The
Genealogy of Jesus
|
|
|
|
1
|
The
book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of
Abraham.
|
|
|
|
2
|
Abraham
begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his
brethren;
|
|
|
|
3
|
And
Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and
Esrom begat Aram;
|
|
|
|
4
|
And
Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat
Salmon;
|
|
|
|
5
|
And
Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed
begat Jesse;
|
|
|
|
6
|
And
Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her
that had been the wife of Urias;
|
|
|
|
7
|
And
Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
|
|
|
|
8
|
And
Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
|
|
|
|
9
|
And
Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
|
|
|
|
10
|
And
Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
|
|
|
|
11
|
And
Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were
carried away to Babylon:
|
|
|
|
12
|
And
after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and
Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
|
|
|
|
13
|
And
Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
|
|
|
|
14
|
And
Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
|
|
|
|
15
|
And
Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat
Jacob;
|
|
|
|
16
|
And
Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is
called Christ.
|
|
|
|
17
|
So
all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and
from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen
generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are
fourteen generations.
|
|
|
|
|
The
Birth of Jesus
|
|
|
|
18
|
Now
the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was
espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child
of the Holy Ghost.
|
|
|
|
19
|
Then
Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a
public example, was minded to put her away privily.
|
|
|
|
20
|
But
while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD
appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear
not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her
is of the Holy Ghost.
|
|
|
|
21
|
And
she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he
shall save his people from their sins.
|
|
|
|
22
|
Now
all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the
Lord by the prophet, saying,
|
|
|
|
23
|
Behold,
a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they
shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
|
|
|
|
24
|
Then
Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden
him, and took unto him his wife:
|
|
|
|
25
|
And
knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he
called his name JESUS.
|
|
|

|
|
The
Visit of the Magi
|
|
|
|
1
|
Now
when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the
king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
|
|
|
|
2
|
Saying,
Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in
the east, and are come to worship him.
|
|
|
|
3
|
When
Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all
Jerusalem with him.
|
|
|
|
4
|
And
when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people
together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
|
|
|
|
5
|
And
they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by
the prophet,
|
|
|
|
6
|
And
thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the
princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule
my people Israel.
|
|
|
|
7
|
Then
Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them
diligently what time the star appeared.
|
|
|
|
8
|
And
he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the
young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I
may come and worship him also.
|
|
|
|
9
|
When
they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they
saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where
the young child was.
|
|
|
|
10
|
When
they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
|
|
|
|
11
|
And
when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary
his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened
their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense
and myrrh.
|
|
|
|
12
|
And
being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod,
they departed into their own country another way.
|
|
|
|
|
The
Escape to Egypt
|
|
|
|
13
|
And
when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to
Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his
mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:
for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
|
|
|
|
14
|
When
he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed
into Egypt:
|
|
|
|
15
|
And
was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I
called my son.
|
|
|
|
16
|
Then
Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding
wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in
Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under,
according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
|
|
|
|
17
|
Then
was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
|
|
|
|
18
|
In
Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great
mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted,
because they are not.
|
|
|
|
19
|
But
when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream
to Joseph in Egypt,
|
|
|
|
20
|
Saying,
Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of
Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.
|
|
|
|
21
|
And
he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the
land of Israel.
|
|
|
|
22
|
But
when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his
father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being
warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
|
|
|
|
23
|
And
he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled
which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
|
|
|
|

John
the Baptist Prepares the Way
|
|
|
|
1
|
In
those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
|
|
|
|
2
|
And
saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
|
|
|
|
3
|
For
this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice
of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make
his paths straight.
|
|
|
|
4
|
And
the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle
about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
|
|
|
|
5
|
Then
went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round
about Jordan,
|
|
|
|
6
|
And
were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
|
|
|
|
7
|
But
when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he
said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee
from the wrath to come?
|
|
|
|
8
|
Bring
forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
|
|
|
|
9
|
And
think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for
I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children
unto Abraham.
|
|
|
|
10
|
And
now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every
tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into
the fire.
|
|
|
|
11
|
I
indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after
me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall
baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
|
|
|
|
12
|
Whose
fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather
his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with
unquenchable fire.
|
|
|
|
|
The
Baptism of Jesus
|
|
|
|
13
|
Then
cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
|
|
|
|
14
|
But
John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest
thou to me?
|
|
|
|
15
|
And
Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it
becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
|
|
|
|
16
|
And
Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and,
lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God
descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
|
|
|
|
17
|
And
lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am
well pleased.
|
|
|
|
4
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
Temptation of Jesus
|
|
|
|
1
|
Then
was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the
devil.
|
|
|
|
2
|
And
when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an
hungred.
|
|
|
|
3
|
And
when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God,
command that these stones be made bread.
|
|
|
|
4
|
But
he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
|
|
|
|
5
|
Then
the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a
pinnacle of the temple,
|
|
|
|
6
|
And
saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is
written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their
hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot
against a stone.
|
|
|
|
7
|
Jesus
said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy
God.
|
|
|
|
8
|
Again,
the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth
him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
|
|
|
|
9
|
And
saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall
down and worship me.
|
|
|
|
10
|
Then
saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou
shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
|
|
|
|
11
|
Then
the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto
him.
|
|
|
|
|
Jesus
Begins to Preach
|
|
|
|
12
|
Now
when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into
Galilee;
|
|
|
|
13
|
And
leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea
coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
|
|
|
|
14
|
That
it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
|
|
|
|
15
|
The
land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea,
beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
|
|
|
|
16
|
The
people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in
the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
|
|
|
|
17
|
From
that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand.
|
|
|
|
|
The
Calling of the First Disciples
|
|
|
|
18
|
And
Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called
Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they
were fishers.
|
|
|
|
19
|
And
he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
|
|
|
|
20
|
And
they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
|
|
|
|
21
|
And
going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of
Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father,
mending their nets; and he called them.
|
|
|
|
22
|
And
they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
|
|
|
|
|
Jesus
Heals the Sick
|
|
|
|
23
|
And
Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness
and all manner of disease among the people.
|
|
|
|
24
|
And
his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick
people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those
which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and
those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
|
|
|
|
25
|
And
there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from
Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
|
|
|
|
5
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
Beatitudes
|
|
|
|
1
|
And
seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set,
his disciples came unto him:
|
|
|
|
2
|
And
he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
|
|
|
|
3
|
Blessed
are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
|
|
|
|
4
|
Blessed
are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
|
|
|
|
5
|
Blessed
are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
|
|
|
|
6
|
Blessed
are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall
be filled.
|
|
|
|
7
|
Blessed
are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
|
|
|
|
8
|
Blessed
are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
|
|
|
|
9
|
Blessed
are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
|
|
|
|
10
|
Blessed
are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is
the kingdom of heaven.
|
|
|
|
11
|
Blessed
are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all
manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
|
|
|
|
12
|
Rejoice,
and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so
persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
|
|
|
|
13
|
Ye
are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but
to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
|
|
|
|
14
|
Ye
are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be
hid.
|
|
|
|
15
|
Neither
do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick;
and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
|
|
|
|
16
|
Let
your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and
glorify your Father which is in heaven.
|
|
|
|
|
The
Fulfilment of the Law
|
|
|
|
17
|
Think
not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come
to destroy, but to fulfil.
|
|
|
|
18
|
For
verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one
tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
|
|
|
|
19
|
Whosoever
therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach
men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but
whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in
the kingdom of heaven.
|
|
|
|
20
|
For
I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the
righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter
into the kingdom of heaven.
|
|
|
|
|
Murder
|
|
|
|
21
|
Ye
have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill;
and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
|
|
|
|
22
|
But
I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a
cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to
his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever
shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
|
|
|
|
23
|
Therefore
if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy
brother hath ought against thee;
|
|
|
|
24
|
Leave
there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to
thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
|
|
|
|
25
|
Agree
with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest
at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge
deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
|
|
|
|
26
|
Verily
I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast
paid the uttermost farthing.
|
|
|
|
|
Adultry
|
|
|
|
27
|
Ye
have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit
adultery:
|
|
|
|
28
|
But
I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her
hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
|
|
|
|
29
|
And
if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for
it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and
not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
|
|
|
|
30
|
And
if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for
it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and
not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
|
|
|
|
|
Divorce
|
|
|
|
31
|
It
hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a
writing of divorcement:
|
|
|
|
32
|
But
I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the
cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever
shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
|
|
|
|
|
Oaths
|
|
|
|
33
|
Again,
ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt
not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
|
|
|
|
34
|
But
I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's
throne:
|
|
|
|
35
|
Nor
by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is
the city of the great King.
|
|
|
|
36
|
Neither
shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair
white or black.
|
|
|
|
37
|
But
let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more
than these cometh of evil.
|
|
|
|
|
An
Eye for an Eye
|
|
|
|
38
|
Ye
have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a
tooth:
|
|
|
|
39
|
But
I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee
on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
|
|
|
|
40
|
And
if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him
have thy cloak also.
|
|
|
|
41
|
And
whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
|
|
|
|
42
|
Give
to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn
not thou away.
|
|
|
|
|
Love
for Enemies
|
|
|
|
43
|
Ye
have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and
hate thine enemy.
|
|
|
|
44
|
But
I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good
to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you,
and persecute you;
|
|
|
|
45
|
That
ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh
his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the
just and on the unjust.
|
|
|
|
46
|
For
if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the
publicans the same?
|
|
|
|
47
|
And
if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not
even the publicans so?
|
|
|
|
48
|
Be
ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is
perfect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
