Publication Notice

A new fresh rendition of the New Testament is to be published as an online serial
under the title of Read IRENT, as a work-in-progress, in Adobe PDF file format,
accessible freely through the web. It strives for clarity in living everyday English,
staying away from the style of the traditional Biblical English in use in most of
conventional translations and in church talk. It is a common peoples English but
no less dignified, with its content not adulterated with ones own personal opinion
and message as seen in several popular modern publications, which have often
gone beyond the limit of paraphrase and actually into a rewriting.

The title IRENT, chosen for the translation text work itself, is an acronym for
Invitation to Reading in English New Testament.

This issue is the basic Readers Edition of IRENT Gospel of Mark (as most
commonly called) in English with the footnotes. All the Endnotes are found in the
Study Ready Edition - Endnotes to be used along with the Study Ready Edition
Text.

Updating is reflected in the release number in the file name itself. Check always
for the latest one to download and read. Check also for additional files, such as
Introduction and Supplements.

casting a large fishing net into the sea.

1:18
And at once, leaving [all] the nets behind which belonged to them,

they followed him.

1:19
And having gone on a little further from there,
he saw Yaakob

the son of Zebedee and his brother Yohan

;
they were in the small-ship, preparing the fishing nets.
1:20
And at once he called them.
And they left their father Zebedee behind at the ship with the hired men
and went after him.

And at once on the shabbats

Yeshua, you Nazarene
Youve come to put us out?
I know
{/mss}
who you are the Holy One of Elohim!

1:25
And Yeshua rebuked it, saying
Shut up and get out of him!

1:26
And the unclean spirit threw him into convulsion
and, giving out a loud shriek, left him.
1:27
And they were all shocked,
so much so that they debated among themselves,
exclaiming
What [sort of things] is this to mean?
What a new teaching with authority!
Even to the unclean spirits he gives out orders;
yea, they obey him!

1:28
And what people heard about him was spreading out at once
everywhere into the whole region around in Galilee.

1:29-30 {//Mt 8:14-15; //Lk +4:38-39} Healing of Kefas mother-in-law
1:29
And at once after they came out of the synagogue,
they went to the home of Shimon and Andrew,
[1:16]

along with Yaakob and Yohan.
1:30
Now Shimon's mother-in-law was lying sick in bed,
suffering with fever,
and at once they told to him about her.
1:31
And hecame over and,
taking her by the hand, raised her up.
And {at once} the fever left her
and she began to attend them.
1:32-34 {//Mt +8:16-17; //Lk +4:40-41} Healing the sick
1:32
And when it became evening as the sun set,
they kept bringing to him
all who were sick
and who were demon-afflicted.
1:33
And the whole town was there,
crowded together at the door!
1:34
And he healed many who were sick with various diseases
and cast out many demons,
and he did not allow the demons to speak out [about it]
because they knew perfectly well who he was
{+mss}
.

1:35-38 {//Lk +4:42-43} This is what Ive come for
1:35
And very early in the morning, yet still dark,
Yeshua rose up and went off to a desolate place
there he was praying;
where he devoted himself to prayer;
1:36
And Shimon and his companions went out
to search for him.
1:37
and when they found him,
they say They all are looking for you!

1:38
And he says to them,
Let us go {elsewhere} into the village-towns around here,
so that I may proclaim there also;
it is, yo see, what Ive come for [from the Father].

1:39 {//Lk +4:44} (cf. Mt 4:23) First tour in Galilee on His mission
1:39
And he was proclaiming [the good news] and expelling demons
in the synagogues there in the whole Galilee.

1:40-45 {//Mt 8:2-4; //Lk 5:12-16} A leper made clean
1:40
And there popped out a leper who came to him,
falling on his knees, he plead with him,
saying to him,
If you only wish to, you can
#
make me clean.

1:41
And Yeshua, having been disturbed deep inside,
reached out his hand;
grasping the leprous [hand], says to him,
I do! Be you made clean!

1:42
{When he had said this}
the mans leprosy at once left from him, leaving him clean.
1:43
And having been moved deeply for him,
Yeshua at once is sending him off,
1:44
saying to him,
Make sure you dont tell [on your way]
anyone anything about this;
instead, go off [first] straight to
the kohen
a

and have him examine you
[Lev 14:2]

and then bring as your
purification-offering
what Moshe had laid down
[Lev 14:4-32]

as a proof to them that you are made clean

1:45
The man then went out [from the kohens]
and began to talk it out openly
and to spread the story around
so much about it [of how Yeshua healed him];
consequently, Yeshua could no longer come into any town openly,
a
1:44 priest [Heb. kohen. Cf. plural in Aramaic; difference in Syame marking for plural.] /Gk.
priest; [cf. to them at the end of the verse.]

but was forced to stay outside in desolate places
and people were still coming to him from everywhere.

(Mark 2)
Healing a paralytic
2:1-12 {//Mt 9:1-8; //Lk +5:17-26} Healing of a paralytic
2:1
After some days when Yeshua returned to Capernaum,
the news got spread that he was at home
a
.
2:2
And there {at once} many got gathered [to hear him speak],
so much so that there was no longer enough room to hold them,
no, not even to get near the doorway.

While he was speaking the word [of God] to them,
2:3
on the scene
they make appearance bringing to him
a paralytic man being carried by four men.
2:4
And being unable to get close to him
because of the crowd,
[this is what they proceeded to do:]
they uncovered the roof above where he was.
And having broken through it,
look, they lowered the straw pallet
with the paralytic man lying on it.
2:5
And when Yeshua saw the trust
which was with them,
he says to the paralytic man,
Dear-child,
your sins [of breaking Gods law] are forgiven!

2:6
Now certain soferim were sitting there,
and thinking and wondering,
2:7
<How can this guy speak like that [ a mere mortal]?
[//Mt ]

hes blaspheming!
[14:64]

Who can forgive sins [against Gods law] except Elohim alone?!
[//Lk 5:21; //Mt ]
>

2:8
And at once Yeshua knowing in his spirit
what they were wondering in themselves,
said to them,
Why do yo wonder
thinking in this way in yor mind?
2:9
Which one is easier?
when I tell the paralytic, <Your sins are forgiven>;
or, I tell <You gotta get on your feet
and pick up your straw pallet away;
and be you on walking off>?

2:10
Now in order that yo may know this (and be proven to yo)
a
2:1 at home [Poss. at Peters house in Capernaum]

that the Son of Man has full authority
on earth to forgive sins

((At this point he says to the paralytic)),

2:11
To you I say:
Get up! ...
You can now pick up your straw pallet away
and go on to your home!

2:12
And the man did get up
and at once picked up the straw pallet,
and went off in the full viewof all;
so that they were all astonished and glorified Elohim, saying
We have never seen it like this!
[+ Blessed is He who has given His power to a mortal man!]

Calling of Levi (=Matthew); Sharing meals with outcasts
Mk 2:13-17 {//Mt +9:9-13; //Lk +5:27-32} Calli ng of Levi (=Mattityahu)
2:13
And Yeshua went out again [walking] along the shore of the Lake,
and all the crowd was coming to him and he taught them.
2:14
And as he was walking along,
he saw Levi
a
the son of Alphaeus seated at the tax-booth
and he says to him,
Be a follower of me!

And Levi got up and followed him, [+ and then invited him to dine at his home].

2:15
And it so came about, while he was reclining at a meal in Levis house
that there many turncoat tax-profiteers
b
and outcast sinners
c

reclined [at a meal] in company of Yeshua and his disciples
d
:
((In fact there was many who were following him)).
2:16
And the soferim of the Pharisees, having seen him eating
with the tax-profiteers and outcast sinners,
said to his disciples,
<{How is it possible} that
among with such tax-profiteers and outcast sinners
he eats {and drinks} together?>

2:17
And when Yeshua heard it, he says to them,
Those who are healthy have no need of a physician,

About fasting
Mk 2:18-22 {//Mt +9:14-17; //Lk +5:33-39} Question about fasting
2:18
Now the disciples of Yohanan the baptizer
and those of the Pharisees were keeping fasting;
and people come and say to Yeshua,

How is it that the disciples of Yohanan the baptizer and of Pharisees
do keep their practice of fasting,
but your disciples dont keep it at all?

2:19
How can [yo expect] the bridegrooms attendants keep their fasting
while he is still with them?
No, they cant
as long as they have the bridegroom with them.
2:20
But the days will come
when the bridegroom will be taken away from them,
and then theyll go on to keep such fasting in that day.

2:21
And no one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old robe:
or else the new patch will, [as it shrinks,]
pull away from the old one and make tear worse.
2:22
And no one puts new wine [in making] [+]
a

into old [stiff and brittle] wineskins
or else the wine [being made] will burst the wineskins [as it ferments up]
and the wineis ruined as well as the wineskins,
No, wineto be made new
{must be} put into fresh [supple] wineskins.

Plucking grain heads on shabbat
Mk 2:23-28 {//Mt 12:1-8; //Lk +6:1-5} {Jn 5:1-47} Plucking grain heads on shabbat

And it so came about, that he was on [one of] the shabbats

going through the fields-sown-with-grain,
and as his disciples were making their way,
they began plucking the heads of grain.
2:24
At that, the Pharisees said to him,
Look, why are they doing this!
Its not allowed [for us] on the shabbats!

2:25
And he said to them,

Healing a man of a withered hand
Mk 3:1-6 {//Mt +12:9-14; //Lk +6:6-11} Healing a man of a withered hand on shabbat
3:1
And Yeshua entered into the synagogue on another occasion,
and a man was there who had a withered hand.
3:2
(And the Pharisees kept watching Yeshua closely
to see if he would heal him on the shabbats;
so that they could somehow accuse him.)
3:3
And he says to the man with the withered hand,
You get up and step forward to the middle!
3:4
Then he said to them around, asking
Isnt it something allowed on the shabbats
doing good deeds rather than doing bad deeds;
Yeah, having a life
g
saved rather than having it killed!
[//Lk 6:9][Cf. Mt 12:10b, 12b]

But they were shut up.

3:5
And Yeshua, looking around at them with indignation,
being thoroughly grieved at the callousness of their heart,
then says to the man, Stretch out your hand!

Mk 3:7-12 {//Mt 4:24-25; 12:15-16; //Lk 6:17-19} Healing multitudes by the Lake
3:7
And as for Yeshua, he withdrew toward the Lake, taking his disciples
and a large crowd from Galilee {followed} him, also from J udea:
3:8
Even from Yerusalem and from IDUMEA
and [PEREA, that is, to the east] across the J ordan River
and those around Tyre and Sidon
the large crowd, having heard what great things he was doing,
came to him.
3:9
And he told his disciples to have a boat ready for him,
to use if necessary to escape the crowds crushing on him.
3:10
In fact, hed healed so many that all those with afflictions were
pressing forward to himin their eagerness to grasp on him.

3:11
Yeah, even the unclean spirits,
[upon coming out of those afflicted people],
as soon as they see the very Yeshua, fell down before him
and cried out,
<Its you! you are the very One who is the Son of Elohim

not to do something let him divulged as to who he was.

And the soferim that came down from Yerusalem were saying,
Hes got with him the demon-god Beelzebul

! and
By the power of this chief demon he is throwing out the demons!

3:23
And having called them, he spoke to them in parables,
How?! How can Satan throw out Satan?
3:24
Yes, if a kingdom be divided against itself,
that kingdom cannot stand and last
3:25
And if a household be divided against itself,
that household cannot stand and last.

And if the Satan rises up against himself and is divided,

4:1 34 Teachi ng i n Parables

(Mark 4)
Parable of a sower
Mk 4:1-9 {//Mt +13:1-9; //Lk 8:4-8} Parable of a sower
4:1
And again Yeshua began to teach by the lakeside.
And the crowd gathered about him was so large
that he got into a small-ship and sat in it out in the sea,
while the whole crowd was on the shore.
4:2
And he was teaching them many things in parables
a
;
in the course of his teaching he was saying to them:

4:3
Listen! The sower went out to sow
4:4
and as he was sowing this was what happened:
A seed fell by the roadside
and the birds came and peck it up.
4:5
And another fell on the rocky-patches, where it did not have much soil,
and at once it sprang up, because the soil was not deep:
4:6
and when the sun came up, it was scorched,
and because it did not have enough roots, it withered away.
4:7
And another fell among the thorny thistles
and the thorny plants grew up and choked it
and it did not produce a harvest.
4:8
And other seed fell on the favorable soil to produce fruit;
having sprouting up and growing,
it brought in some thirtyfolds and some sixtyfolds
and some a hundredfoldsas much.

4:9
And he said,
Whoever has ears to hear had better listen!

a
4:2ff parables [=illustrations in a story line to help understand some aspect of what is otherwise
beyond comprehension of the listerners. Many parables in the Gospels are to make truth claims. Many be
allegorical, but not same as allegories. Not fables. Narratives such as Passion narrative are not parables.]

Mk 4:10-12 {//Mt +13:10-17; //Lk +8:9-10} Purpose of usi ng parables
4:10
When his followers, the twelve [disciples] among them,
found themselves alone with him,
they asked about the parables.
4:11
And this is the reply he made to them:
As for yo, yo have given
the hidden truth of the Kingdomreign of Elohim
{the privilege of knowing it}
[
Mt & Lk]

while to those who are outside,
all things are given in parables:
4:12
because [the fact is]
<they may look and indeed look

but never see it,
and they may hear and indeed hear
but never get understanding;
otherwise they would turn back to God and be forgiven>.

Mk 4:13-20 {//Mt +13:18-23; //Lk +8:11-15} Explai ni ng the parable of the sower
4:13
Yo didnt get the meaning of this parable, did yo?
How then yo are going to understand all the other parables!

4:14
Here, the sower is sowing Gods Word:

4:15
The case where Gods Word is being sown alongside the foot-path
describes these people:
As soon as they would hear it, right away comesthe Satan
a

and takes away the Word which has been sown in them.

4:16
And {likewise} the case of the ones being sown upon the rocky-patches
As soon as they would hear the Wordof God,
right away they accepts it with joy;
4:17
((yet the seeds are not being rooted deeply by themselves
but are short-lived.))
Thus, when tribulation or persecution comes about
on account of the Word,
right away they get stumbled.

4:18
And the case of the ones being sown among the thorny thistles
They have heard the Wordof God,
4:19
but the concerns of this present order of the world
and the deception of worldly riches
and the desires for other things
come in and choke the Wordof God,
a
4:15 Satan [//Mk 8:12 Devil]

thus becoming unfruitful.

4:20
Finally, the case of those
{/mss}
having been sown on the good soil
Anyone who listens to the Word of God and welcomes it
and brings forth fruit,
some thirtyfolds, some sixtyfolds, and some a hundred-folds.

Mk 4:21-25 Lessons
4:21
Surely, an oil-lamp is not brought [into a room]
to be put under the bushel basket or under the couch!?
No, it is brought to be put on the lamp-stand.

4:22
Indeed, there is nothing [made] hidden,
unless it is meant to become disclosed;
nor has anything [made] concealed
unless it is meant to come into light.

4:23
((If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen.))

4:24
Pay attention to what yo hear:
<With whatever [standard of] measure yo measure [others],
it shall be measured to yo.>

{
and more will even be added to yo
}
{who hear},

4:25
Indeed, whoever has something [that which he values],
[more] will be given to him
and he who does not have [to begin with],
what he does have will be taken from him.

Parable of the seed growing secretly
Mk 4:26-29 (cf. Mt 13:24-30) Parable of seed growing secretly
4:26
And he said,
So this is how the Kingdom reign of Elohim is like:
a man throws the seed on to the soil.
4:27
As he sleeps at night and rises up in the day
the seed sprouts
#1
and grows how, he does not know.
4:28
In fact, of her own accord, the earth is bring up her crop

first the sprout,
then the ear of grain,
then the ripe grain in the ear.
4:29
But when the crop is ready,
at once he
puts in the sickle,

4:30
And he said,

To what shall wecompare the reign of Elohim?
Or in what parable shall we put it to present?

4:31
It is [with Gods reign] as with a seed of mustard plant
which, when sown in the soil,
though being a smaller than
all kinds of the seeds [yove sown] in the soil;
4:32
yet, after its been sown, it comes up to grow

he was telling them the word,
teaching as much as they could understand and take it.
4:34
In fact,
he did not tell them anything [about the good news of Gods reign]

without using a parable.

he would explain everything to them

Healing a Gadarene Demoniac
CHealing a Gerasene demoniac
Mk 5:1-20 {//Mt +8:28-34; //Lk +8:26-39} a herd of 2000 swines
5:1
And they reached the other side of the Lake
to the region of the Gerasenes
a
[of Decapolis].
5:2
And when Yeshua got out of the ship [on to near Gadara city],
at once a man under power of an unclean spirit
came out from where the memorial tombs were
and encountered him this way:

5:3
This one had his haunt among those memorial-tombs;
and no one was now able to restrain him, not even with chains;
5:4
in fact, though he had often been bound with ankle-shackles and chains,
the chains were snapped apart by him
and the ankle shackles were smashed.
And no one was strong enough to subdue him.
5:5
And night and day, he was hanging around the tombs and in the hills,
shrieking and bruising himself with stones.

5:6
And on catching sight of Yeshua from afar,
he ran out to him and fell down on his knees before him;
5:7
and shouted out loud, saying
a
5:1 Gerasenes =Lk 8:26 [as in Mt 8:28 v.l.]{/ Gadarenes Mt 8:28} [Prob. modern Kheras, 12 miles
N. of Gadara, on the E shore of the Lake.]

What is it to me and to you?
Yeshua! O Son of Elohim the Most High!
By the name of Elohim I beg you, dont torment me.

5:8
((Yo see, he had told him,
<Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!>))

5:9
And Yeshua asked him,
What is your name?

And he answered, saying
My name is Legion;
a
((it is that there are so many of us.))

5:10
And he pleaded with him very much
that he would not drive them away out of the region.
5:11
Now there was on the hillside
a great herd of swine being fed.
5:12
And the unclean spirits pleaded with him, saying
Send us into the swine, let us go into them!

5:13
And Yeshua allowed them to.
And the unclean spirits came out of the man
and went into the swine
and the whole herd of swine rushed over a cliff into the Lake
((indeed, about two thousand))
b
were drowned in the lake.

5:14
And the swine-herders fled and carried-the-news
to the city and to the countryside.
And people-came out to see what had happened:
5:15
Here, they come up to Yeshua and they see the one
who had been demon-afflicted before,
now sitting there clothed and sober-minded
((the very one who once had the Legion before))
and they became afraid.
5:16
And those who had seen it related to them
how this had happened to that demon-afflicted man
and all about the swine.
5:17
And they began to plead with him to go away from their region.

5:18
And as he was stepping into the ship,
the one who had been demon-afflicted
pleaded to go along with him.
5:19
But Yeshua would not give in to him, saying:
No, go home, to your own people
and tell them
[cf. 5:43]

how much the very Adonai had done to you
and how He had compassion on you.

And when Yeshua had crossed
{

back to the other side of the Lake,
a large crowd gathered around him;
and he was by the seashore.
5:22
And look!
There came up one of the synagogue-leaders,
J airus by name,
and seeingYeshua,
he falls at his feet;
5:23
and earnestly pleaded with him, saying
My little-daughter is at her last days.
Please! do come and lay your hands on her,
that she may be saved to be made whole and may live.

As he went with Jairus.
a large crowd was following him

who had suffered much

she was not helped but rather had grown worse.

she came up from behind in the crowd,
[pressing on and reaching out with effort],
[finally] she did make it to grasp
the tassel of his robe
5:28
as saying to herself
<If I just hold to touch his robe,
I shall be saved to be made whole.>
5:29
And at once her flow of blood stopped at its source,
and she felt in her body
that she was healed from the affliction.

5:30
And at once aware that
the power had gone forth out from him,
Yeshua turned around in the crowd
and he said,

Who is that touched my robe?

5:31
And his disciples said to him,
You see the crowd pressing in on you
and you say <Who touched me?>

5:32
Yeshua, however, kept looking around to see
who had done it.
5:33
But the woman, frightened and trembling,
conscious of what had happened to her,
came forward and fell down before him
and told him everything as really happened.
5:34
And he said to her,
Daughter, your trust has made you well.
Go in peace.
Be sound in health free from your affliction!

5:35
While he was still speaking, there came some
from the household of the very synagogue-president [Jairus]
and they told Jairus,
Your daughter has died!
Why bother the Teacher anymore?

5:36
But Yeshua, overhearing the words spoken,
said to the synagogue-president,
Have no fear; only keep on believing.

5:37
And he let no one to follow along with him,
except Kefa, Yaakob, and Yohan, Yaakobs brother.
5:38
And he came to the house of the synagogue-president
and he saw a commotion,
[those hired mourners] much weeping and loud-wailing.
5:39
And entering in, he said to them,
Why are yo in a commotion and are weeping?
The child is not dead and gone, but shes sleeping.

5:40
And they chuckled-scornfully at him.
However, he put them all out,
and, taking the father of the child and her mother
and those with him,
he went in where the child was.
5:41
And taking the child by the hand, he said to her,
Talitha kum!

((which is, being translated:
Little-girl, (Im talking to you!) Get-up.))

5:42
And at once the little-girl rose up and start walking about;
((see, she was twelve years old.))

And {at once} they were astonished
with a great astonishment.
5:43
And he charged them many times over
that no one should get to know about this
and told them to give her something to eat.

(Mark 6)
Rejected at Nazareth
Mk 6:1-6a {//Mt 13:54-58} (cf. Lk 4:16-30; 4:22; 4:24) Rejected at Nazareth
6:1
And Yeshua went out from there
and came to his home place of Nazareth
being followed by his disciples.
6:2
And when a shabbat day came,
he began to teach in the synagogue.
And many [of the village folks] who heard him were astounded, saying
From where did this man get all these
what kind of wisdom this man got!
and such mighty-works
taking place through his hands?
[Surely not from God!]
6:3
[Then,] isnt this the builder
{/mss}
, the very son of Mariam
a

and brother of Yaakob and Yosi
b
and Yudah and Shimon?!
And his sisters are here with us, arent they?
((So there they got stumbled over at him.))

6:4
But Yeshua said to them,
There is only one place where a prophet is not honored
in his fathers place,
yes, and among his own relatives and in his own house.

6:5
And he was not able to do any mighty-work there,
except that he laid his hands on a few who were sick and healed them.
6:6
And he was astonished at their lack of faith
and went on teaching through the surrounding villages.

6:3 Mariam [ in Aramaic and Greek; a common name of unclear origin. Mary in English; Maria in

The Twelve sent out
Mk 6:7-13 {//Mt 10:5, 7-11, 14; //Lk 9:1-6} The Twelve sent out
6:7
And Yeshua calls to him the Twelve
[3:16]

and began to send them out two by two,
and he gave them authority to cast out the unclean spirits;
6:8
and he ordered them to take up nothing with them for the journey,
a staff [ the one they have ] being the one exception
no paupers bag, no loaf of bread,
no copper coins in their girdle purses;
6:9
[for them to go now,] having put on sandals,
not two tunics to have with them to wear.

6:10
Wherever yo go into a home,
stay there until yo leave [the town].
6:11
And wherever a place will not receive yo,
nor will not listen to yo,
then as yo leave from there,
shake the dust off yor feet
as a testimony against them.
{Yes, indeed.
It will be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah
on the day of judgment than for that city.}

6:12
And they went off
and preached people to repent turning from their sins.
6:13
And they cast out many demons
and, pouring oil on many who were sick, healed them.

(narrative continues)
Herods reaction to Yeshua
Mk 6:14-16 {//Mt 14:1-2; //Lk +9:7-9} Herods reacti on to Yeshua
6:14
And ((king
a
)) Herod Antipas, the Tetrarch, heard of this,
since the name of Yeshua had become publicly known:
Some people were saying
<Its Yohanan the one baptizing has risen [to living]
from out of dead ones!
[vv. 21-29]

Yeah, thats why these powers are at work in him.>
6:15
Others said,
<Its Eliyahu
b
.>
And others said,
<Its a prophet like one of the prophets of old.>

a
6:12-27 king Herod [Herod Antipas, a son of Herod the Great, was not a king but a Tetrarch of
GALILEE and PEREA fr. the death of his father (BC 1) to CE 39. Prob, this epithet is prob. a local custom,
poss. pejorative.]
b
6:15 Eliyahu [Mal 4:5. See 9:11. His appearance to presage the coming of the day of Y H W H.]

6:16
As for Herod, when he heard of it, he said,
That must be Yohanan I had beheaded!
He must have risen [to living] from out of dead ones!

Death of Yohanan the baptizer
Mk 6:17-29 {//Mt + 14:3-12} (Lk 3:19-20) Death of Yohanan the bapti zer
a

6:17-18 {//Mt 14:3-5; //Lk 3:19-20}; Flash-back - Yohanan imprisoned
6:17
In fact, this is the same Herod Antipas that had sent [men]
and had Yohanan arrested
and bound him in prison on account of Herodias [his half-niece],
wife of his half-brother Herod Philip
because he himself married her;
6:18
on that matter Yohanan had been telling Herod,
<It is not permissble for you
to take your brother's wifeto marry.>

6:19-20 {//Mt ; //Lk }
6:19
And Herodias was holding a grudge against him
and wanted to have him killed but she could not do it;
6:20
the fact was, Herod was in awe of Yohanan,
knowing him to be a righteous and holy man,
kept him protected [in prison].
And, having heard the very Yohanan speak,
he remained much puzzled;
yet it gave him pleasure as he continued to listen to him.

6:21-28 {//Mt + 14:6-11; //Lk } Flash-back - Execution of Yohanan
6:21
Then, an opportune time finally came [for Herodias]
when Herod Antipas, for the birthday-festivities,
was giving a banquet for his royal court officials
and the high ranking military officers
and the leading officials of Galilee.

6:22
There the daughter
b
of this very Herodias
came in and danced for them,
which pleased Herod
and those reclining with himat the meal.

The king said to the young maiden,
Ask me for anything you want,
and I will give it to yo.
a
6:15 <Death of Yohanan> [According to Josephus, Yohanan was executed at Machaerus, a frontier
fortress, east of the Dead Sea, BAR 38:05 2012, pp. 30-41.www.bib-arch.org/bar/ Machaerus: Where Salome
Danced and John the Baptist Was Beheaded ][Cf. Tiberias, Herods capital.]
b
6:22 daughter of this very Herodias [from the former husband, Herod Philip (half-brother of Herod
Antipas).][The name of his step-daughter, Salome, is not given in the Scriptures; it is preserved in the
writings of J osephus.]

6:23
And he swore
{many oaths}
to her,
Whatever you ask me, Ill give you
as much as half my kingdom!

6:24
And she went out and said to her mother,
What should I ask for?
And her mother said,
The head of Yohanan the one baptizing.

6:25
And at once she hurried to the king with a request, saying
I want you give me on a platter
the head of Yohanan the baptizer
a
, right now!

6:26
As for the king, he became very distressed at this,
but, bearing in mind the oaths he had made
as well as those guests reclining with himat the meal,
he did not want to refuse her.
6:27
So the king at once sent off a soldier from his guard
giving his order to bring in Yohanans head.
Thus the man went off and
beheaded him in the prison,
6:28
and brought in on a platter his head
and gave it to the maiden,
and the girl in turn gave it to her mother.

6:21-29 {//Mt +14:12a; //Lk } Yohanans disciples
6:29
And when Yohanans disciples heard of it, they came
and took his dead body away and laid it in a memorial tomb.

Mk 6:30 {//Mt 14:12b; //Lk 9:10a) Apostles return from mi ssi on
6:30
And the apostles gather around Yeshua,
and reported to him everything they had done and taught.

Feeding Five Thousands

6:31
Yo yourselves come away [with me]

out into a solitary place where we can be alone
and rest up there a little while.
((He said this because there were many coming and going
and the apostles didnt even have a chance to eat.))

6:32
So they went off by their small fishing ship

6:33
And many saw them going and
recognized where they headed
{/mss}a

and on foot from all the towns they hurried there together
and got ahead of them {and were coming together toward him}.

6:34a
WhenYeshua got out of the ship, saw a large crowd
b
and he was moved with compassion on them
[a,b=Mt 14:14]

c
because they were like sheep not having a shepherd
d
and he began to teach them many things.
[d - cf. Lk 9:11]

6:35
And as the hour had already gotten late,
b[
6:47]

his disciples came up to his side
and said,
Were all alone out here middle of nowhere
and already the hour is late.
6:36
Send them away! . . . If they make their way
into the farms and villages around here
they could buy for themselves something to eat
{/mss}

6:37
But he answered and said to them,
No. [+]
c
Right here, yo, yes, yo are the ones
to give them something to eat.

And they say to him,
Are we to go out
and buy two hundred denarius' worth of loaves of bread
and give it to them to eat?
[J n 6:7]

6:38
How many loaves do yo have?
Go, {and} see!

And when they had found out,
they said,
Five loaves and here two fish.

6:39
And he ordered them to have all recline
in groups and groups on the green grass.
6:40
And they reclined in rows,
by hundreds and by fifties.
6:41
And he took the five loaves also the two fish

6:37 No, [+] [+ they dont have to return home.] [Mt 14:16]

and looking up to the heaven, he praised [+]

and he broke the loaves of the bread,
and began giving them out to his disciples
to place the loaves before the people,
he also divided the two fish among all of them.
6:42
And they all ate and were satisfied.
6:43
And they took up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces,
also pieces of the fish.
6:44
And those who ate {the loaves of bread} were
about five thousand men. [+]

6:45
And at once Yeshua made his disciples to get their fishing ship [+]
d

and to go ahead of him to the other side toward Bethsaida, [+]
e

all the while he on his part would be dismissing the crowd.
6:46
Thus, after letting them leave,
he went off to the hillside to pray.
6:47
And when evening came
[
6:35]
[ =i.e. with sunset]
their fishing ship was already out in the midst of the Lake,
f

while he on his part was alone on land.

6:48
And [+ night was closing] there he watched them laboring hard

6:56
And wherever he went, into villages or towns or the hamlets,
they would lay the sick in the market places [ gathering places for people]

Traditions and teachings
Mk 7:1-13 {//Mt +15:1-9} Teaching of ancestors
Mk 7:1-5 {//Mt 15:1-2}(cf Jn 7:1) (cf. Lk 11:37-41; 6:39) Eating with hands unwashed
7:1
And there coming together to Yeshua
are the Pharisees and some of the soferim
having come from Yerusalem ,
7:2
and saw some of his disciples eating {the} loaves of bread
with hands remained as defiled,
((that is, with hands not washed properly)),
{thus finding fault with them.}

7:3
((In fact, the Pharisees, and indeed all the J udeans,

they do not eat without first having hands
properly washed dipping in water;
and besides there are many other things
handed on them to observe,
such as ritual-washings
#x
of cups and pitchers
and brazen-earthen

vessels {and couches}.))

7:5
The Pharisees and the soferim ask him,
Why dont your disciples follow
the tradition of the Elders?
Instead[+]
b
, they are eating their loaves of bread
with such unwashed hands!

Mk 7:6-8 {//Mt 15:7-8}
7:6
But he said to them,
Yeshayahu did prophecy well
concerning yo, pedantic hypocrites [of religiosity],
as it has been written,
{Is. 29:13}

<
This people with their lips they honor me,

but their heart is far from me.
7:7
To no purpose there theyre worshiping me;
teaching those man-made precepts as doctrine.>

7:8
{Indeed,} yo neglect the commandment of Elohim
and hold fast on the tradition of men,
{like ritual-washings of pitchers and cups
and yo do many other such similar things.}

Mk 7:9-13 {//Mt 15:3-6}
7:9
How neatly yo are setting aside the commandment of Elohim
in order to hold fast on yor tradition [of the Elders]!
7:10
Indeed, Moshe said,
<
Honor your father and your mother>

{Ex. 20:12 & Dt. 5:16}

and, <
He who speaks ill of father or mother,

let him come to his end by death.>
{Ex. 21:17 & Lev. 20:9}

7:11
But this is what yo yourselves say:
if a man tells his father or mother
<This something is now set aside as korban*
which you might have gotten from me for your use>,
7:12
once he has done that, then yore no longer allowing him

b
7:5 Instead [+] [+what we see with our own eyes is that]

to do a thing with it for his father or mother. [+]

7:13
Thus, yo are making the word of Elohim invalid
by yor own tradition which yo have handed down.
And yo do lots of other things like that!
7:11d
*(( Korban [in Hebrew] means offering dedicated to God ))

Mk 7:14-23 {//Mt +15:10-23} Things that make a person defiled
7:14
And Yeshua, having called to him all the crowd again, said to them,
Listen to me, all of yo and,
understand this:
7:15
Nothing outside a person can defile him by going into him;
but it is what comes out from him that defiles the person.
7:16
{((If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen)).}
7:17
And after he left the crowd behind and entered into the house,
his disciples asked him about this parable.

7:18
And he says to them thus,
Like that!
Even yo yourselves are without much understanding!
Dont yo see that nothing that enters the man
[through the mouth] from outside
is able to defile him?
7:19
because it does not go into his heart and mind,
but into his belly and then goes out into the latrine. *
* ((thus purging out all foods eaten [+]
b
.))

7:20
And he said,
It is what comes out of the person
that defiles the very person.
7:21
Indeed, it is from within,
from out of the heart and mind of persons
that evil thoughts come out
and things such as adulteries, fornications
c
, killing,
7:22
stealing, covetousness, evilness, deceitfulness,
sensual indecency, envy, slander,
pride with arrogance, and thoughtless behavior
7:23
All these evil things come out from within
and make the person defiled.

comment. True, all foods are permitted to eat. However, by definition, here, that which is permitted to eat
is called food as stipulated ritually clean (as in Lev 11:1-47; Deu 14:1-21), not as we outside the J udaic
culture call it. Thus, it is pure eisegesis to take the text imply that Yeshua brushes the Judiac dietary law off
just like that, as if telling that anything may be eaten without impunity.]

Then, from there Yeshua took off
and went into the region of Tyre {and Sidon}.
And he entered into a house
and would have no one to get to know it,
yet he could not escape notice.
7:25
In fact, having heard about him,
a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit
came to him and fell down at his feet.
7:26
Now the woman was a Greek-oriented, a Syro-phoenician by birth.
And she kept pleading him
to cast the demon out of her daughter.
7:27
But Yeshua said to her,
Let first the dear-children have their fill, [dont you]?
Its not fair, you see,
to take the bread for the waiting dear-children
and toss it to these little-dogs in the house.

7:28
But she answered and said to him,

{
No,

Of course not. [+]

Even those little-dogs from under the table eat the crumbs
from the children, dont they?

7:29
And he said to her,
For such a reply! . . . Go on your way!

he let out a groaning.

Then, upon seeing these, Yeshua says to him,
Ephphatha!
((that means, in Hebrew language, Be opened>)).

7:35
And {at once} for the deaf one the ears were opened
and that which was holding his tongue was loosed
and he began speaking normally.

7:36
And Yeshua charged them that not to tell anyone.
but the more he charged them,
even more they did spread it.

And he asked them,
How many loaves of bread do yo have?

And they replied,
[Lets check here.]
Well, [voila] seven!

And he told the crowd to recline on the ground
and he took the seven loaves
and, having given thanks, he broke them
and gave to his disciples to distribute;
and they distributed them to the crowd.
8:7
And they also had [brought out] a few fish.

they demanded him a sign from the heaven [to prove who he was].

And he groaned deeply in his spirit and says,
How come people of this generation wants a sign?!
Yes! I say to yo:

9:2
Thus,
six days later Yeshua takes Kefa, Yaakob, and Yohan

along with him
and leads them up a lofty mountain apart by themselves alone.
There [as he was praying]
[Lk 9:29]

he was transfigured before them:
9:3
And his robe became shining, exceedingly white like snow,
such as no launderer on earth is able to make it white.
9:4
And there Eliyahu
[2Kg 2:11]
with Moshe appeared to them
and they were conversing with Yeshua.
c

9:5
And [as the two were leaving] Kefa says in response to Yeshua,
Rabbi

and let us make three tents [+ to rather stay on high up here]

9:6
((he did not in fact know
what response he should make [beyond this]
for they got stunned overcome with awe.))

9:7
And there came a cloud throwing its shadow over them
and a voice came out of the cloud,
saying This is [him no other!
See, he is] my
Son, the dearly-loved!

[1:11; Heb 1:5]

Listen attentively to him

[for what he is going to say]!
[

Deu 18:15]

9:8
And suddenly, as they looked around,
they saw no one any more,
except Yeshua alone with themselves.

9:9
And as they [Yeshua with Kefa, Yaakob and Yohan] were
coming down from the mountain,
he charged them not to tell anyone what they had seen,
until [after] the Son-of-man rises from out of dead ones
a
.

9:10
((So they took in what he had said
and tried to puzzle out among themselves
what this rising from out of dead ones could possibly mean.))

saying Why do the soferim maintain that
it is necessary for Eliyahuto return first
[before the Mashiah comes]?

9:12

saying
Eliyahu?

yes, it is quite true that
he does come first and it is he
who makes all things put back in order
[
Mal 4:5]

[through Adonai]
[everything necessary for the Mashiah
to be recognized and received].
Yeah, how it has been written
about the Son-of-man!
[Isa. 53:3]

that he should suffer many things
and be despised . . .
[after v. 13 cf. Mt]

9:13
There is more to it:

[See *resurrection - BW][The phrase connotes general resurrection which is initiated by Yeshuas
resurrection.]

I tell yo that
as for Eliyahu,
he has not only already come
[Cf. Rev 11:3ff two witnesses]

but also they have treated him as they pleased,
just as it has been written about him.
[In the same way the Son-of-man is about to suffer by them.]

Healing an epileptic son

9:14
And when they
{/mss}
came down to rejoin the other disciples waiting,
they
{/mss}
saw a large crowd around them,
and soferimmaking a fuss with them.
9:15
And at once when all the crowd, when they saw him coming,
were very excited and ran up to greet him.
9:16
And he asked them,
What is all this fuss yo have with the soferim?

9:17
And answering, one of the crowd said,
Teacher, Ive brought my son to you
you see, he has a spirit
that makes him unable to speak;
9:18
and wherever it gets hold of him [in a seizure],
it throws him down to the ground;
and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth
and he becomes flat out exhausted
a

and I asked your disciples to cast it out,
but they could not do it.

9:19
And in response, Yeshua says {to them},
O, generation of people I see faithless [to God]
b

[Oh my, do yo all see to that?]
How long am I going to be with yo-all?
How long am I to bear with yo? . . .

[And told the father,]
[Lk 9:41]

Bring the son over to me!

9:20
And they brought the child over to him
and as he saw him,
at once the spirit threw him into convulsions,
and having fallen on the ground
he was writhing, foaming at the mouth.

9:21
And Yeshua asked the childs father,
How long has this been happening to him?

a
9:18 becomes exhausted [Gk xrain dry up (of strength)] /x: pine away KJV; /x: waste (wither)
away; /x: become rigid (stiff)]
b
9:19 faithless [Mk has no additional phrase and perverting truth Cf. Mt 17:17; //Lk 9:41]

And he answered:
From childhood on, sir.
9:22
Yes,
often it has thrown him into fire, yes, into the river
trying to finish him off!
But anything if you can, help us please!
Have pity on us!

9:23
And Yeshua said to the father
h
,
[Whoa]
That you say, if, if you can?!
{/mss}

Why, all things areperfectly possible
to come to the one who trusts in me!

9:24
And at once the childs father cried out
{with tears}

and said I do trust now, {Master}
Help my unbelieving!

9:25
And when Yeshua saw that a crowd was closing in on them,
he rebuked the unclean spirit,
saying to it,
You the spirit,
making him unable to speak or hear!
I do command you:
Come out of the child and never enter him again!

9:26
And having cried out and convulsed him greatly,
it came out and the boy became as if dead;
so that many said,
He is dead!

9:27
But Yeshua having taken him by the hand, raised him up,
and there he made stand on his feet.

9:28
And when he had entered into the house,
his disciples asked him privately,
Why is it that we could not cast it out?

9:29
This kind thing, [unclean spirit],
is not able to get to come out and be driven off
except [+by the power of holy spirit]
with prayer {and fasting}.

9:34
But they could not answer because, while they were on the road,
they had debating with one another,
who [among them] would be greater.
9:35
And, having sat down, he called over the Twelve [disciples],
and says to them,
If anyone wants to be first,
he must be last of all yes, servant to all.

9:36
And he took a child and put in the midst of them,
and taking the child in his arms,
he said to them,

It was then that {there came Pharisees and} some asked him

And they said,
Moshe permitted that a man simply needs
to
write off a statement of dissolution

to hand out to his wife
in order to put her away out of his house.

Teacher Wish you could do a favor for us . . .

And they said to him,
Let us [have honor to] sit,

But Yeshua said to them,
No

[Be realistic.] Are yo able to drink from the vessel

yo will be immersed:

Yo know that
those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles
lord it over them,

wield authority over them.

But that is not so with yo:
No, whosoever wants to be great among yo,

all the louder he kept crying out,
You [Its you!] Son of David!
Have pity on me.

10:49
Yea, when this made Yeshua stop
and he told them to call him over.

And they are calling the blind man, telling him,
Now, keep your courage, man! Get up!
See, hes calling for you!

10:50
And throwing off his robe he leaped to his feet,
and went over to Yeshua.
10:51
And answering to him, Yeshua says,
What would you have me to do for you?

And the blind man said to him,
O Rabboni
Make me see again!

10:52
And Yeshua said to him,
Be on your way! [Yes, you may go now!]
You have put your trust in me, so are you made whole.

And at once he could see again
and decidely he began to follow Yeshua on the journey.

and he put a fence around it [against animals]
and dug a vat for winepress and built a watch-tower
and leased it out to tenant farmers and traveled abroad.

And in the harvest season, he sent a servant to the farmers,
to collect from the tenant farmers the fruit of the vineyard.

But they grabbed the servant

they banged him on the head

his own son, dearly loved one:

<They will surely respect my own son.>

But those farmers said among themselves,
<This fellow is the future owner Come! Lets kill him
and then the property he gets will be ours.>
12:8
So they took him and killed and
threw him outside the vineyard.

12:9
What then will the vineyard owner do?
He will [surely] come, and destroy the tenant farmers
and will give the vineyard to others.

12:10
Have yo not read this scripture in the Tanakh:

{Ps. 118:22ff LXX}

<A stone-block which the builders rejected
as checked worthless!
the very one has become a cornerstone.
12:11
That very one was from Adonai
and the stone is wonderful in our eyes!>?

Mk 12:12

And they sought to lay hold on him,
for they knew that he told this parable directed to them
but they were afraid of the crowd
so they let him go off and went away.

Question on loyalty; tribute to Caesar
12:13
And they send to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians,
to trap him on his very utterances.
12:14
And when they came, they say to him,
Teacher, we know that youre straightforward,
and you dont seem to yield to no one.
Indeed, you are not going to be swayed by who they are;
but staying only in truth
you teach the way of [life required by] Elohim.
Should this be something really allowed or not? [+]

12:14 poll-tax for tribute [+] [+ such awful thing enforced on us] [=//Mt 22:17 Cf. tribute //Lk
20:22)]; [It was from J ewish people to go to Roman Imperial power since 63 BC. not only economically

this payng poll-tax for tribute sent up to Caesar.
(12:15)
Are we to pay or not?

12:15
But he, knowing how they are overly critical pedants, said to them,
Why are yo putting me on a test?
Bring me a denarius [over here] to see!

12:16
And they brought it [to show to him].
Whose portrait is that?
And inscription?

Whose inscription [is it]?

Caesar's!

12:17
And, saying them,
The things [bearing] Caesars [image] give back to Caesar.

Yeshua answered,
yes, the things belonging to Elohim to Elohim.

Question on afterlife of resurrection
Mk 12:18-27 {//Mt +22:23-33; //Lk +20:27-40)} a questi on on afterli fe
12:18
Now Sadducees are coming to him,
((those are the ones denying
that there is such a thing as afterlife of resurrection)),
and they put a question to him, saying
12:19
Teacher Moshe wrote to us,
<
If a man's brother dies and leaves a wife behind him

and leaves no dear-children,
that his brother is to marry this widow
and raise up seed for his brother>.

12:20
There were seven brothers
and the first one takes a wife but,
when he died, left no offspring;
12:21
and the second marries this widow and died,
and left no offspring,
burdensome, but also symbolic of J ewish homelands lack of sovereignty. It underlined the oppression of the
J ewish people by an alien lord, as the word tribute itself suggests (after Borg et al. p. 63)]
a
12:17 things belonging to Elohim to Elohim [The theme is about loyalty to God vs. Caesar, not
about teaching on taxation or civil duties/issues]

and the third one, the same happens:
12:22
Thus, all the seven left no offspring.
Last of all, the woman died too.
12:23
In the afterlife of resurrection {when they are raised to Life},
to which of them shall she be wife
since it turned out that the seven had her as wife?

12:24
And answering, Yeshua said to them,
Isnt this where yo got it wrong
by not knowing the Tanakh Scriptures,
nor the power of Elohim?
12:25
The fact is that, after people will rise from out of dead ones,
they neither marry, nor are given in marriage;
in this respect theyre like Gods angels who are in the heavens.

12:26
Now, concerning the dead ones,
that they do rise to Life [+]
a

have yo not read in the Scroll of Moshe,

((in the passage about theburning
thorn-bush

[=//Lk 20:37]

how Elohim spoke to him, saying
<
I, I am the very Elohim

yes, Elohim of Yaakob>?
[Exo 3:6] c

12:27
He is not God-being of the dead,

12:28
And one of the soferim
e
came
and heard them debating together
and, seeing that Yeshua had answered them well, asked him,
Which one is really the foremost commandment of all?

And Yeshua answered,
Coming first {of all the commandments} is:

There is no other commandment greater than these.

Question on Mashiahs being Davids son
Mk 12:35-37 {//Mt +22:41-46; //Lk 20:41-44} Mashiahs being Davids Son
12:35
And as he was teaching in the Temple court,
Yeshua in response asked,
How is it possible that the soferim say that
the Gods anointed One
a
is Davids son?

12:36
David himself said in the very holy spirit,
{Ps. 110:1 A Psalmof David}

<YHWH said to my master,

Be you seated at My right until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet>
{
Ps 110:1}
?

12:37
Here David himself calls this Mashiah <Master>.
How then indeed could the Mashiah be
a son of this David?
And the large crowd was delighted to listen to him.

Mk 12:38-40 {//Lk +20:45-47} (cf. Mt +23:1-39) Beware of those soferim
12:38
And he said to them in his teaching,
Beware of the kind of soferim
who desire to walk around in long robes
and to receive greetings in the market-places,
12:39
and to take front-seats in the synagogues
and honor-places at supper;
12:40
those who devour from the families of the widows
and make long prayers for a pretense;
these shall receive heavier judgment.

A widows meager coins
Mk 12:41-44 {//Mt ; //Lk +21:1-4} A widows meager coins
12:41
And Yeshua sat down opposite the Treasury collection receptacles in the Temple
and watched how the crowd put their money
into the receptacles dropping money
and many who were rich were putting in large sums.
12:42
And there came a poor widow and she dropped two leptons
b
in,
(( two make a quadran)).

12:43
And he called his disciples to him and tells them,
Yes! I say to yo,
That widow, poor as she is, has dropped in
more than any of those dropping money into the receptacles:

12:44
yo see, as for all others, it is out of what they can easily spare
that they put in money;
but, as for this widow, it is out of her poverty,
she put in as much as she had
all something to go for her to live on.

Foretelling the Temple destruction
13:1
And as Yeshua was leaving from the Temple court,
[
11:27]

one of his disciples says to him,
Teacher, look there!
Such huge stones!
What magnificent buildings!

13:2
And answering, Yeshua said to him,
Do you see these great buildings [of the Temple edifice]?
[Let me tell yo all:]
Every single stone-block will be pulled-down
there wont be a stone-block left here on top of another!

Asking the signs
13:3
And as he sat in the Mount of Olive-grove
with the Temple in view across the valley,
Kefa, Yaakob, Yohan and Andrew asked him in private,
13:4
Tell us, when will these things be? [Reply- 13:28-36]
And what will be the sign
when these things are all about to be accomplished? [Reply- 13:6-27]

13:5
And answering, Yeshua began to say to them,
Watch out. Dont anyone mislead yo:
Beginning of pangs
13:6
Indeed, many will come upon the basis of my name
saying, <I am the very one[+]
b
>and will mislead many.
13:7
And when yo will hear of wars and news of wars,
do not be alarmed:
in fact, these must necessarily come;
but
the end [+]

c
is yet to come.

yo see, nation will rise against nation
and kingdom against kingdom
and there will be earthquakes in various places;
there will be famines {and disturbances}:
Oh, only beginnings of birth pangs are these things to be!

Persecution foretold
13:9
As for yo, then, watch out for yorselves!
theyre going to deliver yo over
to local-courts,
and in synagogues [when you make your presence there]
yoll be beaten,
and before governors and kings yoll stand
because of me to bear witness before them.
13:10
((Indeed, into all the nations
the good news must be proclaimed first.))
13:11
And whenever they lead yo to judgment, delivering yo up,
dont be anxious beforehand about what yo will speak:
{nor be meditating on an answer}
but whatever will be given to yo in that hour,
yo shall speak that;
it is not yo who speak,
but the very holy Spirit is.
13:12
Yea, brother will deliver over brother to death
and a father a dear-child,
and dear-children will turn against parents
and will put them to death.
13:13
and yo will be hated by all [the people]
because of my name:
[Mt 10:22a]

But the one having endured to the end
will be kept safe and preserved.

13:14-20 {//Mt 24:15-22; //Lk 21:20-24} Abominable thing causing desolation
13:14
However, when yo see
[//Mt 24:15]

the
abominable thing that will wreck devastation,

{the thing spoken of by the prophet Daniel},
{
Dan 9:27}

taking up its position where it ought not be,

((Here, the one reading out aloud to a congregation
should catch what this means!)),

then those who are in J udea
should flee into the mountains:
13:15
and the one who is on the housetop
should not go down into the house,
nor go inside, to take anything out of his house:
13:16
and the one who is in the field

should not return back to get his robe.
13:17
How terrible, then, its going to be for those who are pregnant
and for those who hold babies at their breasts in those days!
13:18
Yes, yo better pray
that it wont occur in the [rainy season of] winter!

13:19
Indeed, there will be tribulationin those days,
tribulation such as has never occurred
from the beginning of the creation which Elohimcreated
until that time,
nor shall ever occur again.
13:20
In fact, if Adonai had not shortened the days,
no mortal human of flesh
a
would be able to survive;
but for the sake of the chosen ones,
whom He chosen to Himself,
He has shortened the days.
False messiahs and false prophets
13:21
Then, too, if anyone says to yo,
<Look, here is the very Mashiah!
Or, <Look, there heis!>;
Dont believe it!
13:22
Indeed, there shall rise up false messiahs
b
and false prophets
and will give signs and wonders,
in order to mislead, if it were possible, even the chosen ones.
13:23
Yo, then, as for yorselves must watch out!
listen! Im giving yo this warning beforehand.

They will see coming of the Son-of-man
13:24
But, in those days, after that tribulation,

the sun will be darkened

and the moon will not give off her light
c{Is 13:10}

13:25
and
the stars will be falling from the heavens

and the powers which are in the heavens will be shaken.
{Is 34:4}

13:26
And then will people see the
Son-of-man
coming
d
[+on to his throne] with clouds
{Dan 7:13}

with great power and glory.
13:27
And then He will send forth His angels
and will gather together His chosen
from the four winds,
from the end of the land to the end of sky.

13:28
Now from the example of the fig tree
[J er 24]

learn this:
When her branch already becomes tender
and its leaves sprout forth,
yo know that near is the summer.
13:29
In the same way too, yo,
when yo see these things happening,
yo realize that its near right at the doors.

13:30
Yes! I say to yo,

will certainly not have passed away,

until all these things take placehere.

the heaven and the earth will go away,

but my words will not pass away.
[//Mt 24:35; //Lk 21:33]

No one knows the day or hour: Keep watch
13:32
Concerning that day or hour, however, no one knows,
not even the Gods angels in heaven,
nor the Son [as the Son-of-man],
but the Father alone
[ He Himself shall in due time have it made known].

13:33
Give attention to it; stay awake
{((and pray))}:
in fact, yo do not know when the time is going to be
[in which the Son-of-man comes].
13:34
It is like this
A man has gone for a journey:
upon leaving his home,
he put his servants in charge,
{yes,} each one with their assigned work,
and also ordered the doorkeeper
to stay awake [while he was gone].
13:35
Therefore, stay awake!
in fact, yo do not know
when the owner of the house is coming,
whether at evening watch or midnight watch
or at rooster-crow watch or moring watch.
c

13:36
Yo dont want him coming suddenly to find yo asleep.

[There was this incident:]
as he was reclining at the meal,
there came a woman
with an alabaster jar of very expensive fragrant-oil
of genuine spikenard.
Breaking open [the seal on] the alabaster jar
she began pouring it over his head [to anoint].
14:4
But there were who, being upset,
started grumbling to one another,
Why is such fragrant-oil being wasted?
14:5
Dont you see?
This fragrant-oil could have been sold
for over three hundred denarim
e

and given out to the poor!

That way they kept on scolding her.

Let her alone! [yo shut up!]
why are yo making her feel so much uncomfortable?
Something fine and wonderful
shes just done on

action (vv. 14-16) to follow the J udean authorities plotting (vv. 1-5). Its content is factually identical to Jn
12:1-9 except that it does not provide the identity of the woman as J ohn does (Martha, sister of Lazarus who
was raised to life by Yeshua in Jn Ch. 11 only known in the J ohannine writings), but instead it provide the
location of the scene. John does chronologically accurately put this on the very first day of the Passion Week.

And meanwhile on his part Kefa had followed Yeshua from afar,
till he got into the courtyardof Kohen HaGadol,
and he sat together with the attendants
and warming himself lighted by the fire.

14:66
Now while Kefa was below in the courtyard,
one of the maidservants of Kohen HaGadol comes;
14:67
and seeing Kefa warming himself,
she looked at him closely and says,
Hey, you! You too were with the Nazarene, {that} Yeshua!

14:68
But he denied, saying
No, I dont know him.

and he went outside to the porch,

Cf. Jn 18:25 those standing-by tell Kefa
14:70a
But he denied it again.
Final denial
14:70b
And after a little while,
again those standing nearby said to Kefa,
Certainly youre one of them!

I dont know this man yore talking about!

the rooster-crow watch of the night was called out.
Then Kefa remembered what Yeshua had said to him,
<Before rooster-crow watch was called out

three times youll deny [that you even know] me.>
And he broke down and burst out crying.

Yeshua vs. Judean Authorities

14:55-64 {//Mt 26:59-66; //Lk 22:66-71} Yeshua faces J udean Authori ti es
14:55
Now the chief kohanim
and the full Sanhedrin
tried to secure evidence against Yeshua to bring him to death,
and were not finding any:

14:56
In fact, many were-giving-false-testimony against him
and their testimonies did not agree:

14:57
((That is, certain ones stood up
and [tried to] give false testimony against him, saying
14:58
<We heard him say,
I will tear down this Temple Sanctuary
that is made with hands
and by three days Ill build another one,
not made with hands.>
14:59
And neither with this their testimony was in agreement.))

14:60
And Kohen HaGadol stood up before the assembly
and asked Yeshua, saying
Nothing? Arent you going to respond to any of these?
What is this charge they are bringing against you?

14:61
But he kept silent and answered nothing.

14:61b
Again Kohen HaGadol asked him and said to him,
So, you, you are the very Mashiah,
the Son of the Blessed One!

14:62
Then Yeshua said,
{You say that} I am!
And yo all will see the
Son-of-man
{Dan 7:13}

being
seated at the right side

a
of Power
{Ps 110:1}

and him
coming with the clouds of the heaven.

{Dan 7:13}

14:63
Then Kohen HaGadol tore his clothes [in horror and grief]
and says,
Why do we still need witnesses?!

Yove now heard such blasphemy!

in the insurrection.))

15:8
And {shouting} the crowd came up and began to ask him
to do what he customarily did for them[in other years].
15:9
And Pilate answered them, saying
Do yo want me to release to yo
the king of the Yahudim?

15:10
((After all, he was well aware that
it was out of their malice
that the chief kohanim had delivered Yeshua over to him.))

15:11
But the chief kohanim stirred up the crowd
to ask release to them BarAbbas instead.
15:12
And Pilate again replied and said to them,
What then do {you want that}
I should do with {the One whom yo call} king of the Yahudim?

15:13
And they shouted again,
Crucify him!

15:14
And Pilate said to them,
Why! what has he done wrong?

But they cried out all the more,
Crucify him!

BarAbbas released; Yeshua flogged
15:15
And Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd,
released to them BarAbbas
and, as for Yeshua, he had him flogged,
and then handed him over to be crucified.
