New Testament in a Year

6 And it came about on Shabbos that the Moshiach is passing through grain fields, and his talmidim were plucking and eating the heads of grain and rubbing them in their hands. [DEVARIM 23:25]

² Now some of the Perushim said, Why are you doing what is asur (impermissible) on Shabbos?

³ And in reply, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Have you not read what Dovid HaMelech did when he and those with him were hungry, [SHMUEL ALEF 21:6]

⁴ How he entered into the Beit Hashem and took the Lechem HaPanim (the Bread of the Presence), and he ate and gave to the ones with him, which is mutar (permissible) to eat only by the kohanim? [VAYIKRA 24:5,9]

⁵ And he was saying to them, The Ben HaAdam [Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13-14] is Adon HaShabbos.

⁶ And it came about on another Shabbos that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach entered into the shul and taught Torah. And there was a man there also whose right hand was withered.

⁷ Now the Sofrim and Perushim were watching Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to see if he brings refuah on Shabbos, in order that they might find something to accuse him.

⁸ But he knew their machshavot (thoughts), and said to the man having the withered hand, Rise and stand in the midst. And the man got up and stood.

⁹ And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, I ask you whether it is mutar on Shabbos to do hatov or to do harah, to save nefesh or destroy it?

¹⁰ And having looked around at all of them, he said to the man, Stretch out your hand. And he did. And his hand was restored.

¹¹ But they (the Sofrim and the Perushim) were filled with ka’as (anger), and they were discussing with one another what they might do to him.

¹² Now it came about in those yamim that Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach went forth to the mountain to daven, and he was spending the whole night b’tefillah to Hashem.

¹³ And when boker came, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach summoned his talmidim, and chose from them Shneym Asar (Twelve), whom he also named Shlichim:

¹⁴ Shimon, whom also he called Kefa; Andrew his brother; Yaakov, Yochanan, Philippos, Bar-Talmai,

¹⁵ Mattityahu, Toma, Yaakov Ben-Chalfai, Shimon, the one being called the Zealot,

¹⁶ Yehudah Ben Yaakov, and Yehudah from Kriot, who became the boged (traitor, betrayer) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

¹⁷ And having come down with them, he stood on a level place, and a great multitude of his talmidim, and a great multitude of the Am Berit from all Yehudah and Yerushalayim and the coastal region of Tzor and Tzidon

¹⁸ Came to hear him and to receive refuah (healing) from their machlot (illnesses), and the ones being troubled by ruchot hatemeiot (unclean spirits, shedim) were given refuah,

¹⁹ And all were seeking to touch Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach because koach (power) was going out from him, and he was giving refuah to everyone.

²⁰ And lifting up his eyes to look at his talmidim, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said, Ashrey are the aniyim (poor), for yours is the Malchut Hashem.

²¹ Ashrey are the ones hungering now, for you will eat your fill. Ashrey are the ones weeping now, for you will laugh [YESHAYAH 55:1,2; 61:2,3].

²² Ashrey are you when Bnei Adam have sinas chinom (baseless hatred) for you and when they ostracize you and they reproach you and cast out your name as rah (evil) on account of the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13-14].

²³ Have simcha in that day and leap for chedvah (rejoicing), for your sachar (reward) is gadol in Shomayim. According to the same their Avot were doing to the Neviim.

²⁴ But oy to you, you ashirim, for you have already received in full your nechamah (comfort).

²⁵ Oy to you, the ones having been well fed now, for you will hunger. Oy, the ones laughing now, for you will mourn and weep. [YESHAYAH 65:13; MISHLE 14:13]

²⁶ Woe when all Bnei Adam speak well of you. For according to the same things were their Avot doing to the neviei hasheker (false prophets).
