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

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

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.

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, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

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

But he said to them, "Haven't you read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him;

All the multitudes were amazed, and said, "Can this be the son of David?"

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 demonized!"

Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!"

The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, "Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!"

The multitudes who went before him, and who followed kept shouting, "Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the son of David!" they were indignant,

saying, "What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "Of David."

He said to them, "How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,

"If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?"
