The Gospel AccordinG To

MATThewIntroductionThe Gospel of Matthew presents Jesus as Israel’s Messiah. The account alternates between Jesus’ activities of healing and casting out demons, and major blocks of his teaching, including the Sermon on the Mount (chs. 5–7), the Parables of the Kingdom (ch. 13), and the Olivet Discourse (chs. 24–25). The Sermon on the Mount includes the Beatitudes (5:3-12) and the Lord’s Prayer (6:5-15). The book closes with the Great Commission (28:18-20). A recurring theme is the conflict between Jesus and the religious leaders, culminating in his pronouncement of “seven woes” upon them (ch. 23). As do all four Gospel accounts, Matthew focuses on Christ’s three-year ministry and his death and resurrection. Matthew probably wrote his Gospel in the 50s or 60s a.d.

The Genealogy of Jesus Christ

1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

2Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram,1 4 and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of David the king.

And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, 7 and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph,2 8 and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, 9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, 10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos,3 and Amos the father of Josiah, 11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.

12And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel,4 and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, 13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, 14 and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, 15 and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.

17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deporta-tion to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.

The Birth of Jesus Christ18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ5 took place in this way.

When his mother Mary had been betrothed6 to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 19And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20 But as he considered these things,

behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:23 a “ Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel”

(which means, God with us). 24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.

The Visit of the Wise Men

2 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men7 from

the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose8 and have come to worship him.” 3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; 4 and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. 5 They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: 6 b “ ‘ And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’ ”

7 Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared. 8And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.” 9After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. 11And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus christ, the son of david, the son of

Abraham.2Abraham was the father of isaac, and

isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 and Judah the father of perez and Zerah by Tamar, and perez the father of hezron, and hezron the father of ram,1 4 and ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of nahshon, and nahshon the father of salmon, 5 and salmon the father of Boaz by rahab, and Boaz the father of obed by ruth, and obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of david the king.

And david was the father of solomon by the wife of Uriah, 7 and solomon the father of rehoboam, and rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph,2 8 and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, 9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz,

and Ahaz the father of hezekiah, 10 and hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Ma-nasseh the father of Amos,3 and Amos the father of Josiah, 11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.

12And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of shealtiel,4 and shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, 13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of eliakim, and eliakim the father of Azor, 14 and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of eliud, 15 and eliud the father of eleazar, and eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called christ.

17 so all the generations from Abraham to david were fourteen generations, and from david to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the christ fourteen generations.

2 Thus the heavens and the earth were fin-ished, and all the host of them. 2fAnd on

the seventh day God finished his work that hehad done, and he rested on the seventh dayfrom all his work that he had done.3fSo Godblessed the seventh day and made it holy,because on it God rested from all his workthat he had done in creation.The Creation of Man and Woman

4 These are the generationsof the heavens and the earth when they

were created,in the day that the LORD God made the

earth and the heavens.5fWhen no bush of the field1 was yet in the

land2 and no small plant of the field had yetsprung up—for the LORD God had notcaused it to rain on the land, and there wasno man to work the ground,6fand a mist3 wasgoing up from the land and was watering thewhole face of the ground— 7fthen the LORDGod formed the man of dust from the groundand breathed into his nostrils the breath oflife, and the man became a living creature.8fAnd the LORD God planted a garden inEden, in the east, and there he put the manwhom he had formed. 9fAnd out of theground the LORD God made to spring upevery tree that is pleasant to the sight andgood for food. The tree of life was in the midstof the garden, and the tree of the knowledgeof good and evil.

10fA river flowed out of Eden to water thegarden, and there it divided and became fourrivers.11fThe name of the first is the Pishon. Itis the one that flowed around the whole landof Havilah, where there is gold. 12fAnd thegold of that land is good; bdellium and onyxstone are there. 13fThe name of the secondriver is the Gihon. It is the one that flowedaround the whole land of Cush. 14fAnd thename of the third river is the Tigris, whichflows east of Assyria. And the fourth river isthe Euphrates.

15fThe LORD God took the man and puthim in the garden of Eden to work it and keepit.16fAnd the LORD God commanded the man,saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of

the garden,17fbut of the tree of the knowledgeof good and evil you shall not eat, for in theday that you eat4 of it you shall surely die.”

18fThen the LORD God said, “It is not goodthat the man should be alone; I will makehim a helper fit for5 him.” 19fSo out of theground the LORD God formed6 every beast ofthe field and every bird of the heavens andbrought them to the man to see what hewould call them. And whatever the mancalled every living creature, that was its name.20fThe man gave names to all livestock and tothe birds of the heavens and to every beast ofthe field. But for Adam7 there was not founda helper fit for him.21fSo the LORD God causeda deep sleep to fall upon the man, and whilehe slept took one of his ribs and closed up itsplace with flesh. 22fAnd the rib that the LORDGod had taken from the man he made8 into awoman and brought her to the man. 23fThenthe man said,

“This at last is bone of my bonesand flesh of my flesh;

she shall be called Woman,because she was taken out of Man.”9

24fTherefore a man shall leave his father andhis mother and hold fast to his wife, and theyshall become one flesh. 25fAnd the man andhis wife were both naked and were notashamed.The Fall

3 Now the serpent was more crafty thanany other beast of the field that the LORD

God had made.He said to the woman, “Did God actually

say, ‘You10 shall not eat of any tree in the gar-den’?” 2fAnd the woman said to the serpent,“We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the gar-den, 3fbut God said, ‘You shall not eat of thefruit of the tree that is in the midst of the gar-den, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’f”4fBut the serpent said to the woman, “You willnot surely die. 5fFor God knows that whenyou eat of it your eyes will be opened, andyou will be like God, knowing good and evil.”6fSo when the woman saw that the tree wasgood for food, and that it was a delight to theeyes, and that the tree was to be desired tomake one wise,11 she took of its fruit and ate,and she also gave some to her husband whowas with her, and he ate. 7fThen the eyes ofboth were opened, and they knew that theywere naked. And they sewed fig leavestogether and made themselves loincloths.

The Creation of the World

1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The

earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

3 And God said, “Let there be

light,” and there was light. 4 And

God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

6 And God said, “Let there be an

expanse1 in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7

And God made2 the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. 8

And God called the expanse Heaven.3 And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.

9 And God said, “Let the waters

under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. 10

God called the dry land Earth,4 and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, “Let the earth

sprout vegetation, plants5 yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. 12

The earth brought forth vege-tation, plants yielding seed accord-ing to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13

And there was evening and there was morn-ing, the third day.

14 And God said, “Let there be

lights in the expanse of the heav-ens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons,6 and for days and years, 15

and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 16

And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17

And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18

to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19

And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.

The account alternates between Jesus’ activities of healing and casting out demons, and major blocks of his teaching, including the Sermon on the Mount (chs. 5–7), the Parables of the Kingdom (ch. 13), and the Olivet Discourse (chs. 24–25).

2Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram,� 4 and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the fa-ther of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of David the king.

And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, 7 and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph,� 8 and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, 9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, 10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos,� and Amos the father of Josiah, 11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.

M A T T h e wThe Genealogy of Jesus Christ


2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram,1 4 and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of David the king.

And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, 7 and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph,2 8 and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, 9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, 10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos,3 and Amos the father of Josiah, 11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.

12 And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel,4 and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, 13 and Ze rubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, 14 and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, 15 and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.

17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.

The Birth of Jesus Christ18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ5 took place

in this way. When his mother Mary had been

betrothed6 to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

23 a “ Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,

and they shall call his name Immanuel”

(which means, God with us). 24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.


2 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king,

behold, wise men7 from the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose8 and have come to worship him.” 3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; 4 and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. 5 They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:

6 b “ ‘ And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,

are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;

for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’ ”

7 Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him,

1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus christ, the son of david, the son of

Abraham.2Abraham was the father of isaac, and

isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 and Judah the father of perez and Zerah by Tamar, and perez the father of hezron, and hezron the father of ram,1 4 and ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of nahshon, and nahshon the father of salmon, 5 and salmon the father of Boaz by rahab, and Boaz the father of obed by ruth, and obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of david the king.

And david was the father of solomon by the wife of Uriah, 7 and solomon the father of rehoboam, and rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph,2 8 and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, 9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz,

12And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of shealtiel,4 and shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, 13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of eliakim, and eliakim the father of Azor, 14 and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of eliud, 15 and eliud the father of eleazar, and eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called christ.

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse1 in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7 And God made2 the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. 8 And God called the expanse Heaven.3 And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.

9 And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry land Earth,4 and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants5 yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.

14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons,6 and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 16 And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 to rule over the day

and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.

20 And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds7 fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” 21 So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.

24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

26 Then God said, “Let us make man8 in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And

1 the book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of abraham.

2abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by tamar, and Perez the father of hezron, and hezron the father of Ram,1 4 and Ram the father of amminadab, and amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of David the king.

and David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, 7 and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of abijah, and abijah the father of asaph,2 8 and asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, 9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of ahaz, and ahaz the father of hezekiah, 10 and hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of amos,3 and amos the father of Josiah, 11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.

12and after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel,4 and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, 13 and Zerubbabel the father of abiud, and abiud the father of eliakim, and eliakim the father of azor, 14 and azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of achim, and achim the father of eliud, 15 and eliud the father of eleazar, and eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.

17 So all the generations from abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.

The Birth of Jesus Christ18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ5 took place

in this way. when his mother Mary had been betrothed6 to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the holy Spirit. 19and her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22all this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

23 a “ Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,

and they shall call his name Immanuel”

(which means, God with us). 24 when Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. and he called his name Jesus.


2 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of herod the king, behold,

wise men7 from the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose8 and have come to worship him.” 3 when herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; 4 and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. 5 they told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:

6 b “ ‘ and you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of

Judah;

IntroductionThe Gospel of Matthew presents Jesus as Israel’s Messiah. The account alternates between Jesus’ activities of healing and casting out demons, and major blocks of his teaching, including the Sermon on the Mount (chs. 5–7), the Parables of the Kingdom (ch. 13), and the Olivet Discourse (chs. 24–25). The Sermon on the Mount includes the Beatitudes (5:3-12) and the Lord’s Prayer (6:5-15). The book closes with the Great Commission (28:18-20). A recurring theme is the conflict between Jesus and the religious leaders, culminating in his pronouncement of “seven woes” upon them (ch. 23). As do all four Gospel accounts, Matthew focuses on Christ’s three-year ministry and his death and resurrection. Matthew probably wrote his Gospel in the 50s or 60s a.d.

1 In the a beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth

was b without form and void, and dark-ness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

3 And God said, c “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God sepa-rated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

6 And God said, d “Let there be an expanse1 in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7 And God made2 the expanse and e separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were f above the expanse. And it was so. 8 And God called the expanse Heaven.3 And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.

9 And God said, g “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry land Earth,4 and the waters that were gath-ered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, h “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants5 yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is

their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yield-ing seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.

14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to sep-arate the day from the night. And let them be for i signs and for j seasons,6 and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 16 And God k made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 to l rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.

20 And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds7 fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” 21 So m God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according

IntroductionAs its name implies, Genesis is about beginnings. Genesis tells us that God created everything that exists. It shows that God is both the Creator and the Ruler of all creation. But it also tells of humanity’s tragic fall into sin and death, and of God’s unfolding plan of redemption through his covenant with Abraham and his descendants. Genesis includes some of the most memorable stories in the Bible, beginning with Adam and Eve (chs. 1–4), continuing through Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and ending with the life of Joseph (chs. 37–50), who died before 1600 b.c. Traditionally, Jews and Christians have recognized Moses as the author, writing after the Exodus from Egypt, commonly dated around 1440 b.c. though some prefer a date around 1260 b.c.
