    Many anti-Missionaries are fond of telling us that what Yeshua taught was blasphemous, or
anti-Judaism. Many repeat that because that's what they've been told. Well, Yeshua teachings
are just that of what Judaism has always believed Messiah's teachings should be: deep,
profound, and illuminating.

Here's some of Yeshua teachings, contrasted with the sages of the Talmud and beyond.

Yeshua
Talmud

Mattit'yahu 5:7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

Shabbes 151b Who is merciful to others, mercy is shown to him by Heaven, while he who is not merciful to others, mercy is not shown to him by Heaven.

Mattit'yahu 5:37 But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.

Bava Metzia 49a But it is to teach you that your ‘yes’ should be just and your ‘no’ should be just!

Mattit'yahu 7:3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?

Baba Bathra 15b If the judge said to a man, ‘Take the splinter from between your teeth,’20 he would retort, ‘Take the beam from between your eyes.

Mattit'yahu 6:31-32Therefore do not worry, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or What shall we wear?32For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

Sotah 48b For it has been taught: R. Eliezer the Great declares: Whoever has a piece of bread in his basket and Says. ‘What shall I eat tomorrow?’ belongs only to them who are little in faith.

Mattit'yahu 9:37-38 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

Ur 10:2 Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

Pirke Avot 2:15 R. Tarfon said: The day is short, and the word [to be performed] is much; and the workmen are indolent, but the reward is much; and the master of the house is insistent.

You received without paying, give without pay.

Bechoroth 29a Just as I teach gratuitously, so you should teach gratuitously.

Mattit'yahu 23:12 And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

Bava Metzia 85b But [it means that] he who humbles himself for the sake of the Torah in this world is magnified in the next; and he who makes himself a servant to the [study of the] Torah in this world becomes free in the next.

Mattit'yahu 5:10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

R. Abbahu said: A man should always strive to be rather of the persecuted than of the persecutors as there is none among the birds more persecuted than doves and pigeons, and yet Scripture made them [alone] eligible for the altar.

Mark 2:27 And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. 28Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.

R. Jonathan b. Joseph said: For it is holy unto you; I.e., it [the Sabbath] is committed to your hands, not you to its hands.
