'Heard' in the Bible

[thanking God] for your participation and partnership [both your comforting fellowship and gracious contributions] in [advancing] the good news [regarding salvation] from the first day [you heard it] until now.

For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
