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, |
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, |
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, |
23228 | MAT 1:15 | Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar was the father of Matthan, Matthan was the father of Jacob, |
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.” |
23235 | MAT 1:22 | All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: |
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”). |
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, |
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.’ ” |
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.” |
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.” |
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.” |
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, |
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. |
23268 | MAT 3:7 | But when John saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? |
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. |
23275 | MAT 3:14 | But John tried to prevent him, saying, “I need to be baptized by yoʋ, and do yoʋ come to me?” |
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. |
