PART 17 A
ENTRY INTO YERUSHALAYIM
When Yeshua came near Yerushalayim to Beit-Phagey, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples, telling them to: "Go into the nearby village and as you are entering you will find a donkey and her colt tied there, which has never been sat on. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone asks you, 'Why did you untie them?' you are to tell them, 'Because YHVH needs them.'" This all was done so the scripture might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, "Tell the daughter of Tzyon, 'Look, your King comes to you humble and riding on a donkey and upon a colt, the foal of the donkey.'" The disciples went and found them just as Yeshua had described. As they were untying the animals, the owners of them asked, "Why do you untie them?" “YHVH needs them," they answered. So they brought the donkey and colt to Yeshua and put their tallits [prayer shawls] upon them. Then Yeshua sat on them. As He rode, a large crowd of people spread their tallits on the path and others cut branches from the trees and put them on the path. When Yeshua came near to the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to celebrate and loudly praise Elohim for all the mighty works which they had seen. They cried out, "Hoshanna Ben David [Save us son of David]! Baruch Melech haba b'hashem Adonai [Blessed is the King who comes in the Name of YHVH]! Shalom b'shamayim v'kavod l'ha'Elyon [Peace in Heaven and glory to the Most High]”. Some of the P'rushim in the crowd said to Yeshua, "Rabbi, rebuke your disciples." "I tell you," He warned, "that if these kept quiet, the stones would immediately cry out." {This all happened on the 10th of Abib/Nisan, when Yisrael was commanded that each household was to take a lamb into their home in preparation for Pesach. Therefore, Yeshua came to Yerushalayim to be the received Lamb.} When He was very near; He beheld the city and wept over it, saying, "This is your day. If you had only known what would bring you peace! Now they are hidden from your eyes. For the days will come to you that your enemies will bring a siege against you and circle around you and hem you in on every side. They will pull you down to the ground and your children within you and they will not leave one of your stones stacked on another, because you did not know the time of your visitation." Yeshua entered into Yerushalayim and into the Mikdash [Holy Temple]. The entire city was excited, saying, "Who is this?" Many people answered, "This is the Prophet Yeshua, from Natzeret in the Galil." Yeshua looked around at everything. Afterward it was evening, so He went out to Beit-Ani again with the twelve. {This closed the first day in Yerushalayim.}
FIG TREE CURSED
The next day, as they returned from Beit-Ani, He was hungry. Seeing a fig tree with leaves far away, He came to it seeking to find fruit on it. But when He arrived He found nothing but leaves, for it was not yet time for figs. "No one will eat fruit from you from now on, forever," Yeshua said, speaking to the tree and His disciples overheard it.
SECOND CLEANSING OF THE MIKDASH
After entering Yerushalayim, Yeshua went into the Mikdash and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the Mikdash. He turned over the tables of those who exchanged money along with the seats of those who sold doves. He would not allow any man to carry a vessel through the Mikdash. Then He began to teach them, "Isn't it written, 'My house will be called by all the nations the Beit Tephillah [House of Prayer]? But you have turned it into a den of thieves." The blind and the lame came to Yeshua in the Mikdash and He healed them. When some chief Kohenim and Soferim saw the wonderful things He did and the children crying in the Mikdash, "Hoshanna Ben David [Save us son of David]!" they were extremely displeased. They said to Him, "Do you hear what they are speaking?” "Yes," Yeshua answered. "Haven't you ever read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and infants You have perfected praise?'" These Soferim and chief Kohenim and other principle men of the city sought for a way to destroy Him. But, they could not figure out a way, because all the people were amazed at His teachings and crowded around Him and they feared Him. When evening came He left the city and went out to Beit-Ani again and lodged there. {This closed the second day in Yerushalayim.}
FIG TREE SHRIVELED
In the morning, as they walked the same path {to Yerushalayim}, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. Kefa remembering what He had done said, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away." "Trust in Elohim," Yeshua said. "Amen! I tell you, whoever will say to this mountain, 'Move from here and be thrown into the sea' and will not doubt in his heart, but will trust that those things he speaks will happen; he will have whatever he speaks. Therefore, I tell you, whatever you seek when you pray {in the way I have taught you to pray} trust that you will receive and you will receive. But when you stand praying, {you must} forgive if you have anything against anyone. Through this your Father in Heaven can forgive you your trespasses. However, if you do not forgive, your Father in Heaven will not forgive your trespasses."
YESHUA'S AUTHORITY CHALLENGED
They came to Yerushalayim again and as He was walking in the Mikdash, chief Kohanim, Soferim and Zakenim asked Him, "By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?" "I will ask you one question first," Yeshua said. "Answer Me and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. The mikveh of Yochanan, was it from Heaven or from mankind? Answer me." They reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we say 'from Heaven,' He will say, 'why then did you not trust him?' But if we say 'from mankind,' well, the people do not accept this." They feared the people, for all counted Yochanan was a surely a prophet. So they answered Yeshua, "We cannot tell." "Then neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things." said Yeshua.
WARNINGS NOT TO REJECT HIM
He began to speak to them in parables. "A man had two sons. He came to the first and said, 'Son, go work in my vineyard today.' The son answered, 'I will not,' but afterward he did t'shuvah, then he went. The man came to the second son and said the same thing. The second son answered and said, 'I will go, adon,' but he didn't. Which of the two did the will of his father?" They answered, "The first one." Yeshua said to them, "Amen! I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes will go into the Kingdom of Elohim before you. For Yochanan came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not trust him. Yet, the tax collectors and the prostitutes trusted him. But when you saw {my miraculous deeds}, you did not do t'shuvah and afterward show your trust in him. A man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it. He dug a place for the wine to flow and built a tower. He rented it out to farmers and then went into a far country. At the season he sent to the farmers a servant, in order to receive the fruit of the vineyard from the farmers. But the farmers arrested him and beat him up, then sent him away without anything. So again the owner sent them another servant. The farmers threw stones at him and wounded him in the head, then sent him away in shame. Again the owner sent a servant and they killed him. Again and again he sent them, but they beat up some and killed some. The owner had one son, his well beloved, so he sent him as the last resort to them, thinking, 'They will reverence my son.' But the farmers said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and then the inheritance will be ours.' They took him and killed him, then threw him out of the vineyard. Therefore, what will the adon of that vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers and will give the vineyard to others. Have you never read this scripture? 'The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This is performed by YHVH and it is wonderful in our eyes?'" Then they sought to arrest Yeshua, for they knew He had spoken the parable against them. But, they feared the people, so they left Him.
PART 16 B
PARABLE ON AGREEMENT OF WAGES
"The Kingdom of Heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard. He agreed to pay them a set amount for the day and sent them into his vineyard. About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. So he told them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard and I will pay you whatever is right.' Then they went to work. The landowner went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing. About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, 'Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?' 'Because no one has hired us,' they answered. 'He said to them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard.' When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.' The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each were paid the set amount. When those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also was paid the set amount. When they received it, they began to complain against the landowner. 'These men who were hired last worked only one hour,' they said 'and you have made them equal to us who have carried the burden of the work and the heat of the day.' The landowner answered one of them, 'Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn't you agree to work for the set amount? Take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Are you envious because I am being generous?' So the last will be first and the first will be last."
YESHUA FORETELLS EXECUTION
Yeshua continued going up to Yerushalayim. He took the twelve disciples aside and said to them, "We are going up to Yerushalayim and everything that the prophets wrote about happening to Me will happen. The Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief Kohanim and Soferim. They will condemn Him to die, but will turn Him over to the Gentiles to be mocked, shamed, spit on, flogged and executed. Yet, after the third day He will be raised to life!" But they did not fully comprehend any of the things He said. They were amazed and afraid, because the meaning was hidden from them.
AMBITION OF YA'AKOV AND YOCHANAN
Then the mother of Zavdai's sons came to Yeshua with her sons {Ya'akov and Yochanan} and, kneeling down, asked Him a favour. "What is it you want?" He asked. She said, "Grant to me that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your Kingdom." "You don't know what you are asking," Yeshua said turning to them. "Can you drink the cup I am going to drink? Or be immersed in the mikveh I am immersed in?" "We can," they answered. Yeshua said to them, "You will surely drink from My cup, but to sit at My right or left is not for Me to give. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by Avi." When the ten {other Shaliachim} heard about this, they were infuriated with the two brothers. So, Yeshua called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles govern over them and their high officials exercise authority over them. That will not be the situation with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant and whoever wants to be first must be your slave; in the same way as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to offer up His life as a ransom for many."
BLIND MEN NEAR YERICO
As Yeshua and His disciples were coming to Yericho, a large crowd followed Him. Two blind men were sitting by the roadside and when they heard that Yeshua was going by, they shouted, "Adonai, Son of David, have mercy on us!" The crowd rebuffed them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted even louder, "Adonai, Son of David, have mercy on us!" Yeshua stopped and called them. "What do you want Me to do for you?" He asked. "Adonai," they answered, "we want our sight." Yeshua had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately their sight was healed and they followed Him.
VISIT TO ZAKKAI'S HOUSE
They entered and passed through Yericho. There was a man there named Zakkai, who was the head of the tax collectors and rich. He sought to see Yeshua and who He was and couldn't because there was a crowd and he was short in height. So Zakkai ran in front and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Yeshua, because He was headed that way. When Yeshua came to the place, He looked up and saw Zakkai and said to him, "Zakkai, hurry down from there, because today I must lodge at your house." Zakkai hurried down and joyfully accepted Him. When they saw it many murmured, "He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner." {At dinner} Zakkai stood and said to Adonai, "Look Adonai! Half of my goods I will give to the poor and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I will restore it four times over." Yeshua said to him, "This day Salvation [Yeshua] has come to this house, since Zakkai also is a son of Avraham. For the Son of man has come to seek out and save those which were lost."
PARABLE OF TEN FUNDS
Yeshua then spoke this parable, because He was nearing Yerushalayim and because they thought that the Kingdom of Elohim would soon appear. "A nobleman went into a far country to receive a kingdom to himself and then return. He called his ten servants, then handed them ten funds and said, 'Be busy trading until I come back.' But his citizens hated him and sent out a message after he left which said, 'We will not have this one to rule over us.' When the nobleman returned after having received the kingdom, he commanded the ten servants to whom he had given the funds to be brought to him, so he could find out how much every man had gained by trading. The first came and said, 'Adonai, your fund has increased ten times.' So the nobleman said to him, 'Well done good servant! Because you have been trustworthy in very little, take your authority over ten cities.' The second servant came and said, 'Adonai, your fund has increased five times.' In the same way the nobleman said, 'You take charge over five cities.' Then another one came and said, 'Adonai, look. I have your fund for you which I have kept secure in this cloth. I feared you because you are a man to be feared. You take what you did not lay down and harvest what you did not sow.' The nobleman said, 'Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I was a man to be feared, taking what I did not lay down and harvesting what I did not sow. Why didn't you give my fund to the bank, so that at my coming I could have required my own with along with interest?' So the nobleman said to those standing by, 'Take the fund from him and give it to the servant who has ten times the amount. For I tell you, that everyone who has will be given more and the one who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away from him. And, those enemies of mine, who did not want me to rule over them, bring them here and execute them in front of me." When he had spoken this Yeshua continued to travel, ascending up to Yerushalayim.
YESHUA ANOINTED AS PESACH LAMB
The observance of the holy feast of Pesach was near and many went from the country up to Yerushalayim before Pesach, to purify themselves. Many sought for Yeshua and spoke among themselves, as they stood in the Mikdash, "What do you think? Will He come to the feast or not?” Both the chief Kohanim and some P'rushim had given an instruction, that anyone knowing where Yeshua was should declare it, so that they could arrest Him. Six days before Pesach Yeshua came again to Beit-Ani, to the house of Eliezer Ben Shimon the leper, who had been dead and then raised from the dead by Yeshua. There they made Him a supper and Marta served. Eliezer was one of those who sat at the table with Him. Then Miryam took an alabaster container of ointment, a very expensive perfume and anointed the head and the feet of Yeshua. She wiped His feet with her hair and the house was filled with the aroma of the ointment. One of Yeshua's disciples, Yehudah Kir'yot Ben Shimon, who would betray Him, asked, "Why wasn't this ointment sold for three hundred coins and given to the poor?" He did not say this because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and carried the treasury bag and he was responsible for what was in it. Other disciples also complained against her. "Let her alone and do not worry her," Yeshua instructed. "She reserved this for the time of My burial. Because the poor will always be with you and you can do good to them whenever you want, but you do not always have Me here. She has done what she could and I tell you, wherever good news is proclaimed throughout the world, what she has done will be spoken as a memorial to her." Many of the Yehudim found out Yeshua was there and came, not to see Yeshua only, but also to see Eliezer, whom He had raised from the dead. The chief Kohanim consulted on how they could execute Eliezer also. Because of him many of the Yehudim did not follow the leaders, but trusted in Yeshua instead.
PART 16 A
TEN LEPERS
While Yeshua was continuing to Yerushalayim He passed through the Galil and Shomron. As He entered a village ten men who were lepers met Him, but they stood far away. They loudly entreated Him "Yeshua, Rabbi, have mercy on us." "Go show yourselves to the Kohanim." He said. {For this is commanded in the Torah for lepers to do to be clean.} As they departed they were cleansed. When one of them, a man of Shomron, noticed he was healed he turned back to Yeshua. Falling down on his face at Yeshua's feet, he loudly glorified Elohim and thanked Yeshua. "Weren't there ten cleansed? So where are the other nine?" Yeshua asked him. "You are a stranger, yet the only one who returned to give glory to Elohim. Arise and go on your way. Your trust has made you completely whole."
LOOKING FOR THE KINGDOM
Yeshua requested the P'rushim {that were with Him} to tell Him when the Kingdom of Elohim was coming. Then He said to them, "The Kingdom of Elohim will not come by physical observation. No one will say, 'Look here!' or 'Look there!' Notice this: the Kingdom of Elohim is within you." Then He spoke to all the disciples, "The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, but you will not see one. Some will tell you to, 'Look here!' or 'Look there!' Don't go to them or follow {their instruction}. Just like the lightning which lights up one part of the sky and shines to the other part of the sky, so will the Son of man be in His day. But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. As it was in the days of Noach, so it will be in the days of the Son of man. They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given away in marriage, all until the very day which Noach entered into the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. It was also the same in the days of Lot. They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted and they built. But the same day that Lot left Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. This is the way it is going to be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. In that day, when a person is on the roof and his stuff is in the house, he should not come down to take it away and the person who is in the field should not return back to his house. Remember Lot's wife. Whoever will try to save his life will lose it and whoever will lose his life will preserve it. I tell you, on that night there will be two people asleep in one bed. One will be taken and the other will be left. Two people will be working together. One will be taken and the other left. Two people will be in the field. One will be taken and the other left." Then they asked Him, "Where, Adonai?" "Wherever the body is, there is where the eagles will be gathered together." Yeshua answered.
KINGDOM JUSTICE
So, He spoke a parable to them that people should always pray with patience. "There was in a city a judge who did not fear Elohim nor answer to anyone. There was also a widow in that city and she came to the judge and implored him, 'Give me justice against my adversary.' But for awhile he wouldn't respond. Eventually he thought, 'Though I do not fear Elohim nor answer to anyone, yet because this widow troubles me, I will give her justice or else she will make me weary by continually coming to me. Hear what this unrighteous judge said! Won't Elohim give justice to His own chosen ones who cry to Him day and night, though along with them He waits a long time? I tell you, He will give them swift justice. However, when the Son of man comes again, will He find faithfulness on the earth?”
PARABLE OF DOING T'SHUVAH
Yeshua spoke this parable to certain ones who trusted in their own righteousness and despised others. "Two men went up to the Mikdash to pray. One was a P'rush and the other one was a tax collector. The P'rush stood and prayed silently this way, 'Elohim, I thank you that I am not as other men who are extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers or even as this tax collector. I fast twice every week and I give tithes of all I possess.' But the tax collector, standing far away, would not even raise his eyes toward heaven. Instead, he beat his chest, saying, 'Elohim be merciful to me, a sinner.' I tell you, this man went down to his house more justified than the other. Because everyone who lifts up himself will be lowered, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."
CONTROVERSY OF DIVORCE
Some P'rushim came to Yeshua to test Him. They asked, "Is it proper in Torah for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?" "Haven't you read," He replied, "that at the beginning the Creator made them male and female and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore, what Elohim has joined together, no one should separate." "Why then," they asked, "did Moshe command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce {a get} and send her away?" Yeshua replied, "Moshe permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not originally this way. I tell you, whoever divorces his wife, except for infidelity and then marries another woman, commit adultery." "If this is what happens between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry," the disciples commented. Yeshua replied, "Not everyone can accept that instruction, but only those to whom it has been given. Some do not marry because they were born that way, others were made that way by men and still others have renounced marriage for purposes of the Kingdom of Heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."
BLESSING ON LITTLE CHILDREN
Then some little children were brought to Yeshua for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples turned away those who brought them. Yeshua said, "Let the little children come to Me and do not keep them away, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these." When He had placed His hands on them He went on from there.
SADNESS OF WEALTH
A man came up to Yeshua and asked, "Teacher, what good thing should I do to obtain eternal life?" "Why do you ask Me concerning what is good?" Yeshua replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter {eternal} life, obey the commandments." "Which ones?" the man inquired. Yeshua replied, "Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honour your father and mother and love your neighbour as yourself." "I have obeyed everyone one of those," the young man said. "Why am I still lacking?" Yeshua answered, "If you want to be fully mature, leave now and sell your possessions, then give to the poor. You will have treasure in Heaven. Then come follow Me." When the young man heard this he left with sadness, because he had a lot of wealth. Then Yeshua said to his disciples, "I tell you, remember this: it is hard for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Also, I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Elohim." When the disciples heard this they were greatly amazed and asked, "Then who can be saved?" Yeshua looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with Elohim all things are possible." "We have left everything to follow you!" Kefa said. "What will there be for us then?" Yeshua said, "I tell you, remember this: at the full restoration of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Yisrael. Every one of you who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for My sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. However, many who are first will be last and many who are last will be first."
Thought for Today: Monday March 24
Yeshua wants to be part of every moment of our lives and of every experience we go through. He went to weddings, dined with sinners, wept with the heart-broken, rejoiced with those who rejoiced and He is waiting on you to invite Him into your home and your life.

[Verse 1]
Father YAH, I come to thee,
For by thy Son dost thou free me.
In His Body, bound as one,
Accountability begun.
[Verse 2]
In thy abundant generosity
by his blood be cleansing me.
Wash from me all treachery,
all that displeaseth thee.

With Holy Spirit, fill us whole,
Guide us on the path of soul.
To life eternal, lead the way,
This fervent plea, I humbly pray.
[Verse 3]
In frailty, grant me strength divine,
Thy Spirit's might, within me shine.
To forge salvation's path with care,
In reverent awe, this cross I bear.
Instill in me both will and deed,
To please Thine eyes, my highest meed.
[Verse 4]
For mindful love, I laud Thee, Lord,
Ignite my heart with love's accord.
All things Thou weav'st for righteous end,
For those Thy sovereign will commend.
For things Thy sovereign will commend.
[Chorus]
With Holy Spirit, fill us whole,
Guide us on the path of soul.
To life eternal, lead the way,
This fervent plea, I humbly pray.
[Verse 5]
Though prayer eludes my mortal mind,
Thy Spirit's voice, my words refined.
Let heavenly intercession rise,
Aligned with Thy will, pure and wise.

Let me be believing
thy will is becoming.
I took it for me.
For me it shall be.
