The Birth of Jesus Christ

18 ^qNow the birth of Jesus Christ¹ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been ^rbetrothed² to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child ^sfrom the Holy Spirit.

6 and ^jJesse the father of David the king.

And ^kDavid was the father of Solomon by the ^lwife of Uriah,

38 Then he said to them, ^e“My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch¹ with me.”

23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, ^dhe went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone,

25 And in the fourth watch of the night¹ he came to them, ^ewalking on the sea. 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ^fghost!” and they cried out in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; ^git is I. Do not be afraid.”

8 But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant,¹ ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, ^pwith no one in Israel² have I found such faith.

24 And behold, there arose a great ^astorm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was ^basleep. 25 And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are ^cperishing.” 26 And he said to them, ^d“Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and ^ethere was a ^fgreat calm.

27 ^yAll things have been handed over to me by my Father, and ^zno one knows the Son except the Father, and ^ano one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to ^breveal him.
