So Remember Your Hopeless Condition As Gentiles Without Christ And God’s Promises

¹¹ Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh— the ones being called “the uncircumcised” by the one being called “the circumcised” (one done-by-human-hands in the flesh)— ¹² that you were at that time without Christ, having been excluded from the citizenship^[a] of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without-God in the world.

But Now Christ Made Peace And Reconciled Jews And Gentiles To God Through The Cross

¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you, the ones formerly being far-away, were made near by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For He Himself is our peace, the One having made both one and having broken-down the dividing-wall of partition^[b], the hostility— in His flesh ¹⁵ having abolished^[c] the Law of commandments in decrees^[d] in order that He might create the two in Himself into one new man, making peace, ¹⁶ and reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility by it^[e]. ¹⁷ And having come, He announced-as-good-news peace to you, the ones far-away, and peace to the ones near, ¹⁸ because^[f] through Him we both have the access in^[g] one Spirit to the Father.

So You Are No Longer Strangers, But In Christ You Are Fellow Citizens And Family Members

³⁰ And the apostles are gathered-together with Jesus. And they reported to Him all that they did and that they taught. ³¹ And He says to them, “Come, you yourselves privately, to a desolate^[a] place, and rest a little”. For the ones coming and the ones going were many, and they were not even finding-an-opportunity^[b] to eat. ³² And they went away privately in the boat to a desolate place. ³³ And they^[c] saw them going, and many knew^[d] where. And they ran there together on foot from all the cities. And they came-ahead-of ^[e] them. ³⁴ And having gone^[f] out, He saw a large crowd and felt-deep-feelings [of compassion] toward them because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.

In Gennesaret The People Recognize Him And Bring All Their Sick To Him For Healing

⁵³ And having crossed-over, they came on land in Gennesaret and moored. ⁵⁴ And they having gone out of the boat— immediately having recognized Him, ⁵⁵ the people ran around that whole region. And they began to carry around the ones being ill on their cots to-where they were hearing that He was. ⁵⁶ And wherever He was entering— into villages, or into cities, or into fields— they were laying the ones being sick in the marketplaces, and were begging Him that they might touch even^[a] the tassel of His garment. And all who touched it were being restored^[b].
