John 1:1-18

King James Version (KJV)

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

^2 The same was in the beginning with God.

^3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

^4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

^5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

^6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

^7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

^8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

^9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

^10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

^11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

^12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

^13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

^14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

^15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

^16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

^17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

^18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

 

Mark 1:1

1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

Luke 1:1-4

1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,

^2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

^3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,

^4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.

 

Luke 2:23-38

^23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)

^24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.

^25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.

^26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.

^27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,

^28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

^29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:

^30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

^31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

^32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

^33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

^34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;

^35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

^36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;

^37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

^38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

 

Matthew 1:1-17

1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, 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 Salmon;

^5 And Salmon 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 had been 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 Ozias;

^9 And Ozias 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 Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:

^12 And after they were brought to 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, who is called Christ.

^17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
