Scribes

And it came to pass, on one of the days, that, he, was teaching, and there were sitting Pharisees and Teachers of the law, who had come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and Jerusalem; and, the power of the Lord, was there, that he might heal.

And they who were reclining together, began to be saying within themselves - Who is, this, that, even forgiveth sins?

Now there were certain of the Scribes there, sitting and deliberating in their hearts, -

Blasphemies

And, he that contemptuously uttereth the name of Yahweh, shall be, surely put to death, all the assembly shall, surely stone, him, - as the sojourner so the home-born, when he contemptuously-uttereth the Name, he shall be put to death.

then let two reckless men take their seats before him, that they may bear witness against him, saying, Thou hast reviled God and king! then shall ye carry him forth and stone him, that he die.

And lo! certain of the scribes, said within themselves, - This man, speaketh profanely!

Then, the High-priest rent asunder his garments, saying - He hath spoken profanely! What further need have we, of witnesses? Lo! now, ye have heard the profanity!

The Jews answered him - Concerning a noble work, are we not stoning thee; but concerning profane speech, - and because, thou, being, a man, art making thyself, God.

Then, they set on men who were saying - We have heard him speaking profane things against Moses and God.

Who can

So Yahweh passed before him, and proclaimed, - Yahweh, Yahweh, A God of compassion and favour, - Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and faithfulness:

My sin, would I own unto thee, and, mine iniquity, not hide, I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Yahweh, And, thou, didst forgive the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

Let them be as chaff before the wind, with, the messenger of Yahweh, pressing them on:

Who forgiveth all thine iniquity, Who healeth all thy diseases;

But, with thee, is forgiveness, that thou mayest be revered.

Come, I pray you, and let us settle the disputer Saith Yahweh, - Though your sins be found like scarlet, As snow, shall they be made white, Though they appear red like crimson, As wool, shall they become.

I - I, am he that is ready, To wipe out thy transgressions for mine own sake, - And, thy sins, not remember.

O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me, I have wiped out, As with a thick cloud, thy transgressions, And as with a broad cloud, thy sins, - Return unto me, for I have redeemed thee.

To the Lord our God, belong compassions, and forgivenesses, - for we have rebelled against him;

He will again have compassion upon us, he will subdue our iniquities, - Thou wilt cast - into the depths of the sea - all their sins.

Who shall bring an accusation against the chosen ones of God? God, who declareth righteous?
