Matthew – WEB

1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

2 Abraham became the father of Isaac. Isaac became the father of Jacob. Jacob became the father of Judah and his brothers.

3 Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar. Perez became the father of Hezron. Hezron became the father of Ram.

4 Ram became the father of Amminadab. Amminadab became the father of Nahshon. Nahshon became the father of Salmon.

5 Salmon became the father of Boaz by Rahab. Boaz became the father of Obed by Ruth. Obed became the father of Jesse.

6 Jesse became the father of King David. David the king became the father of Solomon by her who had been Uriah’s wife.

7 Solomon became the father of Rehoboam. Rehoboam became the father of Abijah. Abijah became the father of Asa.

8 Asa became the father of Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat became the father of Joram. Joram became the father of Uzziah.

9 Uzziah became the father of Jotham. Jotham became the father of Ahaz. Ahaz became the father of Hezekiah.

10 Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh. Manasseh became the father of Amon. Amon became the father of Josiah.

11 Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.

12 After the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel became the father of Zerubbabel.

13 Zerubbabel became the father of Abiud. Abiud became the father of Eliakim. Eliakim became the father of Azor.

14 Azor became the father of Zadok. Zadok became the father of Achim. Achim became the father of Eliud.

15 Eliud became the father of Eleazar. Eleazar became the father of Matthan. Matthan became the father of Jacob.

16 Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.

19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.

20 But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

21 She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”

22 Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child,

24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;

25 and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.

1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,

2 “Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”

3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.

5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,

6 ‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah,

7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.

8 He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”

9 They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until it came and stood over where the young child was.

10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.

11 They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.

13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”

14 He arose and 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 by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”\x + \xo 2:15 \xt Hosea 11:1\x*

16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.

17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,

18 “A voice was heard in Ramah,

19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,

20 “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”

21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee,

23 and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets that he will be called a Nazarene.

1 In those days, John the Baptizer came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,

2 “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”

3 For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying,

4 Now John himself wore clothing made of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.

5 Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him.

6 They were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.

7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

8 Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance!

9 Don’t think to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father,’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

10 Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.

11 “I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.

12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.”

V8 Fruits of repentance

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.

14 But John would have hindered him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?”

15 But Jesus, answering, said to him, \wj “Allow \+w it|strong=”G1161″\+w* \+w now|strong=”G1161″\+w*, \+w for|strong=”G1063″\+w* \+w this|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w is|strong=”G1510″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G3956″\+w* \+w fitting|strong=”G4241″\+w* \+w way|strong=”G3779″\+w* \+w for|strong=”G1063″\+w* \+w us|strong=”G3004″\+w* \+w to|strong=”G4314″\+w* \+w fulfill|strong=”G4137″\+w* \+w all|strong=”G3956″\+w* \+w righteousness|strong=”G1343″\+w*.”\wj* Then he allowed him.

16 Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water: and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.

17 Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

2 When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.

3 The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

4 But he answered, \wj “\+w It|strong=”G1161″\+w* \+w is|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w written|strong=”G1125″\+w*, ‘\+w Man|strong=”G3956″\+w* \+w shall|strong=”G2316″\+w* \+w not|strong=”G3756″\+w* \+w live|strong=”G2198″\+w* \+w by|strong=”G1223″\+w* bread \+w alone|strong=”G3441″\+w*, \+w but|strong=”G1161″\+w* \+w by|strong=”G1223″\+w* \+w every|strong=”G3956″\+w* \+w word|strong=”G4487″\+w* \+w that|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w proceeds|strong=”G1607″\+w* \+w out|strong=”G1607″\+w* \+w of|strong=”G1223″\+w* \+w God|strong=”G2316″\+w*’s \+w mouth|strong=”G4750″\+w*.’”\wj*\x + \xo 4:4 \xt Deuteronomy 8:3\x*

5 Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,

7 Jesus said to him, \wj “\+w Again|strong=”G3825″\+w*, \+w it|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w is|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w written|strong=”G1125″\+w*, ‘\+w You|strong=”G4771″\+w* \+w shall|strong=”G2316″\+w* \+w not|strong=”G3756″\+w* \+w test|strong=”G1598″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w Lord|strong=”G2962″\+w*, \+w your|strong=”G2962″\+w* \+w God|strong=”G2316″\+w*.’”\wj*\x + \xo 4:7 \xt Deuteronomy 6:16\x*

8 Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

9 He said to him, “I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”

10 Then Jesus said to him, \wj “\+w Get|strong=”G5217″\+w* behind \+w me|strong=”G3004″\+w*,\wj* \wj \+w Satan|strong=”G4567″\+w*! \+w For|strong=”G1063″\+w* \+w it|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w is|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w written|strong=”G1125″\+w*, ‘\+w You|strong=”G4771″\+w* \+w shall|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w worship|strong=”G4352″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w Lord|strong=”G2962″\+w* \+w your|strong=”G2962″\+w* \+w God|strong=”G2316″\+w*, \+w and|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G4771″\+w* \+w shall|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w serve|strong=”G3000″\+w* \+w him|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w only|strong=”G3441″\+w*.’”\wj* \x + \xo 4:10 \xt Deuteronomy 6:13\x*

11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.

12 Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.

13 Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,

14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,

16 the people who sat in darkness saw a great light;

17 From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, \wj “\+w Repent|strong=”G3340″\+w*! \+w For|strong=”G1063″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G2532″\+w* Kingdom \+w of|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w Heaven|strong=”G3772″\+w* \+w is|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w at|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w hand|strong=”G1448″\+w*.”\wj*

18 Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

19 He said to them, \wj “\+w Come|strong=”G1205″\+w* \+w after|strong=”G3694″\+w* \+w me|strong=”G1473″\+w*, \+w and|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w I|strong=”G1473″\+w* \+w will|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w make|strong=”G4160″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G5210″\+w* fishers \+w for|strong=”G2532″\+w* men.”\wj*

20 They immediately left their nets and followed him.

21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them.

22 They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.

23 Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

24 The report about him went out into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them.

25 Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.

1 Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.

2 He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,

28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

29 for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.

1 When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

2 Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”

3 Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, \wj “\+w I|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w want|strong=”G2309″\+w* \+w to|strong=”G2532″\+w*. \+w Be|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w made|strong=”G3004″\+w* \+w clean|strong=”G2511″\+w*.”\wj* Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

5 When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him for help,

6 saying, “Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented.”

7 Jesus said to him, \wj “\+w I|strong=”G1473″\+w* \+w will|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w come|strong=”G2064″\+w* \+w and|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w heal|strong=”G2323″\+w* \+w him|strong=”G2532″\+w*.”\wj*

8 The centurion answered, “Lord, I’m not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

9 For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and tell another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and tell my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

10 When Jesus heard it, he marveled and said to those who followed, \wj “Most \+w certainly|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w I|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w tell|strong=”G3004″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G5210″\+w*, \+w I|strong=”G2532″\+w* haven’\+w t|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w found|strong=”G2147″\+w* \+w so|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w great|strong=”G5118″\+w* \+w a|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w faith|strong=”G4102″\+w*, \+w not|strong=”G3761″\+w* \+w even|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w in|strong=”G1722″\+w* \+w Israel|strong=”G2474″\+w*. \wj*

14 When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.

15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her. So she got up and served him.

16 When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,

17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.”\x + \xo 8:17 \xt Isaiah 53:4 \x*

18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.

19 A scribe came and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

20 Jesus said to him, \wj “\+w The|strong=”G2532″\+w* foxes \+w have|strong=”G2192″\+w* \+w holes|strong=”G5454″\+w* \+w and|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w birds|strong=”G4071″\+w* \+w of|strong=”G5207″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w sky|strong=”G3772″\+w* \+w have|strong=”G2192″\+w* \+w nests|strong=”G2682″\+w*, \+w but|strong=”G1161″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w Son|strong=”G5207″\+w* \+w of|strong=”G5207″\+w* \+w Man|strong=”G3756″\+w* \+w has|strong=”G2192″\+w* \+w nowhere|strong=”G3756″\+w* \+w to|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w lay|strong=”G2827″\+w* \+w his|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w head|strong=”G2776″\+w*.”\wj*

21 Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

22 But Jesus said to him, \wj “\+w Follow|strong=”G1161″\+w* \+w me|strong=”G1473″\+w*, \+w and|strong=”G2532″\+w* leave \+w the|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w dead|strong=”G3498″\+w* \+w to|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w bury|strong=”G2290″\+w* \+w their|strong=”G1438″\+w* \+w own|strong=”G1438″\+w* \+w dead|strong=”G3498″\+w*.”\wj*

V21 Now is the time

23 When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.

24 Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves; but he was asleep.

25 The disciples came to him and woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We are dying!”

26 He said to them, \wj “\+w Why|strong=”G5101″\+w* \+w are|strong=”G1510″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G3004″\+w* \+w fearful|strong=”G1169″\+w*, O \+w you|strong=”G3004″\+w* \+w of|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w little|strong=”G3640″\+w* \+w faith|strong=”G3640″\+w*?” \wj* Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.

27 The men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”

V23 No need to be fearful

28 When he came to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way.

29 Behold, they cried out, saying, “What do we have to do with you, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”

30 Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.

31 The demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs.”

32 He said to them, \wj “\+w Go|strong=”G5217″\+w*!”\wj*

33 Those who fed them fled and went away into the city and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons.

34 Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.

1 He entered into a boat and crossed over, and came into his own city.

2 Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, \wj “\+w Son|strong=”G5043″\+w*, cheer \+w up|strong=”G4374″\+w*! \+w Your|strong=”G2532″\+w* sins \+w are|strong=”G3588″\+w* forgiven \+w you|strong=”G4771″\+w*.”\wj*

3 Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes.”

7 He arose and departed to his house.

8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

9 As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, \wj “Follow \+w me|strong=”G1473″\+w*.”\wj* He got up and followed him.

10 As he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.

18 While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”

19 Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.

20 Behold, a woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;

21 for she said within herself, “If I just touch his garment, I will be made well.”

22 But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, \wj “\+w Daughter|strong=”G2364″\+w*, cheer \+w up|strong=”G2532″\+w*! \+w Your|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w faith|strong=”G4102″\+w* \+w has|strong=”G4102″\+w* \+w made|strong=”G4982″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G4771″\+w* \+w well|strong=”G4982″\+w*.”\wj* And the woman was made well from that hour.

23 When Jesus came into the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd in noisy disorder,

24 he said to them, \wj “\+w Make|strong=”G2532″\+w* room, \+w because|strong=”G1063″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w girl|strong=”G2877″\+w* isn’\+w t|strong=”G3588″\+w* dead, \+w but|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w sleeping|strong=”G2518″\+w*.”\wj*

25 But when the crowd was sent out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

26 The report of this went out into all that land.

V18 Statements of faith

27 As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, “Have mercy on us, son of David!”

28 When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, \wj “\+w Do|strong=”G4160″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G3754″\+w* \+w believe|strong=”G4100″\+w* \+w that|strong=”G3754″\+w* \+w I|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w am|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w able|strong=”G1410″\+w* \+w to|strong=”G1519″\+w* \+w do|strong=”G4160″\+w* \+w this|strong=”G3778″\+w*?”\wj*

29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, \wj “\+w According|strong=”G2596″\+w* \+w to|strong=”G2596″\+w* \+w your|strong=”G4102″\+w* \+w faith|strong=”G4102″\+w* \+w be|strong=”G1096″\+w* \+w it|strong=”G5119″\+w* \+w done|strong=”G1096″\+w* \+w to|strong=”G2596″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G5210″\+w*.”\wj*

30 Then their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, \wj “\+w See|strong=”G3708″\+w* \+w that|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w no|strong=”G3367″\+w* \+w one|strong=”G3367″\+w* \+w knows|strong=”G1097″\+w* \+w about|strong=”G2424″\+w* \+w this|strong=”G3588″\+w*.”\wj*

31 But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.

32 As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.

33 When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

34 But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.”

35 Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.

37 Then he said to his disciples, \wj “\+w The|strong=”G1161″\+w* \+w harvest|strong=”G2326″\+w* \+w indeed|strong=”G3303″\+w* \+w is|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w plentiful|strong=”G4183″\+w*, \+w but|strong=”G1161″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G1161″\+w* \+w laborers|strong=”G2040″\+w* \+w are|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w few|strong=”G3641″\+w*. \wj*

V35 The ministry of Jesus Christ

1 He called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.

2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; James the son of Zebedee; John, his brother;

3 Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus; Lebbaeus, who was also called Thaddaeus;

4 Simon the Zealot; and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

5 Jesus sent these twelve out and commanded them, saying, \wj “Don’\+w t|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w go|strong=”G1525″\+w* \+w among|strong=”G1519″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w Gentiles|strong=”G1484″\+w*, \+w and|strong=”G2532″\+w* don’\+w t|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w enter|strong=”G1525″\+w* \+w into|strong=”G1519″\+w* \+w any|strong=”G3361″\+w* \+w city|strong=”G4172″\+w* \+w of|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w Samaritans|strong=”G4541″\+w*. \wj*

14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.

15 Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,

16 and commanded them that they should not make him known,

17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen,

19 He will not strive, nor shout,

20 He won’t break a bruised reed.

21 In his name, the nations will hope.”\x + \xo 12:21 \xt Isaiah 42:1-4\x*

22 Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him; and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.

23 All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?”

24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”

53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.

54 Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?

55 Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?

56 Aren’t all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?”

57 They were offended by him.

58 He didn’t do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

1 At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,

2 and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptizer. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him.”

3 For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.

4 For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

5 When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

6 But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.

7 Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.

8 She, being prompted by her mother, said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptizer.”

9 The king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths and of those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,

10 and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.

11 His head was brought on a platter and given to the young lady; and she brought it to her mother.

12 His disciples came, took the body, and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.

13 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place apart. When the multitudes heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.

14 Jesus went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15 When evening had come, his disciples came to him, saying, “This place is deserted, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.”

16 But Jesus said to them, \wj “\+w They|strong=”G1161″\+w* don’\+w t|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w need|strong=”G5532″\+w* \+w to|strong=”G3004″\+w* \+w go|strong=”G2192″\+w* away. \+w You|strong=”G5210″\+w* \+w give|strong=”G1325″\+w* \+w them|strong=”G3588″\+w* something \+w to|strong=”G3004″\+w* \+w eat|strong=”G2068″\+w*.”\wj*

17 They told him, “We only have here five loaves and two fish.”

18 He said, \wj “\+w Bring|strong=”G5342″\+w* \+w them|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w here|strong=”G5602″\+w* \+w to|strong=”G3004″\+w* \+w me|strong=”G1473″\+w*.”\wj*

19 He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.

20 They all ate and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.

21 Those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.

22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

23 After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.

24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

25 In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.\x + \xo 14:25 \xt See Job 9:8\x*

26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear.

27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, \wj “Cheer \+w up|strong=”G3361″\+w*! \+w It|strong=”G1161″\+w* \+w is|strong=”G1510″\+w* \+w I|strong=”G1473″\+w*! \wj* \wj Don’t \+w be|strong=”G1510″\+w* \+w afraid|strong=”G5399″\+w*.”\wj*

28 Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”

29 He said, \wj “\+w Come|strong=”G2064″\+w*!”\wj*

30 But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

31 Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, \wj “\+w You|strong=”G3004″\+w* \+w of|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w little|strong=”G3640″\+w* \+w faith|strong=”G3640″\+w*, \+w why|strong=”G5101″\+w* \+w did|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G3004″\+w* \+w doubt|strong=”G1365″\+w*?”\wj*

32 When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.

33 Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “You are truly the Son of God!”

V33 Who is Jesus Christ

34 When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.

35 When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region and brought to him all who were sick;

36 and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.

1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,

2 “Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread.”

3 He answered them, \wj “\+w Why|strong=”G5101″\+w* \+w do|strong=”G5101″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G5210″\+w* \+w also|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w disobey|strong=”G3845″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w commandment|strong=”G1785″\+w* \+w of|strong=”G1223″\+w* \+w God|strong=”G2316″\+w* \+w because|strong=”G1223″\+w* \+w of|strong=”G1223″\+w* \+w your|strong=”G1223″\+w* \+w tradition|strong=”G3862″\+w*? \wj*

V8 Examine ourselves

21 Jesus went out from there and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

22 Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!”

23 But he answered her not a word.

24 But he answered, \wj “\+w I|strong=”G1161″\+w* wasn’\+w t|strong=”G3588″\+w* sent \+w to|strong=”G1519″\+w* anyone \+w but|strong=”G1161″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G1519″\+w* lost \+w sheep|strong=”G4263″\+w* \+w of|strong=”G3624″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G1519″\+w* \+w house|strong=”G3624″\+w* \+w of|strong=”G3624″\+w* \+w Israel|strong=”G2474″\+w*.”\wj*

25 But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”

26 But he answered, \wj “\+w It|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w is|strong=”G1510″\+w* \+w not|strong=”G3756″\+w* appropriate \+w to|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w take|strong=”G2983″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w children|strong=”G5043″\+w*’s bread \+w and|strong=”G2532″\+w* throw \+w it|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w to|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w dogs|strong=”G2952″\+w*.”\wj*

27 But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”

28 Then Jesus answered her, \wj “\+w Woman|strong=”G1135″\+w*, \+w great|strong=”G3173″\+w* \+w is|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w your|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w faith|strong=”G4102″\+w*! \+w Be|strong=”G1096″\+w* \+w it|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w done|strong=”G1096″\+w* \+w to|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G4771″\+w* \+w even|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w as|strong=”G5613″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G4771″\+w* \+w desire|strong=”G2309″\+w*.”\wj* And her daughter was healed from that hour.

29 Jesus departed from there and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up on the mountain and sat there.

30 Great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed them,

31 so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, the injured healed, the lame walking, and the blind seeing—and they glorified the God of Israel.

V29 Healing at the feet of Jesus Christ

32 Jesus summoned his disciples and said, \wj “\+w I|strong=”G1473″\+w* \+w have|strong=”G2192″\+w* \+w compassion|strong=”G4697″\+w* \+w on|strong=”G1909″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G1722″\+w* \+w multitude|strong=”G3793″\+w*, \+w because|strong=”G3754″\+w* \+w they|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w have|strong=”G2192″\+w* continued \+w with|strong=”G1722″\+w* \+w me|strong=”G1473″\+w* \+w now|strong=”G1161″\+w* \+w three|strong=”G5140″\+w* \+w days|strong=”G2250″\+w* \+w and|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w have|strong=”G2192″\+w* \+w nothing|strong=”G3756″\+w* \+w to|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w eat|strong=”G2068″\+w*. \+w I|strong=”G1473″\+w* don’\+w t|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w want|strong=”G2309″\+w* \+w to|strong=”G2532″\+w* send \+w them|strong=”G3588″\+w* away \+w fasting|strong=”G3523″\+w*, \+w or|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w they|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w might|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w faint|strong=”G1590″\+w* \+w on|strong=”G1909″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G1722″\+w* \+w way|strong=”G3598″\+w*.” \wj*

33 The disciples said to him, “Where could we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?”

34 Jesus said to them, \wj “\+w How|strong=”G4214″\+w* \+w many|strong=”G4214″\+w* loaves \+w do|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G3004″\+w* \+w have|strong=”G2192″\+w*?”\wj*

35 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;

36 and he took the seven loaves and the fish. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.

37 They all ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.

38 Those who ate were four thousand men, in addition to women and children.

39 Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.

1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

20 Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.

21 From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.

22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you.”

1 After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.

2 He was changed before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.

3 Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.

4 Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let’s make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”

6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.

7 Jesus came and touched them and said, \wj “\+w Get|strong=”G1453″\+w* \+w up|strong=”G1453″\+w*, \+w and|strong=”G2532″\+w* don’\+w t|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w be|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w afraid|strong=”G5399″\+w*.” \wj*

8 Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.

9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, \wj “Don’\+w t|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w tell|strong=”G3004″\+w* \+w anyone|strong=”G3367″\+w* \+w what|strong=”G3739″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G3739″\+w* \+w saw|strong=”G2424″\+w*, \+w until|strong=”G2193″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w Son|strong=”G5207″\+w* \+w of|strong=”G1537″\+w* \+w Man|strong=”G3367″\+w* \+w has|strong=”G3739″\+w* \+w risen|strong=”G1453″\+w* \+w from|strong=”G1537″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w dead|strong=”G3498″\+w*.”\wj*

10 His disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.

14 When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him and saying,

15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.

16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.”

17 Jesus answered, \wj “Faithless \+w and|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w perverse|strong=”G1294″\+w* \+w generation|strong=”G1074″\+w*! \+w How|strong=”G2193″\+w* \+w long|strong=”G2193″\+w* \+w will|strong=”G1510″\+w* \+w I|strong=”G1473″\+w* \+w be|strong=”G1510″\+w* \+w with|strong=”G3326″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G5210″\+w*? \+w How|strong=”G2193″\+w* \+w long|strong=”G2193″\+w* \+w will|strong=”G1510″\+w* \+w I|strong=”G1473″\+w* \+w bear|strong=”G5342″\+w* \+w with|strong=”G3326″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G5210″\+w*? \+w Bring|strong=”G5342″\+w* \+w him|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w here|strong=”G5602″\+w* \+w to|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w me|strong=”G1473″\+w*.”\wj*

18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.

19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?”

20 He said to them, \wj “\+w Because|strong=”G1223″\+w* \+w of|strong=”G1223″\+w* \+w your|strong=”G1223″\+w* unbelief. \+w For|strong=”G1063″\+w* most \+w certainly|strong=”G2192″\+w* \+w I|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w tell|strong=”G3004″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G5210″\+w*, \+w if|strong=”G1437″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G5210″\+w* \+w have|strong=”G2192″\+w* \+w faith|strong=”G4102″\+w* \+w as|strong=”G5613″\+w* \+w a|strong=”G2192″\+w* \+w grain|strong=”G2848″\+w* \+w of|strong=”G1223″\+w* \+w mustard|strong=”G4615″\+w* \+w seed|strong=”G2848″\+w*, \+w you|strong=”G5210″\+w* \+w will|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w tell|strong=”G3004″\+w* \+w this|strong=”G3778″\+w* \+w mountain|strong=”G3735″\+w*, ‘\+w Move|strong=”G3327″\+w* \+w from|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w here|strong=”G1759″\+w* \+w to|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w there|strong=”G1563″\+w*,’ \+w and|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w it|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w will|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w move|strong=”G3327″\+w*; \+w and|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w nothing|strong=”G3762″\+w* \+w will|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w be|strong=”G2532″\+w* impossible \+w for|strong=”G1063″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G5210″\+w*. \wj*
