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

And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him:

Then Herod called the wise men to him privately, and inquired of them exactly the time of the star's appearing:

When they had heard the king, they went: and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went on before them, till it came and stood over the place where the child was.

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

And when they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Rise and take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and continue there, untill I tell thee to return: for Herod will seek the child to destroy Him.

and stayed there till the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spake by the prophet, saying, " Out of Egypt have I called my Son."

Then Herod, when he saw that he was baffled by the wise-men, was very much enraged; and he sent and slew all the male-children in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly inquired of the wise-men.

saying, In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel bewailing her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

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

but when he heard that Archelaus reigned over Judea in the room of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither; however being warned of God in a dream, he retired into the district of Galilee.

Now when Jesus heard that John was imprisoned, He departed into Galilee:

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

Ye have heard, that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever committeth murder, shall be liable to the judgment:

Ye have heard, that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

but I tell you, that whosoever looketh on a woman, so as to lust after her, hath already debauched her in his heart.

Again, ye have heard, that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:

Ye have heard, that it has been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

Ye have heard, that it has been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy:

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathens do, for they think they shall be heard for their speaking much:

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

And when Jesus heard it He marvelled, and said to them that followed Him, Verily, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith even in Israel:

Now there was at some distance from them a large herd of swine seeding: and the devils besought Him,

saying, If Thou cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine:

and He said unto them, Go: and they came out and went away into the herd of swine; and lo, all the herd of swine ran furiously down a precipice into the sea,

and behold, they brought to Him one that had the palsy laid on a couch: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Take heart my son, for thy sins are forgiven thee.

Now when John heard in prison of the works of Christ,

Take but my yoke upon you, and learn of me, (for I am meek and lowly in heart,) and ye shall find refreshment to your souls:

O race of vipers, how can ye speak good things, who are yourselves so wicked? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart produceth good things; and a wicked man out of the wicked treasure uttereth wicked things:

for as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, Ye shall hear by the hearing of the ear, and not understand; and in seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: for the heart of this people is grown stupid,

and their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; least they should see at all with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

for indeed I tell you, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear what ye hear, and have not heard them.

and regardeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and snatcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he who received the seed as by the way-side.

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

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

But when Herod's birth-day was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod, so

And when Jesus heard it, He departed from thence in a ship to a solitary place of retirement: but the people hearing where He was followed Him on foot from the cities:

saying, This people approach me with their mouth, and honour me with their lips, but their heart is far from me:

Whereupon his disciples came and said to Him, Dost thou know that the pharisees, when they heard this assertion, were offended at it?

But the things, which proceed out of the mouth, come from the heart, and those defile a man.

For out of the heart proceed wicked disputings, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false-witnessings, slanders:

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

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

His disciples, when they heard this, were exceedingly struck, and said, Who then can be saved?

And when the other ten heard it, they were provoked at the two brethren:

and behold, two blind men siting by the way-side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.

but when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonders that He wrought, and the children crying out in the temple, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were vexed to the heart, and said to Him, Dost thou hear what these say?

And when the chief priests and pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that He spake of them:

And when the king heard of it, he was highly provoked, and sent his troops, and destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city.

And when they heard this, they marvelled, and left Him and went away.

And when the people heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

But when the pharisees heard that He had silenced the sadducees,

And Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind: this is the first and great command.

But if that servant be wicked and say in his heart, my master delayeth his coming,

And he also who received the one talent came to him and said, Sir, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou sowedst not, and gathering where thou hast not strewed;

Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy, what need have we more of witnesses? now ye have heard his blasphemy, what think ye?

And after some days He went again into Capernaum; and it being heard that He was in the house,

And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on Him; for they said He spends Himself too much.

where the word is sown; but when they have heard it, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

Now there was a great herd of swine feeding upon the mountains:

And immediately Jesus permitted them: and the impure spirits went out of the man, and entered into the swine; and the herd (which were about two thousand,) ran violently down a precipice into the sea, and were suffocated.

when she heard of Jesus, came behind Him in the croud, and touched his garment; for she said,

and when the sabbath was come, He began to teach in the synagogue: and many that heard Him were astonished, and said, From whence hath He these things? and what is this wisdom which is given unto Him, that even such mighty things are done by his hands?

And king Herod heard of Him, (for his name was spread abroad,) and he said, John the baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore miraculous powers appear in him.

But when Herod heard of Him, he said, it is John whom I beheaded, he is risen from the dead.

For Herod had sent and seized John, and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because he had married her:

For John had said to Herod, it is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.

but could not; for Herod revered John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and protected him: and when he heard him he did many things according to John's instructions, and heard him willingly.

But a convenient day happening, when Herod on his birth-night gave a supper to his lords, and chief officers, and persons of distinction in Galilee; and the daughter of Herodias coming in,

and dancing, and having pleased Herod and his guests, the king said to the young princess, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

for their heart was stupified.

and carried about in beds those that were sick, where they heard He was.

But He answered them, Well did Esaias prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me:

because it entreth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all his food.

for out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts,

whose child was possessed by an evil spirit, having heard of Him, came and fell at his feet,

And therefore as He was giving them a charge, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,

And Jesus knowing it saith unto them, What are ye reasoning about? because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet discern nor understand? have ye your heart still hardened?

And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus repeating it, saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them, that trust in riches, to enter into the kingdom of God!

And when the other ten heard it, they were provoked at James and John.

Let no one ever eat fruit of thee hereafter. And his disciples heard it.

And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how to destroy Him; for they feared Him, because all the people were struck with his doctrine.

that whosoever shall say to this mountain, "Be thou removed and cast into the sea," and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith shall be done, he shall have whatsoever he saith.

And one of the scribes, who heard them disputing, seeing that He answered them well, came to Him and asked Him, Which is the chief commandment of all?

and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength:" this is the first or chief commandment,

And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices.

So that David himself calleth Him Lord: how then is He his son? And many of the people heard Him with pleasure.

And they were glad, when they heard it, and engaged to give him money. And he sought to betray Him at a proper season.

saying, 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:

ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? and they all condemned Him as worthy of death.

and when he heard it from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

but they, though they heard that He was indeed alive, and had been seen by her, did not believe it.

At last he appeared to the eleven as they were sitting at table, and upbraided them with their unbelief, and hardness of heart; because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He was risen.

they shall take up serpents, and if they should drink any thing poisonous, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall be well.

There was in the days of Herod king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the family of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

but the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias; for thy prayer is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John:

And as soon as Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the child leaped in her womb, and Elisabeth was filled with the holy Spirit:

He hath wrought powerfully with his arm; He hath confounded those that were proud in the imagination of their heart.
