A Translation of the New Testament from the original Greek: Humbly Attempted with a View to Assist the Unlearned with Clearer and More Explicit Views of the Mind of the Spirit in the Scriptures of Truth
Haweis, Thomas
Bible. New Testament
(21)Now it came to pass, at the time when John was baptising all the
people, that Jesus also was baptised, and as he prayed, the heaven was
opened, (22)and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily form, like a dove,
upon him, and a voice came from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved
Son, in thee I am well pleased.
(23)And Jesus himself was about thirty years of age when he began his
ministry, being (as was supposed the son of Joseph) of Heli, (24)of
Matthat, of Levi, of Melchi, of Janna, of Joseph, (25)of Mattathias, of
Amos, of Naum, of Esli, of Nagge, (26)of Maath, of Mattathias, of
Semei, of Joseph, of Juda, (27)of Joanna, of Rhesa, of Zerubbabel, of
Salathiel, of Neri, (28)of Melchi, of Addi, of Cosam, of Elmodam, of
Er, (29)of Jose, of Eliezer, of Jorim, of Matthat, of Levi, (30)of
Simeon, of Judah, of Joseph, of Jonan, of Eliakim, (31)of Melea, of
Menan, of Mattatha, of Nathan, of David, (32)of Jesse, of Obed, of
Booz, of Salmon, of Naasson, (33)of Aminadab, of Aram, of Esrom, of
Phares, of Judah, (34)of Jacob, of Isaac, of Abraham, of Terah, of
Nachor, (35)of Saruch, of Ragau, of Phalec, of Heber, of Sala, (36)of
Cainan, of Arphaxad, of Sem, of Noe, of Lamech, (37)of Methusaleh, of
Enoch, of Jared, of Maleleel, of Cainan, (38)of Enos, of Seth, of Adam,
_the son_ of God.
CHAP. IV.
THEN Jesus full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by
the spirit into the wilderness, (2)being tempted forty days by the
devil; and did eat nothing during those days: and when they were ended,
afterwards he was hungry. (3)And the devil said to him, If thou art the
Son of God, command this stone that it become a loaf. (4)And Jesus
answered him, saying, It is written, "Man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word of God."
(5)And the devil taking him up into an exceeding high mountain,
displayed before him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time:
(6)and the devil said unto him, I will give thee all this authority,
and the glory of these; for to me it is delivered, and to whomsoever I
will, I give it. (7)If therefore thou wilt worship before me, all shall
be thine. (8)And Jesus answering him, said, Get thee behind me, Satan,
for it is written, "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and to him
alone shalt thou pay divine honour."
(9)And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a wing of the
temple, and said to him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thy self down
from hence: (10)for it is written, "He shall give his angels a charge
over thee, to guard thee safely; (11)and that in their hands they shall
bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone."
(12)And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, "Thou shalt not
tempt the Lord thy God." (13)And when the devil had closed all the
temptation, he departed from him for a season.
