NOW in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene:

Now Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him, on account of Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the other wicked actions which he had done,

NOW there were at Antioch, according to the established church, prophets and teachers; such as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger the black, and Lucius a Cyrenian, and Manaen, Herod the tetrarch's foster-brother, and Saul.

Then Herod the tetrarch heard of all things that were done by him; and he was in much distraction of mind, because it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead:

AT that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report of Jesus,

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

And king Herod heard it (for his name was celebrated), and he said, This is John the Baptist, he is risen from the dead, and therefore miracles are wrought by him.

And he earnestly charged them, saying, Beware, take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

The same day came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Depart, and begone from hence: for Herod will kill thee.

And when he knew that he came out of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself at Jerusalem in those days.

Then Herod with his guards treated him with contempt, and in derision clothed him in a splendid robe, and sent him back to Pilate.


The same day came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Depart, and begone from hence: for Herod will kill thee. And he said to them, Go tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and perform cures today and to-morrow, and on the third day I shall be perfected.

AND it came to pass when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judea beyond Jordan. And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

AND arising, he went from thence into the coasts of Judea, through the country on the other side of the Jordan; and again the multitudes came together unto him; and as his custom was, he again taught them.

And he was teaching in one of the synagogues, on the sabbath. And, behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and unable to raise herself at all up. But when Jesus saw her, he called out aloud, and said to her, Woman, thou art delivered from thine infirmity. read more.
And he laid his hands upon her: and instantly she became erect, and glorified God. Then the ruler of the synagogue, indignant, that on the sabbath Jesus had performed the cure, addressing himself to the multitude, said, There are six days in which work is to be done: on these therefore come and be cured, and not on the sabbath-day. Then the Lord answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not every one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead him to water? And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day? And when he had made this speech, all his opposers were covered with shame: and all the multitude rejoiced in all the glorious things which were done by him. Then said he, To what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I compare it? It is like a grain of mustard, which a man took and put into his garden; and it grew, and became a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged on its branches. And again he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman taking, covered up in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. And he passed through the cities and villages, teaching, and making his way towards Jerusalem. And a person said to him, Lord, are the saved few? And he said unto them, Exert all your powers to enter through the strait gate: for many, I tell you, will seek to enter, but will not be able. When the master of the family shall have arisen, and shut the door, and ye shall begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Master, master, open it for us! and he answering will tell you, I know you not whence ye are: then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. And he will say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom, and yourselves cast out. And they shall come from the east, and west, and from north, and south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. And, behold, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last. The same day came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Depart, and begone from hence: for Herod will kill thee. And he said to them, Go tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and perform cures today and to-morrow, and on the third day I shall be perfected. But I must go on to-day and to-morrow, and the day following: for it is impossible that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. O Jerusalem! Jerusalem! thou that killest the prophets, and stonest those who are sent unto thee; how often would I have collected thy children unto me, just as a hen gathereth her brood under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: verily I say unto you, That ye shall see me no more, till the day come when ye shall say, Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord.

When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilean? And when he knew that he came out of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself at Jerusalem in those days. Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was vastly delighted: for he had been long desirous to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some miracle wrought by him. read more.
And he put a variety of questions to him; but he made him no reply. And the chief priests and the scribes stood up vehemently accusing him. Then Herod with his guards treated him with contempt, and in derision clothed him in a splendid robe, and sent him back to Pilate. And Pilate and Herod the same day became friends together: for they had previously been at enmity with each other. Then Pilate, convoking the chief priests and the rulers and the people, said unto them, Ye have brought this man to me, as one who perverteth the people: and lo! on examining him before you, I have found nothing culpable in this man, respecting the charges ye bring against him: nor Herod neither: for I referred you to him; and, lo, nothing is done to this man, as if he deserved death.
