But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias was dancing before them, and Herod was pleased with her.

And Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's chief house-servant, and Susanna and a number of others, who gave him of their wealth for his needs.

At that time, certain Pharisees came to him and said, Go away from this place, because Herod's purpose is to put you to death.

I will give hearing to your cause, he said, when those who are against you have come. And he gave orders for him to be kept in Herod's Praetorium.

But Herod the king, because John had made a protest on account of Herodias, his brother's wife, and other evil things which Herod had done,

And when he saw that he was under the authority of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was in Jerusalem himself at that time.

For Herod himself had sent men out to take John and put him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had taken for himself.

For John said to Herod, It is wrong for you to have your brother's wife.

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

And king Herod had news of him, because his name was on the lips of all; and he said, John the Baptist has come back from the dead, and for this reason these powers are working in him.

But Herod, when he had news of it, said, John, whom I put to death, has come back from the dead.

For Herod was in fear of John, being conscious that he was an upright and holy man, and kept him safe. And hearing him, he was much troubled; and he gave ear to him gladly.

And the chance came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;

And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and did a dance, Herod and those who were at table with him were pleased with her; and the king said to the girl, Make a request for anything and I will give it you.

And he said to them, Take care to be on the watch against the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.

In the days of Herod, king of Judaea, there was a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the order of Abijah; and he had a wife of the family of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

Now in the fifteenth year of the rule of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being ruler of Judaea, and Herod being king of Galilee, his brother Philip king of the country of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias king of Abilene,

Now Herod the king had news of all these things: and he was in doubt, because it was said by some people that John had come back from the dead;

And Herod said, I put John to death: but who is this, of whom such stories are given to me? And he had a desire to see him.

Now when Herod saw Jesus he was very glad, having for a long time had a desire to see him, for he had had accounts of him, and was hoping to see some wonders done by him.

And Herod, with the men of his army, put shame on him and made sport of him, and dressing him in shining robes, he sent him back to Pilate.

And that day Herod and Pilate became friends with one another, for before they had been against one another.

And Herod is of the same opinion, for he has sent him back to us; for, you see, he has done nothing for which I might put him to death.

For, truly, in this town, against your holy servant, Jesus, who was marked out by you as Christ, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, came together,

Now, about that time, Herod the king made cruel attacks on the Christians.

And when Herod was about to take him out, the same night Peter was sleeping in chains between two armed men, and the watchmen were keeping watch before the door of the prison.

And when Peter came to his senses he said, Now, truly, I am certain that the Lord has sent his angel and taken me out of the hands of Herod, against all the hopes of the Jews.

And Herod, when he sent for him, and he was not there, after questioning the watchmen, gave orders that they were to be put to death. Then he went down from Judaea to Caesarea for a time.

And on the day which had been fixed, Herod, dressed in his robes and seated in his place, made a public statement to them.

Now there were at Antioch, in the church there, prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon who was named Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, a relation of Herod the king, and Saul.

Now when the birth of Jesus took place in Beth-lehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

And when it came to the ears of Herod the king, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

Then Herod sent for the wise men privately, and put questions to them about what time the star had been seen.

And it was made clear to them by God in a dream that they were not to go back to Herod; so they went into their country by another way.

And when they had gone, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream, saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into Egypt, and do not go from there till I give you word; for Herod will be searching for the young child to put him to death.

And was there till the death of Herod; so that the word of the Lord through the prophet might come true, Out of Egypt have I sent for my son.

Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was very angry; and he sent out, and put to death all the male children in Beth-lehem and in all the parts round about it, from two years old and under, acting on the knowledge which he had got with care from the wise men.

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

But when it came to his ears that Archelaus was ruling over Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was in fear of going there; and God having given him news of the danger in a dream, he went out of the way into the country parts of Galilee.

At that time news of Jesus came to Herod the king;

They say to him, Caesar's. Then he said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's.

And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and yours is the heritage by the right of God's undertaking given to Abraham.
