'Head' in the Bible

Nor should you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.

But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face,

It is enough for a disciple to be like his teacher and a slave to be like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they do the same to those of his household!"

Indeed, even the hairs on your head have all been counted!

Then they spit on him and took the stick and hit him repeatedly on his head.

Above his head they placed the charge against him. It read, "This is Jesus, the king of the Jews."

So she went out and asked her mother, "What should I ask for?" Her mother replied, "The head of John the Baptist."

Immediately the girl hurried back to the king with her request, "I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

They kept hitting him on the head with a stick, spitting on him, kneeling in front of him, and worshiping him.

You didn't anoint my head with oil, but this woman has anointed my feet with perfume.

Why, even all the hairs on your head have been counted! Stop being afraid. You are worth more than a bunch of sparrows."

And yet not a hair on your head will be lost.

Simon Peter told him, "Lord, not just my feet, but my hands and my head as well!"

Now I want you to realize that the Messiah is the head of every man, and man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of the Messiah.

Every man who prays or prophesies with something on his head dishonors his head,

and every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, which is the same as having her head shaved.

So if a woman does not cover her head, she should cut off her hair. If it is a disgrace for a woman to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her own head.

A man should not cover his head, because he exists as God's image and glory. But the woman is man's glory.

This is why a woman should have authority over her own head: because of the angels.

Decide for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you," or the head to the feet, "I don't need you."

God has put everything under the Messiah's feet and has made him the head of everything for the good of the church,

Instead, by speaking the truth in love, we will grow up completely and become one with the head, that is, one with the Messiah,

For the husband is the head of his wife as the Messiah is the head of the church. It is he who is the Savior of the body.

He is also the head of the body, which is the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he himself might have first place in everything.

And you have been filled by him, who is the head of every ruler and authority.

He does not hold on to the head, from whom the whole body, which is nourished and held together by its joints and ligaments, grows as God enables it.

Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep a clear head, and set your hope completely on the grace to be given you when Jesus, the Messiah, is revealed.

His head and his hair were white like wool, in fact, as white as snow. His eyes were like flames of fire,

Then I saw another powerful angel come down from heaven. He was dressed in a cloud, and there was a rainbow over his head. His face was like the sun, and his legs were like columns of fire.

A spectacular sign appeared in the sky: a woman dressed with the sun, who had the moon under her feet and a victor's crown of twelve stars on her head.

Then I looked, and there was a white cloud! On the cloud sat someone who was like the Son of Man, with a gold victor's crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.

His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many royal crowns. He has a name written on him that nobody knows except himself.
