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.”

Battering Ram (Mark) 1

 1 The beginning of the gospel of I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) Christ, the Son of God.

2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.

3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.

4 I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

5 People came to him from all over the land of Land of Praise (Judaea), and from Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), and were all baptized by him in the river, The Descender (Jordan), confessing their sins.

6 I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) was clothed with camel hair and a girdle of skin about his loins. He ate locusts and wild honey

7 And preached, saying: There comes one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

8 I have baptized you with water: but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.

9 It came to pass in those days, that I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) came from The Guarded One (Nazareth) of Circuit-District (Galilee) and was baptized by I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) in The Descender (Jordan).

10 As He came up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending on Him:

11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying: You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

12 Immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness.

13 He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan. He was with the wild beasts and the angels ministered to Him.

14 Now after that I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) was put in prison, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) traveled around Circuit-District (Galilee), preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God,

15 Saying: The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent and believe the gospel.

16 Now as he walked by the sea of Circuit-District (Galilee), he saw Heard (Simon) and Manly (Andrew) his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen.

17 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to them: Come, follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.

18 Right away they forsook their nets and followed Him.

19 When He had gone a little further, He saw Supplanter (James) the son of My Gift (Zebedee), and I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

20 Right away He called them: and they left their father My Gift (Zebedee) in the ship with the hired servants and went after Him.

21 They went to Village of Comfort (Capernaum). Immediately on the sabbath day He entered the synagogue and taught.

22 They were astonished at His doctrine: He taught them as one who had authority, not as the scribes.

23 There was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out:

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

25 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) rebuked him: Hold your peace and come out of him.

26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

27 They were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying: What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? He even commands the unclean spirits with authority, and they obey Him.

28 Immediately His fame spread throughout all the region around Circuit-District (Galilee).

29 Then, when they came out of the synagogue, they entered the house of Heard (Simon) and Manly (Andrew), with Supplanter (James) and I AM is a Gracious Giver (John).

30 Now Heard's (Simon) wife's mother lay sick with a fever, and they told Him about her immediately.

31 He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered to them.

32 In the evening, when the sun set, they brought to Him all that were diseased and those that were possessed with devils.

33 All the city gathered at the door.

34 He healed many who were sick with diverse diseases and cast out many devils; and did not permit the devils to speak because they knew Him.

35 In the morning, rising a great while before day, He went out to a solitary place, and there prayed.

36 Heard (Simon) and those who were with Him followed Him.

37 When they found Him, they said to Him: Everyone is looking for You.

38 He said to them: Let’s go into the next towns, that I may preach there also. This is why I came.

39 He preached in the synagogues throughout all Circuit-District (Galilee) and cast out devils.

40 A leper came to Him, begging and kneeling before Him, saying to Him, If You will, You can make me clean.

41 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), moved with compassion, put forth His hand, and touched him, saying to him: I will; be clean.

42 As soon as He had spoken, the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.

43 Then He sternly charged him, and sent him away;

44 Saying to him: See that you say nothing to any man: but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.

45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) could no more openly enter a city but was out in desert places: and they came to Him from every quarter.

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) 11

 11

 

1 When I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) had made an end of commanding His twelve disciples, and He departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.

2 Now, when I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) heard from prison about the works of Anointed (Messiah, Christ), he sent two of his disciples,

3 And said to Him: Are You He that should come, or do we look for another?

4 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered saying to them: Go back and tell I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) those things which you hear and see:

5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

6 Blessed is he, who is not offended by Me.

7 Then as they departed, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) began to say to the multitudes concerning I AM is a Gracious Giver (John): What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

8 What did you really go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they wear soft clothing in kings' houses.

9 What did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send My messenger before You, which shall prepare Your way before You.

11 Truly, I say to you: Among them that are born of women there has not risen a greater than I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

12 And from the days of I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until I AM is a Gracious Giver (John).

14 And, if you will receive it, this is My God is I Am (Elijah), which was to come.

15 He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

16 But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, and calling to their fellows,

17 And saying: We have piped to you, and you have not danced; we have mourned to you, and you have not lamented.

18 For I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) came neither eating nor drinking, and they say: He has a devil.

19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say: Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But Wisdom is justified by her children.

20 Then began He to upbraid the cities wherein most of His mighty works were done, because they did not repent:

21 Woe to you, Furnace of Smoke (Chorazin)! woe to you, House of Fish (Bethsaida)! If the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in A Rock (Tyre) and Hunter/Fisher (Sidon), they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

22 But I say to you: It shall be more tolerable for A Rock (Tyre) and Hunter/Fisher (Sidon) at the day of judgment, than for you.

23 And you, Village of Comfort (Capernaum), which are exalted to heaven, shall be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in you, had been done in Burning (Sodom), it would have remained until this day.

24 But I say to you: It shall be more tolerable for the land of Burning (Sodom) in the day of judgment, than for you.

25 At that time I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) prayed and said: I thank You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to babes.

26 Even so, Father: It seemed good in your sight.

27 All things are delivered to Me by my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither does any man know the Father, save the Son and to whoever the Son will reveal Him.

28 Come to Me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.

30 For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.

Gift of I AM (Matthew) 3

1 In those days came Yahweh is a gracious giver (John) the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Land of Praise (Judaea),

2 Saying: Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Yahweh’s Help (Isaiah), saying: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.

Yahweh is a gracious giver (John) had clothing of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

5 The people went out to him Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), and all Land of Praise (Judaea), and all the region round about The Descender (Jordan),

6 And were baptized by him in The Descender (Jordan), confessing their sins.

7 But when he saw many of  The Separate (Pharisees) and The Righteous (Sadducees) come to his baptism, he said to them: O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

8 Bring forth, therefore, fruits proving repentance:

9 Do not think to say within yourselves: We have Father of a Multitude (Abraham) as our father: for I say to you, that God is able to cause these stones to raise up children to Father of a Multitude (Abraham).

10 And now also the axe is laid to the root of the trees: therefore, every tree which brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

11 I indeed baptize you with water for repentance. but He that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

12 Whose fan is in His hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

13 Then Yahweh is Our Salvation (Yeshua) came from Circuit-District (Galilee) to The Descender (Jordan) to Yahweh is a gracious giver (John), to be baptized by him.

14 But Yahweh is a gracious giver (John) forbade him, saying, I need to be baptized of you, and you come to me?

15 But Yahweh is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered him: Permit it to be so now: for it becomes us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he permitted him.

16 Yahweh is Our Salvation (Yeshua), when He was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him:

17 And heard a voice from heaven, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
