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!!

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!!!

Luke 14: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews:

הפרק 14

ויהי בבאו בשבת אל בית אחד מראשי הפרושים לאכל לחם והמה ארבים לו׃

2 והנה איש אחד לפניו אשר גופו צבה ממים׃

3 ויען ישוע ויאמר אל בעלי התורה ואל הפרושים לאמר המתר לרפא בשבת אם לא ויחרישו׃

4 ויאחז בו וירפאהו וישלחהו׃

5 ויען ויאמר אליהם מי מכם אשר חמרו או שורו יפול אל הבאר ולא ימהר להעלותו ביום השבת׃

6 ולא יכלו להשיב על זאת דבר׃

7 וישא משלו אל הקרואים בראותו איך בחרו להם להסב בראש ויאמר אליהם׃

8 כי יקרא אתך איש אל החתנה אל תסב בראש פן יקרא שמה איש נכבד ממך׃

9 ובא הקרא אותך ואותו ואמר אליך פנה מקום לזה ואז תקום בכלמה לקחת את המקום האחרון׃

10 אבל כי תקרא לך והסב במקום האחרון למען יבא הקרא אתך ואמר אליך אהובי עלה למעלה מזה והיה לך כבוד לפני המסבים עמך׃

11 כי כל המרומם את עצמו ישפל והמשפיל את עצמו ירומם׃

12 וגם אל האיש אשר קרא אותו אמר כי תעשה סעודת צהרים או סעודת ערב אל תקרא לאהביך ולאחיך ולקרוביך ולשכניך העשירים פן יקראו לך גם המה והיה לך לשלום׃

13 אבל כי תעשה משתה קרא לעניים ולנשברים ולפסחים ולעורים׃

14 ואשריך באשר אין להם לשלם לך כי ישלם לך בתחית הצדיקים׃

15 וישמע זאת אחד מן המסבים ויאמר אליו אשרי האכל לחם במלכות האלהים׃

16 והוא אמר אליו איש אחד עשה סעודה גדולה ויקרא לרבים׃

17 וישלח את עבדו לעת הסעודה לאמר אל הקרואים באו כי כבר מוכן הכל׃

18 ויחלו כלם פה אחד להתנצל ויאמר אליו הראשון שדה קניתי ועלי לצאת לראתו אבקש ממך נקני׃

19 ואחר אמר חמשת צמדי בקר קניתי ואני הלך לבחן אותם אבקש ממך נקני׃

20 ואחר אמר אשה לקחתי ובעבור זאת לא אוכל לבוא׃

21 ויבא העבד ויגד את הדברים האלה לאדניו ויקצף בעל הבית ויאמר לעבדו מהר צא אל רחבות העיר ואל הוצותיה והבא הנה את העניים ואת הנשברים ואת העורים ואת הפסחים׃

22 ויאמר העבד אדני כאשר צוית כן נעשה ויש עוד מקום׃

23 ויאמר האדון אל העבד צא אל הדרכים ואל הגדרות ופצר בהם לבוא למען ימלא ביתי׃

24 כי אני אמר לכם אין אחד מן האנשים הקרואים ההם אשר יטעם סעודתי׃

25 והמון עם רב הלכים אתו ויפן ויאמר אליהם׃

26 איש כי יבוא אלי ולא ישנא את אביו ואת אמו ואת אשתו ואת בניו ואת אחיו ואת אחיתיו ואף גם את נפשו לא יוכל להיות תלמידי׃

27 ואשר לא ישא את צלבו ובא אחרי לא יוכל להיות תלמידי׃

28 כי מי מכם החפץ לבנות מגדל הלא ישב בראשונה ויחשב את ההוצאות אם השג תשיג ידו להשלימו׃

29 פן ישים את היסוד ולא יוכל לכלותו והיה כל הראים יקומו להלעיג לו לאמר׃

30 כי זה האיש החל לבנות ולא יכל לכלות׃

31 אז מי הוא המלך הקם להתגרות מלחמה במלך אחר ולא ישב בראשונה ויתיעץ אם יוכל בעשרת אלפים לערך לקראת הבא עליו בעשרים אלף׃

32 ואם לא ושלח אליו מלאכים בעודנו רחוק לבקש שלום׃

33 ככה כל איש מכם אשר לא נפטר מכל רכושו לא יוכל להיות תלמידי׃

34 טוב המלח ואם המלח היה תפל במה יתקן׃

35 לא יצלח גם לאדמה גם לדמן החוצה ישליכהו מי אשר אזנים לו לשמע ישמע׃

English:

"Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

One Sabbath day Jesus went to eat dinner in the home of a leader of the Pharisees, and the people were watching him closely. There was a man there whose arms and legs were swollen. Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in religious law, “Is it permitted in the law to heal people on the Sabbath day, or not?” When they refused to answer, Jesus touched the sick man and healed him and sent him away. Then he turned to them and said, “Which of you doesn’t work on the Sabbath? If your son or your cow falls into a pit, don’t you rush to get him out?” Again they could not answer.

Jesus Teaches about Humility

When Jesus noticed that all who had come to the dinner were trying to sit in the seats of honor near the head of the table, he gave them this advice: “When you are invited to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the seat of honor. What if someone who is more distinguished than you has also been invited? The host will come and say, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then you will be embarrassed, and you will have to take whatever seat is left at the foot of the table!

“Instead, take the lowest place at the foot of the table. Then when your host sees you, he will come and say, ‘Friend, we have a better place for you!’ Then you will be honored in front of all the other guests. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

Then he turned to his host. “When you put on a luncheon or a banquet,” he said, “don’t invite your friends, brothers, relatives, and rich neighbors. For they will invite you back, and that will be your only reward. Instead, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. Then at the resurrection of the righteous, God will reward you for inviting those who could not repay you.”

Parable of the Great Feast

Hearing this, a man sitting at the table with Jesus exclaimed, “What a blessing it will be to attend a banquet in the Kingdom of God!”

Jesus replied with this story: “A man prepared a great feast and sent out many invitations. When the banquet was ready, he sent his servant to tell the guests, ‘Come, the banquet is ready.’ But they all began making excuses. One said, ‘I have just bought a field and must inspect it. Please excuse me.’ Another said, ‘I have just bought five pairs of oxen, and I want to try them out. Please excuse me.’ Another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’

“The servant returned and told his master what they had said. His master was furious and said, ‘Go quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and invite the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’ After the servant had done this, he reported, ‘There is still room for more.’ So his master said, ‘Go out into the country lanes and behind the hedges and urge anyone you find to come, so that the house will be full. For none of those I first invited will get even the smallest taste of my banquet.’”

The Cost of Being a Disciple

A large crowd was following Jesus. He turned around and said to them, “If you want to be my disciple, you must, by comparison, hate everyone else—your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple. And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple.

“But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you. They would say, ‘There’s the person who started that building and couldn’t afford to finish it!’

“Or what king would go to war against another king without first sitting down with his counselors to discuss whether his army of 10,000 could defeat the 20,000 soldiers marching against him? And if he can’t, he will send a delegation to discuss terms of peace while the enemy is still far away. So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own.

“Salt is good for seasoning. But if it loses its flavor, how do you make it salty again? Flavorless salt is good neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown away. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!”

Luke 13: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews:

הפרק 13

ויבאו אנשים בעת ההיא ויגידו לו על דבר הגלילים אשר פילטוס ערב דמם עם זבחיהם׃

2 ויען ישוע ויאמר אליהם החשבים אתם כי הגלילים האלה היו חטאים מכל אנשי הגליל על אשר באה כזאת עליהם׃

3 לא כי אמר אני לכם אם לא תשובו תאבדו כלכם גם אתם׃

4 או שמנה העשר ההם אשר נפל עליהם המגדל בשלח וימיתם החשבים אתם כי היו אשמים מכל האנשים הישבים בירושלים׃

5 לא כי אמר אני לכם אם לא תשובו תאבדו כלכם גם אתם׃

6 וישא משלו ויאמר איש אחד היתה לו תאנה נטועה בכרמו ויבא לבקש בה פרי ולא מצא׃

7 ויאמר אל הכרם הנה זה שלש שנים אנכי בא לבקש פרי בתאנה הזאת ואינני מוצא גדע אותה למה זה תשחית את האדמה׃

8 ויען ויאמר אליו אדני הניחה אתה עוד השנה הזאת עד כי אעדר ושמתי דמן סביבותיה׃

9 אולי תעשה פרי ואם לא בשנה הבאה תגדענה׃

10 ויהי הוא מלמד בשבת באחד מבתי הכנסיות׃

11 והנה אשה טעונת רוח חלי כשמנה עשרה שנה ותהי כפופה ולא יכלה לקום קומה זקופה׃

12 ויהי בראות אתה ישוע ויקרא אליה ויאמר לה אשה החלצי מחליך׃

13 וישם את ידיו עליה וכרגע קמה ותתעודד ותשבח את האלהים׃

14 ויכעס ראש הכנסת על אשר רפא ישוע בשבת ויען ויאמר אל העם ששת ימים הם אשר תעשה בהם מלאכה לכן באלה באו והרפאו ולא ביום השבת׃

15 ויען האדון ויאמר אליו החנף איש איש מכם הלא יתיר בשבת את שורו או את חמרו מן האבוס ויוליכהו להשקתו׃

16 וזאת אשר היא בת אברהם ואשר השטן אסרה זה שמנה עשרה שנה הלא תתר ממוסרותיה ביום השבת׃

17 ויהי כאמרו את הדברים האלה נכלמו כל מתקוממיו וישמח כל העם על כל הנפלאות הנעשות על ידו׃

18 ויאמר למה דומה מלכות האלהים ואל מה אמשילנה׃

19 דומה היא לגרגר של חרדל אשר לקחו איש וישימהו בגנו ויצמח ויהי לעץ גדול ועוף השמים יקנן בענפיו׃

20 ויאמר עוד אל מה אדמה את מלכות האלהים׃

21 דומה היא לשאר אשר לקחתו אשה ותטמנהו בשלש סאים קמח עד כי יחמץ כלו׃

22 ויעבר בערים ובכפרים עבור ולמד וישם את דרכו לבוא ירושלים׃

23 וישאלהו איש לאמר אדנינו המעט הם הנושעים׃

24 ויאמר אליהם התאמצו לבוא בפתח הצר כי אמר אני לכם רבים יבקשו לבוא ולא יוכלו׃

25 והיה מיום אשר יקום בעל הבית וסגר את הדלת ותחלו לעמד בחוץ ולדפק על הדלת לאמר אדנינו אדנינו פתח לנו וענה ואמר אליכם אינני יודע אתכם מאין אתם׃

26 אז תחלו לאמר אכלנו ושתינו לפניך וברחבותינו למדת׃

27 ויאמר אני אמר לכם אינני יודע אתכם מאין אתם סורו ממני כל פעלי האון׃

28 ושם תהיה היללה וחרק השנים כאשר תראו את אברהם ויצחק ויעקב ואת כל הנביאים במלכות האלהים ואתם מגרשים החוצה׃

29 ויבאו ממזרח וממערב ומצפון ומדרום ויסבו במלכות האלהים׃

30 והנה יש אחרונים אשר יהיו ראשונים וראשונים אשר יהיו אחרונים׃

31 ביום ההוא נגשו מן הפרושים ויאמרו אליו צא ולך מזה כי הורדוס מבקש להרגך׃

32 ויאמר אליהם לכו ואמרו אל השועל הזה הנני מגרש שדים ופעל רפואות היום ומחר ובשלישי אבא עד קצי׃

33 אבל הלוך אלך היום ומחר וממחרתו כי לא יתכן אשר יאבד נביא מחוץ לירושלים׃

34 ירושלים ירושלים ההרגת את הנביאים והסקלת את הנשלחים אליה כמה פעמים חפצתי לקבץ את בניך כאשר תקבץ התרנגלת את אפרוחיה תחת כנפיה ואתם לא אביתם׃

35 הנה ביתכם יעזב לכם שמם ואני אמר לכם כי ראה לא תראוני עד בוא העת אשר תאמרו ברוך הבא בשם יהוה׃

English:

"A Call to Repentance

About this time Jesus was informed that Pilate had murdered some people from Galilee as they were offering sacrifices at the Temple. “Do you think those Galileans were worse sinners than all the other people from Galilee?” Jesus asked. “Is that why they suffered? Not at all! And you will perish, too, unless you repent of your sins and turn to God. And what about the eighteen people who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them? Were they the worst sinners in Jerusalem? No, and I tell you again that unless you repent, you will perish, too.”

Parable of the Barren Fig Tree

Then Jesus told this story: “A man planted a fig tree in his garden and came again and again to see if there was any fruit on it, but he was always disappointed. Finally, he said to his gardener, ‘I’ve waited three years, and there hasn’t been a single fig! Cut it down. It’s just taking up space in the garden.’

“The gardener answered, ‘Sir, give it one more chance. Leave it another year, and I’ll give it special attention and plenty of fertilizer. If we get figs next year, fine. If not, then you can cut it down.’”

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, he saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. She had been bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Dear woman, you are healed of your sickness!” Then he touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. How she praised God!

But the leader in charge of the synagogue was indignant that Jesus had healed her on the Sabbath day. “There are six days of the week for working,” he said to the crowd. “Come on those days to be healed, not on the Sabbath.”

But the Lord replied, “You hypocrites! Each of you works on the Sabbath day! Don’t you untie your ox or your donkey from its stall on the Sabbath and lead it out for water? This dear woman, a daughter of Abraham, has been held in bondage by Satan for eighteen years. Isn’t it right that she be released, even on the Sabbath?”

This shamed his enemies, but all the people rejoiced at the wonderful things he did.

Parable of the Mustard Seed

Then Jesus said, “What is the Kingdom of God like? How can I illustrate it? It is like a tiny mustard seed that a man planted in a garden; it grows and becomes a tree, and the birds make nests in its branches.”

Parable of the Yeast

He also asked, “What else is the Kingdom of God like? It is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough.”

The Narrow Door

Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he went, always pressing on toward Jerusalem. Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?”

He replied, “Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail. When the master of the house has locked the door, it will be too late. You will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’ Then you will say, ‘But we ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’ And he will reply, ‘I tell you, I don’t know you or where you come from. Get away from me, all you who do evil.’

“There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, for you will see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God, but you will be thrown out. And people will come from all over the world—from east and west, north and south—to take their places in the Kingdom of God. And note this: Some who seem least important now will be the greatest then, and some who are the greatest now will be least important then.”

Jesus Grieves over Jerusalem

At that time some Pharisees said to him, “Get away from here if you want to live! Herod Antipas wants to kill you!”

Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox that I will keep on casting out demons and healing people today and tomorrow; and the third day I will accomplish my purpose. Yes, today, tomorrow, and the next day I must proceed on my way. For it wouldn’t do for a prophet of God to be killed except in Jerusalem!

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God’s messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me. And now, look, your house is abandoned. And you will never see me again until you say, ‘Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

Jesus Christ our Living Hope!!

Jesus Christ is the Word that became human!! He is the Son of God!!

John 1:14: "So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son."

God sent Him to this world. He not only died for our sins, but also so we can have life in abundance, overflow!!

John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

John 10:10: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."

Jesus is our only hope to survive in this world today!! He is the only way to our Heavenly Father!! Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God!! Invite Jesus into your life today!! He will give you peace, and He lay down His life for you!! He has overcome this world!!

John 16:33: "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

Jesus is the Great I AM!!

John 14:6: "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

John 11:25: "Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live."

John 8:12: "Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

John 15:5-8: "Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father."

John 10:11: "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep."

John 6:35: "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."

Give your life to Jesus, today!! Invite Him into your life!! He will give you peace!! And when circumstances are difficult start praising Him!! He will fight your battles for you!!

John 14:7: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

Luke 12:24: "Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!"

Start reading His Word!! Meditate on the Word of God day and night!! Spend time with Jesus and speak to Him!! He will hear you!!

Philippians 4:7: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Isaiah 41:10: "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

When you give your life to Jesus, He will come and live inside you with the Father and the Holy Spirit, and that means:

1 John 4:4-6: "Because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error."

And you are also protected by His blood!! You have the Jesus mark on you....the cross!! And no weapon formed against you shall prosper!!

Isaiah 54:17: "No weapon formed against you shall prosper."

Put your focus on Jesus and not on this world or your circumstances!!

Nehemiah 8:10: "For the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

To be a disciple for Jesus!!

There is a question we want to ask you? What are you willing to give up for Jesus? What are you willing to turn your back on to follow Jesus? When Jesus called his first disciples, Simon, Andrew, James and John, they didnt have any excuses to follow Jesus. When Jesus called them, they left their boats, nets, fishing, income and also the father of the two brothers behind! They dropped everything to follow Jesus! Matthew 19:27: Then Peter said to him, “We’ve given up everything to follow you. What will we get?” And Jesus answered: Matthew 19:29: "And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or property, for my sake, will receive a hundred times as much in return and will inherit eternal life." Look at the promise Jesus gave: "You will receive a hundred times as much in return and will inherit eternal life." It is very important to obey Jesus! So when He calls you to follow Him, what are you going to say to Him? Jesus, here I am, I'm willing to give up everything to follow you, or sorry Jesus, I can't. I am too busy with life, I love my life and I can't follow you. You will be rewarded when you obey His voice to follow Him.

Jesus said his disciples will be persecuted like He was persecuted. To be a disciple for Jesus you can not compromise!! You have to take a stand for Jesus, no matter what other people think. You will be persecuted by friends, family, government and other groups. You have to stand for Jesus no matter the cost. You have to obey Him rather than human authority. To be a disciple for Jesus you will have to go in an opposite direction to the world. People will criticize you, hate you, have nothing to do with you, they will think you are crazy, talk bad about you. But remember, "Greater is He in you than he who is in the world." You have Jesus on your side and if you perservere in persecution God will reward you. Are you willing to stand for Jesus no matter what the cost is? Don"t think you can serve Jesus on your own terms or in a safe way. To be a disciple for Jesus you are going to be in uncomfortoble situations and you will even stand alone. You have to focus on Jesus no matter what. You have to stand firm and strong for Jesus no matter what. But the reward will be greater! We are here on this earth to shine His light on this earth. To fight for Jesus no matter what. Even standing up against our friends, family, government and other groups.

"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."

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.”
