The early days of 29 AD on the Roman calendar began with Yahusha HaMashiach (Yahusha the Anointed, also known as Messiah) walked around all the towns even the ones with walls and all the hamlets teaching the assemblage of persons in the meeting places of their synagogues and heralding like a public crier the good message of the Gospel from the royalty, realm and rule and relieving their disease of every malady and every softness of debility among the people. When He saw the throngs of rabble His bowels yearned with sympathy and He felt deep pity for them because they were relaxed and dispersed like with a quick toss as sheep without possessing a shepherd. Then He related in words to His twelve, Indeed the reaping of the crop is great but the teachers who toil are few in number. Therefore, beg and petition to the Supreme Authority of the reaping of the crop in the manner that He may send toiling teachers into His reaping of the crop. That evening they prayed to Yahuah that more teachers would be provided.

The next morning as the sun was rising in the east with its brilliant light rays, Yahusha summoned near to Himself His twelve apostles, the ambassadors of the Gospel. He gave to those twelve delegated influence over demonic spirits. Then Yahusha sent them out two by two to teach and herald like a public crier the good news of the Gospel. Having issued forth from the Messiah, the Twelve heralded like a public crier the divine truth of the Gospel that men should think differently and reconsider their moral compunction. Many demonic beings were ejected and many lacking health were anointed with perfumed olive oil and were delivered of their diseases.

Now in those days, Tetrarch Herodes Antipater (Herod Antipas) the sovereign of the territory of Galiylah (Galilee) worried because of the authority and character of the name of Yahusha became externally apparent and shining publicly. Some of the citizens were claiming that Yowchanan Matbyl (John the Baptist) had aroused from death and because of this the miraculous power became active in Yahusha. Even different ones said that He was Ysha’Yah (Isaiah) and yet others said that He was an inspired prophet or in the manner of one of the inspired prophets. But hearing what was being said amongst the citizenry, Tetrarch Herodes Antipater said, "This One is because I decapitated Yowchanan Matbyl (John the Baptist). He is the One. He has been aroused from the sleep of death!" Then the circumstances surrounding his relationship with Yowchanan Matbyl (John the Baptist) played back in the deep recesses of his mind as the Tetrarch relived once again what had happened.

Tetrarch Herodes stared blankly into thin air not hearing anything, not feeling anything or even seeing anything except what had happened a year ago. Tetrarch Herodes Antipater himself sent out and had Yowchanan Matbyl (John the Baptist) seized and retained and bound him under the guard place because of Herodias the wife of Philippos, his brother, because Herodes Antipater had wed her. Yowchanan Matbyl (John the Baptist) had related in words in public and to Tetrarch Herodes in person, It is not right being out in public for you to possess the wife of your living brother! Herodias kept a grudge against him and wanted to kill him outright but she was not able. Tetrarch Herodes Antipater was frightened of Yowchanan Matbyl (John the Baptist), knowing him to be innocent in character and holy in actions and a blameless and sacred man and kept him from ruin. Many times Herodes Antipater would go and listen to Yowchanan Matbyl (John the Baptist) and with sweet pleasure he enjoyed listening to him.

Then a well timed opportune day came into being when Herodes Antipater on his birthday ceremonies made a dinner as the chief meal in the evening for his noblemen and men of high rank and the colonels, commanders of a thousand warriors and the most important men of the territory of Galiilah (Galilee). Tetrarch Herodes had his daughter of Herodias entertain and dance in a regular motion of a row and a ring and it was very pleasing to Herodes Antipater and those reclining in the company of him at the meal enticing them with exciting emotions. With a golden cup of wine in his hand, Herodes Antipater boastfully said to the little girl, Ask me whatever you wish and I will give it to you. Then he remembered swearing and declaring an oath to her of many things including, Whatever you ask of me I will give it to you up to half of my kingdom! Then he could plainly see his daughter run out of the palace great hall. However, he did not know that she ran straight to her mother, Herodias. She asked her mother, What should I ask for? Herodias quickly answered, "The head of Yowchanan Matbyl (John the Baptist)! Then at once, the little girl entered with the speed of eagerness the Great Hall and bowed her head towards Tetrarch Herodes Antipater. Herodes remembered saying to her, What is it my child? Then he remembered those chilling words coming out of her mouth in front of all those important guests, I wish that you give to me at once on a plate, the head of Yowchanan Matbyl (John the Baptist)." Once again he could see what seemed to be a thousand eyes staring at him as the air of the Great Hall seemed to get heavy and he could hardly breathe.

Once again he became intensely sad and grieved all around because of the limits of the oath and could once again feel the pressure of not wanting to disesteem or violate her and those reclining in the company with him at the meal. A dagger of guilt pierced his soul as he recalled the words of the command he gave to the life guardsman as he ordered the head of Yowchanan Matbyl (John the Baptist) be carried to them. Then the life guardsman went out of the Great Hall and decapitated Yowchanan Matbyl (John the Baptist) in the guarding place and returned to the Great Hall on a plate and gave it to the little girl who quickly exited the meal and gave it to her mother in her royal chambers. When Tetrarch Herodes Antipater came back to present reality, he found himself completely soaked with sweat from recalling his murder of Yowchanan Matbyl (John the Baptist) and then thinking that he had risen from the dead in the form of Yahusha who called Himself the Messiah of Yahuah. Then one of the palace advisors said that some of the Yhudiy (Jews) claim that it was not Yowchanan Matbyl (John the Baptist) but rather the risen prophet Eliyah (Elijah). Herodes Antipater who governed a fourth part of the Roman eastern territory questioned, "I decapitated Yowchanan Matbyl (John the Baptist) but who is this about whom I hear such vast things?" From that day on Herodes Antipater sought to see Yahusha.

When spring arrived, the Chosen Twelve being delegated ambassadors of the Gospel and commissioners of the Messiah with miraculous powers convened back together to Yahusha and announced to Him all things even what they did and what they taught. He said to them, Come here by yourselves privately down to a lonesome wasteland location near the town of Beyth-Tsayad (Bethsaida-meaning House of Fishermen) and be refreshed for a little while. He wanted to withdraw privately because those coming and those withdrawing were many and they did not even possess the opportunity and leisure of eating and to have a good time. So they went off into a lonesome wasteland location in a sailing vessel privately. The throng of rabble saw them withdrawing and many recognized Him. Therefore they followed the sailing vessel along the shore by walking from all the towns and rushed together hastily to assemble there and preceded the sailing vessels to the wasteland and convened to Him. Yahusha went out of the sailing vessel to the shore and saw the large throng of rabble so he began teaching them. Among them were those who possessed a requirement of medical service and healing so He cured them.

Even now the hours of teaching became many as the day commenced to decline in the west, so His Chosen Twelve approached and came near to Him and said, ‘This is a lonesome wasteland location and even now the hour is late. Dismiss them in order that in departing to the circle of fields of the country farms and hamlets they all go on to the market to purchase for themselves raised loaves of bread and may halt there for the night for lodging. They do not possess anything to eat. But Yahusha responded to them, They are not in any condition or required to go off! You give them something to eat! Philippos (Phillip) from where may we purchase in the market raised loaves of bread in order that these may eat? Philippos (Phillip) answered, Having just departed from there, should we go to the market to purchase two hundred denarii ($32.00) worth of raised loaves of bread and give them something to eat? That is eight months worth of wages. Yahusha sighed and asked, How many raised loaves of bread do you possess? Withdraw and see. They looked and reported back to Him. Andreas (Andrew) the brother of Kepha (Peter) said, There is a little boy here in this spot who has five loaves of bread and two fish but what are these to this vast number of people?"

So He ordered them in the crowd all too lean back on the green vegetation of the pasture which was like a garden court in that lonesome wasteland. They laid down and leaned back row by row looking like an onion patch in a garden plot by hundreds and by fifties. Yahusha took the five loves of raised bread and the two fish, looked up to heaven, the eternal abode of Yahuah and blessed by invoking a benediction upon it and divided the loaves of raised bread and gave them to His Twelve, in order that they may present the food in front of them. The two fish He parted and shared with all. All ate and were gorged in abundance. Then Yahusha ordered His pupils, Collect together the excess bits of pieces that nothing should perish. They took up the bits and pieces filling twelve small baskets completely covering them up along with the fish, one basket for each of the Chosen Twelve. Those who were eating the raised loaves bread were about five thousand men not counting the women, children, infants and the half grown boys and girls. The human beings saw the supernatural indication of a miracle that Yahusha did and said, This is truly the Inspired Prophet coming into the world!

Yahusha knew that these human beings were about to come and seize Him in order that they could make him King. Therefore, that evening Yahusha at once compelled his Twelve along with some of the pupils to walk on into the sailing vessel and to precede Him across the lake to the town of Kaphernachuwm (Capernaum), so that He could dismiss the throng of rabble. Having dismissed and saying adieu to the throng of rabble commending them to Yahuah, He went up to the mountain to be by Himself for privacy to pray and worship Yahuah. When deep nightfall came, He was there alone. The sailing vessel was even now in the middle of sea, tortured by the billowing and curved waves that were busting and toppling, because the wind was antagonistic. Yet, Yahusha was still on the soil of the mountain. He saw them being tortured in the pulling of oars against the antagonistic wind blowing opposite of them and the billowing waves. Therefore, at the fourth division of the night, sometime between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. before dawn, Yahusha went off toward them walking on the sea. His pupils were stirred and agitated like the rolling water in a boiling pot when they saw Him like a glowing phantom walking at large and treading all around the sea, screaming like croaking ravens and shrieking loudly, It is a ghost from the dead! At once, Yahusha talked to them saying, Have courage, I EXIST! Do not be frightened!

Shim’own Kepha (Simon Peter) with a quivering voice said, Master, if you are Yahusha then order me to come out to You upon the rainy waters! Yahusha said, Come! So, Shim’own Kepha (Simon Peter) descended from the sailing vessel and walked at large upon the rainy waters to go towards Yahusha. However, as soon as he took his eyes off of the Messiah and focused on the forcible wind, he was frightened and commenced to plunge down and be submerged in the rough waters. He began to scream like a croaking raven shrieking out loud, Master, deliver and protect me! At once Yahusha extended His hand and seized him for help and related in words to him, You incredulous person, lacking confidence in the Messiah, why did you waver in your opinion of Me? When they came into the sailing vessel, the wind relaxed and reduced its strength. The ones in the sailing vessel prostrated themselves in homage giving reverence and adoration to Him saying, It’s true! You are the Son of Yahuah! They had not comprehended the example of the five raised loaves of bread and two fish that fed the five thousand because the thoughts and feelings of their hearts were rendered stupid and calloused.

On the next day, the throng of rabble standing across the sea had seen that there was not a different boat, except one and that Yahusha had not entered into the company with His Twelve into the boat but His pupils departed alone. However, different boats came from the town of Tiberias near the location where they ate the raised loaves of bread after the Messiah had expressed gratitude by saying grace at the meal. Accordingly when the throng of rabble saw that Yahusha was not there or His pupils, also they walked into the sailing vessels themselves and came to the town of Kaphernachuwm (Capernaum) to see Yahusha. Having found Him across the sea, they said to Him, Master, when did you arrive here? Yahusha responded and said to them, "Firmly and surely, I relate to you, you seek Me not because you saw supernatural indications but because you ate the raised loaves of
