And he said to them, So it is in the Writings that the Christ would undergo death, and come back to life again on the third day;
And while the people were waiting, and all men were questioning in their hearts about John, if he was the Christ or not,
And evil spirits came out of a number of them, crying out and saying, You are the Son of God. But he gave them sharp orders not to say a word, because they had knowledge that he was the Christ.
And he said, But who do you say that I am? And Peter, answering, said, The Christ of God.
The first words of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
And Jesus, when he was teaching in the Temple, said, How do the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?
And then if any man says to you, See, here is Christ; or, See, there; have no faith in it:
But he kept quiet and said nothing. Again the high priest questioning him said, Are you the Christ, the son of the Holy One?
Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and have belief. And those who were put on crosses with him said evil things against him.
And he said to them, But who do you say I am? Peter said in answer, You are the Christ.
Whoever gives you a cup of water, because you are Christ's, truly I say to you, he will in no way be without his reward.
The book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Now when John had news in prison of the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples
And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is Christ.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the taking away to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the taking away to Babylon to the coming of Christ, fourteen generations.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.
And Simon Peter made answer and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Then he gave orders to the disciples to give no man word that he was the Christ.
What is your opinion of the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, The Son of David.
And you may not be named guides: because one is your Guide, even Christ.
And he got together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, questioning them as to where the birth-place of the Christ would be.
Then if any man says to you, See, here is the Christ, or, Here; do not put faith in him;
For people will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and a number will be turned from the true way through them.
But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.
Be a prophet, O Christ, and say who gave you a blow!
So when they came together, Pilate said to them, Whom will you have? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is named Christ?
Pilate says to them, What, then, am I to do with Jesus, who is named Christ? They all say, Let him be put to death on the cross.
Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our dear helper in the faith,
So brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: give new life to my heart in Christ.
Epaphras, my brother-prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you his love;
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. So be it.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
That the faith which you have in common with them may be working with power, in the knowledge of every good thing in you, for Christ.
And so, though I might, in the name of Christ, give you orders to do what is right,
Still, because of love, in place of an order, I make a request to you, I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner of Christ Jesus:
Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, with the Bishops and Deacons of the church:
So that you may give your approval to the best things; that you may be true and without wrongdoing till the day of Christ;
Being full of the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
So that it became clear through all the Praetorium, and to all the rest, that I was a prisoner on account of Christ;
Though some are preaching Christ out of envy and competition, others do it out of a good heart:
But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.
What then? only that in every way, falsely or truly, the preaching of Christ goes on; and in this I am glad, and will be glad.
For I am conscious that this will be for my salvation, through your prayer and the giving out of the stored wealth of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the measure of my strong hope and belief that in nothing will I be put to shame, but that without fear, as at all times, so now will Christ have glory in my body, by life or by death.
For to me life is Christ and death is profit.
I am in a hard position between the two, having a desire to go away and be with Christ, which is very much better:
So that your pride in me may be increased in Christ Jesus through my being present with you again.
Only let your behaviour do credit to the good news of Christ, so that if I come and see you or if I am away from you, I may have news of you that you are strong in one spirit, working together with one soul for the faith of the good news;
Because to you it has been given in the cause of Christ not only to have faith in him, but to undergo pain on his account:
