riversident@Matthew:1:4 @ Ram was the father of Amminadab; Amminadab was the father of Nahshon; Nahshon was the father of Salmon;

riversident@Matthew:1:5 @ Salmon was the father of Boaz (note:)Rahab was his mother(:note); Boaz was the father of Obed Ruth was his mother;

riversident@Matthew:1:6 @ Jesse was the father of David the King. David was the father of Solomon (note:)his mother had been Uriah's wife(:note);

riversident@Matthew:1:7 @ Solomon was the father of Rehoboam; Rehoboam was the father of Abijah; Abijah was the father of Asa;

riversident@Matthew:1:8 @ Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat; Jehoshaphat was the father of Joram; Joram was the father of Uzziah;

riversident@Matthew:1:9 @ Uzziah was the father of Jotham; Jotham was the father of Ahaz; Ahaz was the father of Hezekiah;

riversident@Matthew:1:10 @ Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh; Manasseh was the father of Amon; Amon was the father of Josiah;

riversident@Matthew:1:11 @ Josiah was the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the Babylonian exile.

riversident@Matthew:1:12 @ After the Babylonian exile, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel; Shealtiel was the father of Zerubbabel;

riversident@Matthew:1:13 @ Zerubbabel was the father of Abiud; Abiud was the father of Eliakim; Eliakim was the father of Azor;

riversident@Matthew:1:14 @ Azor was the father of Sadoc; Sadoc was the father of Achim; Achim was the father of Eliud;

riversident@Matthew:1:15 @ Eliud was the father of Eleazar; Eleazar was the father of Matthan; Matthan was the father of Jacob;

riversident@Matthew:1:16 @ Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

riversident@Matthew:1:17 @ So there were in all fourteen generations from Abraham to David, and fourteen generations from David to the Babylonian exile, and fourteen generations from the Babylonian exile to the Christ.

riversident@Matthew:1:18 @ The birth of Jesus was in this way: His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, but before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Matthew:1:19 @ Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and yet not willing to make her a public example, resolved to dismiss her privately.

riversident@Matthew:1:20 @ But while he was thinking this over, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for what has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Matthew:1:21 @ She will bear a son and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."

riversident@Matthew:1:22 @ All this happened in fulfillment of what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:

riversident@Matthew:1:23 @ "Behold the virgin will conceive and will bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel" (note:)which means, God is with us(:note).

riversident@Matthew:1:24 @ When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took his wife to his home.

riversident@Matthew:1:25 @ But he did not live with her as a husband until she had borne a son. He called his name Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:2:1 @ AFTER Jesus had been born in Bethlehem, in Judaea, in the days of Herod the King, wise men from the East arrived at Jerusalem,

riversident@Matthew:2:2 @ saying, "Where is he who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the East and have come to do homage to him."

riversident@Matthew:2:3 @ When King Herod heard it, he was disturbed, and so was all Jerusalem.

riversident@Matthew:2:4 @ Then he called together all the high priests and scribes of the people and inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.

riversident@Matthew:2:5 @ They said to him, "In Bethlehem, in Juda. For so it was written by the prophet,

riversident@Matthew:2:6 @ 'And thou, Bethlehem, land of Judah, art by no means least among the leaders of Judah; for from thee will come a leader who will shepherd my people Israel.' "

riversident@Matthew:2:7 @ Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men and learned from them exactly the time of the star's appearance,

riversident@Matthew:2:8 @ and as he sent them to Bethlehem he said, "Go and make careful inquiries about the child, and when you have found him bring me word, so that I too may come and do homage to him."

riversident@Matthew:2:9 @ After hearing the king, they journeyed on, and the star which they had seen in the East went before them until it came and stood over where the child was.

riversident@Matthew:2:10 @ When they saw the star, they were very joyful.

riversident@Matthew:2:11 @ They entered the house and saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and presented to him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

riversident@Matthew:2:12 @ After this they were warned in a dream not to return to Herod, and so went by another mad back to their own country.

riversident@Matthew:2:13 @ After they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph and said, "Rise up, and take the child and his mother and flee into Egypt, and be there until I tell you, for Herod will search for the child in order to kill him."

riversident@Matthew:2:14 @ So Joseph rose up, and took the child and his mother in the night and went away to Egypt,

riversident@Matthew:2:15 @ and was there until the death of Herod, in order that the word of the Lord spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, "Out of Egypt I called my Son."

riversident@Matthew:2:16 @ Then Herod, seeing that he had been outwitted by the wise men, became furious, and sent out and killed all the boy babies two years old and under in Bethlehem and all its neighborhood, guided by the date which he had carefully learned from the wise men.

riversident@Matthew:2:17 @ Then was fulfilled what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet when he said,

riversident@Matthew:2:18 @ "A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and bitter lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be comforted because they are not."

riversident@Matthew:2:19 @ But after Herod had died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt

riversident@Matthew:2:20 @ and said, "Arise, and take the child and his mother and go into the land of Israel, for they are dead who sought the child's life."

riversident@Matthew:2:21 @ So he arose, and took the child and his mother and came into the land of Israel.

riversident@Matthew:2:22 @ But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being directed in a dream he went away to the region of Galilee

riversident@Matthew:2:23 @ and settled in a town called Nazareth, so that what had been spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, "He will be called a Nazarene."

riversident@Matthew:3:1 @ IN those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wild part of Judaea

riversident@Matthew:3:2 @ and saying, "Repent; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

riversident@Matthew:3:3 @ For this is he who was foretold through Isaiah the prophet when he said: 'The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness, Make ready the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.' "

riversident@Matthew:3:4 @ This John had his clothing of camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

riversident@Matthew:3:5 @ Then went out to him Jerusalem and all Judaea and all the neighborhood of the Jordan

riversident@Matthew:3:6 @ and were baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.

riversident@Matthew:3:7 @ When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said, "Brood of vipers, who directed you to flee from the coming wrath?

riversident@Matthew:3:8 @ Produce fruit fitting for a change of heart,

riversident@Matthew:3:9 @ and do not think of saying to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I tell you God is able out of these stones to raise up children for Abraham.

riversident@Matthew:3:10 @ Now the axe is lying at the root of the trees. Every tree that does not yield good fruit will be cut down and cast into the fire.

riversident@Matthew:3:11 @ I baptize you with water for a change of heart, but he who is coming after me is more powerful than I; I am not worthy to carry his shoes; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

riversident@Matthew:3:12 @ He has his fan in his hand and will thoroughly clean his threshing-floor. He will gather his grain into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable."

riversident@Matthew:3:13 @ Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be baptized by him.

riversident@Matthew:3:14 @ But John opposed him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?"

riversident@Matthew:3:15 @ Jesus replied, Then he permitted him.

riversident@Matthew:3:16 @ Jesus, as soon as he was baptized, went up from the water, and the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and coming upon him.

riversident@Matthew:3:17 @ A voice from the heavens said, "This is my Son, the beloved in whom I delight."

riversident@Matthew:4:1 @ THEN Jesus was led by the Spirit up into the wild country to be tempted by the Devil.

riversident@Matthew:4:2 @ After he had fasted forty days and forty nights he was hungry.

riversident@Matthew:4:3 @ Then the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to turn into loaves of bread."

riversident@Matthew:4:4 @ But he answered,

riversident@Matthew:4:5 @ Then the Devil took him with him to the holy city and placed him on the top of the temple

riversident@Matthew:4:6 @ and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, 'To his angels he will give charge of you, and on their hands they will bear you lest you strike your foot against a stone.' "

riversident@Matthew:4:7 @ Jesus said to him,

riversident@Matthew:4:8 @ Again the Devil took him with him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,

riversident@Matthew:4:9 @ and said to him, "All these things I will give you if you will fall down and do homage to me."

riversident@Matthew:4:10 @ Jesus said to him,

riversident@Matthew:4:11 @ Then the Devil left him, and angels came and waited upon him.

riversident@Matthew:4:12 @ When Jesus heard that John had been betrayed, he went away into Galilee.

riversident@Matthew:4:13 @ Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum on the lake shore on the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,

riversident@Matthew:4:14 @ so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

riversident@Matthew:4:15 @ "Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, road to the sea, country beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,

riversident@Matthew:4:16 @ the people that sat in darkness saw a great light and upon those sitting in the land and shadow of death light dawned."

riversident@Matthew:4:17 @ From that time Jesus began to proclaim and say,

riversident@Matthew:4:18 @ As he was walking along the shore of the lake of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen;

riversident@Matthew:4:19 @ and he said to them,

riversident@Matthew:4:20 @ They at once left the nets and followed him.

riversident@Matthew:4:21 @ Going on from there, he saw two other brothers \'97 James the son of Zebedee and John his brother \'97 in their boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

riversident@Matthew:4:22 @ They at once left the boat and their father and followed him.

riversident@Matthew:4:23 @ Jesus went around through the whole of Galilee, teaching in the synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity among the people.

riversident@Matthew:4:24 @ His fame spread out into all Syria, and they brought to him all who were sick with various diseases and those suffering from acute pain, demoniacs, lunatics, and paralytics, and he healed them.

riversident@Matthew:4:25 @ Great crowds followed him from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from beyond the Jordan.

riversident@Matthew:5:1 @ SEEING the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he had seated himself his disciples came to him.

riversident@Matthew:5:2 @ He opened his mouth and taught them, saying:

riversident@Matthew:7:28 @ When Jesus ended these words, the crowds were astonished at his teaching.

riversident@Matthew:7:29 @ For he taught them like one who had authority, and not as their scribes taught.

riversident@Matthew:8:1 @ WHEN Jesus had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him.

riversident@Matthew:8:2 @ And a leper came up and bowed before him, and said, "Sir, if you have the will, you have power to make me clean."

riversident@Matthew:8:3 @ Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him and said, Instantly his leprosy was cleansed away.

riversident@Matthew:8:4 @ Jesus said to him,

riversident@Matthew:8:5 @ When Jesus had entered Capernaum there came to him a Centurion who implored his help.

riversident@Matthew:8:6 @ "Sir," he said, "my servant lies in my house a paralytic, in great distress."

riversident@Matthew:8:7 @ Jesus said to him,

riversident@Matthew:8:8 @ The Centurion answered, "Sir, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but just speak the word and my servant will be cured.

riversident@Matthew:8:9 @ For I am a man, \'97 under authority, \'97 with soldiers under me, and I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."

riversident@Matthew:8:10 @ When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said,

riversident@Matthew:8:11" />

riversident@Matthew:8:12" />

riversident@Matthew:8:13 @ Then Jesus said to the Centurion, His servant was healed that very hour.

riversident@Matthew:8:14 @ When Jesus entered the house of Peter, he saw his wife's mother lying sick with fever.

riversident@Matthew:8:15 @ He touched her hand and the fever left her. Then she arose and waited upon him.

riversident@Matthew:8:16 @ When evening came, they brought to him many demoniacs and he cast out the spirits by a word, and all their sick he healed.

riversident@Matthew:8:17 @ This was in order to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, "He took our weaknesses and bore away our diseases."

riversident@Matthew:8:18 @ When Jesus saw a crowd around him, he gave directions to go over to the other side of the lake.

riversident@Matthew:8:19 @ Then a certain scribe came to him and said, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

riversident@Matthew:8:20 @ Jesus said to him,

riversident@Matthew:8:21 @ Another of his disciples said to him, "Sir, let me first go and bury my father."

riversident@Matthew:8:22 @ But Jesus said to him,

riversident@Matthew:8:23 @ Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him.

riversident@Matthew:8:24 @ Soon a great storm broke on the lake so that the boat was hidden under the waves; but he was sleeping.

riversident@Matthew:8:25 @ His disciples came to him and woke him and said, "Master, save us. We are going down."

riversident@Matthew:8:26 @ But he said, Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the lake, and there was a great calm.

riversident@Matthew:8:27 @ The men were astonished and said, "What sort of a person is this, whom even the winds and the lake obey?"

riversident@Matthew:8:28 @ When he arrived at the other side, the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two demoniacs coming out of the tombs. They were very fierce, so that no one was able to pass along that road.

riversident@Matthew:8:29 @ Suddenly they shouted, "Son of God, what have you to do with us? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"

riversident@Matthew:8:30 @ There was far off from them a herd of many swine feeding.

riversident@Matthew:8:31 @ The demons begged him, "If you cast us out, send us into the herd of swine."

riversident@Matthew:8:32 @ He said to them, So they went out and entered into the swine. Then suddenly the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the waves.

riversident@Matthew:8:33 @ The herdsmen fled and went away to the town and told everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs.

riversident@Matthew:8:34 @ Then at once all the town came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him they begged him to depart from their neighborhood.

riversident@Matthew:9:1 @ SO Jesus got into the boat and crossed over and came to his own city.

riversident@Matthew:9:2 @ They brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic,

riversident@Matthew:9:3 @ At once some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is speaking profane words."

riversident@Matthew:9:4 @ Jesus knew their thoughts and said,

riversident@Matthew:9:5" />

riversident@Matthew:9:6 @ \'97 then he said to the paralytic,

riversident@Matthew:9:7 @ Thereupon he rose and went away to his house.

riversident@Matthew:9:8 @ The crowds that saw it were astonished and gave glory to God, who had given such power to men.

riversident@Matthew:9:9 @ As Jesus was passing along from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. Jesus said to him, and he arose and followed him.

riversident@Matthew:9:10 @ It happened that, while he was reclining at table in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came in and reclined at the table with Jesus and his disciples.

riversident@Matthew:9:11 @ When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

riversident@Matthew:9:12 @ Jesus heard it and said,

riversident@Matthew:9:13" />

riversident@Matthew:9:14 @ Then the disciples of John came to Jesus and said, "Why are we and the Pharisees fasting while your disciples are not fasting?"

riversident@Matthew:9:15 @ He said,

riversident@Matthew:9:16" />

riversident@Matthew:9:17" />

riversident@Matthew:9:18 @ While Jesus was talking to them, a synagogue Director came and bowed down before him and said, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand upon her and she will live."

riversident@Matthew:9:19 @ Jesus rose and followed him, and so did his disciples.

riversident@Matthew:9:20 @ Suddenly a woman who had been suffering for twelve years from hemorrhage came up behind him and touched the tassel of his cloak.

riversident@Matthew:9:21 @ For she said to herself, "If I touch only his cloak, I shall be healed."

riversident@Matthew:9:22 @ But Jesus turned and, seeing her, said, The woman was cured from that hour.

riversident@Matthew:9:23 @ Jesus entered the house of the Director and saw the flute-players and the crowd that was noisily lamenting, and he said,

riversident@Matthew:9:24 @ They laughed at him.

riversident@Matthew:9:25 @ But after the crowd had been turned out, he went in and took hold of her hand and the girl rose up.

riversident@Matthew:9:26 @ The report of this spread through all that country.

riversident@Matthew:9:27 @ As Jesus was going along from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, "Have pity on us, Son of David."

riversident@Matthew:9:28 @ After he had entered the house, these blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, They said, "Yes, Sir."

riversident@Matthew:9:29 @ Then he touched their eyes and said,

riversident@Matthew:9:30 @ And their eyes were opened. Jesus sternly commanded them,

riversident@Matthew:9:31 @ But they went out and spread his fame through all that country.

riversident@Matthew:9:32 @ As they were going out, a dumb man who was also a demoniac was brought to him.

riversident@Matthew:9:33 @ After the demon had been cast out, the dumb man spoke. The crowd wondered and said, "Never was anything like this seen in Israel."

riversident@Matthew:9:34 @ But the Pharisees said, "Through the Chief of the demons he casts out the demons."

riversident@Matthew:9:35 @ Jesus made a circuit through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity.

riversident@Matthew:9:36 @ Seeing the crowds, he was touched with compassion for them, for they were torn and flung down like sheep that have no shepherd.

riversident@Matthew:9:37 @ Then he said to his disciples,

riversident@Matthew:9:38" />

riversident@Matthew:10:1 @ THEN, calling to him his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over impure spirits to cast them out, and power to cure every disease and every infirmity.

riversident@Matthew:10:2 @ The names of the twelve apostles are these: Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother,

riversident@Matthew:10:3 @ Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, James the son of Alphaeus and Thaddaeus,

riversident@Matthew:10:4 @ Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.

riversident@Matthew:10:5 @ These twelve Jesus sent out and directed them:

riversident@Matthew:11:2 @ John had heard in prison of the doings of the Christ, and he sent by some of his disciples to ask,

riversident@Matthew:11:23" />

riversident@Matthew:11:24" />

riversident@Matthew:12:1 @ AT that time Jesus went on the Sabbath through the grain-fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain to eat.

riversident@Matthew:12:10 @ A man was there with a withered hand. They asked Jesus, "Is it allowable to heal on the Sabbath?" \'97 so that they might have something to accuse him of.

riversident@Matthew:12:11 @ He said to them,

riversident@Matthew:12:12" />

riversident@Matthew:12:13 @ Then he said to the man, He stretched it out and it was restored as sound as the other.

riversident@Matthew:12:14 @ The Pharisees went out and plotted against him how they could destroy him.

riversident@Matthew:12:15 @ But Jesus was aware of it and went away from that place. Many followed him and he healed them all;

riversident@Matthew:12:16 @ but he gave strict orders to them not to make him known.

riversident@Matthew:12:17 @ It was in fulfillment of these words of Isaiah the prophet,

riversident@Matthew:12:18 @ "Behold my servant whom I have chosen, the Beloved in whom my soul delights. I will put my spirit upon him and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

riversident@Matthew:12:19 @ He will not strive nor cry, nor will any one hear his voice in the streets.

riversident@Matthew:12:20 @ A bruised reed he will not break, and a low-burning wick he will, not quench, until he has carried justice to victory.

riversident@Matthew:12:21 @ In his name will Gentiles hope."

riversident@Matthew:12:22 @ Then there was brought to Jesus a demoniac, blind and dumb. He healed him so that he spoke and saw.

riversident@Matthew:12:23 @ All the crowds were astonished and said, "Is not this man the Son of David?"

riversident@Matthew:12:24 @ The Pharisees when they heard it said, "This man casts out demons only through Beelzebul the Chief of the demons."

riversident@Matthew:13:56 @ And his sisters \'97 are they not all here with us? Where then did he get all this?"

riversident@Matthew:13:57 @ So they fell into mistake about him. But Jesus said to them,

riversident@Matthew:14:1 @ AT that time Herod the Prince heard the reports about Jesus

riversident@Matthew:14:2 @ and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist. He has risen from the dead and so miraculous powers are working in him."

riversident@Matthew:14:3 @ For Herod had arrested John and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

riversident@Matthew:14:4 @ For John had said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."

riversident@Matthew:14:5 @ Although he wished to kill him, he was afraid of the people because they held him for a prophet.

riversident@Matthew:14:6 @ But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst and pleased Herod,

riversident@Matthew:14:7 @ so that he promised with an oath that he would give her whatever she asked.

riversident@Matthew:14:8 @ She, prompted by her mother, said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."

riversident@Matthew:14:9 @ The king was grieved, but on account of his oaths and his guests he ordered it to be given her,

riversident@Matthew:14:10 @ and he sent and had John beheaded in the prison.

riversident@Matthew:14:11 @ The head was brought in on a platter and was given to the girl and she bore it to her mother.

riversident@Matthew:14:12 @ The disciples of John came and took the body and buried it, and then they came and told Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:14:13 @ Upon hearing of it, Jesus went away in a boat privately to an uninhabited place. But the people heard of it and followed him by land from the towns.

riversident@Matthew:14:14 @ As he got out of the boat, he saw a great crowd and he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

riversident@Matthew:14:15 @ When evening had come on, his disciples came to him and said, "This is an uninhabited place and the time is already late; send away the crowd so that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food."

riversident@Matthew:14:16 @ But Jesus said to them,

riversident@Matthew:14:17 @ They said to him, "We have here nothing but five loaves and two fishes."

riversident@Matthew:14:18 @ He said,

riversident@Matthew:14:19 @ Then he commanded the crowd to recline on the grass, and he took the five loaves and the two fishes and looked up to heaven and asked a blessing. Then he broke up the loaves and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples distributed to the crowd.

riversident@Matthew:14:20 @ All ate and had abundance, and they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that remained over.

riversident@Matthew:14:21 @ Those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

riversident@Matthew:14:22 @ Then he made his disciples get into the boat and go on across while he was dismissing the crowd.

riversident@Matthew:14:23 @ After dismissing the crowd, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray, When evening came, he was there alone.

riversident@Matthew:14:24 @ The boat was already far out from land, beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them.

riversident@Matthew:14:25 @ In the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking on the water.

riversident@Matthew:14:26 @ When the disciples saw him walking on the water, they were terrified, saying that it was a ghost, and they cried out with fear.

riversident@Matthew:14:27 @ But at once Jesus spoke to them and said,

riversident@Matthew:14:28 @ Peter answered, "Sir, if it is you, bid me to come to you on the water."

riversident@Matthew:14:29 @ Jesus said, Then Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:14:30 @ But seeing the wind he became frightened, and, beginning to sink, he cried out, "Sir, save me!"

riversident@Matthew:14:31 @ At once Jesus stretched out his hand and grasped him and said,

riversident@Matthew:14:32 @ After they got into the boat, the wind stopped.

riversident@Matthew:14:33 @ Then the men in the boat bowed down to him and said, "Truly you are the Son of God."

riversident@Matthew:14:34 @ Having crossed, they came to land at Gennesaret.

riversident@Matthew:14:35 @ When the men of that place recognized him, they sent into all that neighborhood and brought to him all the sick

riversident@Matthew:14:36 @ and begged him that they might touch merely the tassel of his cloak, and all who touched were cured.

riversident@Matthew:15:1 @ THEN scribes and Pharisees came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,

riversident@Matthew:15:2 @ "Why do your disciples violate the tradition of our forefathers? For they do not wash their hands when they eat food."

riversident@Matthew:15:21 @ Leaving that place, Jesus retired into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

riversident@Matthew:15:22 @ Here a Canaanite woman of those parts came out and cried, "Sir, have pity on me, Son of David. My daughter is terribly tormented by a demon."

riversident@Matthew:15:23 @ But he did not answer her a word. Then his disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away; she keeps calling out behind us."

riversident@Matthew:15:24 @ He replied,

riversident@Matthew:15:25 @ But she came and bowed before him and said, "Help me, Sir."

riversident@Matthew:15:26 @ He answered,

riversident@Matthew:15:27 @ But she said, "Yes, Sir; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs that fall from their masters' table."

riversident@Matthew:15:28 @ Then Jesus said to her, And her daughter was cured from that hour.

riversident@Matthew:15:29 @ On leaving there, Jesus came along by the lake of Galilee and went up on the mountain and sat down there.

riversident@Matthew:15:30 @ Then a great crowd came to him having with them lame men, maimed men, blind men, mutes, and many others, and they laid them at his feet and he healed them.

riversident@Matthew:15:31 @ The crowd was astonished when they saw mutes talking, maimed men sound, lame men walking about, and blind men seeing, and they gave glory to the God of Israel.

riversident@Matthew:15:32 @ Jesus called his disciples to him and said,

riversident@Matthew:15:33 @ The disciples said to him, "Where can we get enough bread in this uninhabited place to feed such a crowd?"

riversident@Matthew:15:34 @ Jesus said, They said, "Seven, and a few small fishes."

riversident@Matthew:15:35 @ Then he told the crowd to recline on the ground,

riversident@Matthew:15:36 @ and he took the seven loaves and the fishes and gave thanks and broke them and gave to his disciples, and the disciples distributed to the crowd.

riversident@Matthew:15:37 @ All ate and were satisfied, and they picked up seven baskets full of fragments that were left over.

riversident@Matthew:15:38 @ There were four thousand men that ate, besides women and children.

riversident@Matthew:15:39 @ Then after dismissing the crowd he got into a boat and came into the region of Magadan.

riversident@Matthew:16:1 @ THE Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus, and, in order to put him to a test, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

riversident@Matthew:16:2" />

riversident@Matthew:16:3" />

riversident@Matthew:16:4 @ But he answered, and he left them and went away.

riversident@Matthew:16:5 @ When the disciples got to the other side of the lake, they had forgotten to take bread,

riversident@Matthew:16:6 @ and Jesus said to them,

riversident@Matthew:16:7 @ They were discussing this among themselves, saying, "It is because we have brought no bread."

riversident@Matthew:16:8 @ But Jesus, when he knew it, said,

riversident@Matthew:16:9" />

riversident@Matthew:16:10" />

riversident@Matthew:16:11" />

riversident@Matthew:16:12 @ Then they understood that he had told them to beware not of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

riversident@Matthew:16:13 @ After corning into the neighborhood of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples,

riversident@Matthew:16:14 @ They said, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; others Jeremiah or some one of the prophets."

riversident@Matthew:16:15 @ He said to them,

riversident@Matthew:16:16 @ Simon Peter said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

riversident@Matthew:16:17 @ Jesus replied,

riversident@Matthew:16:18 @

riversident@Matthew:16:19" />

riversident@Matthew:16:20 @ Then he strictly charged his disciples not to tell any one that he was the Christ.

riversident@Matthew:16:21 @ From that time Jesus began to make plain to his disciples that he had to go away to Jerusalem, and suffer greatly from the elders and high priests and scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised.

riversident@Matthew:16:22 @ Peter took him and began to reprove him, saying, "Please God, Sir; this shall not happen to you."

riversident@Matthew:17:3 @ Then appeared to them Moses and Elijah talking with him.

riversident@Matthew:17:4 @ Peter said to Jesus, "Sir, it is fine for us to be here. If you like, I will make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."

riversident@Matthew:17:5 @ While he was speaking, a bright cloud suddenly overspread them and a voice issued from the cloud, "This is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I delight. Hear him."

riversident@Matthew:17:6 @ The disciples on hearing this fell on their faces in great terror.

riversident@Matthew:17:7 @ But Jesus came and touched them and said,

riversident@Matthew:17:8 @ When they raised their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus himself alone.

riversident@Matthew:17:9 @ As they were descending the mountain, Jesus charged them,

riversident@Matthew:17:10 @ The disciples asked him, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

riversident@Matthew:17:11 @ He answered,

riversident@Matthew:17:14 @ When they reached the crowd, a man came to Jesus and knelt to him and said,

riversident@Matthew:17:15 @ "Sir, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic and is in a very bad way. For often he falls into the fire and often into the water.

riversident@Matthew:17:16 @ I brought him to your disciples and they could not cure him."

riversident@Matthew:20:31 @ The crowd rebuked them and told them to be silent. But all the more they cried, "Sir, have pity on us, Son of David!"

riversident@Matthew:20:32 @ Jesus stopped and called them and said,

riversident@Matthew:20:33 @ They said, "We want our eyes opened."

riversident@Matthew:20:34 @ Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes, and at once they regained sight and followed him.

riversident@Matthew:21:1 @ WHEN they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,

riversident@Matthew:21:2 @ telling them,

riversident@Matthew:21:3" />

riversident@Matthew:21:4 @ This happened in order that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled,

riversident@Matthew:21:5 @ "Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold thy king comes to thee, gentle and riding on an ass and on a colt, the foal of a beast of draught."

riversident@Matthew:21:6 @ The disciples went and did as Jesus had bidden them,

riversident@Matthew:21:7 @ and brought the ass and the colt, and spread on them their cloaks and seated him on them.

riversident@Matthew:21:8 @ A very large crowd spread their cloaks in the road, and others cut off branches from the trees and spread them in the road.

riversident@Matthew:21:9 @ The crowds that walked before and those that followed shouted, "God save the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! God in highest heaven save him!"

riversident@Matthew:21:10 @ When he entered Jerusalem all the city was shaken, and people said, "Who is this?"

riversident@Matthew:21:11 @ The crowds said, "This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee."

riversident@Matthew:21:12 @ Jesus went into the Temple courts and drove out all those who were selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who were selling doves,

riversident@Matthew:21:13 @ and he said,

riversident@Matthew:21:14 @ Then blind men and lame men came to him in the Temple courts and he healed them.

riversident@Matthew:21:15 @ When the high priests and the scribes saw the wonders that he did and the children shouting, "God save the Son of David!" they were angry

riversident@Matthew:21:16 @ and said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" Jesus said,

riversident@Matthew:21:17 @ Then he left them and went out of the city to Bethany and spent the night there.

riversident@Matthew:21:18 @ Early in the morning as he was returning to the city, he was hungry,

riversident@Matthew:21:19 @ and seeing a solitary fig tree at the roadside he went to it, but found on it nothing but leaves only. He said to it, The fig tree immediately withered up.

riversident@Matthew:21:20 @ Upon seeing this, the disciples were astonished and said, "How suddenly the fig tree withered up!"

riversident@Matthew:21:21 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@Matthew:21:22" />

riversident@Matthew:21:23 @ When he had gone into the Temple courts, the high priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching and said, "By what authority are you doing this, and who gave you this authority?"

riversident@Matthew:21:24 @ Jesus replied to them,

riversident@Matthew:21:25 @ They debated among themselves, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

riversident@Matthew:21:26 @ and if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the people, for they all hold John for a prophet."

riversident@Matthew:21:27 @ So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." He in turn said to them,

riversident@Matthew:21:28" />

riversident@Matthew:21:29" />

riversident@Matthew:21:30" />

riversident@Matthew:21:45 @ The high priests and the Pharisees listening to his illustrations knew that he was speaking about them.

riversident@Matthew:21:46 @ They were eager to seize him, but were afraid of the people, for the people held him for a prophet.

riversident@Matthew:22:16 @ They sent to him their disciples with the Herodians and they said, "Teacher, we know that you are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and that you are afraid of no one, for you do not regard the social standing of men.

riversident@Matthew:22:17 @ Tell us therefore what you think. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

riversident@Matthew:22:18 @ But Jesus knew their wickedness and said,

riversident@Matthew:22:22 @ When they heard this, they wondered and left him and went away.

riversident@Matthew:22:23 @ On that day some Sadducees came to him asserting that there is no resurrection, and they asked him,

riversident@Matthew:22:24 @ "Teacher, Moses said, 'If any man dies childless, his brother shall marry his widow and raise up offspring for his brother.'

riversident@Matthew:22:25 @ Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died childless and left his wife to his brother.

riversident@Matthew:22:26 @ So did the second and the third down to the seventh.

riversident@Matthew:22:27 @ The woman died last of all.

riversident@Matthew:22:28 @ In the resurrection, then, which of the seven will have the wife? For they all had her."

riversident@Matthew:26:4 @ and they plotted to seize Jesus by some trick and kill him.

riversident@Matthew:26:6 @ When Jesus had come to Bethany and was in the house of Simon the leper,

riversident@Matthew:26:7 @ a woman came up to him, bringing an alabaster jar of costly ointment, and poured it on his head while he was reclining at table.

riversident@Matthew:26:8 @ On seeing this, the disciples were indignant and said, "Why this waste?

riversident@Matthew:26:16 @ And from that moment he kept seeking a favorable time to betray him.

riversident@Matthew:26:17 @ On the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus and said, "Where do you wish us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

riversident@Matthew:26:18 @ He answered,

riversident@Matthew:26:19 @ The disciples did as Jesus had instructed them and prepared the Passover.

riversident@Matthew:26:20 @ When evening had come, he was reclining at table with the twelve disciples.

riversident@Matthew:26:21 @ While they were eating, he said,

riversident@Matthew:26:22 @ Greatly grieved, they began to ask him, each in turn, "It is not I, Master?"

riversident@Matthew:26:59 @ The high priests and the whole council sought for false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put him to death.

riversident@Matthew:26:66 @ What do you think?" They answered, "He deserves death."

riversident@Matthew:26:67 @ Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists. Some slapped him,

riversident@Matthew:26:71 @ When he had gone out into the gateway, another maid saw him and said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazarene."

riversident@Matthew:26:72 @ Then again he denied with an oath, "I do not know the man."

riversident@Matthew:26:73 @ After a little those who were standing there came up and said to Peter, "Truly you are one of them, for your accent proves it."

riversident@Matthew:26:74 @ Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know the man." Immediately the cock crew, and

riversident@Matthew:26:75 @ Peter remembered what Jesus had said, and he went out and wept bitterly.

riversident@Matthew:27:1 @ WHEN morning came all the high priests and the elders of the people consulted together against Jesus to put him to death.

riversident@Matthew:27:2 @ After binding him, they led him away and handed him over to Pilate the Governor.

riversident@Matthew:27:3 @ Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus had been condemned, was sorry and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the high priests and elders,

riversident@Matthew:27:4 @ saying, "I sinned in betraying innocent blood!" But they said, "What is that to us? You must see to that."

riversident@Matthew:27:5 @ Then throwing the silver into the Temple he left and went and hung himself.

riversident@Matthew:27:6 @ The high priests took the money and said, "It is not proper to put it in with the consecrated gifts, since it is the price of blood."

riversident@Matthew:27:7 @ So after consultation they bought with it the potter's field for the burial of strangers.

riversident@Matthew:27:8 @ For this reason that field is called the "Field of Blood" to this day.

riversident@Matthew:27:9 @ Then was fulfilled what was said through Jeremiah the prophet, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who was priced, whom they priced from the sons of Israel,

riversident@Matthew:27:10 @ and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."

riversident@Matthew:27:11 @ Jesus stood before the Governor. The Governor asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said,

riversident@Matthew:27:12 @ While he was being accused by the high priests and elders, he answered nothing.

riversident@Matthew:27:13 @ Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they are testifying against you?"

riversident@Matthew:27:14 @ But Jesus did not answer even one word, so that the Governor was much astonished.

riversident@Matthew:27:15 @ At every feast the Governor was accustomed to release for the people one prisoner, whomever they chose.

riversident@Matthew:27:16 @ There was at that time a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

riversident@Matthew:27:17 @ So, when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you, Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?"

riversident@Matthew:27:18 @ For he knew that out of jealousy they had handed him over.

riversident@Matthew:27:19 @ While he was sitting on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him a message, "Do not have anything to do with that righteous man. For I have suffered much to-day in a dream because of him."

riversident@Matthew:27:20 @ The high priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:27:21 @ The Governor said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" They said, "Barabbas."

riversident@Matthew:27:22 @ Pilate said to them, "What, then, shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Have him crucified."

riversident@Matthew:27:23 @ He said, "Why, what wrong has he done?" But they kept shouting furiously, "Have him crucified!"

riversident@Matthew:27:24 @ When Pilate saw that he was doing no good, but rather that an uproar was arising, he took some water and washed his hands before the crowd and said, "I am innocent of this blood. You will have to see to it."

riversident@Matthew:27:25 @ All the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!"

riversident@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released Barabbas for them, but scourged Jesus and handed him over to be crucified.

riversident@Matthew:27:27 @ Then the soldiers of the Governor took Jesus with them into the castle and gathered about him all the battalion.

riversident@Matthew:27:28 @ They stripped him and put on him a crimson cloak,

riversident@Matthew:27:29 @ twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head, put a reed into his right hand, and, going down on their knees before him, made sport of him, shouting, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

riversident@Matthew:27:30 @ They spit on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

riversident@Matthew:27:31 @ After they had finished making sport of him, they took off from him the crimson cloak and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucifixion.

riversident@Matthew:27:32 @ As they were going out, they chanced upon a man from Cyrene by the name of Simon. This man they impressed to carry the cross of Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:27:33 @ On coming to a place called Golgotha (note:)that is, Skull Place(:note),

riversident@Matthew:27:34 @ they gave him wine mixed with gall to drink. He tasted it and would not drink it.

riversident@Matthew:27:35 @ When they had crucified him, they divided his clothes by casting lots.

riversident@Matthew:27:36 @ Then they sat and kept watch over him there.

riversident@Matthew:27:37 @ Above his head they put up the charge against him in writing:

riversident@Matthew:27:38 @ At the same time there were crucified along with him two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.

riversident@Matthew:27:39 @ The people who went by insulted him, shaking their heads

riversident@Matthew:27:40 @ and saying, "You who can pull down the Temple and in three days build it up, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"

riversident@Matthew:27:41 @ In the same way the high priests, making sport of him, along with the scribes and elders, kept saying,

riversident@Matthew:27:42 @ "He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross and we will believe in him.

riversident@Matthew:27:43 @ He trusted in God, let him deliver him now if he wants him, for he said, 'I am the Son of God.' "

riversident@Matthew:27:44 @ In the same way even the robbers who were crucified with him insulted him.

riversident@Matthew:27:45 @ From noon darkness came over all the land until three o'clock.

riversident@Matthew:27:46 @ About three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, that is,

riversident@Matthew:27:47 @ Some of those who were standing there said, when they heard it, "This man is calling for Elijah."

riversident@Matthew:27:48 @ Immediately one of them took a sponge and filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed and gave him a drink.

riversident@Matthew:27:49 @ The rest said, "Let him alone, let us see whether Elijah comes to save him."

riversident@Matthew:27:50 @ But Jesus, after calling out again with a loud voice, gave up his spirit.

riversident@Matthew:27:51 @ Suddenly the curtain of the Temple was rent in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked. The rocks were split,

riversident@Matthew:27:52 @ and the tombs were opened and many bodies of the sleeping saints arose,

riversident@Matthew:27:53 @ and, coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

riversident@Matthew:27:54 @ The Centurion and his men who were guarding Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that happened, were greatly terrified and said, "Truly this man was a son of God!"

riversident@Matthew:27:55 @ Looking on from a distance, were many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee, waiting upon him.

riversident@Matthew:27:56 @ Among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

riversident@Matthew:27:57 @ In the late afternoon there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:27:58 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

riversident@Matthew:27:59 @ Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen sheet

riversident@Matthew:27:60 @ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. Then he rolled a great stone up to the door of the tomb and went away.

riversident@Matthew:27:61 @ Mary Magdalene remained there and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

riversident@Matthew:27:62 @ On the next day, that is, the day after the Preparation, the high priests and the Pharisees gathered about Pilate

riversident@Matthew:27:63 @ and said, "Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was alive,

riversident@Matthew:27:64 @ So give orders to have the tomb guarded until the third day. Otherwise his disciples may come and steal him away and tell the people, 'He has been raised from the dead,' and the last error will be worse than the first."

riversident@Matthew:27:65 @ Pilate said to them, "You may have a guard. Go make it as secure as you know how."

riversident@Matthew:27:66 @ They went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone as well as setting a watch.

riversident@Matthew:28:1 @ LATE on the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was drawing near, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the tomb.

riversident@Matthew:28:2 @ And suddenly there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came to the stone and rolled it away and sat upon it.

riversident@Matthew:28:3 @ His appearance was like lightning and his raiment white as snow.

riversident@Matthew:28:4 @ For fear of him the guards trembled violently and became like dead men.

riversident@Matthew:28:5 @ The angel said to the women, "Do not you be afraid. For I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.

riversident@Matthew:28:6 @ He is not here. He has been raised, as he told you. Come see the place where he lay.

riversident@Matthew:28:7 @ Go quickly and tell his disciples that he has been raised from the dead. He will precede you to Galilee. There you will see him. See, I have told you."

riversident@Matthew:28:8 @ They left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to tell his disciples.

riversident@Matthew:28:9 @ Suddenly Jesus met them and said, They came up and clasped his feet and bowed down before him.

riversident@Matthew:28:10 @ Then Jesus said to them,

riversident@Matthew:28:11 @ While they were going, some of the guard came into the city and brought word to the high priests of all that had happened.

riversident@Matthew:28:12 @ After assembling with the elders and holding a consultation, they gave a good deal of money to the soldiers

riversident@Matthew:28:13 @ and said, "Say, 'His disciples came in the night and stole him away while we were asleep,'

riversident@Matthew:28:14 @ and if this comes to the ears of the Governor we will persuade him and free you from trouble."

riversident@Matthew:28:15 @ The soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this report has been spread among the Jews to this day.

riversident@Matthew:28:16 @ The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had appointed to meet them,

riversident@Matthew:28:17 @ and they saw him and bowed down before him; but some doubted.

riversident@Matthew:28:18 @ Jesus came to them and talked with them. He said,
