The family tree of Jesus Christ, a descendant of David, a descendant of Abraham.

Jesse the father of King David. David was the father of Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah's wife;

So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen, from David to the Babylonian Exile fourteen, from the Babylonian Exile to Christ fourteen.

But just as this thought occurred to him, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said, "Joseph, descendant of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for it is through the influence of the Holy Spirit that she has become an expectant mother.

As Jesus was passing along from there, two blind men followed Him, shouting, "Do pity us, O Son of David!"

But He said to them, "Did you never read what David did, when he and his soldiers became hungry?

And all the crowds of people were dumbfounded, and began to say, "He is by no means the Son of David, is He?"

And a Canaanite woman of that district came out and pleaded, saying, "Do pity me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is suffering horrors from a demon."

And two blind men sitting by the roadside heard that Jesus was passing and cried out, "Do pity us, Lord, you Son of David!"

The crowd reproved them and urged them to keep quiet, but they cried out all the louder, "Do pity us, Lord, you Son of David!"

And the crowds that went in front of Him and followed Him shouted: "Welcome the Son of David! Blessed be He who comes in the name of the Lord; Welcome Him from on high!"

But because the high priests and scribes saw the wonders that He did and the children shouting in the temple, "Welcome the Son of David," they were indignant

"What is your opinion of the Christ? Whose son is He?" They answered Him, "He is David's son."

He asked them, "How then does David, under the guidance of the Spirit, call Him Lord, when he says:

If David, then, calls Him Lord, how can He be his son?"
