Remember how He spake to you, being yet in Galilee, saying, "The Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again," And they remembered His words; and, returning from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

Now a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a learned man, came down to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the Scriptures.

But every woman, praying or prophesying with her head unveiled, dishonors her head; for it is one and the same, as if she were shaven. For, if a woman is unveiled, let her also be shaven; but, if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled. For a man, indeed, ought not to veil his head; being God's image and glory; but the woman is man's glory;read more.
for man is not from woman, but woman from man; for man was also not created on account of the woman, but woman on account of the man; for this cause ought the woman to have a sign of authority on her head because of the angels. Nevertheless, neither is woman apart from man, nor man apart from woman, in the Lord. For, as the woman is of the man, so also is the man through the woman; but all things are of God. Judge ye in yourselves; is it becoming that a woman, unveiled, should pray to God? Does not even nature herself teach, that, if a man have long hair, it is a dishonor to him? But, if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering. But, if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.

for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

But she was troubled at the saying, and was deliberating as to what kind of salutation this might be. And the angel said to her, "Fear not, Mary; for you found favor from God. And, behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and shall bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to Him the throne of His father David; and He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of His Kingdom there shall be no end." And Mary said to the angel, "How shall this be, since I know not a man?" And the angel, answering, said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; wherefore also the Holy Thing that is begotten shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, Elizabeth, your kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren; because no word from God shall be without power." And Mary said, "Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; may it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her. And Mary, arising in those days, went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah; and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth. And it came to pass that, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit: and she lifted up her voice, with a loud cry, and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me! For, behold, as the voice of your salutation came into my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy! And happy is she who believed, because there shall be a fulfillment of the things spoken to her from the Lord!" And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord; and my spirit exulted in God my Saviour; because He looked upon the lowliness of His handmaid; for, behold, from the present time all generations will call me happy; because the Mighty One did great things for me; and Holy is His name! And His mercy is unto generations and generations to those who fear Him. He wrought might with His arm; He scattered men proud in the imagination of their heart. He deposed potentates from thrones, and exalted the lowly. The hungry He filled with good things, and the rich He sent away empty. He succored Israel His servant, to remember mercy, (as He spake to our fathers), to Abraham and to his seed forever." And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her house.

But younger widows refuse; for, when they grow wanton against Christ, they wish to marry, having condemnation, because they set aside their first faith. And, at the same time, they learn to be idle, going around from house to house, and not only idle, but tattlers also and busy-bodies, speaking things which they ought not.read more.
I desire, therefore, that younger widows marry, bear children, rule a house-hold, give no occasion to the adversary for reproach; for already some turned aside after Satan. If any believing woman has widows, let her relieve them, and let not the assembly be burdened, in order that it may relieve those who are really widows.

And, behold, a woman, having a flow of blood twelve years, having come up behind Him, touched the border of His garment; for she was saying within herself, "If I only touch His garment, I shall be made well."

In like manner, ye wives, be subject to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they may, without the word, be gained through the conduct of their wives, having beheld your chaste conduct mingled with fear: whose adorning, let it not be the outward one of braiding of hair and of wearing of golden ornaments, or of putting on apparel;read more.
but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible apparel of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price. For thus, in former times, the holy women also, who hoped in God, were wont to adorn themselves, submitting themselves to their own husbands; as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, of whom ye became children; if ye do good, and fear no alarm.

And a woman, having a flow of blood twelve years, and having suffered many things under many physicians, and having spent all that she had, and having been profited nothing, but rather coming into the worse state, having heard the things concerning Jesus, coming in the crowd behind, touched His garment.read more.
For she said, "If I touch even His garments, I shall be healed." And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was cured of the plague. And straight-way Jesus, perceiving in Himself that power had gone forth from Him, turning about in the crowd, said, "Who touched Me?" And His disciples said to Him, "Thou seest the multitude thronging Thee, and sayest Thou, 'Who touched Me?'" And He was looking around to see her who did this.

But, if any widow has children or grand-children, let them learn first to show regard to their own family, and to make returns to their parents; for this is acceptable before God. Now she that is really a widow, and left alone, has set her hope on God, and continues in supplications and prayers, night and day. But she who lives in pleasure, though living, has died. And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless. But, if any one provides not for his own, and especially for his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. Let a widow be enrolled, when she has become not less than sixty years old, having been a wife of one man, noted for good works; if she nourished children, if she used hospitality, if she washed the saints' feet, if she relieved those in tribulation, if she diligently followed every good work.

But He answered her not a word. And His disciples, coming near, were beseeching Him, saying, "Send her away; for she is crying after us!"read more.
But He, answering, said, "I was not sent, except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." But she, coming, was worshiping Him, saying, "Lord, help me!" And He, answering, said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to the little dogs." But she said, "Yes, Lord; for even the little dogs eat of the crumbs falling from the master's table." Then Jesus, answering, said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! be it done to you as you wish." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with them according to knowledge, assigning honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end that your prayers be not hindered.

And she kept asking Him to cast forth the demon out of her daughter.read more.
And He said to her, "Suffer the children first to be satisfied; for it is not good to take the children's bread, and cast it to the little dogs."

And He said to her, "Because of this word go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter." And, going away into her own house, she found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.

And, haring taken a seat over against the treasury, He was beholding how the multitude cast money into the treasury; and many who were rich cast in much. And one poor widow, coming, cast in two mites, which is a farthing. And, calling to Him His disciples, He said to them, "Verily I say to you, this poor widow cast in more than all who are casting into the treasury;read more.
for they all did cast in out of their abundance; but she out of her want cast in all that she had??er whole living."

For the married woman has been bound by law to the living husband; but, if the husband dies, she is loosed from the law of the husband.

Speak to her, therefore, that she assist me!"read more.

Jesus answered and said to her, "Every one who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whosoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up into eternal life."

The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus saith to her, "Well did you say, 'I have no husband;' for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband: this you have said truly." The woman says to Him, "Sir, I perceive that Thou art a Prophet. Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." Jesus saith to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when ye will, neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what; we know what we worship, because salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for, indeed, the Father seeketh such to be His worshipers. God is a spirit; and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." The woman says to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming, Who is called Christ; when He cometh, He will tell us all things." Jesus saith to her, "I who speak to you am He."

Jesus saith to her, "Your brother shall rise again." Martha says to Him, "I know that he will rise again, in the resurrection at the last day."

She says to Him, "Yea, Lord; I have believed that Thou art the Christ, the Son of God, He Who was to come into the world." And, saying this, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, "The Teacher is present, and calleth for you." And she, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went to Him.

They say to Him, "Lord, come and see." Jesus wept. The Jews, therefore, said, "Behold, how He was loving him! And some of them said, "Could not This Man, Who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not die?" Jesus, therefore, again groaning in Himself, cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying on it. Jesus saith, "Take ye away the stone." The sister of the deceased, Martha, says to Him, "Lord, already he is decaying; for he has been dead four days." Jesus saith to her, "Did I not say to you that, if you would believe, you should see the glory of God?" So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up His eyes, and said, "Father, I thank Thee, because Thou didst hear Me. And I knew that Thou always hearest Me; but, because of the multitude standing around, I said it, that they may believe that Thou didst send Me." And, having spoken these words, He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!" He that was dead came forth, bound feet and hands with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, "Loose him, and let him go."

Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as it was fitting in the Lord.

And it came to pass, as we were on our way to the place of prayer, that a certain damsel, having a spirit of divination, met us; who, indeed, was bringing to her masters much gain by sooth-saying. The same, following after Paul and us, kept crying, saying, "These men are servants of the Most High God; who, indeed, declare to you a way of salvation." And this she was doing for many days.
