When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.G1161G1083G2424G5547G2258G3779G1063G846G3384G3137G3423G2501G4250G2228G846G4905G2147G1722G1064G2192G1537G40G415119And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.G1161G2501G846G435G5607G1342G2532G3361G2309G3856G846G3856G1014G630G846G630G297720But 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.G1161G846G1760G5023G2400G32G2962G5316G846G2596G3677G3004G2501G5207G1138G5399G3361G3880G4675G3137G1135G1063G1080G1722G846G2076G1537G40G415121She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."G1161G5088G5207G2532G2564G846G3686G2424G1063G846G4982G846G2992G575G846G26622All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:G1161G3650G5124G1096G2443G4137G3588G4483G5259G2962G1223G4396G300423"Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel" (which means, God with us).G2400G3933G1722G1064G2192G2532G5088G5207G2532G2564G846G3686G1694G3739G3177G2076G2316G3326G225724When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife,G1161G2501G1326G575G5258G4160G5613G32G2962G4367G846G2532G3880G846G113525but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.G2532G1097G846G3756G2193G3739G5088G846G4416G5207G2532G2564G846G3686G2424
Matthew 2
2Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,G1161G2424G1080G1722G965G2449G1722G2250G2264G935G2400G3854G3097G575G395G1519G24142saying, "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him."G3004G4226G2076G5088G935G2453G1063G1492G846G792G1722G395G2532G2064G4352G8463When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;G1161G2264G935G191G5015G2532G3956G2414G3326G8464and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.G2532G4863G3956G749G2532G1122G2992G4863G4441G3844G846G4226G5547G10805They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:G1161G2036G846G1722G965G2449G1063G3779G1125G1223G43966"'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.'"G2532G4771G965G1093G2448G1488G3760G1646G1722G2232G2448G1063G1537G4675G1831G2233G3748G4165G3450G2992G24747Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared.G5119G2264G2977G2564G3097G198G3844G846G198G5550G792G53168And 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."G2532G3992G846G1519G965G2036G4198G1833G199G4012G3813G1161G1875G2147G518G3427G518G3704G2064G4352G846G25049After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was.G1161G191G935G4198G2532G2400G792G3739G1492G1722G395G4254G846G2193G2064G2476G1883G3757G3813G225810When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.G1161G1492G792G5463G4970G3173G547911And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.G2532G2064G1519G3614G2147G1492G3813G3326G3137G846G3384G2532G4098G4352G846G2532G455G846G2344G4374G846G1435G5557G2532G3030G2532G466612And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way.G2532G5537G2596G3677G344G3361G344G4314G2264G402G1519G846G5561G1223G243G359813Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him."G1161G846G402G2400G32G2962G5316G2501G2596G3677G3004G1453G3880G3813G2532G846G3384G2532G5343G1519G125G2532G2468G1563G2193G302G2036G4671G2036G1063G2264G3195G2212G3813G622G84614And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to EgyptG1161G1453G3880G3813G2532G846G3384G3571G2532G402G1519G12515and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, "Out of Egypt I called my son."G2532G2258G1563G2193G5054G2264G2443G4137G3588G4483G5259G2962G1223G4396G3004G1537G125G2564G3450G520716Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, became furious, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men.G5119G2264G1492G3754G1702G5259G3097G3029G2373G2532G649G337G3956G3816G1722G965G2532G1722G3956G3725G846G575G1332G2532G2736G2596G5550G3739G198G3844G309717Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah:G5119G4137G3588G4483G5259G2408G4396G300418"A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be comforted, because they are no more."G1722G4471G191G5456G191G2355G2532G2805G2532G4183G3602G4478G2799G846G5043G2532G2309G3756G3870G3754G1526G375619But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,G1161G2264G5053G2400G32G2962G5316G2596G3677G2501G1722G12520saying, "Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead."G3004G1453G3880G3813G2532G846G3384G2532G4198G1519G1093G2474G1063G2348G3588G2212G3813G559021And he rose and took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel.G1161G1453G3880G3813G2532G846G3384G2532G2064G1519G1093G247422But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream he withdrew to the district of Galilee.G1161G191G3754G745G936G1909G2449G473G846G3962G2264G5399G565G1563G1161G5537G2596G3677G402G1519G3313G105623And he went and lived in a city called Nazareth, that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled: "He shall be called a Nazarene."G2532G2064G2730G1519G4172G3004G3478G3704G4137G3588G4483G1223G4396G3754G2564G3480
Matthew 3
3In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea,G1161G1722G1565G2250G3854G2491G910G2784G1722G2048G24492"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."G2532G3004G3340G1063G932G3772G14483For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.'"G1063G3778G2076G4483G5259G4396G2268G3004G5456G994G1722G2048G2090G3598G2962G4160G846G5147G21174Now John wore a garment of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.G1161G846G2491G2192G846G1742G575G2574G2359G2532G1193G2223G4012G846G3751G1161G846G5160G2258G200G2532G66G31925Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region about the Jordan were going out to him,G5119G1607G4314G846G2414G2532G3956G2449G2532G3956G4066G24466and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.G2532G907G5259G846G1722G2446G1843G846G2667But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?G1161G1492G4183G5330G2532G4523G2064G1909G846G908G2036G846G1081G2191G5101G5263G5213G5343G575G3709G31958Bear fruit in keeping with repentance.G4160G3767G2590G514G33419And do not presume to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father,' for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.G2532G1380G3361G3004G1722G1438G2192G11G3962G1063G3004G5213G3754G2316G1410G1537G5130G3037G1453G5043G1110Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.G1161G2235G2532G513G2749G4314G4491G1186G3767G3956G1186G4160G3361G4160G2570G2590G1581G2532G906G1519G444211"I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.G1473G3303G907G5209G1722G5204G1519G3341G1161G2064G3694G3450G2076G2478G3450G3739G5266G1510G3756G2425G941G846G907G5209G1722G40G4151G2532G444212His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."G3739G4425G1722G846G5495G2532G1245G846G257G2532G4863G846G4621G1519G596G1161G2618G892G762G444213Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.G5119G3854G2424G575G1056G1909G2446G4314G2491G907G5259G84614John would have prevented him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?"G1161G2491G1254G3004G1473G2192G5532G907G5259G4675G2532G2064G4771G4314G316515But Jesus answered him, "Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he consented.G1161G2424G611G2036G4314G846G863G737G1063G3779G4241G2076G2254G4137G3956G1343G5119G863G84616And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him;G2532G2424G907G305G2117G575G5204G2532G2400G3772G455G846G2532G1492G4151G2316G2597G5616G4058G2532G2064G1909G84617and behold, a voice from heaven said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."G2532G2400G5456G1537G3772G3004G3778G2076G3450G27G5207G1722G3739G2106
