Tanakh
the Old Testament translated according to the
Traditional Hebrew Text.
Power New Testament by Rev. Morford. The New Testament
translated from the original Greek with all the Jewish idioms which revel
how Christ "fulfilled the Law."
Sample passages:
Mark 5:25-42. And a woman who had a
flow of blood for twelve years and suffered much under many physicians and
spent everything beyond her means and was not helped but rather became
worse, when she heard about Jesus, as she came from behind the crowd she
touched the fringe of His prayer shawl: for she was saying that "If I
could just touch His prayer shawl I will be saved." And immediately
the flow of her blood dried and she knew that her body was healed from the
plague. And her blood dried and she knew that her body was healed from the
plague. And immediately Jesus perceived in Himself that the power left
Him. Turning in the crowd He was saying, "Who touched My prayer shawl?"
And His disciples were saying to Him, "You see the crowd pressing around
You and You say, 'Who touched Me?'" And He was looking around to see the
one who did this. And the woman, who was afraid and trembling, since she
knew what happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him all
the truth. And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you: you
must continually go in peace. You are cured from your affliction."
While He was still speaking they came from the home
of the synagogue leader, saying that "Your daughter has died: why are you
still bothering the teacher?" But when Jesus overheard the message being
spoken, He said to the leader, "You must stop being afraid, you must only
continually believe." And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except
Peter and Jacob and John, the brother of Jacob. Then they cam to the house
on the leader, and He saw turmoil and crying and much wailing, and when He
entered He said to them, "Why are you distressed and weeping? The child
did not die but is sleeping." And they were laughing at Him. And after He
threw them all out He took along the father and the mother of the child
and the ones with Him and they went in where the child was. And when He
took the hand of the child He said to her, "Prayer shawl rise!" then
immediately the girl rose and walked: for she was twelve years old. And
they were right then greatly astonished. And He gave them strict orders so
that no one might know this. and He said to give her something to eat.
Footnote (v.41) The Greek text says
"Talita coum!" then includes a statement saying "which is translated
'Girl, I say to you, rise.'" This purports to be a translation of "Talita
coum!" and must have been added by a well-intentioned copier who did not
understand, mistaking talitha, the Greek spelling of talit, for the
Aramaic talyiata, meaning young woman. "Talita coum" is Hebrew for "Prayer
shawl rise!" See Prayer Shawl in Glossary.
Glossary - Prayer Shawl excerpts:
Rabbis centuries ago made a list of 613 commandments, including the
promises of God, so in Jesus' day people would see all the power of God in
that fringe, called tsitsit in Hebrew, when the prayer shawl was worn by
an anointed man of God. That is why the woman with the bloody issue
reached for the fringe... Jesus used the Prayer shawl in Mark 5:41, the
rising of Jairus' daughter. We know that Jesus was wearing a talit at the
time because of the reference to it regarding the woman with the bloody
issue, after Jesus and Jairus had started on the way to Jairus' home.
...We know that His use of the talit in this miracle and His speaking to
the talit would have been appropriate and would have been understood by
those with Him. (See
Numbers 15:37-41) In that case He would have placed His prayer shawl
over the girl, then spoken to the prayer shawl....
Matthew 5:18
For truly I say to you: until the sky and the Earth
would pass away, not one yod or one vav could ever pass away from the
Torah, until everything would come to pass.
Footnotes (v.18): The yod
is the smallest letter of the Hebrew alphabet. See Yod in Glossary. The
vav is the second smallest letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The yod and the
vav are called "soft letters" because they can be left out of a word and
the word not be considered misspelled. See Yod in Glossary.

Daniel 14:1-4: At that time, the
great prince, Michael, who stands beside the sons of your people, will
appear. It will be a time of trouble, the like of which has never been
since the nation came into being. At that time, your people will be
rescued,
all who are found inscribed in the book. Many of those that sleep in
the dust of the earth will awake, some to eternal life, other to
reproaches, to everlasting abhorrence. And the knowledgeable will be
radiant like the bright expanse of the sky, and those who lead the many to
righteousness will be like the stars forever and ever. But you, Daniel,
keep the words secret, and seal the book until the time of the end. Many
will range far and wide and knowledge will increase.
