Matthew
From at least the 2nd. century A.D., the Gospel of Matthew has been ascribed to Matthew the publican, tax-collector, disciple. It is the most complete account of Jesus' teachings and was written to convince the writer's Jewish audience that Jesus was the Messiah descended from David, the One promised by the Old Testament Prophets.
Matthew 1
v17: So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations.
v23: "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us."
v25: and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name JESUS.
Matthew 2
v09: When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was.
v12: Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.
v13: Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him."
v16: Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men.
v19: Now when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
v22: But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the region of Galilee.
Matthew 3
v08: Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance,
v14: And John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?"
v15: But Jesus answered and said to him, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed Him.
v16: When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.
v17: And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
Matthew 4
v01: Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
v02: And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.
v03: Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."
v06: and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: "He shall give His angels charge over you,' and, "In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone."'
v08: Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
v11: Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.
v17: From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
v19: Then He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."
v20: They immediately left their nets and followed Him.
v23: And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.
v24: Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them.
Matthew 5

v12: Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
v13: "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
v14: "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

v28: But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

v30: And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.
v37: But let your "Yes' be "Yes,' and your "No,' "No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.

v42: Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.
v44: But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
v45: that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
v46: For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
Matthew 6
v04: that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.
v06: But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
v07: And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.

v21: For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
v24: "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
v25: "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
v33: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
v34: Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Matthew 7

v01: "Judge not, that you be not judged.
v02: For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

v20: Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
v21: "Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

The Parable of the Sower - Parables About the Kingdom of Heaven
v01: On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.
v08: But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
v11: He answered and said to them, "Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.
v12: For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
v19: When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.

v14: Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
v15: "Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.
v16: But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that "by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.'
