Bible Verses About The Christ Jesus

Yeshua's father and mother were marvelling at the things Shim`on was saying about him.

Shim`on blessed them and said to the child's mother, Miryam, "This child will cause many in Isra'el to fall and to rise, he will become a sign whom people will speak against;

moreover, a sword will pierce your own heart too. All this will happen in order to reveal many people's inmost thoughts."

Then Yeshua, filled with the Ruach HaKodesh, returned from the Yarden and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness

for forty days of testing by the Adversary. During that time he ate nothing, and afterwards he was hungry.

The Adversary said to him, "If you are the Son of God, order this stone to become bread."

Yeshua answered him, "The Tanakh says, `Man does not live on bread alone.'"

The Adversary took him up, showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world,

and said to him, "I will give you all this power and glory. It has been handed over to me, and I can give it to whomever I choose.

So if you will worship me, it will all be yours."

Yeshua answered him, "The Tanakh says, `Worship ADONAI your God and serve him only.'"

Then he took him to Yerushalayim, set him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, jump from here!

For the Tanakh says, `He will order his angels to be responsible for you and to protect you.

They will support you with their hands, so that you will not hurt your feet on the stones.'"

Yeshua answered him, "It also says, `Do not put ADONAI your God to the test.'"

When the Adversary had ended all his testings, he let him alone until an opportune time.

"The Spirit of ADONAI is upon me; therefore he has anointed me to announce Good News to the poor; he has sent me to proclaim freedom for the imprisoned and renewed sight for the blind, to release those who have been crushed,

to proclaim a year of the favor of ADONAI."

The P'rushim and their Torah-teachers protested indignantly against his talmidim, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with tax-collectors and sinners?"

It was Yeshua who answered them: "The ones who need a doctor aren't the healthy but the sick.

I have not come to call the `righteous,' but rather to call sinners to turn to God from their sins."

"Why do you call me, `Lord! Lord!' but not do what I say?

Everyone who comes to me, hears my words and acts on them -- I will show you what he is like:

he is like someone building a house who dug deep and laid the foundation on bedrock. When a flood came, the torrent beat against that house but couldn't shake it, because it was constructed well.

And whoever hears my words but doesn't act on them is like someone who built his house on the ground without any foundation. As soon as the river struck it, it collapsed and that house became a horrendous wreck!"
