Gift of I AM (Matthew) 20

 20

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.
