STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW JERUSALEM
1 וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־שְׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם גְּבוּרָה וְשָׁלְטָן עַל כָּל־הַשֵּׁדִים וְלִרְפֹּא חֳלָיִים	1 He cal ed the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases,
2 וַיְשַׁלְּחֵם לִקְרֹא אֶת־מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים וְלִרְפֹּא אֶת־הַחֹלִים	2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.
3 וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם אַל־תִּקְחוּ מְאוּמָה לַדָּרֶךְ לֹא מַטּוֹת וְלֹא תַרְמִיל וְלֹא־לֶחֶם וְלֹא־כָסֶף וְאַל־יִהְיֶה לְאִישׁ מִכֶּם שְׁתֵּי כֻתֳּנוֹת	3 He said to them, 'Take nothing for the journey: neither staff, nor haversack, nor bread, nor money; anddo not have a spare tunic.
4 וְהַבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר תָּבֹאוּ בוֹ שָׁם שְׁבוּ־לָכֶם וּמִשָּׁם צֵאוּ	4 Whatever house you enter, stay there; and when you leave let your departure be from there.
5 וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יְקַבְּלוּ אֶתְכֶם צְאוּ מִן־הָעִיר הַהִיא וְנַעֲרוּ אֶת־הֶעָפָר מֵעַל רַגְלֵיכֶם לְעֵדוּת בָּהֶם	5 As for those who do not welcome you, when you leave their town shake the dust from your feet asevidence against them.'
6 וַיֵּצְאוּ וַיַּעַבְרוּ בַכְּפָרִים מְבַשְּׂרִים אֶת־הַבְּשׂוֹרָה וּמְרַפְּאִים בְּכָל־מָקוֹם	6 So they set out and went from village to vil age proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere.
7 וַיִּשְׁמַע הוֹרְדוֹס שַׂר הָרֹבַע אֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂה עַל־יָדוֹ וַתִּפָּעֶם רוּחוֹ כִּי־יֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ יוֹחָנָן קָם מִן־הַמֵּתִים	7 Meanwhile Herod the tetrarch had heard about al that was going on; and he was puzzled, becausesome people were saying that John had risen from the dead,
8 וְיֵשׁ שֶׁאָמְרוּ אֵלִיָּהוּ נִרְאָה וַאֲחֵרִים אָמְרוּ נָבִיא קָם מִן־הַקַּדְמוֹנִים	8 others that Elijah had reappeared, still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life.
9 וַיֹּאמֶר הוֹרְדוֹס הֵן אָנֹכִי נָשָׂאתִי אֶת־רֹאשׁ יוֹחָנָן מֵעָלָיו וּמִי־אֵפוֹא הוּא אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי שֹׁמֵעַ עָלָיו כָּזֹאת וַיְבַקֵּשׁ לִרְאוֹתוֹ	9 But Herod said, 'John? I beheaded him. So who is this I hear such reports about?' And he was anxiousto see him.
10 וַיָּשׁוּבוּ הַשְּׁלִיחִים וַיְסַפְּרוּ־לוֹ אֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר עָשֹוּ וַיִּקָּחֵם אֵלָיו וַיָּסַר לְבָדָד אֶל־מָקוֹם חָרֵב אֲשֶׁר לָעִיר הַנִּקְרָאָה בֵית־צָיְדָה	10 On their return the apostles gave him an account of al they had done. Then he took them with him andwithdrew towards a town called Bethsaida where they could be by themselves.
11 וַהֲמוֹן הָעָם כַּאֲשֶׁר יָדְעוּ אֶת־זֹאת הָלְכוּ אַחֲרָיו וַיְקַבְּלֵם וַיְדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם עַל־מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים וַיִּרְפָּא אֶת־הַצְּרִיכִים לִרְפוּאָה	11 But the crowds got to know and they went after him. He made them welcome and talked to them aboutthe kingdom of God; and he cured those who were in need of healing.
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 It was late afternoon when the Twelve came up to him and said, 'Send the people away, and they cango to the vil ages and farms round about to find lodging and food; for we are in a lonely place here.'
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 He replied, 'Give them something to eat yourselves.' But they said, 'We have no more than five loavesand two fish, unless we are to go ourselves and buy food for al these people.'
14 כִּי הָיוּ כַּחֲמֵשֶׁת אַלְפֵי־אִישׁ וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־תַּלְמִידָיו הוֹשִׁיבוּ אֹתָם שׁוּרוֹת שׁוּרוֹת חֲמִשִּׁים בַּשּׁוּרָה	14 For there were about five thousand men. But he said to his disciples, 'Get them to sit down in parties ofabout fifty.'
15 וַיַּעֲשֹוּ־כֵן וַיּוֹשִׁיבוּ אֶת־כֻּלָּם	15 They did so and made them al sit down.
16 וַיִּקַּח אֶת־חֲמֵשֶׁת כִּכְּרוֹת הַלֶּחֶם וְאֶת־שְׁנֵי הַדָּגִים וַיִּשָּׂא עֵינָיו הַשָּׁמַיְמָה וַיְבָרֶךְ עֲלֵיהֶם וַיִּפְרֹס וַיִּתֵּן לְתַלְמִידָיו לָשֹוּם לִפְנֵי הָעָם	16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, raised his eyes to heaven, and said the blessing overthem; then he broke them and handed them to his disciples to distribute among the crowd.
17 וַיֹּאכְלוּ כֻלָּם וַיִּשְׂבָּעוּ וַיִּשְׂאוּ מִן־הַפְּתוֹתִים הַנּוֹתָרִים לָהֶם שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר סַלִּים	17 They al ate as much as they wanted, and when the scraps left over were col ected they fil ed twelvebaskets.
18 וַיְהִי הוּא מִתְפַּלֵּל לְבָדָד וַיֵּאָסְפוּ אֵלָיו תַּלְמִידָיו וַיִּשְׁאַל אֹתָם לֵאמֹר מָה־אֹמְרִים עָלַי הֲמוֹן הָעָם מִי־אָנִי	18 Now it happened that he was praying alone, and his disciples came to him and he put this question tothem, 'Who do the crowds say I am?'
19 וַיַּעֲנוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ יוֹחָנָן הַמַּטְבִּיל וַאֲחֵרִים אֹמְרִים אֵלִיָּהוּ וַאֲחֵרִים אֹמְרִים נָבִיא קָם מִן־הַקַּדְמוֹנִים	19 And they answered, 'Some say John the Baptist; others Elijah; others again one of the ancientprophets come back to life.'
20 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם וְאַתֶּם מָה־אַתֶּם אֹמְרִים מִי־אָנִי וַיַּעַן פֶּטְרוֹס וַיֹּאמֶר מְשִׁיחַ הָאֱלֹהִים אָתָּה	20 'But you,' he said to them, 'who do you say I am?' It was Peter who spoke up. 'The Christ of God,' hesaid.
21 וַיְצַו אֹתָם בִּגְעָרָה לְבִלְתִּי הַגִּיד לְאִישׁ אֶת־הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה	21 But he gave them strict orders and charged them not to say 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 He said, 'The Son of man is destined to suffer grievously, to be rejected by the elders and chief priestsand scribes and to be put to death, and to be raised up on the third day.'
23 וְאֶל־כֻּלָּם אָמַר אִישׁ כִּי־יַחְפֹּץ לָלֶכֶת אַחֲרַי יְכַחֵשׁ בְּנַפְשׁוֹ וְיוֹם יוֹם יִשָּׂא אֶת־צְלָבוֹ וְהָלַךְ אַחֲרָי	23 Then, speaking to al , he said, 'If anyone wants to be a fol ower of mine, let him renounce himself andtake up his cross every day and fol ow me.
24 כִּי כָּל־אֲשֶׁר יַחְפֹּץ לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ תֹּאבַד נַפְשׁוֹ מִמֶּנּוּ וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר יְאַבֵּד אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ לְמַעֲנִי הוּא יוֹשִׁיעֶנָּה	24 Anyone who wants to save his life wil lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, wil save it.
25 כִּי מַה־יּוֹעִיל הָאָדָם כִּי־יִקְנֶה אֶת כָּל־הָעוֹלָם וְאִבֵּד וְהִשְׁחִית אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ	25 What benefit is it to anyone to win the whole world and forfeit or lose his very self?
26 כִּי כֹל אֲשֶׁר הָיִיתִי אֲנִי וּדְבָרַי לוֹ לְחֶרְפָּה הוּא יִהְיֶה לְחֶרְפָּה לְבֶן־הָאָדָם כַּאֲשֶׁר יָבֹא בִּכְבוֹדוֹ וּבִכְבוֹד הָאָב וְהַמַּלְאָכִים הַקְּדוֹשִׁים	26 For if anyone is ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of man wil be ashamed when hecomes in his own glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels.
27 וּבֶאֱמֶת אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם יֵשׁ מִן־הָעֹמְדִים פֹּה אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִטְעֲמוּ מָוֶת עַד כִּי־יִרְאוּ אֶת־מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	27 'I tel you truly, there are some standing here who wil not taste death before they see the kingdom ofGod.'
28 וַיְהִי כִּשְׁמֹנָה יָמִים אַחֲרֵי הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וַיִּקַּח אֵלָיו אֶת־פֶּטְרוֹס וְאֶת־יוֹחָנָן וְאֶת־יַעֲקֹב וַיַּעַל אֶל־הָהָר לְהִתְפַּלֵּל שָׁם	28 Now about eight days after this had been said, he took with him Peter, John and James and went upthe mountain to pray.
29 וַיְהִי בְּהִתְפַּלְלוֹ נִשְׁתַּנָּה מַרְאֵה פָנָיו וּלְבוּשׁוֹ הִלְבִּין וְהִבְרִיק	29 And it happened that, as he was praying, the aspect of his face was changed and his clothing becamesparkling white.
30 וְהִנֵּה שְׁנֵי אֲנָשִׁים מִדַּבְּרִים אִתּוֹ וְהֵמָּה משֶׁה וְאֵלִיָּהוּ	30 And suddenly there were two men talking to him; they were Moses and Elijah
31 אֲשֶׁר נִרְאוּ בְּכָבוֹד וְהִגִּידוּ אֶת־אַחֲרִיתוֹ אֲשֶׁר יְמַלְּאֶנָּה בִּירוּשָׁלָיִם	31 appearing in glory, and they were speaking of his passing which he was to accomplish in Jerusalem.
32 וַיִּהְיוּ פֶטְרוֹס וַאֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ נִרְדָּמִים וּבַהֲקִיצָם רָאוּ אֶת־כְּבוֹדוֹ וְאֶת־שְׁנֵי הָאֲנָשִׁים הָעֹמְדִים עָלָיו	32 Peter and his companions were heavy with sleep, but they woke up and saw his glory and the two menstanding 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 As these were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, 'Master, it is wonderful for us to be here; so let usmake three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.' He did not know what he was saying.
34 הוּא מְדַבֵּר כָּזֹאת וְהִנֵּה עָנָן סֹכֵךְ עֲלֵיהֶם וּכְבוֹאָם בֶּעָנָן נִבְעָתוּ	34 As he was saying this, a cloud came and covered them with shadow; and when they went into thecloud the disciples 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 Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him.'
36 וּבִהְיוֹת הַקּוֹל נִשְׁאַר יֵשׁוּעַ לְבַדּוֹ וְהֵמָּה הֶחֱשׁוּ וְלֹא־הִגִּידוּ דָבָר לְאִישׁ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר רָאוּ	36 And after the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. The disciples kept silence and, at that time,told no one what they had seen.
37 וַיְהִי מִמָּחֳרָת בְּרִדְתָּם מִן־הָהָר וַיֵּצֵא עַם־רַב לִקְרָאתוֹ	37 Now it happened that on the fol owing day when they were coming down from the mountain a largecrowd came to meet him.
38 וְהִנֵּה אִישׁ אֶחָד מִן־הָעָם צֹעֵק לֵאמֹר אָנָּא רַבִּי פְּנֵה־נָא אֶל־בְּנִי כִּי יָחִיד הוּא לִי	38 And suddenly a man in the crowd cried out. 'Master,' he said, 'I implore you to look at my son: he is myonly child.
39 וְהִנֵּה־רוּחַ אָחַז בּוֹ וּפִתְאֹם הוּא מְצַעֵק וְהָרוּחַ מְרוֹצֵץ אֹתוֹ בְּהוֹרִיד רִירוֹ וּמַקְשֶׁה לָסוּר מִמֶּנּוּ וּבְסוּרוֹ יְדַכֵּא אֹתוֹ	39 A spirit wil suddenly take hold of him, and all at once it gives a sudden cry and throws the boy intoconvulsions with foaming at the mouth; it is slow to leave him, but when it does, it leaves the boy worn out.
40 וָאֲבַקֵּשׁ מִתַּלְמִידֶיךָ לְגָרְשׁוֹ וְלֹא יָכֹלוּ	40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, and they could not.'
41 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמַר הוֹי דּוֹר חֲסַר אֱמוּנָה וּפְתַלְתֹּל עַד־מָתַי אֶהְיֶה עִמָּכֶם וְאֶסְבֹּל אֶתְכֶם הָבֵא הֵנָּה אֶת־בְּנֶךָ	41 In reply Jesus said, 'Faithless and perverse generation! How much longer must I be among you andput up with you? Bring your son here.'
42 וַיְהִי אַךְ הִקְרִיב לָבוֹא וַיִּרְעָצֵהוּ הַשֵּׁד וַיְרוֹצְצֵהוּ וְיֵשׁוּעַ גָּעַר בָּרוּחַ הַטָּמֵא וַיְרַפֵּא אֶת־הַנַּעַר וַיְשִׁיבֵהוּ לְאָבִיו	42 Even while the boy was coming, the devil threw him to the ground in convulsions. But Jesus rebukedthe unclean spirit and cured the boy and gave him back to his father,
43 וַיִּשְׁתּוֹמְמוּ כֻלָּם עַל־גְּדֻלַּת הָאֱלֹהִים וַיְהִי בְּתָמְהָם כֻּלָּם עַל־כֹּל אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֶל־תַּלְמִידָיו	43 and everyone was awestruck by the greatness of God. But while everyone was ful of admiration for alhe did, he said to his disciples,
44 שִׂימוּ אַתֶּם בְּאָזְנֵיכֶם אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה כִּי עָתִיד בֶּן־הָאָדָם לְהִמָּסֵר בִּידֵי בְנֵי־הָאָדָם	44 'For your part, you must have these words constantly in mind: The Son of man is going to be deliveredinto the power of men.'
45 וְהֵמָּה לֹא הֵבִינוּ אֶת־הַמַּאֲמָר הַזֶּה וְנֶעֱלָם הוּא מִדַּעְתָּם וַיִּירְאוּ לִשְׁאֹל אֹתוֹ עַל־הַמַּאֲמָר הַזֶּה	45 But they did not understand what he said; it was hidden from them so that they should not see themeaning of it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
46 וַיַּעַל עַל־לְבָבָם לַחֲשׁוֹב מִי הוּא הַגָּדוֹל בָּהֶם	46 An argument started between them about which of them was the greatest.
47 וַיַּרְא יֵשׁוּעַ אֶת־מַחֲשֶׁבֶת לִבָּם וַיִּקַּח יֶלֶד וַיַּעֲמִידֵהוּ אֶצְלוֹ	47 Jesus knew what thoughts were going through their minds, and he took a little child whom he set byhis side
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 then he said to them, 'Anyone who welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; andanyone who welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me. The least among you all is the one who is thegreatest.'
49 וַיַּעַן יוֹחָנָן וַיֹּאמַר מוֹרֶה רָאִינוּ אִישׁ מְגָרֵשׁ שֵׁדִים בִּשְׁמֶךָ וַנַּעֲצוֹר בַּעֲדוֹ יַעַן אֵינֶנּוּ הוֹלֵךְ עִמָּנוּ	49 John spoke up. 'Master,' he said, 'we saw someone driving out devils in your name, and because he isnot with us we tried to stop him.'
50 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֵלָיו אַל־תַּעַצְרֻהוּ כִּי כֹל אֲשֶׁר אֵינֶנּוּ נֶגְדֵּנוּ בַּעֲדֵנוּ הוּא	50 But Jesus said to him, 'You must not stop him: anyone who is not against you is for you.'
51 וַיְהִי כִּמְלֹאת יְמֵי הֵעָלוֹתוֹ וְהוּא שָׂם אֶת־פָּנָיו לָלֶכֶת יְרוּשָׁלָיִם	51 Now it happened that as the time drew near for him to be taken up, he resolutely turned his facetowards Jerusalem
52 וַיִּשְׁלַח מַלְאָכִים לְפָנָיו וַיֵּלְכוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־אֶחָד מִכְּפָרֵי הַשֹּׁמְרוֹנִים לְהָכִין לוֹ	52 and sent messengers ahead of him. These set out, and they went into a Samaritan vil age to makepreparations for him,
53 וְלֹא קִבְּלֻהוּ עַל־אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ פָנָיו הֹלְכִים יְרוּשָׁלָיִם	53 but the people would not receive him because he was making for Jerusalem.
54 וַיֹּאמְרוּ יַעֲקֹב וְיוֹחָנָן תַּלְמִידָיו כִּרְאוֹתָם זֹאת לֵאמֹר אֲדֹנֵינוּ הֲתִרְצֶה וְנֹאמַר כִּי־תֵרֵד אֵשׁ מִן־הַשָּׁמַיִם וְתֹאכְלֵם כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה גַּם־אֵלִיָּהוּ	54 Seeing this, the disciples James and John said, 'Lord, do you want us to cal down fire from heaven toburn them up?'
55 וַיִּפֶן וַיִּגְעַר־בָּם וַיֹּאמַר הֲלֹא יְדַעְתֶּם בְּנֵי רוּחַ־מִי אַתֶּם	55 But he turned and rebuked them,
56 כִּי בֶן־הָאָדָם לֹא בָא לְאַבֵּד נַפְשׁוֹת אָדָם כִּי אִם־לְהוֹשִׁיעָם וַיֵּלְכוּ לָהֶם אֶל־כְּפָר אַחֵר	56 and they went on to another village.
57 וַיְהִי בְּלֶכְתָּם בַּדֶּרֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אִישׁ אֲדֹנִי אֵלְכָה אַחֲרֶיךָ אֶל־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר תֵּלֵךְ	57 As they travel ed along they met a man on the road who said to him, 'I wil fol ow you wherever you go.'
58 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ לַשּׁוּעָלִים יֵשׁ חוֹרֵי עָפָר וּלְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם קִנִּים וּבֶן־הָאָדָם אֵין־לוֹ מָקוֹם לְהָנִיחַ שָׁם אֶת־רֹאשׁוֹ	58 Jesus answered, 'Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man hasnowhere to lay his head.'
59 וְאֶל־אִישׁ אַחֵר אָמַר לֵךְ אַחֲרָי וְהוּא אָמַר אֲדֹנִי תֶּן־לִי וְאֵלְכָה בָרִאשׁוֹנָה לִקְבֹּר אֶת־אָבִי	59 Another to whom he said, 'Fol ow me,' replied, 'Let me go and bury my father first.'
60 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ הַנַּח לַמֵּתִים לִקְבֹּר אֶת־מֵתֵיהֶם וְאַתָּה לֵךְ הוֹדַע אֶת־מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	60 But he answered, 'Leave the dead to bury their dead; your duty is to go and spread the news of thekingdom of God.'
61 וַיֹּאמֶר עוֹד אִישׁ אַחֵר אֵלְכָה אַחֲרֶיךָ אֲדֹנִי אַךְ הַנִּיחָה־לִּי בָרִאשׁוֹנָה לְהִפָּרֵד מִבְּנֵי בֵיתִי	61 Another said, 'I wil fol ow you, sir, but first let me go and say good -- bye to my people at home.'
62 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ כָּל־הַשָּׂם אֶת־יָדוֹ עַל־הַמַּחֲרֵשָׁה וּמַבִּיט אַחֲרָיו לֹא יִכְשַׁר לְמַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	62 Jesus said to him, 'Once the hand is laid on the plough, no one who looks back is fit for the kingdom ofGod.'
