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.”

Light-Giving (Luke) 6

 1 It came to pass on the second Sabbath after the first, that He went through the grain fields; and His disciples plucked the ears of grain, and ate, rubbing them in their hands.

² Certain of the Pharisees saw this and said to them, “Why do you do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath days?”

³ I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answering them said, “Have you not read what Beloved (David) did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him;

⁴ How he went into the house of God, and took and ate the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?”

⁵ He said to them, “Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath.”

⁶ On another Sabbath, He entered the synagogue and taught, and there was a man whose right hand was withered.

⁷ And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether He would heal on the Sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against Him.

⁸ But he knew their thoughts and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise up, and stand where everyone can see.” So, he arose and stood.

⁹ Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to them, “I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the Sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?”

¹⁰ And looking round about on them all, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

¹¹ But they were filled with madness and communed with one another about what they might do to I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua).

¹² Later, He went out into a mountain to pray ad continued all night in prayer to God.

¹³ When it was day, He called to Himself His disciples: and of them He chose twelve, whom also He named apostles;

¹⁴ Heard (Simon), (whom He also named Stone (Peter), Manly (Andrew) his brother, Supplanter (James), I AM is a Gracious Giver (John), Horse Lover (Philip), Son of Plowman (Bartholomew),

¹⁵ Gift of I AM (Matthew), Twin (Thomas), Supplanter (James), the son of Changing (Alphaeus), Heard (Simon) called Zealot,

¹⁶ Praised (Judas) the brother of Supplanter (James) and Praised (Judas) Man of the City (Iscariot), who also was the traitor.

¹⁷ Then He came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of His disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Land of Praise (Judaea) and Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), and from the sea coast of A Rock (Tyre) and Hunter/Fisher (Sidon), who came to hear Him, and to be healed of their diseases;

¹⁸ Along with those who were vexed with unclean spirits, and they were healed.

¹⁹ So the whole multitude sought to touch Him: for virtue went out of Him, and healed them all.

²⁰ Then He lifted His eyes toward His disciples, and said, “Blessed are you who are poor in spirit: for yours is the Kingdom of God.

²¹ Blessed are you that hunger now: for you will be filled. Blessed are you that weep now: for you will laugh.

²² Blessed are you, when men will hate you, and when they will separate you from their company, and will reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake.

²³ Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy. For, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner their fathers did to the prophets.

²⁴ But woe to you that are rich! For you have received your consolation.

²⁵ Woe to you that are full! For you will hunger. Woe to you that laugh now! for you will mourn and weep.

²⁶ Woe to you, when all men will speak well of you! So also did their fathers to the false prophets.

²⁷ But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to them who hate you,

²⁸ Bless them that curse you and pray for them who despitefully use you.

²⁹ And to him that strikes you on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that takes away your cloak let them take your coat also.

³⁰ Give to every man that asks of you; and of him that takes away your goods ask them not again.

³¹ And as you would that men should do to you, do also to them likewise.

³² For if you love them who love you, what thank have you? for sinners also love those that love them.

³³ And if you do good to them which do good to you, what thank have you? for sinners also do even the same.

³⁴ And if you lend to those of whom you hope to receive, what thanks do you have? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

³⁵ But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward will be great, and you will be the children of the Highest: for He is kind to the unthankful and to the evil.

³⁶ Therefore be merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

³⁷ Judge not, and ye will not be judged: condemn not, and you will not be condemned: forgive, and you will be forgiven:

³⁸ Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, will men give into your bosom. For with the same measure you give, it will be measured to you again.”

³⁹ Then He spoke a parable to them, “Can the blind lead the blind? will they not both fall into the ditch?

⁴⁰ The disciple is not above his master: but everyone who is mature will be as his master.

⁴¹ And why do you behold the speck that is in your brother's eye, but not perceive the beam that is in your own eye?

⁴² Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me pull out the speck that is in your eye’, when you yourself cannot see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to pull out the speck that is in your brother's eye.

⁴³ For a good tree doesn’t bring forth corrupt fruit; neither does a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

⁴⁴ For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs of thorns, nor of a bramble bush do they gather grapes.

⁴⁵ A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

⁴⁶ Why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not do the things which I say?

⁴⁷ Whosoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like:

⁴⁸ He is like a man who built a house, dug deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently on that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded on a rock.

⁴⁹ But he that hears, and doesn’t do it, is like a man that, without a foundation, built a house on the earth; against which the stream beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.”

Light-Giving (Luke) 5

 1 It came to pass that, as the people pressed on Him to hear the word of God, He stood by the lake of A Harp (Gennesaret),

² And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

³ He entered one of the ships, which was Heard's (Simon’s), and asked him to thrust out a little from the land. Then He sat down and taught the people from the ship.

⁴ Now when He had finished speaking, He said to Heard (Simon), “Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch.”

⁵ Heard (Simon) replied, “Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless, at Your word I will let down the net.”

⁶ And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fish: and their net broke.

⁷ So they beckoned to their partners, who were in the other ship, that they would come and help them. They came and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

⁸ When Heard (Simon) Peter saw it, he fell down at I AM is Our Salvation’s (Yeshua’s) knees, saying, “Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.”

⁹ Because he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the number of fish which they had taken:

¹⁰ And so were Supplanter (James), and I AM is a Gracious Giver (John), the sons of My Gift (Zebedee), who were partners with Heard (Simon). Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to Heard (Simon), “Fear not; from here out you will catch men.”

¹¹ So when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all and followed Him.

¹² Then it came to pass, when He was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) fell on his face, and begged Him, saying, “Lord, if You will, You can make me clean.”

¹³ I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) put forth His hand, and touched him, saying, “I will. Be clean.” And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

¹⁴ And He instructed him to tell no man: but go, and show yourself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

¹⁵ But this just spread His fame all the more, and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities.

¹⁶ Then He withdrew Himself into the wilderness and prayed.

¹⁷ It came to pass on a certain day, as He was teaching, there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, and many who had come out of every town of Circuit-District (Galilee), and Land of Praise (Judaea), and Rain of Peace (Jerusalem): and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

¹⁸ And, behold, men brought in a bed a man who was taken with a palsy: and they sought a way to bring him in, and to lay him before Him.

¹⁹ And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went on the housetop and let him down through the tiling on his cot into the midst before I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua).

²⁰ When I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven.”

²¹ But the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”

²² But I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) perceived their thoughts, and answered them, “Why do you reason so in your hearts?

²³ Which is easier to say? ‘Your sins are forgiven, ' or to say, ‘Rise up and walk?’

²⁴ But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins, (He said to the sick of the palsy,) I say to you, Arise, and take up your cot, and go home.”

²⁵ And immediately he rose before them, and took up his cot, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

²⁶ And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”

²⁷ And after these things He went out, and saw a tax collector, named Joined To (Levi), sitting at the tax booth: and He said to him, “Follow Me.”

²⁸ And he left all, rose up, and followed Him.

²⁹ And Joined To (Levi) made Him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of tax collectors and of others that sat down with them.

³⁰ But the scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

³¹ I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered them, “They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.

³² I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

³³ And they said to Him, “Why do the disciples of I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but Yours eat and drink?”

³⁴ He replied, “Can you make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

³⁵ But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then will they fast in those days.”

³⁶ Then He told them a parable: “No man puts a piece of a new garment on an old; if he does, then both the new will tear, and the piece that was taken out of the new will not agree with the old.

³⁷ And no man puts new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles will perish.

³⁸ But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.

³⁹ No man also having drunk old wine immediately desires the new: for he says, ‘The old is better.’”

Light-Giving (Luke) 4

 1 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), being full of the Holy Spirit, returned from The Descender (Jordan), and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

² To be tempted by the devil. He was there 40 days, and in those days, He ate nothing. When they were ended, He was hungry.

³ Then the devil said to Him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”

⁴ But I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered him, saying, “It is written, that man will not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.”

⁵ Then the devil took Him up to a high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁶ And the devil said to Him, “All this power I will give to You, and the glory of them have been delivered to me; and to whoever I will, I can give it.

⁷ Therefore, if You will worship me, it will all be Yours.”

⁸ But I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered him, “Get behind Me, Satan: for it is written, 'You will worship the Lord your God, and Him only will you serve.”

⁹ Then he brought Him to Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), and set Him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, If You are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here:

¹⁰ For it is written, He will give His angels charge over You, to keep You:

¹¹ And in their hands they will bear You up, lest at any time You dash your foot against a stone.”

¹² I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) countered him, “It is said, you will not tempt the Lord your God.”

¹³ When the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from Him for a season.

¹⁴ So I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) returned in the power of the Spirit to Circuit-District (Galilee): and there His fame went out through all the region round about

¹⁵ As He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

¹⁶ Then He came to Branch (Nazareth), where He had been brought up. As was His custom, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stood up to read.

¹⁷ The book of the prophet I AM’s Help (Isaiah) was delivered to Him. When He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written,

^18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

¹⁹ To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”

²⁰ And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all those who were in the synagogue were fastened on Him.

²¹ He said to them, “This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”

²² All spoke well of Him and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. They said, “Is not this I AM Will Add's (Joseph’s) son?”

²³ But He said to them, “You will surely say to Me this proverb, 'Physician, heal Yourself: all that we have heard You did in Village of Comfort (Capernaum), do also here in Your country.”

²⁴ And He said, “Truly I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country.

²⁵ But I tell you a truth, many widows were in God Prevails (Israel) in the days of My God is I Am (Elijah), when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land.

²⁶ My God is I Am (Elijah) was sent to none of them, but to Smelting (Sarepta), a city of Hunter/Fisher (Sidon), to a woman who was a widow.

²⁷ And many lepers were in God Prevails (Israel) in the time of God is Salvation (Elisha) the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, save Pleasantness (Naaman) the Exalted (Syrian).

²⁸ Everyone in the synagogue, when they heard these things, was filled with wrath.

²⁹ They rose up, thrust Him out of the city, and led Him to the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast Him down headlong.

³⁰ But He passed through the midst of them, went His way,

³¹ And came down to Village of Comfort (Capernaum), a city of Circuit-District (Galilee), and taught them on the Sabbath days.

³² They were astonished at His doctrine: for His word was with power.

³³ In the synagogue, there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,

³⁴ Saying, “Let us alone; what have we to do with You, You, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) of Branch (Nazareth)? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are; the Holy One of God.”

³⁵ But I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) rebuked him, saying, “Hold your peace, and come out of him.” And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him and did not hurt him.

³⁶ They were all amazed, and spoke among themselves, saying, “What a word is this! With authority and power, he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

³⁷ And His fame went out into every place of the surrounding country.

³⁸ Then He arose out of the synagogue and entered Heard's (Simon's) house. Heard’s (Simon's) wife's mother was taken with a great fever, and they sought Him for her.

³⁹ He went and stood over her and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered to them.

⁴⁰ Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with every kind of disease brought them to Him; and He laid his hands on every one of them and healed them.

⁴¹ And devils also came out of many, crying out, “You are Anointed (Messiah, Christ) the Son of God!” He rebuked them and would not permit them to speak, for they knew that He was Anointed (Messiah, Christ).

⁴² When it was day, He departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought Him, came to Him, and detained Him, that He should not depart from them.

⁴³ But He said to them, “I must preach the Kingdom of God to other cities also: for this is why I was sent.”

⁴⁴ So He went and preached in the synagogues of Circuit-District (Galilee).
