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

But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be.

She called out with a loud voice, and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord."

Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she brought forth a son.

It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she should give birth.

She brought forth her firstborn son, and she wrapped him in bands of cloth, and placed him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.

There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,

He stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them.

Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, just then a man who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.

And suddenly, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment.

Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner."

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

You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.

You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.

Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little."

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

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

But Jesus hearing it, answered him, "Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed."

All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, "Do not weep. She is not dead, but sleeping."

They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.

Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.

She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the Lord's feet, and heard his word.

But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me."

The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and look, one greater than Solomon is here.

And just then there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself up.

He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight, and glorified God.

Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, would not light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?

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

A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, 'Give me justice against my adversary.'

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

Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife."
