Gift of I AM (Matthew) 17

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.

Gift of I AM (Matthew) 16

1 The Separate (Pharisees) and The Righteous (Sadducees) came to tempt Him, desiring that He would show them a sign from heaven.

2 He answered them: When it is evening, you say, it will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

3 And in the morning: It will be foul weather today: the sky is red and lowering. You hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky; but can you not discern the signs of the times?

4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; but there shall not be a sign given to it, except the sign of the prophet Dove (Jonah). And He left them and departed from there.

5 And when His disciples came to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

6 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to them: Take heed and beware of the leaven of The Separate (Pharisees) and of The Righteous (Sadducees).

7 They reasoned among themselves, saying: It is because we have not brought bread.

8 Which, when I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) perceived He said to them: O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread?

9 Do you not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many baskets you took up?

11 How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread, but that you should beware of the leaven of The Separate (Pharisees) and of The Righteous (Sadducees)?

12 Then they understood that He did not warn them to beware of the leaven of bread but of the doctrine of The Separate (Pharisees) and The Righteous (Sadducees).

13 When I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) came into the coasts of Severed Horse Lover (Caesarea Philippi), He asked his disciples: Whom do men say that I, the Son of Man am?

14 They responded: Some say that You are I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) the Baptist: some, My God is I Am (Elijah); and others, Whom Jehovah Has Appointed (Jeremiah), or one of the prophets.

15 He then asked them: But whom do you say that I am?

16 And Heard (Simon) answered Him: You are the Anointed (Messiah, Christ), the Son of the living God.

17 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered him: You are blessed Heard, Son of Dove (Simon Barjona): for flesh and blood has not revealed it to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

18 And I say to you, that you are Stone (Peter), and on this rock, I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

19 I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven: and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

20 Then He charged His disciples that they should tell no man that He was I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) the Anointed (Messiah, Christ).

21 From that time forth, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) began to show to His disciples, how He must go to Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

22 Then Stone (Peter) took Him, and began to rebuke Him, saying: Be it far from You Lord: this shall not be to You.

23 But He turned and said to Stone (Peter): Get behind Me Adversary (Satan): you are a stumbling block to Me: for you do not savor the things that are of God, but those that are of men.

24 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) spoke to His disciples: If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it.

26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then He will reward every man according to his works.

28 Truly, I say to you: There will be some standing here, who shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in His kingdom.

Gift of I AM (Matthew) 15

1 Then the scribes and The Separate (Pharisees), who were from Rain of Peace (Jerusalem) said to I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua):

2 Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands when they eat bread.

3 But He answered: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

4 For God commanded: Honor your father and mother: and, He that curses his father or mother, let him die the death.

5 But you say: Whoever shall say to his father or his mother: It is a gift, by even though I might have blessed you;

6 And does not honor his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have you made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

7 You hypocrites, well did Yahweh’s Help (Isaiah) prophesy of you, saying:

8 This people draw near to Me with their mouth and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.

9 But they worship Me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.

10 And He called the multitude and said to them: Hear, and understand:

11 That which goes into the mouth does not defile a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this, defiles a man.

12 Then his disciples asked Him: Do you know that The Separate (Pharisees) were offended after hearing this saying?

13 But He answered: Every plant My heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up.

14 Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

15 Then Stone (Peter) said to Him: Explain this parable to us.

16 So I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said: Are you still without understanding?

17 Do you not yet understand, that whatsoever enters in at the mouth goes into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

18 But those things proceeding out of the mouth come from the heart; they defile the man.

19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.

21 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) departed for the coasts of A Rock (Tyre) and Hunter/Fisher (Sidon).

22 There, behold, a woman of Canaan came to Him, and cried to Him, saying: Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of Beloved (David); my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

23 But He did not answer her, not a word. His disciples came and besought Him, saying: Send her away; for she cries after us.

24 But He answered and said: I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of God Prevails (Israel).

25 Then she came and worshipped Him, saying: Lord, help me.

26 But He answered and said: It is not fitting to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

27 And she said: True Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

28 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered her: O woman, great is your faith: be it to you even as you will. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

29 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) departed from there and came near the sea of Circuit-District (Galilee), went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

30 Great multitudes came to Him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and laid them at I AM is Our Salvation’s (Yeshua) feet; and He healed them:

31 So much so that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of God Prevails (Israel).

32 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) called His disciples to Him, and said I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint on the way.

33 But his disciples said to Him: Where should we find so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

34 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to them: How many loaves do you have? They answered: Seven, and a few little fishes.

35 Then He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

36 He took the seven loaves and the fishes, gave thanks, broke them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

37 And they all ate and were filled. Then they took up the broken food that was left, seven baskets full.

38 Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

39 Afterwards, He sent away the multitude, got on a ship, and came into the coasts of A Tower (Magdal).

Gift of I AM (Matthew) 14

 1 At that time Heroic (Herod) the tetrarch heard of the fame of I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua),

2 And said to his servants: This is I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; That is why He does all these mighty works.

3 For Heroic (Herod) had laid hold on I AM is a Gracious Giver (John), and bound him, and put him in prison for Heroica’s (Herodias) sake, his brother Horse Lover's (Philip) wife.

4 For I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) said to him: It is not lawful for you to have her.

5 But when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

6 But when Heroic's (Herod) birthday was kept, the daughter of Heroica (Herodias) danced before them and pleased Heroic (Herod).

7 Whereon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.

8 And she, being instructed by her mother before, said: Bring to me I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) the Baptist's head on a platter.

9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless, for the oath's sake, and they who sat with him at the meal, he commanded it to be given her.

10 And he sent, and beheaded I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) in the prison.

11 And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.

12 His disciples came, took the body, and buried it. Then they went and told I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua).

13 When I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) heard of it, he departed there by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

14 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) came out, saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and He healed their sick.

15 When it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.

16 But I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to them: They do not need to depart; you give them something to eat.

17 And they say to Him: We only have five loaves, and two fishes.

18 He answered: Bring them to me.

19 Then He commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

20 They all ate and were filled. Then they took up of the fragments that remained, twelve baskets full.

21 The number that had eaten was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

22 And straightway I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) told His disciples to get into a ship and to go before him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

23 When He had sent the multitudes away, He went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening came, He was there alone.

24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

25 And in the fourth watch of the night I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) went to them, walking on the sea.

26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying: It is a spirit, and they cried out for fear.

27 But straightway I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) spoke to them, saying: Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

28 Then Stone (Peter) answered Him and said: Lord, if it is You, have me come to You on the water.

29 He responded: Come. Then Stone (Peter) came down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua).

30 But when he saw the boisterous wind, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out: Lord, save me!

31 Immediately I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) stretched forth His hand, caught him, and said to him: O you of little faith, why did you doubt?

32 And when they got into the ship, the wind ceased.

33 Then those in the ship came and worshipped Him, saying: It is true! You are the Son of God.

34 After they crossed to the other side, they entered the land of A Harp (Gennesaret).

35 When the men of that place heard He was there, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought to Him all that were diseased;

36 They begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

Gift of I AM (Matthew) 13

1 That same day, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) left the house and sat by the seaside.

2 There, great multitudes gathered together to Him, so He went into a ship, and sat while the whole multitude stood on the shore.

3 He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

4 As he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

5 Some fell on stony places, where there wasn’t much dirt: and right away they sprung up, but they had no depth of earth:

6 When the sun was up, they were scorched; they withered away because they had no root.

7 Some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

8 But others fell into good ground and brought forth fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

9 Who has ears to hear, let him hear.

10 And the disciples came, and said to Him: Why do You speak to them in parables?

11 He answered them: Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

12 For whosoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever has not, from him shall be taken away even that he has.

13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they, seeing, see not; and hearing, they hear not, neither do they understand.

14 For in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Yahweh’s Help (Isaiah), which said: By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive:

15 For these people's hearts are callused, their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

 

16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

17 For truly, I say to you: Many prophets and righteous men 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.

18 Hear, therefore, the parable of the sower.

19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand, the wicked one comes and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.

20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that hears the word, and with joy receives it;

21 Yet he has no root in himself, but grows for a while: but when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, by and by he is offended.

22 He that received seed among the thorns is he that hears the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that hears the word, and understands it; he also bears fruit, and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

24 Another parable He told to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field:

25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, then went his way.

26 So, when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, the tares appeared.

27 So the servants of the householder came and said to him: Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where did these tares come from?

28 He said to them: An enemy has done this. The servants asked him: Do you want us to go and gather them up?

29 But he said: No; lest while you gather the tares, you also root up the wheat with them.

30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather together the tares first, and bind them in bundles to burn them: then gather the wheat into my barn.

31 Another parable He shared with them was: The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

 

32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

33 This is another parable He told them; The Kingdom of Heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

34 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) all these things spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them:

35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

36 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) sent the multitude away, and went into the house.  There his disciples came to Him, saying: Please explain the parable of the tares of the field.

37 He answered them: He that soweth the good seed is the Son of Man;

38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and those who do iniquity;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like to treasure hid in a field; when a man has found, he hides it, and for joy thereof goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.

45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered fish of every kind:

48. When it was full, they drew to shore, sat down, and gathered the good into vessels but cast the bad away.

49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

51 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to them: Have you understood all these things? They say to Him: Yes, Lord.

52 Then said He to them: Therefore, every scribe who is instructed about the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings forth out of his treasure things new and old.

53 When I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) had finished these parables, He departed from there.

54 Then He came into His own country, where He taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said: Why does this man have this wisdom and these mighty works?

55 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Rebellion (Mary)? and his brethren, Supplanter (James), and Exalted (Joses), and Heard (Simon), and Praised (Judah)?

56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?

57 And they were offended by Him. But I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to them: A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house.

58 And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
