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

But when Herod the king heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, inquired of them exactly what time the star appeared.

When they had heard the king, they departed. And lo, the star which they saw in the east went before them until it came and stood over where the child was.

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

And when they had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise and take the young child and His mother and flee into Egypt. And be there until I bring you word, for Herod is about to seek the child to destroy Him.

And he was there until the death of Herod; so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, "Out of Egypt I have called My Son."

Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was greatly enraged. And he sent and killed all the boys in Bethlehem, and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had carefully inquired of the wise men.

"A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not."

But Herod having expired, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

But when he heard that Archelaus reigned in Judea in his father Herod's place, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee.

But when Jesus heard that John was thrown into prison, He went back into Galilee.

Blessed are the pure in heart! For they shall see God.

You have heard that it was said to the ancients, "You shall not kill" --and, "Whoever shall kill shall be liable to the judgment."

You have heard that it was said to the ancients, "You shall not commit adultery."

But I say to you that whoever looks on a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Again, you have heard that it has been said to the ancients, "You shall not swear falsely, but you shall perform 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, "You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy."

But when you pray, do not babble vain words, as the nations. For they think that in their much speaking they shall be heard.

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

When Jesus heard, He marvelled and said to those who followed, Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.

And there was a good way off from them a herd of many swine, feeding.

And the demons begged Him, saying, If You cast us out, allow us to go away into the herd of swine.

And He said to them, Go! And when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine. And behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea and perished in the waters.

But when Jesus heard, He said to them, The ones who are whole do not need a physician, but the ones who are sick.

But when John heard in the prison of the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples.

Take My yoke on you and learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest to your souls.

But when the Pharisees heard, they said, This one does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub the ruler of the demons.

Offspring of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings out good things; and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings out evil things.

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

for this people's heart has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes, lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."

For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear what you hear, and have not heard them.

When anyone hears the Word of the kingdom and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown by the wayside.

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

For Herod had laid hold on John, and had bound him, and had put him in prison because of Herodias his brother Philip's wife.

But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod.

When Jesus heard, He departed from there by boat into a deserted place apart. And hearing, the crowds followed Him on foot out of the cities.

"This people draws near to Me with their mouth, and honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.

Then His disciples came and said to Him, Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?

But the things which come out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile the man.

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies;

And when the disciples heard, they fell on their face and were greatly terrified.

He said to them, Because of your hard-heartedness Moses allowed you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not so.

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

When His disciples heard, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

And when the ten heard it, they were indignant concerning the two brothers.

And behold, two blind men were sitting by the wayside. When they heard that Jesus passed by, they cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!

And when the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that He spoke of them.

But when the king heard, he was angry. And he sent out his armies and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

When they heard these words, they marveled, and they left Him and went away.

And when the crowd heard this, they were astonished at His doctrine.

Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

For they bind heavy and hard-to-carry burdens and lay them on men's shoulders. But they will not move them with one of their fingers.

But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My Lord delays His coming,

And he who had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew that you were a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.

Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.

Some of those who stood there, when they heard, said, This one calls for Elijah.
