Day 4

1 Now the entire earth had one language and one speech.

2 It came to be, as they traveled from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shana’ar, and they lived there.

3 They said to each other, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had bricks for stone, and they used tar for mortar.

4 Then they said, “Come, let us build a city, and a tower, whose top reaches to Heaven. Let us make a name for ourselves, because if we do not, we will be scattered across the whole face of the earth.”

5 YAHUAH came down to see the city and the tower which the people were building.

6 YAHUAH said, “Look, they are one people! They all have one language, and this is what they begin to do! Nothing shall stop them now from doing whatever they plan to do.

7 Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so they shall not understand what each other is saying.”

8 So YAHUAH scattered them abroad, all over the earth, from that moment, and they stopped building the city.

9 Therefore, the name of the city is called Babel, because it was there that YAHUAH confused the languages of all the earth. From that moment, YAHUAH scattered the people abroad all over the face of the earth.

1 After some time, Yahusha went back to Kaphar Nahum. A few days after He arrived, people heard that He was back home.

2 So many came and gathered where Yahusha was staying that there was no longer space for everyone, not even near the door. However, Yahusha kept on teaching them the Word of Aluah.

3 Four people approached carrying a crippled man on a mat.

4 However, because of the size of the crowd, they could not get the crippled man on the mat close to Yahusha. So, they cut a hole in the roof above Yahusha and lowered the man down in front of everyone.

5 When Yahusha saw how much faith they had, He said to the crippled man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

6 Some of the scribes of the Law were sitting there. They started murmuring among themselves.

7 They said, “Why does this man speak this way? He is committing blasphemy. Only Aluah can forgive sins.”

8 Yahusha recognized what they were discussing, and He said to them, “Why do you fill your minds and hearts with these types of questions?

9 Which is easier, to say to a paralyzed person, ‘Your sins are forgiven?’ or to say, ‘Get up, take up your mat, and walk?’

10 Now you will know that the Son of Man has the authority on earth to forgive sins.” Yahusha then spoke to the crippled man.

11 He said, “Get up! Take up your mat and go home.”

12 The crippled man immediately got up. He picked up his mat and walked out while everyone was watching the man in amazement. The people started praising Aluah! They said, “We have never seen anything like this!”

1 About this time, the disciples came to Yahusha and asked Him, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”

2 Yahusha then called a little child to sit among the disciples.

3 He said, “Truly I say to you, unless you change and become like this little child, you shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

4 Whoever shall humble themselves like this little child will be the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

5 Whoever shall welcome such a little child in My Name welcomes Me.

6 However, anyone who causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for them to have a huge millstone hung around their neck and be cast into the depths of the sea.

7 Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble and fall into sin! Such things must happen, but woe to the person who causes these types of things to happen!

8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble and sin, then cut it off and throw it away. It is better to enter into life crippled or lame than to be thrown into the lake of eternal fire with two hands or two feet.

9 If your eye causes you to stumble and sin, then tear it out and throw it away. It is better to enter into life with one eye than to be cast into the lake of fire with two eyes.

10 Be careful that you do not look down on one of these little ones. I promise you that their messengers are always looking at the face of My Father in Heaven.

11 Remember, the Son of Man came to save those who are lost.

12 Let Me ask you this question. If someone had one hundred sheep and one of them wandered off, wouldn’t the person leave the ninety-nine on the hillsides and go look for the one that wandered off?

13 If the person finds the one lost sheep, they are happier about having the one lost sheep that they found than the ninety-nine who did not wander off.

14 In the same way, My Father in Heaven does not want any of these little ones to perish.

15 If your brother or sister does something wrong to you, go and correct them when you are alone together. If they listen to you, then you have found favor with your brother or sister.

16 However, if they will not listen, take one or two other believers with you, because every word can be established by the mouths of two or three righteous witnesses.

17 If they still will not pay attention to correction, then let the assembly know about it. If they will not listen to the assembly, then treat them as you would a Guiy or a tax collector.

18 I assure you that whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven, and whatever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven.

19 Again, I say to you, that if two of you shall agree on earth about anything, then My Father in Heaven shall do it for you.

20 Wherever two or three are gathered together in My Name, I am there with them.

21 Then Kapa said to Yahusha, “Master, how many times should I forgive my brother or sister who does something wrong against me? Should I forgive them as many as seven times?”

22 Yahusha replied to him, “Not just seven times, but rather forgive them as much as seventy-seven times.

23 Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

24 When it came time to settle, they brought a servant to him who owed him ten thousand bags of money.

25 Because the servant did not have enough money to pay back the debt he owed, his master ordered that he should be sold, along with his wife, children, and everything else he had, and the money obtained be used as payment.

26 The servant fell down, kneeled before his master, and said, ‘Please, be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’

27 The master had compassion on that servant, released him, and forgave the entire debt.

28 However, when that servant left, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred coins. He grabbed him around the throat and said, ‘Pay me back what you owe me!’

29 The fellow servant fell down and begged him, saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’

30 However, he refused his request. Instead, he threw his fellow servant into prison until he paid back the debt he owed him.

31 When the other fellow servants saw what happened, they were deeply upset. They went and told their master all that had happened.

32 Then the master called the first servant to return in front of him. He said to the servant, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave all your debts because of how humble you were when you asked me!

33 Shouldn’t you also show compassion toward your fellow servants, just like I showed compassion to you?’

34 His master was furious with him! He handed him over to the guard who was responsible for punishing prisoners. He had to stay there until he paid back the entire debt.

35 My heavenly Father shall also do the same to you if you don’t forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”
