However, on Herod's birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced in public to the delight of Herod;

But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him for Herodias his brother's wife as well as for all the wickedness that he, Herod, had committed,

and ascertaining that he came under the jurisdiction of Herod, he remitted him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem during those days.

John had told Herod, "You have no right to your brother's wife."

Then Herod summoned the magicians in secret and ascertained from them the time of the star's appearance.

For Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias the wife of his brother Philip,

Just then some Pharisees came up to tell him, "Get away from here, for Herod intends to kill you."

In this very city they actually mustered against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst consecrate ??Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,

Now this came to the hearing of king Herod, for the name of Jesus had become well known; people said, "John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, that is why miraculous powers are working through him;"

But when Herod heard of it he said, "John has risen, the John I beheaded."

For this Herod had sent and arrested John and bound him in prison on account of his marriage to Herodias the wife of his brother Philip;

for Herod stood in awe of John, knowing he was a just and holy man; so he protected John ??he was greatly exercised when he listened to him, still he was glad to listen to him.

Then came a holiday, when Herod held a feast on his birthday for his chief officials and generals and the notables of Galilee.

The daughter of Herodias went in and danced to them, and Herod and his guests were so delighted that the king said to the girl, "Ask anything you like and I will give you it."

So he cautioned them, "See and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."

It was about that time that king Herod laid hands of violence on some members of the church.

The very night before Herod meant to have him produced, Peter lay asleep between two soldiers; he was fastened by two chains, and sentries in front of the door guarded the prison.

Then Peter came to his senses and said, "Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were anticipating."

Herod made inquiries for him but could not find him; so, after cross-examining the guards, he ordered them off to death. He then went down from Judaea to Caesarea, where he spent some time.

On a stated day Herod arrayed himself in royal robes, took his seat on the dais, and proceeded to harangue them.

Now in the local church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Symeon (called Niger) and Lucius the Cyrenian, besides Manaen (a foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch) and Saul.

Herod was greatly delighted to see Jesus; he had long wanted to see him, because he had heard about him and also because he hoped to see him perform some miracle.

Then Herod and his troops scoffed at him and made fun of him, and after arraying him in a bright robe he remitted him to Pilate.

Herod and Pilate became friends that day ??previously they had been at enmity.

No, nor has Herod, for he has remitted him to us. He has done nothing, you see, that calls for death;

In the days of Herod king of Judaea there was a priest called Zechariah, who belonged to the division of Abijah; he had a wife who belonged to the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judaea, Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, Philip his brother tetrarch of the country of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysias tetrarch of Abilene,

he said, "I will go into your case whenever your accusers arrive," giving orders that he was to be kept in the praetorium of Herod.

Now when Jesus was born at Bethlehem, belonging to Judaea, in the days of king Herod, magicians from the East arrived at Jerusalem,

The news of this troubled king Herod and all Jerusalem as well;

Then, as they had been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country by a different road.

After they had gone, there appeared an angel of the Lord to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Rise, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt; stay there till I tell you. For Herod is going to search for the child and destroy him."

where he stayed until the death of Herod. This was to fulfil what the Lord had said by the prophet: I called my Son from Egypt.

Then Herod saw the magicians had trifled with him, and he was furiously angry; he sent and slew all the male children in Bethlehem and in all the neighbourhood who were two years old or under, calculating by the time he had ascertained from the magicians.

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

but on hearing that Archelaus reigned over Judaea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there and, by a divine injunction in a dream, withdrew to the region of Galilee.

Joanna the wife of Chuza the chancellor of Herod, Susanna, and a number of others, who ministered to him out of their means.

When Herod the tetrarch heard all that was going on, he was quite at a loss; for some said that John had risen from the dead,

Herod said, "John I beheaded. But who is this, of whom I hear such tales?" And he made efforts to see him.

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