The Genealogy of Jesus Christ

The historical record of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham:

So all the generations from Abraham to David were 14 generations; and from David until the exile to Babylon, 14 generations; and from the exile to Babylon until the Messiah, 14 generations.

Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, along the sea road, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles!

The gentle are blessed, for they will inherit the earth.

And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing out of the ordinary? Don’t even the Gentiles do the same?

An Unresponsive Generation

“To what should I compare this generation? It’s like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to each other:

All of you, take up My yoke and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves.

But He answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation demands a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation; and look—something greater than Jonah is here!

The queen of the south will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and look—something greater than Solomon is here!

Then off it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and settle down there. As a result, that man’s last condition is worse than the first. That’s how it will also be with this evil generation.”

Miraculous Healings

Once they crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.

A Gentile Mother’s Faith

When Jesus left there, He withdrew to the area of Tyre and Sidon.

An evil and adulterous generation demands a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” Then He left them and went away.

Jesus replied, “You unbelieving and rebellious generation! How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.”

Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my business? Are you jealous because I’m generous?’

Then they will hand Him over to the Gentiles to be mocked, flogged, and crucified, and He will be resurrected on the third day.”

But Jesus called them over and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles dominate them, and the men of high position exercise power over them.

Tell Daughter Zion, “Look, your King is coming to you, gentle, and mounted on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.”

I assure you: All these things will come on this generation!

I assure you: This generation will certainly not pass away until all these things take place.

Miraculous Healings

When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and beached the boat.

A Gentile Mother’s Faith

He got up and departed from there to the region of Tyre and Sidon. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it, but He could not escape notice.

But sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? I assure you: No sign will be given to this generation!”

For whoever is ashamed of Me and of My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
