"The Emperor's," they replied. Yeshua said to them, "Nu, give the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor. And give to God what belongs to God!"

Yeshua answered them, "The reason you go astray is that you are ignorant both of the Tanakh and of the power of God.

And as for whether the dead are resurrected, haven't you read what God said to you,

‘I am the God of Avraham, the God of Yitz'chak and the God of Ya‘akov' ? He is God not of the dead but of the living!"

He told him, " ‘You are to love Adonai your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.'

Look! God is abandoning your house to you, leaving it desolate.

Then the people who have done what God wants will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?

They will go off to eternal punishment, but those who have done what God wants will go to eternal life."

Yeshua remained silent. The cohen hagadol said to him, "I put you under oath! By the living God, tell us if you are the Mashiach, the Son of God!"

At about three, Yeshua uttered a loud cry, "Eli! Eli! L'mah sh'vaktani? (My God! My God! Why have you deserted me?) "

So it was that Yochanan the Immerser appeared in the desert, proclaiming an immersion involving turning to God from sin in order to be forgiven.

After Yochanan had been arrested, Yeshua came into the Galil proclaiming the Good News from God:

"The time has come, God's Kingdom is near! Turn to God from your sins and believe the Good News!"

"What do you want with us, Yeshua from Natzeret? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are — the Holy One of God!"

"How can this fellow say such a thing? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins except God?"

In front of everyone the man got up, picked up his stretcher at once and left. They were all utterly amazed and praised God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"
