Messiah in the Bible

This is a record of the life of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

Jacob fathered Joseph, the husband of Mary, who was the mother of Jesus, who is called the Messiah.

So all the generations from Abraham to David totaled fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon totaled fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Messiah there were fourteen 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.

He called together all the high priests and scribes of the people and asked them where the Messiah was to 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."

Now when John heard in prison about the activities of the Messiah, 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!"

Then he strictly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone 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?" They told him, "David's."

“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.

Nor are you to be called "Teachers,' because you have only one teacher, the Messiah!

because many will come in my name and say, "I'm the Messiah,' and they will deceive many people.

"At that time, if anyone says to you, "Look! Here's the Messiah!' or "There he is!', don't believe 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 was silent. Then the high priest told him, "I command you by the living God to tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God!"

saying, Prophesy to us, O Messiah! who it was that struck thee.

So when the people had gathered, Pilate asked them, "Which man do you want me to release for you Barabbas, or Jesus who is called "the Messiah'?"

Pilate asked them, "Then what should I do with Jesus, who is called the Messiah?" They all said, "Let him be crucified!"

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]."
