1
And behold, after I had awoken from my stupor, I did pray unto my Elohim and did thank him, and he did speak unto me and did tell me to speak the things which I had heard and seen unto my wife.
2
And this I did, for many days she had been troubled because of the conversations which she had with her brother Laban.
3
And verily they had discussed many things pertaining to the prophets and the priests. For Sariah had suspected that it was given unto all men to know the face of Elohim. But this, Laban had said, was folly. For it was surly only given unto a very few to know YHVH. And this he proved through the scriptures and the many records which he had been given.
4
And this had troubled Sariah greatly, for her heart had leapt because of the words of her father and mine. And thus, I did go in unto her and did teach her all that YHVH had commanded I teach.
5
And behold, so great was her joy that she did go straightway into her closet and began to pray.
6
And not one day had passed before I did join my testimony with that of the prophets.
7
And now I give an account of my ministrings unto the people of Jerusalem, and that of the prophets, and the many miracles that we did both see and do according to the word of YHVH. And great is our Elohim. And I can hardly contain my joy because of Him.
8
For He did find me, even in that great and lonely pit did He search me out. And He did forgive me of all my sins. Yea, even all. And He did take me and did clothe me in His righteousness. And I am His forever and ever.
9
And behold, all you ends of the earth, come unto the Mashiach Yehoshua and be saved. Verily, I say unto you, all you that read my words, all you that are sinners and are caught in a lie. Behold, I was among the most vile of sinners, and among the most loathsome. For I did lie and steal and did commit many whoredoms and abominations in the sight of my Elohim. Yet, He did save me.
10
And if He did forgive me of all my sins, how much more can He do for you, you who have not committed the tenth of the sins that I have?
11
And this is my testimony, that all, both bond and free, both male and female may come unto the Mashiach and be born of Him. And that all may receive of the fullness of the Father and partake of that fruit which is sweet above all other fruits.
12
And now I begin the record of my ministry unto the people of Jerusalem.
