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

The son of Abraham was Isaac; and the son of Isaac was Jacob; and the sons of Jacob were Judah and his brothers;

And the sons of Judah were Perez and Zerah by Tamar; and the son of Perez was Hezron; and the son of Hezron was Ram;

And the son of Ram was Amminadab; and the son of Amminadab was Nahshon; and the son of Nahshon was Salmon;

And the son of Salmon by Rahab was Boaz; and the son of Boaz by Ruth was Obed; and the son of Obed was Jesse;

And the son of Jesse was David the king; and the son of David was Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;

And the son of Solomon was Rehoboam; and the son of Rehoboam was Abijah; and the son of Abijah was Asa;

And the son of Asa was Jehoshaphat; and the son of Jehoshaphat was Joram; and the son of Joram was Uzziah;

And the son of Uzziah was Jotham; and the son of Jotham was Ahaz; and the son of Ahaz was Hezekiah;

And the son of Hezekiah was Manasseh; and the son of Manasseh was Amon; and the son of Amon was Josiah;

And after the taking away to Babylon, Jechoniah had a son Shealtiel; and Shealtiel had Zerubbabel;

And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is Christ.

But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.

And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.

See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us.

And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.

Saying, Where is the King of the Jews whose birth has now taken place? We have seen his star in the east and have come to give him worship.

Then Herod sent for the wise men privately, and put questions to them about what time the star had been seen.

And he sent them to Beth-lehem and said, Go and make certain where the young child is; and when you have seen him, let me have news of it, so that I may come and give him worship.

And was there till the death of Herod; so that the word of the Lord through the prophet might come true, Out of Egypt have I sent for my son.

Saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin; for the kingdom of heaven is near.

Let your change of heart be seen in your works:

And a voice came out of heaven, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

And the Evil One came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, give the word for these stones to become bread.

If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down; for it is in the Writings, He will give his angels care over you; and, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.

From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near.

And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the boat with their father, stitching up their nets; and he said, Come.

You are the light of the world. A town put on a hill may be seen by all.

So that you may be the sons of your Father in heaven; for his sun gives light to the evil and to the good, and he sends rain on the upright man and on the sinner.

Take care not to do your good works before men, to be seen by them; or you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

And when you make your prayers, be not like the false-hearted men, who take pleasure in getting up and saying their prayers in the Synagogues and at the street turnings so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

Make a request, and it will be answered; what you are searching for you will get; give the sign, and the door will be open to you:

Because to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire, and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.

Or which of you, if his son makes a request for bread, will give him a stone?

And when these words came to the ears of Jesus he was surprised, and said to those who came after him, Truly I say to you, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.

And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have a resting-place; but the Son of man has nowhere to put his head.

And they gave a loud cry, saying, What have we to do with you, you Son of God? Have you come here to give us punishment before the time?

And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.

But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill,) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.

And when Jesus went on from there, two blind men came after him, crying out, Have mercy on us, you Son of David.

And when the evil spirit had been sent out, the man had the power of talking: and they were all surprised, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.

Now the names of the twelve are these: The first, Simon, who is named Peter, and Andrew, his brother; James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother;

Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew, the tax-farmer; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

But when they are cruel to you in one town, go in flight to another: for truly, I say to you, You will not have gone through the towns of Israel before the Son of man comes.

He who has more love for his father or mother than for me is not good enough for me; he who has more love for son or daughter than for me is not good enough for me.

The Son of man has come feasting, and they say, See, a lover of food and wine, a friend of tax-farmers and sinners! And wisdom is judged to be right by her works.

All things have been given to me by my Father; and no one has knowledge of the Son, but the Father; and no one has knowledge of the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.

For the Son of man is lord of the Sabbath.

And all the people were surprised and said, Is not this the Son of David?

So I say to you, Every sin and every evil word against God will have forgiveness; but for evil words against the Spirit there will be no forgiveness.

And whoever says a word against the Son of man, will have forgiveness; but whoever says a word against the Holy Spirit, will not have forgiveness in this life or in that which is to come.

For by your words will your righteousness be seen, and by your words you will be judged.

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees, hearing this, said to him, Master, we are looking for a sign from you.

But he, answering, said to them, An evil and false generation is looking for a sign; and no sign will be given to it but the sign of the prophet Jonah:

For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the stomach of the great fish, so will the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

And when the sun was high, it was burned; and because it had no root it became dry and dead.

But when the green stem came up and gave fruit, the evil plants were seen at the same time.

And he made answer and said, He who puts the good seed in the earth is the Son of man;

The Son of man will send out his angels, and they will take out of his kingdom everything which is a cause of error, and all those who do wrong,

Then will the upright be shining as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him give ear.

Is not this the woodworker's son? is not his mother named Mary? and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

And those who were in the boat gave him worship, saying, Truly you are the Son of God.

And a woman of Canaan came out from those parts, crying and saying, Have pity on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is greatly troubled with an unclean spirit.

And the Pharisees and Sadducees came and, testing him, made a request to him to give them a sign from heaven.

An evil and false generation is searching after a sign; and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah. And he went away from them.

Now when Jesus had come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he said, questioning his disciples, Who do men say that the Son of man is?

And Simon Peter made answer and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he will give to every man the reward of his works.

Truly I say to you, There are some of those here who will not have a taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

And he was changed in form before them; and his face was shining like the sun, and his clothing became white as light.

While he was still talking, a bright cloud came over them: and a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased; give ear to him.

And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus gave them orders, saying, Let no man have word of what you have seen, till the Son of man has come again from the dead.

But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they had no knowledge of him, but did to him whatever they were pleased to do; the same will the Son of man undergo at their hands.

Lord have mercy on my son: for he is off his head, and is in great pain; and frequently he goes falling into the fire, and frequently into the water.

And while they were going about in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man will be given up into the hands of men;

And he said in answer, Have you not seen in the Writings, that he who made them at the first made them male and female, and said,

And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you that in the time when all things are made new, and the Son of man is seated in his glory, you who have come after me will be seated on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

See, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be given into the hands of the chief priests and scribes; and they will give orders for him to be put to death,

Even as the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.

And two blind men seated by the wayside, when they had the news that Jesus was going by, gave a loud cry, saying, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.

And the people gave them orders to be quiet; but they went on crying even louder, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.

Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your King comes to you, gentle and seated on an ass, and on a young ass.

And those who went before him, and those who came after, gave loud cries, saying, Glory to the Son of David: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord: Glory in the highest.

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the works of power which he did, and the children crying out in the Temple, Glory to the son of David, they were angry and said to him,

Have you any idea what these are saying? And Jesus said to them, Yes: have you not seen in the Writings, From the lips of children and babies at the breast you have made your praise complete?

But how does it seem to you? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go and do work today in the vine-garden.

But after that he sent his son to them, saying, They will have respect for my son.

But when the workmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death and take his heritage.

The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a feast when his son was married,

What is your opinion of the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, The Son of David.

If David then gives him the name of Lord, how is he his son?

But all their works they do so as to be seen by men: for they make wide their phylacteries, and the edges of their robes,

A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you go about land and sea to get one disciple and, having him, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

So that on you may come all the blood of the upright on the earth, from the blood of upright Abel to the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom you put to death between the Temple and the altar.

And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Make clear to us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?

Because as in a thunderstorm the bright light coming from the east is seen even in the west; so will be the coming of the Son of man.

But straight away, after the trouble of those days, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her light and the stars will come down from heaven and the powers of heaven will be moved:

And then the sign of the Son of man will be seen in heaven: and then all the nations of the earth will have sorrow, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

But of that day and hour no one has knowledge, not even the angels in heaven, or the Son, but the Father only.

And as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man.
