Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

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

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

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 did I call my son.

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

It was said also, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
