Bible Reading for October 15
Matthew 1
[1] The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of
Abraham.
[2] Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his
brethren;
[3] And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and
Esrom begat Aram;
[4] And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat
Salmon;
[5] And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed
begat Jesse;
[6] And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her
that had been the wife of Urias;
[7] And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; [8]
And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; [9]
And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
[10] And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat
Josias;
[11] And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were
carried away to Babylon:
[12] And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and
Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
[13] And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat
Azor;
[14] And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; [15]
And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
[16] And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who
is called Christ.
[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.
[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.
[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. [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.
[21] And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for
he shall save his people from their sins. [22] Now all this was done, that it
might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
[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.
[24] Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had
bidden him, and took unto him his wife: [25] And knew her not till she had
brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Matthew 2
[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, [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. [3] When Herod the king had heard these
things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
[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. [5] And they said
unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
[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.
[7] Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them
diligently what time the star appeared. [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.
[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.
[10] When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. [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.
[12] And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod,
they departed into their own country another way. [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. [14] When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by
night, and departed into Egypt:
[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.
[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 inquired of the wise men. [17] Then was fulfilled that
which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, [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.
[19] But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a
dream to Joseph in Egypt,
[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. [21]
And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land
of Israel.
[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: [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.
Matthew 3
[1] In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
[2] And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. [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.
[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. [5] Then went out to
him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
[6] And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. [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?
[8] Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: [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.
[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.
[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: [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.
[13] Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
[14] But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and
comest thou to me?
[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. [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: [17] And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is
my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Matthew 4
[1] Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of
the devil.
[2] And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an
hungred.
[3] And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God,
command that these stones be made bread. [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. [5] Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city,
and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
[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.
[7] Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord
thy God.
[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; [9] And
saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and
worship me.
[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. [11] Then the
devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
[12] Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into
Galilee;
[13] And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the
sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim: [14] That it might be
fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
[15] The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea,
beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; [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. [17] From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent:
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
[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.
[19] And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
[20] And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. [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.
[22] And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
[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. [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. [25]
And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from
Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
