And when they came to Capernaum, and when they entered the House, he asked them, what disputed you, among yourselves, by the way. And they were Silent, for by the way, they had contended with one another, which should be the greatest, among them. Those who receive the Two Drachmas, as Head Tax, came to Peter, and said to him, does not your Teacher, pay his Two Drachmas. He said to them, yes, and when Peter entered, the House. Yeshua anticipated him, and said to him, how does it appear to you, Simon, the Kings, of the Earth, of whom do they receive Tribute, and Head Tax, of their Children, or of Aliens. Simon said to him, of Aliens. Yeshua said to him, then the Children are free, but still, lest they be stumbled, with us, go you, to the Lake, and cast in a Fish Hook, and the Fish, that shall First come up, open its Mouth, and you will find a Stater, that take, and give for me, and for you. And the thought arose among them, which of them was to be the greatest, and Yeshua knew the thought, of their Mind. In that Hour, the Disciples approached Yeshua, and said, who is the greatest in the Kingdom, of Heaven. And Yeshua sat down, and called the Twelve, and said to them, whoever would be First, let him be Last, of all, and Servant, to all. And Yeshua called a Child, and placed him in the Midst, of them, and took him, in his Arms, and said to them, Truly, I say to you, that unless you be converted, and become like Children, you will not enter the Kingdom, of Heaven. He therefore, that shall Humble himself, like this Child, he will be great, in the Kingdom, of Heaven, whoever receives a Child, like this, in my Name, receives me, and he that receives me, receives him, that sent me. For he that shall be Least, among you all, he will be the great One, and whosoever shall stumble One, of these little Ones, that believe in me, it were better for him, that a Millstone, were suspended to his Neck, and that he were sunk, in the Depths, of the Sea. And John answered, and said Teacher, we saw a Man, castings out Devil Spirits, in your Name, and we forbid him, because he did not come with us, as your Follower. Yeshua said to them, forbid him not, for there is no one, who does mighty works, in my Name, that can readily speak Evil, of me, whoever therefore, is not against you, is for you. For whoever shall give you, to drink a Cup, of Water, only on the ground, that you are the Messiah's Followers, Truly, I say to you, he will not lose, his Reward. And whoever shall cause One, of these little Ones, that believe in me, to stumble, it were better for him, if a Millstone, were put to his Neck, and he cast into the Sea.

Woe to the World, because of stumbling Blocks, for it must be, that stumbling Blocks come, but woe, to the Person, by whose means, the stumbling Blocks come. And if your Hand, make you stumble, cut if off, it is better for you, to enter into Life, Maimed, than having Two Hands, to go into Hell, where their Worm Dies not, and their Fire, is not Extinguished. And if your Foot, make you Stumble, cut if off, it is better for you, to enter into Life, Lamed, than having Two Feet, to fall into Hell, where their Worm Dies not, and their Fire, is not Extinguished. And if your Eye, make you stumble, pluck it out, it is better for you to enter with One Eye, into the Kingdom, of Elohim, than having Two Eyes, to fall into the Hell, of Fire, where their Worm Dies not, and their Fire, is not Extinguished. For everything will be Salted, with Fire, and every Sacrifice, will be Salted, with Salt. Salt is a good thing, but if the Salt become insipid, with what will it be Salted. Let there be Salt, in you, and be you in Peace, one with another. See that you despise not One, of these little Ones, for I say to you, that their Angels, in Heaven, at all Times, are beholding the Face, of my Father, who is in Heaven. For the Son, of Man, has come to give Life, to that which was Lost, how does it appear to you, if a Man should have a Hundred Sheep, and One of them, should go astray, will he not leave the Ninety, and Nine, in the Mountains, and go, and seek the One that strayed, and if he find it. Truly, I say to you, that he rejoices in it more, than in the Ninety, and Nine, that did not stray, just so, it is not the pleasure, of your Father, who is in Heaven, that One, of these little Ones, should Perish. Moreover, if your Brother commit an Offence, against you, go, and admonish him, between you, and him. Only if he hear you, you have gained your Brother, but if he hear you not, take with you One, or Two, that at the Mouth, of Two, or Three Witnesses, every Word, may be established. And if he also will not hear them, tell it to the Congregation, let him be to you, as a Tax Collector, and a Heathen. Truly, I say to you, that whatever you shall Bind, on Earth, shall be Bound, in Heaven, and whatever you shall Unbind, on Earth, shall be Unbound, in Heaven.

Again I say to you, that if Two, of you, shall agree, on Earth, concerning anything, that they shall ask, it shall be to them, from my Father, who is in Heaven, for where Two, or Three, are assembled in my Name, there am I, in the Midst, of them. Then Peter approached him, and said to him, my Lord, how many Times, if my Brother commit Offence, against me, shall I Forgive him, up to Seven Times. Yeshua said to him, I do not say to you, up to Seven Times, but up to Seventy, Times Seven. Therefore the Kingdom, of Heaven, is like to some King, who wished to have a Reckoning, with his Servants, and when he began to Reckon, they brought to him, One Debtor, of Ten Thousand Talents. And as he had not, wherewith to pay, his Lord, commanded him, to be sold, him, and his Wife, and his Children, and all that he possessed, and payment to be made. And that Servant fell down, and worshipped him, and said, my Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you, the whole. And his Lord had compassion, on that Servant, and set him Free, and Forgave him, his Debt. Then that Servant went out, and found One, of his Fellow Servants, who owed him a Hundred Denarii, and he laid hold, of him, and choked him, and said to him, pay me, what you owe me. And that Fellow Servant, fell at his Feet, and entreated him, and said, have patience with me, and I will pay you, the whole. But he would not, but went, and cast him, into prison, until he should pay him, what he owed him. And when their Fellow Servants, saw what was done, it grieved them much, and they came, and made known to their Lord, all that had occurred. Then his Lord called him, and said to him, you Vile Servant, I Forgave you, that whole Debt, because you entreated, of me, ought not you also, to have compassion, on your Fellow Servant, as I had compassion, on you. And his Lord, was angry, and delivered him, over to the Torturers, until he should pay all, he owed him. So will my Father, who is in Heaven, do to you, unless you from your Mind, Forgive each his Brother, his Offence.

And it happened, when the Days to go up on his journey, were completed, so it was that, he set his Face, to go up to Jerusalem. And he sent Messengers, before his Face, and they went, and entered into a Samaritan Village, to prepare for him, and they received him not, because he had set his Face, to go up to Jerusalem. And when his Disciples, James, and John, saw it, they said to him, our Lord, will you that we speak, and Fire come down, from Heaven, and consume them, as also did Elijah. And he turned, and rebuked them, and said, you know not, of what Power you are, for the Son, of Man, did not come to destroy lives, but to save. And they went to another Village, and as they went by, One said to him, I will Follow you, to whatever place you go, my Lord. Yeshua said to him, the Foxes, have Holes, and the Birds, of the Sky, have Nests, but the Son, of Man, has not, where he may lay his Head. And he said to another, come you, after me. And he said to him, my Lord, permit me First, to go, and bury my Father. And Yeshua said to him, allow the Dead, to bury their Dead, and go you, and Proclaim the Kingdom, of Elohim. Another said to him, I will Follow you, my Lord, but allow me First, to entrust my Household, to someone, and I will come. Yeshua said to him, no Man putting his Hand, to the Ox Plough, and looking backward, is fit for the Kingdom, of Elohim. And after these things, Yeshua separated from among his Disciples, Seventy other Persons, and sent them Two, and Two, before his Face, to every place, and City, whither he was to go. And he said to them, the Harvest is great, and the Laborers few, Pray you therefore, the Lord, of the Harvest, that he would send Laborers, into his Harvest, go you, I send you forth, as Sheep, among Wolves. Take to you, no Purses, nor Bags, nor Sandals, and salute no Man, by the way, and into whatever House, you enter, first say Peace, be to this House, and if the Son, of Peace, is there, your salutation will rest upon it, but if not, your salutation will return to you. And remain in that House, eating, and drinking, of what it affords, for the Laborer, is worthy, of his hire, and pass not from House, to House, And into whatever City you enter, and they receive you, eat that which set before you, and Heal them, that are Sick in it, and say to them, the Kingdom, of Elohim, has come near you. And into whatever City you enter, and they receive you not, go out into the Street, and say, even the Dust, of your City, which adheres to our Feet, we shake off, against you, but this know you, that the Kingdom, of Elohim, has come near to you. I say to you, that for Sodom, there will be comfort, in that Day, rather than for that City. Woe, to you Chorazin. Woe, to you Bethsaida. For if in Tyre, and Sidon, there had been the Mighty Deeds, that were in you, they would long ago, have Repented, in Sackcloth, and Ashes, but for Tyre, and Sidon, there will be comfort, in the Day, of Judgment, rather than for you. And you Capernaum, that are lifted up, to Heaven, shall be brought down, to Hell. He that hears you, hears me, and he that despises you, despises me, and he that despises me, despises him, that sent me.

And the Seventy, whom he sent forth, returned with great joy, and said to him, our Lord, even the Devil Spirits, were subject to us, in your Name. And he said to them, I saw Satan, fall like the Lightning, from the Sky, I give you Authority, to tread on Serpents, and Scorpions, and on all the Power, of the Adversary, and nothing shall harm you. Yet rejoice not in this, that the Devils Spirits, are subject to you, but rejoice, that your Names, are Written, in Heaven. In that Hour, exulted in the Power, and said, I thank you my Father, you Yahweh, of Heaven, and Earth, that you have hid these things, from the Wise, and Intelligent, and have revealed them, to Babes. Yes my Father, for such was your good Pleasure, and he turned himself, to his Disciples, and said to them, everything is Committed to me, by my Father, and no one knows who the Son, is but the Father, or who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son, is pleased, to reveal him. And he turned to his Disciples, Privately, and said, Blessed are the Eyes, that see, what you see, for I say to you, that many Prophets, and Kings, desired to see, what you see, and did not see it, and to hear, what you hear, and did not hear it. And a Scribe stood up, to try him, and said, Teacher, what must I do, to Inherit Eternal Life. And Yeshua said to him, how is it Written, in the Law, how read you. He answered, and said to him, you shall love Yahweh, your Elohim, with all your Heart, and with all your Soul, and with all your Might, and with all your Mind, and your Neighbor, as yourself. Yeshua said to him, you have said correctly, do this, and you will live. And he being disposed, to Justify himself, said, and who is my Neighbor. Yeshua said to him, a certain Man, was going down from Jerusalem, to Jericho, and Robbers fell upon him, and plundered him, and smote him, and left him, with little life, in him, and went their way. And a certain Priest, went down by that way, and he saw him, and passed on, so also a Levite came, approached the spot, and saw him, and passed on, but a Samaritan, as he travelled, came where he was, and saw him, and took Pity on him. And went to him, and bound up his Wounds, and poured Wine, and Oil on them, and placed him upon his Ass, and brought him to the Inn. And took care of him, and on the Morning, of the next Day, he took out Two Denarii, and gave to the Host, and said, take good care, of him, and if you expend any more, when I return, I will repay you. Which therefore, of these Three, appears to you, to have been Neighbor, to him, that fell into the Hands, of Marauders. And he said, he that had Pity on him. Yeshua said to him, go, and do also you, the like.

And it occurred, as they Travelled by the way, that he entered a certain Village, and a Woman, whose Name was Martha, received him, at her House. And she had a Sister, whose Name was Mary, and she came, and seated herself, at the Feet, of our Lord, and listened to his Discourses, but Martha, was occupied with much service. And she came, and said to him, my Lord, have you no concern, that my Sister has left me, to serve alone, bid her, assist me. Yeshua answered, and said to her Martha, Martha, you are anxious, and troubled, about many things, yet, but one thing is necessary, and Mary, has chosen for herself, the good part, which shall not be taken, from her. And as he was Praying, in a certain place, it occurred, that when he ceased, One of his Disciples, said to him, our Lord, teach us to Pray, as also John, taught his Disciples. Yeshua said to them, when you pray, this speak you, our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallow, be your Name, your Kingdom come, your Pleasure, be done, as in Heaven, so on Earth. Give us Daily, the Bread we need, and remit to us, our Sins, for also we remit, to all that are indebted to us, and bring us not, into Trials, but deliver us, from Evil. And he said to them, which of you, shall have a Friend, that shall come to him, at Midnight, and say to him, my Friend, lend me Three Cakes, for a Friend, has come to me, from a Journey, and I have nothing, to set before him. And his Friend within, shall answer, and say to him, do not disturb me, for the Door is closed, and my Children with me, in Bed, I cannot rise, and give you. I say to you, if he give him not, on account of Friendship, yet, because of his persistence, he will rise, and give him as much, as he asks. I also say to you, ask, and it will be given you, seek, and you will find, knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone that asks, receives, and he that seeks, finds, and to him that knocks, it is opened. For which of you, being a Father, if his Son shall ask him, for Bread, will he reach to him, a Stone, or if he ask, of him, a Fish, will he instead of a Fish, reach to him, a Serpent, or if he ask, of him, an Egg, will he reach to him, a Scorpion. And if you, who are Evil, know how to give good things, to your Children, how much more, will your Father, from Heaven, give the Power, to them, that ask him.

And as he was casting out, a Devil Spirit, that was Dumb, it occurred, that when the Devil Spirit gone out, the Dumb Man spoke. And the People were amazed, but some of them said, it is by Beelzebub, the Prince, of Devil Spirits, that he casts out, Devil Spirits. And others to tempt him, asked of him, a Sign, from Heaven. But Yeshua, as he know their thoughts, said to them, every Kingdom that is divided, against itself, will become a desolation, and a house that is divided, against itself, will fall, and if Satan, be divided against himself, how will his Kingdom survive. Since you say, that I by Beelzebub, cast out Devil Spirits, and if I by Beelzebub, cast out Devil Spirits, by whom do your Sons, cast them out, therefore, will they be to you, Judges, but if I, by the Finger, of God, cast out Devils Spirits, the Kingdom, of Elohim, has come near to you. When a strong Man, Armed, keeps his Doorway, his Property rests securely, but if a stronger than he, come, and overpower him, he takes away all his Arms, on which he relied, and divided the Spoil, of him. He that is not for me, is against me, and he that gathers not with me, actually scatters. An Unclean Spirit, when it goes out of a Man, goes wandering in places, where no Water is, in order to find rest, and as he cannot find it, it said, I will return to my Habitation, from which I came, and when he comes, he finds it swept clean, and set in order. Then he goes, and takes Seven other Spirits, worse than itself, and they enter in, and dwell there, and the last State, of that Man, is worse, than the First. And while he was saying these things, a certain Woman, from the Crowd, lifter up her voice, and said to him, Blessed is the Womb, that carried you, and the Breasts, that Nursed you. He said to her, Blessed are they, who hear the Word, of Elohim, and keep it. And when the People were assembled, he began to say, this Evil Generation, seeks a Sign, and no Sign will be given it, but the Sign, of Jonah, the Prophet. For as Jonah, was a Sign, to the Ninevites, so also will the Son, of Man, be a Sign, to this Generation.

The Queen, of the South, will stand up in the Judgment, with the Men, of this Generation, and will Condemn them, for she came from the other side, of the Earth, to hear the Wisdom, of Solomon, and One Superior, to Solomon, is here. The Men, of Nineveh, will stand up in the Judgment, with this Generation, and will Condemn it, for they Repented, at the Preaching, of Jonah, and One Superior, to Jonah, is here. No one lights a Lamp, and puts it in a Secret place, or under a Bushel, but upon a Lightstand, that they who come in, may see its Light. The Lamp, of your Body, is your Eye, therefore, when your Eye is sound, your whole Body, will be enlightened, but if it be bad, your Body, also will be Dark. See to it, therefore, lest the Light that is in you, be Darkness, for if your Whole Body, be enlightened, and no part in it, be Dark, the Whole, will be Luminous, as if a Lamp, enlightened you, by its Radiance. And while he was speaking, a certain Pharisee, requested him, to dine with him, and he went in, and reclined, and the Pharisee, noticing him, wondered that he did not first wash, before dinner. And Yeshua said to him, now you Pharisees, make clean the Exterior, of the Cup, and the Dish, but your Interior, is full of Extortion, and Wickedness. You deficient, in understanding, did not he who made the Exterior, make also the Interior, but give you Alms, from what you Possess, and everything will be clean to you, but woe to you Pharisees, for you Tithe, Mint, and Rue, and every Pot Herb, but pass over Justice, and the love, of Elohim. Now you ought to do these things, and not to omit those, woe to you Pharisees, who love the Chief Seats, in the Synagogues, and a Salutation, in the Streets. Woe to you Scribes, and Pharisees, Hypocrites, for you are like Graves, that are unknown, and Men walk over them, and do not know it. And One of the Scribes, replied, and said to him, Teacher, while saying these things, you reproach also us. And he said, woe, also to you, you Scribes, who lade Men, with heavy burdens, yet, you yourselves, will not touch those burdens, with One, of your Fingers. Woe to you, who Build the Sepulchres, of the Prophets, whom your Fathers, Slew, thus you Testify, that you acquiesce, in the Deeds, of your Fathers, for they Slew them, and you Build their Sepulchres. Therefore, has Wisdom said, I will send to them Prophets, and Apostles, and some of them, they will Persecute, and Slay, that from this Generation, may be required, the Blood, of all the Prophets, which has been Shed, since the World, was Created. From the Blood, of Abel, to the Blood, of Zachariah, who was Slain, between the Temple, and the Altar, yea, say I to you, it will be required, of this Generation. Woe to you Scribes, for you have taken away the Keys, of knowledge, you yourselves enter not, and them that are entering, you hinder. And when he had said these things, to them, the Scribes, and Pharisees, began to be displeased, and they were enraged, and criticized, his Discourses, and they plotted against him, in many ways, seeking to catch something, from his Lips, so that, they might accuse him.
