Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem,

When Herod the king heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

Then Herod, when he had secretly called the Magi, inquired of them strictly at what time the star, then visible, first made its appearance:

When they had heard the king, they departed; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over the place where the young child was.

And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country by another way.

When they had departed, behold, 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 be there till I bring you word; for Herod is about to seek for the young child, to destroy him.

and was there till the death of Herod; that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through his prophet, saying: Out of Egypt have I called my Son.

Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the Magi, was greatly enraged, and sent out and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem and in all its borders, from the age of two years and under, according to the time which he had strictly inquired of the Magi.

A voice was heard in Eamah, wailing and weeping, and great mourning; Eachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted because they are no more.

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

But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither. But being warned in a dream, he with drew into the regions of Galilee,

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

You have heard that it was said to the ancients: You shall not kill; and whoever shall kill, shall be liable to the sentence of the judges.

You have heard that it was said: You shall not commit adultery.

But I say to you, Whoever looks upon a woman to cherish desire for her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients: You shall not swear falsely, but shall pay 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.

But when you pray, do not use vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they will be heard for their many words.

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

And when Jesus heard it, he was filled with admiration, and said to those who followed him: Verily I say to you, not even in Israel have I found so great faith.

Now there was, at a distance from them, a herd of many swine, feeding.

And the demons besought him, saying: If thou cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine.

And he said to them: Go. And when they had come out, they went away into the herd of swine. And behold, the whole herd of swine rushed down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

When Jesus heard it, he said to them: Those who are in health have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

Now when John had heard in the prison of the works of the Christ, he sent two of his disciples,

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.

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

Generation 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 great fish, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

For the heart of this people has become fat; and with their ears they hear heavily; and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn to me, and I should give them health.

When any one hears the word of the kingdom, and understands it not, the wicked one comes and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he that received seed by the way side.

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

But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod.

And when Jesus heard of it, he withdrew from that place, by ship, into a desert place apart: and the multitudes, when they heard of his departure, followed him, on foot, from the cities.

This people draws near to me with their mouth, and honors me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

Then came his disciples and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard that saying, were offended?

But those things which go out from the mouth, come from the heart; and these defile the man.

For from the heart come evil reasonings, murders, adulteries, lewd actions, thefts, false testimonies, impious words.

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were greatly afraid.

But he that 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 chief priest rent his clothes, and said: He has spoken impiously; what further need have we of witnesses? See now, you have heard his impious words:

And again he entered Capernaum, after some days; and they heard that he was in the house.

And when Jesus heard it, he said to them: Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call righteous men, but sinners.

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond the Jordan: and those about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard what things he was doing, came to him.

But as soon as Jesus heard what was spoken, he said to the ruler of the synagogue: Fear not, only believe.

And Herod the king heard of him, for his name had be come known; and he said: John the Immerser has risen from the dead, and for this reason, the powers of the spiritual world are active within him.

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

For Herod himself had sent and taken John, and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip; 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, because he knew him to be a just and holy man; and he kept him in safety. And having heard him, he did many things, and heard him with pleasure.

And a suitable day having come, when Herod, on his birth day, made a supper for his great men, and his chief officers, and the first men of Galilee;

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the purposes which are evil: adulteries, lewd actions, murders,

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

And he charged them, saying: Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

And Jesus perceived it, and said to them: Why do you reason, because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive, nor understand? Is your heart still hardened?

And his disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus, answering again, said to them: Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God!

And when the ten heard it, they began to be displeased with James and John.

And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me!
