Now the birth of Christ Jesus occurred under these conditions: After His mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, but before they had lived together, she was found to be an expectant mother through the influence of the Holy Spirit.

But just as this thought occurred to him, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said, "Joseph, descendant of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for it is through the influence of the Holy Spirit that she has become an expectant mother.

And she will have a son, and you must name Him Jesus, for it is He who is to save His people from their sins."

but he did not live with her as a husband until she had had a son; and he named Him Jesus.

"A sob was heard in Ramah, weeping and great wailing, Rachel weeping for her children, and she refused to be comforted, because they were gone."

He touched her hand, the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on Him.

And just as He was saying these things to them, an official came up and fell on his knees before Him, and said, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand upon her and she will come to life."

For she kept saying to herself, "If I can only touch His coat, I will get well."

The queen of the south will rise with the leaders of this age at the judgment and condemn them, for she came from the farthest limits of the earth to listen to Solomon's wisdom, and there is more than Solomon here!

and so passionately promised to give her anything she might ask for.

And she, prompted by her mother, said, "Give me John the Baptist's head right here on a platter."

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

But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came up and kept begging Him, "Send her away, for she keeps on screaming after us."

But she came and bowed to Him, and kept praying, "Lord, help me!"

She said, "Yes, Lord, and yet the house dogs usually eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table."

And He asked her, "What do you want?" She answered Him, "Give orders that these two sons of mine may sit one at your right and one at your left in your kingdom."

Now at the resurrection which one's wife, of the seven, will she be? For they all married her."

so that on you will come all the righteous blood shed on the earth from the blood of upright Abel to the blood of Zechariah, Barachiah's son, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.

"And immediately after the misery of those days, the sun will turn dark, the moon will not shed its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the sky will be shaken.

But Jesus, because He understood them, said to them, "Why do you embarrass the woman? She has done a good deed to me,

For in putting this perfume on my body she has done it to prepare me for my burial.

I solemnly say to you, all over the world wherever this good news is proclaimed, the good deed that she has done will be told, in memory of her."
