THE PATTERN FOR PRAYER OF YAH SHUA
And so be it, as he prays in a place, when he ceases, one of his disciples say to him, Adonay, doctrinate us to pray exactly as Yahn also doctrinated his disciples. 2 And he says to them, whenever you pray, word, Our Father in the heavens, Hallowed be your name: your sovereigndom come: your will become - as in the heavens, thus in earth. 3 Give us daily our subsistence bread: 4 and forgive us our sins; for we also forgive everyone indebted to us. And bear us not into testing but rescue us from evil. 5
YAH SHUA ON PERSISTENCE
And he says to them, Who of you has a friend and goes to him at midnight, and says to him, Friend, lend me three breads; 6 since a friend of mine in his journey comes to me and I have naught to set by him? 7 - and he answers from inside, saying, Embarrass me not: the portal is already shut and my children lie down with me; I cannot rise and give you. 8 I word to you, Though he not rise and give him because he is his friend, yet indeed because of his impudence he rises and gives him as much as he needs. 9 And I word to you, Ask, and it is given you: seek, and you you find: knock, and it opens to you. 10 For everyone who asks, takes; and whoever seeks, finds; and knocks, and it opens. 11 And what father, if a son asks bread of you, gives him a stone? Or if a fish, for a fish gives a serpent? 12 Or whenever he asks an egg, gives him a scorpion? 13 So if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more your Father in the heavenlies gives the Holy Spirit to them who ask him? 14
YAH SHUA CASTS OUT A DEMON
And he casts a demon, and it is mute: and so be it, the demon goes and the mute speaks. - and the multitude marvels. 15
YAH SHUA ACCUSED OF BLASPHEMY
And some of them say, He casts out demons by Baal Zebub the arch of the demons. 16 And others, testing him, seek a sign from the heavens from him. 17 But he, knowing their thoughts, says to them, Every sovereigndom divided against itself desolates; and a house against a house falls. 18 And also, if Satan divides against himself, how stands his sovereigndom? - because you word that I cast out demons by Baal Zebub. 19 And if I by Baal Zebub cast demons, by whom do your sons cast them? because of this they become your judges. 20 But if by the finger of Elohim I cast out demons, then the sovereigndom of Elohim approaches you. 21 Whenever the mighty armed guards his courtyard, his holdings are in shalom: 22 but when a mightier than he comes upon him and triumphs over him, he takes from him all his panoply wherein he confided and distributes his booty. 23 Whoever is not with me is against me: and whoever gathers not with me scatters. 24 Whenever the impure spirit goes from a human he passes through waterless places seeking repose: and finding none, he words, I return to my house whence I come. 25 And when he comes, he finds it swept and adorned. 26 Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself; and they enter and settle there: and the finality of that human becomes worse than the first. 27 And so be it, as he words these, a woman of the multitude lifts her voice and says to him, Blessed - the womb that birthed you, and the breasts you nippled. 28 But he says, Still rather, blessed - whoever hear the word of Elohim and guard it. 29
THE SIGN OF YONAH
And the multitude throngs, and he begins to word, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and no sign is given except the sign of Yonah the prophet: 30 for exactly as Yonah became a sign to the Nineviym thus also the Son of humanity to this generation. 31 A sovereigness of the south rises in the judgment with the men of this generation, to condemn them: for she came from the extremities of the earth to hear the wisdom of Sholomoh; and behold, much more than Sholomoh is here. 32 The men of Nineveh rise in the judgment with this generation to condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Yonah; and behold, much more than Yonah is here. 33
YAH SHUA ON CANDLES AND MENORAH
No one lights a candle and puts it in a secret place neither under a measure; but on a menorah that whoever enters sees the brilliance. 34 The candle of the body is the eye: so whenever your eye is clear, your whole body also is brightly lighted; but when evil, your body also is dark. 35 So scope out; that the light within you be not darkness. 36 So if your whole body is brightly lighted having no part dark, the whole is brightly lighted, as whenever the lightning of a candle lights you. 37
YAH SHUA ON THE SIX WOES
And as he speaks, a Pharisee asks him to dine with him: and he enters, and reposes: 38 and the Pharisee sees, and marvels that he not first baptizes preceding dinner. 39 And Adonay says to him, Now you Pharisees purify the cup and the platter outward; but your inward is full of plunder and wickedness. 40 Thoughtless! He who made the outward made he not also the inward? 41 But rather give mercies of your inward self; and behold, all are pure to you. 42 But woe to you, Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all herbs; and pass over judgment and the love of Elohim: these you must do, and not forsake the other. 43 Woe to you, Pharisees! for you love the preeminent cathedras in the synagogues and salutations in the markets. 44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees! Hypocrites! for you are as covered tombs, and the humans who walk over know it not. 45 And one of the torahists answers, wording, Doctor, Thus wording, you also insult us. 46 And he says, Woe to you also, you torahists! For you overburden humanity with oppressive burdens; and you yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers slaughtered them: 48 then you witness that you well-approve the works of your fathers: for they indeed slaughtered them, and you build their tombs. 49 Because of this also the wisdom of Elohim says, I apostolize them prophets and apostles, and of them, they slaughter and persecute: 50 that the blood of all the prophets, poured from the foundation of the cosmos, is required of this generation 51 - from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechar Yah - who destructed between the sacrifice altar and the house: yes, I word to you, It is required of this generation. 52 Woe to you, torahists! For you take the key of knowledge: and you yourselves enter not; and them entering, you forbid. 53 And as he words these to them, the scribes and the Pharisees begin to begrudge him excessively and to provoke him to instruct about much 54 - lurking for him, and seeking to hunt something from his mouth, to accuse him.
