Now the goal of this command is love from a clean heart, from a good conscience and a
sincere belief, which some, having missed the goal, turned aside to senseless
talk, wishing to be teachers of Torah, understanding neither what they say nor concerning what they strongly affirm. through
which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. The sovereigns of the earth take their stand, And the
rulers take counsel together, Against יהוה and against His Messiah, Whom would He teach knowledge?
And whom would He make to understand the message? Those weaned from milk, those taken from the breasts! For it is: command
upon command, command upon command, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little“ And in that day you
shall ask Me none at all. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My Name He shall give you. “Until
now you have asked naught in My Name. Ask, and you shall receive, in order that your joy might be complete These words
I have spoken to you in figures of speech, but an hour is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in figures of speech,
but I shall declare the Father plainly to you. “In that day you shall ask
in My Name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father on your behalf, for
the Father Himself does love you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from Yahweh . “I came
forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.” יהושע said all this to the
crowds in parables, and He did not speak to them without a parable, so that what
was spoken by the prophet might be filled, saying, “I shall open My mouth in parables, I shall pour forth what has been
hidden from the foundation of the world.” I open my mouth in a parable; I utter riddles of old, My
people, give ear to my Torah, Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. That it might be known to a generation to come To
children who would be born, To rise up and relate them to their children, And place their trust in Yahweh , And not
forget the works of Ěl, But watch over His commands, For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and slaughters.
So it was also necessary for this One to have somewhat to offer. For if indeed
He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the Torah, who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly, as Mosheh was warned when he was about to make the Tent. For
He said, “See that you make all according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” For I do not wish you to
be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were immersed into Mosheh in the cloud and in the sea, and
all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For
they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed, and the Rock was Messiah. However,
with most of them Yahweh was not well pleased, for they were laid low in the
wilderness. And these became examples for us, so that we should not lust after
evil, as those indeed lusted. And do not become idolaters as some of them, as
it has been written, “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play.” Neither should we commit whoring, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell, neither let us try Messiah, as some of them also tried, and were destroyed by serpents, neither grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
And all these came upon them as examples, and they were written as a warning to us, on whom the ends of the ages have come, so that he who thinks he stands, let him take heed lest he fall. No trial has overtaken
you except such as is common to man, and Yahweh is trustworthy, who shall not
allow you to be tried beyond what you are able, but with the trial shall also make the way of escape, enabling you to bear
it. Say to me, you who wish to be under Torah, do you not hear the Torah? For
it has been written that Aḇraham had two sons, one by a female servant, the other by a free woman. But he who was
of the female servant was born according to the flesh, and he of the free woman through promise. This is allegorical, for
these are the two covenants: one indeed from Mount Sinai which brings forth slavery, which is Haḡar, for this Haḡar
is Mount Sinai in Araḇia, and corresponds to Yerushalayim
which now is, and is in slavery with her children. But the Yerushalayim above
is free, which is the mother of us all.For it has been written, “Rejoice, O barren, you who do not bear! Break forth
and shout, you who do not have birth pains! For the deserted one has many more children than she who has a husband.” And we, brothers, as Yitsḥaq was, are children of promise. But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him born according
to the Spirit, so also now. But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the female servant and her son, for the son of
the female servant shall by no means be heir with the son of the free woman.”
Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the female servant but of the free woman. For it is better, if it is the
desire of Elohim , to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. Because even Messiah once suffered for sins, the righteous
for the unrighteous, to bring you to Yahweh
having been put to death indeed in flesh but made alive in the Spirit, So then, as through one trespass there resulted
condemnation to all men, so also through one righteous act there resulted righteous-declaring of life to all men. in which also He went and proclaimed unto the spirits in prison,
who were disobedient at one time when the patience of Elohim waited in the days of Noaḥ, while the ark was being
prepared, in which a few, that is, eight beings, were saved through water, which
figure now also saves us: immersion – not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience
toward Elohim – through the resurrection of יהושע Messiah, who,
having gone into heaven, is at the right hand of Elohim, messengers and authorities
and powers having been subjected to Him. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and
the Word was Elohim. He was in the beginning with Elohim. All came to be through
Him, and without Him not even one came to be that came to be. and to make all
see how this secret is administered, which for ages past has been hidden in Elohim
who created all through יהושע Messiah Because in Him were created all that
are in the heavens and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or rulerships or principalities or authorities
– all have been created through Him and for Him. has in these last days spoken to us by the Son, whom He has appointed
heir of all, through whom also He made the ages By belief, we understand that the ages were prepared by the word of Elohim,
so that what is seen was not made of what is visible. For they choose to have this hidden from them: that the heavens were
of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by the Word of Elohim,
By the Word of יהוה the heavens were made, And all their host by the Spirit of His mouth,In Him
was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent from Elohim, whose name was Yoḥanan. This one came for
a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all might believe through him. He
was not that Light, but that he might bear witness of that Light. He was the true Light, which enlightens every man, coming
into the world. He was in the world, and the world came to be through Him, and
the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the authority to become children of Elohim,
to those believing in His Name, who were born, not of blood nor of the desire
of flesh nor of the desire of man, but of Elohim. And the Word became flesh and
pitched His tent among us, and we saw His esteem, esteem as of an only brought-forth of a father, complete in favour and truth.
No one has ever seen Elohim. The only brought-forth Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He did declare. “And the
Father who sent Me, He bore witness of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form“ except He
who is from Elohim – He has seen the Father. This is the Mosheh who said to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘יהוה your Elohim shall
raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brothers. Him you shall hear.’ “This is he who was in the assembly
in the wilderness with the Messenger who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received the living Words to give to us, And when the blast of the
ram’s horn sounded long and became louder and louder, Mosheh spoke, and Elohim answered him by voice. And יהוה came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And יהוה called Mosheh to the top of the mountain, and Mosheh went up. And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Go
down, and warn the people, lest they break through unto יהוה to see, and many of
them fall. “And let the priests who come near יהוה set themselves apart
too, lest יהוה break out against them.” And Mosheh said to יהוה, “The people
are not able to come up to Mount Sinai,
for You warned us, saying, ‘Make a border around the mountain and set it apart.’ ”And Mosheh
said to יהוה, “See, You are saying to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not made known to me whom
You would send with me, though You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found favour in My eyes.’
“And now, please, if I have found favour in Your eyes, please show me Your way, and let me know You, so that I find
favour in Your eyes. And consider that this nation is Your people.” And He said, “My Presence does go, and I shall
give you rest.” And he said to Him, “If Your Presence is not going,
do not lead us up from here. “For how then shall it be known that I have found favour in Your eyes, I and Your people,
except You go with us? Then we shall be distinguished, I and Your people, from all the people who are upon the face of the
earth.” And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Even this word you have spoken I shall do, for you have
found favour in My eyes, and I know you by name.” Then he said, “Please,
show me Your esteem.” And He said, “I shall cause all My goodness
to pass before you, and I shall proclaim the Name of יהוה before you. And I shall favour him whom I favour,
and shall have compassion on him whom I have compassion.” But He said,
“You are unable to see My face, for no man does see Me and live.” And
יהוה said, “See, there is a place with Me! And you shall stand on the rock. “And it shall be, while My esteem passes by, that I shall put you in the cleft
of the rock and cover you with My hand while I pass by. “Then I shall take
away My hand and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen.” “See, I am sending a Messenger
before you to guard you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. “Be on guard before Him and
obey His voice. Do not rebel against Him, for He is not going to pardon your transgression, for My Name is in Him. And it
came to be on the next day that Mosheh said to the people, “You, you have sinned a great sin. And now I am going up
to יהוה – if I might atone for your sin.” And Mosheh returned to יהוה and said, “Oh,
these people have sinned a great sin, and have made for themselves a mighty one of gold!
“And now, if You would forgive their sin, but if not, please blot me out of Your book which You have written.” And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Whoever has sinned against
Me, I blot him out of My book. And now, go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. See, My Messenger
goes before you. And in the day of My visitation I shall visit their sin upon them.”
And the priest shall make atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them. ‘When a ruler sins, and by mistake
has done against any of the commands of יהוה his Elohim which are not to be done, and shall be guilty, or if his sin which he has sinned is made known to him,. And the priest shall make
atonement for him for his sin, and it shall be forgiven him. ‘And if any
being of the people of the land sins by mistake by doing against any of the commands of יהוה which are not to be
done, and shall be guilty, or if his sin which he has sinned shall be made known to him. And the priest shall make atonement
for him, and it shall be forgiven him. “Please forgive the crookedness of this people, according to
the greatness of Your kindness, as You have forgiven this people, from Mitsrayim even until now.” And יהוה said, “I shall
forgive, according to your word, And see, they were bringing to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. And יהושע, seeing their belief,
said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son, your sins have been forgiven.”
And see, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This One blasphemes!”And יהושע, knowing their thoughts,
said, “Why do you think wicked thoughts in your hearts? “For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins
have been forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’? “But
in order for you to know that the Son of Aḏam possesses authority
on earth to forgive sins...” He then said to the paralytic, Son, your sins are forgiven you.” “Rise, take
up your bed, and go to your house.” And he rose and went to his house. And
when the crowds saw it, they marvelled and praised Elohim who had given such authority to men. Now some of the scribes were
sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why does this One talk like this? He is blaspheming! Who is able to forgive
sins but Elohim alone?” And immediately יהושע, knowing in His spirit that they were reasoning
that way within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason about all this in your hearts?“the Son of Aḏam possesses authority on earth to forgive sins as “My trustworthiness And My
kindness are with him, And in My Name his horn is exalted. Who has gone up to the heavens and come down? Who has gathered
the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who established all the ends of the earth? What is His Name,
And what is His Son’s Name, If you know it? “And she shall give birth to a Son, and you shall call His Name יהושע for He shall save
His people from their sins. “ and they shall call His Name Immanu’ĕl,” which translated,
means, “Ěl with us “I have esteemed You on the earth, having accomplished the work You have given Me that
I should do. “And now, esteem Me with Yourself, Father, with the esteem which I had with You before the world was. “I have revealed Your Name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world. They
were Yours, and You gave them to Me, and they have guarded Your Word. .”“I have come in My Father’s Name
and you do not receive Me, if another comes in his own name, him you would receive For both He who sets apart and those who
are being set apart are all of One, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brothers, Elohim, therefore, has highly
exalted Him and given Him the Name which is above every name, that at the Name
of יהושע every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under
the earth, and every tongue should confess that יהושע Messiah is Master,
to the esteem of Elohim the Father. “I have sworn by Myself, a word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and
shall not return, so that to Me every knee shall bow, every tongue swear. “One shall say, ‘Only in יהוה do I have righteousness
and strength’ – he comes to Him. And all those displeased with Him shall be put to shame. For this
reason I too, having heard of your belief in the Master יהושע and your love for all the set-apart ones, do not
cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers, that the Elohim
of our Master יהושע Messiah, the Father of esteem, would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation
in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, so
that you know what is the expectation of His calling, and what are the riches of the esteem of His inheritance in the set-apart
ones, and
what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who are believing, according to the working of His mighty strength, which He wrought in the Messiah when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him
at His right hand in the heavenlies, far above all rule and authority and power
and mastery, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all under His
feet, and gave Him to be head over all, to the assembly, which is His body, the
completeness of Him who fills all in all. having become so much better than the messengers, as He has inherited
a more excellent Name than them. “He who overcomes, I shall make him a supporting post in the Dwelling Place of My Elohim,
and he shall by no means go out. And I shall write on him the Name of My Elohim and the name of the city of My
Elohim, the renewed Yerushalayim, which comes down out of the heaven from My Elohim, and My
renewed Name. Each morning I uproot all the wrong of the land, To cut off all the workers of wickedness From the city of יהוה. “And
the sons of those who afflicted you come bowing to you, and all those who despised you shall bow themselves at the soles of
your feet. And they shall call you: City of יהוה, Tsiyon of the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl. And
I looked and saw a Lamb standing on Mount Tsiyon, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s
Name written upon their foreheads For this reason I bow my knees to the Father
of our Master יהושע Messiah, from whom all fatherhood in the heavens and earth is named, And this
is His command, that we should believe in the Name of His Son יהושע Messiah and love one another, as He gave us command.
I have written this to you who believe in the Name of the Son of Elohim, so that you know that you possess everlasting
life, and so that you believe in the Name of the Son of Elohim. “He who believes in Him is not judged, but he who does
not believe is judged already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only brought-forth Son of Elohim many believed
in His Name when they saw the signs which He was doing. Who among you is fearing יהוה, obeying the voice of His Servant, that has walked
in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the Name of יהוה and lean upon his
Elohim! I am יהוה, that is My Name, and My esteem I do not give to another, nor My praise to idols. “Therefore
see, I am causing them to know, this time I cause them to know My hand and My might. And they shall know that My Name is יהוה!” And
do not be drunk with wine, in which is loose behaviour, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to each other in psalms and
songs of praise and spiritual songs, singing and striking the strings in your heart to the Master, giving thanks always for all to Elohim the Father, in the Name of our Master יהושע Messiah, subjecting yourselves to each other in the fear1 of Elohim. And Dawiḏ blessed
יהוה before all the assembly. And Dawiḏ said,
“Blessed are You, יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, our Father, forever and ever.
“Yours, O יהוה, is the greatness, the power and the comeliness, the pre-eminence and the excellency,
because of all that is in the heavens and in the earth. Yours is the reign, O יהוה, and You are exalted
as head above all. “And the riches and the esteem come from Your presence, and You rule over all. And in Your hand is
power and might, and in Your hand to make great and to give strength to all. “And
now, our Elohim, we thank You and praise Your comely Name. “But who am
I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give so voluntarily as this? For all comes from You, and we have given
to You out of Your hand. “For we are sojourners and pilgrims before You,
as were all our fathers; our days on earth are as a shadow, and without permanence.
“O יהוה our Elohim, all this store that we have prepared to build You a house for Your
set-apart Name is from Your hand, and all is of You. “And I know, my Elohim,
that You are trying the heart and desire uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have voluntarily given all
these. And now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here to give voluntarily to You. “O יהוה Elohim of Aḇraham, Yitsḥaq, and Yisra’ĕl, our fathers, guard this forever
in the intent of the thoughts of the heart of Your people, and prepare their heart toward You. “And give my son a perfect heart to guard Your commands and Your witnesses and Your laws, to do all,
and to build the palace for which I have prepared.” And Dawiḏ said to all the assembly, “Now bless יהוה your Elohim.” And all the assembly blessed
יהוה Elohim of their fathers, and bowed their heads and did obeisance to יהוה and the sovereign. And they made offerings to יהוה with great joy on that day. And they set up Shelomoh son of Dawiḏ to reign the second time, and anointed him before יהוה to be leader, and
Tsaḏoq to be priest. Sing praise to יהוה, You kind ones of
His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His Set-apartness. Rejoice in יהוה, you righteous, And give thanks at the remembrance
of His Set-apartness. We shall give thanks to You, O Elohim, we shall give thanks! And Your Name is near!
Your wonders shall be declared! יהוה is great in Tsiyon, And He is high above all the peoples.They praise Your Name, great and awesome, It is set-apart.
Save us, O יהוה our Elohim, And gather us from among the gentiles, To give thanks to Your set-apart Name, To exult in Your
praise. I give You thanks with all my heart; Before the mighty ones I sing praises to You. I bow myself toward Your set-apart
Hĕḵal, And give thanks to Your Name For Your kindness and for Your truth; For You have made great
Your Word, Your Name, above all. On the day I called You did answer me, You made me bold with strength in my being.Let all
the sovereigns of the earth Give thanks to You, O יהוה, When they shall hear the words of Your mouth.
Only, let the righteous give thanks to Your Name, Let the straight ones dwell in Your presence. To this end we always pray
for you that our Elohim would count you worthy of this calling, and complete all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work
of belief with power, so that the Name of our Master יהושע Messiah is esteemed in you, and you in Him, according to
the favour of our Elohim and the Master יהושע Messiah. Help us, O Elohim of our
deliverance, For the sake of the esteem of Your Name. And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Your Name’s sake!
Let all nations You have made Come and bow themselves before You, O יהוה, And give esteem to Your Name. Ascribe
to יהוה, O clans of the peoples, Ascribe to יהוה esteem and strength. Ascribe to יהוה the esteem of His Name; Bring an offering, and come into His courts. Bow yourselves to יהוה, In the splendour of set-apartness! Tremble before Him, all the earth.Say among nations, “יהוה shall reign. The world also is established, immovable. He judges the peoples in straightness.” Let the
heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; Let the field exult, and all that is
in it. Let all the trees of the forest then shout for joy,At the presence of יהוה. For He shall come,
For He shall come to judge the earth. He judges the world in righteousness, And the peoples with His truth Not to
us, O יהוה, not to us, But to Your Name give esteem, For Your kindness, For Your truth. Father, esteem Your Name.”
Then a voice came from the heaven, “I have both esteemed it and shall esteem it again. And whatever you ask in My Name,
that I shall do, in order that the Father might be esteemed in the Son. יהושע answered them, “I have told you, and you
do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s Name, they bear witness concerning Me. If anyone wishes to be first,
he shall be last of all and servant of all.” And He took a little child and set him in their midst, and taking him in
His arms, He said to them, “Whoever receives one of such little children
in My Name receives Me. And whoever receives Me, receives not Me, but the One who sent Me.” “Teacher, we saw someone, who does not follow us, casting out demons in Your Name, and we forbade
him because he does not follow us.” And יהושע said, “Do not
forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My Name is able to readily speak evil of Me. “For he who is not against
us is for us. “For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My Name,
because you are of Messiah, truly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward. But certain exorcists took
it upon themselves to call the Name of the Master יהושע over those who had wicked spirits, saying, “We exorcise
you by יהושע whom Sha’ul proclaims.” And there were seven sons of a certain
Skeua, a Yehuḏite chief priest, who were doing this. And the wicked spirit answering, said, “יהושע I know, and Sha’ul
I know, but who are you?” And the man in whom the wicked spirit was leaped
on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Then those who had been scattered went everywhere bringing the Good News: the Word!
And going down to the city of Shomeron
Philip proclaimed Messiah to them. And the crowds
with one mind heeded what Philip said, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits came out of many
who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who were paralysed and lame were healed. And there came to be great
joy in that city. Now there was a certain man called Shimʽon, who formerly was practising magic in the city and astonishing
the people of Shomeron, claiming to be someone great, to whom they all were giving heed, from the least to the greatest, saying,
“This one is the power of Elohim, which is great.” And they were
giving heed to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his magic. And when they believed Philip as he brought
the Good News about the reign of Elohim and the Name of יהושע Messiah, both men and women were immersed. And
Shimʽon himself also believed. And when he was immersed he continued
with Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which took place. And when the emissaries who were
at Yerushalayim heard that Shomeron had received the Word of Elohim, they sent Kĕpha and Yoḥanan to them, who, when
they had come down, prayed for them to receive the Set-apart Spirit, for He had
not yet fallen on any of them, but they had only been immersed in the Name of the Master יהושע. Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Set-apart Spirit. “But the Helper, the
Set-apart Spirit, whom the Father shall send in My Name, He shall teach you all, and remind you of all that I said to you.
While Kĕpha was still speaking these words, the Set-apart Spirit fell upon all those hearing the word. And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Kĕpha, because the
gift of the Set-apart Spirit had been poured out on the gentiles also, for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and
extolling Elohim. Then Kĕpha answered, “Is anyone able to forbid water, that these should not be immersed who have
received the Set-apart Spirit – even as also we?” And he commanded them to be immersed in the Name of יהושע Messiah. Then they
asked him to remain a few days. And it came to be, while Apollos was at Corinth,
that Sha’ul, having passed through the upper parts, came to Ephesos. And having found some taught ones, he said to them, “Did you receive the Set-apart Spirit when you believed?” And they said to
him, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Set-apart Spirit.” And he said to them, “Into what then
were you immersed?” And they said, “Into Yoḥanan’s immersion.” And Sha’ul said, “Yoḥanan
indeed immersed with an immersion of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the One who is coming after
him, that is, in Messiah יהושע.” And when they heard this, they were immersed in the Name of the Master
יהושע. And when Sha’ul had laid hands on them, the Set-apart Spirit came upon
them, and they were speaking in tongues and prophesying. “Therefore, go and make taught ones of all the nations,
immersing them in the Name of the Father and teaching them to guard all
that I have commanded you. And see, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” Amĕn. And I appeal to you,
brothers, by the Name of our Master יהושע Messiah, that you all agree, and that there be no divisions
among you, but that you be knit together in the same mind and in the same opinion. For
I have been informed concerning you, my brothers, by those of the house of Chloe, that there are strifes among you.
What I mean is this, that each one of you says, “I am of Sha’ul,” or “I am of Apollos,” or “I
am of Kĕpha,” or “I am of Messiah.” Has the Messiah been
divided? Was Sha’ul impaled for you? Or were you immersed in the name of Sha’ul? I thank Elohim that I immersed
not one of you except Crispus and Gaios, that no one should say that I immersed into my own name. Now I did also immerse the
household of Stephanas. For the rest, I do not know whether I immersed anyone else. For Messiah did not send me to immerse,
but to bring the Good News, not with wisdom of words, that the stake of Messiah should not be nullified. And Kĕpha
and Yoḥanan were going up to the Set-apart Place
at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a certain man, lame from his birth,
was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the Set-apart Place
which is called Yaphah, to ask alms from those entering into the Set-apart Place, who, seeing Kĕpha and Yoḥanan about to go into the Set-apart
Place, asked for alms. And Kĕpha, with
Yoḥanan,
looking steadfastly at him, said, “Look at us.” And he gave heed
to them, expecting to receive whatever from them. But Kĕpha said, “I
do not have silver and gold, but what I do possess, this I give you: In the Name of יהושע Messiah of Natsareth,
rise up and walk.” “And by the belief in His Name, this one whom you see and know, His Name made
strong, and the belief which comes through Him has given him this perfect healing before all of you. The Name of יהוה is a strong tower;
The righteous run into it and are safe. “I have sworn by Myself, a word has gone out of My mouth in
righteousness, and shall not return, so that to Me every knee shall bow, every tongue swear. “One shall say, ‘Only
in יהוה do I have righteousness and strength’ – he comes to Him. And all those displeased with Him shall
be put to shame. In יהוה all the seed of Yisra’ĕl shall be declared right
and boast. ” And now, יהוה, look on their threats, and give to Your servants all boldness
to speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand for healing, and signs, and wonders to take place through the Name of Your
set-apart Servant יהושע |
