   The Gospel According to Matthew   
   CHAPTER 1   
   Matthew 1:1   
   1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of   
   Abraham.   
   Matthew 1:2   
   2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his   
   brethren;   
   Matthew 1:3   
   3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom   
   begat Aram;   
   Matthew 1:4   
   4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat   
   Salmon;   
   Matthew 1:5   
   5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed   
   begat Jesse;   
   Matthew 1:6   
   6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that   
   had been the wife of Urias;   
   Matthew 1:7   
   7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; Matthew   
   1:8   
   8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;   
   Matthew 1:9   
   9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;   
   Matthew 1:10   
   10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;   
   Matthew 1:11   
   11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were   
   carried away to Babylon:   
   Matthew 1:12   
   12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and   
   Salathiel begat Zorobabel;   
   Matthew 1:13   
   13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;   
   Matthew 1:14   
   14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; Matthew   
   1:15   
   15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;   
   Matthew 1:16   
   16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is   
   called Christ.   
   Matthew 1:17   
   17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and   
   from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and   
   from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.   
   Matthew 1:18   
   18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was   
   espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of   
   the Holy Ghost.   
   Matthew 1:19   
   19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a   
   publick example, was minded to put her away privily. Matthew 1:20   
   20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord   
   appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to   
   take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the   
   Holy Ghost.   
   Matthew 1:21   
   21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he   
   shall save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:22   
   22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the   
   Lord by the prophet, saying,   
   Matthew 1:23   
   23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they   
   shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.   
   Matthew 1:24   
   24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden   
   him, and took unto him his wife: Matthew 1:25   
   25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he   
   called his name JESUS.   
   CHAPTER 2   
   Matthew 2:1   
   1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the   
   king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Matthew 2:2   
   2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star   
   in the east, and are come to worship him. Matthew 2:3   
   3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all   
   Jerusalem with him.   
   Matthew 2:4   
   4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people   
   together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. Matthew 2:5   
   5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by   
   the prophet,   
   Matthew 2:6   
   6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes   
   of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people   
   Israel.   
   Matthew 2:7   
   7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them   
   diligently what time the star appeared. Matthew 2:8   
   8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the   
   young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come   
   and worship him also.   
   Matthew 2:9   
   9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they   
   saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the   
   young child was.   
   Matthew 2:10   
   10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. Matthew 2:11   
   11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary   
   his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their   
   treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.   
   Matthew 2:12   
   12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod,   
   they departed into their own country another way. Matthew 2:13   
   13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to   
   Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother,   
   and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will   
   seek the young child to destroy him. Matthew 2:14   
   14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and   
   departed into Egypt:   
   Matthew 2:15   
   15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which   
   was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my   
   son.   
   Matthew 2:16   
   16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding   
   wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and   
   in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time   
   which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. Matthew 2:17   
   17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,   
   Matthew 2:18   
   18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great   
   mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted,   
   because they are not.   
   Matthew 2:19   
   19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream   
   to Joseph in Egypt,   
   Matthew 2:20   
   20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the   
   land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.   
   Matthew 2:21   
   21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the   
   land of Israel.   
   Matthew 2:22   
   22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his   
   father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of   
   God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee: Matthew 2:23   
   23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled   
   which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene. CHAPTER 3   
   Matthew 3:1   
   1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,   
   Matthew 3:2   
   2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 3:3   
   3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice   
   of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his   
   paths straight.   
   Matthew 3:4   
   4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle   
   about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. Matthew 3:5   
   5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round   
   about Jordan,   
   Matthew 3:6   
   6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. Matthew 3:7   
   7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he   
   said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the   
   wrath to come?   
   Matthew 3:8   
   8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: Matthew 3:9   
   9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I   
   say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto   
   Abraham.   
   Matthew 3:10   
   10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every   
   tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.   
   Matthew 3:11   
   11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after   
   me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize   
   you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Matthew 3:12   
   12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather   
   his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable   
   fire.   
   Matthew 3:13   
   13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.   
   Matthew 3:14   
   14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest   
   thou to me?   
   Matthew 3:15   
   15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it   
   becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. Matthew 3:16   
   16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and,   
   lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending   
   like a dove, and lighting upon him: Matthew 3:17   
   17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am   
   well pleased.   
   CHAPTER 4   
   Matthew 4:1   
   1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the   
   devil.   
   Matthew 4:2   
   2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an   
   hungred.   
   Matthew 4:3   
   3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God,   
   command that these stones be made bread. Matthew 4:4   
   4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone,   
   but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Matthew 4:5   
   5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a   
   pinnacle of the temple,   
   Matthew 4:6   
   6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is   
   written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands   
   they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.   
   Matthew 4:7   
   7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy   
   God.   
   Matthew 4:8   
   8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth   
   him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; Matthew 4:9   
   9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall   
   down and worship me.   
   Matthew 4:10   
   10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou   
   shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Matthew 4:11   
   11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto   
   him.   
   Matthew 4:12   
   12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into   
   Galilee;   
   Matthew 4:13   
   13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea   
   coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim: Matthew 4:14   
   14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,   
   Matthew 4:15   
   15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea,   
   beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; Matthew 4:16   
   16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in   
   the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. Matthew 4:17   
   17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom   
   of heaven is at hand.   
   Matthew 4:18   
   18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called   
   Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were   
   fishers.   
   Matthew 4:19   
   19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.   
   Matthew 4:20   
   20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. Matthew 4:21   
   21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of   
   Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending   
   their nets; and he called them.   
   Matthew 4:22   
   22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.   
   Matthew 4:23   
   23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and   
   preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and   
   all manner of disease among the people. Matthew 4:24   
   24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick   
   people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which   
   were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had   
   the palsy; and he healed them. Matthew 4:25   
   25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from   
   Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
