Matthew 26:30-35 30 After singing the Hallel (Psalms of Praise sung during Passover), they went out to the Mount of Olives. 31 Yeshua then said to them, “Tonight you will all lose faith in me, as the Tanakh (Bible) says,‘I will strike the shepherd dead, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32 But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you into the Galil.” 33 “I will never lose faith in you,” Kefa answered, “even if everyone else does.” 34 Yeshua said to him, “

Matthew 22:33-40 33 When the crowds heard how he taught, they were astounded; 34 but when the P’rushim (Pharisees) learned that he had silenced the Tz’dukim (Sadducees), they got together, 35 and one of them who was a Torah expert asked a sh’eilah (question) to trap him: 36 “Rabbi, which of the mitzvot (commands) in the Torah is the most important?” 37 He told him, “‘You are to love Adonai your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.’ 38 Thi

Matthew 14:13-21 13 On hearing about this, Yeshua left in a boat to be by himself in the wilderness. But the people learned of it and followed him from the towns by land. 14 So when he came ashore, he saw a huge crowd; and, filled with compassion for them, he healed those of them who were sick. 15 As evening approached, the talmidim (disciples/students) came to him and said, “This is a remote place and it’s getting late. Send the crowds away, so that they can go and buy food

Matthew 11:1-6 After Yeshua had finished instructing the twelve talmidim, he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns nearby. 2 Meanwhile, Yochanan the Immerser (John the Baptist), who had been put in prison, heard what the Messiah had been doing; so he sent a message to him through his talmidim, 3 asking, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for someone else?” 4 Yeshua answered, “Go and tell Yochanan what you are hearing and seeing — 5 the blind are

Matthew 10:34-39 34 “Don’t suppose that I have come to bring peace to the Land. It is not peace I have come to bring, but a sword! 35 For I have come to set 36 a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, so that a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. 37 Whoever loves his father or mother more than he loves me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than he loves me is not worth

Matthew 9:9-13 9 As Yeshua passed on from there he spotted a tax-collector named Mattityahu sitting in his collection booth. He said to him, “Follow me!” and he got up and followed him. 10 While Yeshua was in the house eating, many tax-collectors and sinners came and joined him and his talmidim (disciples) at the meal. 11 When the P’rushim (Pharisees) saw this, they said to his talmidim, “Why does your rabbi eat with tax-collectors and sinners?” 12 But Yeshua heard the questi

Matthew 7:12 12 “Always treat others as you would like them to treat you; that sums up the teaching of the Torah and the Prophets. I should have tied this verse in yesterday, and it doesn't fit with the next section. In my mind, that means that this one is by itself today and is the one and only simple thought for the day. We teach our children this concept, and yet, we must stop and ask ourselves, "Do we follow this teaching?" Do we really treat others the way we would like

Matthew 7:1-5 7 “Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged.2 For the way you judge others is how you will be judged — the measure with which you measure out will be used to measure to you.3 Why do you see the splinter in your brother’s eye but not notice the log in your own eye?4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter out of your eye,’ when you have the log in your own eye?5 You hypocrite! First, take the log out of your own eye; then you will see clearly,

Matthew 6:19-24 19 “Do not store up for yourselves wealth here on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and burglars break in and steal.20 Instead, store up for yourselves wealth in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and burglars do not break in or steal.21 For where your wealth is, there your heart will be also.22 ‘The eye is the lamp of the body.’ So if you have a ‘good eye’ [that is, if you are generous] your whole body will be full of light;23 but if you have an

Matthew 5:43-48 43 “You have heard that our fathers were told, ‘Love your neighbor — and hate your enemy.’44 But I tell you, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!45 Then you will become children of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun shine on good and bad people alike, and he sends rain to the righteous and the unrighteous alike.46 What reward do you get if you love only those who love you? Why, even tax-collectors do that!47 And if you are friendly onl
