and learning that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction he turned him over to Herod, for Herod was in Jerusalem at that time.

But when Herod's birthday came, Herodias' daughter danced before the company. And Herod was delighted with her,

he said, "I will hear your case as soon as your accusers arrive." And he gave orders that he should be kept in Herod's palace.

and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's manager, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them with their means.

For it was Herod who had sent and seized John and bound him and put him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because Herod had married her.

but Herod the governor, whom he condemned because of Herodias, his brother's wife, and all the wicked things Herod had done,

Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they came before him in a body, and after winning over Blastus, the king's chamberlain, they asked for a reconciliation, because their country depended upon the king's dominions for its food supply.

For Herod had seized John and bound him and put him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife,

John said to Herod, "It is not right for you to be living with your brother's wife."

About that time King Herod laid violent hands upon some who belonged to the church.

The night before Herod was going to bring him out, Peter was asleep between two soldiers, and fastened with two chains, and watchmen were at the door, guarding the jail,

Then Peter came to himself, and he said, "Now I am certain that the Lord sent his angel and rescued me from the power of Herod and all that the Jewish people were expecting."

Herod had inquiries made for him, and when he could not find him, he examined the guards and ordered them to be put to death. Then he left Judea for Caesarea, and stayed there.

So a day was fixed and on it Herod, dressed in his robes of state, took his seat on his throne in the theater, and made them an address,

There were at Antioch in the church there a number of prophets and teachers??arnabas, Symeon who was called Niger, Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the governor, and Saul.

Now after the birth of Jesus at Bethlehem in Judea, in the days of King Herod, astrologers from the east arrived at Jerusalem,

When King Herod heard of this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

Then Herod secretly sent for the astrologers, and found out from them the exact time when the star appeared.

Then, as they had been divinely warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their own country by another way.

When they were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, and said, "Wake up! Take the child and his mother and make your escape to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you to leave. For Herod is going to look for the child in order to make away with him."

Then Herod saw that he had been tricked by the astrologers, and he was very angry, and he sent and made away with all the boys in Bethlehem and in all that neighborhood who were two years old or under, for that was the tune he had learned from the astrologers by his inquiries.

But when Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt

But hearing that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to return there; and being warned in a dream, he took refuge in the region of Galilee,

At that time, Herod the governor heard the reports about Jesus,

King Herod heard of him, for his name was now well known, and people were saying that John the baptizer had risen from the dead, and that that was why he was endowed with these extraordinary powers.

But when Herod heard of him he said, "John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead."

for Herod stood in awe of John, knowing that he was an upright and holy man, and he protected him. And when he heard him talk he was very much disturbed, and yet he liked to hear him.

When a holiday came and Herod on his birthday gave a banquet to his courtiers and officers and to the leading men of Galilee,

Herodias' own daughter came in and danced for them. And Herod and his guests were delighted, and the king said to the girl,

And he warned them, saying, "Look out! Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!"

In the days when Herod was king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah who belonged to the division of Abijah. His wife was also a descendant of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

In the fifteenth year of the reign of the Emperor Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod governor of Galilee, while his brother Philip was governor of the territory of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was the governor of Abilene,

Herod the governor heard of all that was happening, and he was perplexed because some people said that John had risen from the dead,

But Herod said, "John I have beheaded, but who can this be about whom I hear such reports?" And he endeavored to see him.

Just then some Pharisees came up and said to him, "Go! Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you!"

When Herod saw Jesus he was delighted, for he had wanted for a long time to see him, because he had heard about him and he hoped to see some wonder done by him.

And Herod and his guards made light of him and ridiculed him, and they put a gorgeous robe on him and sent him back to Pilate.

And Herod and Pilate became friends that day, for they had been at enmity before.

Neither has Herod, for he has sent him back to us. You see he has done nothing to call for his death.

and to love him with one's whole heart, one's whole understanding, and one's whole strength, and to love one's neighbor as one's self is far more than all these burnt-offerings and sacrifices."
