‘land his -brethren, about_ the _ time
- | they_were_carried_away to Babylon.
1 And after they were_brought to
“| Babylon, je Jechonias begats -Salathiel ;
and sSalathiel begat z-Zorobabel ;
13 And z Zorobabel begat -Abiud ;
and Abiud begat -Eliakim ; and Eliakim begat -Azor ;

and Eleazar begat -Matthan ; and Matthan begat -Jacob ;
16 And Jacob begat -Joseph the hus- band of_Mary, of whom was_born Jesus, who is_called ¢ Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abra- ‘|ham uto Dayid are fourteen genera- tions; and from David until the ~ carry- ing_away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the r carrying_ away into Babylon «unto «Christ are fourteen generations.
18 Now the birth of_-Jesus Christ “was on_this_wise: # When -+as His -mother Mary was_espoused to -Joseph, before
MatruHeEw II. 7.

MATTHEW.
they came_together, she_was_found with child of the Holy sGhost.
19 Then Joseph her thusband, being a just man, and not willing to_-make her a_public example, ‘was_minded to_ put her away privily. .
20 But -swhile_he_thought_on these_ things, behold, the angel of _)the_Lorp 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 s 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.”
= Now all this “was_done, that it_ ‘might_be_fulfilled which was_spoken bof '-the Lorn tby the prophet, saying,
28 “ BEHOLD, @ “VIRGIN SHALL_BE WITH
CHILD, AND SHALL_BRING_FORTH A SON, AND THEY_SHALL_CALL His -NAME * EMMANUEL,” which being_inter- preted is, «Gop WITH Us.
24 Then -Joseph +being_raised from vsleep did as the angel of_) the_Lorp shad_bidden him, and took_unto_him his -wife:
2 And ~knew her not till she_-had_ brought_forth her -firstborn -son: and he_called His “name ! Jesus.*
NOW ‘-:when «Jesus was_born in Bethlehem of_-Judza in the days of_Herod the king, behold, there_came ': wise_men from the =east to Jerusa- em,
2 Saying, “Where is He_that -sis_ 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 Beth- lehem of_-Judea: for thus it_‘is_ written ‘h by the prophet,
6 “ Anp thon BETHLEHEM, in the LAND

And «+he_sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “-+Go and search «c diligent- ly efor the young_child; and when ye_ Bhavae tevmicl Him, *bring me word_ again, that £ -may_come and ‘worship Him also.”
% When they -shad_heard the king, they departed ; and, lo, the star, which they_saw in the east, ~went_before them, till it_scame and stood oyer » where the young_child “was.
10 When *+they_saw the star, they_re- joiced 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 «swhen_they_had_opened their sures, 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 vcountry »» another way.
13 And -swhen they were_departed, behold, the angel of_) the_Lorp appear- eth to -Joseph in a dream, saying, “ss Arise, and ta+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 «zarose, he took the young_ child and His -mother by_night, and departed into Egypt:
15 And “was there until the edeath of_Herod: that it_-might_be_fulfilled which was_spoken ? of J «the Lorp tby the prophet, saying,

16 Then Herod, -+when_he_saw that he_was_mocked 4of the ™Wwise_men, was exceeding wroth, and -+sent_forth, and slew all the ma children that_were in Bethlehem, and in all the 4 coasts thereof, from two_years_old and under, according _to the time which he_had adiligently _ enquired fof the wise men.
W Then was_fulfilled that_which was_ spoken by j Jeremy the prophet, saying,
18“TN RAMA WAS_THERE A VOICE
HEARD,
LAMENTATION, AND WEEPING, AND GREAT MOURNING,
RACHEL WEEPING fov HER *CHIL- DREN,
AND ~WOULD NOT *BE_COMFORTED, BECAUSi THEY_ARE NOT.”
19 But --when -Herod was_dead, be- hold, an angel of_’the_Lorp appeareth in a dream to -Joseph in Egypt,
20 Saying, “-sArise, and take the young_child and His -mother, and 'go into the land of_Israél: for they_‘are_ pe “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_Israél.
* Since Anno Domini commences four years after the birth of Christ, 4 must be added to A.D. throughout to make it correspond with the actual year of Christ's life: A.D. 26 and 4—30.
MATTHEW
22 But +when_he_heard that Arche- laus 'did_reign coin «Judea in_the_ room_of his father Herod, he_was_ afraid to_-go thither: «notwithstand-| ° ing, +being_warned_of_God in a dream, he_¢turned_aside into the parts of_ Galilee:
23 And «she_came and dwelt in a city acalled Nazareth: that it_-might_be_ fulfilled which was_spoken ‘by the prophets, ‘*He_shall_be_ealled a
Nazarene. 3 av IN those -days 'came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilder- ness of_-Judzea, 2 And saying, “ Renee for the kingdom of_-=heayen /*is at_hand.”
LL
by the prophet ¢ Esaias, saying, “The VOICE OF_ONE-CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, *PREPARE-YE THE WAY OF_! the
RD, 'MakE His -PATHS STRAIGHT.”
# And the same John “had his -rai-|3. ment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his /-meat'| ‘jo: ~was locusts and wild honey.
5 Then ~went_out to him Jerusalem, and all -Judeea, and all the region round about -Jordan,
6 And ~were_baptized %of him in -Jordan, confessing their -sins.
But --when_he_saw many of_the
harisees and Sadducees +come to his
baptism, he_said unto_them, “O_
=generation of_vipers, who hath warn- ed you to_-flee from the wrath to_ come?
8 -Bring_forth therefore fruits »meet_ for -repentance:
9 And «think not to_'say within your-| 5) selves, ‘We_have -Abraham to owr|9, father :’ for I_say unto_you, that “God is_able oof 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 balk is_hewn_down, and 'cast into the

12 Whose -fan is in His chand, and He will throughly purge His -floor, and 'gather His cwheat into the garner; but He_will_burn_up the chaff with_unquenchable fire.”
13 Then cometh -Jesus from -Galilee to -Jordan unto John, -to_-be_bap- tized » of him.
14 But “John ~forbad Him, saying, |; “¥ 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 righteous- ness.” Then he_'suffered Him.

tized, went_up straightway / out_of the water: and, lo, the heavens were_open- ed unto_Him, and he-_saw the Spirit of_-God descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him: 47 And lo avoice from -=heaven, saying, “Tus 1s My «BELOVED “SON, IN Whom I_:AM_WELL_PLEASED.”
THEN was ~Jesus led up %of the Spirit into the wilderness, to_*be_ tempted 2 of the @ devil. 2 And «when _He_had_fasted forty days and forty nights, He was afterward
a@ hungred.
3 And -:when s4the tempter came to_Him, he-_said, “If Thou_be the Son of_-God, command that these «stones *be_c made =bread.”
4 But He -sanswered and said, “It_
.| “is_written,
‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE °BY BREAD ALONE, BUT 9 BY EVERY s WORD +THAT_
PROCEEDETH_OUT ‘OF the MOUTH oOF_|th
Gop?”
® Then the ¢devil taketh Him up into the holy city, and setteth Him on a w «pinnacle of_the ou 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_writ- ten again,
“THOU_SHALT NOT TEMP? Jthe LorD THY ~Gop.’”
8 Again, the ddevil taketh Him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth Him all the kingdoms of_the world, and the glory of_them ;
®° And saith unto_Him
fall.down and «worship me.” 10 Then saith -Jesus unto_him, “'Get_ thee_hence, sSatan : for it_is_written, *THOU_SHALT_WORSHIP 4 the Lorp THY «Gop, Anp HIM ONLY SHALT_THOU_ * SERVE.’” it Then the @devil leaveth Him, and, behold, angels came and “ministered unto_Him. 12 Now when «Jesus had_heard that
‘| John was_cast_into_prison, He_depart-
ed into “Galilee. 13 And «leaving -Nazareth, -+He_
-|came and dwelt in Capernaum, which
is upon_the_sea_coast, in the borders of_z Zabulon, and » Nephthalim :
14 That_it_-might_be_fulfilled which was_spoken ‘by ‘Esaias the prophet, saying,

19 And He-saith unto_them, “c*Follow Me, and J_will_make you fishers of_ men.”
2 And they straightway -left their ad-nets, and followed Him.
21 And -sgoing_on from_thence, He_|q

in a rship with Zebedee their -father,
mending their ¢-nets; and He_called em

23 And -Jesus “went about all -Gali- lee, teaching in their -synagogues, and preaching the 7 gospel of_the kingdom, and healing all_manner_of sickness and all_manner_of disease among the people.
24 And His -fame wv went throughout all “Syria: and they_brought unto Him all -sick_people +that_were_taken_with divers diseases and torments, and d those _which _ were _ possessed _ with _ devils, and +those_which_were_lunatic, and »pthose_that_had_the_palsy; and He_healed them.
2 And there_followed Him great mul- titudes of people from ,rom Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond -Jordan.
AND «seeing the multitudes, He_ went_up into @ -mountain: and -+when He was-_set, His disciples came_ unto_Him: 2 And -sHe_opened His -mouth, and -taught them, saying, 3 “Blessed are the =poor in -spirit: for their’s is the kingdom of_t-=heaven.

2 Therefore when thou _doest thine -alms, -do not sound_a_trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the syna- gogues and in the /streets, that they_ ‘may_have_glory of "men. «Verily I_ say unto_you, They_/ have their /-re- ward,
3 But +when thou doest alms, -let not thy -left_hand know what thy -right hand 'doeth :
4That thine -alms may_bein secret ; and thy -Father which seethin «secret Himself shall_* reward thee openly.
5 And when thou_prayest, thou_shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they_ ‘love to_pray “standing in the syna- gogues and in the corners of _the ostreets, that they may _be_seen _ of “men. «Verily [say unto_you, They_ have their «reward.
6 But thow, when thou prayest, -enter into thy «closet, and when_thou_hast_ shut thy «door, pray to thy -Father which_is in -secret; and thy -Father eswhich seeth in -secret shall_reward thee ~openly. 1
7 But +when_ye_pray, suse not vain_
, repetitions, as the v=heathen do: for
they_think that they_shall_be_heard ‘for their “much_speaking.
8 -Be not ye therefore like unto_ them: for your «Father ‘“knoweth what_things ye_have need_of, before rye cask Him.
® After_this.manner therefore 'pray
. |pe: ‘Our Father which_art in =heaven,
-Hallowed_be Thy -name.
10 Thy «kingdom -come. Thy -will
. |*be_done, a« oin rearth, as 7t 7s in hea-

;| forgive our.«debtors.
13 And «lead us not into temptation,
-| but -deliver us from -evil: for Thine is
the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, «for «-=ever. Amen.’
14 For if ye--forgive -men their -tres- passes, your sheavenly «Father will also forgive you:
15 But if yeforgive not “men their

etrespasses, neither will your -Father forgive your
16 Moreover when ye_fast, 'be not, as the hypocrites, of_a_sad_countenance : for they disfigure their they_-may_appear unto -men +to_fast. «Verily I_say unto_you, They_/« have their }-reward.
7 But tho, +when _ thou _ fastest, ‘anoint thine -head, and -wash thy face;
18 That thou ‘appear not unto -men 4to_fast, but unto_thy -Father which_ is in -secret: and thy ~Father, ~which seeth in ropenly.
19 ¢'Lay not up for_yourselves trea- sures upon cearth, where moth and rust doth_corrupt, and where thieves break_through and steal:
20 But &lay_up for yourselves trea- sures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth_corrupt, and where thieves do not break_through nor steal :
21 For where your rtreasure is, there will your heart be also.
2 The llight of_the body is the eye: if therefore thine -eye be cl single, thy whole ~body shall_be full_of_light.
°3 But if thine ~eye be evil, thy whole body shall_be full_of_darkness. therefore the light that_is be darkness, how great ts that cdark- ness!
24 No_o man can serve two masters : for either he will_hate the one, and Hove the other; or_else he_will_hold_ to the one, and ‘despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and » mammon.
25 Therefore I_say unto_you, 'Take no athought for your /-life, what ye_ sshall_eat, or what ye_-shall_drink ; nor yet for your “body, what ye_-shall_put_ on. Is not the /life more than /*meat, and the body than -raiment ?
26 lo*Behold the fowls of_the air: for they_sow not, neither do_they_reap, nor gather into barns; yet your -heavenly ‘Father feedeth them. Are pe not much better than_they ?
27 ,bWhich of you by -taking_ athought can add one cubit unto his «stature ?
28 And why 'take_ye_«thought ¢ for} ,2-
raiment? co Consider the lilies of_the field, how they_grow; they_toil not, neither do_they_spin :
29 And_yet I_say unto_you, That even Solomon in all his «glory was not ar- rayed like one of_these.
30 Wherefore, if -God so clothe the grass of_the field, which to_day +is, and to_morrow +is_cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O_ ye_of_little_faith ?
31 Therefore ‘take no «thought, say- ing, ‘What -shall_we_eat?’ or, ‘What *shall_we _ drink?’ or, ‘Wherewithal *shall_we_be_clothed ?’
32 (For after all these things do the nGentiles seek:) for your sheavenly -Father “knoweth that_ye_have_need_ of all these_things.
33 But 'seek_ye first the kingdom of_ -God, and His -righteousness; and all these_things shall_be_added_unto you.

83 And why beholdest_thou the «mote that_is in thy ~brother’s reye, but 'con- siderest not the beam that_is in -thine_ own eye?
4Or how wilt_thou_say to_thy ~bro- ther, ‘-Let_me pull_out the «mote f out_of_thine reye;’ and, behold, a beam 7s in thine_own
5 Thou_hypocrite, first -cast_out the beam out_of thine_own -eye; and then shalt_thou_see_clearly to_*cast_out the «mote out_of thy ~brother’s eye.
6 -Give not that_which_is holy unto_ the dogs, neither -cast_ye your ~pearls before -swine, lest they_*trample them under their «feet, and +turn_again and ‘rend you.
7 'Ask, and it_shall_be_given you; 'seek, and ye_shall_find ; 'knock, and it_ shall_be_opened unto_you:
8 For every_one that asketh re- ceiveth ; and ~he_that seeketh findeth; and to_him_that knocketh it_shall_ be_opened.
9 Or what man is_there of you, whom if his -son ‘ask bread, will_he_give him a stone?

1l Tf pe then, being evil, “know_how to_give good gifts unto_your «children, how-much more shall your «Father which-is in ‘-=heaven'give good_things to -them_that ask Him? /
12 Therefore all_things whatsoever ye_'would that -men 'should_do to_ you, 'do pe even so to_them : for this is the law and the prophets.

23 And then will_I_profess unto_them, ‘I_never knew you: 'depart from Me, ~aye_that work / ciniquity.’ :
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these w sayings of_Mine, and_doeth them, I_ will_liken him unto_a_p wise man, which built his “house upon a ¢rrock :
2 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat_upon that “house; and it_fell not: for it_’«"'was_founded upon a@ ¢ crock.

27 And the rain descended, and. the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat_upon that chouse: and it_fell: and great ~was the fall of_it.”
28 And it_came_to_pass, when “Jesus had_ended these w-sayings, the ™ =peo- ple “were_astonished at His doctrine :
2 For He we-staught them as one haying authority, and not as the scribes.
ntsWHEN He was -come-_down 8 from the mountain, great multi- tudes followed Him.
2 And, behold, there came a leper and “worshipped Him, saying, “ Lord, if Thou_'wilt, Thou 'canst ‘make me clean.”
3 And «Jesus -4put_forth His hand, and touched him, saying, “Iwill; «*be_thou_clean.” And immediately his -leprosy was_cleansed.
4 And «Jesus saith unto_him, “'See Fic
thou_-tell no_oman ; but 'go_thy_way, *shew thyself to_the priest, and -offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto_them.”
5 And s:when «Jesus was_entered into Capernaum, there_came unto_Him a centurion, beseeching Him,
6 And saying, “Lord my yservant ‘lieth at home psick_of_the_palsy, grievously tormented.”
7 And «Jesus saith unto_him, “£ -swill_come and theal him.”
* Pp. 8 ,aThe centurion answered ands.

10 When Jesus *+heard 7t, He_mar- velled, and said to_“them_that fol- lowed, “a Verily I_say unto_you, I_ shave not found so_great faith, no, not in -Israél.

22 But the schildren of_the kingdom shall_be_cast_out into outer -dark- ness; there shall_be -weeping and -gnashing of_-teeth.”
13 And «Jesus said unto_the centu- rion, “'Go_thy_way ; and as thou_shast_ believed, so -be_it_done unto_thee.” And his y-servant was-healed in the selfsame hour.
14 And «when -Jesus was_come into Peter’s house, He saw his -wife’s_mo- ther “laid, and +sick_of_a fever.
15 And He_touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she_arose, and “ministered unto_them.
16 When the even *+was_come, they_ brought unto_Him many ¢e that_were_ possessed_with_devils: and He cast _ out the spirits with _His_word, and healed all that_were sick :
7 That it_-might_be_fulfilled which was_spoken tby iEsaias the prophet, | Saying, “HIMSELF TOOK OUR ‘INFIRMI-
. | TIES, AND BARE OU? *SICKNESSES.”
18 Now -+when «Jesus saw great mul- titudes about Him, He_gave_command- meut to_-depart unto the other_side. ~
19 And oa_certain scribe h-scame, and said unto_Him, “‘« Master, I_will_follow Thee whithersoever Thou_goest.”
20 And -Jesus saith unto_him, “The z |foxes have holes, and the birds of_the
-|air have nests; but the Son of_-man hath not where to_lay His -head.”
21 And another of_His «disciples said in.| unto_Him, “Lord, -suffer me first to_ d-go and -bury my rfather.” ~
= But Jesus said unto_him, “'Follow Me; and «let the =dead bury “their -=dead.”
23 And «when He was_entered into a eship, His -disciples followed Him.
24 And, behold, there_arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was_coyered 2 with the waves: but
« He “was_asleep.
2 And His disciples scame_to Him, rs and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save : us: we_perish.”
3. Ps. 89.9 26 And He-saith unto_them, “Why
Wi. |are_ye fearful, O_ye_of_little_faith ?” Then ++He_arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there ewas a great calm.
27 But the men marvelled, saying, “What_manner_of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him!”
28 And -twhen He was_come to the other_side into the country of_the Ger- gesenes, there_met Him two de possess- ed _with _deyils, coming_out of _ the tombs, exceeding fierce, so_that no_ oman might -pass by that -way.
29 And, behold, they_cried_out, say- ing, “ What haye_we_to_do with Thee, Jesus, Thou Son of_-God? -art_Thou_ come hither to_-torment us before the time?”
20 And there_“was a good_way_ off from them a herd of_many swine feed- ing.

31 So the @ devils ~besought Him, say- ing, “If Thou_'cast_us_out, suffer us to_ *go_away into the herd of_-swine:”
32 And He said unto_them, “'Go.” And *swhen they were_come_out, they_ w went into the herd of_-swine ; and, be- hold, the whole herd of_-swine ran_ violently down a «steep_place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
33 And -+they_that / kept_them fled, and *+went_their_ways into the city, and told =every_thing, and =what_was_ befallen_to the de possessed _ of _ the — devils,
3+ And, behold, the whole city came_ out to meet -Jesus: and -+when_they_ saw Him, they_besought Him that He_ -would_depart /* out_of their «coasts. 9 AND -+He_entered into a «ship, and
passed_over, and. came into ~His_ own city.
2 And, behold, they_~brought to_Him a pman_sick_of_the_palsy, “lying on a cobed: and «Jesus *seeing their +faith
said unto _ the _ sick _ of _the_palsy ;|2
“eSon, 'be_of_good_cheer; thy «sins “be_forgiven thee.”
3 And, behold, certain of_the scribes said within themselves, “This man blas- phemeth.”
4 And «Jesus s-knowing their «thoughts said, “Wherefore think pe =evil in your thearts?
5 For whether is easier, to_+say, ‘ Thy esins ‘be_forgiven thee;’ or to_say, ‘-Arise, and 'walk ?’
6 But that ye_-may_know that the Son of_-man hath « power on earth to_for-! give sins,” (then saith_He to_the » sick_ of _ the _ palsy,) “-+Arise, -take_up thy co-bed, and 'go unto thine -house.”
7 And *she_arose, and departed to his rhouse.
8 But when the multitudes saw 7f, they _marvelled, and glorified -God, which *+had_giyen such « power unto -men.
9 And 4as “Jesus passed_forth from_ thence, He_saw a man, «named Mat- thew, sitting at the receipt_of_custom : and He-_saith_unto him, “'Follow Me.” And -the_arose, and followed Him.
10 And it_came_to_pass, +as ‘Jesus rsat at meat in the house, .« behold many ‘publicans and sinners came and r~sat_down _with Him and His disciples.
