Matthew 27:32-66
32 And as they went out, they found a man from Qurinya* whose name was Shimon; and they compelled him to carry his cross. 33 And they came to a place which is called Golgotha, which is interpreted The Skull. 34 And they gave him to strong vinegar drink mixed with gall. And he tasted it but did not desire to drink it. 35 And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes by casting lots. 36 And sitting down, they were watching him there. 37 And they placed over his head the reason for his death in writing:
THIS IS YESHUA,
THE KING OF THE JUDEANS
38 And there were crucified with him two bandits, one on his right, and one on his left. 39 And those who were passing by were blaspheming against him, and were nodding their heads 40 and saying: “You who would tear down the Temple, and rebuild it in three days, deliver yourself if you are the Son of God, and come down from the cross.” 41 Likewise the chief priests were mocking, along with the scribes and elders and Pharisees, 42 and they were saying: “He saved others, but his very life he is not able to save. If he is the King of Yisrael, let him come down now from the cross, so that we may see it and believe in him. 43 He trusted in God; let him save him now, if he is pleased with him, for he said: ‘I am the Son of God.'”
44 Likewise the bandits that were also crucified with him, criticised him. 45 And from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land, until the ninth hour. 46 And about the ninth hour, Yeshua cried out with a loud voice and said: “Eli, Eli; why have you spared me?” 47 And some of those men that were standing there, when they heard this, said: “He calls for Eliyahu.” 48 And immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and offered it to him. 49 But the rest were saying: “Let him be; let us see if Eliyahu will come to save him.”
50 And again Yeshua cried out with a loud voice, and gave up his spirit. 51 And immediately, the lintel of the Temple fell and broke into pieces; and the earth was shaken; and the rocks split. 52 And the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who were sleeping arose, 53 and went out; and after his resurrection, they entered into the Holy City, and many saw them. 54 And the centurion, and those that were with him who were watching Yeshua, when they saw the earthquake and all that had occurred, became afraid, and said: “Truly, this was the Son of God.”
55 And there were also many women there, who were observing from a distance; the same who had followed Yeshua from Galil, and had ministered to him. 56 One of them was Miriam of Magdala, also Miriam the mother of Ya’aqub and Yoseh, and the mother of the sons of Zavddai.
57 And when it became evening, a rich man came from Ramatayim, whose name was a Yoseph, who was also a talmid of Yeshua. 58 This man drew near to Pilatos, and requested the body of Yeshua. And Pilatos instructed that the body be given to him. 59 And Yoseph took the body, and wrapped it in a shroud of fine linen; 60 and he laid it in his new sepulchre that had been hewn from rock. And they rolling a large boulder, they placed it against the entrance of the sepulchre, and departed: 6l And Miriam of Magdala and the other Miriam were there, who sat on the other side of the sepulchre.
62 And on the next day that was after sunset*, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together with Pilatos, 63 and said to him: “Our lord, we remember that this deceiver said, when he was alive, ‘After three days, I will arise.’ 64 Therefore, instruct that they guard the sepulchre until the third day; in case his talmidim come and steal him during the night, and say to the people that he has risen from the dead; and the last deception should become worse than the first.'” 65 Pilatos said to them: “You have guards! Go and guard it as you see fit.” 66 And they went and appointed guards by the sepulchre, and set a seal on the stone and placed the guards on watch.
James 4
1 What has caused all of the fighting among you? Is it not from the lusts which war in all of your members? 2 You covet, yet you do not possess anything; you kill, and envy, and yet you still do not obtain anything; you fight against and attack others; and you do not have anything because you do not ask for it. 3 You ask, and yet you do not receive because you ask in such an evil way in order that you attend to your desires.
4 You adulterers, do you not know that the love of this world is hostility towards Alaha? Therefore, it stands to reason that you who choose to love this world are an enemy of Alaha. 5 The spirit dwelling in us lusts with envy. 6 But Maran has given us more grace. Alaha humbles the proud, and gives grace to the meek.
7 Therefore, be in subjection to the Will of Alaha; if you stand firm against the evil one he will flee from you. 8 Draw close to Alaha and he will draw close to you. Go and wash your hands, all of you who sin; sanctify your hearts, all of you who have a divided mind. 9 Humble yourselves, and mourn; let your laughter be turned into crying, and your joy into grief. 10 Humble yourselves before Mar-Yah and he will exalt you. 11 My brethren, do not speak against each other; for he that speaks against his brother, or judges his brother, speaks against Torah, and judges Torah. And if you judge Torah, you are not Torah observant, but its judge.
12 There is One who gave Torah and he is Judge; and it is he who can cause life and death; but who are you, little man, that you think you have the right to judge your neighbour? 13 But what shall we say of those, who say: “Today or tomorrow we will go to such-and-such city, and will take up residence there for a year; and we will trade there and make a profit”? 14 You do not know what will occur tomorrow; for what is our life, but an exhalation that is seen for only a short time, and then it vanishes and is gone? 15 Instead, they should being saying: “If it is in accordance with the Will of Mar-Yah, we will live and we will do this or that”. 16 However, they are full of arrogance and boasting, and all of these things are evil. 17 Be careful, for he who knows that which is right, yet fails to observe them commits sin and becomes unclean.
