30. Now the Pharisees and their scribes were grumbling against Jesus' disciples saying: "Why are you eating and drinking with tax collectors and (preeminently) sinful people?

31. And Jesus replied to them: "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick.

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version)

[Luke 5:22-26]

22. But Jesus, knowing their thoughts and questionings, answered them: "Why do you question in your hearts?

23. "Which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say: 'Arise, and walk (about)?'

24. "But that you may know that the Son of Man Has the (power of) authority and right on earth to forgive sins, He said to the paralyzed man: "I say to you: 'Arise, pick up your litter (stretcher) and go to your own house!"

25. And instantly (the man) stood up before them, and picked up what he had been lying and went away to his house, recognizing and praising and thanking God.

24. "Maar dat julle kan weet dat die Seun van die Mens mag het om op aarde sondes te vergewe" - sê Hy vir die verlamde man: "Ek sê vir jou, staan op, neem jou bed op en gaan na jou huis toe."

25. Hy staan toe onmiddellik voor hulle op, neem die bed op waar hy op gelê het, en gaan na sy huis, terwyl hy God verheerlik.

19. And when they could not find how they might bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling, into the midst before Jesus. 

20. So when He saw their faith, He said to him: "Man, your sins are forgiven you!"

19. En toe hulle vanweë die skare geen kans sien om hom in te bring nie, klim hulle op die dak en laat hom met die bed afsak deur die panne, tussen die mense in en voor Jesus. 

20. En toe Hy hulle geloof sien, sê Hy vir hom: "Mens, jou sondes is jou vergewe."

41. Moreover, demons came out of people, shouting: "You are the Son of God!" But He rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Christ. 

42. At daybreak Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for Him, and when they came to where He was, they tried to keep Him from leaving them. 

43. But He said: "I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent."

42. En toe dit dag geword het, het Hy uitgegaan en na 'n verlate plek vertrek; en die skare het Hom gesoek en by Hom gekom en Hom teëgehou, dat Hy nie van hulle sou weggaan nie. 

43. Maar Hy het vir hulle gesê: "Ek moet aan die ander stede ook die evangelie van die koninkryk van God bring, want daarvoir is Ek gestuur. 

44. En Hy het verder in die sinagoges van Galiléa gepreek.

GOD IS NOT A MAN .... / GOD IS NIE 'N MENS ....

Tuesday 24 February 2015. 

GOD IS NOT A MAN THAT HE SHOULD LIE:

[Numbers 23:19]

God is not a man, that He should tell or act a lie, neither the Son of Man that He should feel repentance or compunction (for what He Has promised). Has He said and shall He not do it? Or Has He spoken and shall He not make it good?

[Titus 1:2, 3a)

2. (Resting) in the hope of eternal life, (life) which the ever truthful God Who cannot deceive (lie), promised before the world or the ages of time began. 

3a. And (now) in His own appointed time He Has made manifest (made known) His Word and revealed it as His message through the preaching entrusted to me .....

[Hebrews 6:18-20]

18. This was so that, by two unchageable things (His promise and His oath) in which it is impossible for God ever to prove false or deceive us, we who fled (to Him) for refuge, might have mighty indwelling strength and strong encouragement to grasp and hold fast the hope appointed for us, and set before (us).

19. (Now) we have this (hope) as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul (it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whoever steps out upon it -- a hope) that reaches farther and enters into (the very certainty of the veil, 

20. Where Jesus Has entered in for us (in advance), a Forerunner, having become a High Priest forever after the order (with the rank) of Melchizedek.

Dinsdag 24 Februarie 2015.

GOD IS NIE 'N MENS DAT HY SOU LIEG NIE:

[Numeri 23:19]

God is geen man dat Hy sou lieg nie; of 'n mensekind dat dit Hom sou berou nie. Sou Hy iets sê en dit nie doen nie, of spreek en dit nie waar maak nie? 

[Titus 1:2, 3a]

2. In die hoop van die ewige lewe wat God, wat nie kan lieg nie, van ewigheid af beloof het,

3a. En op die regte tyd Sy Woord bekend gemaak het deur die prediking, ...

[Hebreërs 6:18-20]

18. Sodat ons deur twee onveranderlike dinge, waarin dit onmoontlik is dat God sou lieg, kragtige bemoediging kan hê, ons wat ontvlug het, om vas te hou aan die hoop wat voorlê.

19. En ons het dit as anker van die siel wat veilig en vas is en ingaan tot binnekant die voorhangsel -

20. Waar Jesus as Voorloper vir ons ingegaan het, Hy wat volgens die orde van Melgisédek 'n hoëpriester geword het vir ewig.  

(God willing and by His marvellous grace and mercy, I will share the Word with you as often as I possibly can.    /

As dit die wil van God is en deur Sy wonderbare genade en barmhartigheid, sal ek die Woord met u deel so dikwels as wat ek moontlik kan.)

BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE STRENGTH IS IN THE LORD. / WELGELUKSALIG IS DIE MENS WIE SE STERKTE IN DIE HERE IS.

Weekend 21, 22 February 2015,  

WORD OF THE DAY:

BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE STRENGTH IS IN THE LORD: 

[Psalm 84:5-12]

5. Blessed, (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man whose strength is in You, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.  

6. Passing through the Valley of Weeping (Baca), they make it a place of springs; the early rain also fills (the pools) with blessings.  

7. They go from strength to strength (increasing in victorious power); each of them appears before God in Zion. 

8. O Lord of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear O God of Jacob! Selah. (Pause and calmly think of that)!

9. Behold our shield (the king as Your agent), O God, and look upon the face of Your anointed! 

10. For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand (anywhere else); I would rather be a doorkeeper and stand at the threshold in the house of my God, than to dwell (at ease) in the tents of wickedness. 

11. For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows (present) grace and favour and (future) glory (honour, splendour, and heavenly bliss)! No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. 

12. O Lord Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in You! (Leaning and believing on You, committing all and confidently looking to You, and that without fear or misgiving)!

Naweek 21, 22 Februarie 2015.

[Psalm 84:6-13]

6. Welgeluksalig is die mens wie se sterkte in U is, in wie se hart die gebaande weë is. 

7. As hulle deur die Droë Laagte trek, maak hulle dit 'n fonteinland; ook oordek die vroeë reën dit met seëninge. 

8. Hulle gaan van krag tot krag; elkeen van hulle sal verskyn voor God in Sion. 

9. Here, God van die leërskare; hoor my gebed, luister tog, O God van Jakob! Sela. 

10. O God, ons Skild, kyk en aanskou die aangesig van U gesalfde. 

11. Want 'n dag in U voorhowe is beter as 'n duisend; ek wil liewer by die drumpel staan in die huis van my God, as om te woon in die tente van goddeloosheid. 

12. Want die Here is 'n Son en Skild; die Here sal genade en eer gee; Hy sal die goeie nie onthou van die wat in opregtheid wandel  nie. 

13. Here van die leërskare, welgeluksalig is die mens wat op U vertrou!

[Luke 12:1-9]

1. In the meanwhile, when so many thousands of the people had gathered that they were trampling on one another, Jesus commenced by saying primarily to His disciples: "Be on your guard against the leaven (ferment) of the Pharisees, which is HYPOCRISY (producing unrest and violent agitation.)

2. "Nothing is (so closely) covered up that it will not be revealed, or hidden that it will not be known. 

3. "Whatever you have spoken in the darkness shall be heard and listened to in the light, and what you have whisprered in (people's) ears and behind closed doors will be proclaimed upon the housetops. 

4. "I tell you My friends, do not dread and be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have nothing more that they can do. 

5. "But I will warn you whom you should fear: fear Him Who, after killing, Has power to hurl into hell (Gehenna); yes, I say to you: fear Him!

6. "Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And (yet) not one of them is forgotten or uncared for in the presence of God. 

7. "But (even) the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be struck with fear or seized with alarm; you are of greater worth than many (flocks) of sparrows.  

8. "And I tell you: Whoever declares openly (speaking out freely) and he confesses that he is My worshiper and acknowledges Me before men, the Son of Man also will declare and confesss and acknowledge him before the angels of God. 

9. "But he who disowns and denies and rejects and refuses to acknowledge Me before men, will be disowned and denied and rejected and refused acknowledgement in the presence of the angels of God."

2. "En daar is niks bedek wat nie openbaar sal word nie, en verborge wat nie bekend sal word nie. 

3. "Daarom, alles wat julle in die donker gesê het, sal in die lig gehoor word; en wat julle in die oor gepraat het in die binnekamers, sal op die dakke verkondig word. 

4. "En Ek sê vir julle My vriende: moenie vrees vir die wat die liggaam doodmaak en daarna niks meer kan doen nie;

5. "Maar Ek sal julle wys wie julle moet vrees: vrees Hom wat, nadat Hy doodgemaak  het, by magte is om in die hel te werp; ja, Ek sê vir julle, vrees Hom. 

6. "Word vyf mossies nie vir twee stuiwers verkoop nie? En nie een van hulle is voor God vergeet nie. 

7. "Maar selfs die hare van julle hoof is almal getel. Wees dan nie bevrees nie: julle is meer werd as baie mossies. 

8. "En Ek sê vir julle: Elkeen wat My sal bely voor die mense, Hom sal die Seun van die Mens ook bely voor die engele van God. 

9. "Maar hy wat My verloën voor die mense, sal verloën word voor die engele van God."
