Yeshua reached out his hand, touched him and said, "I am willing! Be cleansed!" And at once he was cleansed from his tzara‘at.

Then Yeshua said to the officer, "Go; let it be for you as you have trusted." And his orderly was healed at that very moment.

Yeshua said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds flying about have nests, but the Son of Man has no home of his own."

He boarded the boat, and his talmidim followed.

So he stepped into a boat, crossed the lake again and came to his own town.

As Yeshua passed on from there he spotted a tax-collector named Mattityahu sitting in his collection booth. He said to him, "Follow me!" and he got up and followed him.

While Yeshua was in the house eating, many tax-collectors and sinners came and joined him and his talmidim at the meal.

When the P'rushim saw this, they said to his talmidim, "Why does your rabbi eat with tax-collectors and sinners?"

Yeshua, with his talmidim, got up and followed him.

A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years approached him from behind and touched the tzitzit on his robe.

For she said to herself, "If I can only touch his robe, I will be healed."

Then he said to his talmidim, "The harvest is rich, but the workers are few.

Pray that the Lord of the harvest will send out workers to gather in his harvest."

Yeshua called his twelve talmidim and gave them authority to drive out unclean spirits and to heal every kind of disease and weakness.

These are the names of the twelve emissaries: First, Shim‘on, called Kefa, and Andrew his brother, Ya‘akov Ben-Zavdai and Yochanan his brother,

"A brother will betray his brother to death, and a father his child; children will turn against their parents and have them put to death.

"A talmid is not greater than his rabbi, a slave is not greater than his master.

It is enough for a talmid that he become like his rabbi, and a slave like his master. Now if people have called the head of the house Ba‘al-Zibbul, how much more will they malign the members of his household!

a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, so that a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.

Whoever loves his father or mother more than he loves me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than he loves me is not worthy of me.
