Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of king Herod, behold, there came certain wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him:

Then Herod called the wise men to him privately, and inquired of them exactly the time of the star's appearing:

When they had heard the king, they went: and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went on before them, till it came and stood over the place where the child was.

And being warned of God in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back into their own country another way.

And when they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Rise and take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and continue there, untill I tell thee to return: for Herod will seek the child to destroy Him.

and stayed there till the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spake by the prophet, saying, " Out of Egypt have I called my Son."

Then Herod, when he saw that he was baffled by the wise-men, was very much enraged; and he sent and slew all the male-children in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly inquired of the wise-men.

saying, In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel bewailing her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

but when he heard that Archelaus reigned over Judea in the room of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither; however being warned of God in a dream, he retired into the district of Galilee.

Now when Jesus heard that John was imprisoned, He departed into Galilee:

Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.

Ye have heard, that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever committeth murder, shall be liable to the judgment:

Ye have heard, that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

but I tell you, that whosoever looketh on a woman, so as to lust after her, hath already debauched her in his heart.

Again, ye have heard, that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:

Ye have heard, that it has been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

Ye have heard, that it has been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy:

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathens do, for they think they shall be heard for their speaking much:

for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

And when Jesus heard it He marvelled, and said to them that followed Him, Verily, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith even in Israel:

Now there was at some distance from them a large herd of swine seeding: and the devils besought Him,

saying, If Thou cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine:

and He said unto them, Go: and they came out and went away into the herd of swine; and lo, all the herd of swine ran furiously down a precipice into the sea,

and behold, they brought to Him one that had the palsy laid on a couch: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Take heart my son, for thy sins are forgiven thee.

Now when John heard in prison of the works of Christ,

Take but my yoke upon you, and learn of me, (for I am meek and lowly in heart,) and ye shall find refreshment to your souls:

O race of vipers, how can ye speak good things, who are yourselves so wicked? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart produceth good things; and a wicked man out of the wicked treasure uttereth wicked things:

for as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, Ye shall hear by the hearing of the ear, and not understand; and in seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: for the heart of this people is grown stupid,

and their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; least they should see at all with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

for indeed I tell you, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear what ye hear, and have not heard them.

and regardeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and snatcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he who received the seed as by the way-side.

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

for Herod had apprehended John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife;

But when Herod's birth-day was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod, so

And when Jesus heard it, He departed from thence in a ship to a solitary place of retirement: but the people hearing where He was followed Him on foot from the cities:

saying, This people approach me with their mouth, and honour me with their lips, but their heart is far from me:

Whereupon his disciples came and said to Him, Dost thou know that the pharisees, when they heard this assertion, were offended at it?

But the things, which proceed out of the mouth, come from the heart, and those defile a man.

For out of the heart proceed wicked disputings, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false-witnessings, slanders:

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

But when the young man heard that, he went away sorrowful; for he had large possessions.

His disciples, when they heard this, were exceedingly struck, and said, Who then can be saved?

And when the other ten heard it, they were provoked at the two brethren:

and behold, two blind men siting by the way-side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.

but when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonders that He wrought, and the children crying out in the temple, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were vexed to the heart, and said to Him, Dost thou hear what these say?

And when the chief priests and pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that He spake of them:

And when the king heard of it, he was highly provoked, and sent his troops, and destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city.

And when they heard this, they marvelled, and left Him and went away.

And when the people heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

But when the pharisees heard that He had silenced the sadducees,

And Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind: this is the first and great command.

But if that servant be wicked and say in his heart, my master delayeth his coming,

And he also who received the one talent came to him and said, Sir, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou sowedst not, and gathering where thou hast not strewed;

Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy, what need have we more of witnesses? now ye have heard his blasphemy, what think ye?
