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

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

Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.

And they, having heard the king, went their way; and suddenly the star which they saw in the east went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was.

Being warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.

Now when they had departed, suddenly an 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 stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him."

and was there until the death of Herod; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt I called my son."

Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out, and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.

"A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; and she would not be comforted, because they are no more."

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

But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee,

Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

"You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, 'You shall not murder;' and 'Whoever shall murder shall be in danger of the judgment.'

"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;'

but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

"Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,'

"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.'

And in praying, do not use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.

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

And when Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed, "Truly I tell you, I have not found so great a faith with anyone in Israel.

Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.

And the demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs."

And he said to them, "Go." And they came out, and went into the herd of pigs: and suddenly the whole herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the water.

When he heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Messiah, he sent [a message] by his disciples

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

But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, "This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons."

You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

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

for this people's heart has grown callous, and their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and should turn again; and I would heal them.'

When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom, and does not understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.

At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,

For Herod had arrested John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.

Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat, to a secluded place to be alone. When the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.

'These people honor me with their lips; but their heart is far 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 which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.

For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.

When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.

So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you do not each forgive your brother from your heart."

But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.

When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?"

When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.

And just then two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, shouted, "Lord, have mercy on us, son of David."

When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.

When they heard it, they marveled, and left him, and went away.

When the crowds heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.

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

But if that evil servant should say in his heart, 'My lord is delayed,'

"He also who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.

Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy. Why do we need any more witnesses? See, now you have heard his blasphemy.

Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, "This man is calling Elijah."

And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was in the house.

And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and those from around Tyre and Sidon. A great crowd, when they heard what great things he did, came to him.

And when his family heard it, they went out to take charge of him: for they said, "He is out of his mind."

The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.

And these are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.

And others are those who are sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,

Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.

And he gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.

having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes.

King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, "John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."

But Herod, when he heard this, said, "This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen."

For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, for he had married her.

For John said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."

for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed, but he heard him gladly.

And then a convenient day came, that Herod on his birthday gave a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.

And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, "Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you."

And when his disciples heard this, they came and took up his corpse, and placed it in a tomb.

and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick, on their mats, to where they heard he was.

He said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, cleansing all the foods?"

For a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, immediately came and fell down at his feet.

He warned them, saying, "Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod."

But Jesus said, "For your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.

The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, "Children, how hard is it to enter into the Kingdom of God.

When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant towards James and John.

When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me."

Jesus told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." and his disciples heard it.

The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching.

Truly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening; it will be done for him.

And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together. Seeing that he had answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the greatest of all?"

you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.'

and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?" The common people heard him gladly.

They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.

"We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.'"

You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?" They all condemned him to be worthy of death.

Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, "Look, he is calling for Elijah."

When they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, they disbelieved.

Afterward he was revealed to the Eleven themselves as they sat at the table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

It happened, when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, that the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.
