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 was the father of Isaac, Isaac was the father of Jacob, Jacob was the father of Judah and his brothers, |
23216 | MAT 1:3 | Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez was the father of Hezron, Hezron was the father of Ram, |
23217 | MAT 1:4 | Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, Nahshon was the father of Salmon, |
23218 | MAT 1:5 | Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, Obed was the father of Jesse, |
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, |
23220 | MAT 1:7 | Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam was the father of Abijah, Abijah was the father of Asa, |
23221 | MAT 1:8 | Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat was the father of Joram, Joram was the father of Uzziah, |
23222 | MAT 1:9 | Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham was the father of Ahaz, Ahaz was the father of Hezekiah, |
23223 | MAT 1:10 | Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh was the father of Amon, Amon was the father of Josiah, |
23224 | MAT 1:11 | and Josiah was the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the Babylonian resettlement. |
23225 | MAT 1:12 | After the Babylonian resettlement, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel was the father of Zerubbabel, |
23226 | MAT 1:13 | Zerubbabel was the father of Abiud, Abiud was the father of Eliakim, Eliakim was the father of Azor, |
23227 | MAT 1:14 | Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok was the father of Achim, Achim was the father of Eliud, |
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. |
23239 | MAT 2:1 | 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 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. |
23243 | MAT 2:5 | They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet, |
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. |
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.” |
23252 | MAT 2:14 | So Joseph rose, took the child and his mother by night, and departed for Egypt, |
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. |
23255 | MAT 2:17 | Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: |
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.” |
23257 | MAT 2:19 | After Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, |
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.” |
23262 | MAT 3:1 | In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, |
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.’ ” |
