The birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came to dwell together, she was found with child by the holy ghost.

She shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus: For he shall save his people from their sins."

and knew her not till she had brought forth her first son: and called his name Jesus.

And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

While he thus spake unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him saying, "My daughter is even now deceased: but come and lay thy hand on her, and she shall live."

For she said in herself, "If I may touch but even his vesture only I shall be safe."

Then Jesus turned him about, and beheld her, saying, "Daughter, be of good comfort, thy faith hath made thee safe." And she was made whole even that same hour.

The queen of the south shall rise at the day of judgment with this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the world, to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

Wherefore he promised with an oath, that he would give her whatsoever she would ask.

And she, being informed of her mother before, said, "Give me here John Baptist's head in a platter."

and his head was brought in a platter, and given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother.

And he gave her never a word to answer. Then came to him his disciples, and besought him saying, "Send her away, for she followeth us crying."

Then she came and worshipped him, saying, "Master, help me."

She answered and said, "It is truth, nevertheless the whelps eat of the crumbs, which fall from their masters' table."

And he said unto her, "What wilt thou have?" She said unto him, "Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand in thy kingdom."

Now in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? For all had her."

that upon you may come all the righteous blood that was shed upon the earth: from the blood of righteous Abel, unto the blood of Zachariah the son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar:

When Jesus understood that, he said unto them, "Why trouble ye the woman? She hath wrought a good work upon me.

And in that she casted this ointment on my body, she did it to bury me, withal.

Verily I say unto you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout all the world, there shall also this that she hath done, be told for a memorial of her."

This is my blood of the new testament, that shall be shed for many, for the forgiveness of sins.
