The History of the life of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

And Jesse the father of David the king, and David had Solomon by her that had been the wife of Urias.

So all the generations from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations: and from David to the Babylonian transmigration, are fourteen generations: and from the Babylonian transmigration unto Christ, are fourteen generations.

but while he was revolving this in his mind, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, the off-spring of David, don't make any difficulty of taking Mary for thy wife: for her pregnancy is from the holy Spirit.

As Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying out, son of David, have mercy on us.

he answer'd them, have ye not read what David and the rest of the company did when they were hungry,

which made the people cry out with amazement, "Is not this the son of David?"

and there came a woman of Canaan from those quarters, and cried out to him, have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously tormented by a demon.

and there were two blind men sitting by the way-side, who hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, "have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David."

and the people reprimanded them, to make them hold their tongue: but they bawl'd out the more, have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.

while the crowd that were marching before, and behind, cried out, "Hosanna to the son of David: blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, Hosanna, Hosanna."

but when the chief priests and Scribes saw the wonders that he did, and the young people crying in the temple, "Hosanna to the son of David;" they were full of indignation.

what think ye of Christ? whose son is he to be? they answered, David's.

how comes it then, said he, that David by inspiration calls him Lord, in these words,

why then does David call him Lord, if He be David's son?
