Yeshua answered him, "The Tanakh says, ‘Worship Adonai your God and serve him only.'"

Then he took him to Yerushalayim, set him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, jump from here!

Yeshua answered him, "It also says, ‘ Do not put Adonai your God to the test .'"

"Yaah! 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!"

also demons came out of many, crying, "You are the Son of God!" But, rebuking them, he did not permit them to say that they knew he was the Messiah.

But he said to them, "I must announce the Good News of the Kingdom of God to the other towns too — this is why I was sent."

One day, as Yeshua was standing on the shore of Lake Kinneret, with the people pressing in around him in order to hear the word of God,

The Torah-teachers and the P'rushim began thinking, "Who is this fellow that speaks such blasphemies? Who can forgive sin except God?"

Immediately, in front of everyone, he stood up, picked up what he had been lying on, and went home praising God.

Amazement seized them all, and they made a b'rakhah to God; they were awestruck, saying, "We have seen extraordinary things today."

I have not come to call the ‘righteous,' but rather to call sinners to turn to God from their sins."

He entered the House of God and took and ate the Bread of the Presence" — which no one is permitted to eat but the cohanim.

It was around that time that Yeshua went out to the hill country to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.

He looked at his talmidim and said: "How blessed are you poor! for the Kingdom of God is yours.

They were all filled with awe and gave glory to God, saying, "A great prophet has appeared among us," and, "God has come to help his people."

All the people who heard him, even the tax-collectors, by undergoing Yochanan's immersion acknowledged that God was right;

After this, Yeshua traveled about from town to town and village to village, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom of God. With him were the Twelve,

and he said, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God; but the rest are taught in parables, so that they may look but not see, and listen but not understand .

Catching sight of Yeshua, he screamed, fell down in front of him and yelled, "Yeshua! Son of God Ha‘Elyon! What do you want with me? I beg you, don't torture me!"

"Go back to your home and tell how much God has done for you." He went away proclaiming throughout the whole town how much Yeshua had done for him.
