23214	MAT 1:1	The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham:
23215	MAT 1:2	Abraham fathered Isaac, Isaac fathered Jacob, and Jacob fathered Judah and his brothers.
23216	MAT 1:3	Judah fathered Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez fathered Hezron, and Hezron fathered Ram.
23217	MAT 1:4	Ram fathered Amminadab, Amminadab fathered Nahshon, and Nahshon fathered Salmon.
23218	MAT 1:5	Salmon fathered Boaz by Rahab, Boaz fathered Obed by Ruth, Obed fathered Jesse,
23220	MAT 1:7	Solomon fathered Rehoboam, Rehoboam fathered Abijah, and Abijah fathered Asa.
23221	MAT 1:8	Asa fathered Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat fathered Joram, and Joram fathered Uzziah.
23222	MAT 1:9	Uzziah fathered Jotham, Jotham fathered Ahaz, and Ahaz fathered Hezekiah.
23223	MAT 1:10	Hezekiah fathered Manasseh, Manasseh fathered Amon, and Amon fathered Josiah.
23225	MAT 1:12	And after the captivity in Babylon, Jeconiah fathered Shealtiel, and Shealtiel fathered Zerubbabel.
23226	MAT 1:13	Zerubbabel fathered Abiud, Abiud fathered Eliakim, and Eliakim fathered Azor.
23227	MAT 1:14	Azor fathered Zadok, Zadok fathered Achim, and Achim fathered Eliud.
23228	MAT 1:15	Eliud fathered Eleazar, Eleazar fathered Matthan, and Matthan fathered Jacob.
23229	MAT 1:16	And Jacob fathered Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ.
23230	MAT 1:17	So all the generations from Abraham till David were fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon were fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ were fourteen generations.
23231	MAT 1:18	Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
23232	MAT 1:19	Then Joseph her husband, being righteous and not wanting to disgrace her, purposed to put her away secretly.
23233	MAT 1:20	But while he was thinking about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take unto you Mary your wife, for that which is begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit.
23234	MAT 1:21	And she shall bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins.”
23235	MAT 1:22	Now all this came to pass that the thing spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, saying,
23236	MAT 1:23	“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
23237	MAT 1:24	Then Joseph, having been aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had ordered him and took to him his wife,
23239	MAT 2:1	Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East arrived in Jerusalem,
23240	MAT 2:2	saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East, and have come to worship Him.”
23241	MAT 2:3	But when Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
23242	MAT 2:4	And having gathered together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired from them where the Christ would be born.
23243	MAT 2:5	So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet:
23244	MAT 2:6	‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you shall come forth a Ruler who will shepherd My people Israel.’ ”
23245	MAT 2:7	Then Herod, secretly having called the wise men, ascertained from them the time that the star appeared.
23246	MAT 2:8	And having sent them to Bethlehem, he said, “Go and search diligently for the young Child, and as soon as you find Him, report back to me, so that I also may come and worship Him.”
23247	MAT 2:9	When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was.
23248	MAT 2:10	And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
23249	MAT 2:11	And having come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and falling down, they worshiped Him, and opening their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
23250	MAT 2:12	And having been divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod, they withdrew into their own country by another way.
23251	MAT 2:13	Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, and take along the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you; for Herod is about to seek the young Child to destroy Him.”
23252	MAT 2:14	When he arose, he took along the young Child and His mother by night and withdrew into Egypt,
23253	MAT 2:15	and was there until the death of Herod, so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”
23254	MAT 2:16	Then Herod, seeing that he had been deceived by the wise men, was greatly enraged; and he sent and executed all the boys in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men.
23255	MAT 2:17	Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
23256	MAT 2:18	“A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”
23257	MAT 2:19	Now after Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
23258	MAT 2:20	saying, “Arise, and take with you the young Child and His mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the life of the young Child have died.”
23259	MAT 2:21	Then he rose and took along the young Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.
23260	MAT 2:22	But hearing that Archelaus was reigning over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being divinely instructed in a dream, he withdrew into the regions of Galilee.
23261	MAT 2:23	And when he arrived, he settled down in a city called Nazareth, so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, “He shall be called a Nazarene.”
23262	MAT 3:1	In those days John the Baptist arrived preaching in the wilderness of Judea,
23263	MAT 3:2	and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!”
23264	MAT 3:3	For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: “A voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make His paths straight.’ ”
23265	MAT 3:4	And John himself had his clothing made from camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
23266	MAT 3:5	Then Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan were going out to him
23267	MAT 3:6	and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
23268	MAT 3:7	But seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
23269	MAT 3:8	Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance,
23270	MAT 3:9	and do not think to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham out of these stones.
23271	MAT 3:10	But even now, the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.
23272	MAT 3:11	I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit,
23273	MAT 3:12	whose winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His threshing floor, and He will gather His wheat into the barn; but the chaff He will burn up with unquenchable fire.”
23274	MAT 3:13	Then Jesus arrived from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him.
23275	MAT 3:14	But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I have need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”
23276	MAT 3:15	But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he permitted Him.
23277	MAT 3:16	And having been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on Him.
23278	MAT 3:17	And behold, a voice came out of the heavens, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
23279	MAT 4:1	Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the devil.
23280	MAT 4:2	And having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.
23281	MAT 4:3	And approaching Him, the tempter said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones may become bread.”
23282	MAT 4:4	But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’ ”
23283	MAT 4:5	Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple,
23284	MAT 4:6	and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge concerning you,’ and, ‘In their hands they will lift you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ”
23285	MAT 4:7	Jesus said to him, “Again, it is written, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ”
23286	MAT 4:8	Again, the devil took Him up on a very high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory.
23287	MAT 4:9	And he said to Him, “All these things will I give You, if You will fall down and worship me.”
23288	MAT 4:10	Then Jesus said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him alone you shall serve.’ ”
23289	MAT 4:11	Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.
23290	MAT 4:12	Now when Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, He departed into Galilee.
23291	MAT 4:13	And leaving Nazareth behind, He came and settled down in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,
23292	MAT 4:14	so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:
23293	MAT 4:15	“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
23294	MAT 4:16	the people sitting in darkness have seen a great light, and to those who sat in the land and the shadow of death, light has dawned.”
23295	MAT 4:17	From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
23296	MAT 4:18	Now as He was walking alongside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
23297	MAT 4:19	Then He said to them, “Come after Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
23299	MAT 4:21	And having gone forth from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. And He called them.
23300	MAT 4:22	And immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
23301	MAT 4:23	And Jesus went about all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every illness among the people.
23302	MAT 4:24	And the report of Him went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all those who were sick, and who were suffering with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them.
23303	MAT 4:25	And large crowds followed Him from Galilee and from Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
23304	MAT 5:1	And seeing the crowds, He went up into the mountain, and after He had sat down, His disciples approached Him.
23305	MAT 5:2	And opening His mouth, He began to teach them, saying:
23306	MAT 5:3	“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
23307	MAT 5:4	“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
23308	MAT 5:5	“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
23309	MAT 5:6	“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.
23310	MAT 5:7	“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
23311	MAT 5:8	“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
23312	MAT 5:9	“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
23313	MAT 5:10	“Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
23314	MAT 5:11	“Blessed are you whenever they revile you, and they persecute you, and they say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.
23315	MAT 5:12	“Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
23316	MAT 5:13	“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt becomes tasteless, with what shall it be salted? It is then good for nothing but to be cast out and to be trampled underfoot by men.
23318	MAT 5:15	Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines on everything in the house.
