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 was the father of Isaac, Isaac was the father of Jacob, Jacob was the father of Judah and his brothers, |
23216 | MAT 1:3 | Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez was the father of Hezron, Hezron was the father of Ram, |
23217 | MAT 1:4 | Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, Nahshon was the father of Salmon, |
23218 | MAT 1:5 | Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, Obed was the father of Jesse, |
23219 | MAT 1:6 | and Jesse was the father of David the king. David the king was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, |
23220 | MAT 1:7 | Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam was the father of Abijah, Abijah was the father of Asa, |
23221 | MAT 1:8 | Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat was the father of Joram, Joram was the father of Uzziah, |
23222 | MAT 1:9 | Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham was the father of Ahaz, Ahaz was the father of Hezekiah, |
23223 | MAT 1:10 | Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh was the father of Amon, Amon was the father of Josiah, |
23224 | MAT 1:11 | and Josiah was the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the Babylonian resettlement. |
23225 | MAT 1:12 | After the Babylonian resettlement, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel was the father of Zerubbabel, |
23226 | MAT 1:13 | Zerubbabel was the father of Abiud, Abiud was the father of Eliakim, Eliakim was the father of Azor, |
23227 | MAT 1:14 | Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok was the father of Achim, Achim was the father of Eliud, |
23228 | MAT 1:15 | Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar was the father of Matthan, Matthan was the father of Jacob, |
23229 | MAT 1:16 | and Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. |
23230 | MAT 1:17 | So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David to the Babylonian resettlement fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian resettlement to the Christ fourteen generations. |
23231 | MAT 1:18 | Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. |
23232 | MAT 1:19 | Her husband Joseph, being righteous and not willing to shame her publicly, intended to send her away privately. |
23233 | MAT 1:20 | But as he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, Son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary as yoʋr wife, for the child that is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. |
23234 | MAT 1:21 | She will give birth to a son, and yoʋ shall name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” |
23236 | MAT 1:23 | “Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”). |
23237 | MAT 1:24 | When Joseph awoke from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him. He took his wife, |
23239 | MAT 2:1 | 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 the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.” |
23241 | MAT 2:3 | When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. |
23242 | MAT 2:4 | So he assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, and inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. |
23243 | MAT 2:5 | They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet, |
23244 | MAT 2:6 | ‘But yoʋ Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from yoʋ will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’ ” |
23246 | MAT 2:8 | He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word so that I too may come and worship him.” |
23247 | MAT 2:9 | They listened to the king and went on their way, and behold, the star that they had seen in the east went before them until it came and stopped over the place where the child was. |
23248 | MAT 2:10 | When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. |
23249 | MAT 2:11 | As they came into the house and saw the child with Mary his mother, they fell down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. |
23250 | MAT 2:12 | And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their own country by another way. |
23251 | MAT 2:13 | After they were gone, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Rise, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell yoʋ, for Herod is about to seek the child, to destroy him.” |
23252 | MAT 2:14 | So Joseph rose, took the child and his mother by night, and departed for Egypt, |
23254 | MAT 2:16 | When Herod saw that he had been fooled by the wise men, he was greatly enraged and sent men to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and in its vicinity who were two years old and under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men. |
23256 | MAT 2:18 | “A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing, weeping, and great lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be comforted, because they are no more.” |
23257 | MAT 2:19 | After Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, |
23258 | MAT 2:20 | saying, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the life of the child are dead.” |
23259 | MAT 2:21 | So Joseph rose, took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel. |
23260 | MAT 2:22 | But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee |
23261 | MAT 2:23 | and came and dwelt in a town called Nazareth, so that what had been spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled: “He will be called a Nazarene.” |
23262 | MAT 3:1 | In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, |
23263 | MAT 3:2 | “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has drawn near.” |
23264 | MAT 3:3 | This is the one who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, who said, “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.’ ” |
23265 | MAT 3:4 | Now John wore a garment of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. |
23266 | MAT 3:5 | Then Jerusalem was going out to him, and so were all Judea and all the region around the Jordan. |
23267 | MAT 3:6 | They were being baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins. |
23268 | MAT 3:7 | But when John saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? |
23270 | MAT 3:9 | And do not think that you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham. |
23272 | MAT 3:11 | “I baptize you with water for 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 | His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly clean out his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.” |
23274 | MAT 3:13 | Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. |
23275 | MAT 3:14 | But John tried to prevent him, saying, “I need to be baptized by yoʋ, and do yoʋ come to me?” |
23276 | MAT 3:15 | But Jesus answered him, “Permit it for now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John permitted him. |
23277 | MAT 3:16 | After being baptized, Jesus immediately went up from the water. And behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. |
23278 | MAT 3:17 | And behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” |
23280 | MAT 4:2 | After fasting for forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. |
23281 | MAT 4:3 | Then the tempter came up to him and said, “If yoʋ are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread.” |
23282 | MAT 4:4 | But Jesus answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ” |
23283 | MAT 4:5 | Then the devil took him to the holy city, set him on the pinnacle of the temple, |
23284 | MAT 4:6 | and said to him, “If yoʋ are the Son of God, throw yoʋrself down, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning yoʋ,’ and, ‘In their hands they will lift yoʋ up, so that yoʋ do not strike yoʋr foot against a stone.’ ” |
23285 | MAT 4:7 | Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘Yoʋ shall not put the Lord yoʋr God to the test.’ ” |
23286 | MAT 4:8 | Again, the devil took him to 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 I will give yoʋ, if yoʋ will fall down and worship me.” |
23288 | MAT 4:10 | Then Jesus said to him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘Yoʋ shall worship the Lord yoʋr God, and him only shall yoʋ 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 put in prison, he withdrew to Galilee. |
23291 | MAT 4:13 | And leaving Nazareth, he went and dwelt at Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, |
23293 | MAT 4:15 | “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, 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 on those sitting in the region and shadow of death light has dawned.” |
23295 | MAT 4:17 | From that time Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has drawn near.” |
23296 | MAT 4:18 | As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. |
23297 | MAT 4:19 | Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” |
23299 | MAT 4:21 | Going on 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. |
23301 | MAT 4:23 | Then Jesus went throughout all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people. |
23302 | MAT 4:24 | So the news about him went out into all of Syria, and the people brought him all who were sick with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics. And he healed them. |
23303 | MAT 4:25 | And large crowds followed him from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan. |
23304 | MAT 5:1 | When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on the mountain. And when he sat down, his disciples came to him. |
23305 | MAT 5:2 | Then he opened his mouth and taught 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 will be comforted. |
23308 | MAT 5:5 | Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. |
23309 | MAT 5:6 | Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. |
23310 | MAT 5:7 | Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. |
23311 | MAT 5:8 | Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. |
23312 | MAT 5:9 | Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. |
23313 | MAT 5:10 | Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. |
23314 | MAT 5:11 | Blessed are you when others reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. |
23315 | MAT 5:12 | Rejoice and be glad, for great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. |
23316 | MAT 5:13 | “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt loses its flavor, with what shall it be seasoned? It is no longer fit for anything but to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. |
23317 | MAT 5:14 | “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden, |
23318 | MAT 5:15 | nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines for all who are in the house. |
23320 | MAT 5:17 | “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. |
23321 | MAT 5:18 | For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter or stroke of a letter will by any means pass from the law until all is accomplished. |
23322 | MAT 5:19 | Therefore whoever does away with one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. |
23323 | MAT 5:20 | For I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. |
23324 | MAT 5:21 | “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘Yoʋ shall not murder,’ and, ‘Whoever murders will be subject to judgment.’ |
23325 | MAT 5:22 | But I say to you that everyone who is rashly angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Whoever says to his brother, ‘Yoʋ idiot,’ will be subject to the Sanhedrin. And whoever says, ‘Yoʋ fool,’ will be subject to the fires of hell. |
