Him by the feet

Just then Jesus met them and said, “Good morning!” They came up, took hold of His feet, and worshiped Him.

and stood behind Him at His feet, weeping, and began to wash His feet with her tears. She wiped His feet with the hair of her head, kissing them and anointing them with the fragrant oil.

Thrust

Yet He did not say a word to her. So His disciples approached Him and urged Him, “Send her away because she cries out after us.”

The crowd told them to keep quiet, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”

Some people were bringing little children to Him so He might touch them, but His disciples rebuked them.

Just then His disciples arrived, and they were amazed that He was talking with a woman. Yet no one said, “What do You want?” or “Why are You talking with her?”

Then one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot (who was about to betray Him), said,

Let her alone

Then Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a noble thing for Me.

Vexed

Deeply hurt, Hannah prayed to the Lord and wept with many tears.

I am disgusted with my life.
I will express my complaint
and speak in the bitterness of my soul.

and no outsider shares in its joy.

A man’s spirit can endure sickness,
but who can survive a broken spirit?

Hid it from me

One of his servants said, “No one, my lord the king. Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel even the words you speak in your bedroom.”

Then the Lord said, “Should I hide what I am about to do from Abraham?

So Nathan told the king, “Go and do all that is on your heart, for the Lord is with you.”

Indeed, the Lord God does nothing
without revealing His counsel
to His servants the prophets.

I do not call you slaves anymore, because a slave doesn’t know what his master

is doing. I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have heard from My Father.
