The Life of Jesus

Many people from that town in Shomron put their trust in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me all the things I did.”

So when these people from Shomron came to him, they asked him to stay with them. He stayed two days,

and many more came to trust because of what he said.

They said to the woman, “We no longer trust because of what you said, because we have heard for ourselves. We know indeed that this man really is the Savior of the world.”

After the two days, he went on from there toward the Galil.

Now Yeshua himself said, “A prophet is not respected in his own country.”

But when he arrived in the Galil, the people there welcomed him, because they had seen all he had done at the festival in Yerushalayim; since they had been there too.

He went again to Kanah in the Galil, where he had turned the water into wine. An officer in the royal service was there; his son was ill in K’far-Nachum.

This man, on hearing that Yeshua had come from Y’hudah to the Galil, went and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

Yeshua answered, “Unless you people see signs and miracles, you simply will not trust!”

The officer said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”

Yeshua replied, “You may go, your son is alive.” The man believed what Yeshua said and left.

As he was going down, his servants met him with the news that his son was alive

So he asked them at what time he had gotten better; and they said, “The fever left him yesterday at one o’clock in the afternoon.”

The father knew that that was the very hour when Yeshua had told him, “Your son is alive”; and he and all his household trusted.

This was a second sign that Yeshua did; he did it after he had come from Y’hudah into the Galil.

After this, there was a Judean festival; and Yeshua went up to Yerushalayim.

In Yerushalayim, by the Sheep Gate, is a pool called in Aramaic, Beit-Zata,

in which lay a crowd of invalids — blind, lame, crippled.

For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.

Yeshua, seeing this man and knowing that he had been there a long time, said to him, “Do you want to be healed?”

The sick man answered, “I have no one to put me in the pool when the water is disturbed; and while I’m trying to get there, someone goes in ahead of me.”

Yeshua said to him, “Get up, pick up your mat and walk!”

Immediately the man was healed, and he picked up his mat and walked. Now that day was Shabbat,
