Jesus

An expert in Torah stood up to try and trap him by asking, “Rabbi, what should I do to obtain eternal life?”

He answered, “You are to love Adonai your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength and with all your understanding; and your neighbor as yourself.”

“That’s the right answer,” Yeshua said. “Do this, and you will have life.”

But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Yeshua, “And who is my ‘neighbor’?”

Taking up the question, Yeshua said: “A man was going down from Yerushalayim to Yericho when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him naked and beat him up, then went off, leaving him half dead.

He answered, “The one who showed mercy toward him.” Yeshua said to him, “You go and do as he did.”

On their way Yeshua and his talmidim came to a village where a woman named Marta welcomed him into her home.

She had a sister called Miryam who also sat at the Lord’s feet and heard what he had to say.

But Marta was busy with all the work to be done; so, going up to him, she said, “Sir, don’t you care that my sister has been leaving me to do all the work by myself?”

However, the Lord answered her, “Marta, Marta, you are fretting and worrying about so many things!

One time Yeshua was in a certain place praying. As he finished, one of the talmidim said to him, “Sir, teach us to pray, just as Yochanan taught his talmidim.”

He said to them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, May your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come.

He was expelling a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the man who had been mute spoke; and the people were astounded.

And others, trying to trap him, demanded from him a sign from Heaven.

But he, knowing what they were thinking, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, with one house collapsing on another.

So if the Adversary too is divided against himself, how can his kingdom survive? I’m asking because you claim it is by Ba‘al-Zibbul that I drive out the demons.

If I drive out demons by Ba‘al-Zibbul, by whom do your people drive them out? So, they will be your judges!

But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you!

Those who are not with me are against me, and those who do not gather with me are scattering.

As Yeshua was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice to call out, “How blessed is the mother that gave birth to you and nursed you from her breast!”

But he said, “Far more blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it!”

As the people crowded around him, Yeshua went on to say, “This generation is a wicked generation! It asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it — except the sign of Yonah.

For just as Yonah became a sign to the people of Ninveh, so will the Son of Man be for this generation.

As Yeshua spoke, a Parush asked him to eat dinner with him; so he went in and took his place at the table;
