23214	MAT 1:1	A genealogy of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham:
23219	MAT 1:6	then Jesse begot David the king. Then King David begot Solomon by her who was of Uriah,
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;
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.
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:
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.”
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:
23244	MAT 2:6	‘And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are not at all the least among the rulers of Judah, for out of you will come a Ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’ ”
23245	MAT 2:7	Then Herod, calling the wise men secretly, determined from them the time when the star appeared.
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.
23249	MAT 2:11	And coming 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	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.”
23257	MAT 2:19	Now Herod having died, there, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt
23258	MAT 2:20	saying: “Get up, take the young Child and His mother and go into the land of Israel, for those seeking the life of the young Child have died.”
23259	MAT 2:21	So he got up and took the young Child and His mother and went 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 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
23263	MAT 3:2	and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has come near!”
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.
23266	MAT 3:5	Then Jerusalem, all Judea and all the region of the Jordan went out to him,
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?
23269	MAT 3:8	Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance,
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.
23271	MAT 3:10	Indeed, already the ax is being laid to the root of the trees. So every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
23272	MAT 3:11	“I baptize you with water unto repentance, but the One coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with Holy Spirit.
23273	MAT 3:12	His winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
23274	MAT 3:13	Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.
23276	MAT 3:15	But in answer Jesus said to him, “Permit it now, because thus it is appropriate to us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he permitted Him.
23277	MAT 3:16	And having been baptized Jesus came up directly from the water, when wow, the heavens were opened to Him, and he saw the Spirit of God coming down like a dove and alighting upon Him.
23278	MAT 3:17	And wow, a Voice from the heavens saying, “This is my Son, the beloved, in whom I am always well pleased!”
23280	MAT 4:2	And having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.
23281	MAT 4:3	And coming to Him the tempter said, “Since you are the Son of God, command that these stones become loaves of bread.”
23282	MAT 4:4	But in answer He said, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but by every word coming out of God's mouth.’ ”
23283	MAT 4:5	Then the devil takes Him into the holy city and sets Him upon the pinnacle of the temple,
23284	MAT 4:6	and says to Him, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written: ‘He will give orders to His angels about you, and they will lift you up on their hands, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’ ”
