Matthew 1:2 ¶ Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, Matthew 1:16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ. Matthew 1:17 ¶ So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations. Matthew 1:18 ¶ Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. Matthew 1:19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. Matthew 1:20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. Matthew 1:21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” Matthew All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: Matthew 1:23 ¶ “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” ¶ (which means, God with us).

And he called his name Jesus.

For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” Matthew 2:3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; Matthew 2:4 and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. Matthew 2:5 They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: Matthew 2:6 ¶ “‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’” Matthew 2:7 ¶ Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared. Matthew 2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.” Matthew 2:9 After listening to the ki Support the show
