Matthew

  • Matthew 1:1

    This is the record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:

  • Matthew 1:16

    and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

  • Matthew 1:17

    In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.

  • Matthew 1:18

    This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.

  • Matthew 1:21

    She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”

  • Matthew 1:22

    All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:

  • Matthew 1:23

    “Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).

  • Matthew 1:25

    But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.

  • Matthew 2:1

    After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem,

  • Matthew 2:4

    And when he had assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ was to be born.

Read as a prophecy of Jesus in Christian tradition

The Theographic dataset makes this link following Christian interpretation. Jewish interpretation reads these verses differently, usually of a figure in the writer's own time or of a messiah still to come, and many Christian scholars also read a meaning for the writer's own day. These 22 verses are not counted above.

Dictionary

From Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897), as attached to this record by Theographic. The entry is for the name and can describe more than one person who bore it. Easton wrote in 1897, and some of his views are now debated.

Read Easton’s entry

Anointed, the Greek translation of the Hebrew word rendered “Messiah” (q.v.), the official title of our Lord, occurring five hundred and fourteen times in the New Testament. It denotes that he was anointed or consecrated to his great redemptive work as Prophet, Priest, and King of his people. He is Jesus the Christ (Acts 17:3; 18:5; Matt. 22:42), the Anointed One. He is thus spoken of by Isaiah (61:1), and by Daniel (9:24-26), who styles him “Messiah the Prince.”

The Messiah is the same person as “the seed of the woman” (Gen. 3:15), “the seed of Abraham” (Gen. 22:18), the “Prophet like unto Moses” (Deut. 18:15), “the priest after the order of Melchizedek” (Ps. 110:4), “the rod out of the stem of Jesse” (Isa. 11:1, 10), the “Immanuel,” the virgin’s son (Isa. 7:14), “the branch of Jehovah” (Isa. 4:2), and “the messenger of the covenant” (Mal. 3:1). This is he “of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write.” The Old Testament Scripture is full of prophetic declarations regarding the Great Deliverer and the work he was to accomplish. Jesus the Christ is Jesus the Great Deliverer, the Anointed One, the Saviour of men. This name denotes that Jesus was divinely appointed, commissioned, and accredited as the Saviour of men (Heb. 5:4; Isa. 11:2-4; 49:6; John 5:37; Acts 2:22).

To believe that “Jesus is the Christ” is to believe that he is the Anointed, the Messiah of the prophets, the Saviour sent of God, that he was, in a word, what he claimed to be. This is to believe the gospel, by the faith of which alone men can be brought unto God. That Jesus is the Christ is the testimony of God, and the faith of this constitutes a Christian (1 Cor. 12:3; 1 John 5:1).
