Ray Geide

When Ray Geide was in the sixth grade, a friend told him, "I tried to read the Bible once, but there were too many thees and thous. I gave up." When he heard this, he wondered why someone had not updated the Bible and changed the thees and thous to “you” so that unchurched people like his friend could read it.At that time he didn’t know that for almost fifty years God would prepare him to do just that and much more.Early in his life, he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theology and a Masters of Divinity degree with highest honors in New Testament Studies with an emphasis in New Testament Greek.For many years, he taught about the Bible and its words in many churches. He pastored 5 churches.In 1992 God called him to go to Russia as a missionary. For nine years he lived among the Russian people and became fluent in their language. This increased his Greek abilities because the Russian language is similar in structure and use to Greek.While in Russia, he started a software development company, Super Win Software, Inc., to support his family and ministry. He often spent days and weeks solving complex problems with simple lines of code.After returning to the United States, he worked as a translator for sixteen years in a nonprofit organization and for two years in a business.God brought all these factors and many more together to build a more accurate Bible that unchurched people can read.To learn more about Ray Geide and/or to read his articles about the Bible and its words, go to breakthroughversion.com.

    New Testament - Ray Geide

    The High Definition Bible

    The Breakthrough Version is different than other Bibles for a good reason: because it states with great precision and detail what the original Greek text says.

    Unfortunately, other Bibles (including the KJV) have chosen not to stay as close to the Greek text as they could. The huge hidden flaw of today's English Bibles is that they are low resolution translations that blur God's Message.

    The Breakthrough Version is a high definition Bible that exceeds other Bibles in the following ways.

    More Literal

    Look at the words, the phrasing, and the grammar in this Bible version. Compare them to the original Greek text and you will find that they are more literal than other Bibles.

    The Breakthrough Version incorporates many breakthroughs in translating that allow it to be more literal without being unreadable. It even translates hundreds of words that other Bibles (including the KJV) do not.

    This is important because God wrote His message to the human race in Koine Greek (the New Testament) and has saved it for us in thousands of Greek manuscripts in vaults all across the globe. The closer a Bible gets to the Greek message, the closer it gets to God’s message.

    The Breakthrough Version boldly stands with a flashlight bringing readers and students back to the original Greek wording.

    More Precise

    Today’s Bible versions leave out much Greek detail. They are not precise. The Breakthrough Version corrects this problem through a new system of words that more correctly and precisely translates the Greek words.

    For example, the KJV translates eight different Greek words as master, even though only one of them actually means master. When Jesus is called Master in the KJV, the reader does not know if He is being called Teacher 1, Mentor 2, Rabbi 3, Boss 4, or Lord 5 (1 Matthew 8:19 - διδάσκαλος, 2 Matthew 23:10 - καθηγητής, 3 Matthew 26:25 - ραββί, 4 Luke 5:5 - επιστάτης, 5 Mark 13:35 - κύριος). This is not a problem in the Breakthrough Version.

    Another example is the word, prayer. Four different Greek words are translated as prayer in most Bible versions (KJV, NKJV, NIV, ESV, NRSV, TLB, NLT, HCSB,MSG, NASB). These Bibles do not give the precise meaning of the Greek words. The Breakthrough Version translates them in such a way to show their specific meaning: prayer 1, plea 2, intervention 3, and wish 4 (1 Matthew 21:13 - προσευχή, 2 Luke 1:13 - δέησις, 3 1 Timothy 4:5 - εντευξις, 4 James 5:15 - ευχή).

    Examples like these are plentiful. They all point to what most Christians are unaware of: their Bibles are blurring God’s message. The Breakthrough Version brings it all into focus.

    More Contemporary

    The Bible’s traditional words (words like, grace, gospel, lord, and prophet) first entered the Bible between 1395 and 1611. Back then, people spoke a lot different than they do today and these words were common everyday words. Today they are not. Centuries ago these words died and were replaced by newer words, except in the Bible.

    Most Christians refuse to let these dead words die. They have reanimated their corpses into a specialized church lingo, proud to have these zombies roaming the pages of their Bibles and the halls of their churches, chasing away the unchurched and killing the message of the Bible.

    Ignorant of the original meanings these zombies had, they give them new meanings, special Bible meanings, meanings that everyone in church accepts as true, but meanings that do not fit into the Bible. A comprehensive look at these words in the Bible would expose their fraud. But few are looking.

    The Breakthrough Version slays these zombies and replaces them with the correct contemporary words that everyone knows and uses everyday.

    More Correct

    As the English language has changed, some of the Bible’s words still in use today have also changed in meaning. Most readers miss this fact. Words like, study, believe, preach, worship, reward, disciple, and messenger do not mean in the Bible what readers think they mean. Readers are misled.

    Most English dictionaries don’t help because they only tell what these words mean today. They don’t tell what they meant hundreds of years ago when they first entered the English Bible. What they meant back then is what they mean in the Bible. To find out what they meant back then, the history of the word must be studied. Other Bible versions miss this.

    The Breakthrough Version is on the breaking edge of finding these misleading words and updating them with words that have the correct meaning. This makes the Breakthrough Version more correct.

    More Consistent

    Bible versions should be consistent in how they translate the Greek text, but they aren’t.

    A common practice in today’s Bible versions is to translate one Greek word two or more different ways in English even when it is not necessary. In the KJV, over 400 Greek words that could have been translated the same way every time are translated three or more different ways. This makes the translation unreliable and dynamic.

    For example, the KJV not only translates the Greek word λόγος (logos) as word, but also as account, cause, communication, X concerning, doctrine, exhortation, fame, X have to do, intent, matter, mouth, preaching, question, reason, + reckon, rumor, say, saying, shew, X speaker, speech, talk, thing, tidings, treatise, utterance, X what, and work (28 different ways).

    χάρις (grace) is translated 11 different ways in the KJV (acceptable, benefit, favour, gift, grace, gracious, joy, liberality, pleasure, thank, thankworthy).

    δύναμις (power) is translated 12 different ways in the KJV (ability, abundance, meaning, might, mighty, mighty deed, mighty work, miracle, power, strength, virtue, violence, wonderful work, worker of miracles).

    Translating the Greek like this is unwarranted, yet Bibles are notorious for doing so. It is common practice for them.

    Without a consistent translation, the reader is misguided about what the Greek text says and the translator is open to translating a passage however he wants. A consistent translation prevents this and ties the translator to the original text.

    The Breakthrough Version uses the latest technology to ensure a more consistent translation of the Greek text.

    More literal, more precise, more contemporary, more correct, and more consistent. What an accomplishment! The Breakthrough Version has achieved a much higher level of detail and clarity.

    When you are at a Bible study and this Bible reads differently than the others, just say, In the Greek, it says, and read what this Bible says. You will educate yourself and everyone else as to what the original authors wrote and meant.

    This Bible removes the veil that other versions have unknowingly thrown over God and His message for centuries.

    With this Bible, I place a high definition translation of God’s message in the hands of ordinary people. In it, God’s message is not only accurate, it is easy. You know the words used by it. You don’t need a Bible dictionary, a college degree, or even years of going to church to understand it.

    Just read it.

    But please read it. Read it every day. Meditate on it. Learn from it. It is God’s message to you. It will change your life.

    His Humble Servant,

    Ray Geide

    Matthew 1

    1.1 A scroll of the birth of Jesus, the Anointed King, David's son, Abraham's son.

    1.2 Abraham had a son, Isaac. Isaac had a son, Jacob. Jacob had several sons, Judah and his brothers.

    1.3 Judah had two sons, Phares and Zerah, from Tamar. Phares had a son, Hezron. Hezron had a son, Aram.

    1.4 Aram had a son, Aminadab. Aminadab had a son, Nahshon. Nahshon had a son, Salmon.

    1.5 Salmon had a son, Boaz, from Rahab. Boaz had a son, Obed, from Ruth. Obed had a son, Jesse.

    1.6 Jesse had a son, David, the king. David had a son, Solomon, from the widow of Uriah.

    1.7 Solomon had a son, Rehoboam. Rehoboam had a son, Abijah. Abijah had a son, Asa.

    1.8 Asa had a son, Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat had a son, Joram. Joram had a son, Uzziah.

    1.9 Uzziah had a son, Jotham. Jotham had a son, Ahaz. Ahaz had a son, Hezekiah.

    1.10 Hezekiah had a son, Manasseh. Manasseh had a son, Amos. Amos had a son, Josiah.

    1.11 Josiah had several sons, Jeconiah and his brothers, at Babylon's relocation of Judeans.

    1.12 After Babylon's relocation of Judeans, Jeconiah had a son, Shealtiel. Shealtiel had a son, Zerubbabel.

    1.13 Zerubbabel had a son, Abiud. Abiud had a son, Eliakim. Eliakim had a son, Azor.

    1.14 Azor had a son, Zadok. Zadok had a son, Achim. Achim had a son, Eliud.

    1.15 Eliud had a son, Eleazar. Eleazar had a son, Matthan. Matthan had a son, Jacob.

    1.16 Jacob had a son, Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born, Jesus, the One who is called the Anointed King.

    1.17 So all the generations from Abraham until David are fourteen generations. And from David until Babylon's relocation of Judeans are fourteen generations. And from Babylon's relocation of Judeans until the Anointed King are fourteen generations.

    1.18 The birth of Jesus, the Anointed King, was like this: when His mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before the time for them to even come together, she was found having a baby in her womb from the Sacred Spirit.

    1.19 Joseph, her husband, who did what is right and who did not want to make an exhibit of her, intended to dismiss her in an unnoticed way.

    1.20 When he contemplated these things, look, an angel of the Master appeared to him throughout a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, you should not be afraid to take along Mary, your wife. You see, what is born in her is from the Sacred Spirit.

    1.21 She will deliver a son, and you will call His name Jesus. You see, He will rescue His ethnic group from their sins."

    1.22 This whole thing had happened so that what was stated by the Master through the preacher in Isaiah 7:14 might be accomplished that says,

    1.23 "Look, the virgin will have a baby in her womb and deliver a son. And they will call His name Immanuel, that is translated from Hebrew as 'God with us'."

    1.24 When Joseph got up from the slumber, he did as the angel of the Master instructed him, and he took his wife along.

    1.25 And he was not knowing her until the time that she delivered a son. And he called His name Jesus.

    Matthew 2

    2.1 When Jesus was born in Bethlehem, Judea in the days of Herod the king, look, Magian gurus from eastern regions showed up in Jerusalem

    2.2 saying, "Where is the King of the Jewish people that was delivered in birth? You see, we saw His star in the east, and we came to bow down to Him."

    2.3 When King Herod heard this, he was uneasy and all of Jerusalem with him.

    2.4 And when he gathered all of the head priests and Old Testament transcribers of the ethnic group together, he was inquiring from the side of them where the Anointed King should be born.

    2.5 The transcribers said to him, In Bethlehem, Judea. You see, this is what has been written through the preacher in Micah 5:2,

    2.6 "And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are you not even the smallest among the leaders of Judah? You see, a person who is a leader will come out of you, someone who will shepherd My ethnic group Israel."

    2.7 At that time, after Herod in an unnoticed way called for the Magian gurus, he verified from the side of them the time of the shining star.

    2.8 And when he sent them to Bethlehem, he said, "After traveling there, question specifically about the young child. Whenever you find him, report to me in order that after going there, I also might bow down to him."

    2.9 After the Magian gurus listened to the king, they traveled, and, look, the star that they saw in the east was going ahead of them until after going, it was stopped up on top of where the young child was.

    2.10 When they saw the star, they were terribly happy with great happiness.

    2.11 And when they went into the house, they saw the young child with Mary, His mother. And after they got down, they bowed to Him. And when they opened their treasures, they offered up contributions to Him: gold, high quality incense, and myrrh (expensive perfume).

    2.12 And when they were divinely notified throughout a dream not to double back to Herod, they took a back way using another road to their rural area.

    2.13 After they took a back way, look, an angel of the Master appears throughout a dream to Joseph, saying, "After you get up, take along the young child and His mother, escape into Egypt, and be there until I tell you. You see, Herod is going to be looking for the young child for the purpose to ruin Him."

    2.14 After Joseph got up, he took along the young child and his mother at night and took a back way into Egypt.

    2.15 And he was there until the passing away of Herod so that what was stated by the Master through the preacher in Hosea 11:1 might be accomplished that says, Out of Egypt I called My Son.

    2.16 At that time, when Herod saw that He was mocked by the Magian gurus, he was very angry. And after sending soldiers out, he executed all the boys in Bethlehem and in all its borders from two years of age and below according to the time that he verified from the side of the Magian gurus.

    2.17 Then what was stated through Jeremiah, the preacher, in Jeremiah 31:15 was accomplished that says,

    2.18 A sound was heard in Ramah, much crying and mourning, Rachel crying for her children. And she was not wanting to be encouraged because they are not.

    2.19 After Herod passed away, look, an angel of the Master appeared throughout a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

    2.20 saying, "After you get up, take along the young child and His mother, and be traveling into the land of Israel. You see, the people looking for the soul of the young child have died."

    2.21 After Joseph got up, he took along the young child and His mother, and went into the land of Israel.

    2.22 After hearing that Archelaus is king of Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go off to there. After being divinely notified throughout a dream, he took a back way into the parts of Galilee.

    2.23 And after going, he resided in a city called Nazareth in order that what was stated through the preachers might be accomplished, He will be called a Nazarene.

    Matthew 3

    3.1 In those days, John the Submerger shows up speaking publicly in the backcountry of Judea

    3.2 and saying, "Change your ways. You see, the empire of the heavens has come near;

    3.3 for this is what was stated through Isaiah, the preacher, in Isaiah 40:3 that says, 'A voice shouting in the backcountry, get the road of the Master ready. Make His paths straight.'"

    3.4 The same John was having his apparel out of camel's hair and a leather sash around his waist. His meal was grasshoppers and wild honey.

    3.5 At that time, Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the surrounding rural area of Jordan were traveling out to him.

    3.6 And they were being submerged in the Jordan River by him, acknowledging their sins out loud.

    3.7 When he saw many of the Separatists and Sadducees coming up to his submersion, he said to them, "Offspring of poisonous snakes, who put in front of your face to escape away from the punishment that is going to come?

    3.8 So produce fruit deserving of the change of ways.

    3.9 And it should not seem good to you to be saying among yourselves, 'We have a father, Abraham.' You see, I say to you that God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.

    3.10 The ax is already lying close to the root of the trees. So every tree that does not produce nice fruit is chopped out and thrown into a fire.

    3.11 I certainly submerge you in water for a change of ways, but the One coming behind me is stronger than me, whose sandals I am not sufficient to haul. He will submerge you in the Sacred Spirit and fire,

    3.12 whose sifting fork is in His hand. And He will completely clear off His grain-processing lot and will gather His grain together into the grain bin, but the husks will be burned up with unextinguished fire."

    3.13 At that time, Jesus shows up from Galilee to John on the Jordan for the to be submerged by him part.

    3.14 John was thoroughly hindering Him, saying, I have a need to be submerged by You, and You are coming to me?

    3.15 But when Jesus responded, He said to him, "Leave it just now. You see, this is how it is appropriate for us to accomplish every bit of the right way." Then he leaves it.

    3.16 After Jesus was submerged, right away he stepped up out of the water and, look, the heavens were opened to Him. And He saw the Spirit of God stepping down as if It were a dove and coming over Him.

    3.17 And look, a voice from the heavens saying, "This is My Son, the loved One, in whom I am pleased."

    Matthew 4

    4.1 At that time, Jesus was led up into the backcountry by the Spirit to experience trouble by the Accuser.

    4.2 And after He went without food for forty days and forty nights, later He was hungry.

    4.3 And when the one who tries to cause trouble came forward, he said to Him, "If you are a son of God, say that these stones will become loaves of bread."

    4.4 When Jesus answered, He said, "It has been written in Deuteronomy 8:3, 'Not on bread alone will the person live, but on every statement traveling out through God's mouth.'"

    4.5 Then the Accuser takes Him along into the sacred city, stood Him on the wing of the temple grounds,

    4.6 and says to Him, "If you are a son of God, throw Yourself down. You see, it has been written in Psalm 91:11–12, 'He will demand His angels concerning You, and they will pick You up on their hands so that You will not ever stub Your foot on a stone.'"

    4.7 Jesus was declaring to him, "Again it has been written in Deuteronomy 6:16, 'You will not try to cause trouble for the Master, your God.'"

    4.8 Again, the Accuser takes Him along to a very high mountain and shows Him all the empires of the world and their magnificence.

    4.9 And he said to Him, I will give you all these if, after you get down, you will bow to me.

    4.10 At that time, Jesus says to him, "Go back, Opponent. You see, it has been written in Deuteronomy 6:13, 'You will bow down to the Master, your God, and minister to Him alone.'"

    4.11 Then the Accuser leaves Him and, look, angels came forward and were serving Him.

    4.12 When He heard that John was turned in, He took a back way into Galilee.

    4.13 And after leaving Nazareth down there, after going, He resided in Capernaum, the city along the sea in the borders of Zebulon and Naphtali,

    4.14 so that what was stated through Isaiah, the preacher, in Isaiah 9:1–2 might be accomplished that says,

    4.15 "The land of Zebulon and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, on the other side of the Jordan River, Galilee of the non-Jews,

    4.16 the ethnic group, the one sitting in darkness, saw a great light. And to the people sitting in a rural area and in death's shadow, a light ascended to them."

    4.17 From then on, Jesus began to be speaking publicly and to be saying, Change your ways. You see, the empire of the heavens has come near.

    4.18 As He traipsed around along the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon (the one who is called Peter) and Andrew (his brother) throwing a throw net into the sea. You see, they were fishermen.

    4.19 And He says to them, Come on behind Me, and I will make you fishermen of people.

    4.20 Right away, after the brothers left the nets, they followed Him.

    4.21 And when He walked on from there, He saw two other brothers, James (the son of Zebedee) and John (his brother) in the boat with Zebedee (their father) developing their nets. And He invited them.

    4.22 Right away, after the brothers left the boat and their father, they followed Him.

    4.23 And He was leading them around in all of Galilee teaching in their synagogues, speaking publicly about the good news of the empire, and healing every illness and every frailty among the group.

    4.24 And the hearsay about Him went off into all of Syria. And they brought to Him all the people who had it bad, who were constrained by various illnesses and excruciating pains, who had demons, who were mentally deranged, and who were disabled. And He healed them.

    4.25 And big crowds followed Him out of Galilee, Decapolis, Greater Jerusalem, Judea, and the other side of the Jordan River.

    Matthew 5

    5.1 When He saw the crowds, He climbed up into the mountain. And after He was seated, His students came to Him.

    5.2 And when He opened His mouth, He was teaching them, saying,

    5.3 "The people who are poor in the spirit are blessed because the empire of the heavens is theirs.

    5.4 The grieving people are blessed because they will be encouraged.

    5.5 The submissive people are blessed because they will inherit the earth.

    5.6 The people hungering and thirsting for the right way are blessed because they will be full.

    5.7 The kind forgiving people are blessed because they will receive forgiving kindness.

    5.8 The people who are clean in the heart are blessed because they will see God.

    5.9 The peacemaking people are blessed because they will be called God's sons.

    5.10 The people who have been persecuted on account of the right way are blessed because the empire of the heavens is theirs.

    5.11 You are blessed when on account of Me they will insult you, persecute you, and, lying, say every evil thing against you.

    5.12 Be happy and excited because your pay in the heavens is much. You see, this is how they persecuted the preachers, the ones before you.

    5.13 You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lost its flavor, what will be salted with it? It no longer has the strength for anything except after being thrown outside to be traipsed on by the people.

    5.14 You are the light of the world. A city is not able to be hid lying up on top of a mountain.

    5.15 Neither are they burning a lamp and placing it under the two gallon measuring bowl, but on the lampstand, and it is shining for everyone in the house.

    5.16 This is how your light must shine in front of the people in order that they might see your nice actions and admit that your Father, the One in the heavens, is magnificent.

    5.17 You should not assume that I came to tear the Law or the Preachers down. I did not come to tear down, but to accomplish what they say.

    5.18 You see, amen, I tell you, until the sky and the earth pass, one small letter or one hook of a letter will not in any way pass out of the Law until all things happen.

    5.19 So whoever breaks one of the smallest of these demands and teaches the people that way, he will be called smallest in the empire of the heavens. But whoever will do and teach them, this person will be called huge in the empire of the heavens.

    5.20 You see, I tell you that unless your right way overflows to be more right than the Old Testament transcribers' and Separatists', you will not in any way go into the empire of the heavens.

    5.21 You heard that it was stated to the original people, 'You will not murder. Whoever murders will be confined at the judgment.'

    5.22 I tell you that everyone who is enraged at his brother will be confined at the judgment. Whoever says to his brother, 'Stupid!' will be confined at the council. Whoever says, 'Fool!' will be confined into the Hinnom Valley of the fire.

    5.23 So if you are offering up your contribution on the altar and there you remember that your brother has something against you,

    5.24 leave your contribution there in front of the altar, and go back. First, settle the problem with your brother, and then when you come, offer up your contribution.

    5.25 You must be having a good attitude quickly to your opponent in the court case until a certain time that you are with him on the way to court so that the opponent in the court case will not turn you over to the judge, the judge to the rower, and you will be thrown into jail.

    5.26 Amen, I tell you, you will not in any way come out from there until you give back the last penny.

    5.27 You heard that it was stated, 'You will not cheat on your spouse.'

    5.28 I tell you that everyone looking at a woman with the intent to desire her, he has already cheated on his spouse with her in his heart.

    5.29 If your eye, the right one, trips you up, take it out and throw it away from you. You see, it is advantageous to you that one of your body parts be ruined and your whole body not be thrown into Hinnom Valley.

    5.30 And if your right hand trips you up, chop it out and throw it away from you. You see, it is advantageous to you that one of your body parts be ruined and your whole body not go away into Hinnom Valley.

    5.31 It was stated that whoever dismisses his wife must give her a divorce.

    5.32 I tell you that everyone who dismisses his wife, besides and outside of a matter of sexual sin, makes her to be cheated on, and whoever marries a woman who has been dismissed is cheating.

    5.33 Again you heard that it was stated to the original people, 'You will not break an oath, but you will give back your oath to the Master.'

    5.34 I tell you not to guarantee at all, not with the sky because it is a throne of God,

    5.35 neither with the earth because it is a footrest for His feet, neither with Jerusalem because it is a city of the great King.

    5.36 Neither should you guarantee with your head because you are not able to make one hair white or black.

    5.37 Your answer must be yes, yes, no, no. Whatever is much more than this is from the evil one.

    5.38 You heard that it was stated, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'

    5.39 I tell you to not stand in opposition to the evil, but anyone who slaps you in your right cheek, also turn the other to him.

    5.40 And the person who wants you to be judged and to take your long undershirt, also leave your robe to him.

    5.41 And anyone who will sequester help from you for one mile, go back with him for two.

    5.42 Give to the person who asks you. And you will not turn away the person who wants to get a loan with interest from you.

    5.43 You heard that it was stated, 'You will love the person near you and hate your enemy.'

    5.44 I tell you, love your enemies, and pray over the people persecuting you

    5.45 in order that you might become sons of your Father, the One in the heavens, because He brings His sun up on evil and good people and rains on people who do what is right and people who do what is wrong.

    5.46 You see, if you love the people who love you, what pay do you have? Don't the tax collectors also do the same thing?

    5.47 And if you say hello only to your brothers, what are you doing much more than others? Don't the non-Jewish people also do the same thing?

    5.48 So you will be complete people as your Father, the heavenly One, is complete."

    Matthew 6

    6.1 "Pay attention to not be doing your right way in front of the people with the intent to be viewed by them. But if not, you definitely are getting no pay beside your Father, the One in the heavens.

    6.2 So when you make a charitable donation, do not blow a trumpet in front of you, even as the fakers do in the synagogues and in the streets in order that they might be made magnificent by the people. Amen, I tell you, they have all of their pay.

    6.3 But as you make a charitable donation, your left hand must not know what your right hand is doing

    6.4 in order that your charitable donation may be in the hidden realm. And your Father, the One who sees in the hidden realm, will give back to you.

    6.5 And when you all pray, you will not be as the fakers because they are fond of standing to pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the plazas in order that they might be shown to the people. Amen, I tell you, they have all of their pay.

    6.6 But when you pray, go into your storage room. And after you close your door, pray to your Father, the One in the hidden realm, and your Father, the One who sees in the hidden realm, will give back to you.

    6.7 As you all pray, you will not say empty repetitions, even as the non-Jewish people do. You see, it seems to them that they will be listened to in their many words.

    6.8 So you should not be like them. You see, your Father realizes what things you have a need of before the time for you to ask Him.

    6.9 So this is how you must pray: 'Our Father, the One in the heavens, Your name must be made sacred.

    6.10 Your empire must come. What You want must happen, as in heaven, also on earth.

    6.11 Give us our bread (the following day bread) today.

    6.12 And forgive us of our debts as we also forgave the people with a debt to us.

    6.13 And you will not carry us into trouble, but save us from the evil.'

    6.14 You see, if you will forgive the people of their infractions, your Father, the heavenly One, will also forgive you.

    6.15 But if you will not forgive the people, neither will your Father forgive your infractions.

    6.16 When you go without food, do not become as the sad-faced fakers. You see, they cause their true faces to disappear in order that it will appear to the people that they are going without food. Amen, I tell you, they have all of their pay.

    6.17 But as you go without food, dab perfume on your head, and wash your face

    6.18 in order that you will not appear to the people as a person going without food, only to your Father, the One in the hidden realm. And your Father, the One who sees in the hidden realm, will give back to you.

    6.19 Do not save treasures for yourselves on the earth where moth and dining cause it to disappear and where thieves break in and steal.

    6.20 But save treasures for yourselves in heaven where neither moth nor dining cause it to disappear and where thieves do not break in, nor steal.

    6.21 You see, where your treasure is, there your heart will also be.

    6.22 The lamp of the body is the eye. So if your eye is dedicated, your whole body will be illuminated.

    6.23 But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be dark. So if the light, the one in you, is darkness, how great is the darkness.

    6.24 No one is able to be a slave to two masters. You see, either he will hate the one and love the different one, or he will have one in front of him and ignore the different one. You are not able to be a slave to God and to wealthiness.

    6.25 Because of this I tell you, do not worry about your soul, what you will eat or what you will drink, neither about your body, what you will put on. Isn't the soul more than the meal and the body more than the apparel?

    6.26 Look into the winged birds of the sky, because they do not seed, nor harvest, nor gather into grain bins, and your Father, the heavenly One, nurtures them. Aren't you much more substantial than they?

    6.27 Who from among you by worrying is able to add on to his height one cubit (an elbow to fingertip length)?

    6.28 And why must you worry about apparel? Carefully learn about the wild flowers of the field, how they grow. They do not labor, nor spin yarn.

    6.29 But I tell you that not even Solomon in all of his magnificence put robes around himself as one of these.

    6.30 If God dresses the grass of the field like this, that exists today and that tomorrow is thrown into an earthen furnace, will He not do much more for you, seldom trusting people?

    6.31 So do not worry, saying, 'What will we eat?', or 'What will we drink?', or 'What will we put around ourselves?'

    6.32 You see, the non-Jews look for all these things. You see, your Father, the heavenly One, realizes that you need absolutely all these things.

    6.33 Look for the empire of God first and His right way, and all these things will be added to you.

    6.34 So you will not worry for the day tomorrow. You see, the day tomorrow will worry about itself. Its badness is enough for the day."

    Matthew 7

    7.1 "Do not judge so that you will not be judged.

    7.2 You see, with the judgment that you judge, you will be judged, and with the measurement that you measure out, it will be measured out to you.

    7.3 Why do you see the wood chip, the one in the eye of your brother, but the log in your eye you do not take a closer look at?

    7.4 Or how will you state to your brother, 'Leave it. I will take the wood chip out of your eye' and, look, the log is in your eye?

    7.5 Faker, first take the log out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the wood chip out of the eye of your brother.

    7.6 You should not give the sacred thing to the dogs. Neither should you throw your pearls in front of the hogs so that they will not traipse on them with their feet and, after turning around, rip you.

    7.7 Ask and it will be given to you. Look and you will find. Knock and it will be opened to you.

    7.8 You see, everyone who asks receives, the person who looks finds, and to the person who knocks, it will be opened.

    7.9 Or what person is from among you whom his son will ask for bread? He will not give a stone over to him, will he?

    7.10 Or will he also ask for a fish? He will not give a snake over to him, will he?

    7.11 So if you, who are evil, know to be giving good presents to your children, how much more will your Father, the One in the heavens, give good things to the people who ask Him?

    7.12 So everything, however many things that you may want that the people do to you, this is what you also must be doing to them. You see, this is the Law and the Preachers.

    7.13 Go in through the narrow gate because the wide gate and its spacious road is the gate leading off into the ruin, and the people going in through it are many.

    7.14 How narrow is the gate and the road that has gone through hard times (the one leading off into the life), and the people finding it are few.

    7.15 Be cautious of the fraudulent preachers, some who come to you in sheep costumes, but on the inside they are vicious wolves.

    7.16 From their fruits, you will correctly understand them. They do not gather up grape clusters from thorns, or figs from thistles, do they?

    7.17 In this way, every good tree produces nice fruits, but the defective tree produces evil fruits.

    7.18 A good tree is not able to be producing evil fruits. Neither is a defective tree able to be producing nice fruits.

    7.19 Every tree that does not produce nice fruit is chopped out and thrown into a fire.

    7.20 Clearly, from their fruits you will definitely correctly understand them.

    7.21 Not everyone saying to Me, 'Master, Master,' will go into the empire of the heavens, only the person doing what My Father (the One in the heavens) wants.

    7.22 Many will state to Me in that day, 'Master, Master, didn't we preach with Your name, with Your name throw demons out, and with Your name show many abilities?'

    7.23 And at that time, I will acknowledge to them, 'I never ever knew you. Distance yourself away from me, you, the people who work for the crime.'

    7.24 So everyone, any who listen to these My messages and do them will be like a focused man, someone who built his house on the rock.

    7.25 And the rain tumbled down, the rivers came, the winds blew, they fell toward that house, and it did not fall. You see, the foundation had been laid on the rock.

    7.26 And everyone who listens to these My messages and does not do them, he will be like a foolish man, someone who built his house on the sand.

    7.27 And the rain tumbled down, the rivers came, the winds blew, they beat against that house, and it fell. And its fall was huge."

    7.28 And it happened when Jesus finished these messages; the crowds were being impressed based on His teaching.

    7.29 You see, He was teaching them as a person having authority and not as their Old Testament transcribers.

    Matthew 8

    8.1 After He walked down out of the mountain, big crowds followed Him.

    8.2 And look, when a skin-diseased man came forward, he was bowing down to Him, saying, Master, if you want, you are able to clear me up.

    8.3 And when He put out the hand, He touched him, saying, I want to. Be cleared up. And right away his skin disease was cleared up.

    8.4 And Jesus says to him, See, you should say nothing, but go back, show yourself to the priest, and offer the contribution that Moses instructed for a witness to them.

    8.5 When He went into Capernaum, a lieutenant came forward to Him encouraging Him

    8.6 and saying, Master, my servant boy has been bedridden in the house, disabled, being tortured dreadfully.

    8.7 And He says to him, When I come, I will heal him.

    8.8 And when the lieutenant responded, he was declaring, "Master, I am not sufficient that you come in under my roof, but just say a word, and my servant boy will be cured.

    8.9 You see, I also am a person under authority having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, 'Travel,' and he travels; to another, 'Go,' and he goes; and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."

    8.10 When Jesus heard this, He was amazed and said to the people following Him, "Amen, I tell you, I did not find so much trust beside even one person in Israel.

    8.11 I tell you that many will arrive from eastern regions and western regions and recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the empire of the heavens,

    8.12 but the sons of the empire will be thrown out into the darkness, the darkness further out. There will be the crying and the grinding of the teeth there."

    8.13 And Jesus said to the lieutenant, Go back. As you trusted, it must happen to you. And his servant boy was cured in that hour.

    8.14 And when Jesus came into the house of Peter, He saw his mother-in-law who had been bedridden and had a fever.

    8.15 And He touched her hand, the fever left her, and she got up and was serving Him.

    8.16 When it became evening, they brought many people to Him who had demons. And He threw the spirits out with a word and healed all the people who had it bad

    8.17 in order that what was stated through Isaiah, the preacher, in Isaiah 53:4 might be accomplished that says, He took our weaknesses and hauled the illnesses.

    8.18 When Jesus saw a crowd around Him, He gave the order to go off to the other side.

    8.19 And when one Old Testament transcriber came forward, he said to Him, Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go off to.

    8.20 And Jesus says to him, "The foxes have burrows, the winged birds of the sky have roosts, but the Son of the Person does not have a place where He may tilt His head."

    8.21 A different one of His students said to Him, Master, give me permission to first go off and bury my father.

    8.22 But Jesus says to him, "Follow Me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."

    8.23 And when He climbed on board into the boat, His students followed Him.

    8.24 And look, a huge quake happened in the sea in such a way for the boat to be covered by the swells, but He was sleeping.

    8.25 And when they came forward, they got Him up, saying, "Master, rescue us. We are being ruined."

    8.26 And He says to them, "Why are you cowardly, seldom trusting people?" Then after He got up, He forbid the winds and the sea, and there became a huge calm.

    8.27 The people were amazed, saying, "What kind of person is this that even the winds and the sea obey Him?"

    8.28 And after He came to the other side, to the rural area of the Gadarenes, two people who had demons came to meet Him, coming out of the burial vaults, very fierce in such a way for no one to have strength to pass by through that way.

    8.29 And, look, they yelled, saying, "What is there between us and you, Son of God? Did you come here before the appointed time to torture us?"

    8.30 A long way away from them, there was a herd of many hogs grazing.

    8.31 The demons were encouraging Him, saying, If you throw us out, send us out into the herd of the hogs.

    8.32 And He said to them, Go back. When the demons went out, they went off into the hogs. And, look, the entire herd rushed down the steep slope into the sea and died in the water.

    8.33 The people grazing them escaped. And when they went off into the city, they reported everything, even the circumstances of the two with demons.

    8.34 And, look, the entire city came out for an encounter with Jesus. And when they saw Him, they encouraged Him in order that He might walk somewhere else away from their borders.

    Matthew 9

    9.1 And after He climbed on board into a boat, He crossed all the way over and went to His own city.

    9.2 And look, they were bringing to Him a disabled man on a cot who had been bedridden. And when Jesus saw their trust, He said to the disabled man, Be courageous, child. Your sins are forgiven.

    9.3 And look, some of the Old Testament transcribers said among themselves, "This Person is saying hurtful things."

    9.4 And after Jesus saw their contemplations, He said, "Why do you contemplate evil things in your hearts?

    9.5 You see, which is easier to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say 'Get up and traipse around?'

    9.6 But so that you may realize that the Son of the Person has authority on the earth to be forgiving sins...." At that time, He says to the disabled man, After getting up, pick up your cot, and go back to your house.

    9.7 And after getting up, he went off to his house.

    9.8 When the crowds saw it, they were afraid and admitted that God is magnificent, the One who gave this type of authority to the people.

    9.9 And as Jesus passed by from there, He saw a person called Matthew sitting at the tax booth. And He says to him, Follow Me. And after he stood up, he followed Him.

    9.10 And it happened that He was reclining in the house. And look, when many tax collectors and sinful people came, they were reclining together with Jesus and His students.

    9.11 And when the Separatists saw it, they were saying to His students, "Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinful people?"

    9.12 When Jesus heard it, He said, "The people who have strength have no need of a doctor, but the people who have it bad do.

    9.13 After you travel off, learn what Hosea 6:6 is, 'I want forgiving kindness and not sacrifice.' You see, I did not come to invite people who do what is right, but sinful people."

    9.14 At that time, the students of John came to Him, saying, Why do we and the Separatists go without food often, but Your students do not go without food?

    9.15 And Jesus said to them, "The sons of the bride's room are not able to be grieving as long as the groom is with them, are they? But days will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will go without food.

    9.16 No one puts a patch of unprocessed cloth on a worn out robe. You see, what fills it in takes away from the robe, and the split becomes worse.

    9.17 Neither do they put young wine into worn out leather bags. If they do, the leather bags definitely are ripped, the wine is spilled out, and the leather bags are ruined. But they put young wine into new leather bags, and both are preserved."

    9.18 As He was speaking these things to them, look, when one head person came, he was bowing down to Him, saying, My daughter passed away just now, but when You come, place Your hand on her, and she will live.

    9.19 And when Jesus got up, He and His students followed him.

    9.20 And look, when a woman who was bleeding for twelve years came up from behind, she touched the fringe of His robe.

    9.21 You see, she was saying to herself, If only I might touch His robe, I will be rescued.

    9.22 When Jesus turned and saw her, He said, Daughter, be courageous, your trust has rescued you, and the woman was rescued from that hour.

    9.23 And when Jesus came into the house of the head person and saw the flute players and the crowd being disruptive,

    9.24 He was saying, Get back. You see, the girl did not die, but she is sleeping. And they were laughing at Him.

    9.25 After the crowd was thrown out, when He went in, He took hold of her hand, and the girl got up.

    9.26 And the comments about her went out into all of that land.

    9.27 And as Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed Him, yelling and saying, Show forgiving kindness to us, son of David.

    9.28 After He came into the house, the blind men came forward to Him, and Jesus says to them, Do you trust that I am able to do this? They say to Him, Yes, Master.

    9.29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, It must happen to you according to your trust.

    9.30 And their eyes were opened, and Jesus was stern with them, saying, Look. No one must know.

    9.31 After the blind men went out, they frequently commented about Him in all of that land.

    9.32 As they were going out, look, they brought to Him a speech-impaired person who had a demon.

    9.33 And when the demon was thrown out, the speech-impaired person spoke, and the crowds were amazed, saying, "Something like this never ever appeared in Israel."

    9.34 But the Separatists were saying, He throws the demons out by the head of the demons.

    9.35 And Jesus led them around to all the cities and the villages teaching in their synagogues, speaking publicly about the good news of the empire, and healing every illness and every frailty.

    9.36 When He saw the crowds, He had sympathy concerning them because they were people who had been skinned up and tossed as if they were sheep that don't have a shepherd.

    9.37 At that time, He says to His students, "The harvest certainly is big, but the workers are few.

    9.38 So plead with the master of the harvest in order that he might put workers out into his harvest."

    Matthew 10

    10.1 And when He called for His twelve students, He gave them authority over spirits that are not clean in such a way to be throwing them out and to be healing every illness and every frailty.

    10.2 These are the names of the twelve missionaries: first, Simon (the one called Peter), Andrew (his brother), James (the son of Zebedee), and John (his brother);

    10.3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew (the tax collector); James (the son of Alpheus) and Thaddeus;

    10.4 Simon (the Kananean - Aramaic for Zealot) and Judas (the Iscariot, the one who also turned Him in).

    10.5 Jesus sent these twelve out on a mission after He passed the order on to them, saying, "You will not go off to a road of non-Jews, and you will not go into a city of Samaritans.

    10.6 But instead travel to the sheep of Israel's house, the ones that have been lost.

    10.7 As you travel, speak publicly, saying, 'The empire of the heavens has come near.'

    10.8 Heal people who are weak. Get the dead up. Clear up skin-diseased people. Throw demons out. You received for free, give for free.

    10.9 You will not get gold, nor silver, nor copper for your sashes,

    10.10 not a tote bag for the way, nor two long undershirts, nor sandals, nor a staff. You see, the worker is deserving of his meal.

    10.11 Into whatever city or village you might go, question who in it is deserving, and stay there until you go out.

    10.12 As you go into the house, say hello to it.

    10.13 And if the house is certainly deserving, your peace must come on it. But if it is not deserving, your peace must be returned back to you.

    10.14 And whoever does not accept you, nor hear your messages, as you go outside of the house or that city, shake the dust of your feet off.

    10.15 Amen, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in a day of judgment than for that city.

    10.16 Look, I am sending you out on a mission as sheep in the middle of wolves. So become focused as the snakes and unpolluted as the doves.

    10.17 Be cautious of the people. You see, they will turn you into councils and in their synagogues whip you.

    10.18 You will also be led before leaders and kings on account of Me for a witness to them and the non-Jews.

    10.19 When they turn you in, do not worry how or what you should speak. You see, it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak;

    10.20 for you are not the ones speaking, but the Spirit of your Father is the One speaking in you.

    10.21 A brother will turn a brother in for death, and a father will turn a child in. And children will stand up on parents and will put them to death.

    10.22 And you will be hated by all kinds of people because of My name, but the person who persists to do what is right to the conclusion, this person will be rescued.

    10.23 When they pursue you in this city, escape to the different city. You see, amen, I tell you, you will not in any way finish the cities of Israel until the Son of the Person comes.

    10.24 A student is not over the teacher. Neither is a slave over his master.

    10.25 It is enough for the student that he might become as his teacher and the slave as his master. If they also called the homeowner Beelzebub, how much more the people in His house.

    10.26 So don't fear them. You see, there is nothing having been covered up that will not be uncovered, and hidden that will not be known.

    10.27 What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear in the ear speak publicly on the housetops.

    10.28 And do not be afraid from the people who kill the body, but the soul they are not able to kill. Instead fear the One who is able to ruin both soul and body in Hinnom Valley.

    10.29 Are not two little sparrows sold for an assarius ($2)? And one from them will not fall on the earth devoid of your Father.

    10.30 Even the hairs of your head are all hairs that have been numbered.

    10.31 So do not be afraid, you are more substantial than many little sparrows.

    10.32 So everyone, any who will acknowledge being in Me in front of the people, I will also acknowledge being in him in front of My Father, the One in the heavens.

    10.33 But whoever denies Me in front of the people, I will also deny him in front of My Father, the One in the heavens.

    10.34 Do not assume that I came to put peace on the earth. I did not come to put peace, but a knife.

    10.35 You see, I came to disunite a person against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a bride against her mother-in-law.

    10.36 And the person's enemies are the people in his house.

    10.37 The person who is fond of a father or mother over Me is not deserving of Me, and the person who is fond of a son or daughter over Me is not deserving of Me.

    10.38 And a person who does not take his cross and follow behind Me is not deserving of Me.

    10.39 The person who finds his soul will lose it, and the person who loses his soul on account of Me will find it.

    10.40 The person who accepts you accepts Me, and the person who accepts Me accepts the One who sent Me out on a mission.

    10.41 The person who accepts a preacher for the name of a preacher will receive a preacher's pay. And the person who accepts a person who does what is right for the name of a person who does what is right will receive the pay of a person who does what is right.

    10.42 And whoever gives one of these little ones a cup of cold drink to drink just for the name of a student, amen, I tell you, he will not in any way lose his pay."

    Matthew 11

    11.1 And it happened when Jesus finished specifically assigning His twelve students; He walked somewhere else away from there for the to be teaching and to be speaking publicly in their cities part.

    11.2 In the prison, when John heard about the actions of the Anointed King, after sending a message through his students,

    11.3 he said to Him, "Are you the One coming or should we expect a different One."

    11.4 And when Jesus answered, He said to them, "After you travel back, report to John things that you hear and see.

    11.5 Blind people see again, and crippled people traipse around. Skin-diseased people are cleared up, hearing-impaired people hear, dead people are gotten up, and poor people are told good news.

    11.6 And whoever is not tripped up by Me is blessed."

    11.7 As these students traveled off, Jesus began to be saying to the crowds about John, "What did you go out into the backcountry to view, a stick disturbed by wind?

    11.8 But what did you go out to see, a person who had been dressed in elegant clothes? Look, the people wearing the elegant clothes are in the houses of the kings.

    11.9 But what did you go out to see, a preacher? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a preacher.

    11.10 This is the person about whom it has been written in Malachi 3:1, 'Look, I am sending My announcer out on a mission before Your face who will design Your road in front of You.'

    11.11 Amen, I tell you, among the people born of women, there has not risen a person greater than John the Submerger. But the person who is littler in the empire of the heavens is greater than him.

    11.12 From the days of John the Submerger until now, the empire of the heavens is forced, and forceful people snatch it.

    11.13 You see, all the Preachers and the Law preached until John.

    11.14 And if you want to accept it, he is Elijah, the one who is going to be coming.

    11.15 The person who has ears must listen.

    11.16 What will I liken this generation to? It is like young children sitting in the marketplaces who are hollering to the different children,

    11.17 saying, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance. We wailed, and you did not beat your chests in grief.'

    11.18 You see, John came neither eating, nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.'

    11.19 The Son of the Person came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a person, an excessive eater and a wine drinker, a friend of tax collectors and sinful people.' And the insight was made right from its actions."

    11.20 At that time, He began to be insulting the cities in which most of His
