1 As YAHUSHA stood beside Lake Galilee, a crowd of people pushed to get closer to Him and to hear the teachings of Alahim. 2 YAHUSHA saw two boats at the shore of the lake. The fishermen were washing their nets. 3 YAHUSHA got into the boat that belonged to Simon. He asked Simon to push off a little from the shore. Then He sat down in the boat and taught the people on the shore.
4 When YAHUSHA finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Take the boat into the deep water. If all of you will put your nets into the water, you will catch some fish.” 5 Simon answered, “Master, we worked hard all night trying to catch fish and caught nothing. But You say I should put the nets into the water, so I will.” 6 The fishermen put their nets into the water. Their nets were filled with so many fish that they began to break. 7 They called to their friends in the other boat to come and help them. The friends came, and both boats were filled so full of fish that they were almost sinking. 8-9 The fishermen were all amazed at the many fish they caught. When Simon Peter saw this, he bowed down before YAHUSHA and said, “Go away from me, Master. I am a sinful man!” 10 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, were amazed too. (James and John worked together with Simon.) YAHUSHA said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid. From now on your work will be to bring in people, not fish!” 11 The men brought their boats to the shore. They left everything and followed YAHUSHA.
12 One time YAHUSHA was in a town where a very sick man lived. This man was covered with leprosy. When the man saw YAHUSHA, he bowed before YAHUSHA and begged Him, “Master, You have the power to heal me if You want.” 13 YAHUSHA said, “I do want … and you are healed!” Then He touched the man, and immediately the leprosy disappeared. 14 Then YAHUSHA said, “Don’t tell anyone about what happened. But go and let the Priest look at you. And offer a gift to YAHUAH for your healing as Moses commanded. This will show people that you are truly healed.” 15 But the news about YAHUSHA spread more and more. Many people came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses. 16 YAHUSHA often went away to other places to be alone so that He could pray.
17 One day YAHUSHA was teaching the people. The Pharisees and Teachers of the Law were sitting there too. They had come from every town in Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. The Father was giving YAHUSHA the power to heal people. 18 There was a man who was paralysed, and some other men were carrying him on a mat. They tried to bring him and put him down before YAHUSHA. 19 But there were so many people that they could not find a way to YAHUSHA. So they went up on the roof and lowered the crippled man down through a hole in the ceiling. They lowered the mat into the room so that the crippled man was lying before YAHUSHA. 20 YAHUSHA saw how much belief they had and said to the sick man, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”
21 The Jewish Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees thought to themselves, “Who is this man who dares to say such things? What an insult to Alahim! No one but Alahim can forgive sins.” 22 But YAHUSHA knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you have doubts in your minds? 23-24 The Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins. But how can I prove this to you? Maybe you are thinking it was easy for Me to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven.’ There’s no proof that it really happened though is there? But what if I say to the man, ‘Stand up and walk’? Then you will be able to see that I really have this power.” So YAHUSHA said to the paralysed man, “I tell you, stand up! Take your mat and go home!” 25 The man immediately stood up in front of everyone. He picked up his mat and walked home, praising Alahim. 26 Everyone was completely amazed and began to praise Alahim. They were filled with great respect for Alahim’s power. They said, “Today we saw amazing things!”
27 After this YAHUSHA went out and saw a tax collector sitting at his place for collecting taxes. His name was Levi. YAHUSHA said to him, “Follow me mate!” 28 Levi got up, left everything, and followed YAHUSHA. 29 Then Levi held a big dinner at his house for YAHUSHA. At the table there were many tax collectors and some other people too. 30 But the Pharisees and those who taught the Law for the Pharisees began to complain to the followers of YAHUSHA, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and other sinners?” 31 YAHUSHA answered them, “It is the sick people who need a doctor, not those who are healthy. 32 I have not come to ask ‘good’ people to repent and change. I’ve come to deliver the sinners, so that they can be made whole again!”
33 They said to YAHUSHA, “John’s followers often fast and pray, the same as the followers of the Pharisees. But Your followers eat and drink all the time.”34 YAHUSHA said to them, “At a wedding you can’t ask the friends of the bridegroom to be sad and fast while He is still with them. 35 But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them. Then his friends will fast.”
36 YAHUSHA told them this story: “No one takes cloth off a new coat to cover a hole in an old coat. That would ruin the new coat, and the cloth from the new coat would not be the same as the old cloth. 37 Also, no one ever pours new wine into old wineskins. The new wine would break them. The wine would spill out, and the wineskins would be ruined. 38 You always put new wine into new wineskins. 39 No one who drinks old wine wants new wine. They say, ‘The old wine is just fine.’”
NEW TEACHINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE WRITTEN ON A NEW HEART BY A NEW SPIRIT, FOR WITHOUT THIS DIVINE HEART OPERATION, NO SEEDS OF DELIVERANCE CAN BE PLANTED TO BEGIN THE METAMORPHOSIS (LIKE WHAT YAHUAH WENT THROUGH TO BECOME YAHUSHA - THE NEW FIRST-FRUIT BEING). THIS HAPPENS AT REPENTANCE AND IMMERSION IN YAHUSHA’S ONLY ONE TRUE NAME.
