and Jesse fathered King David.

Then David fathered Solomon by Uriah’s wife,

Then after the exile to Babylon
Jechoniah fathered Shealtiel,
Shealtiel fathered Zerubbabel,

So then, all the generations from Abraham unto David, are, fourteen, generations, and, from David unto the removal to Babylon, fourteen, generations; and, from the removal to Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen, generations.

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

Then they answered him, In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet,

Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search carefully for the Child; and when you have found Him, report to me, so that I too may come and worship Him.”

The Astrologers heard what the King had to say, and then continued their journey. And the star which they had seen in the east led them on, until it reached, and stood over, the place where the child was.

And after entering the house, they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then, after opening their treasure chests, they presented to Him gifts [fit for a king, gifts] of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Then they were warned by God in a [supernatural] dream not to return to Herod, so they left and returned to their own country by a different route.

Then he got up, took the child and his mother during the night, and went to Egypt.

where he stay'd till the death of Herod: so that what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt have I called my son," was then fulfill'd.

Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,

Then when Herod was dead, an angel from the Lord appeared in a [supernatural] dream to Joseph [while he was still] in Egypt, saying,

Then Joseph got up, and took the Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.

But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Then after being warned by God in a dream, he left for the regions of Galilee,

Then he went and settled in a town called Nazareth to fulfill what was spoken through the prophets, that He will be called a Nazarene.

THEN in those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the desert country of Judea,

Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,

Let your life, then, prove your repentance;

And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; every tree then which does not give good fruit is cut down, and put into the fire.

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.

But John tried to prevent him. "It is I," he said, "who need to be baptized by you; why then do you come to me?"

And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

Then he consented. And after Jesus was baptized, as soon as he rose out of the water, lo! the heavens opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon him,

Then a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with him!"

Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

and [after he] had fasted forty days and forty nights, then he was hungry.

Then the tempter approached Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

Then the Devil took Him to the top of an exceedingly lofty mountain, from which he caused Him to see all the Kingdoms of the world and their splendour,

Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near!”

Then immediately quitting their nets they followed him.

Going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. Then he called them.

Then they instantly quitting the ship and their father, followed him.

Then Jesus travelled through all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity among the people.

Then the news about Him spread throughout Syria. So they brought to Him all those who were afflicted, those suffering from various diseases and intense pains, the demon-possessed, the epileptics, and the paralytics. And He healed them.

THEN seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and seating himself, his disciples came to him:

Then He began to teach them, saying,

"You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.

Nor is a lamp lighted to be put under a bushel, but on the lampstand; and then it gives light to all in the house.

For it is true when I say, not one little letter or even a portion of a letter will be removed from the law of Moses until everything is accomplished [that is required by them]. [When that happens, then] heaven and earth will pass away [i.e., be destroyed. See II Peter 3:12].

Whosoever then shall do away with one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of the heavens; but whosoever shall practise and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.

“For I say to you that unless your righteousness (uprightness, moral essence) is more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

If then you are making an offering at the altar and there it comes to your mind that your brother has something against you,

Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

If your right eye makes you stumble and leads you to sin, tear it out and throw it away [that is, remove yourself from the source of temptation]; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

If your right hand makes you stumble and leads you to sin, cut it off and throw it away [that is, remove yourself from the source of temptation]; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.

But I tell you that whoever divorces his wife for any other ground than unfaithfulness, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a wife who is thus divorced commits adultery.

Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:

Nor, by thine own head, mayest thou swear, because thou art not able to make, one hair, white or black.

But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

and if any one would go to law with thee, to take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also, rather than strive with him:

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

Be then complete in righteousness, even as your Father in heaven is complete.

Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

But when thou doest thine alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.

So then you must not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

Let this then be your prayer: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

For if you forgive men their trespasses, then your heavenly Father will forgive you;

But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.

But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

Are ye not much better than they? And which of you by taking thought can add to his age the smallest measure?

And why care ye then for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They labor not, neither spin:

So, if God so [beautifully] dresses the grass in a field, which is [green] today, and [then] tomorrow [dries up and] is thrown in the oven [i.e., as fuel], will He not do even more in providing your clothing, you people with such little faith?

Then do not be full of care, saying, What are we to have for food or drink? or, With what may we be clothed?

But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.

Then have no care for tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Take the trouble of the day as it comes.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

"Give not that which is holy to the dogs, nor throw your pearls to the swine; otherwise they will trample them under their feet and then turn and attack you.

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

“So then, in everything treat others the same way you want them to treat you, for this is [the essence of] the Law and the [writings of the] Prophets.

Take heed then of false prophets, who come to you in the garb of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

By their fruits then surely ye shall know them.

many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name, and in thy name have cast out devils, and in thy name have wrought many miracles? and I will then declare unto them,

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Everyone, then, to whom my words come and who does them, will be like a wise man who made his house on a rock;

Just then a person with an infectious skin disease came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can heal me."

Then Jesus put out his hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be clean." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Then Jesus told him, “See that you don’t tell anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses prescribed, as a testimony to them.”

Then as Jesus was entering into Capernaum, there met him a centurion, intreating him,

Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; it will be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was restored to health at that very hour.

And then Jesus went to Peter's house, and saw his wife's mother lying, sick of a fever.

So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. Then she got up and began to serve Him.
