HEROD - 1

MAT 2:1  Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of 
Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

2  Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his 
star in the east, and are come to worship him.

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

4  And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people 
together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

5  And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written 
by the prophet,

6  And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the 
princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my 
people Israel.

7  Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them 
diligently what time the star appeared.

8  And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for 
the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I 
may come and worship him also.

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

10  When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

11  And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with 
Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had 
opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and 
frankincense and myrrh.

12  And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to 
Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

13  And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to 
Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, 
and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod 
will seek the young child to destroy him.

14  When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and 
departed into Egypt:

15  And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled 
which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I 
called my son.

16  Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was 
exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in 
Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, 
according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.

17  Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,

18  In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great 
mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, 
because they are not.

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

20  Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the 
land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.

21  And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into 
the land of Israel.

22  But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his 
father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of 
God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:

23  And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be 
fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

                                  HEROD - 2

MAT 14:3  For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in 
prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

4  For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

5  And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, 
because they counted him as a prophet.

6  But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced 
before them, and pleased Herod.

7  Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.

8  And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John 
Baptist's head in a charger.

9  And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which 
sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.

10  And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

11  And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she 
brought it to her mother.

MAR 6:16  But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I 
beheaded: he is risen from the dead.

17  For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him 
in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married 
her.

18  For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy 
brother's wife.

19  Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed 
him; but she could not:

20  For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and 
observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him 
gladly.

21  And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a 
supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;

22  And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and 
pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, 
Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

23  And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it 
thee, unto the half of my kingdom.

24  And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she 
said, The head of John the Baptist.

25  And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, 
saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John 
the Baptist.

26  And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for 
their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.

27  And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to 
be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

28  And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the 
damsel gave it to her mother.

LUK 3:1  Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius 
Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and 
his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, 
and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,

9:7  Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was 
perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the 
dead;

9  And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear 
such things? And he desired to see him.

13:31  The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, 
Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.

32  And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out 
devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be 
perfected.

23:6  When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a 
Galilaean.

7  And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he 
sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

8  And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to 
see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he 
hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

9  Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

10  And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

11  And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and 
arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

12  And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for 
before they were at enmity between themselves.

15  No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of 
death is done unto him.

ACT 4:27  For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast 
anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people 
of Israel, were gathered together,
