Urgent Notice!!

Repent and be baptised. Be Born Again!! Jesus is coming sooner as you think!! Be Ready!! Keep yourself busy with God's work and not yours!!!

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!!

Romans 6: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews:

הפרק 6

אם כן מה נאמר הנעמד בחטא למען ירבה החסד׃

2 חלילה לנו כי מתנו לחטא ואיך נוסיף לחיות בו׃

3 או האינכם ידעים כי כלנו הנטבלים למשיח ישוע למותו נטבלנו׃

4 לכן נקברנו אתו בטבילה למות למען כאשר נעור המשיח מן המתים בכבוד האב כן נתהלך גם אנחנו בחיים מחדשים׃

5 כי אם נדבקנו בדמיון מותו אכן גם נהיה דבוקים לתחיתו׃

6 באשר ידעים אנחנו כי נצלב אתו האדם הישן אשר בנו למען תבטל גוית החטא לבלתי היותנו עוד עבדים לחטא׃

7 כי אשר מת הוא נקה מן החטא׃

8 והנה אם מתנו עם המשיח נאמין כי גם נחיה עמו׃

9 באשר ידענו כי המשיח אחרי אשר נעור מן המתים לא ימות עוד והמות לא ישלט בו עוד׃

10 כי אשר מת מת לחטא פעם אחת ואשר חי חי הוא לאלהים׃

11 וכן גם אתם חשבו אתכם מתים לחטא וחיים לאלהים במשיח ישוע אדנינו׃

12 אם כן אפוא אל תמלך החטאת בגופכם אשר ימות לנטות אחריה בתאותיו׃

13 ]31-21[ גם אל תכינו את אבריכם להיות כלי עול לחטא אך תכינו את נפשכם לאלהים כחיים מעם המתים ואבריכם כלי צדקה לאלהים כי החטא לא יוכל למשל עוד בכם יען אינכם תחת יד התורה כי אם תחת יד החסד׃

14 ]31-21[׃

15 ועתה מה הנחטא יען איננו תחת יד התורה כי אם תחת יד החסד חלילה׃

16 הלא ידעתם כי לאשר תתנו את נפשכם להיות עבדיו לסור למשמעתו הן עבדים אתם לאשר תשמעו לו אם לחטא אלי מות אם למשמעת אלי צדקה׃

17 אבל תודת לאלהים כי הייתם עבדי החטא ואחר שמעתם בכל לבבכם אל תכונת הלקח אשר נמסרתם לו׃

18 שחררתם מידי החטא לכן השתעבדתם לצדקה׃

19 כדרך בני אדם אני מדבר מפני רפיון בשרכם כי כאשר לפנים הכינותם את אבריכם לעבודת החטאה והרשע להרשיע כן עתה הכינו את אבריכם לעבודת הצדקה להתקדש׃

20 כי בעת היותכם עבדי החטא חפשים הייתם מן הצדקה׃

21 ומה אפוא הפרי שהיה לכם אז מן המעשים אשר עתה תבשו מהם כי אחריתם המות׃

22 אכן עתה בהיותכם משחררים מידי החטא ומשעבדים לאלהים יש לכם פריכם לקדשה ואחריתו חיי עולם׃

23 כי שכר החטא הוא המות ומתנת חסד אלהים היא חיי העולם במשיח ישוע אדנינו׃

English:

"Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ

What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

Slaves to Righteousness

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means! Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness. When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Deuteronomy 8: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews:

הפרק 8

כל המצוה אשר אנכי מצוך היום תשמרון לעשות למען תחיון ורביתם ובאתם וירשתם את הארץ אשר נשבע יהוה לאבתיכם׃

2 וזכרת את כל הדרך אשר הליכך יהוה אלהיך זה ארבעים שנה במדבר למען ענתך לנסתך לדעת את אשר בלבבך התשמר מצותו אם לא׃

3 ויענך וירעבך ויאכלך את המן אשר לא ידעת ולא ידעון אבתיך למען הודעך כי לא על הלחם לבדו יחיה האדם כי על כל מוצא פי יהוה יחיה האדם׃

4 שמלתך לא בלתה מעליך ורגלך לא בצקה זה ארבעים שנה׃

5 וידעת עם לבבך כי כאשר ייסר איש את בנו יהוה אלהיך מיסרך׃

6 ושמרת את מצות יהוה אלהיך ללכת בדרכיו וליראה אתו׃

7 כי יהוה אלהיך מביאך אל ארץ טובה ארץ נחלי מים עינת ותהמת יצאים בבקעה ובהר׃

8 ארץ חטה ושערה וגפן ותאנה ורמון ארץ זית שמן ודבש׃

9 ארץ אשר לא במסכנת תאכל בה לחם לא תחסר כל בה ארץ אשר אבניה ברזל ומהרריה תחצב נחשת׃

10 ואכלת ושבעת וברכת את יהוה אלהיך על הארץ הטבה אשר נתן לך׃

11 השמר לך פן תשכח את יהוה אלהיך לבלתי שמר מצותיו ומשפטיו וחקתיו אשר אנכי מצוך היום׃

12 פן תאכל ושבעת ובתים טובים תבנה וישבת׃

13 ובקרך וצאנך ירבין וכסף וזהב ירבה לך וכל אשר לך ירבה׃

14 ורם לבבך ושכחת את יהוה אלהיך המוציאך מארץ מצרים מבית עבדים׃

15 המוליכך במדבר הגדל והנורא נחש שרף ועקרב וצמאון אשר אין מים המוציא לך מים מצור החלמיש׃

16 המאכלך מן במדבר אשר לא ידעון אבתיך למען ענתך ולמען נסתך להיטבך באחריתך׃

17 ואמרת בלבבך כחי ועצם ידי עשה לי את החיל הזה׃

18 וזכרת את יהוה אלהיך כי הוא הנתן לך כח לעשות חיל למען הקים את בריתו אשר נשבע לאבתיך כיום הזה׃

19 והיה אם שכח תשכח את יהוה אלהיך והלכת אחרי אלהים אחרים ועבדתם והשתחוית להם העדתי בכם היום כי אבד תאבדון׃

20 כגוים אשר יהוה מאביד מפניכם כן תאבדון עקב לא תשמעון בקול יהוה אלהיכם׃

English:

"Remember the Lord Your God

“Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers. And you shall remember that the Lord your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord. Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the Lord your God chastens you.

“Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him. For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you.

“Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today, lest—when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them; and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; when your heart is lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, in which were fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty land where there was no water; who brought water for you out of the flinty rock; who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, to do you good in the end—then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’

“And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the Lord your God, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. As the nations which the Lord destroys before you, so you shall perish, because you would not be obedient to the voice of the Lord your God."

Psalm 91:

"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."

"Greetings from James

This letter is from James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I am writing to the “twelve tribes”—Jewish believers scattered abroad.

Greetings!

Faith and Endurance

Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.

Believers who are poor have something to boast about, for God has honored them. And those who are rich should boast that God has humbled them. They will fade away like a little flower in the field. The hot sun rises and the grass withers; the little flower droops and falls, and its beauty fades away. In the same way, the rich will fade away with all of their achievements.

God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else. Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.

So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters. Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.

Listening and Doing

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires. So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.

But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.

If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you."

Luke 9: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews:

הפרק 9

ויקרא אל שנים העשר ויתן להם גבורה ושלטן על כל השדים ולרפא חליים׃

2 וישלחם לקרא את מלכות האלהים ולרפא את החלים׃

3 ויאמר להם אל תקחו מאומה לדרך לא מטות ולא תרמיל ולא לחם ולא כסף ואל יהיה לאיש מכם שתי כתנות׃

4 והבית אשר תבאו בו שם שבו לכם ומשם צאו׃

5 וכל אשר לא יקבלו אתכם צאו מן העיר ההיא ונערו את העפר מעל רגליכם לעדות בהם׃

6 ויצאו ויעברו בכפרים מבשרים את הבשורה ומרפאים בכל מקום׃

7 וישמע הורדוס שר הרבע את כל אשר נעשה על ידו ותפעם רוחו כי יש אשר אמרו יוחנן קם מן המתים׃

8 ויש שאמרו אליהו נראה ואחרים אמרו נביא קם מן הקדמונים׃

9 ויאמר הורדוס הן אנכי נשאתי את ראש יוחנן מעליו ומי אפוא הוא אשר אני שמע עליו כזאת ויבקש לראותו׃

10 וישובו השליחים ויספרו לו את כל אשר עשו ויקחם אליו ויסר לבדד אל מקום חרב אשר לעיר הנקראה בית צידה׃

11 והמון העם כאשר ידעו את זאת הלכו אחריו ויקבלם וידבר אליהם על מלכות האלהים וירפא את הצריכים לרפואה׃

12 והיום רפה לערב ושנים העשר קרבו ויאמרו אליו שלח נא את העם וילכו אל הכפרים והחצרים אשר סביבותינו ללון שם ולמצא מזון כי פה אנחנו במקום חרבה׃

13 ויאמר אליהם תנו אתם להם לאכל ויאמרו אין לנו כי אם חמשת ככרות לחם ודגים שנים בלתי אם נלך ונקנה אכל לכל העם הזה׃

14 כי היו כחמשת אלפי איש ויאמר אל תלמידיו הושיבו אתם שורות שורות חמשים בשורה׃

15 ויעשו כן ויושיבו את כלם׃

16 ויקח את חמשת ככרות הלחם ואת שני הדגים וישא עיניו השמימה ויברך עליהם ויפרס ויתן לתלמידיו לשום לפני העם׃

17 ויאכלו כלם וישבעו וישאו מן הפתותים הנותרים להם שנים עשר סלים׃

18 ויהי הוא מתפלל לבדד ויאספו אליו תלמידיו וישאל אתם לאמר מה אמרים עלי המון העם מי אני׃

19 ויענו ויאמרו יוחנן המטביל ואחרים אמרים אליהו ואחרים אמרים נביא קם מן הקדמונים׃

20 ויאמר אליהם ואתם מה אתם אמרים מי אני ויען פטרוס ויאמר משיח האלהים אתה׃

21 ויצו אתם בגערה לבלתי הגיד לאיש את הדבר הזה׃

22 ויאמר מן הצרך הוא אשר בן האדם יענה הרבה וימאס מן הזקנים והכהנים הגדולים והסופרים ויהרג וביום השלישי קום יקום׃

23 ואל כלם אמר איש כי יחפץ ללכת אחרי יכחש בנפשו ויום יום ישא את צלבו והלך אחרי׃

24 כי כל אשר יחפץ להושיע את נפשו תאבד נפשו ממנו וכל אשר יאבד את נפשו למעני הוא יושיענה׃

25 כי מה יועיל האדם כי יקנה את כל העולם ואבד והשחית את נפשו׃

26 כי כל אשר הייתי אני ודברי לו לחרפה הוא יהיה לחרפה לבן האדם כאשר יבא בכבודו ובכבוד האב והמלאכים הקדושים׃

27 ובאמת אני אמר לכם יש מן העמדים פה אשר לא יטעמו מות עד כי יראו את מלכות האלהים׃

28 ויהי כשמנה ימים אחרי הדברים האלה ויקח אליו את פטרוס ואת יוחנן ואת יעקב ויעל אל ההר להתפלל שם׃

29 ויהי בהתפללו נשתנה מראה פניו ולבושו הלבין והבריק׃

30 והנה שני אנשים מדברים אתו והמה משה ואליהו׃

31 אשר נראו בכבוד והגידו את אחריתו אשר ימלאנה בירושלים׃

32 ויהיו פטרוס ואשר אתו נרדמים ובהקיצם ראו את כבודו ואת שני האנשים העמדים עליו׃

33 ויהי בהפרדם ממנו ויאמר פטרוס אל ישוע מורה טוב היותנו פה נעשה נא שלש סכות לך אחת ולמשה אחת ולאליהו אחת ולא ידע מה דבר׃

34 הוא מדבר כזאת והנה ענן סכך עליהם וכבואם בענן נבעתו׃

35 ויצא קול מן הענן אמר זה בני ידידי אליו תשמעון׃

36 ובהיות הקול נשאר ישוע לבדו והמה החשו ולא הגידו דבר לאיש בימים ההם מכל אשר ראו׃

37 ויהי ממחרת ברדתם מן ההר ויצא עם רב לקראתו׃

38 והנה איש אחד מן העם צעק לאמר אנא רבי פנה נא אל בני כי יחיד הוא לי׃

39 והנה רוח אחז בו ופתאם הוא מצעק והרוח מרוצץ אתו בהוריד רירו ומקשה לסור ממנו ובסורו ידכא אתו׃

40 ואבקש מתלמידיך לגרשו ולא יכלו׃

41 ויען ישוע ויאמר הוי דור חסר אמונה ופתלתל עד מתי אהיה עמכם ואסבל אתכם הבא הנה את בנך׃

42 ויהי אך הקריב לבוא וירעצהו השד וירוצצהו וישוע גער ברוח הטמא וירפא את הנער וישיבהו לאביו׃

43 וישתוממו כלם על גדלת האלהים ויהי בתמהם כלם על כל אשר עשה ויאמר ישוע אל תלמידיו׃

44 שימו אתם באזניכם את הדברים האלה כי עתיד בן האדם להמסר בידי בני האדם׃

45 והמה לא הבינו את המאמר הזה ונעלם הוא מדעתם וייראו לשאל אתו על המאמר הזה׃

46 ויעל על לבבם לחשוב מי הוא הגדול בהם׃

47 וירא ישוע את מחשבת לבם ויקח ילד ויעמידהו אצלו׃

48 ויאמר אליהם כל אשר יקבל את הילד הזה לשמי אותי הוא מקבל וכל אשר יקבל אותי הוא מקבל את אשר שלחני כי הקטן בכלכם הוא יהיה הגדול׃

49 ויען יוחנן ויאמר מורה ראינו איש מגרש שדים בשמך ונכלא אותו יען איננו הולך עמנו׃

50 ויאמר ישוע אליו אל תכלאו כי כל אשר איננו נגדנו בעדנו הוא׃

51 ויהי כמלאת ימי העלותו והוא שם את פניו ללכת ירושלים׃

52 וישלח מלאכים לפניו וילכו ויבאו אל אחד מכפרי השמרונים להכין לו׃

53 ולא קבלהו על אשר היו פניו הלכים ירושלים׃

54 ויאמרו יעקב ויוחנן תלמידיו כראותם זאת לאמר אדנינו התרצה ונאמר כי תרד אש מן השמים ותאכלם כאשר עשה גם אליהו׃

55 ויפן ויגער בם ויאמר הלא ידעתם בני רוח מי אתם׃

56 כי בן האדם לא בא לאבד נפשות אדם כי אם להושיעם וילכו להם אל כפר אחר׃

57 ויהי בלכתם בדרך ויאמר אליו איש אדני אלכה אחריך אל כל אשר תלך׃

58 ויאמר אליו ישוע לשועלים יש חורי עפר ולעוף השמים קנים ובן האדם אין לו מקום להניח שם את ראשו׃

59 ואל איש אחר אמר לך אחרי והוא אמר אדני תן לי ואלכה בראשונה לקבר את אבי׃

60 ויאמר אליו ישוע הנח למתים לקבר את מתיהם ואתה לך הודע את מלכות האלהים׃

61 ויאמר עוד איש אחר אלכה אחריך אדני אך הניחה לי בראשונה להפטר מבני ביתי׃

62 ויאמר ישוע כל השם את ידו על המחרשה ומביט אחריו לא יכשר למלכות

English:

"Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Disciples

One day Jesus called together his twelve disciples and gave them power and authority to cast out all demons and to heal all diseases. Then he sent them out to tell everyone about the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. “Take nothing for your journey,” he instructed them. “Don’t take a walking stick, a traveler’s bag, food, money, or even a change of clothes. Wherever you go, stay in the same house until you leave town. And if a town refuses to welcome you, shake its dust from your feet as you leave to show that you have abandoned those people to their fate.”

So they began their circuit of the villages, preaching the Good News and healing the sick.

Herod’s Confusion

When Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee, heard about everything Jesus was doing, he was puzzled. Some were saying that John the Baptist had been raised from the dead. Others thought Jesus was Elijah or one of the other prophets risen from the dead.

“I beheaded John,” Herod said, “so who is this man about whom I hear such stories?” And he kept trying to see him.

Jesus Feeds Five Thousand

When the apostles returned, they told Jesus everything they had done. Then he slipped quietly away with them toward the town of Bethsaida. But the crowds found out where he was going, and they followed him. He welcomed them and taught them about the Kingdom of God, and he healed those who were sick.

Late in the afternoon the twelve disciples came to him and said, “Send the crowds away to the nearby villages and farms, so they can find food and lodging for the night. There is nothing to eat here in this remote place.”

But Jesus said, “You feed them.”

“But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. “Or are you expecting us to go and buy enough food for this whole crowd?” For there were about 5,000 men there.

Jesus replied, “Tell them to sit down in groups of about fifty each.” So the people all sat down. Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread and fish to the disciples so they could distribute it to the people. They all ate as much as they wanted, and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftovers!

Peter’s Declaration about Jesus

One day Jesus left the crowds to pray alone. Only his disciples were with him, and he asked them, “Who do people say I am?”

“Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say you are one of the other ancient prophets risen from the dead.”

Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?”

Peter replied, “You are the Messiah sent from God!”

Jesus Predicts His Death

Jesus warned his disciples not to tell anyone who he was. “The Son of Man must suffer many terrible things,” he said. “He will be rejected by the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He will be killed, but on the third day he will be raised from the dead.”

Then he said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but are yourself lost or destroyed? If anyone is ashamed of me and my message, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in his glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels. I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Kingdom of God.”

The Transfiguration

About eight days later Jesus took Peter, John, and James up on a mountain to pray. And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was transformed, and his clothes became dazzling white. Suddenly, two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared and began talking with Jesus. They were glorious to see. And they were speaking about his exodus from this world, which was about to be fulfilled in Jerusalem.

Peter and the others had fallen asleep. When they woke up, they saw Jesus’ glory and the two men standing with him. As Moses and Elijah were starting to leave, Peter, not even knowing what he was saying, blurted out, “Master, it’s wonderful for us to be here! Let’s make three shelters as memorials—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” But even as he was saying this, a cloud overshadowed them, and terror gripped them as the cloud covered them.

Then a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, my Chosen One. Listen to him.” When the voice finished, Jesus was there alone. They didn’t tell anyone at that time what they had seen.

Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy

The next day, after they had come down the mountain, a large crowd met Jesus. A man in the crowd called out to him, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, my only child. An evil spirit keeps seizing him, making him scream. It throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It batters him and hardly ever leaves him alone. I begged your disciples to cast out the spirit, but they couldn’t do it.”

Jesus said, “You faithless and corrupt people! How long must I be with you and put up with you?” Then he said to the man, “Bring your son here.”

As the boy came forward, the demon knocked him to the ground and threw him into a violent convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and healed the boy. Then he gave him back to his father. Awe gripped the people as they saw this majestic display of God’s power.

Jesus Again Predicts His Death

While everyone was marveling at everything he was doing, Jesus said to his disciples, “Listen to me and remember what I say. The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of his enemies.” But they didn’t know what he meant. Its significance was hidden from them, so they couldn’t understand it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

The Greatest in the Kingdom

Then his disciples began arguing about which of them was the greatest. But Jesus knew their thoughts, so he brought a little child to his side. Then he said to them, “Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me also welcomes my Father who sent me. Whoever is the least among you is the greatest.”

Using the Name of Jesus

John said to Jesus, “Master, we saw someone using your name to cast out demons, but we told him to stop because he isn’t in our group.”

But Jesus said, “Don’t stop him! Anyone who is not against you is for you.”

Opposition from Samaritans

As the time drew near for him to ascend to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. He sent messengers ahead to a Samaritan village to prepare for his arrival. But the people of the village did not welcome Jesus because he was on his way to Jerusalem. When James and John saw this, they said to Jesus, “Lord, should we call down fire from heaven to burn them up?” But Jesus turned and rebuked them. So they went on to another village.

The Cost of Following Jesus

As they were walking along, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go.”

But Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head.”

He said to another person, “Come, follow me.”

The man agreed, but he said, “Lord, first let me return home and bury my father.”

But Jesus told him, “Let the spiritually dead bury their own dead! Your duty is to go and preach about the Kingdom of God.”

Another said, “Yes, Lord, I will follow you, but first let me say good-bye to my family.”

But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.”
