blessed art thou among women! and when she saw him, she was confused at what he said, and pondered in her mind what sort of salutation this could be.

and she cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb:

and blessed is she that believed; for there shall be a performance of the things that were told her from the Lord.

Now when Elisabeth's time for her delivery was fully come, she brought forth a son:

and she brought forth her son, the first-born, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

And He charged him to tell no one: but go, said He, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

Whosoever cometh unto me, and heareth my instructions, and observeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:

and as He came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carrying out to be buried, his mother's only son, and she was a widow: and many of the people of the city were with her.

And behold a woman in the city, that was a sinner, when she knew that He was at table in the pharisee's house,

But when the pharisee that invited Him saw it, he said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what sort of a woman this is that toucheth Him; for she is a notorious sinner.

and turning to the woman, He said to Simon, Dost thou see this woman? I came into thine house, and thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she has bathed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

Thou gavest me not the respect of a kiss; but this woman, ever since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

Thou didst not anoint my head with common oil, but she hath anointed even my feet with sweet ointment.

Wherefore, I tell thee, her sins though many are forgiven, for she loved much: but he to whom little is forgiven, loveth but little.

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. (But as He was going, the people crouded Him:

And when the woman saw that she was not concealed, she came trembling, and fell down to Him, and declared before all the people, for what reason she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately.

But Jesus hearing it, answered saying, Fear not, only believe, and she shall be recovered.

And they were all weeping and bewailing her: but He said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.

And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

And her spirit returned, and immediately she stood up: and He ordered something to be given her to eat.

And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the feet of Jesus, attending to his discourse.

But Martha, being perplexed about much serving, came to Him and said, Lord, dost thou not regard it, that my sister has left me to serve alone? speak to her therefore that she may help me.

The queen of the south shall rise up in the day of judgement against the men of this generation and condemn them: for she came from the remote parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold a greater than Solomon is here.

that the blood of all the prophets which has been shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah,

But I will shew you whom ye should fear,---Fear Him, who after He hath killed, hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, fear Him.

And He laid his hands upon her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and search carefully till she find it?

and when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and neighbors together; saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I had lost.

And when He saw them, He said unto them, Go and shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass as they were going, they were cleansed.

And He spake also a parable to them, to shew that men ought always to pray, and not to faint:

nor regard man, yet because this widow gives me trouble, I will do her justice, least by continually coming she weary me out.

Shew me a penny: whose image and inscription hath it? and they answered, Cesar's.

Therefore at the resurrection whose wife is she? for all the seven had her to wife.

who devour widows houses, and for a shew of religion make long prayers: these shall receive a heavier sentence.

For all these have out of their abundance contributed to the offerings of God: but she out of her penury hath given all she had.

And he will shew you a large upper room set out; there make it ready.

as also the cup after supper, saying, This cup represents the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you.
