1 וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־שְׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם גְּבוּרָה וְשָׁלְטָן עַל כָּל־הַשֵּׁדִים וְלִרְפֹּא חֳלָיִים	1 Then calling together the twelve Apostles, he gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.
2 וַיְשַׁלְּחֵם לִקְרֹא אֶת־מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים וְלִרְפֹּא אֶת־הַחֹלִים	2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the infirm.
3 וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם אַל־תִּקְחוּ מְאוּמָה לַדָּרֶךְ לֹא מַטּוֹת וְלֹא תַרְמִיל וְלֹא־לֶחֶם וְלֹא־כָסֶף וְאַל־יִהְיֶה לְאִישׁ מִכֶּם שְׁתֵּי כֻתֳּנוֹת	3 And he said to them: “You should take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor traveling bag, nor bread, nor money; and you should not have two tunics.
4 וְהַבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר תָּבֹאוּ בוֹ שָׁם שְׁבוּ־לָכֶם וּמִשָּׁם צֵאוּ	4 And into whatever house you shall enter, lodge there, and do not move away from there.
5 וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יְקַבְּלוּ אֶתְכֶם צְאוּ מִן־הָעִיר הַהִיא וְנַעֲרוּ אֶת־הֶעָפָר מֵעַל רַגְלֵיכֶם לְעֵדוּת בָּהֶם	5 And whoever will not have received you, upon departing from that city, shake off even the dust on your feet, as a testimony against them.”
6 וַיֵּצְאוּ וַיַּעַבְרוּ בַכְּפָרִים מְבַשְּׂרִים אֶת־הַבְּשׂוֹרָה וּמְרַפְּאִים בְּכָל־מָקוֹם	6 And going forth, they traveled around, through the towns, evangelizing and curing everywhere.
7 וַיִּשְׁמַע הוֹרְדוֹס שַׂר הָרֹבַע אֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂה עַל־יָדוֹ וַתִּפָּעֶם רוּחוֹ כִּי־יֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ יוֹחָנָן קָם מִן־הַמֵּתִים	7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all the things that were being done by him, but he doubted, because it was said
8 וְיֵשׁ שֶׁאָמְרוּ אֵלִיָּהוּ נִרְאָה וַאֲחֵרִים אָמְרוּ נָבִיא קָם מִן־הַקַּדְמוֹנִים	8 by some, “For John has risen from the dead,” yet truly, by others, “For Elijah has appeared,” and by still others, “For one of the prophets from of old has risen again.”
9 וַיֹּאמֶר הוֹרְדוֹס הֵן אָנֹכִי נָשָׂאתִי אֶת־רֹאשׁ יוֹחָנָן מֵעָלָיו וּמִי־אֵפוֹא הוּא אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי שֹׁמֵעַ עָלָיו כָּזֹאת וַיְבַקֵּשׁ לִרְאוֹתוֹ	9 And Herod said: “I beheaded John. So then, who is this, about whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him.
10 וַיָּשׁוּבוּ הַשְּׁלִיחִים וַיְסַפְּרוּ־לוֹ אֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר עָשֹוּ וַיִּקָּחֵם אֵלָיו וַיָּסַר לְבָדָד אֶל־מָקוֹם חָרֵב אֲשֶׁר לָעִיר הַנִּקְרָאָה בֵית־צָיְדָה	10 And when the Apostles returned, they explained to him all the things that they had done. And taking them with him, he withdrew to a deserted place apart, which belongs to Bethsaida.
11 וַהֲמוֹן הָעָם כַּאֲשֶׁר יָדְעוּ אֶת־זֹאת הָלְכוּ אַחֲרָיו וַיְקַבְּלֵם וַיְדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם עַל־מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים וַיִּרְפָּא אֶת־הַצְּרִיכִים לִרְפוּאָה	11 But when the crowd had realized this, they followed him. And he received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God. And those who were in need of cures, he healed.
12 וְהַיּוֹם רָפָה לַעֲרֹב וּשְׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר קָרְבוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו שַׁלַּח־נָא אֶת־הָעָם וְיֵלְכוּ אֶל־הַכְּפָרִים וְהַחֲצֵרִים אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבוֹתֵינוּ לָלוּן שָׁם וְלִמְצֹא מָזוֹן כִּי־פֹה אֲנַחְנוּ בִּמְקוֹם חָרְבָּה	12 Then the day began to decline. And drawing near, the twelve said to him: “Dismiss the crowds, so that, by going into the surrounding towns and villages, they may separate and find food. For we are here in a deserted place.”
13 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם תְּנוּ־אַתֶּם לָהֶם לֶאֱכֹל וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵין לָנוּ כִּי אִם־חֲמֵשֶׁת כִּכְּרוֹת־לֶחֶם וְדָגִים שְׁנַיִם בִּלְתִּי אִם־נֵלֵךְ וְנִקְנֶה־אֹכֶל לְכָל־הָעָם הַזֶּה	13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said, “There is with us no more than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we are to go and buy food for this entire multitude.”
14 כִּי הָיוּ כַּחֲמֵשֶׁת אַלְפֵי־אִישׁ וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־תַּלְמִידָיו הוֹשִׁיבוּ אֹתָם שׁוּרוֹת שׁוּרוֹת חֲמִשִּׁים בַּשּׁוּרָה	14 Now there were about five thousand men. So he said to his disciples, “Have them recline to eat in groups of fifty.”
15 וַיַּעֲשֹוּ־כֵן וַיּוֹשִׁיבוּ אֶת־כֻּלָּם	15 And they did so. And they caused them all to recline to eat.
16 וַיִּקַּח אֶת־חֲמֵשֶׁת כִּכְּרוֹת הַלֶּחֶם וְאֶת־שְׁנֵי הַדָּגִים וַיִּשָּׂא עֵינָיו הַשָּׁמַיְמָה וַיְבָרֶךְ עֲלֵיהֶם וַיִּפְרֹס וַיִּתֵּן לְתַלְמִידָיו לָשֹוּם לִפְנֵי הָעָם	16 Then, taking the five loaves and the two fish, he gazed up to heaven, and he blessed and broke and distributed them to his disciples, in order to set them before the crowd.
17 וַיֹּאכְלוּ כֻלָּם וַיִּשְׂבָּעוּ וַיִּשְׂאוּ מִן־הַפְּתוֹתִים הַנּוֹתָרִים לָהֶם שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר סַלִּים	17 And they all ate and were satisfied. And twelve baskets of fragments were taken up, which were left over from them.
18 וַיְהִי הוּא מִתְפַּלֵּל לְבָדָד וַיֵּאָסְפוּ אֵלָיו תַּלְמִידָיו וַיִּשְׁאַל אֹתָם לֵאמֹר מָה־אֹמְרִים עָלַי הֲמוֹן הָעָם מִי־אָנִי	18 And it happened that, when he was praying alone, his disciples also were with him, and he questioned them, saying: “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
19 וַיַּעֲנוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ יוֹחָנָן הַמַּטְבִּיל וַאֲחֵרִים אֹמְרִים אֵלִיָּהוּ וַאֲחֵרִים אֹמְרִים נָבִיא קָם מִן־הַקַּדְמוֹנִים	19 But they answered by saying: “John the Baptist. But some say Elijah. Yet truly, others say that one of the prophets from before has risen again.”
20 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם וְאַתֶּם מָה־אַתֶּם אֹמְרִים מִי־אָנִי וַיַּעַן פֶּטְרוֹס וַיֹּאמֶר מְשִׁיחַ הָאֱלֹהִים אָתָּה	20 Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” In response, Simon Peter said, “The Christ of God.”
21 וַיְצַו אֹתָם בִּגְעָרָה לְבִלְתִּי הַגִּיד לְאִישׁ אֶת־הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה	21 But speaking sharply to them, he instructed them not to tell this to anyone,
22 וַיֹּאמַר מִן־הַצֹּרֶךְ הוּא אֲשֶׁר בֶּן־הָאָדָם יְעֻנֶּה הַרְבֵּה וְיִמָּאֵס מִן־הַזְּקֵנִים וְהַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַסּוֹפְרִים וְיֵהָרֵג וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי קוֹם יָקוּם	22 saying, “For the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the leaders of the priests and the scribes, and be killed, and on the third day rise again.”
23 וְאֶל־כֻּלָּם אָמַר אִישׁ כִּי־יַחְפֹּץ לָלֶכֶת אַחֲרַי יְכַחֵשׁ בְּנַפְשׁוֹ וְיוֹם יוֹם יִשָּׂא אֶת־צְלָבוֹ וְהָלַךְ אַחֲרָי	23 Then he said to everyone: “If anyone is willing to come after me: let him deny himself, and take up his cross every day, and follow me.
24 כִּי כָּל־אֲשֶׁר יַחְפֹּץ לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ תֹּאבַד נַפְשׁוֹ מִמֶּנּוּ וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר יְאַבֵּד אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ לְמַעֲנִי הוּא יוֹשִׁיעֶנָּה	24 For whoever will have saved his life, will lose it. Yet whoever will have lost his life for my sake, will save it.
25 כִּי מַה־יּוֹעִיל הָאָדָם כִּי־יִקְנֶה אֶת כָּל־הָעוֹלָם וְאִבֵּד וְהִשְׁחִית אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ	25 For how does it benefit a man, if he were to gain the whole world, yet lose himself, or cause himself harm?
26 כִּי כֹל אֲשֶׁר הָיִיתִי אֲנִי וּדְבָרַי לוֹ לְחֶרְפָּה הוּא יִהְיֶה לְחֶרְפָּה לְבֶן־הָאָדָם כַּאֲשֶׁר יָבֹא בִּכְבוֹדוֹ וּבִכְבוֹד הָאָב וְהַמַּלְאָכִים הַקְּדוֹשִׁים	26 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words: of him the Son of man will be ashamed, when he will have arrived in his majesty and that of his Father and of the holy Angels.
27 וּבֶאֱמֶת אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם יֵשׁ מִן־הָעֹמְדִים פֹּה אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִטְעֲמוּ מָוֶת עַד כִּי־יִרְאוּ אֶת־מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	27 And yet, I tell you a truth: There are some standing here who shall not taste death, until they see the kingdom of God.”
28 וַיְהִי כִּשְׁמֹנָה יָמִים אַחֲרֵי הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וַיִּקַּח אֵלָיו אֶת־פֶּטְרוֹס וְאֶת־יוֹחָנָן וְאֶת־יַעֲקֹב וַיַּעַל אֶל־הָהָר לְהִתְפַּלֵּל שָׁם	28 And it happened that, about eight days after these words, he took Peter and James and John, and he ascended onto a mountain, so that he might pray.
29 וַיְהִי בְּהִתְפַּלְלוֹ נִשְׁתַּנָּה מַרְאֵה פָנָיו וּלְבוּשׁוֹ הִלְבִּין וְהִבְרִיק	29 And while he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his vestment became white and shining.
30 וְהִנֵּה שְׁנֵי אֲנָשִׁים מִדַּבְּרִים אִתּוֹ וְהֵמָּה משֶׁה וְאֵלִיָּהוּ	30 And behold, two men were talking with him. And these were Moses and Elijah, appearing in majesty.
31 אֲשֶׁר נִרְאוּ בְּכָבוֹד וְהִגִּידוּ אֶת־אַחֲרִיתוֹ אֲשֶׁר יְמַלְּאֶנָּה בִּירוּשָׁלָיִם	31 And they spoke of his departure, which he would accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 וַיִּהְיוּ פֶטְרוֹס וַאֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ נִרְדָּמִים וּבַהֲקִיצָם רָאוּ אֶת־כְּבוֹדוֹ וְאֶת־שְׁנֵי הָאֲנָשִׁים הָעֹמְדִים עָלָיו	32 Yet truly, Peter and those who were with him were weighed down by sleep. And becoming alert, they saw his majesty and the two men who were standing with him.
33 וַיְהִי בְּהִפָּרְדָם מִמֶּנּוּ וַיֹּאמֶר פֶּטְרוֹס אֶל־יֵשׁוּעַ מוֹרֶה טוֹב הֱיוֹתֵנוּ פֹה נַעֲשֶׂה־נָּא שָׁלשׁ סֻכּוֹת לְךָ אַחַת וּלְמשֶׁה אַחַת וּלְאֵלִיָּהוּ אַחַת וְלֹא יָדַע מַה־דִּבֵּר	33 And it happened that, as these were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus: “Teacher, it is good for us to be here. And so, let us make three tabernacles: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” For he did not know what he was saying.
34 הוּא מְדַבֵּר כָּזֹאת וְהִנֵּה עָנָן סֹכֵךְ עֲלֵיהֶם וּכְבוֹאָם בֶּעָנָן נִבְעָתוּ	34 Then, as he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them. And as these were entering into the cloud, they were afraid.
35 וַיֵּצֵא קוֹל מִן־הֶעָנָן אֹמֵר זֶה־בְּנִי יְדִידִי אֵלָיו תִּשְׁמָעוּן	35 And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my beloved son. Listen to him.”
36 וּבִהְיוֹת הַקּוֹל נִשְׁאַר יֵשׁוּעַ לְבַדּוֹ וְהֵמָּה הֶחֱשׁוּ וְלֹא־הִגִּידוּ דָבָר לְאִישׁ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר רָאוּ	36 And while the voice was being uttered, Jesus was found to be alone. And they were silent and told no one, in those days, any of these things, which they had seen.
37 וַיְהִי מִמָּחֳרָת בְּרִדְתָּם מִן־הָהָר וַיֵּצֵא עַם־רַב לִקְרָאתוֹ	37 But it happened on the following day that, as they were descending from the mountain, a great crowd met him.
38 וְהִנֵּה אִישׁ אֶחָד מִן־הָעָם צֹעֵק לֵאמֹר אָנָּא רַבִּי פְּנֵה־נָא אֶל־בְּנִי כִּי יָחִיד הוּא לִי	38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you, look kindly on my son, for he is my only son.
39 וְהִנֵּה־רוּחַ אָחַז בּוֹ וּפִתְאֹם הוּא מְצַעֵק וְהָרוּחַ מְרוֹצֵץ אֹתוֹ בְּהוֹרִיד רִירוֹ וּמַקְשֶׁה לָסוּר מִמֶּנּוּ וּבְסוּרוֹ יְדַכֵּא אֹתוֹ	39 And behold, a spirit takes hold of him, and he suddenly cries out, and it throws him down and convulses him, so that he foams. And though it tears him apart, it leaves him only with difficulty.
40 וָאֲבַקֵּשׁ מִתַּלְמִידֶיךָ לְגָרְשׁוֹ וְלֹא יָכֹלוּ	40 And I asked your disciples to cast him out, and they were unable.”
41 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמַר הוֹי דּוֹר חֲסַר אֱמוּנָה וּפְתַלְתֹּל עַד־מָתַי אֶהְיֶה עִמָּכֶם וְאֶסְבֹּל אֶתְכֶם הָבֵא הֵנָּה אֶת־בְּנֶךָ	41 And in response, Jesus said: “O unfaithful and perverse generation! How long will I be with you and endure you? Bring your son here.”
42 וַיְהִי אַךְ הִקְרִיב לָבוֹא וַיִּרְעָצֵהוּ הַשֵּׁד וַיְרוֹצְצֵהוּ וְיֵשׁוּעַ גָּעַר בָּרוּחַ הַטָּמֵא וַיְרַפֵּא אֶת־הַנַּעַר וַיְשִׁיבֵהוּ לְאָבִיו	42 And as he was approaching him, the demon threw him down and convulsed him.
43 וַיִּשְׁתּוֹמְמוּ כֻלָּם עַל־גְּדֻלַּת הָאֱלֹהִים וַיְהִי בְּתָמְהָם כֻּלָּם עַל־כֹּל אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֶל־תַּלְמִידָיו	43 And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and he healed the boy, and he restored him to his father.
44 שִׂימוּ אַתֶּם בְּאָזְנֵיכֶם אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה כִּי עָתִיד בֶּן־הָאָדָם לְהִמָּסֵר בִּידֵי בְנֵי־הָאָדָם	44 And all were astonished at the greatness of God. And as everyone was wondering over all that he was doing, he said to his disciples: “You must set these words in your hearts. For it shall be that the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men.”
45 וְהֵמָּה לֹא הֵבִינוּ אֶת־הַמַּאֲמָר הַזֶּה וְנֶעֱלָם הוּא מִדַּעְתָּם וַיִּירְאוּ לִשְׁאֹל אֹתוֹ עַל־הַמַּאֲמָר הַזֶּה	45 But they did not understood this word, and it was concealed from them, so that they did not perceive it. And they were afraid to question him about this word.
46 וַיַּעַל עַל־לְבָבָם לַחֲשׁוֹב מִי הוּא הַגָּדוֹל בָּהֶם	46 Now an idea entered into them, as to which of them was greater.
47 וַיַּרְא יֵשׁוּעַ אֶת־מַחֲשֶׁבֶת לִבָּם וַיִּקַּח יֶלֶד וַיַּעֲמִידֵהוּ אֶצְלוֹ	47 But Jesus, perceiving the thoughts of their hearts, took a child and stood him beside him.
48 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם כָּל־אֲשֶׁר יְקַבֵּל אֶת־הַיֶּלֶד הַזֶּה לִשְׁמִי אוֹתִי הוּא מְקַבֵּל וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר יְקַבֵּל אוֹתִי הוּא מְקַבֵּל אֵת אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחָנִי כִּי הַקָּטֹן בְּכֻלְּכֶם הוּא יִהְיֶה הַגָּדוֹל	48 And he said to them: “Whoever will receive this child in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives him who sent me. For whoever is the lesser among you all, the same is greater.”
49 וַיַּעַן יוֹחָנָן וַיֹּאמַר מוֹרֶה רָאִינוּ אִישׁ מְגָרֵשׁ שֵׁדִים בִּשְׁמֶךָ וַנַּעֲצוֹר בַּעֲדוֹ יַעַן אֵינֶנּוּ הוֹלֵךְ עִמָּנוּ	49 And responding, John said: “Teacher, we saw a certain one casting out demons in your name. And we prohibited him, for he does not follow with us.”
50 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֵלָיו אַל־תַּעַצְרֻהוּ כִּי כֹל אֲשֶׁר אֵינֶנּוּ נֶגְדֵּנוּ בַּעֲדֵנוּ הוּא	50 And Jesus said to him: “Do not prohibit him. For whoever is not against you, is for you.”
51 וַיְהִי כִּמְלֹאת יְמֵי הֵעָלוֹתוֹ וְהוּא שָׂם אֶת־פָּנָיו לָלֶכֶת יְרוּשָׁלָיִם	51 Now it happened that, while the days of his dissipation were being completed, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.
52 וַיִּשְׁלַח מַלְאָכִים לְפָנָיו וַיֵּלְכוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־אֶחָד מִכְּפָרֵי הַשֹּׁמְרוֹנִים לְהָכִין לוֹ	52 And he sent messengers before his face. And going on, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.
53 וְלֹא קִבְּלֻהוּ עַל־אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ פָנָיו הֹלְכִים יְרוּשָׁלָיִם	53 And they would not receive him, because his face was going toward Jerusalem.
54 וַיֹּאמְרוּ יַעֲקֹב וְיוֹחָנָן תַּלְמִידָיו כִּרְאוֹתָם זֹאת לֵאמֹר אֲדֹנֵינוּ הֲתִרְצֶה וְנֹאמַר כִּי־תֵרֵד אֵשׁ מִן־הַשָּׁמַיִם וְתֹאכְלֵם כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה גַּם־אֵלִיָּהוּ	54 And when his disciples, James and John, had seen this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call for fire to descend from heaven and consume them?”
55 וַיִּפֶן וַיִּגְעַר־בָּם וַיֹּאמַר הֲלֹא יְדַעְתֶּם בְּנֵי רוּחַ־מִי אַתֶּם	55 And turning, he rebuked them, saying: “Do you not know of whose spirit you are?
56 כִּי בֶן־הָאָדָם לֹא בָא לְאַבֵּד נַפְשׁוֹת אָדָם כִּי אִם־לְהוֹשִׁיעָם וַיֵּלְכוּ לָהֶם אֶל־כְּפָר אַחֵר	56 The Son of man came, not to destroy lives, but to save them.” And they went into another town.
57 וַיְהִי בְּלֶכְתָּם בַּדֶּרֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אִישׁ אֲדֹנִי אֵלְכָה אַחֲרֶיךָ אֶל־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר תֵּלֵךְ	57 And it happened that, as they were walking along the way, someone said to him, “I will follow you, wherever you will go.”
58 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ לַשּׁוּעָלִים יֵשׁ חוֹרֵי עָפָר וּלְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם קִנִּים וּבֶן־הָאָדָם אֵין־לוֹ מָקוֹם לְהָנִיחַ שָׁם אֶת־רֹאשׁוֹ	58 Jesus said to him: “Foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have nests. But the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.”
59 וְאֶל־אִישׁ אַחֵר אָמַר לֵךְ אַחֲרָי וְהוּא אָמַר אֲדֹנִי תֶּן־לִי וְאֵלְכָה בָרִאשׁוֹנָה לִקְבֹּר אֶת־אָבִי	59 Then he said to another, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”
60 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ הַנַּח לַמֵּתִים לִקְבֹּר אֶת־מֵתֵיהֶם וְאַתָּה לֵךְ הוֹדַע אֶת־מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	60 And Jesus said to him: “Let the dead bury their dead. But you go and announce the kingdom of God.”
61 וַיֹּאמֶר עוֹד אִישׁ אַחֵר אֵלְכָה אַחֲרֶיךָ אֲדֹנִי אַךְ הַנִּיחָה־לִּי בָרִאשׁוֹנָה לְהִפָּרֵד מִבְּנֵי בֵיתִי	61 And another said: “I will follow you, Lord. But permit me first to explain this to those of my house.”
62 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ כָּל־הַשָּׂם אֶת־יָדוֹ עַל־הַמַּחֲרֵשָׁה וּמַבִּיט אַחֲרָיו לֹא יִכְשַׁר לְמַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	62 Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow, and then looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
