And listen! Elizabeth, your relative, has herself conceived a son in her old age, this woman who was rumored to be barren is in her sixth month.

and she loudly exclaimed, "How blessed are you among women, and how blessed is the infant in your womb!

How blessed is this woman for believing that what was spoken to her by the Lord would be fulfilled!"

There was a woman who was a notorious sinner in that city. When she learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's home, she took an alabaster jar of perfume

Now the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this and told himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would have known who is touching him and what kind of woman she is. She's a sinner!"

Then, turning to the woman, he told Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You didn't give me any water for my feet, but this woman has washed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair.

You didn't give me a kiss, but this woman, from the moment I came in, has not stopped kissing my feet.

You didn't anoint my head with oil, but this woman has anointed my feet with perfume.

But Jesus told the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."

as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and illnesses: Mary, also called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;

Joanna, the wife of Herod's household manager Chuza; Susanna; and many others. These women continued to support them out of their personal resources.

A woman was there who had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years. Although she had spent all she had on doctors, no one could heal her.

When the woman saw that she couldn't hide, she came forward trembling. Bowing down in front of him, she explained in the presence of all the people why she had touched Jesus and how she had been instantly healed.

Now as they were traveling along, Jesus went into a village. A woman named Martha welcomed him into her home.

As Jesus was saying this, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and told him, "How blessed is the womb that gave birth to you and the breasts that nursed you!"

A woman was there who had a spirit that had disabled her for eighteen years. She was hunched over and completely unable to stand up straight.

When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said, "Woman, you are free from your illness."

Shouldn't this woman, a descendant of Abraham whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free from this bondage on the Sabbath day?"

It's like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened."

"Or suppose a woman has ten coins and loses one of them. She lights a lamp, sweeps the house, and searches carefully until she finds it, doesn't she?

Any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery."

Two women will be grinding grain together. The one will be taken, and the other will be left behind."

Finally, the woman died, too.

Now in the resurrection, whose wife will the woman be, since the seven had married her?"

"How terrible it will be for those women who are pregnant or who are nursing babies in those days! because there will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people.

But he denied it, "I don't know him, woman!" he responded.

A large crowd of people followed him, including some women who kept mourning and wailing for him.

But Jesus turned to them and said, "Women of Jerusalem, stop crying for me. Instead, cry for yourselves and for your children,

because the time is surely coming when people will say, "How blessed are the women who couldn't bear children and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!'

But all his acquaintances, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, were standing at a distance watching these things.

So the women who had come with Jesus from Galilee, following close behind, saw the tomb and how his body was laid.

While the women remained terrified, bowing their faces to the ground, the men asked them, "Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is living?

Then the women remembered Jesus' words.

The women who told the apostles about it were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and some others.

Even some of our women have startled us by what they told us. They were at the tomb early this morning

Then some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said. However, they didn't see him."
