(1) Jesus Christ came of Abraham of the tribe of Judah, and of the stock of David as God promised. (a) Rehearsal: as the Hebrews used to speak; see Gen 5:1, the book of the generations. (b) Of the ancestors from whom Christ came. (c) Which Christ is also 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 Solomon. 5 And Solomon 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 was 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 Hozias. 9 And Hozias 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 Jakim; and Jakim (d) begat Jechonias and his brethren about the time they were carried away to Babylon. (d) That is, the captivity fell in the days of Jakim and Jechonias: for Jechonias was born before their carrying away into captivity. 12 And after they were carried away into 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, that is called Christ. 17 So (e) all the generations from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations; and from David until they were carried away into Babylon, fourteen generations; and after they were carried away into Babylon until Christ, fourteen generations. (e) All these which are reckoned up in this pedigree of David's stock, as they begat one another orderly in their degrees. 18 Now the birth of (2) Jesus Christ was thus: When as his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the holy Ghost. (2) Christ is the true Emmanuel, and therefore, Jesus (that is, Savior) is conceived in the virgin by the holy Ghost, as it was foretold by the prophets. 19 Then Joseph her husband being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. 20 But while he thought these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, the son of David, fear not to (f) take Mary, thy (g) wife: for that which is (h) conceived in her, is of the holy Ghost. (f) Receive her at her parents and kinsfolk’s hands. (g) Which was promised, and made sure to thee to be your wife. (h) Of the mother's substance by the holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring (3) forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall (i) save his people from their sins. (3) Christ is born of the same virgin which never knew man: and is called Jesus of God himself by the angel. (i) Deliver, and this showeth us the meaning of this name Jesus. 22 And all this was done that it might be fulfilled, which is spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying. 23 Behold, a (k) virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, God with us. (k) There is in the Hebrew and Greek text, an article added to point out the woman and set her forth plainly: as we would say, that virgin, or a certain virgin. 24 Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as the Angel of the Lord had enjoined him, and took his wife. 25 But he knew her not, (l) till she had brought forth her first born son, and he called his name JESUS. (l) This little word Till in the Hebrew tongue, giveth us to understand also, that a thing shall not come to pass in time to come: as Michal had no children Till her death day, 2Sam 6:23 . And in the last chapter of this evangelist: Behold, I am with you Till the end of the world. Matthew 2 1 When (1) Jesus then was born at Bethlehem in (a) Judea, in the days of Herod the King, behold, there came (b) Wise men from the East to Jerusalem, (1) Christ a poor child, laid down in a crib, and nothing set by of his own people, receiveth notwithstanding a noble witness of his divinity from heaven, and of his kingly estate of strangers: which his own also unwittingly allow of, although they do not acknowledge him. (a) For there was another in the tribe of Zebulun. (b) Wise and learned men: It is a Persian word which they use in good part. 2 Saying, Where is that King of the Jews that is born? For we have seen his star in the East, and are come to worship him. 3 When King Herod heard this, he was (c) troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. (c) Was much moved, for he was a stranger, and came to the kingdom by force; and the Jews were troubled; for wickedness is mad and raging. 4 And gathering together all the (d) chief Priests and (e) Scribes of the people, he asked of them, where Christ should be born?

  • On the Inerrancy of Scripture
    ON THE INERRANCY OF SCRIPTURE David P. Bolin You do err, knowing neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. Matthew 22:29 I. Introduction In many of the recent writings of Scripture scholars there seems to be a certain reluctance to discuss the nature of the inspiration of Scripture and its relation to the interpretation ofScripture. For example, the document ofthe Pontifical Bib­ lical Commission, The Interpretation of the Bible in the Church, denies that it intends to consider the theology of inspiration. The Commission does not aim to adopt a position on all the questions which arise with respect to the Bible-such as, for example, the theology of inspiration. What it has in mind is to examine all the methods likely to contribute effectively to the task of making more available the riches coutained in the biblical texts. 1 But in order for the Biblical Commission to achieve its stated goal, it is necessary for it to take some position regard- David Bolin earned last year the degree ofLicentiate in Sacred Theo­ logy from the International Theological Institute for Marriage and the Family. This article is the thesis he submitted as part of the requirement for that degree. 1 The Interpretation of the Bible in the Church, trans.]. Kilgallen and B.

Ahimelech murdered at Nob under Saul, Abiathar escapes to David (1 Sam. 22). AMRAM IZHAR HEBRON UZZIEL Abiathar unfaithful as high priest under David (defects with Adonijah); Zadok a faithful priest at time of David (1 Kings 1:5- AARON MOSES MIRIAM KORAH NEPHEG ZICHRI 8). Zadok made high priest under Solomon; fulfils prophecy of taking priesthood from NADAB ABIHU ELEAZAR ITHAMAR SONS OF KORAH house of Eli (1 Kings 2:27, 35) *Therefore Eli must have been of Ithamar’s line.

Eventually, however, Israel failed God, and the parable of the ten virgins and the parable of the talents kingdom was taken from them (Matt. 21:43). (see Affirmation & Critique V.3 (July 2000): 39-48; V.4 (October 2000): 41-47). The first parable begins, “At The first preacher in the New Testament was John the that time the kingdom of the heavens will be likened to Baptist, who began his ministry by proclaiming, “Repent, ten virgins” (v. 1).

  • The Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ, According to Matthew
    The Holy Gospel Of Jesus Christ, According To Matthew The Argument In this History written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, the Spirit of God so governed their hearts, that although they were four in number, yet in effect and purpose they so consent, as though the whole had been composed by any one of them. And albeit in style and manner of writing they be divers, and sometime one writeth more largely that which the other doth abridge; nevertheless in matter and argument, they all tend to one end; which is to publish to the world the favor of God toward mankind through Christ Jesus, whom the father hath given as a pledge of his mercy and love. And for this cause they entitle their story Gospel, which signifieth good tidings, for as such as God hath performed indeed that which the fathers hoped for. So that hereby we are admonished to forsake the world, and the vanities thereof, and with most affectioned hearts embrace this incomparable treasure freely offered unto us, for there is no joy nor consolation, no peace nor quietness, no felicity nor salvation, but in Jesus Christ, who is the very substance of this Gospel, and in whom all the promises are Yea, and Amen. And therefore under this word is contained the whole New Testament; but commonly we use this name for the history, which the four Evangelists write, containing Christ’s coming in the flesh, his death, and resurrection, which is the perfect sum of our salvation. Matthew, Mark, and Luke are more copious in describing his life and death; but John more laboreth to set forth his doctrine, wherein both Christ’s office, and also the virtue of his death and resurrection more fully appear; for without this, to know that Christ was born, dead, and risen again, should nothing profit us.

  • From the Book of Marganitha (The Pearl) on the Truth of Christianity Written by Mar Odisho, Metropolitan of N’Siwin and Armenia, A.D
    From the Book of Marganitha (The Pearl) On the Truth of Christianity Written by Mar Odisho, Metropolitan of N’siwin and Armenia, A.D. 1298 1 PART I ON GOD 2 CHAPTER I Theory Concerning God That there is a God, and that the world is created, is made, and is temporal. St. Paul the heavenly apostle, the treasury of the Holy Spirit, and the spiritual philosopher, has, through the Spirit, laid an awe-inspiring foundation for Theology, by his saying, that men “should seek God, and feel after Him, and find Him out from His creation.1” The artificer is known by his art, and the maker through the thing made. That the world is made, and created, and that it had a beginning in time is evident from the fact, that it is compounded, framed and regulated as a whole, and in all its parts. Everything that is compounded, framed and regulated must have a compounder, framer and regulator. That it is compounded is proved from its whole being made up of many parts, and from all its bodies being made up of matter and species, and from the visible and invisible movers therein. But the most certain witness, of its being framed is man, who is a small world in himself, and in whose formation all creation is brought together, as one of the sages has 1 Acts 17:27. 3 said: “Man is an epitome of the whole world, and of the whole frame of creation.” That the world is regulated is clear from the wonderful order of the heavens, the planets, the elements, with all their productive powers, generating plants, trees, mines, and the members of beasts and of men, the astonishing order of which surpasses the wisdom and knowledge of all created beings.
