Heard

What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.

When one of those reclining with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”

Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.

Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”

When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.

He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”

“Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard it for ourselves from His own lips.”

When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle.

And when the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.

Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus.

He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.

They said to the woman, “We now believe not only because of your words; we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man truly is the Savior of the world.”

When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.

And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,

It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from Him comes to Me—

When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about Jesus, they and the chief priests sent officers to arrest Him.

When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there.

“I have much to say about you and much to judge. But the One who sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell the world.”

I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”

But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.

Never before has anyone heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind.

When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard this, and they asked Him, “Are we blind too?”

When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet Him, but Mary stayed at home.

And when Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Him.

So they took away the stone. Then Jesus lifted His eyes upward and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

The next day the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.

That is also why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.

The crowd standing there heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.

The crowd replied, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ will remain forever. So how can You say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”

You heard Me say, ‘I am going away, and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.

Why are you asking Me? Ask those who heard My message. Surely they know what I said.”

When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,

When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat on the judgment seat at a place called the Stone Pavement, which in Hebrew is Gabbatha.

Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it) and jumped into the sea.

And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss.

And when this sound rang out, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking his own language.

When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

But many who heard the message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand.

For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

When the believers heard this, they lifted up their voices to God with one accord. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “You made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them.

On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great fear came over all who heard what had happened.

And great fear came over the whole church and all who heard about these events.

When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening.

When the Council members heard this, they were enraged, and they resolved to put the apostles to death.

Then they prompted some men to say, “We heard Stephen speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.”

For we have heard him say that Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”

When Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers on their first visit.

I have indeed seen the oppression of My people in Egypt. I have heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you back to Egypt.’

When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them.

So Philip ran up and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.

He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”

The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless. They heard the voice but did not see anyone.

All who heard him were astounded and asked, “Isn’t this the man who wreaked havoc in Jerusalem on those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”

…and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your gifts to the poor have been remembered before God.

While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard his message.

For they heard them speaking in tongues and exalting God. Then Peter said,

The apostles and brothers throughout Judea soon heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter, kill and eat.’

When they heard this, they had no further objections, and they glorified God, saying, “So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life.”

When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.

When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some began to mock him, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this topic.”

Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his whole household believed in the Lord. And many of the Corinthians who heard the message believed and were baptized.

And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

…and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?” “No,” they answered, “we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

This continued for two years, so that everyone who lived in the province of Asia, Jews and Greeks alike, heard the word of the Lord.

When the men heard this, they were enraged and began shouting, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

When we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.

When they heard this, they glorified God. Then they said to Paul, “You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law.

When they heard him speak to them in Hebrew, they became even more quiet. Then Paul declared,

I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?’

You will be His witness to everyone of what you have seen and heard.

But when the son of Paul’s sister heard about the plot, he went into the barracks and told Paul.

We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice say to me in Hebrew, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’

The brothers there had heard about us and traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. When Paul saw them, he was encouraged and gave thanks to God.

How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?

Rather, as it is written: “Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”

Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil.

Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”

For He says: “In the time of favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the time of favor; now is the day of salvation!

…was caught up to Paradise. The things he heard were inexpressible, things that man is not permitted to tell.

For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.

They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”

And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth—the gospel of your salvation—you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

Surely you have heard about the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you,

Surely you heard of Him and were taught in Him—in keeping with the truth that is in Jesus—

For he has been longing for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill.

Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

…because we have heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all the saints—

…the faith and love proceeding from the hope stored up for you in heaven, of which you have already heard in the word of truth, the gospel

…that has come to you. All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood the grace of God.

For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

…if indeed you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope of the gospel you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

And we continually thank God because, when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God, which is also now at work in you who believe.

Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
