23214	MAT 1:1	The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
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,
23224	MAT 1:11	and Josiah was the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the Babylonian resettlement.
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,
23238	MAT 1:25	but knew her not until she had given birth to her firstborn son. And he named him Jesus.
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.
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.’ ”
23245	MAT 2:7	Then Herod secretly called the wise men and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared.
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.”
23253	MAT 2:15	where he stayed until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
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.”
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.”
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.
23269	MAT 3:8	Produce fruit consistent with repentance.
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.
23271	MAT 3:10	Even now the axe is laid at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
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.
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.”
23279	MAT 4:1	Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil.
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.’ ”
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.
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.”
23298	MAT 4:20	So they immediately left their nets and followed him.
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.
23300	MAT 4:22	So they immediately left the boat and their father and followed him.
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.
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.
23319	MAT 5:16	Let your light shine before others in such a way that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
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.
23327	MAT 5:24	leave yoʋr gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to yoʋr brother, and then come and offer yoʋr gift.
23328	MAT 5:25	Make friends with yoʋr adversary quickly while yoʋ are on the way with him, lest yoʋr adversary hand yoʋ over to the judge, and the judge hand yoʋ over to the guard, and yoʋ be thrown into prison.
23329	MAT 5:26	Truly I say to yoʋ, yoʋ will certainly not come out of there until yoʋ have paid the last penny.
23330	MAT 5:27	“You have heard that it was said, ‘Yoʋ shall not commit adultery.’
23331	MAT 5:28	But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
23332	MAT 5:29	So if yoʋr right eye causes yoʋ to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from yoʋ. For it is better for yoʋ to have one of yoʋr members perish, than for yoʋr whole body to be thrown into hell.
23333	MAT 5:30	And if yoʋr right hand causes yoʋ to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from yoʋ. For it is better for yoʋ to have one of yoʋr members perish, than for yoʋr whole body to be thrown into hell.
23334	MAT 5:31	“It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’
23335	MAT 5:32	But I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, apart from a matter of fornication, makes her commit adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
23336	MAT 5:33	“Again, you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘Yoʋ shall not break an oath, but shall keep yoʋr oaths to the Lord.’
23338	MAT 5:35	nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
23339	MAT 5:36	Neither shall yoʋ swear by yoʋr head, for yoʋ cannot make one hair white or black.
23340	MAT 5:37	But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No’; for whatever is more than these is from the evil one.
23341	MAT 5:38	“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’
