Vayera Gospel

Mattithyahu 8-10
Mat 8:1 And when He came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.
Mat 8:2 And see, a leper came, and bowed before Him, saying, “Master, if You desire, You are able to make me clean.”
Mat 8:3 And stretching out His hand יהושע touched him, saying, “I desire it. Be cleansed!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Mat 8:4 And יהושע said to him, “See, mention it to no one. But go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moshe commanded, as a witness to them.”
Mat 8:5 And when יהושע had entered Kephar Naḥum, a captain came to Him, appealing to Him,
Mat 8:6 saying, “Master, my servant is lying in the house paralyzed, grievously tortured.”
Mat 8:7 And יהושע said to him, “I shall come and heal him.”
Mat 8:8 And the captain answering, said, “Master, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only say a word, and my servant shall be healed.
Mat 8:9 “For I too am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
Mat 8:10 And when יהושע heard, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Truly, I say to you, not even in Yisra’ĕl have I found such great belief!
Mat 8:11 “And I say to you that many shall come from east and west, and sit down with Avraham, and Yitzchak, and Ya`akov in the reign of the heavens,
Mat 8:12 but the sons of the reign shall be cast out into outer darkness – there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Mat 8:13 And יהושע said to the captain, “Go, and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that hour.
Mat 8:14 And when יהושע had come into the house of Kĕpha, He saw his wife’s mother lying sick with inflammation.
Mat 8:15 And He touched her hand, and the inflammation left her. And she arose and served them.
Mat 8:16 And when evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,
Mat 8:17 that it might be filled what was spoken by Yesha’Yahu the prophet, saying, “He Himself took our weaknesses and bore our sicknesses.”
Mat 8:18 And when יהושע saw large crowds about Him, He gave a command to go off to the other side.
Mat 8:19 And a certain scribe, having come near, said to Him, “Teacher, I shall follow You wherever You go.”
Mat 8:20 And יהושע said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the heaven nests, but the Son of Aḏam has nowhere to lay His head.”
Mat 8:21 And another of His taught ones said to Him, “Master, first let me go and bury my father.”
Mat 8:22 But יהושע said to him, “Follow Me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”
Mat 8:23 And when He entered into a boat, His taught ones followed Him.
Mat 8:24 And see, a great gale arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered by the waves. But He was sleeping.
Mat 8:25 And His taught ones came to Him and woke Him up, saying, “Master, save us! We are perishing!”
Mat 8:26 And He said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little belief?” Then, having risen, He rebuked the winds and the sea. And there was a great calm.
Mat 8:27 And the men marveled, saying, “What is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”
Mat 8:28 And when He came to the other side, to the country of the Girgashites, two demon-possessed ones met Him, coming out of the tombs, very fierce, so that no one was able to pass that way.
Mat 8:29 And see, they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, יהושע, Son of Elohim? Have You come here to torture us, before the appointed time?”
Mat 8:30 And at a distance from them there was a herd of many pigs feeding,
Mat 8:31 and the demons begged Him, saying, “If You cast us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
Mat 8:32 And He said to them, “Go.” And they, coming out, went into the herd of pigs. And see, the entire herd of pigs rushed down the steep place into the sea, and died in the water.
Mat 8:33 And the herdsmen fled, and went away into the city and reported all this, and about those possessed by demons.
Mat 8:34 And see, all the city came out to meet יהושע. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their borders.
Mat 9:1 And entering into a boat, He passed over, and came to His own city.
Mat 9:2 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.”
Mat 9:3 And see, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This One blasphemes!”
Mat 9:4 And יהושע, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think wicked thoughts in your hearts?
Mat 9:5 “For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins have been forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’?
Mat 9:6 “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, “Rise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”
Mat 9:7 And he rose and went to his house.
Mat 9:8 And when the crowds saw it, they marveled and praised Elohim who had given such authority to men.
Mat 9:9 And as יהושע passed on from there, He saw a man called Mattithyahu sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.” And he rose and followed Him.
Mat 9:10 And it came to be, as יהושע sat at the table in the house, that see, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His taught ones.
Mat 9:11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His taught ones, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
Mat 9:12 And יהושע hearing this, said to them, “Those who are strong have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.
Mat 9:13 “But go and learn what this means, ‘I desire compassion and not offering.’ For I did not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners.”
Mat 9:14 Then the taught ones of Yochanan came to Him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Your taught ones do not fast?”
Mat 9:15 And יהושע said to them, “Are the friends of the bridegroom able to mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days shall come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they shall fast.
Mat 9:16 “And no one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse.
Mat 9:17 “Neither do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
Mat 9:18 While He was saying all this to them, see, a ruler came and bowed down to Him, saying, “My daughter is dead by now, but come and lay Your hand on her and she shall live.”
Mat 9:19 And יהושע rose and followed him, His taught ones too.
Mat 9:20 And see, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the tzitzit1 of His garment. Footnote: 1See “Tzitzit” - Explanatory Notes and Num. 15:37-41, Dt. 22:12.
Mat 9:21 For she said to herself, “If I only touch His garment, I shall be healed.”
Mat 9:22 But יהושע turned, and when He saw her He said, “Take courage, daughter, your belief has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that hour.
Mat 9:23 And when יהושע came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players and the crowd making a noise,
Mat 9:24 He said to them, “Go back, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” And they laughed at Him.
Mat 9:25 But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
Mat 9:26 And this report went out into all that land.
Mat 9:27 And as יהושע passed on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of Dawiḏ, have compassion on us!”
Mat 9:28 And when He came into the house, the blind men came to Him. And יהושע said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yea, Master.”
Mat 9:29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your belief let it be to you.”
Mat 9:30 And their eyes were opened. And יהושע strictly ordered them, saying, “See, let no one know.”
Mat 9:31 But when they went out, they made Him known in all that land.
Mat 9:32 And as they were going out, see, they brought to Him a man, dumb and demon-possessed.
Mat 9:33 And when the demon was cast out, the dumb one spoke. And the crowds marveled, saying, “It was never seen like this in Yisra’ĕl!”
Mat 9:34 But the Pharisees said, “He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons.”
Mat 9:35 And יהושע went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their congregations, and proclaiming the Good News of the reign, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness among the people.
Mat 9:36 And having seen the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, as sheep having no shepherd.
Mat 9:37 Then He said to His taught ones, “The harvest truly is great, but the workers are few.
Mat 9:38 “Pray then that the Master of the harvest would send out workers to His harvest.”
Mat 10:1 And having called His twelve taught ones near, He gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every bodily weakness.
Mat 10:2 And these are the names of the twelve emissaries: first, Shimʽon, who is called Kĕpha, and Andri his brother; Ya`akov̱ the son of Zaḇdai, and Yochanan his brother;

Mat 10:4 Shimʽon the Kenaʽanite, and Yehuḏah from Qerioth, who did also deliver Him up.
Mat 10:5 יהושע sent these twelve out, having commanded them, saying, “Do not go into the way of the gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Shomeronites,
Mat 10:6 but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Yisra’ĕl.

Mat 10:24 “A taught one is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
Mat 10:25 “It is enough for the taught one to become like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beʽelzebul, how much more those of his household!

Mat 10:34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword,1 Footnote: 1In Lk. 12:51 the word “division” is used, while “sword” has the same meaning here.
Mat 10:35 for I have come to bring division, a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law –
