Look! You will become pregnant, you will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Yeshua.

On the eighth day, when it was time for his b’rit-milah, he was given the name Yeshua, which is what the angel had called him before his conception.

Prompted by the Spirit, he went into the Temple courts; and when the parents brought in the child Yeshua to do for him what the Torah required,

Yeshua’s father and mother were marvelling at the things Shim‘on was saying about him.

Every year Yeshua’s parents went to Yerushalayim for the festival of Pesach.

But after the festival was over, when his parents returned, Yeshua remained in Yerushalayim. They didn’t realize this;

And Yeshua grew both in wisdom and in stature, gaining favor both with other people and with God.

While all the people were being immersed, Yeshua too was immersed. As he was praying, heaven was opened;

Yeshua was about thirty years old when he began his public ministry. It was supposed that he was a son of Yosef who was of Eli,

of Yeshua, of Eli‘ezer, of Yoram, of Mattat, of Levi,

Then Yeshua, filled with the Ruach HaKodesh, returned from the Yarden and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness

Yeshua answered him, “The Tanakh says, ‘Man does not live on bread alone.’”

Yeshua answered him, “The Tanakh says, ‘Worship Adonai your God and serve him only.’”

Yeshua answered him, “It also says, ‘Do not put Adonai your God to the test.’”

Yeshua returned to the Galil in the power of the Spirit, and reports about him spread throughout the countryside.

Then Yeshua said to them, “No doubt you will quote to me this proverb — ‘“Doctor, cure yourself!” We’ve heard about all the things that have been going on over in K’far-Nachum; now do them here in your home town!’

“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!”

But Yeshua rebuked it: “Be quiet, and come out of him!” The demonic spirit threw the man down in the middle of the crowd and came out of him, having done him no harm.

After sunset, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to Yeshua, and he put his hands on each one of them and healed them;

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,

When he saw this, Shim‘on Kefa fell at Yeshua’s knees and said, “Get away from me, sir, because I’m a sinner!”

and likewise both Ya‘akov and Yochanan, Shim‘on’s partners. “Don’t be frightened,” Yeshua said to Shim‘on, “from now on you will be catching men — alive!”

Once, when Yeshua was in one of the towns, there came a man completely covered with tzara‘at. On seeing Yeshua, he fell on his face and begged him, “Sir, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”

Yeshua reached out his hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing! Be cleansed!” Immediately the tzara‘at left him.

Then Yeshua warned him not to tell anyone. “Instead, as a testimony to the people, go straight to the cohen and make an offering for your cleansing, as Moshe commanded.”
