Gift of I AM (Matthew) 23

1 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) spoke to the multitude, and to His disciples,

2 Saying: The scribes and The Separate (Pharisees) sit in Drawn’s (Moses') seat:

3 Therefore, whatever they instruct you to observe, do all; but do not imitate their works: for they say and do not.

4 They bind heavy burdens, grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

5 All their works they do to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

6 They love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

7 The greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

8 But don’t you be called Rabbi: for only one is your guide, the Anointed (Messiah, Christ); and all of you are brethren.

9 Call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, who is in heaven.

10 Neither be called master teachers: for only one is your master teacher, the Anointed (Messiah, Christ).

11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

12 Whoever exalts himself shall be abased, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

13 But woe to you, scribes and The Separate (Pharisees), hypocrites! for you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men. You neither go in yourselves nor permit those who are entering to go in.

14 Woe to you, scribes and The Separate (Pharisees), hypocrites! for you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayer: therefore, you shall receive the greater damnation.

15 Woe to you, scribes and The Separate (Pharisees), hypocrites! for you scour sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

16 Woe to you, you blind guides, who say: Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

17 You fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?

18 And, whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is guilty.

19 You fools and blind: for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?

20 Whoever swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it.

21 And whoever swears by the temple, swears by it, and by Him that dwells there.

22 And he that swears by Heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by Him who sits thereon.

23 Woe to you, scribes and The Separate (Pharisees), hypocrites! for you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these you should have have done, and not to leave the other undone.

24 You blind guides, who strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

25 Woe to you, scribes and The Separate (Pharisees), hypocrites! for you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

26 You blind Separate (Pharisee), cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside may also be clean.

27 Woe to you, scribes and The Separate (Pharisees), hypocrites! for you are like whitened sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

28 Even so you outwardly appear righteous to men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

29 Woe to you, scribes and The Separate (Pharisees), hypocrites! because you build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous,

30 And say: If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

31 Therefore you are witnesses to yourselves, that you are the children of those who killed the prophets.

32 Fill up then the measure of your fathers.

33 You serpents, you generation of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell?

34 Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, wise men, and scribes: and some of them you shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall you scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

35 That on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom you slew between the temple and the altar.

36 Truly I say to you: All these things shall come on this generation.

37 O Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), you that kill the prophets, and stone them who are sent to you, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!

38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate.

39 For I say to you: You shall not see Me henceforth, till you shall say: Blessed is He that comes in the Name of the Lord.

Gift of I AM (Matthew) 22

1 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) spoke to them again by parables, and said:

2 The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage for his son,

3 He sent forth his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding: and they would not come.

4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying: Tell them who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage.

5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

6 And the remnant took his servants and treated them spitefully and slew them.

7 But when the king heard of it, he was so angry that he sent forth his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

8 Then said he to his servants: The wedding is ready, but they who were invited were not worthy.

9 Go therefore into the highways, and as many as you find, invite them to the marriage.

10 So those servants went out to the highways and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who did not have on a wedding garment:

12 He said to him: Friend, how is it that you came in but didn’t put on a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

15 Then went The Separate (Pharisees), and took counsel how they might entangle Him in his talk.

 

16 So they sent their disciples to Him with the Heroic (Herodians), saying: Master, we know that You art true, and teach the way of God in truth, neither do you care for any man: for You do not regard the person of men.

17 Tell us, therefore: What do You think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

18 But I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) perceived their wickedness, and said: Why do you tempt Me, you hypocrites?

19 Show Me the tribute money. And they brought Him a penny.

20 He said to them: Whose is this image and superscription?

21 They say to him: Caesar's. Then He told them: Render therefore to Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's.

22 When they heard these words, they marveled, left Him, and went their way.

23 The same day The Righteous (Sadducees) came to Him who say that there is no resurrection, and asked Him:

24 Master, Drawn (Moses) said: If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.

25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no child, left his wife to his brother:

26 Likewise the second also, and the third, to the seventh.

27 And last of all the woman died also.

28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

29 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered them: You err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying:

32 I am the God of Father of a Multitude (Abraham), and the God of Laughter (Isaac), and the God of Heel-Grabber (Jacob)? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

33 When the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

34 But when The Separate (Pharisees) heard that He had put The Righteous (Sadducees) to silence, they gathered together.

35 Then one of them, who was a lawyer, asked Him a question, tempting Him, and saying,

36 Master, what is the great commandment in the law?

37 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to him: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like it, you shall love your neighbor as yourself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

41 While The Separate (Pharisees) were gathered together, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) asked them:

42 What do you think about the Anointed (Messiah, Christ)? Whose son is He? They answered Him: The son of Beloved (David).

43 He then asked: How then does Beloved (David) in spirit call Him Lord, saying:

44 The Lord said to my Lord, sit here on My right hand, till I make Your enemies your footstool?

45 If Beloved (David) then calls Him Lord, how is He his son?

46 No man was able to answer Him a word and from that day forward they didn’t ask Him any more questions.

Gift of I AM (Matthew) 21

1 When they drew near Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), and came to House of Unripe Figs (Bethphage), to the Mount of Olives, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) sent two of His disciples,

2 Saying to them: Go into the next village, and straightway you will find an ass tied, and a colt with her: untie them, and bring them to Me.

3 If any man stops to you, tell him: The Lord needs them; and he will send them right away.

4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:

5 Tell the daughter of Lofty (Sion): Behold, your King comes to you, meek, and sitting on an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

6 So the disciples went, and did as I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) commanded them,

7 They brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set Him thereon.

8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees and strew them along the way.

9 A great multitude went before Him and also followed after Him. They cried, saying: O Save! (Hosanna) to the son of Beloved (David): Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord; O Save! (Hosanna) in the highest.

10 When He came into Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), all the city was moved, saying: Who is this?

11 And the multitude proclaimed: This is I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) the prophet of The Guarded One (Nazareth) of Circuit-District (Galilee).

12 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) went into the temple of God, and cast out all those that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

13 He said to them: It is written: My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.

14 Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them.

15 When the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying in the temple and saying: O Save! (Hosanna) to the Son of Beloved (David); they were very displeased,

16 And said to Him: Do You hear what they are saying? I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered them: Yes; have you never read: Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings: You have perfected praise?

17 He left them and went out of the city to House of Depression or Misery (Bethany), and lodged there.

18 Now in the morning as He returned to the city, He was hungry.

19 And when He saw a fig tree in the way, He came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said to it: Let no fruit grow on you henceforward forever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

20 When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying: How quickly the fig tree has withered away!

21 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered them: Truly I say to you, If you have faith, and doubt not, you shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea; it shall be done.

22 And all things, whatever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.

23 When He came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him as He was teaching, and said: By what authority do You these things? who gave You this authority?

24 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered them: I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

25 The baptism of I AM is a Gracious Giver (John), where did it come from? Heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying: If we say, from Heaven; He will say to us: Why didn’t you believe him?

26 But if we say: Of men; we fear the people; for all hold I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) as a prophet.

27 So they answered I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua): We cannot tell. And He said to them: Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

28 But what do you think? A certain man had two sons. He said to the first: Son, go work today in my vineyard.

29 His son answered: I will not: but afterward, he repented and went.

30 And he came to the second and said likewise. This son answered and said: I go, sir: but didn’t go.

31 Which of the two did the will of his father? They said to Him: The first. I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) replied: Truly I say to you; the publicans and the harlots go into the Kingdom of God before you.

32 For I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and you, when you had seen it, did not repent afterward, that you might believe him.

33 Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner, who planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and rented it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:

34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.

36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did to them likewise.

37 But last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will respect my son.

38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves: This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize his inheritance.

39 They attacked him, cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.

40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those husbandmen?

41 They said to him: He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will pay him the fruits in their seasons.

42 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to them: Did you never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?

43 Therefore say I to you: The kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

44 And whoever falls on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it falls on, it will grind him to powder.

45 And when the chief priests and The Separate (Pharisees) had heard His parables, they perceived that He spoke of them.

46 But when they sought to lay hands on Him, they feared the multitude, because they took Him for a prophet.

1 For the kingdom of heaven is like a farmer, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard.

2 And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

3 Then he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,

4 And said to them; Go into the vineyard, and I will give you whatever is right. So, they went their way.

5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour and did likewise.

6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle. So, he asked them: Why are you standing here all day idle?

7 They answered: Because no man has hired us. He told them: Go work in the vineyard; whatever is right, I will pay you.

8 So when evening came, the lord of the vineyard said to his steward: Call the laborers and give them their hire, beginning from the last to the first.

9 When those who were hired about the eleventh hour came, they each received a penny.

10 But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise, each received a penny.

11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,

12 Saying: These last have only worked one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.

13 But he answered one of them: Friend, I do you no wrong: did you not agree with me for a penny?

14 Take what is yours and go your way: I will give to this last, even as to you.

15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is your eye evil, because I am good?

16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many are called, but few chosen.

17 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) went up to Rain of Peace (Jerusalem). Along the way He took the twelve disciples apart, saying to them:

18 Look, we are going up to Rain of Peace (Jerusalem); and the Son of Man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they shall condemn Him to death,

19 And shall deliver Him to the Gentiles (foreigners) to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify Him: but on the third day He shall rise again.

20 Then the mother of My Gift’s (Zebedee’s) children came to him with her sons, worshipping Him, and desiring a certain thing of Him.

21 And he said to her: What do you desire? She said to him: Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on Your right hand, and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.

22 But I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered her: You know not what you ask. Are you able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They said to Him: We are able.

23 Then He said to them: You shall indeed drink of My cup and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on My right hand, and on My left, is not Mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared by My Father.

24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.

25 But I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) called them to Him and said: You know that the princes of the Gentiles (foreigners) exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority on them.

26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister.

27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give His life as a ransom for many.

29 And as they departed from Its Moon (Jericho), a great multitude followed him.

30 Now two blind men were sitting by the wayside when they heard that I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) was passing by, they cried out, saying: Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of Beloved (David).

31 But the multitude rebuked them and told them they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying: Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of Beloved (David).

32 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) stood still and called to them, and said: What would you have Me to do for you?

33 They say to Him: Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

34 So I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.

Gift of I AM (Matthew) 19

 1 When I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) had finished these sayings, He departed from Circuit-District (Galilee) and came into the region of Land of Praise (Judaea) beyond The Descender (Jordan).

2 Great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.

3 The Separate (Pharisees) also came to Him, tempting Him, and saying to Him: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

4 He answered: Have you not read, that He who made them at the beginning made them male and female,

5 For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and the two shall be one flesh?

6 Therefore they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder.

7 They asked Him: Why did Drawn (Moses) command them to give a writing of divorce to put her away?

8 He said to them: Drawn (Moses) permitted you to put away your wives because of the hardness of your hearts: but from the beginning it was not so.

9 And I say to you: Whoever puts away his wife, except because of fornication, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoso marries her that is put away commits adultery.

10 His disciples said to Him: If this is the case, of a man and his wife, it is not good to marry.

11 He answered them: All men cannot receive this saying, only those to whom it is given.

12 There are some eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs of men: and there are eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

13 Then some brought to Him little children, so He would put His hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

14 But I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said: Permit the little children and do not forbid them, to come to Me: for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.

15 And He laid His hands on them and departed from there.

16 Then a young man came and asked Him: Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

17 He answered him: Why do you call me good? there is none good but one, and that is, God: but if you will enter life, keep the commandments.

18 The young man said to Him: Which? I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered: you shall do no murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness,

19 Honor your father and mother: you shall love your neighbor as yourself.

20 The young man said to Him: All these things have I kept from my youth up: what do I still lack?

21 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to him: If you will be perfect, go and sell that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come and follow Me.

22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

23 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to his disciples: Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

24 Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.

25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying: Who then can be saved?

26 But I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) looked at them and said: With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

27 Then Stone (Peter) answered Him: Look, we have forsaken all, and followed You; what shall we have?

28 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) replied: Truly I say to you, you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man shall sit in the throne of His glory, you also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of God Prevails (Israel).

29 And everyone that has forsaken houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for My Name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold and shall inherit everlasting life.

30 But many that are first shall be last, and the last shall be first.

Gift of I AM (Matthew) 18

1 At the same time the disciples came to I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), asking: Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?

2 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) called a little child to Him, and set him in the midst of them,

3 And said: Truly I say to you: Unless you are converted, and become as little children, you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

4 Therefore, whoever shall humble himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

5 And whoever receives one such little child in My name receives Me.

6 But whoever offends one of these little ones who believe in Me, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung about his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Woe to the world because of offenses! for offenses will come; but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!

8 Therefore, if your hand or your foot offends you, cut them off, and cast them from you: it is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

9 If your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out, and cast it from you: it is better for you to enter life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

10 Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I say to you, that in heaven their angels always behold the face of My Father who is in Heaven.

11 For the Son of Man has come to save those who were lost.

12 What do you think? if a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine, and go into the mountains, seeking the one that went astray?

13 And if he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which did not go astray.

14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in Heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

15 Moreover if your brother trespasses against you, go and tell him about his fault between you and him alone: if he hears you, you have gained your brother.

16 But if he will not hear you, take with you one or two more, that every word may be established in the mouth of two or three witnesses.

17 And if he neglects to hear them, tell it to the church: but if he neglects to listen to the church, let him be to you as a heathen man and a publican.

18 Truly I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

19 Again I say to you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in Heaven.

20 For where two or three are gathered together in My Name, there am I in the midst of them.

21 Then Stone (Peter) came to him, and said: Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

22 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to him: I say to you, not until seven times: but, until seventy times seven.

23 Therefore is the Kingdom of Heaven likened to a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him, who owed him ten thousand talents.

25 Because he could not pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

26 The servant fell down, and worshipped him, saying: Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.

27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, freed him, and forgave his debt.

28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him a hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying: Pay me that you owe.

29 And his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.

30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were very sorry and came and told their lord all that was done.

32 After that his lord called him, and said to him, O you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you asked me:

33 Shouldn’t you also have compassion on your fellow servant, even as I pitied you?

34 And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due to him.

35 So likewise shall My heavenly Father do also to you, if you from your hearts do not forgive each of his brothers’ trespasses.

1 After six days I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) took Stone (Peter), Supplanter (James), and I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves,

2 And was transfigured before them: His face shone as the sun, and His raiment was white as the light.

3 Then, amazingly, Drawn (Moses) and My God is I Am (Elijah) appeared to them talking with Him.

4 Then Stone (Peter), responded to I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua): Lord, it is good for us to be here: if You will, let us make here three tabernacles; one for You, and one for Drawn (Moses), and one for My God is I Am (Elijah). 

5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them: then a voice came out of the cloud, which said: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear Him.

6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were terribly afraid.

7 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) came and touched them, and said: Arise and do not be afraid.

8 When they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua).

9 As they came down from the mountain, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man until the Son of Man has risen again from the dead.

10 Then His disciples asked Him: Why then, do the scribes say that My God is I Am (Elijah) must first come?

11 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered them: My God is I Am (Elijah) truly shall first come, and restore all things.

12 But I say to you, My God is I Am (Elijah) has come already, and they did not recognize him but have done to him whatsoever they wanted. Likewise, also the Son of Man shall suffer by them.

13 Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) the Baptist.

14 When they came to the multitude, a certain man came to Him, knelt down before Him, and said:

15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he has horrible seizures: He often falls into the fire, and oft into the water.

16 I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not cure him.

17 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him here to Me.

18 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) rebuked the devil, and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

19 The disciples came to I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) when alone, and asked: Why could we not cast him out?

20 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered them: Because of your unbelief: for truly I say to you: If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain: Move to another place; and it shall move, and nothing shall be impossible to you.

21 Howbeit this kind does not go out but by prayer and fasting.

22 While they stayed in Circuit-District (Galilee), I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to them: The Son of Man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

23 And they shall kill Him, and the third day He shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sad.

24 When they came to Village of Comfort (Capernaum), they that received tribute money came to Stone (Peter), and said: Does your master not pay tribute?

25 He replied: Yes. And when he came into the house, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) stopped him with a question: What do you think, Heard (Simon)? Of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or strangers?

26 Stone (Peter) said to him, Of strangers. I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to him: Then are the children free.

27 Notwithstanding, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the fish that first comes up; when you have opened its mouth, you will find a piece of money: take that, and give to them for you and Me.
