Matthew 3:1New Messianic Version BibleIn those days came Yochanan [Yah is gracious] the Baptizer preaching in the wilderness of Y’hudah [Praise]. See the chapter |
“because Yochanan [Yah is gracious] came to you in the Way of righteousness and you did not believe him. But tax collectors and harlots believed him and you saw it and did not turn in repentance. Also afterward you did not repent to believe him. To the one who has ears to hear let him hear in disgrace.”
And the children of the Kayin [Possession], Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters]’ father in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] into the wilderness of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], which [lies] in the south of ‘Arad [A Wild Ass]; and they went and dwelt among the people.
And now, behold, the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke this word unto Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters], while [the children of] Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I [am] this day eighty and five years old.
