A roll of the birth of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham.

and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was begotten Jesus, who is named Christ.

All the generations, therefore, from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations, and from David unto the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal unto the Christ, fourteen generations.

And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: For his mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from the Holy Spirit,

and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born.

And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,

and Simon Peter answering said, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

Then did he charge his disciples that they may say to no one that he is Jesus the Christ.

saying, 'What do ye think concerning the Christ? of whom is he son?' They say to him, 'Of David.'

And ye -- ye may not be called Rabbi, for one is your director -- the Christ, and all ye are brethren;

nor may ye be called directors, for one is your director -- the Christ.

for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall lead many astray,

Then if any one may say to you, Lo, here is the Christ! or here! ye may not believe;

and Jesus was silent. And the chief priest answering said to him, 'I adjure thee, by the living God, that thou mayest say to us, if thou art the Christ -- the Son of God.'

saying, 'Declare to us, O Christ, who he is that struck thee?'

they therefore having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, 'Whom will ye I shall release to you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?'

Pilate saith to them, 'What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?' They all say to him, 'Let be crucified!'

A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God.

And he saith to them, 'And ye -- who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering saith to him, 'Thou art the Christ.'

for whoever may give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because ye are Christ's, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward;

And Jesus answering said, teaching in the temple, 'How say the scribes that the Christ is son of David?

And then, if any may say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Lo, there, ye may not believe;

and he was keeping silent, and did not answer anything. Again the chief priest was questioning him, and saith to him, 'Art thou the Christ -- the Son of the Blessed?'

The Christ! the king of Israel -- let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those crucified with him were reproaching him.

because there was born to you to-day a Saviour -- who is Christ the Lord -- in the city of David,

and it hath been divinely told him by the Holy Spirit -- not to see death before he may see the Christ of the Lord.

And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;

And demons also were coming forth from many, crying out and saying -- 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of God;' and rebuking, he did not suffer them to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.

and he said to them, 'And ye -- who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering said, 'The Christ of God.'

And he said unto them, 'How do they say the Christ to be son of David,

saying, 'If thou be the Christ, tell us.' And he said to them, 'If I may tell you, ye will not believe;

and began to accuse him, saying, 'This one we found perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ a king.'

And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, 'Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.'

And one of the evil-doers who were hanged, was speaking evil of him, saying, 'If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us.'

Was it not behoving the Christ these things to suffer, and to enter into his glory?'

and he said to them -- 'Thus it hath been written, and thus it was behoving the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead the third day,

for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come;

and he confessed and did not deny, and confessed -- 'I am not the Christ.'

and they questioned him and said to him, 'Why, then, dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?'

ye yourselves do testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am having been sent before him;

The woman saith to him, 'I have known that Messiah doth come, who is called Christ, when that one may come, he will tell us all things;'

Come, see a man, who told me all things -- as many as I did; is this the Christ?'

and said to the woman -- 'No more because of thy speaking do we believe; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly the Saviour of the world -- the Christ.'

and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?

but this one -- we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.'

and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said -- 'The Christ -- when he may come -- will he do more signs than these that this one did?'

others said, 'This is the Christ;' and others said, 'Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come?

Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem -- the village where David was -- the Christ doth come?'

These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him -- Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;

the Jews, therefore, came round about him, and said to him, 'Till when our soul dost thou hold in suspense? if thou art the Christ, tell us freely.'

believest thou this?' she saith to him, 'Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'

the multitude answered him, 'We heard out of the law that the Christ doth remain -- to the age; and how dost thou say, That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this -- the Son of Man?'

and this is the life age-during, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and him whom Thou didst send -- Jesus Christ;

and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.'

a prophet, therefore, being, and knowing that with an oath God did swear to him, out of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up the Christ, to sit upon his throne,

having foreseen, he did speak concerning the rising again of the Christ, that his soul was not left to hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.

assuredly, therefore, let all the house of Israel know, that both Lord and Christ did God make him -- this Jesus whom ye did crucify.'

and Peter said unto them, 'Reform, and be baptized each of you on the name of Jesus Christ, to remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,

and Peter said, 'Silver and gold I have none, but what I have, that I give to thee; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and be walking.'

and God, what things before He had declared through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ should suffer, He did thus fulfil;

and He may send Jesus Christ who before hath been preached to you,

be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye did crucify, whom God did raise out of the dead, in him hath this one stood by before you whole.

the kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ;

every day also in the temple, and in every house, they were not ceasing teaching and proclaiming good news -- Jesus the Christ.

And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching to them the Christ,

And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the reign of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women;

And Philip said, 'If thou dost believe out of all the heart, it is lawful;' and he answering said, 'I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God;'

and immediately in the synagogues he was preaching the Christ, that he is the Son of God.

And Saul was still more strengthened, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.

and Peter said to him, 'Aeneas, heal thee doth Jesus the Christ; arise and spread for thyself;' and immediately he rose,

the word that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news -- peace through Jesus Christ (this one is Lord of all,)

if then the equal gift God did give to them as also to us, having believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, I -- how was I able to withstand God?'

but, through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, even as also they.'

men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ --

and this she was doing for many days, but Paul having been grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, 'I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her;' and it came forth the same hour.

and they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved -- thou and thy house;'

opening and alleging, 'That the Christ it behoved to suffer, and to rise again out of the dead, and that this is the Christ -- Jesus whom I proclaim to you.'

And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the Spirit, testifying fully to the Jews Jesus the Christ;

for powerfully the Jews he was refuting publicly, shewing through the Writings Jesus to be the Christ.

And Paul said, 'John, indeed, did baptize with a baptism of reformation, saying to the people that in him who is coming after him they should believe -- that is, in the Christ -- Jesus;'

testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, toward God reformation, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

And after certain days, Felix having come with Drusilla his wife, being a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith toward Christ,

that the Christ is to suffer, whether first by a rising from the dead, he is about to proclaim light to the people and to the nations.'

preaching the reign of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness -- unforbidden.

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, having been separated to the good news of God --

who is marked out Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the rising again from the dead,) Jesus Christ our Lord;

among whom are also ye, the called of Jesus Christ;

to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints; Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ!

first, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world;

for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek.

in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my good news, through Jesus Christ.

and the righteousness of God is through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, -- for there is no difference,

being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

For in our being still ailing, Christ in due time did die for the impious;

and God doth commend His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ did die for us;

And not only so, but we are also boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we did receive the reconciliation;

But, not as the offence so also is the free gift; for if by the offence of the one the many did die, much more did the grace of God, and the free gift in grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abound to the many;

for if by the offence of the one the death did reign through the one, much more those, who the abundance of the grace and of the free gift of the righteousness are receiving, in life shall reign through the one -- Jesus Christ.
