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

And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. And His disciples were hungry, and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.

So she, having been prompted by her mother, said, “Give me John the Baptist’s head here on a platter.”

And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table.

When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

Then they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head.

And they put up over His head the accusation written against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath

Now it happened that He went through the grainfields on the Sabbath; and as they went His disciples began to pluck the heads of grain.

For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head.

So she went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist!”

Immediately she came in with haste to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”

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

brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.

Again he sent them another servant, and at him they threw stones, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.

And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head.

And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head,

Then they struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshiped Him.

And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days,

Now it happened on the second Sabbath after the first that He went through the grainfields. And His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate them, rubbing them in their hands.

and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil.

Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.

You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil.

And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

But not a hair of your head shall be lost.

Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”

Take them and be purified with them, and pay their expenses so that they may shave their heads, and that all may know that those things of which they were informed concerning you are nothing, but that you yourself also walk orderly and keep the law.

But not long after, a tempestuous head wind arose, called Euroclydon.

So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let her drive.

Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, for this is for your survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you.”

Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

Head Coverings

Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.

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

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.

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

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

Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”

And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,

but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—

For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.

And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.

traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire;

Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads.

The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men.

And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone.

For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.

The Mighty Angel with the Little Book

I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.

The Woman, the Child, and the Dragon

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.

And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.

The Beast from the Sea

Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.

And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.

Reaping the Earth’s Harvest

Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle.

So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

The Meaning of the Woman and the Beast

But the angel said to me, “Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

“Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.

“They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.’

His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.
