After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she hid herself, saying,

But she was greatly troubled at his saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be.

and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.

And she exclaimed with a loud voice, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord."

As he came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.

And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that Jesus was reclining at the table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of perfume,

and as she stood behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfume.

Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner."

Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.

Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little."

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the people pressed round him.

When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.

But Jesus on hearing this answered him, "Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be well."

And there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; she was bent over and could not straighten up at all.

And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and praised God.

"Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?

And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.'

yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her justice, or she will wear me out by her continual coming.'"

In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife."

for these all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had to live on."
