he shall be great, he shall be the son of the most high. the Lord God shall give him the throne of his father David.

he hath rais'd up a powerful saviour for us, in the family of his servant David,

so Joseph departed from Nazareth in Galilee, and went into Judea to the city of David, called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and linage of David,

son of Melea, son of Menan, son of Mattatha, son of Nathan, son of David,

but Jesus replied, have you never read what David did, when he and his company were press'd with hunger?

then he cry'd out, Jesus son of David, have pity on me.

those who led the way bid him hold his tongue. but he bawl'd out the louder, son of David have pity on me.

But Jesus said to them, you affirm the Messiah must be descended from David, how can that be?

for in the book of Psalms David himself says, "the Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand,

if then David stiles the Messiah his Lord, how can he be descended from David?
