The Life & Teachings of Messiah Part 6

Yeshua learned that Yochanan was arrested and put into prison by Herod Antipas. Then

Matt 4:12-16

12 ¶  When Yeshua heard that Yochanan had been put in prison, he returned to the Galil;

13  but he left Natzeret and came to live in K’far–Nachum, a lake shore town near the boundary between Z’vulun and Naftali.

14  This happened in order to fulfill what Yesha‘yahu the prophet had said,

15  “Land of Z’vulun and land of Naftali, toward the lake, beyond the Yarden, Galil–of–the– Goyim –

16  the people living in darkness have seen a great light; upon those living in the region, in the shadow of death, light has dawned.” {#Isa 9:1–9:2}

DECEPTIVE SPIRIT CAST OUT

Luke 4:31-37

31 ¶  He went down to K’far–Nachum, a town in the Galil, and made a practice of teaching them on Shabbat.

32  They were amazed at the way he taught, because his word carried the ring of authority.

33  In the synagogue there was a man who had an unclean demonic spirit, who shouted in a loud voice,

34  “Yaah! What do you want with us, Yeshua from Natzeret? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are––the Holy One of God!”

35  But Yeshua rebuked it: “Be quiet, and come out of him!” The demonic spirit threw the man down in the middle of the crowd and came out of him, having done him no harm.

36  They were all astounded and said to one another, “What kind of teaching is this? Why, he gives orders with power and authority to the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

37  And reports about him went out through the whole surrounding district.

SHIMON'S HOUSE

Luke 4:38-41

38  Leaving the synagogue, he went to Shim‘on’s house. Shim‘on’s mother–inlaw was suffering from a high fever, and they asked him to do something for her.

39  So, standing over her, he rebuked the fever; and it left her. She immediately got up and began helping them.

40  After sunset, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to Yeshua, and he put his hands on each one of them and healed them;

41  also demons came out of many, crying, “You are the Son of God!” But, rebuking them, he did not permit them to say that they knew he was the Messiah.

In the morning He left Shimon's house and went into a desert place.

CATCH OF FISH

Luke 5:1-11

1 ¶  One day, as Yeshua was standing on the shore of Lake Kinneret, with the people pressing in around him in order to hear the word of God,

2  he noticed two boats pulled up on the beach, left there by the fishermen, who were cleaning their nets.

3  He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Shim‘on, and asked him to put out a little way from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.

4  When he had finished speaking, he said to Shim‘on, “Put out into deep water, and let down your nets for a catch.”

5  Shim‘on answered, “We’ve worked hard all night long, Rabbi, and haven’t caught a thing! But if you say so, I’ll let down the nets.”

6  They did this and took in so many fish that their nets began to tear.

7  So they motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; and they came and filled both boats to the point of sinking.

8  When he saw this, Shim‘on Kefa fell at Yeshua’s knees and said, “Get away from me, sir, because I’m a sinner!”

9  For astonishment had seized him and everyone with him at the catch of fish they had taken,

10  and likewise both Ya‘akov and Yochanan, Shim‘on’s partners. “Don’t be frightened, ”Yeshua said to Shim‘on, “from now on you will be catching men––alive!”

11  And as soon as they had beached their boats, they left everything behind and followed him.

And He said to them, "Let's go from here into other towns, so I can preach there also, because I was sent for this reason."

LEPER CLEANSED

Yeshua went through all the Galil teaching in the synagogues amd announcing the joyful report of the Kingdom. He was healing all kinds of sickness and all varieties of diseases, as well as casting out deceptive spirits among the people.

Luke 5:12-15

12 ¶  Once, when Yeshua was in one of the towns, there came a man completely covered with tzara‘at. On seeing Yeshua, he fell on his face and begged him, “Sir, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”

13  Yeshua reached out his hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing! Be cleansed!” Immediately the tzara‘at left him.

14  Then Yeshua warned him not to tell anyone. “Instead, as a testimony to the people, go straight to the cohen and make an offering for your cleansing, as Moshe commanded.”

15  But the news about Yeshua kept spreading all the more, so that huge crowds would gather to listen and be healed of their sicknesses.

Note: There are 3 miracles the Rabbi’s expect Messiah to do:

·        Heal an Israeli from Leprosy – To this time only Namaan the Syrian had been cured of that disease

·        Cast out a demon from a mute

·        Heal a man born blind

YESHUA AT HOME

Then Yeshua entered into a boat and crossed over Lake Kinneret and came again to His own town of K'far-Nachum, and the news spread that He was at His home.

Luke 5:17-26

17 ¶  One day when Yeshua was teaching, there were P’rushim and Torah–teachers present who had come from various villages in the Galil and Y’hudah, also from Yerushalayim; and the power of ADONAI was with him to heal the sick.

18  Some men came carrying a paralyzed man lying on a bed. They wanted to bring him inside and lay him in front of Yeshua,

19  but they couldn’t find a way to get him in because of the crowd. So they went up onto the roof and lowered him on his mattress through the tiles into the middle of the gathering, right in front of Yeshua.

20  When Yeshua saw their trust, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven you.”

21  The Torah–teachers and the P’rushim began thinking, “Who is this fellow that speaks such blasphemies? Who can forgive sin except God?”

22  But Yeshua, knowing what they were thinking, answered, “Why are you turning over such thoughts in your hearts?

23  Which is easier to say? ‘Your sins are forgiven you’? or ‘Get up and walk’?

24  But look! I will prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” He then said to the paralytic, “I say to you: get up, pick up your mattress and go home!”

25  Immediately, in front of everyone, he stood up, picked up what he had been lying on, and went home praising God.

26  Amazement seized them all, and they made a b’rakhah to God; they were awestruck, saying, “We have seen extraordinary things today.”

Then Yeshua left His home to walk again by Lake Kinneret, and all the crowds went along with Him, so He taught them.

Luke 5:27-39

27 ¶  Later Yeshua went out and saw a tax–collector named Levi sitting in his tax–collection booth; and he said to him, “Follow me!”

28  He got up, left everything and followed him.

29  Levi gave a banquet at his house in Yeshua’s honor, and there was a large group of tax–collectors and others at the table with them.

30  The P’rushim and their Torah–teachers protested indignantly against his talmidim, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax–collectors and sinners?”

31  It was Yeshua who answered them: “The ones who need a doctor aren’t the healthy but the sick.

32  I have not come to call the ‘righteous, ‘but rather to call sinners to turn to God from their sins.”

33  Next they said to him, “Yochanan’s talmidim are always fasting and davvening, and likewise the talmidim of the P’rushim; but yours go on eating and drinking.”

34  Yeshua said to them, “Can you make wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is still with them?

35  The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; and when that time comes, they will fast.”

36  Then he gave them an illustration: “No one tears a piece from a new coat and puts it on an old one; if he does, not only will the new one continue to rip, but the piece from the new will not match the old.

37  Also, no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the new wine will burst the skins and be spilled, and the skins too will be ruined.

38  On the contrary, new wine must be put into freshly prepared wineskins.

39  Besides that, after drinking old wine, people don’t want new; because they say, ‘The old is good enough.’” {By this Yeshua instructed that the righteous must be patient with those new to righteousness.}
