Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”

John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.

Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?

…a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.

And they twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head. They put a staff in His right hand, knelt down before Him, and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”

At once the girl hurried back to the king with her request: “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”

So without delay, the king commanded that John’s head be brought in. He sent an executioner, who went and beheaded him in the prison.

The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.

Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

While Jesus was in Bethany reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke open the jar and poured it on Jesus’ head.

They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.

And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,

As she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and wipe them with her hair. Then she kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume.

You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?

Yet not even a hair of your head will perish.

When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

“Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not only my feet, but my hands and my head as well!”

The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe.

When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.

The cloth that had been around Jesus’ head was rolled up, lying separate from the linen cloths.

…and she saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and the other at the feet.

This Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’

But when they opposed and insulted him, he shook out his garments and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

Paul remained in Corinth for quite some time before saying goodbye to the brothers. He had his head shaved in Cenchrea to keep a vow he had made, and then he sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila.

Take these men, purify yourself along with them, and pay their expenses so they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know that there is no truth to these rumors about you, but that you also live in obedience to the law.

So for your own preservation, I urge you to eat something, because not a single hair of your head will be lost.”

On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.”

But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.

And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were shaved.

A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

For this reason a woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.

The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you.” Nor can the head say to the feet, “I do not need you.”

Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head.
