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).
