Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias the wife of his brother, and on account of all the evil deeds which Herod had done,

Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers; Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenaean, and Manaen, the fosterbrother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

And Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was taking place, and was perplexed; because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead;

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

For Herod had seized John, and bound him, and put him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philips wife.

And king Herod heard of him (for his name was spread abroad), and he said, John the Baptizer hath risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him. But others said, It is Elijah.

And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod.

In the same hour there came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Depart, and go hence; for Herod designeth to kill thee.

And on learning that he belonged to Herods jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself also at Jerusalem at this time.

And Herod also with his guard of soldiers set him at nought and mocked him, and having arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, sent him back to Pilate.


In the same hour there came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Depart, and go hence; for Herod designeth to kill thee. And he said to them, Go, tell that fox, Lo! I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I make an end.

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had ended these sayings, he removed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judaea, beyond the Jordan. And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

And departing thence, he cometh into the borders of Judaea, and to the other side of the Jordan; and multitudes again come together to him; and, as he was wont, he again taught them.

And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And lo! there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bent together, and wholly unable to lift herself up. And Jesus, seeing her, called to her, and said to her, Woman, thou art set free from thy infirmity. read more.
And he laid his hands on her; and immediately she stood upright, and gave glory to God. But the ruler of the synagogue answering, being filled with indignation because Jesus had performed a cure on the sabbath, said to the multitude, There are six days in which it is proper to work; on those therefore come and be cured, and not on the sabbathday. But the Lord answered him and said, Hypocrites, doth not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away and water him? And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo! for eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the sabbathday? And on his speaking thus, all his adversaries were ashamed; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him. He said therefore, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I compare it? It is like a grain of mustard, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and became a tree, and the birds of the air lodged in its branches. And again he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying towards Jerusalem. And one said to him, Lord, are there few that are to be saved? And he said to them, Strive to enter in through the narrow door; for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able. When once the master of the house shall have risen, and shut the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us, and he answering shall say to you, I know not whence ye are; then will ye begin to say, We ate and drank in thy presence, and thou didst teach in our streets. And he will say, I tell you, I know not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth there, when ye see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out. And from the east and the west and the north and the south will men come, and take their places at table in the kingdom of God. And lo! there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last. In the same hour there came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Depart, and go hence; for Herod designeth to kill thee. And he said to them, Go, tell that fox, Lo! I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I make an end. But today and tomorrow and the next day I must go on; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish out of Jerusalem. Jerusalem! Jerusalem! that killeth the prophets, and stoneth those who are sent to her! How often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen gathereth her brood under her wings, and ye would not! Lo! your house is abandoned to you. I declare to you, Ye will not see me until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

And when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilaean. And on learning that he belonged to Herods jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself also at Jerusalem at this time. Now Herod, when he saw Jesus, was very glad; for he had been wishing to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought by him. read more.
And he put many questions to him; but he gave him no answer. And the chief priests and scribes stood vehemently accusing him. And Herod also with his guard of soldiers set him at nought and mocked him, and having arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, sent him back to Pilate. And Herod and Pilate on that day became friends with each other; for they had before been at enmity. And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold, I have examined him before you, and have found nothing in this man to sustain the charges which ye bring against him. No, nor yet Herod; for he hath sent him back to us; and lo! nothing deserving death hath been done by him.
