, the Holy One of God.

25 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) rebuked him: Hold your peace and come out of him.

26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

27 They were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying: What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? He even commands the unclean spirits with authority, and they obey Him.

28 Immediately His fame spread throughout all the region around Circuit-District (Galilee).

29 Then, when they came out of the synagogue, they entered the house of Heard (Simon) and Manly (Andrew), with Supplanter (James) and I AM is a Gracious Giver (John).

30 Now Heard's (Simon) wife's mother lay sick with a fever, and they told Him about her immediately.

31 He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered to them.

32 In the evening, when the sun set, they brought to Him all that were diseased and those that were possessed with devils.

33 All the city gathered at the door.

34 He healed many who were sick with diverse diseases and cast out many devils; and did not permit the devils to speak because they knew Him.

35 In the morning, rising a great while before day, He went out to a solitary place, and there prayed.

36 Heard (Simon) and those who were with Him followed Him.

37 When they found Him, they said to Him: Everyone is looking for You.

38 He said to them: Let’s go into the next towns, that I may preach there also. This is why I came.

39 He preached in the synagogues throughout all Circuit-District (Galilee) and cast out devils.

40 A leper came to Him, begging and kneeling before Him, saying to Him, If You will, You can make me clean.

41 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), moved with compassion, put forth His hand, and touched him, saying to him: I will; be clean.

42 As soon as He had spoken, the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.

43 Then He sternly charged him, and sent him away;

44 Saying to him: See that you say nothing to any man: but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.

45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) could no more openly enter a city but was out in desert places: and they came to Him from every quarter.

Gift of I AM (Matthew) 28

1 At the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Rebellion The Tower (Mary Magdalene) and the other Rebellion (Mary) went to see the sepulcher.

2 And suddenly, there was a great earthquake: because the Angel of the Lord descended from Heaven. He rolled back the stone from the door and sat on it.

3 His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing, white as snow:

4 And for fear of him the keepers shook and became like dead men.

5 Then the angel spoke to the women: Fear not: for I know that you seek I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), who was crucified.

6 He is not here. He has risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7 Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and that He goes before you into Circuit-District (Galilee); there you will see Him: see, I have told you.

8 So they departed quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy; and ran to bring His disciples the news.

9 As they went to tell His disciples, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) met them, saying: Be glad! And they came and held Him by His feet and worshipped Him.

10 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to them: Do not be afraid: go tell My brethren that they are to go into Circuit-District (Galilee), and there will they see Me.

11 After they left, some of the watch went into the city and showed the chief priests all the things that were done.

12 When they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of money to the soldiers,

13 Saying: Tell people His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we slept.

14 If this comes to the governor's ears, we will persuade him and protect you.

15 So they took the money and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Praise (Jews) until this day.

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Circuit-District (Galilee), into a mountain where I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) had appointed them.

17 When they saw Him, they worshipped Him: but some doubted.

18 And I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) came and spoke to them, saying: All power is given to Me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you: and know, I am with you always, even to the end of the world. Amen.

Gift of I AM (Matthew) 27

1 When the morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) to put Him to death:

2 Then they bound Him, led Him away, and delivered Him to Son of the Sea Armed with a Spear (Pontius Pilate), the governor.

3 Then Praise (Judas), who had betrayed Him, when He saw that He was condemned, repented, and brought the thirty pieces of silver back to the chief priests and elders,

4 Saying: I have sinned in that I have betrayed innocent blood. They retorted: What is that to us? That’s your problem.

5 Then he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed and went and hanged himself.

6 So the chief priests took the silver pieces and said: It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.

7 Then they took counsel, and bought the potter's field with it, to bury strangers in.

8 Therefore that field is called, The Field of Blood, to this day.

9 This fulfilled that which was spoken by Whom Jehovah Has Appointed (Jeremiah) the prophet: And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of Him that was valued, whom they of the children of God Prevails (Israel) did value.

10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

11 As I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) stood before the governor: and the governor asked Him: Are You the King of the Praise (Jews)? I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to him: You say so.

12 Then He was accused by the chief priests and elders, and He didn’t answer.

13 Then Armed with a Spear (Pilate) pressed Him: Do You hear how many things they witness against you?

14 But Jesus did not answer a word; causing the governor to marvel greatly.

15 Now at that feast the governor traditionally released to the people a prisoner, whom they chose.

16 At that time they had a notable prisoner, called Son of a Father (Barabbas).

17 Therefore, when they were gathered together, Armed with a Spear (Pilate) said to them: Who do you want me to release to you? Son of a Father (Barabbas), or I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) who is called Anointed (Messiah, Christ)?

18 Because he knew that out of envy they had delivered Him.

19 When he sat down on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message saying: Have nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of Him.

20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude to ask for Son of a Father (Barabbas), and destroy I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua).

21 The governor answered them: Which of the two do you want me to release to you? They answered: Son of a Father (Barabbas).

22 Armed with a Spear (Pilate) said to them: What will I do then with I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) who is called Anointed (Messiah, Christ)? They all shouted back to him: Let Him be crucified!

23 Then the governor asked: Why, what evil has He done? But they cried out all the more, saying: Let Him be crucified!

24 When Armed with a Spear (Pilate) saw that he could not prevail, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see to it.

25 Then all the people answered: His blood be on us, and on our children.

26 Then he released Son of a Father (Barabbas) to them: and when he had scourged I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), he delivered Him to be crucified.

27 Then the soldiers of the governor took I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) into the common hall and gathered the whole band of soldiers around Him.

28 They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29 Then they wove a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand: and they bowed the knee before Him, and mocked Him, saying, Hail, King of the Praise (Jews)!

30 Then they spit on Him, took the reed, and hit Him on the head.

31 After they mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own raiment on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.

32 And as they came out, they found a man from Supremacy of the Bridle (Cyrene), Heard (Simon) by name:  and they compelled him to bear His cross.

33 And when they came to a place called The Skull (Golgotha),

34 They gave Him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when He had tasted it, He would not drink.

35 And they crucified Him, and parted His garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: They parted My garments among them, and on My vesture did they cast lots.

36 Then they sat down and watched Him there;

37 Set up over His head His accusation was written: This Is I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), The King Of The Praise (Jews).

38 There were two thieves crucified with Him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

39 And those who passed by reviled Him, wagging their heads,

40 Saying: You that destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save Yourself. If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.

41 Likewise also the chief priests mocked Him, with the scribes and elders, saying:

42 He saved others but he cannot save Himself. If He is the King of God Prevails (Israel), let Him come down from the cross now, and we will believe Him.

43 He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him: He said: I am the Son of God.

44 The thieves also, who were crucified with Him, cast the same in His teeth.

45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land to the ninth hour.

46 About the ninth hour I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why have you forsaken Me?

47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said: This man calleth for My God is I Am (Elijah).

48 And straightway one of them ran, took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to Him to drink.

49 The rest said: Let it be, let us see whether My God is I Am (Elijah) will come to save Him.

50 Then, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

51 At that moment, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks split;

52 Graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints who slept arose,

53 They came out of the graves after His resurrection, went into the Holy City, and appeared to many.

54 Now when the centurion, and those who were with him, watching I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), saw the earthquake, and those things that happened, they feared greatly, saying: Truly this was the Son of God.

55 Many women were there watching from far off, who followed I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) from Circuit-District (Galilee), ministering to Him:

56 Among which was Rebellion The Tower (Mary Magdalene), and Rebellion (Mary) the mother of Supplanter (James) and Exalted (Joses), and the mother of My Gift’s (Zebedee’s) children.

57 When the evening came, there a rich man of A Height (Arimathaea) named I AM Will Add (Joseph) came. He also was I AM is Our Salvation’s (Yeshua’s) disciple:

58 He went to Armed With a Spear (Pilate) and begged the body of I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua). Then Armed With a Spear (Pilate) commanded the body to be delivered to him.

59 When I AM Will Add (Joseph) had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth.

60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock. He rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher and departed.

61 Rebellion The Tower (Mary Magdalene), and the other Rebellion (Mary), were sitting over against the sepulcher.

62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and The Separate (Pharisees) came together to Armed With a Spear (Pilate),

63 Saying: Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while He was yet alive: After three days I will rise again.

64 Therefore command that the sepulcher be made sure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night, and steal Him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error will be worse than the first.

65 Armed With a Spear (Pilate) said to them: You have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as you can.

66 So they went to make the sepulcher sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

Gift of I AM (Matthew) 26

 1 When I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) had finished all these sayings, He said to His disciples:

2 You know that in two days is the Feast of the Passover, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to be crucified.

3 Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled together, at the palace of the high priest, who was called As Comely (Caiaphas).

4 There, they consulted concerning how they might take I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) by subtilty and kill Him.

5 But they said: Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

6 Now when I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) was in House of Dates (Bethany), in the house of Heard (Simon) the leper,

7 A woman came to Him with an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on His head, as He sat to eat.

8 But when His disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying: To what purpose is this waste?

9 This ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.

10 When I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) understood it, He said to them: Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a good work for Me.

11 You will have the poor with you always, but Me you will not always have.

12 She has poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

13 Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done, will be told for a memorial of her.

14 Then one of the twelve, called Praise (Judas) Man of the City (Iscariot), went to the chief priests,

15 And said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver Him to you? So they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

16 From that time on he sought an opportunity to betray Him.

17 Now on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) and asked Him: Where do you want us to prepare to eat the Passover?

18 He answered: Go into the city to such a man and say to him: The Master said: My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.

19 The disciples did as I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) had instructed them, and they prepared the Passover.

20 Now when the evening came, He sat down with the twelve.

21 As they ate, He said: Truly I say to you, that one of you will betray Me.

22 They were exceeding sorrowful, and every one of them began to say to him: Lord, is it I?

23 He answered: He that dips his hand with Me in the dish, the same will betray Me.

24 The Son of Man goes as it is written of Him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! it would have been good for that man if he had not been born.

25 Then Praise (Judas), who betrayed Him, answered saying: Master, is it I? He said to Him: You have said.

26 As they were eating, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) took bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying: Take, eat; this is My body.

27 Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying: Drink all of it.

28 For this is My blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

29 But I say to you, I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom.

30 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

31 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to them: All of you will be offended because of Me tonight: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered abroad.

32 But after I have risen again, I will go before you into Circuit-District (Galilee).

33 Stone (Peter) answered him: Though all men will be offended because of You, yet I will never be offended.

34 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to Him: Truly I say to you, that this night, before the cock crow, you will deny Me three times.

35 Stone (Peter) said to Him: Though I should die with You, yet I will not deny You. And all the disciples said the same thing.

36 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) went with them to a place called Oil Press (Gethsemane), and said to the disciples: Sit here, while I go and pray yonder.

37 He took with Him Stone (Peter) and the two sons of My Gift (Zebedee) and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

38 Then He said to them: My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death: wait here, and watch with Me.

39 He went a little farther, fell on His face, and prayed, saying: O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.

40 He came back to the disciples, found them asleep, and said to Stone (Peter): What, could you not watch with Me one hour?

41 Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying: O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from Me, except I drink it, Your will be done.

43 He came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

44 So He left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

45 Then He came to His disciples, and said to them: Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that will betray Me.

47 As He spoke, Praise (Judas), one of the twelve, came, and with him were a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

48 Now the one who betrayed Him gave them a sign, saying: Whoever I kiss, that is He: hold Him fast.

49 He came to I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) and said: Hail, master; and kissed Him.

50 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to him: Friend, why have you come? Then they came, and laid hands on I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) and took Him.

51 Then, one of them who were with I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) stretched out his hand, drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

52 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to him: Put up your sword away: for all that take the sword will perish with the sword.

53 Do you think that I cannot now pray to my Father, and He will give Me more than twelve legions of angels?

54 But how then will the scriptures that must be fulfilled happen?

55 In that same hour, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to the multitudes: Have you come out as against a thief with swords and staves to take Me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and you did not arrest Me.

56 But all this was done so that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.

57 And those that had laid hold on I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) led Him away to As Comely (Caiaphas), the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

58 But Stone (Peter) followed him afar off to the high priest's palace, went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), to put Him to death.

60 But they found none, though many false witnesses came, yet they found none. At last, two other false witnesses came,

61 Who said: This fellow said: I am able to destroy the temple of God and build it again in three days.

62 At that, the high priest arose, and demanded of Him: Are You not going to answer? Are these accusations against You true?

63 But I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) held His peace, The high priest questioned Him: I adjure you by the living God, tell us whether You are the Anointed (Messiah, Christ), the Son of God.

64 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to him: You have said: nevertheless, I say to you, Hereafter will you see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power and coming in the clouds of Heaven.

65 Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, He has spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? Look, now you have all heard His blasphemy.

66 What do you think? They answered and said: He is guilty of death.

67 Then they spit in his face, and hit Him with their fists; and others hit Him with the palms of their hands,

68 Saying, Prophesy to us, You Anointed (Messiah, Christ), Who is it that hit you?

69 Now Stone (Peter) sat outside in the palace courtyard: and a damsel came to him, saying: You also were with I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) of Circuit-District (Galilee).

70 But he denied it before them all, saying: I don’t know what you are saying.

71 And when he went out to the porch, another maid saw him and said to those who were there: This fellow was also with I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) of The Guarded One (Nazareth).

72 Again he denied with an oath: I do not know the man.

73 And after a while those that stood by came to him and said to Stone (Peter): Surely you also are one of them; for your speech betrays you.

74 Then he began to curse and to swear, saying: I don’t know the man. And immediately the cock crew.

75 Then Stone (Peter) remembered the word of I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), who said to him: Before the cock crow, you will deny me three times. And he went out and wept bitterly.
