Before Torah Reading
Matthew 5:17-20
Do not think that I came to dismiss the Torah or the Prophets. I have not come to dismiss, but to carry out. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one smallest letter or one stroke shall pass away from the Torah, until everything happens. Therefore, anyone who dismisses one of these small mitzvoth (Commandments), and thus teach the sons of men to do so, will be called little in the Kingdom of Heaven; but those who do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
When Removing Torah From Ark
When the Ark set out, Mosha would say: Arise, O AdonYah, and Your adversaries will be scattered, and Your enemies will flee before You. For from Zion shall go forth the Torah, and the Word of AdonYah from Jerusalem. Blessed is He who in His holiness gave Torah to His people Israel.
The Torah which Moshe commanded us is the heritage of congregation of Ya’aqub. (Kiss the Torah)

THE BOOK OF MATTHEW
CHAPTER 28
1 And in the evening of the Sabbath as it was dusk, as the first day of the week began to
dawn, came Mary of Magdala and the other Mary, to view the sepulcher.
2 And behold, there was a great earthquake: for an angel of the Lord Yahweh
descended from
heaven, and came and rolled away the stone from
the door, and sat upon
it.
3 And his appearance was like the lightning; and his clothing was white like snow:
4 and from
fear of him
the guards were astounded, and became as dead men.
5 And the angel answered, and said to the women: Do not be afraid, for I know that you
seek Jesus who was crucified.
6 He is not here; for he is risen, as he predicted. Come, see the place where our Lord
was laid.
7 And go quickly, tell his disciples, that he is risen from
the dead; and behold, he
precedes you to Galilee; there you will see him. Behold, I have told you.
8 And they went quickly from
the sepulcher, with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his
disciples.
9 And behold, Jesus met them, and said to them: Peace to you. And they came and took
hold of his feet, and worshipped him.
10 Then Jesus said to them: Do not be afraid; but go, tell my brethren, that they go to
Galilee, and there they will see me.

Gospel of Thomas v. 50-9
50) Jesus said, “If they say to you, ‘Where did you come from?’,
say to them, ‘We came from the light, the place where the light
came into being on its own accord and established [itself] and
became manifest through their image.’ If they say to you, ‘Is it
you?’, say, ‘We are its children, we are the elect of the Living
Father.’ If they ask you, ‘What is the sign of your father in
you?’, say to them, ‘It is movement and repose.'”
51) His disciples said to Him, “When will the repose of the dead
come about, and when will the new world come?”
He said to them, “What you look forward to has already come,
but you do not recognize it.”
52) His disciples said to Him, “Twenty-four prophets spoke in
Israel, and all of them spoke in You.”
He said to them, “You have omitted the one living in your
presence and have spoken (only) of the dead.”
53) His disciples said to Him, “Is circumcision beneficial or
not?”
He said to them, “If it were beneficial, their father would
beget them already circumcised from their mother. Rather, the
true circumcision in spirit has become completely profitable.”
54) Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor, for yours is the Kingdom
of Heaven.”
55) Jesus said, “Whoever does not hate his father and his mother
cannot become a disciple to Me. And whoever does not hate his
brothers and sisters and take up his cross in My way will not be
worthy of Me.”
56) Jesus said, “Whoever has come to understand the world has
found (only) a corpse, and whoever has found a corpse is superior
to the world.”
57) Jesus said, “The Kingdom of the Father is like a man who had
[good] seed. His enemy came by night and sowed weeds among the
good seed. The man did not allow them to pull up the weeds; he
said to them, ‘I am afraid that you will go intending to pull up
the weeds and pull up the wheat along with them.’ For on the day
of the harvest the weeds will be plainly visible, and they will
be pulled up and burned.”
58) Jesus said, “Blessed is the man who has suffered and found
life.”
59) Jesus said, “Take heed of the Living One while you are
alive, lest you die and seek to see Him and be unable to do so.”

Ode Twenty Six
1 Fill for yourselves water from the living fountain of the Lord, because it has been opened for you.
2 And come all you thirsty and take a drink, and rest beside the fountain of the Lord.
3 Because it is pleasing and sparkling, and perpetually refreshes the self.
4 For much sweeter is its water than honey, and the honeycomb of bees is not to be compared with it; 5 Because it flowed from the lips of the Lord, and it named from the heart of the Lord.
6 And it came boundless and invisible, and until it was set in the middle they knew it not.
7 Blessed are they who have drunk from it, and have refreshed themselves by it. Halleluyah.
After Torah Reading
Psalm 119:18
Happy are they who are upright in the way, who walk in the Torah of AdonYah. Happy are they who keep His testimonies, that seek Him with the whole heart. They do no unrighteousness; they walk in His way. You have ordained Your precepts, that we should observe them diligently. Oh that my ways were directed to observe Your statutes! Then I would not be ashamed, when I have given diligence unto all Your mitzvoth. I will give thanks unto You with uprightness of heart, when I learn Your righteous ordinances. I will observe Your statutes; do not utterly forsake me.
Lord Yeshua, you who were brought forth by the very hand of God the Father, made known to the Blessed Mother Maryam, by the message of the angel Gabriel — I praise you, I thank you and I honour you with all my heart. It was you who said, ‘I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me, shall not hunger; and he that believeth on me, shall never thirst.’ Grant unto the presence of the Spirit of holiness as you promised to your disciples, so that I may understand the Word of God and the Will of the Father for me. Amen.
