PART 21 B

APPEARANCE BY LAKE KINNERET

Yeshua revealed Himself to the disciples again at Tiberias, close to Lake {Kinneret}. Together there were Shimon Kefa, T’oma the twin, Nathan-El of Kana in the Galil, Zavdai's sons (Ya'akov and Yochanan} and two of His other disciples. Shimon Kefa said, "I am going fishing." They all said, "We will go with you." They went immediately and entered a ship. They caught nothing that night. When morning came,
Yeshua stood on the shore, but the disciples did not recognize it was Yeshua. Then Yeshua said to them, "Children, do you have any fish?" "No," they said. "Throw the net over on the right side of the boat and you will find some." He said. They did it and suddenly they were not able to pull it in because of the abundance of fish. The disciple whom Yeshua loved {Yochanan} said to Kefa, "It is Adonai!" When Shimon Kefa heard that it was Adonai, he put on his fishing jacket, because he was unclothed and threw himself into the water. The other disciples came in the boat dragging the net with the fishes. They were not far from shore, only about 200 cubits. As soon as they arrived on shore they saw a fire of coals there, with fish cooking on it and bread. Yeshua said to them, "Bring of the fish that you caught." Shimon Kefa pulled the net to shore full of a hundred-fifty-three large fish. Even with so many, the net was not broken.
Yeshua said to them, "Come! Eat!" None of the disciples dared ask Him, "Who are you?" Knowing that He was Adonai. Then Yeshua took the bread and the fish and gave it to them. This was the third time that Yeshua showed Himself to His disciples after He arose from the dead. So when they had eaten, Yeshua said to Shimon Kefa, "Shimon, son of Yonah, do you love Me more than this?” {Yeshua spoke of fishing.} Kefa said, "Yes Adonai. You know that I care for You." Yeshua said to him "Feed My lambs." A second time Yeshua said to Kefa, "Shimon, son of Yonah, do you love Me?" "Yes, Adonai," Kefa answered. "You know that I care for you." "Feed my sheep," Yeshua said. A third time Yeshua asked him, "Shimon, son of Yonah, do you care for Me?" Kefa was grieved because Yeshua asked him the third time, "Do you care for Me?" So he said to Yeshua, "Adonai, you know all things. You know that I care for you." "Feed my sheep," Yeshua said. "Amen, amen! I tell you, when you were young, you clothed yourself and walked wherever you wanted, but when you get old, you will stretch out your hands and another will clothe you and carry where you do not want to go." Yeshua spoke this to signify what kind of death Kefa would endure to glorify Elohim. "Follow me." Yeshua said. Then Kefa turning around saw the disciple whom Yeshua loved {Yochanan} following along with them. He is also the one who leaned on Yeshua during the Seder and said "Adonai, who is the one who betrayed you?" When Kefa saw him {Yochanan}, he said, "Adonai, what about this man?" "If I desire for him to live until I come, why should you worry?" Yeshua answered. "You follow Me." Therefore, the rumour was broadcast among the brothers, that that disciple {Yochanan} would not die. But Yeshua did not say, "He shall not die."

APPEARANCE ON A MOUNTAIN IN THE GALIL

Then the eleven disciples went farther {north} into the Galil, up into a mountain where Yeshua had appointed them to go. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, yet some still had doubts. Then, Yeshua spoke to them, "All authority is Mine in Heaven and in Earth. Go then and teach all nations, preaching the good news to everyone and performing mikveh for them in the Name of Abba, HaBen and Ruach HaKodesh. The one who trusts Me and obeys the mikveh will be saved, but the one who doubts will be condemned. Teach them to observe everything I have ever commanded you. Signs will follow those who trust in My Name. {Such as} some will have deceiving spirits removed. Some will speak with new languages. Some will have serpents discharged. And some may happen to drink poison, but it will not harm them. Look, watch! I am with you all the time until the end of the world."

ASCENSION

"I spoke to you the things while I was with you, so that all things concerning Me written in the Torah of Moshe, the Prophets and the Psalms, would be completed. Therefore, it is written, that it was necessary for Moshiach to suffer, die and to rise from the dead the third day. That t'shuvah and removal of sins would be preached in His Name among all nations, beginning at Yerushalayim. You are witnesses of these things. Now watch! I send the promise of Avi upon you. But wait in the city of Yerushalayim until you are endowed with authority from on high." They asked Him, "Adonai, will You at this time restore the Kingdom to Yisrael?" He said, "It is not for you to know the times or the seasons which Abba has put in His own power. But you will receive authority after Ruach HaKodesh comes on you and you will be My witnesses both in Yerushalayim, in all Yehudah, in Shomron and to the farthest reaches of the Earth." Yeshua led them all the way to Beit-Ani, to the Mount of Olives. Then He lifted His hands and blessed them. While He blessed them, He departed from them by ascending up in a cloud into the heavens out of their sight. (He sat down at the right hand of Elohim.) While intently looking toward Heaven as He went up they worshiped Him. Then suddenly, two men stood by them in white garments, who said, "You men of the Galil, why do you stand gazing up into the heavens? This Yeshua, the same One who has ascended from you into Heaven, He will come back in a like manner as you have seen Him go into Heaven." They returned to Yerushalayim from the Mount of Olives with much celebration. Continually they were in the Mikdash praising and blessing Elohim.

CONCLUSION

Yeshua performed many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book. These have been written, so you can trust that Yeshua is Moshiach, the Son of Elohim and that in trusting you might have {eternal} life through His Name. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with Elohim and the Word was Elohim. The same was in the beginning with Elohim. All things were created by Him. Nothing in all of creation was created without Him. In Him is life and the life is the Light for men. The Light shone in the darkness and the darkness could not overcome it. He is the Light of Remembrance, who Lights every man who comes into the world. He was in the world and the world was created by Him, but the world did not know Him. He came to His own {possession} and His own {possession} did not accept Him. But to those who accepted Him, He gave the authority to become the sons of Elohim; to all those who trust in His Name. These are not born to Him by blood, nor by the will of the flesh, nor by the will of man, but by Elohim. The Word was made flesh and tabernacle among us. We looked on His glory, the glory of the only issue of Abba, fully enabled and the Remembrance.
