The Genealogy of Jesus the Messiah
An account of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
-
and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah.
-
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations.
-
The Birth of Jesus the Messiah
Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
-
and calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born.
-
Messengers from John the Baptist
When John heard in prison what the Messiah was doing, he sent word by his disciples
-
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
-
Then he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
-
“What do you think of the Messiah? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “The son of David.”
-
Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Messiah.
-
For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah!’ and they will lead many astray.
-
Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look! Here is the Messiah!’ or ‘There he is!’—do not believe it.
-
For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and produce great signs and omens, to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
-
But Jesus was silent. Then the high priest said to him, “I put you under oath before the living God, tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”
-
saying, “Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Who is it that struck you?”
-
So after they had gathered, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you, Jesus Barabbas or Jesus who is called the Messiah?”
-
Pilate said to them, “Then what should I do with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” All of them said, “Let him be crucified!”
-
He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Messiah.”
-
The Question about David’s Son
While Jesus was teaching in the temple, he said, “How can the scribes say that the Messiah is the son of David?
-
And if anyone says to you at that time, ‘Look! Here is the Messiah!’ or ‘Look! There he is!’—do not believe it.
-
False messiahs and false prophets will appear and produce signs and omens, to lead astray, if possible, the elect.
-
But he was silent and did not answer. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”
-
Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down from the cross now, so that we may see and believe.” Those who were crucified with him also taunted him.
-
to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord.
-
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah.
