Mt 2:1    Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold,
there came wise men(22) from the east to Jerusalem,  
Mt 2:7    Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men(22), enquired of them diligently what
time the star appeared.  
Mt 2:16    Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men(22), 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(22).  
Mt 12:23    And all the people were amazed(23), and said, Is not this the son of David?  

Mr 2:12    And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that
they were all amazed(23), and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.  
Mr 3:21    And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is
beside himself(23).

amazed(23) in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.

false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:  
Ac 13:8    But Elymas the sorcerer(22) (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking
to turn away the deputy from the faith.  
Ac 16:16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of
divination(27) met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying(28):  

Ga 3:1    O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched(29) you, that ye should not obey the truth, before
whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?  
Ga 5:20    Idolatry, witchcraft(20), hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,  

Re 9:21    Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries(20), nor of their fornication,
nor of their thefts.  
Re 18:23    And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the
bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great
men of the earth; for by thy sorceries(20) were all nations deceived.  
Re 21:8    But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers,
and sorcerers(21), and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with
fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
