An account of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham:

and Jacob fathered Joseph the husband of Mary,

who gave birth to Jesus who is called the Messiah.

So he assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people and asked them where the Messiah would be born.

Now when John heard in prison what the Christ was doing, he sent a message through his disciples

Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

Then he gave the disciples orders to tell no one that he was[fn] the Messiah.

“What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he? ”

They replied, “David’s.”

“But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ because you have one Teacher,[fn] and you are all brothers and sisters.

“You are not to be called instructors either, because you have one Instructor, the Messiah.

“For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and they will deceive many.

“If anyone tells you then, ‘See, here is the Messiah! ’ or, ‘Over here! ’ do not believe it.

But Jesus kept silent. The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”

and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah! Who was it that hit you? ”

So when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Who is it you want me to release for you ​— ​Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ? ”

Pilate asked them, “What should I do then with Jesus, who is called Christ? ”

They all answered, “Crucify him! ”

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.[fn]

“But you,” he asked them, “who do you say that I am? ”

Peter answered him, “You are the Messiah.”

“And whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you belong to Christ ​— ​truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.

While Jesus was teaching in the temple, he asked, “How can the scribes say that the Messiah is the son of David?

“Then if anyone tells you, ‘See, here is the Messiah! See, there! ’ do not believe it.

But he kept silent and did not answer. Again the high priest questioned him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One? ”

“Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe.” Even those who were crucified with him taunted him.

“Today in the city of David a Savior was born for you, who is the Messiah, the Lord.

It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he saw the Lord’s Messiah.

Now the people were waiting expectantly, and all of them were questioning in their hearts whether John might be the Messiah.

Also, demons were coming out of many, shouting and saying, “You are the Son of God! ” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Messiah.

“But you,” he asked them, “who do you say that I am? ”

Peter answered, “God’s Messiah.”

Then he said to them, “How can they say that the Messiah is the son of David?

They said, “If you are the Messiah, tell us.”

But he said to them, “If I do tell you, you will not believe.

They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation, opposing payment of taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is the Messiah, a king.”

The people stood watching, and even the leaders were scoffing: “He saved others; let him save himself if this is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One! ”

Then one of the criminals hanging there began to yell insults at[fn] him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us! ”

“Wasn’t it necessary for the Messiah to suffer these things and enter into his glory? ”

He also said to them, “This is what is written:[fn] The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead the third day,

for the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

He didn’t deny it but confessed, “I am not the Messiah.”

So they asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you aren’t the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet? ”

He first found his own brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah”[fn] (which is translated “the Christ”),

“You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah, but I’ve been sent ahead of him.’

The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”

“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah? ”

And they told the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, since we have heard for ourselves and know that this really is the Savior of the world.”[fn]

“We have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.”[fn]

“Yet, look, he’s speaking publicly and they’re saying nothing to him. Can it be true that the authorities know he is the Messiah?

However, many from the crowd believed in him and said, “When the Messiah comes, he won’t perform more signs than this man has done, will he? ”

Others said, “This is the Messiah.” But some said, “Surely the Messiah doesn’t come from Galilee, does he?
