The Genealogy of Jesus the Messiah
This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham:
-
Joseph Accepts Jesus as His Son
This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.
-
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
-
She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
-
“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).
-
But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
-
where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
-
And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
-
As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him.
-
And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”
-
The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
-
Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
-
“If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: “‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”
-
Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
-
Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”
-
Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them,
-
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
-
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
-
But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;
-
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
-
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?
-
“Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
-
Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
-
“What do you want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?”
-
Some men brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.”
