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; |
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, |
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: |
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!” |
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.” |
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]. |
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.’ ” |
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.” |
23275 | MAT 3:14 | But John tried to dissuade Him saying, “I have need to be baptized by You, and You are coming to me?” |
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.’ ” |
23285 | MAT 4:7 | Jesus said to him, “It is also written: ‘You shall not test the Lord your God!’ ” |
23287 | MAT 4:9 | And he says to Him, “All these things I will give to you, if You will fall down and worship me.” |
23288 | MAT 4:10 | Then Jesus says to him: “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.’ ” |
23289 | MAT 4:11 | Then the devil leaves Him, and then, angels came and began ministering to Him. |
23290 | MAT 4:12 | Now hearing that John had been put in prison, Jesus departed into Galilee. |
23291 | MAT 4:13 | And leaving Natsareth behind, He went and took up residence in Capernaum by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali; |
23292 | MAT 4:14 | so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet should be fulfilled, namely: |
23293 | MAT 4:15 | “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations! |
23294 | MAT 4:16 | The people sitting in darkness saw a great light, and upon those sitting in the place and shadow of death light has dawned.” |
23295 | MAT 4:17 | From then on Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has come near.” |
23296 | MAT 4:18 | And walking by the Sea of Galilee He saw two brothers, Simon (the one called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a circular net into the sea (for they were fishermen). |
23297 | MAT 4:19 | And He says to them, “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.” |
23299 | MAT 4:21 | And going on from there He saw two other brothers, James (the one of Zebedee) and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. And He called them. |
23301 | MAT 4:23 | Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every illness among the people. |
23302 | MAT 4:24 | So His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all who were sick—suffering with various diseases and torments, and being demonized and being moonstruck, and paralytics—and He healed them. |
23304 | MAT 5:1 | Now seeing the crowds He went up on the mountain, and upon His sitting down His disciples approached Him. |
23305 | MAT 5:2 | And opening His mouth He started teaching them, saying: |
23306 | MAT 5:3 | “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens. |
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 hungering and thirsting for righteousness, for they will be filled. |
23310 | MAT 5:7 | Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown 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 have been persecuted on account of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens. |
23314 | MAT 5:11 | “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and speak all kinds of evil against you, lying, because of Me. |
23315 | MAT 5:12 | Rejoice and exult, because your reward in the heavens is great, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. |
23318 | MAT 5:15 | Nor do they light a lamp and place it under the hamper, but on the lampstand, and it shines on everything in the house. |
23319 | MAT 5:16 | So also let your light shine before the people, so that they may see your good works and may glorify your Father, who is in the heavens. |
23321 | MAT 5:18 | For assuredly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one iota nor one tittle shall pass away from the Law until everything happens. |
23322 | MAT 5:19 | Therefore, whoever annuls one of the least of these commandments and teaches that to the people will be called least in the kingdom of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, he will be called great in the kingdom of the heavens. |
23324 | MAT 5:21 | “You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘You shall not murder, so whoever murders will be liable to the judgment.’ |
23325 | MAT 5:22 | But I say to you that whoever gets angry with his brother without cause will be liable to the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Numbskull!’ will be liable to the council. But whoever says, ‘You absolute idiot!’ will be liable to hell fire. |
23326 | MAT 5:23 | Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, |
23327 | MAT 5:24 | leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled with your brother and then, returning, offer your gift. |
23328 | MAT 5:25 | Be agreeable to your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest the adversary hand you over to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. |
23329 | MAT 5:26 | Assuredly I say to you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the last penny. |
23330 | MAT 5:27 | “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ |
