TORAH

BaMidbar Chapter 25
10 And יהוה spoke unto Moshe, saying, 11 "Pin'khas Ben El Azar, Ben Aharon, the kohen, has turned My wrath away from B'nei Yisra'el, in that he was very jealous for My sake among them, so that I consumed not B'nei Yisra'el in My jealousy. 12 Therefore say, 'Behold, I give unto him My Brit Shalom'; 13 and it shall be unto him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting kehunah; because he was jealous for his Elohim, and made atonement for B'nei Yisra'el." 14 Now the name of the man of Yisra'el that was slain, who was slain with the Midyanit woman, was Zimri Ben Salu, a prince of a fathers' house among the Shimoni. 15 And the name of the Midyanit woman that was slain was Kozbi, the daughter of Tzur; he was head of the people of a fathers' house in Midyan.
16 And יהוה spoke unto Moshe, saying, 17 "Harass the Midyanim, and smite them; 18 for they harass you, by their wiles wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peh'or, and in the matter of Kozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midyan, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peh'or."

Melakhim Alef Chapter 18
46 And the hand of יהוה was on Eli-Yahu; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Akhav to the entrance of Yizreilah.

מְּלָכִים א פרק יח
מו וְיַד יהוה הָיְתָה אֶל אֵלִיָּהוּ וַיְשַׁנֵּס מָתְנָיו; וַיָּרָץ לִפְנֵי אַחְאָב עַד בֹּאֲכָה יִזְרְעֶאלָה.

Melakhim Alef Chapter 19
1 And Akhav told Izavel all that Eli-Yahu had done, and how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. 2 Then Izavel sent a messenger unto Eli-Yahu, saying, "So let the gods do [to me], and more also, if I make not your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time." 3 And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Be'er Sheva, which belongs to Yehudah, and left his servant there. 4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree; and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, "It is enough; now, O יהוה , take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers." 5 And he lay down and slept under a broom tree; and, behold, a Malakh touched him, and said unto him, "Arise and eat." 6 And he looked, and, behold, there was at his head a cake baked on the hot stones, and a cruse of water. And he did eat and drink, and laid himself down again. 7 And the Malakh יהוה came again the second time, and touched him, and said, "Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for you." 8 And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meal forty days and forty nights unto Khorev the mount of Elohim.
9 And he came there unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the D'var יהוה came to him, and He said unto him, "What are you doing here, Eli-Yahu?" 10 And he said, "I have been very jealous for יהוה ; for B'nei Yisra'el have forsaken Your Brit, thrown down Your altars, and slain Your Nevi'im with the sword; and I, even I only am left; and they seek my life, to take it away." 11 And He said, "Go forth, and stand upon the mount before יהוה ." And, behold, יהוה passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before יהוה ; but יהוה was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake; but יהוה was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire; but יהוה was not in the fire; and after the fire, a still, small voice. 13 And it was so, when Eli-Yahu heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, "What are you doing here, Eli-Yahu?" 14 And he said, "I have been very jealous for יהוה ; for B'nei Yisra'el have forsaken Your Brit, thrown down Your altars, and slain Your Nevi'im with the sword; and I, even I only am left; and they seek my life, to take it away." 15 And יהוה said unto him, "Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damesek; and when you come, you shall anoint Khaza'el to be king over Aram; 16 and Yehu Ben Nimshi shall you anoint to be king over Yisra'el; and Elisha Ben Shafat of Avel Mekholah shall you anoint to be Navi under you. 17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapes from the sword of Khaza'el shall Yehu slay; and him that escapes from the sword of Yehu shall Elisha slay. 18 Yet will I leave seven thousand in Yisra'el, all the knees which have not bowed unto Ba'al, and every mouth which has not kissed him."
19 So he departed there, and found Elisha Ben Shafat, who was plowing, with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth; and Eli-Yahu passed over unto him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Eli-Yahu, and said, "Let me, I pray, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you." And he said unto him, "Go back; for what have I done to you?" 21 And he returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Eli-Yahu, and ministered unto him.

Ma’asei HaShlikhim Chapter 2
1 And when the days of Shavu'ot were counted, while they were assembled together, 2 suddenly there came a sound from Heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared to them tongues which were divided like flames of fire, and they rested upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with The Ru'akh HaKodesh, and they began to speak in various languages, according to whatever HaRu'akh gave them to speak.
5 Now there dwelt at Yerushalayim devout men and Yehudim from every nation under heaven. 6 And as the sound took place, all the people gathered together, and they were confused because every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed, and marveled, saying one to another, “Behold, are not all these who speak from the Galil? 8 How is it that we hear every man in our own native language? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those who dwell in Mesopotamia, Yehudim, and Cappadocians, and those from Pontos, and Asia Minor, 10 and those from the region of Phrygia, and of Pamphylia, and of Mitzrayim, and of the regions of Lybia near Cyrene, and those who have come from Rome, both Yehudim and proselytes, 11 and those from Crete, and Arabians, behold, we hear them speak in our own languages of the wonderful works of Elohim.” 12 And they were all amazed and stunned, saying one to another, “What is happening?” 13 Others who were mocking said, “These men are full of choice wine and are drunk.”
14 And afterwards Shimon Kefa stood up together with the eleven Talmidim, and lifted up his voice and said to them, “Men, Yehudim, and all that dwell at Yerushalayim, let this be known to you, and hearken to my words; 15 for these men are not drunk as you suppose, for behold, it is but the third hour of the day. 16 But this is that which was spoken by Yo'el HaNavi: 17 “It shall come to pass in the last days, says Elohim, that I will pour out my Ru'akh upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; 18 and upon my menservants and upon my maidservants will I pour out my Ru'akh in those days; and they shall prophesy; 19 and I will show wonders in the heavens and signs on the earth: blood and fire and vapor of smoke: 20 the sun shall be changed into darkness and the moon into blood, before that great and fearful day of יהוה shall come. 21 And it shall come to pass that whoever shall call on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.'

Yokhanan Markos Chapter 11
27 And they came again to Yerushalayim; and while He was walking in the Heikhal, the chief Kohanim and the Sofrim and the elders came to him. 28 And they said to Him, “By what authority do you do these things, and who gave you this authority to do these things?” 29 Yeshua said to them, “I will also ask you a word to tell me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 From where is the immersion of Yokhanan, from heaven, or from men? Tell me.” 31 And they reasoned among themselves and said, “If we should say to Him, ‘From heaven,' He will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?' 32 And if we should say, ‘From men,' there is the fear of the people, for all of them regard Yokhanan as a true navi.” 33 So they answered, saying to Yeshua, “We do not know.” He said to them, “I will also not tell you by what authority I do these things.”

Yokhanan Markos Chapter 12
1 And He began to speak to them in mishlim. “A man planted a vineyard and fenced it all around, and he dug in it a wine press, and built a tower in it, and then he leased it to laborers and went on a journey. 2 And in due season he sent his servant to the laborers to receive some of the fruits of the vineyard. 3 But they beat him and sent him away empty. 4 And again when he sent to them another servant, they stoned him also and wounded him and sent him away in disgrace. 5 And again he sent another, but they killed him; and he sent many other servants, some of them they beat and some they killed. 6 But finally, he had a very beloved son, and he sent him to them last of all, for he said, ‘They might feel ashamed before my son.' 7 But the laborers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.' 8 And they took and killed him, and threw him outside of the vineyard. 9 What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those laborers, and give the vineyard to others. 10 Have you not read this scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected, the same became the cornerstone? 11 This was from יהוה , and it is a wonder in our eyes'.” 12 They wanted to seize Him, but they were afraid of the people; for they knew that He spoke this mashal against them; and they left Him and went away.
13 And they sent to Him some men of the Sofrim and of the Herodians, that they might trap Him in speech. 14 They came and asked Him, “Teacher, we know that you are true and you do not favor any man; for you are impartial, and you teach the way of Elohim in truth. Does Torah permit to give head tax to Caesar or not? 15 Shall we give or shall we not give?” But He knew their scheme, and said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.” 16 And they brought it to Him. He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” They said, “Caesar’s.” 17 Yeshua said to them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to Elohim what is Elohim’s.” And they were amazed at Him.
18 Then the Tzedokim came to Him, those who say there is no resurrection; and they asked Him, saying, 19 “Teacher, Moshe wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife and leaves no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. 20 Now there were seven brothers; the first one took a wife and died, and left no offspring. 21 Then the second married her, and he died; he also left no offspring; and likewise the third one. 22 So all seven of them married her, and left no offspring. And after them all, the woman also died. 23 Therefore at the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven had married her.” 24 Yeshua said to them, “Is it not that you err because you do not understand the scriptures nor the power of Elohim? 25 For when they rise from the dead, men neither marry women, nor are women given in marriage to men; but they are like the Malakhim in heaven. 26 Now concerning the rising of the dead, have you not read in the book of Moshe, how Elohim said to him from the bush, ‘I am the Elohim of Avraham, the Elohim of Yitz'khak, and the Elohim of Ya'akov?' 27 And yet He is not the Elohim of the dead, but of the living. You therefore greatly err.”
28 And one of the Sofrim came near and heard them debating, and he saw that He gave them a good answer. So he asked Him, “Which is the first mitzvah of all?” 29 Yeshua said to him, “The first of all the mitzvot is,

‘Shema, Yisra'el, יהוה Eloheinu, יהוה Ekhad! [Hear O Yisra'el, יהוה is our Elohim, יהוה is One]. 30 And you must love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your might;' this is the first mitzvah. 31 And the second is like unto it, ‘You must love your neighbor as your own nefesh.' There is no other mitzvah greater than these two.”

32 The Sofer said to Him, “Well said, Rabbi, you have said the truth, that He is One, and there is no other besides Him; 33 and that a man should love Him with all the heart and with all the mind and with all the soul and with all the might, and love his neighbor as his own nefesh; this is far more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.” 34 When Yeshua saw that he replied wisely, He answered, saying to him, “You are not far from Malkhut HaElohim.” And no man dared again to question Him.
35 And Yeshua answered, saying as He taught in the Heikhal, “How do the Sofrim say that Mashi'akh is Ben David? 36 For David himself said through The Ru'akh HaKodesh, ' יהוה said to My Adon, ‘Sit on my right hand until I put your enemies as a stool under your feet'.' 37 Now therefore David himself calls him My Adon, and how can He be his son?” And all the people heard Him with pleasure.

כח וְנִגַּשׁ אֶחָד מִן הַסּוֹפְרִים וְשָׁמַע אוֹתָם מִתְוַכְּחִים. וְרָאָה כִּי הֵיטֵב הֵשִׁיב לָהֶם תְּשׁוּבָה, וְשָׁאַל אוֹתוֹ: אֵיזוֹהִי הַמִּצְוָה הָרִאשׁוֹנָה מִכֻּלָּן? כט אָמַר לוֹ יֵשׁוּעַ: הָרִאשׁוֹנָה מִכָּל הַמִּצְווֹת:


'שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יהוה אֶחָד ; ל וְאָהַבְתָּ אֶת יהוה אֱלֹהֶיךָ בְּכָל לְבָבְךָ וּבְכָל נַפְשְׁךָ וּבְכָל שִׂכְלְךָ וּבְכָל מְאֹדֶךָ.' זֹאת הִיא הַמִּצְוָה הָרִאשׁוֹנָה. לא וְהַשְּׁנִיָּה, הַדּוֹמָה לָהּ: 'וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ.' מִצְוָה אַחֶרֶת גְּדוֹלָה מֵאֵלֶּה, אַיִן.

לב אָמַר לוֹ הַסּוֹפֵר: יָפֶה, רַבִּי. אֱמֶת אָמַרְתָּ, שֶׁאֶחָד הוּא וְאֵין אַחֵר מִלְּבַדּוֹ; לג וְשֶׁיֹּאהֲבֵהוּ אָדָם בְּכָל הַלֵּב וּבְכָל הַשֵּׂכֶל וּבְכָל הַנֶּפֶשׁ וּבְכָל מְאֹדוֹ, וְשֶׁיֹּאהַב אֶת רֵעֵהוּ כָּמוֹהוּ, חָשׁוּב יוֹתֵר מִכָּל הָעוֹלוֹת וְהַזְּבָחִים. לד יֵשׁוּעַ רָאָה שֶׁבְּחָכְמָה הֵשִׁיב תְּשׁוּבָה, וְעָנָה וְאָמַר לוֹ: אֵינְךָ רָחוֹק מִמַּלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים. וְלֹא הֵעֵז אִישׁ שׁוּב לִשְׁאֹל אוֹתוֹ.
לה וְעָנָה יֵשׁוּעַ וְאָמַר כַּאֲשֶׁר לִמֵּד בַּהֵיכָל: אֵיךְ אוֹמְרִים הַסּוֹפְרִים שֶׁהַמָּשִׁיחַ הוּא בֶּן דָּוִד? לו שֶׁהֲרֵי הוּא דָּוִד אָמַר בְּרוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ, נְאֻם יהוה לַאדוֹנִי: שֵׁב לִימִינִי עַד אָשִׁית אוֹיְבֶיךָ הֲדוֹם תַּחַת רַגְלֶיךָ. לז לְפִיכָךְ הוּא דָּוִד קוֹרֵא לוֹ אָדוֹנִי, וְאֵיךְ הוּא בְּנוֹ? וְכָל הֶהָמוֹן שָׁמַע אוֹתוֹ בַּהֲנָאָה.
