Psalm 48

A song; a psalm by Korah’s descendants.

Yahweh is great.
    He should be highly praised.
    His holy mountain is in the city of our Elohim.
        Its beautiful peak is the joy of the whole earth.
    Mount Zion is on the northern ridge.
        It is the city of the great king.
Elohim is in its palaces.
    He has proved that he is a stronghold.

The kings have gathered.
    They marched together.
        When they saw Mount Zion,
            they were astonished.
            They were terrified and ran away in fear.
            Trembling seized them
                like the trembling that a woman experiences during labor.
With the east wind you smash the ships of Tarshish.

At the death of a wicked person, hope vanishes.
    Moreover, his confidence in strength vanishes.

A righteous person is rescued from trouble,
    and a wicked person takes his place.
With his talk a godless person can ruin his neighbor,
    but righteous people are rescued by knowledge.

Jesus Cures a Man with a Skin Disease(A)

40 Then a man with a serious skin disease came to him. The man fell to his knees and begged Yeshua, “If you’re willing, you can make me clean.”[a]

41 Yeshua felt sorry for him, reached out, touched him, and said, “I’m willing. So be clean!”

42 Immediately, his skin disease went away, and he was clean.

43 Yeshua sent him away at once and warned him, 44 “Don’t tell anyone about this! Instead, show yourself to the priest. Then offer the sacrifices which Moses commanded as proof to people that you are clean.”

45 When the man left, he began to talk freely. He spread his story so widely that Yeshua could no longer enter any city openly. Instead, he stayed in places where he could be alone. But people still kept coming to him from everywhere.

Footnotes

  1. Mark 1:40 “Clean” refers to anything that Moses’ Teachings say is presentable to God.

Love One Another

Pay your debts as they come due. However, one debt you can never finish paying is the debt of love that you owe each other. The one who loves another person has fulfilled Moses’ Teachings. The commandments, “Never commit adultery; never murder; never steal; never have wrong desires,” and every other commandment are summed up in this statement: “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” 10 Love never does anything that is harmful to a neighbor. Therefore, love fulfills Moses’ Teachings.

11 You know the times in which we are living. It’s time for you to wake up. Our salvation is nearer now than when we first became believers. 12 The night is almost over, and the day is near. So we should get rid of the things that belong to the dark and take up the weapons that belong to the light. 13 We should live decently, as people who live in the light of day. Wild parties, drunkenness, sexual immorality, promiscuity, rivalry, and jealousy cannot be part of our lives. 14 Instead, live like the Lord Yeshua Christ did, and forget about satisfying the desires of your corrupt nature.
