Messiah in the Bible

The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham:

and Jacob fathered Joseph the husband of Mary,
who gave birth to Jesus who is called the Messiah.

So all the generations from Abraham to David were 14 generations; and from David until the exile to Babylon, 14 generations; and from the exile to Babylon until the Messiah, 14 generations.

Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah happened in this way. When his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they lived together she was discovered to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.

So he assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people and asked them where the Messiah would be born.

and saying, "Repent ye: for the kingdom of the Messiah draws nigh."

from that time Jesus began to preach, "Repent, said he, for the kingdom of the Messiah draws nigh."

When John heard in prison what the Messiah was doing, he sent a message by his disciples

Messiah is greater than he.) for ever since the appearance of John the Baptist the gospel kingdom is as it were invaded, and people of the most violent passions enter into it with zeal.

Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God!”

And He gave the disciples orders to tell no one that He was the Messiah.

His disciples asked Him, "Why then [since you are obviously the Messiah] do the experts in the law of Moses say that Elijah must come first, [i.e., before the Messiah]?"

Jesus answered them, "Elijah truly was to come, and restore all things [i.e., to their proper perspective concerning the Messiah].

At the same time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, who is to be the greatest in the kingdom of the Messiah?

he therefore who shall become as void of ambition as this child, he shall be greatest in the kingdom of the Messiah.

For the kingdom of the Messiah is like a family, the master whereof went out early in the morning to hire labourers for his vineyard.

The crowds that went ahead of Him, and those that followed Him, were shouting [in praise and adoration],

“Hosanna to the Son of David (Messiah);
Blessed [praised, glorified] is He who comes in the name of the Lord;
Hosanna in the highest [heaven]!”

the kingdom of the Messiah is such, as when a certain king made a wedding-feast for his son.

“What do you think about the Messiah? Whose Son is He?”

“David’s,” they told Him.

“If David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how then can the Messiah be his Son?”

But be not ye called Rabbi, for one is your leader, the Messiah; and ye all are brethren.

And do not be called masters either, because you have one Master, the Messiah.

for many will come bearing the name of the Messiah, and saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many people.

Then if any shall cry, the Messiah is here, or he is there: give no credit to it.

The kingdom of the Messiah will then be such, as when ten virgins took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.

But Jesus kept silent. Then the high priest said to Him, “By the living God I place You under oath: tell us if You are the Messiah, the Son of God!”

and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah! Who hit You?”

So when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Who is it you want me to release for you—Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Messiah?”

Pilate asked them, “What should I do then with Jesus, who is called Messiah?”

They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

Therefore, give the order to secure the grave site until the third day, so his disciples will not steal his body and then tell the people 'He has risen from the dead.' This last deception would be worse than the first one [i.e., the claim that Jesus rose from the dead would be worse than the claim that he was the Messiah]."
