John 6: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews:


הפרק 6

ויהי אחרי כן ויצא ישוע אל עבר ים הגליל אשר לטיבריה׃

2 וילכו אחריו המון עם רב כי ראו אותתיו אשר עשה עם החולים׃

3 ויעל ישוע על ההר וישב שם הוא ותלמידיו׃

4 וימי הפסח חג היהודים קרבו לבוא׃

5 וישא ישוע את עיניו וירא עם רב בא אליו ויאמר אל פילפוס מאין נקנה להם לחם לאכל׃

6 ואך למען נסות אתו דבר זאת כי הוא ידע את אשר יעשה׃

7 ויען אתו פילפוס לחם מאתים דינר לא ימצא להם לקחת לו איש איש מעט׃

8 ויאמר אליו אחד מתלמידיו אנדרי אחי שמעון פטרוס׃

9 יש פה נער אשר לו חמש ככרות לחם שערים ושני דגים אך אלה מה המה לעם רב כזה׃

10 ויאמר ישוע צוו את העם לשבת ארצה וירק דשא לרב היה במקום ההוא וישבו לארץ כחמשת אלפי איש במספר׃

11 ויקח ישוע את ככרות הלחם ויברך ויתן לתלמידיו והתלמידים אל המסבים וככה גם מן הדגים כאות נפשם׃

12 ויהי כאשר שבעו ויאמר אל תלמידיו אספו את פתותי לחם הנותרים למען לא יאבד מאומה׃

13 ויאספו וימלאו שנים עשר סלים בפתותי חמש ככרות לחם השערים הנותרים לאכליהם׃

14 ויהי כראות האנשים את האות הזה אשר עשה ישוע ויאמרו הנה זה הוא באמת הנביא הבא לעולם׃

15 וידע ישוע כי יבאו ויתפשהו להמליך אותו וימלט עוד הפעם אל ההר הוא לבדו׃

16 ויהי בערב וירדו תלמידיו אל הים ויבאו באניה ויעברו אל עבר הים אל כפר נחום׃

17 ויכס אתם החשך וישוע לא בא אליהם׃

18 ויסער הים כי רוח גדולה נושבת׃

19 והם חתרו במשוטיהם כדרך עשרים וחמש או שלשים ריס ויראו את ישוע מתהלך על הים הלוך וקרב אל האניה וייראו׃

20 ויאמר אליהם אני הוא אל תיראו׃

21 ויואילו לקחת אתו אל האניה ורגע הגיעה האניה לארץ אשר הם הלכים שמה׃

22 ויהי ממחרת וירא המון העם העמד מעבר לים כי לא היתה אניה בזה בלתי אחת אשר ירדו בה תלמידיו וכי ישוע לא בא עם תלמידיו אל האניה אך תלמידיו לבדם נסעו מזה׃

23 ואניות אחרות באו מטיברים קרוב למקום אשר אכלו שם את הלחם בברכת האדון׃

24 ויהי כראות המון העם כי ישוע איננו שם אף לא תלמידיו וירדו גם הם באניות ויבאו אל כפר נחום לבקש את ישוע׃

25 וכאשר מצאו אתו מעבר הים ויאמרו אליו רבי מתי באת הלם׃

26 ויען אתם ישוע ויאמר אמן אמן אני אמר לכם לא על ראותכם את האתות תבקשוני כי אם על אשר אכלתם מן הלחם ותשבעו׃

27 אל תעמלו במאכל אשר יאבד כי אם במאכל הקים לחיי עולמים אשר בן האדם יתננו לכם כי בו חתם חותמו אביו האלהים׃

28 ויאמרו אליו מה נעשה לפעל פעלות אלהים׃

29 ויען ישוע ויאמר אליהם זאת פעלת אלהים כי תאמינו בזה אשר הוא שלחו׃

30 ויאמרו אליו מה אפוא האות אשר תעשה למעננראה ונאמין בך מה תפעל׃

31 אבותינו אכלו את המן במדבר כאשר כתוב לחם מן השמים נתן למו לאכל׃

32 ויאמר אליהם ישוע אמן אמן אני אמר לכם לא משה נתן לכם את הלחם מן השמים כי אם אבי נתן לכם את הלחם מן השמים האמתי׃

33 כי לחם אלהים הוא היורד מן השמים ונתן חיים לעולם׃

34 ויאמרו אליו אדני תנה לנו תמיד את הלחם הזה׃

35 ויאמר להם ישוע אנכי הוא לחם החיים כל הבא אלי לא ירעב ואשר יאמין בי לא יצמא עוד׃

36 ואני הנה אמרתי לכם כי גם חזיתם אתי ולא תאמינו׃

37 כל אשר יתננו לי אבי יבוא אלי והבא אלי לא אהדפנו החוצה׃

38 כי ירדתי מן השמים לא לעשות רצוני כי אם רצון שלחי׃

39 וזה רצון האב אשר שלחני כי כל אשר נתן לי לא יאבד לי כי אם אקימנו ביום האחרון׃

40 וזה רצון שלחי אשר כל הראה את הבן ומאמין בו יהיו לו חיי עולמים ואני אקימנו ביום האחרון׃

41 וילנו עליו היהודים על אמרו אנכי הוא הלחם הירד מן השמים׃

42 ויאמרו הלא זה הוא ישוע בן יוסף אשר אנחנו ידעים את אביו ואת אמו ואיך יאמר מן השמים באתי׃

43 ויען ישוע ויאמר אליהם אל תלינו איש אל רעהו׃

44 לא יוכל איש לבוא אלי בלתי אם ימשכהו אבי אשר שלחני ואני אקימנו ביום האחרון׃

45 הלא כתוב בנביאים וכל בניך למודי יהוה לכן כל אשר שמע מן האב ולמד יבא אלי׃

46 לא כאלו ראה איש את האב בלתי הבא מאת האלהים הוא ראה את האלהים׃

47 אמן אמן אני אמר לכם המאמין בי לו חיי עולמים׃

48 אנכי הוא לחם החיים׃

49 אבותיכם אכלו את המן במדבר וימתו׃

50 זה הוא הלחם הירד מן השמים למען יאכל איש ממנו ולא ימות׃

51 אנכי הלחם החי הירד מן השמים איש כי יאכל מן הלחם הזה יחיה לעולם והלחם אשר אתננו הוא בשרי אשר אני נתן בעד חיי העולם׃

52 ויתוכחו היהודים איש עם רעהו לאמר איכה יוכל זה לתת לנו את בשרו לאכל׃

53 ויאמר אליהם ישוע אמן אמן אני אמר לכם אם לא תאכלו את בשר בן האדם ושתיתם את דמו אין לכם חיים בקרבכם׃

54 האכל את בשרי והשתה את דמי יש לו חיי עולמים ואני אקימנו ביום האחרון׃

55 כי בשרי באמת הוא מאכל ודמי באמת הוא משקה׃

56 האכל את בשרי ושתה את דמי הוא ילין בי ואני בו׃

57 כאשר שלחני האב החי ואנכי חי בגלל אבי כן האכל אתי גם הוא יחיה בגללי׃

58 זה הוא הלחם הירד מן השמים לא כאשר אכלו אבותיכם את המן וימתו האכל את הלחם הזה יחיה לעולם׃

59 כזאת דבר בבית הכנסת בלמדו בכפר נחום׃

60 ורבים מתלמידיו כשמעם אמרו קשה הדבר הזה מי יוכל לשמע אתו׃

61 ויבן ישוע בלבו כי תלמידיו מלינים על זאת ויאמר אליהם הזאת לכם למכשול׃

62 מה אפוא אם תראו את בן האדם עלה אל אשר היה שם לפנים׃

63 הרוח הוא הנתן חיים והבשר אין בו מועיל הדברים אשר אני דברתי אליכם רוח המה וחיים המה׃

64 אך יש מכם אשר לא יאמינו כי ישוע ידע מראש מי הם אשר אינם מאמינים ומי המוסר אתו׃

65 ויאמר על כן אמרתי לכם כי לא יוכל איש לבוא אלי בלתי אם נתן לו מאת אבי׃

66 מן העת הזאת רבים מתלמידיו נסגו אחור ולא יספו להתהלך אתו׃

67 ויאמר ישוע אל שנים העשר היש את נפשכם גם אתם לסור ממני׃

68 ויען אתו שמעון פטרוס אדני אל מי נלך דברי חיי עולמים עמך׃

69 ואנחנו האמנו ונדע כי אתה המשיח בן אל חי׃

70 ויען אתם ישוע הלא בחרתי אני בכם שנים העשר ואחד מכם שטן הוא׃

71 זאת אמר על יהודה בן שמעון איש קריות כי עתיד היה למסרו והוא אחד משנים העשר׃

"Jesus Feeds Five Thousand

After this, Jesus crossed over to the far side of the Sea of Galilee, also known as the Sea of Tiberias.  A huge crowd kept following him wherever he went, because they saw his miraculous signs as he healed the sick.  Then Jesus climbed a hill and sat down with his disciples around him.  (It was nearly time for the Jewish Passover celebration.)  Jesus soon saw a huge crowd of people coming to look for him. Turning to Philip, he asked, “Where can we buy bread to feed all these people?”  He was testing Philip, for he already knew what he was going to do.

Philip replied, “Even if we worked for months, we wouldn’t have enough money to feed them!”

Then Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up.  “There’s a young boy here with five barley loaves and two fish. But what good is that with this huge crowd?”

“Tell everyone to sit down,” Jesus said. So they all sat down on the grassy slopes. (The men alone numbered about 5,000.)  Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks to God, and distributed them to the people. Afterward he did the same with the fish. And they all ate as much as they wanted.  After everyone was full, Jesus told his disciples, “Now gather the leftovers, so that nothing is wasted.”  So they picked up the pieces and filled twelve baskets with scraps left by the people who had eaten from the five barley loaves.

When the people saw him do this miraculous sign, they exclaimed, “Surely, he is the Prophet we have been expecting!”  When Jesus saw that they were ready to force him to be their king, he slipped away into the hills by himself.


Jesus Walks on Water

That evening Jesus’ disciples went down to the shore to wait for him.  But as darkness fell and Jesus still hadn’t come back, they got into the boat and headed across the lake toward Capernaum.  Soon a gale swept down upon them, and the sea grew very rough.  They had rowed three or four miles when suddenly they saw Jesus walking on the water toward the boat. They were terrified,  but he called out to them, “Don’t be afraid. I am here!”  Then they were eager to let him in the boat, and immediately they arrived at their destination!


Jesus, the Bread of Life

The next day the crowd that had stayed on the far shore saw that the disciples had taken the only boat, and they realized Jesus had not gone with them.  Several boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the Lord had blessed the bread and the people had eaten.  So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went across to Capernaum to look for him.  They found him on the other side of the lake and asked, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, you want to be with me because I fed you, not because you understood the miraculous signs.  But don’t be so concerned about perishable things like food. Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that the Son of Man can give you. For God the Father has given me the seal of his approval.”

They replied, “We want to perform God’s works, too. What should we do?”

Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.”

They answered, “Show us a miraculous sign if you want us to believe in you. What can you do?  After all, our ancestors ate manna while they journeyed through the wilderness! The Scriptures say, ‘Moses gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”

Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, Moses didn’t give you bread from heaven. My Father did. And now he offers you the true bread from heaven.  The true bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

“Sir,” they said, “give us that bread every day.”

 Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.  But you haven’t believed in me even though you have seen me.  However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them.  For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will.  And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them up at the last day.  For it is my Father’s will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day.”

Then the people began to murmur in disagreement because he had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”  They said, “Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph? We know his father and mother. How can he say, ‘I came down from heaven’?”

But Jesus replied, “Stop complaining about what I said.  For no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them up.  As it is written in the Scriptures, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.  (Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only I, who was sent from God, have seen him.)

“I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life.  Yes, I am the bread of life!  Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died.  Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die.  I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh.”

Then the people began arguing with each other about what he meant. “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” they asked.

So Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you.  But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day.  For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.  Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.  I live because of the living Father who sent me; in the same way, anyone who feeds on me will live because of me.  I am the true bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will not die as your ancestors did (even though they ate the manna) but will live forever.”

He said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.


Many Disciples Desert Jesus

Many of his disciples said, “This is very hard to understand. How can anyone accept it?”

Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining, so he said to them, “Does this offend you?  Then what will you think if you see the Son of Man ascend to heaven again?  The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.  But some of you do not believe me.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning which ones didn’t believe, and he knew who would betray him.)  Then he said, “That is why I said that people can’t come to me unless the Father gives them to me.”

At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him.  Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?”

Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. We believe, and we know you are the Holy One of God.”

Then Jesus said, “I chose the twelve of you, but one is a devil.”  He was speaking of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, one of the Twelve, who would later betray him."

Ephesians 2: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews:


הפרק 2

גם אתכם המתים לפנים בפשעיכם וחטאתיכם׃

2 אשר התהלכתם בהם לפי דור העולם הזה כרצון שר ממשלת האויר והוא הרוח הפעל כעת בבני המרי׃

3 וגם אנחנו כלנו בתוכם הלכנו לפנים בתאות הבשר לעשות חפצי בשרנו ומחשבותינו ונהי אך בני רגז בטבענו כאשר בני אדם׃

4 אבל האלהים המלא רחמים ברב אהבתו אשר אהב אתנו׃

5 אחרי היותנו מתים בפשעים החינו עם המשיח בחסד נושעתם׃

6 ויעירנו אתו אף הושיבנו במרומים במשיח ישוע׃

7 להראות בדרות הבאים את גדלת עשר חסדו בטובתו עלינו במשיח ישוע׃

8 כי בחסד נושעתם על ידי האמונה ולא מידכם היתה זאת כי מתת אלהים היא׃

9 לא מתוך המעשים שלא יתהלל איש׃

10 כי פעל אלהים אנחנו נבראים במשיח ישוע למעשים טובים אשר הכין האלהים מקדם למען נתהלך בהם׃

11 על כן זכרו כי אתם הגוים בבשר הנקראים ערלים בפי הנקראים בני המילה שהיא מעשה ידים בבשר׃

12 כי אתם בעת ההיא הייתם בלי משיח מוזרים לעדת ישראל ונכרים לבריתות ההבטחה באין תקוה ובאין לכם אלהים בעולם׃

13 ועתה בישוע המשיח אתם הרחוקים מאז הייתם קרובים בדם המשיח׃

14 כי הוא שלומנו אשר עשה השנים לאחד והרס מחיצת הגדר׃

15 בבטלו האיבה בבשרו את תורת המצות בגזרותיהן לברא בנפשו את השנים לאיש אחד חדש ויעש שלום׃

16 וירצה את שניהם בגוף אחד לאלהים על ידי צליבתו בהמיתו בנפשו את האיבה׃

17 ויבא ויבשר שלום לכם הרחוקים והקרובים׃

18 כי על ידו יש לשנינו מבוא ברוח אחד אל אבינו׃

19 לכן אינכם עוד גרים ותושבים כי אתם בני עיר אחת עם הקדשים ובני בית אלהים׃

20 בנוים על יסוד השליחים והנביאים וישוע המשיח הוא אבן הפנה׃

21 אשר חבר בו יחד הבנין כלו עדי יגבה להיכל קדש ליהוה׃

22 ובו נבנים גם אתם להיות משכן אלהים ברוח׃


English:


"Made Alive with Christ

Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins.  You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world.  He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God.  All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else.

But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!) For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus.  So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of his grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us who are united with Christ Jesus.

God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.  Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.  For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.


Oneness and Peace in Christ

Don’t forget that you Gentiles used to be outsiders. You were called “uncircumcised heathens” by the Jews, who were proud of their circumcision, even though it affected only their bodies and not their hearts.  In those days you were living apart from Christ. You were excluded from citizenship among the people of Israel, and you did not know the covenant promises God had made to them. You lived in this world without God and without hope.  But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ.

For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us. He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new people from the two groups.  Together as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of his death on the cross, and our hostility toward each other was put to death.

He brought this Good News of peace to you Gentiles who were far away from him, and peace to the Jews who were near.  Now all of us can come to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us.


A Temple for the Lord

So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family.  Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself.  We are carefully joined together in him, becoming a holy temple for the Lord.  Through him you Gentiles are also being made part of this dwelling where God lives by his Spirit."

Luke 12: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews:


הפרק 12

ויהי עד כה ועד כה בהתאסף רבבות עם עד כי לחצו איש את רעהו ויחל לדבר אל תלמידיו בראשונה השמרו לנפשתיכם משאור הפרושים שהוא החנפה׃

2 ואין דבר מכסה אשר לא יגלה ואין נעלם אשר לא יודע׃

3 לכן כל אשר דברתם בחשך באור ישמע ואת אשר לחשתם לאזן בחדרים קרא יקרא על הגגות׃

4 ואני אמר לכם ידידי אל תיראו מן הממיתים את הגוף ואחרי זאת אין לאל ידם לעשות עוד דבר׃

5 אבל אורה אתכם את אשר תיראו יראו את אשר יש לו שלטן אחרי המיתו להשליך אל גיהנם הן אני אמר לכם אותו תיראון׃

6 הלא חמש צפרים תמכרנה בשני אסרים ואין אחת מהן נשכחת לפני האלהים׃

7 ואתם גם שערות ראשכם נמנות כלן לכן אל תיראו יקרתם מצפרים רבות׃

8 ואני אמר לכם כל אשר יודה בי לפני האדם גם בן האדם יודה בו לפני מלאכי אלהים׃

9 ואשר יכחש בי לפני האדם הוא יכחש לפני מלאכי אלהים׃

10 וכל אשר ידבר דבר חרפה על בן האדם יסלח לו והמגדף את רוח הקדש לא יסלח לו׃

11 וכאשר יביאו אתכם אל בתי הכנסיות ולפני הרשיות והשלטונים אל תדאגו איך או במה תצטדקו ומה תדברו׃

12 כי רוח הקדש הוא יורה אתכם בשעה ההיא את הנכון לדבר׃

13 ויאמר אליו אחד מן העם רבי אמר נא אל אחי ויחלק אתי את הירשה׃

14 ויאמר אליו בן אדם מי שמני עליכם לשפט ולמחלק׃

15 ויאמר אליהם ראו והשמרו לכם מבצע בצע כי חיי האדם אינם תלוים בהרבות נכסיו׃

16 וישא משלו ויאמר אליהם לאמר שדה איש עשיר אחד עשה תבואה הרבה׃

17 ויחשב בלבו לאמר מה אעשה כי אין לי מקום לכנוס בו את תבואתי׃

18 ויאמר את זאת אעשה הרס את אסמי ובנה גדולים מהם ואכנסה שמה את כל יבולי וטובי׃

19 ואמר לנפשי נפשי יש לך עתודות הרבה לשנים רבות הנפשי אכלי שתי ושישי׃

20 והאלהים אמר לו אתה הכסיל בעצם הלילה הזה ידרשו ממך את נפשך ואשר הכינות לך למי יהיה׃

21 זה חלק האצר לו אצרות ולא יעשיר באלהים׃

22 ויאמר אל תלמידיו לכן אני אמר לכם אל תדאגו לנפשכם מה תאכלו ולגופכם מה תלבשו׃

23 הנפש יקרה היא מן המזון והגוף יקר מן המלבוש׃

24 התבוננו אל הערבים אשר אינם זרעים ואינם קצרים וגם אין להם מגורה ואוצר והאלהים מכלכל אותם ומה מעלים אתם מן העוף׃

25 ומי זה מכם אשר בדאגתו יוכל להוסיף אמה אחת על קומתו׃

26 ועתה הן מעט מזער אין ביכלתכם וליותר מה תדאגו׃

27 התבוננו אל השושנים הצמחות ואינן טות ואינן ארגות ואני אמר לכם כי גם שלמה בכל הדרו לא היה לבוש כאחת מהנה׃

28 ואם ככה ילביש אלהים את חציר השדה אשר היום ישנו ומחר ישלך לתוך התנור אף כי אתכם קטני האמונה׃

29 גם אתם אל תדרשו מה תאכלו ומה תשתו ואל תהלכו בגדלות׃

30 כי את כל אלה מבקשים גויי הארץ ואביכם הוא יודע כי צריכים אתם לאלה׃

31 אך בקשו את מלכות האלהים ונוסף לכם כל אלה׃

32 אל תירא העדר הקטן כי רצה אביכם לתת לכם את המלכות׃

33 מכרו את רכושכם ותנו צדקה עשו לכם כיסים אשר לא יבלו ואוצר בשמים אשר לא יגרע לעולם אשר גנב לא יקרב אליו וסס לא יאכלהו׃

34 כי במקום אשר אוצרכם בו שם יהיה גם לבבכם׃

35 מתניכם יהיו חגורים והנרות דלקים׃

36 ואתם היו דמים לאנשים המחכים לאדניהם מתי ישוב מן החתנה וכאשר יבוא ודפק יפתחו לו כרגע׃

37 אשרי העבדים ההם אשר בבוא האדון ימצאם שקדים אמן אמר אני לכם כי יתאזר ויושיבם וילך לשרת אותם׃

38 ואם יבוא באשמרה השנית או באשמרה השלישית וכן ימצא אשרי העבדים ההם׃

39 וזאת דעו אשר אם ידע ידע בעל הבית באי זו שעה יבוא הגנב כי עתה שקד שקוד ולא יתן לחתר את ביתו׃

40 לכן גם אתם היו נכונים כי בשעה אשר לא פללתם יבוא בן האדם׃

41 ויאמר פטרוס אדנינו הלנו אתה אמר את המשל הזה אם גם לכל אדם׃

42 ויאמר האדון מי הוא אפוא הסכן הנאמן והנבון אשר יפקידהו האדון על עבדתו לתת את ארחתם בעתו׃

43 אשרי העבד ההוא אשר בבא אדניו ימצאהו עשה כן׃

44 אמת אמר אני לכם כי על כל אשר יש לו יפקידהו׃

45 והעבד ההוא אם יאמר בלבו בשש אדני לבוא והחל להכות את העבדים ואת השפחות ולאכל ולשתות ולשכר׃

46 בוא יבוא אדני העבד ההוא ביום לא יצפה ובשעה לא ידע וישסף אותו וישים את חלקו עם הסוררים׃

47 ]84-74[ והעבד ההוא אשר ידע את רצון אדניו ולא הכין ולא עשה כרצונו יכה מכות רבות, ואשר לא ידע ועשה דברים אשר עליהם בן הכות הוא לא יכה כי אם מעט כי כל איש אשר נתן לו הרבה דרוש ידרש ממנו הרבה ואשר הפקידו בידו הרבה ישאלו מאתו יותר׃

48 ]84-74[׃

49 להפיל אש על הארץ באתי ומה חפץ אני כי כבר בערה׃

50 ועלי טבילה להטבל ומה יצר לי עד כי תשלם׃

51 החשבים אתם כי באתי לתת שלום בארץ אני אמר לכם לא כי אם מחלקת׃

52 כי מעתה חמשה בבית אחד יחלקו שלשה על שנים ושנים על שלשה׃

53 האב יחלק על הבן והבן על האב האם על הבת והבת על האם החמות על הכלה והכלה על החמות׃

54 ויאמר גם אל המון העם כראתכם את הענן עלה במערב ואמרתם גשם בא וכן יהיה׃

55 ואם נשבה רוח הנגב תאמרו הנה חם בא וגם יבוא׃

56 החנפים את פני הארץ והשמים ידעתם לבחן ואת העת הזאת איך לא תבחנו׃

57 למה אף מנפשכם לא תשפטו את הישר׃

58 כי כאשר תלך אל השר עם איש ריבך בעודך בדרך השתדל להנצל ממנו פן יסחב אותך אל השפט והשפט ימסרך אל השוטר והשוטר ישליכך אל בית הכלא׃

59 ואני אמר לך לא תצא משם עד אם שלמת גם את הפרוטה האחרונה׃


English:


"A Warning against Hypocrisy

Meanwhile, the crowds grew until thousands were milling about and stepping on each other. Jesus turned first to his disciples and warned them, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees—their hypocrisy.  The time is coming when everything that is covered up will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all.  Whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be shouted from the housetops for all to hear!

“Dear friends, don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot do any more to you after that.  But I’ll tell you whom to fear. Fear God, who has the power to kill you and then throw you into hell.  Yes, he’s the one to fear.

“What is the price of five sparrows—two copper coins? Yet God does not forget a single one of them.  And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.

“I tell you the truth, everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, the Son of Man will also acknowledge in the presence of God’s angels.  But anyone who denies me here on earth will be denied before God’s angels.  Anyone who speaks against the Son of Man can be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

“And when you are brought to trial in the synagogues and before rulers and authorities, don’t worry about how to defend yourself or what to say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what needs to be said.”


Parable of the Rich Fool

Then someone called from the crowd, “Teacher, please tell my brother to divide our father’s estate with me.”

Jesus replied, “Friend, who made me a judge over you to decide such things as that?”  Then he said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.”

Then he told them a story: “A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops.  He said to himself, ‘What should I do? I don’t have room for all my crops.’ Then he said, ‘I know! I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I’ll have room enough to store all my wheat and other goods.  And I’ll sit back and say to myself, “My friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry!”’

“But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?’

“Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.”


Teaching about Money and Possessions

Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said, “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear.  For life is more than food, and your body more than clothing.  Look at the ravens. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any birds!  Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?  And if worry can’t accomplish a little thing like that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things?

“Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.  And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?

“And don’t be concerned about what to eat and what to drink. Don’t worry about such things.  These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers all over the world, but your Father already knows your needs.  Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need.

“So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.

“Sell your possessions and give to those in need. This will store up treasure for you in heaven! And the purses of heaven never get old or develop holes. Your treasure will be safe; no thief can steal it and no moth can destroy it.  Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.


Be Ready for the Lord’s Coming

“Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning, as though you were waiting for your master to return from the wedding feast. Then you will be ready to open the door and let him in the moment he arrives and knocks.  The servants who are ready and waiting for his return will be rewarded. I tell you the truth, he himself will seat them, put on an apron, and serve them as they sit and eat! He may come in the middle of the night or just before dawn. But whenever he comes, he will reward the servants who are ready.

“Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would not permit his house to be broken into.  You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.”

Peter asked, “Lord, is that illustration just for us or for everyone?”

And the Lord replied, “A faithful, sensible servant is one to whom the master can give the responsibility of managing his other household servants and feeding them.  If the master returns and finds that the servant has done a good job, there will be a reward.  I tell you the truth, the master will put that servant in charge of all he owns.  But what if the servant thinks, ‘My master won’t be back for a while,’ and he begins beating the other servants, partying, and getting drunk? The master will return unannounced and unexpected, and he will cut the servant in pieces and banish him with the unfaithful.

“And a servant who knows what the master wants, but isn’t prepared and doesn’t carry out those instructions, will be severely punished.  But someone who does not know, and then does something wrong, will be punished only lightly. When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required.


Jesus Causes Division

“I have come to set the world on fire, and I wish it were already burning! I have a terrible baptism of suffering ahead of me, and I am under a heavy burden until it is accomplished. Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I have come to divide people against each other! From now on families will be split apart, three in favor of me, and two against—or two in favor and three against.


‘Father will be divided against son

    and son against father;

mother against daughter

    and daughter against mother;

and mother-in-law against daughter-in-law

    and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.’ ”


Then Jesus turned to the crowd and said, “When you see clouds beginning to form in the west, you say, ‘Here comes a shower.’ And you are right.  When the south wind blows, you say, ‘Today will be a scorcher.’ And it is.  You fools! You know how to interpret the weather signs of the earth and sky, but you don’t know how to interpret the present times.

“Why can’t you decide for yourselves what is right?  When you are on the way to court with your accuser, try to settle the matter before you get there. Otherwise, your accuser may drag you before the judge, who will hand you over to an officer, who will throw you into prison.  And if that happens, you won’t be free again until you have paid the very last penny.”

How do I know I am in the right or wrong church!!

Not every church, Pastor will go to heaven!! You must make sure you belong to a church where the Holy Spirit moving. Ask God to help you to show you the right church!! It is very important to belong to the right church. A church where you are comfortable is a big NO!! You have to be challenged in your faith. Your faith must grow. Walk-on-the-water faith church, Holy Spirit-moving is the right church!! Make sure your are Born Again too!! You must  repent and give your life to Jesus and be baptised!! A big NO church is where the Holy Spirit is not moving, too many doctorines, like the normal traditional churches. You must stay far away from them!! Baby christening is not biblical!! They like to preach what people want to hear and not what they must hear.  Focus now on finding the right church. Ask God to show you the right church and to open doors for you to get there!! But it is of life  importance that you must go to the right church!! A religious church is big trouble.  It is not going to help you to get to heaven!! A faith based church where the Holy Spirit is moving, where you grow in your faith, where you are challenged in your faith, where they do baptisms too, and teach the Word of God!!

"Those who live in the shelter of the Most High

will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

This I declare about the Lord:

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;

he is my God, and I trust him.

For he will rescue you from every trap

and protect you from deadly disease.

He will cover you with his feathers.

He will shelter you with his wings.

His faithful promises are your armor and protection.

Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,

nor the arrow that flies in the day.

Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,

nor the disaster that strikes at midday.

Though a thousand fall at your side,

though ten thousand are dying around you,

these evils will not touch you.

Just open your eyes,

and see how the wicked are punished.


 If you make the Lord your refuge,

if you make the Most High your shelter,

no evil will conquer you;

no plague will come near your home.

For he will order his angels

to protect you wherever you go.

They will hold you up with their hands

so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.

You will trample upon lions and cobras;

you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!


 The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.

I will protect those who trust in my name.

When they call on me, I will answer;

I will be with them in trouble.

I will rescue and honor them.

I will reward them with a long life

and give them my salvation."
