Now [after] Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,

And [when] King Herod heard [it], he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him,

Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men [and] determined precisely from them the time [when] the star appeared.

And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their [own] country by another route.

Now [after] they had gone away, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph, saying, "Get up, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. For Herod is about to seek the child to destroy him."

And he was there until the death of Herod, in order that what was said by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying, "Out of Egypt I called my son."

Then Herod, [when he] saw that he had been deceived by the wise men, became very angry, and he sent [soldiers] [and] executed all the children in Bethlehem and in all the region [around] it from [the age of] two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined precisely from the wise men.

"A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping [for] her children, and she did not want to be comforted, because {they exist no longer}."

Now [after] Herod had died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

But [when he] heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream, he took refuge in the regions of Galilee.

Now [when he] heard that John {had been arrested}, he withdrew into Galilee.

Blessed [are] the pure in heart, because they will see God.

"You have heard that it was said to the {people of old}, 'Do not commit murder,' and 'whoever commits murder will be subject to judgment.'

"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.'

But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

"Again you have heard that it was said to the {people of old}, 'Do not swear falsely, but fulfill your oaths to the Lord.'

"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'

"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor' and 'Hate your enemy.'

"But [when you] pray, do not babble repetitiously like the pagans, for they think that because of their many words they will be heard.

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

Now [when] Jesus heard [this], he was astonished, and said to those who were following [him], "Truly I say to you, I have found such great faith with no one in Israel.

Now a long way from them a large herd of pigs was feeding.

So the demons implored him, saying, "If you are going to expel us, send us into the herd of pigs."

And he said to them, "Go!" So they departed [and] went into the pigs, and behold, the whole herd rushed headlong down the steep slope into the sea and drowned in the water.

And [when he] heard [it], he said, "Those who are healthy do not have need of a physician, but those {who are sick}.

Now [when] John heard in prison the deeds of Christ, he sent [word] by his disciples

Take my yoke on you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

But the Pharisees, [when they] heard [it], said, "This man does not expel demons except by Beelzebul the ruler of demons!"

Offspring of vipers! How are you able to say good things [when you] are evil? For from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

For just as Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

For the heart of this people has become dull, and with their ears they hear with difficulty, and they have shut their eyes, so that they would not see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them."

[When] anyone hears the word about the kingdom and does not understand [it], the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is what was sown on the side of the path.

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus

For Herod, [after] arresting John, bound him and put [him] in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip,

But [when] Herod's birthday celebration took place, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst [of them] and pleased Herod.

Now [when] Jesus heard [it], he withdrew from there in a boat to an isolated place by himself. And [when] the crowds heard [it], they followed him by land from the towns.

'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far, far away from me,

Then the disciples came [and] said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended [when they] heard this saying?"

But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these defile the person.

For from the heart come evil plans, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, abusive speech.

And [when] the disciples heard [this], they fell down on their faces and were extremely frightened.

He said to them, "Moses, with reference to your hardness of heart, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not like this.

But [when] the young man heard the statement, he went away sorrowful, because he was one who had many possessions.

So [when] the disciples heard [this], they were extremely amazed, saying, "Then who can be saved?"

And [when] the ten heard [this], they were indignant concerning the two brothers.

And behold, [there were] two blind men sitting beside the road. [When they] heard that Jesus was passing by, they called out, saying, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"

And [when] the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking about them,

And [when they] heard [this], they were astonished, and they left him [and] went away.

And [when] the crowds heard [this], they were amazed at his teaching.

Now [when] the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled at the same [place].

And he said to him, " 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'

And the one who had received the one talent came up also [and] said, 'Master, [because I] knew you, that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering from where you did not scatter [seed].

Then the high priest tore his robes, saying, "He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have just now heard the blasphemy!

And some of those who were standing there, [when they] heard [it], said, "This man is summoning Elijah!"

And if this [matter] is heard before the governor, we will satisfy him and {keep you out of trouble}."
