Light-Giving (Luke) 11

 ¹It came to pass that as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as I AM is a Gracious Giver (I AM is a Gracious Giver (John)) also taught his disciples.”

² So He said to them, “When you pray, say, Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

³ Give us this day our daily bread.

⁴ Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.”

⁵ Then He said to them, “Which of you will have a friend, and will go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves;

⁶ For a friend of mine in his journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?

⁷ And he from within will answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you.

⁸ I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity, he will rise and give him as much as he needs.

⁹ And I say to you, Ask and keep on asking, and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking, and you will find; knock and keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you.

¹⁰ For everyone that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it will be opened.

¹¹ If a son asks for bread of any of you who is a father, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead?

¹² Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

¹³ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?”

¹⁴ He was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb person spoke; and the people wondered.

¹⁵ But some of them said, He casts out devils through Lord of the Flies (Beelzebub), the chief of the devils.

¹⁶ And others, tempting Him, sought a sign from heaven from Him.

¹⁷ But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falls.

¹⁸ If Adversary (Satan) is also divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? because you say that I cast out devils through Lord of the Flies (Beelzebub).

¹⁹ And if I, by Lord of the Flies (Beelzebub), cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore, will they be your judges.

²⁰ But if I, with the finger of God, cast out devils, no doubt the Kingdom of God has come on you.

²¹ When a strong man is armed and keeps his palace, his goods are at peace:

²² But when a stronger than he comes on him, and overcomes him, he takes from him all the armor he trusted in and divides his spoils.

²³ He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathers not with me scatters.

²⁴ When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, I will return to my house from which I came out.

²⁵ And when he comes, he finds it swept and garnished.

²⁶ Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”

²⁷ And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman of the company cried out, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which You have sucked.”

²⁸ But He said, “No, rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”

²⁹ And when the people were gathered thick together, He began to say, “This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there will no sign be given it, but the sign of Dove (Jonah) the prophet.

³⁰ For as Dove (Jonah) was a sign to the Offspring of Ease (Ninevites), so will also the Son of Man be to this generation.

³¹ The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Peace (Solomon); and behold, a greater than Peace (Solomon) is here.

³² The men of Offspring of Ease (Nineveh) will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Dove (Jonah); and behold, a greater than Dove (Jonah) is here.

³³ No man, when he has lit a candle, puts it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light.

³⁴ The light of the body is the eye: therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light; but when your eye is evil, your body also is full of darkness. * idioms for generosity and greed

³⁵ Take heed therefore that the light which is in you is not darkness.

³⁶ If your whole body therefore is full of light, having no part dark, the whole will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle gives you light.”

³⁷ As He spoke, a certain man of The Separate (Pharisees) sought Him to dine with Him: so He went in and sat down to eat.

³⁸ When the Separate (Pharisee) saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner.

³⁹ And the Lord said to him, “You Separates (Pharisees) make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

⁴⁰ You fools, did not He that made the outside make the inside also?

⁴¹ But rather give alms of such things as you have; and behold, all things will be clean to you.

⁴² But woe to you, The Separates (Pharisees)! for you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs and pass over judgment and the love of God: these you ought to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

⁴³ Woe to you, Separates (Pharisees)! for you love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

⁴⁴ Woe to you, scribes and Separates (Pharisees), hypocrites! for you are as graves which are hidden, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.”

⁴⁵ Then one of the lawyers said to Him, “Master, it sounds like You are condemning us also.”

⁴⁶ He answered, “Woe to you also, you lawyers! for you laden men with burdens grievous to be borne, and you yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

⁴⁷ Woe to you! For you build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴⁸ Truly, you bear witness that you approve of the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and you build their sepulchers.

⁴⁹ Therefore also the wisdom of God says, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will slay and persecute:

⁵⁰ That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

⁵¹ From the blood of Abel to the blood of Remembered by I AM (Zacharias) who perished between the altar and the temple: Truly I say to you, it will be required of this generation.

⁵² Woe to you, lawyers! for you have taken away the key to knowledge: you haven’t even entered yourselves, and those that were entering, in you hindered.”

⁵³ As He said these things to them, the scribes and The Separates (Pharisees) began to urge Him vehemently, and to provoke Him to speak of many things:

⁵⁴ Lying in wait for Him, and seeking to catch something out of His mouth, that they might accuse Him.

Light-Giving (Luke) 10

 ¹ After these things, the Lord appointed another seventy also and sent them by twos before Him into every city and place He was planning to visit.

² Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: therefore, pray the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth laborers into His harvest.

³ Go your ways: behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

⁴ Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man on your way.

⁵ Into whatsoever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’

⁶ And if the son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it: if not, it will turn to you again.

⁷ Remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Do not go from house to house.

⁸ Whenever you enter a city, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

⁹ Heal the sick that are therein, and say to them, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near you.’

¹⁰ But into whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into the streets of the same, and say,

^11 ‘Even the very dust of your city, which cleaves on us, we wipe off against you: notwithstanding, be sure of this, that the Kingdom of God has come near to you.’

¹² I say to you, that it will be more tolerable in that day for Burning (Sodom), than for that city.

¹³ Woe to you, Furnace of Smoke (Chorazin)! Woe to you, House of Fish (Bethsaida)! for if the mighty works had been done in A Rock (Tyre) and Hunter/Fisher (Sidon), which have been done in you, they would have repented a great while ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

¹⁴ But it will be more tolerable for A Rock (Tyre) and Hunter/Fisher (Sidon) at the judgment, than for you.

¹⁵ And you, Village of Comfort (Capernaum), who are exalted to heaven, will be thrust down to hell.

¹⁶ He that hears you hears Me; and he that despises you despises Me; and he that despises Me despises Him who sent Me.”

¹⁷ The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the devils are subject to us through Your name.”

¹⁸ And He said to them, “I beheld Adversary (Satan) as lightning fall from heaven.

¹⁹ Behold, I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing will by any means hurt you.

²⁰ Notwithstanding, do not rejoice that the spirits are subject to you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.”

²¹ In that hour I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) rejoiced in spirit, and said, “I thank You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in Your sight.

²² All things are delivered to Me by My Father: and no man knows who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal Him.”

²³ And he turned to his disciples, and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see:

²⁴ For I tell you, many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which you see and have not seen them; and to hear those things which you hear, and have not heard them.”

²⁵ And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tested Him, saying, “Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

²⁶ I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) asked him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”

²⁷ He answered, “You will love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”

²⁸ I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) confirmed him, “You have answered right: this do, and you will live.

²⁹ But he, wanting to justify himself, said to I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), “And who is my neighbor?”

³⁰ I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered, “A certain man went down from Rain of Peace (Jerusalem) to Its Moon (Jericho), and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

³¹ By chance, a certain priest came by that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

³² And likewise a Joined To (Levite), when he was at the place, came and looked at him, and passed by on the other side.

³³ But a certain Watch Mountainian (Samaritan), as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him.

³⁴ He went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

³⁵ And the next day, when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said to him, “Take care of him; and whatever you spend more, when I come again, I will repay you.”

³⁶ Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to him that fell among the thieves?”

³⁷ He answered, “He that shewed mercy on him.” Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to him, “Go, and do likewise.”

³⁸ Now it came to pass, as they went, that He entered a certain village: and a woman named She Was Rebellious (Martha) received Him into her house.

³⁹ And she had a sister called Rebellion (Mary), who also sat at I AM is Our Salvation's (Yeshua’s) feet, and heard His word.

⁴⁰ But She Was Rebellious (Martha) was cumbered about much serving, and came to Him, and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me.”

⁴¹ I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered her, “She Was Rebellious (Martha), She Was Rebellious (Martha), you are careful and troubled about many things:

⁴² But one thing is needful: Rebellion (Mary) has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

Light-Giving (Luke) 9

 1 Then He called His twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

² And He sent them to preach the Kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

³ He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, nor money; neither have two coats apiece.

⁴ Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave.

⁵ Whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”

⁶ So they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.

⁷ Now Heroic (Herod), the tetrarch, heard of all that He was doing: and he was perplexed, because it was said by some, that that I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) was risen from the dead;

⁸ And by others, that My God is I Am (Elijah) had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

⁹ Heroic (Herod) said, “I beheaded I AM is a Gracious Giver (John): but who is this, of whom I hear such things?” And he desired to see Him.

¹⁰ The apostles returned and told Him all that they had done. He took them and went aside privately into a desert place near the city called House of Fish (Bethsaida).

¹¹ When the people knew it, they followed Him: and He received them, spoke to them of the Kingdom of God, and healed any that needed healing.

¹² When the day began to wear away, the twelve came and said to Him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get food: for we are here in a desert place.”

¹³ But He said to them, “You give them something to eat.” And they protested, “We have nothing but five loaves and two fish; unless we go and buy food for all these people.”

¹⁴ For there were about five thousand men. So, He said to His disciples, “Make them sit down by fifties in a company.”

¹⁵ So they did so and made them all sit down.

¹⁶ Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁷ They ate, and were all filled: and then they took up the fragments that remained, twelve baskets full!

¹⁸ It came to pass, as He was alone praying and His disciples were with Him: and He asked them, “Who do the people say that I am?”

¹⁹ They answered, “Some say I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) the Baptist; but others say, My God is I Am (Elijah); and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.”

²⁰ He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Stone (Peter) answered, “The Anointed (Messiah, Christ) of God.”

²¹ And He strictly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing,

²² Saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.”

²³ And He said to them all, “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

²⁴ For whosoever will save his life will lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for My sake, the same will save it.

²⁵ For what is a man advantaged, if he gains the whole world, and loses himself, or is cast away?

²⁶ For whoever will be ashamed of Me and of My words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when He will come in His own glory, and in His Father's, and with the holy angels.

²⁷ But I tell you of a truth, there are some standing here, who will not taste of death, till they see the Kingdom of God.”

²⁸ And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, He took Stone (Peter) and I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) and Supplanter (James) and went up into a mountain to pray.

²⁹ As He prayed, the fashion of His countenance was altered, and His clothing was white and glistering.

³⁰ And, behold, two men were talking with Him, who were Drawn (Moses) and My God is I Am (Elijah):

³¹ Who appeared in glory and spoke of His decease, which He should accomplish at Rain of Peace (Jerusalem).

³² But Stone (Peter) and those who were with Him were heavy with sleep: and when they woke up, they saw His glory, and the two men that stood with Him.

³³ As they departed from Him, Stone (Peter) said to I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), “Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for You, and one for Drawn (Moses), and one for My God is I Am (Elijah)”: not knowing what he said.

³⁴ While he spoke this, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered the cloud.

³⁵ And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son: hear Him.”

³⁶ And when the voice was past, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) was found alone. So, they kept it close and told no man in those days any of the things which they had seen.

³⁷ Then on the next day, when they had come down from the hill, many people met Him.

³⁸ And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, “Master, I beg You, look on my son: for he is my only child.

³⁹ A spirit takes him, and he suddenly cries out; and it tears him so that he foams at the mouth, and it bruises him. It hardly departs from him.

⁴⁰ I sought Your disciples to cast him out, but they could not.

⁴¹ I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answering, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long will I be with you, and suffer you? Bring your son here.”

⁴² As he was coming, the devil threw him down and tore him.  I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

⁴³ And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered at all things which I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) did, He said to His disciples,

^44 “Let these sayings sink way down into your ears: for the Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men.”

⁴⁵ But they did not understand this saying. It was hidden from them, so they did not perceive it: and they feared asking Him about that saying.

⁴⁶ Then there arose an argument among them as to which of them should be greatest.

⁴⁷ I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him next to Himself,

⁴⁸ He said to them, “Whosoever will receive this child in My Name receives Me: and whoever receives Me receives He who sent Me: for he that is least among you all, the same will be great.”

⁴⁹ I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) replied, “Master, we saw someone casting out devils in Your Name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.”

⁵⁰ But I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to him, “Do not forbid him: for he that is not against us is for us.”

⁵¹ When the time came that He should be received up, He steadfastly set His face to go to Rain of Peace (Jerusalem),

⁵² Sending messengers before Him. They went and entered a village of Watch Mountain (Samaritans) to get things ready for Him.

⁵³ But they did not receive Him, because He was heading to Rain of Peace (Jerusalem).

⁵⁴ When His disciples, Supplanter (James) and I AM is a Gracious Giver (I AM is a Gracious Giver (John), saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as My God is I Am (Elijah) did?”

⁵⁵ But He turned, and rebuked them, and said, “You don’t know what manner of spirit you are of.

⁵⁶ For the Son of Man has not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.” And they went to another village.

⁵⁷ And it came to pass that, as they went in the way, a certain man said to him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.”

⁵⁸ I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has not where to lay His head.”

⁵⁹ Then He said to another, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”

⁶⁰ I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) replied, “Let the dead bury their dead: but you go and preach the Kingdom of God.”

⁶¹ Another also said, “Lord, I will follow You; but let me first go bid them farewell, who are at home at my house.”

⁶² I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered, “No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.”

Light-Giving (Luke) 8

 1 Afterward, He went throughout every city and village, preaching and demonstrating the glad tidings of the Kingdom of God: and the twelve were with Him,

² There were also certain women, who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Rebellion (Mary) called The Tower (Magdalene), out of whom went seven devils,

³ Grace of God (Joanna), the wife of The Seer (Chuza), Heroic’s (Herod’s) steward, Lilly (Susanna), and many others, who ministered to Him of their substance.

⁴ When many people gathered, coming to Him out of every city, He spoke by a parable:

^5 “A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

⁶ And some fell on a rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

⁷ And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it.

⁸ And others fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit a hundredfold.” When He had said these things, He cried, “He that has ears to hear, let him hear.”

⁹ His disciples asked Him, “What does this parable mean?”

¹⁰ He answered, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see and hearing they might not understand.

¹¹ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

¹² Those by the wayside are those that hear; then comes the devil, and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

¹³ Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but they have no root. For a while, they believe, but in the time of temptation, they fall away.

¹⁴ And those which fell among thorns are they, who when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

¹⁵ But those that fall on the good ground are they who, in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

¹⁶ No man, when he has lit a candle, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but sets it on a candlestick, that they who enter in may see the light.

¹⁷ For there is nothing secret that will not be made manifest; neither anything hid, that will not be known and come abroad.

¹⁸ Take heed therefore how you hear: for whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever has not, from him will be taken even that which he seems to have.”

¹⁹ Then His mother and His brothers came but could not get to Him for the press.

²⁰ A certain person told Him, “Your mother and Your brothers stand without, desiring to see You.

²¹ He answered, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”

²² Now it came to pass on a certain day that He went into a ship with his disciples, and He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” And they launched out.

²³ But as they sailed, He fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water and were in jeopardy.

²⁴ They came to Him, and woke him, saying, “Master, master, we perish.” Then he rose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

²⁵ And He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they, being afraid, wondered, saying one to another, “What manner of man is this! He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him.

²⁶ And they arrived at the country of the Reward at the End (Gadarenes), which is across from Circuit-District (Galilee).

²⁷ When He landed, a certain man out of the city met Him there, who had devils for a long time, who wore no clothes, nor lived in any house, but in the tombs.

²⁸ When he saw I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), he cried out and fell down before Him, and with a loud voice cried, “What have I to do with You, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), You Son of God most high? I beg you, do not torment me.

²⁹ (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Oftentimes it had caught him, and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; but he broke the bands and was driven by the devil into the wilderness.)

³⁰ Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “Legion”: because many devils had entered into him.”

³¹ And they begged Him not to command them to go out into the deep.

³² There was a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: they begged Him to permit them to enter them. So, he permitted them.

³³ Then the devils went out of the man and entered the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake and drowned.

³⁴ When those who fed them saw what was done, they fled and went and told it in the city and in the country.

³⁵ Then they went out to see what was done; and came to I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

³⁶ They were also told by what means he who was possessed of the devils was healed.

³⁷ Then the whole multitude of the country from around Reward at the End (Gadarenes) begged Him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: so, He got back into the ship and returned.

³⁸ Now the man out of whom the devils had departed asked if he could go with Him: but I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) sent him away, saying,

^39 “Return to your house and show the great things God has done for you.” So, he went his way and published throughout the whole city what great things I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) had done for him.

⁴⁰ And it came to pass, that, when I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) returned, the people gladly received Him. They were all still waiting for Him.

⁴¹ There, a man named Whom God Enlightens (Jairus) came. He was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell at I AM is Our Salvation’s (Yeshua’s) feet, and begged Him to come into his house:

⁴² Because he had one child, an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. But as He went, the people thronged Him.

⁴³ And a woman having an issue of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians, neither could be healed of any,

⁴⁴ Came behind Him and touched the border of His garment: and immediately her issue of blood stopped.

⁴⁵ I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Stone (Peter) and those who were with Him said, “Master, the multitude throng You and press You, and yet You say, Who touched me?”

⁴⁶ But I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered, “Someone has touched Me: for I perceive that power has gone out of Me.”

⁴⁷ When the woman saw that she could not hide, she came trembling, and falling down before Him, she declared to Him before all the people why she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately.

⁴⁸ He said to her, “Daughter, be of good comfort: your faith has made you whole; go in peace.”

⁴⁹ While he yet spoke, there came one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Master.”

⁵⁰ But when I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) heard it, He answered him, saying, “Fear not: believe only, and she will be made whole.”

⁵¹ When he came into the house, he permitted no man to go in, save Stone (Peter), and Supplanter (James), and I AM is a Gracious Giver (I AM is a Gracious Giver (John)), and the father and the mother of the maiden.

⁵² All wept, and bewailed her: but He said, “Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping.”

⁵³ And they laughed at him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

⁵⁴ So He put them all out, took her by the hand, and called, saying, “Maid, arise.”

⁵⁵ Her spirit came back, and she arose immediately: and He told them to give her food.

⁵⁶ Her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no man what was done.

Light-Giving (Luke) 7

 1 Now, when He had ended all His sayings in the audience of the people, He entered Village of Comfort (Capernaum).

2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and ready to die.

3 But when he heard about I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), he sent the elders of the Jews to Him, beseeching Him that He would come and heal his servant.

4 They went to I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) and petitioned Him instantly, saying that he was worthy and He should do this:

5 For he loves our nation, and he has built us a synagogue.

6 So I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) went with them. And when He was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, “Lord, do not trouble Yourself: for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof:

7 That is why I didn’t come to You myself: just say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

8 For I also am a man under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.”

9 When I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) heard these things, He marveled at him, turned around, and said to the people that followed Him, “I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.”

10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant who had been sick whole.

11 The day after that, He went into a city called Beauty (Nain), and many of His disciples went with Him, along with many other people.

12 Now when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and many people of the city were with her.

13 And when the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her, and said to her, “Weep not.”

14 He came and touched the bier, and those that bore him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, Arise.”

15 The man who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He delivered him to his mother.

16 This caused a great reverence on all that were there: and they glorified God, saying that a great prophet has risen among us; and that God has visited His people.

17 So this news of Him went throughout all the Land of Praise (Judaea), and throughout all the region round about.

18 Then the disciples of I AM is a Gracious Giver (John), told him of all these things.

19 Then I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) called to him two of his disciples and sent them to I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), saying, “Are You He that should come? Or should we look for another?”

20 When the men came to Him, they said, “I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, Are You He that should come? Or should we look for another?”

21 And in that same hour, He cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and to many that were blind He gave sight.

22 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answering said to them, “Go your way, and tell I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) the things you have seen and heard; how the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

23 And blessed is he who is not offended in Me.”

24 When the messengers of I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) departed, He began to speak to the people concerning I AM is a Gracious Giver (John), “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

25 What did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft robes? Look, those who are gorgeously attired and live in luxury are in the courts of kings.

26 But did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.

27 This is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before Your face, which shall prepare Your way before You.’

28 For I say to you, among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) the Baptist: but he that is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”

29 All the people who heard him, even the publicans, justified God, having been baptized with the baptism of I AM is a Gracious Giver (John).

30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

31 Then the Lord said, “How shall I describe the men of this generation? And what are they like?

32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, ‘We have piped for you, and you have not danced; we have mourned with you, and you have not wept.’

33 For I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say, He has a devil.

34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking; and you say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.”

36 Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. So, He went into the Pharisee's house and sat down to eat.

37 And, behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, when she knew that I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) sat eating in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

38 And stood at His feet behind Him weeping, and began to wash His feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed His feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

39 Now, when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, “This man, if He were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that touches Him: for she is a sinner.”

40 And I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) responding said to him, “Heard (Simon), I have something to say to you.” And he replied, “Master, say on.”

41 “There was a certain creditor who had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me, therefore, which of them will love him most?”

43 Heard (Simon) answered, “I suppose the one whom he forgave most.” And He said to him, “You have rightly judged.”

44 Then He turned to the woman, and said to Heard (Simon), “Do you see this woman? I entered your house, you gave me no water for my feet, but she has washed my feet with her tears and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

45 You gave Me no kiss, but this woman, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet.

46 You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with ointment.

47 Therefore I say to you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”

48 And He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49 And they that sat eating with Him began to say within themselves, “Who is this that forgives sins also?”

50 Then he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
