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,
23219	MAT 1:6	and Jesse fathered David the king. David the king fathered Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah.
23220	MAT 1:7	Solomon fathered Rehoboam, Rehoboam fathered Abijah, and Abijah fathered Asa.
23224	MAT 1:11	Josiah fathered Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the captivity in Babylon.
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.
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,
23238	MAT 1:25	but did not know her till she brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus.
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.’ ”
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.
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,
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.”
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.
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?
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.
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?”
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.”
