The Life & Teachings of Messiah Part 5

YOCHANAN ANSWERS A DISPUTE

John 3:22 – 4:4

22 ¶  After this, Yeshua and his talmidim went out into the countryside of Y’hudah, where he stayed awhile with them and immersed people.

23  Yochanan too was immersing at Einayim, near Shalem, because there was plenty of water there; and people kept coming to be immersed.

24  (This was before Yochanan’s imprisonment.)

25  A discussion arose between some of Yochanan’s talmidim and a Judean about ceremonial washing;

26  and they came to Yochanan and said to him, “Rabbi, you know the man who was with you on the other side of the Yarden, the one you spoke about? Well, here he is, immersing; and everyone is going to him!”

27  Yochanan answered, “No one can receive anything unless it has been given to him from Heaven.

28  You yourselves can confirm that I did not say I was the Messiah, but that I have been sent ahead of him.

29  The bridegroom is the one who has the bride; but the bridegroom’s friend, who stands and listens to him, is overjoyed at the sound of the bridegroom’s voice. So this joy of mine is now complete.

30  He must become more important, while I become less important.

31  “He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth is from the earth and talks from an earthly point of view; he who comes from heaven is above all.

32  He testifies about what he has actually seen and heard, yet no one accepts what he says!

33  Whoever does accept what he says puts his seal on the fact that God is true,

34  because the one whom God sent speaks God’s words. For God does not give him the Spirit in limited degree––

35  the Father loves the Son and has put everything in his hands.

36  Whoever trusts in the Son has eternal life. But whoever disobeys the Son will not see that life but remains subject to God’s wrath.”

1 ¶  When Yeshua learned that the P’rushim had heard he was making and immersing more talmidim than Yochanan

2  (although it was not Yeshua himself who immersed but his talmidim),

3  Yeshua left Y’hudah and set out again for the Galil.

4 ¶  This meant that he had to pass through Shomron.

WOMAN AT THE WELL

John 4:5 – 27

5  He came to a town in Shomron called Sh’khem, near the field Ya‘akov had given to his son Yosef.

6  Ya‘akov’s Well was there; so Yeshua, exhausted from his travel, sat down by the well; it was about noon.

7  A woman from Shomron came to draw some water; and Yeshua said to her, “Give me a drink of water.”

8  (His talmidim had gone into town to buy food.)

9  The woman from Shomron said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for water from me, a woman of Shomron?” (For Jews don’t associate with people from Shomron.)

10  Yeshua answered her, “If you knew God’s gift, that is, who it is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink of water, ‘then you would have asked him; and he would have given you living water.”

11  She said to him, “Sir, you don’t have a bucket, and the well is deep; so where do you get this ‘living water’?

12  You aren’t greater than our father Ya‘akov, are you? He gave us this well and drank from it, and so did his sons and his cattle.”

13  Yeshua answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again,

14  but whoever drinks the water I will give him will never be thirsty again! On the contrary, the water I give him will become a spring of water inside him, welling up into eternal life!”

15  “Sir, give me this water, ”the woman said to him, “so that I won’t have to be thirsty and keep coming here to draw water.”

16  He said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back.”

17  She answered, “I don’t have a husband.” Yeshua said to her, “You’re right, you don’t have a husband!

18  You’ve had five husbands in the past, and you’re not married to the man you’re living with now! You’ve spoken the truth!”

19  “Sir, I can see that you are a prophet, ”the woman replied.

20  “Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, but you people say that the place where one has to worship is in Yerushalayim.”

21  Yeshua said, “Lady, believe me, the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Yerushalayim.

22  You people don’t know what you are worshipping; we worship what we do know, because salvation comes from the Jews.

23  But the time is coming––indeed, it’s here now––when the true worshippers will worship the Father spiritually and truly, for these are the kind of people the Father wants worshipping him.

24  God is spirit; and worshippers must worship him spiritually and truly.”

25  The woman replied, “I know that Mashiach is coming” (that is, “the one who has been anointed”). “When he comes, he will tell us everything.”

26  Yeshua said to her, “I, the person speaking to you, am he.”

27 ¶  Just then, his talmidim arrived. They were amazed that he was talking with a woman; but none of them said, “What do you want?” or, “Why are you talking with her?”

SHOMRON ACCEPTS YESHUA

John 4:28 – 42

28  So the woman left her water–jar, went back to the town and said to the people there,

29  “Come, see a man who told me everything I’ve ever done. Could it be that this is the Messiah?”

30  They left the town and began coming toward him.

31  Meanwhile, the talmidim were urging Yeshua, “Rabbi, eat something.”

32  But he answered, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

33  At this, the talmidim asked one another, “Could someone have brought him food?”

34  Yeshua said to them, “My food is to do what the one who sent me wants and to bring his work to completion.

35  Don’t you have a saying, ‘Four more months and then the harvest’? Well, what I say to you is: open your eyes and look at the fields! They’re already ripe for harvest!

36  The one who reaps receives his wages and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that the reaper and the sower may be glad together––

37  for in this matter, the proverb, ‘One sows and another reaps, ‘holds true.

38  I sent you to reap what you haven’t worked for. Others have done the hard labor {the righteous who went before}, and you have benefited from their work.”

39  Many people from that town in Shomron put their trust in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me all the things I did.”

40  So when these people from Shomron came to him, they asked him to stay with them. He stayed two days,

41  and many more came to trust because of what he said.

42  They said to the woman, “We no longer trust because of what you said, because we have heard for ourselves. We know indeed that this man really is the Savior of the world.”

HEALING OF OFFICER'S SON

John 4:45

45  But when he arrived in the Galil, the people there welcomed him, because they had seen all he had done at the festival {Pesach} in Yerushalayim{and seeing how He cleansed the Mikdash}; since they had been there too.

Luke 4:14-15

14 ¶  Yeshua returned to the Galil in the power of the Spirit, and reports about him spread throughout the countryside.

15  He taught in their synagogues, and everyone respected him.

John 4:46-53

46  He went again to Kanah in the Galil, where he had turned the water into wine. An officer in the royal service was there; his son was ill in K’far–Nachum.

47  This man, on hearing that Yeshua had come from Y’hudah to the Galil, went and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

48  Yeshua answered, “Unless you people see signs and miracles, you simply will not trust!”

49  The officer said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”

50  Yeshua replied, “You may go, your son is alive.” The man believed what Yeshua said and left.

51  As he was going down, his servants met him with the news that his son was alive

52  So he asked them at what time he had gotten better; and they said, “The fever left him yesterday at one o’clock in the afternoon.”

53  The father knew that that was the very hour when Yeshua had told him, “Your son is alive”; and he and all his household trusted.

REJECTION IN NATZERET

Mark 6:1-6

1 ¶  Then Yeshua left and went to his home town, and his talmidim followed him.

2  On Shabbat he started to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astounded. They asked, “Where did this man get all this? What is this wisdom he has been given? What are these miracles worked through him?

3  Isn’t he just the carpenter? the son of Miryam? the brother of Ya‘akov and Yosi and Y’hudah and Shim‘on? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.

4  But Yeshua said to them. “The only place people don’t respect a prophet is in his home town, among his own relatives, and in his own house.”

5  So he could do no miracles there, other than lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.

6  He was amazed at their lack of trust. Then he went through the surrounding towns and villages, teaching.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF HIS MINISTRY

Luke 4:16-30

16  Now when he went to Natzeret, where he had been brought up, on Shabbat he went to the synagogue as usual. He stood up to read,

17  and he was given the scroll of the prophet Yesha‘yahu. Unrolling the scroll, he found the place where it was written,

18  “The Spirit of ADONAI is upon me; therefore he has anointed me to announce Good News to the poor; he has sent me to proclaim freedom for the imprisoned and renewed sight for the blind, to release those who have been crushed,

19  to proclaim a year of the favor of ADONAI.” {#Isa 61:1–2 58:6}

20  After closing the scroll and returning it to the shammash, he sat down; and the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on him.

21  He started to speak to them: “Today, as you heard it read, this passage of the Tanakh was fulfilled!”

22  Everyone was speaking well of him and marvelling that such appealing words were coming from his mouth. They were even asking, “Can this be Yosef’s son?”

23  Then Yeshua said to them, “No doubt you will quote to me this proverb––‘“Doctor, cure yourself!” We’ve heard about all the things that have been going on over in K’far–Nachum; now do them here in your home town!’

24  Yes!” he said, “I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home town.

25  It’s true, I’m telling you––when Eliyahu was in Isra’el, and the sky was sealed off for threeand– a–half years, so that all the Land suffered a severe famine, there were many widows;

26  but Eliyahu was sent to none of them, only to a widow in Tzarfat in the land of Tzidon.

27  Also there were many people with tzara‘at in Isra’el during the time of the prophet Elisha; but not one of them was healed, only Na‘aman the Syrian.” {By this Yeshua was saying not all of Elohim's blessings were reserved for those who considered themselves His covenant people. It is trust in Elohim that brings forth the blessing.}

28  On hearing this, everyone in the synagogue was filled with fury.

29  They rose up, drove him out of town and dragged him to the edge of the cliff on which their town was built, intending to throw him off.

30  But he walked right through the middle of the crowd and went away.

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}
