23214 | MAT 1:1 | A genealogy of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham: |
23215 | MAT 1:2 | Abraham begot Isaac, then Isaac begot Jacob, then Jacob begot Judah and his brothers; |
23216 | MAT 1:3 | then Judah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, then Perez begot Hezron, then Hezron begot Ram; |
23217 | MAT 1:4 | then Ram begot Amminadab, then Amminadab begot Nahshon, then Nahshon begot Salmon; |
23218 | MAT 1:5 | then Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, then Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, then Obed begot Jesse, |
23219 | MAT 1:6 | then Jesse begot David the king. Then King David begot Solomon by her who was of Uriah, |
23220 | MAT 1:7 | then Solomon begot Rehoboam, then Rehoboam begot Abijah, then Abijah begot Asa; |
23221 | MAT 1:8 | then Asa begot Jehoshaphat, then Jehoshaphat begot Joram, then Joram begot Uzziah; |
23222 | MAT 1:9 | then Uzziah begot Jotham, then Jotham begot Ahaz, then Ahaz begot Hezekiah; |
23223 | MAT 1:10 | then Hezekiah begot Manasseh, then Manasseh begot Amon, then Amon begot Josiah; |
23224 | MAT 1:11 | then Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers about the time of the Babylonian captivity. |
23225 | MAT 1:12 | After the Babylonian captivity Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, then Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel; |
23226 | MAT 1:13 | then Zerubbabel begot Abiud, then Abiud begot Eliakim, then Eliakim begot Azor; |
23227 | MAT 1:14 | then Azor begot Zadok, then Zadok begot Achim, then Achim begot Eliud; |
23228 | MAT 1:15 | then Eliud begot Eleazar, then Eleazar begot Matthan, then Matthan begot Jacob; |
23229 | MAT 1:16 | then Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom was begotten Jesus, who is called Christ. |
23230 | MAT 1:17 | So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David until the Babylonian captivity are fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian captivity until the Christ are fourteen generations. |
23231 | MAT 1:18 | Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they joined together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit. |
23232 | MAT 1:19 | Then Joseph her husband, being a just man and not wanting to humiliate her publicly, decided to repudiate her secretly. |
23233 | MAT 1:20 | But while he pondered these things, wow, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary as your wife, because that which has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. |
23234 | MAT 1:21 | And she will give birth to a Son and you will call His name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.” |
23235 | MAT 1:22 | Now all this happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet should be fulfilled, namely: |
23236 | MAT 1:23 | “Behold, the virgin will become pregnant and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel”, which being translated is, ‘God with us’. |
23237 | MAT 1:24 | Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as that angel of the Lord commanded him and received his wife, |
23238 | MAT 1:25 | but did not know her until she had given birth to her son, the firstborn. 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 [magi] from the East came into Jerusalem, |
23240 | MAT 2:2 | saying: “Where is he 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 it he became agitated, and all Jerusalem with him. |
23242 | MAT 2:4 | And gathering all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. |
23243 | MAT 2:5 | So they said to him: “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it stands written by the prophet: |
23246 | MAT 2:8 | And directing them to Bethlehem he said, “When you get there, search carefully for the young child; and should you find him, bring back word to me, so that I also may go and worship him.” |
23247 | MAT 2:9 | So having heard the king they departed, and there was the star that they had seen in the East! It went before them until it arrived and stopped above where the young Child was. |
23250 | MAT 2:12 | Then, having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their own country by a different road. |
23251 | MAT 2:13 | Now when they had departed, again, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream saying: “Get up, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt and stay there until I tell you; because Herod is about to seek the young Child to destroy Him!” |
23252 | MAT 2:14 | So he got up and took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt. |
23253 | MAT 2:15 | And he was there until the death of Herod, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet should be fulfilled, namely: “Out of Egypt I called my Son.” |
23254 | MAT 2:16 | Then Herod, when he saw that he had been deceived by the wise men, became very angry, and he sent out and killed all the boys who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men. |
23255 | MAT 2:17 | Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, namely: |
23256 | MAT 2:18 | “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning; Rachel weeping for her children and not wanting to be comforted, because they are no more.” |
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 warned in a dream he proceeded into the region of Galilee. |
23261 | MAT 2:23 | And upon arriving he settled in a city called Natsareth [Branch-town], so that what was spoken through the prophets should be fulfilled, that He would be called a Natsorean [Branch-man]. |
23262 | MAT 3:1 | Now in those days John the Baptizer began preaching in the wilderness of Judea |
23264 | MAT 3:3 | For this is he who was referred to by the prophet Isaiah, saying: “A voice crying-out, ‘Prepare in the wilderness the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.’ ” |
23265 | MAT 3:4 | Now John actually used clothes made from camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist; while his food was locusts and wild honey. |
23267 | MAT 3:6 | and 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 tipped you off to flee from the coming wrath? |
23270 | MAT 3:9 | and don't even think to say within yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father,’ for I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. |
