Immediately Yeshua stretched forth his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

and they begged him that they might only touch the tzitzit of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.

But you say, 'Whoever may tell his father or his mother, "Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,"

he will not honor his father or mother.' You have made the mitzvah of God void because of your tradition.

But he answered her not a word. His talmidim came and begged him, saying, "Send her away; for she cries after us."

There came to him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed them,

Yeshua called his talmidim to himself, and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way."

Now when Yeshua came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his talmidim, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?"

From that time, Yeshua began to show to his talmidim that he must go to Yerushalayim and suffer many things from the Zakenim, chief Kohanim, and Sofrim, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.

Then Yeshua said to his talmidim, "If any man desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.

For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.

Most assuredly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

After six days, Yeshua took with him Kefa, Ya`akov, and Yochanan, his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.

He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.

His talmidim asked him, saying, "Then why do the Sofrim say that Eliyah must come first?

But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened his mouth, you will find a stater. Take that, and give it to them for me and you."

but whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.

"If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
