And she, being instructed before by her mother, said, Give me John the Baptist's head here on a platter.

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

But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and begged Him, saying, Send her away, for she cries after us.

Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, Lord, help me!

And she said, True, O Lord; but even the little dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' tables.

And He said to her, What do you desire? She said to Him, Grant that these my two sons may sit in Your kingdom, the one on Your right hand and the other on the left.

Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be, of the seven? For they all had her.

so that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Berachiah, whom you killed between the temple and the altar.

When Jesus understood it, He said to them, Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work on Me.

For in putting ointment on My body, she did it for My burial.

For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

And He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up. And instantly the fever left her, and she served them.

And he begged Him greatly, saying, My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come, lay Your hands on her, so that she may be healed, and she shall live.

The woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by race. And she begged Him that He would cast the demon out of her daughter.

And she answered and said to Him, Yes, Lord, yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

And when she had come to her house, she found the demon had gone out, and her daughter lay on the couch.

And if a woman shall put away her husband and marries to another, she commits adultery.

In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.

And a certain poor widow came, and she threw in two lepta, which is a kodrantes.

For all cast in from their abundance. But she, out of her poverty, has cast in all that she had, all her livelihood.

And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as He reclined, a woman came with an alabaster vial of pure, costly ointment of spikenard. And she broke the vial and poured it on His head.

And Jesus said, Let her alone! Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work towards Me.

She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for the burying.

Truly I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be proclaimed in all the world, this also that she has done will be spoken of for a memorial of her.

And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked on him and said, And you also were with Jesus the Nazarene.

And she entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.

And blessed is she who believes, for there shall be a perfecting of those things which were told her from the Lord.

And drawing near the gate of the city, even behold, one having died was being carried out, an only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a considerable crowd of the city was with her.

And she stood behind Him, weeping at His feet, and she began to wash His feet with tears and wipe them with the hair of her head. And she ardently kissed His feet and anointed them with the ointment.

But seeing this, the Pharisee who had invited Him, spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, for she is a sinner.

And He turned to the woman and said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, yet you gave Me no water for My feet. But she has washed My feet with tears, and has wiped them with the hair of her head.

For he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. But as He went, the people thronged Him.

And seeing that she was not hidden, the woman came trembling. And falling down before Him, she declared to Him before all the people why she had touched Him, and how she was instantly healed.

But when Jesus heard, He answered Him, saying, Do not fear, only believe and she shall be healed.

And all were weeping and bewailing her. But He said, Do not weep; she has not died, but sleeps.

And they ridiculed, knowing that she was dead.

And her spirit came again, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that food be given her to eat.

And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word.

But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she came to Him and said, Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.

The queen of the south shall rise up in the Judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them. For she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, One greater than Solomon is here.

And a widow was in that city. And she came to Him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.

yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, that she not wear me down in the end.

Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be? For the seven had her as a wife.

For all these have cast in to the offerings of God from their abundance, but out of her poverty she has cast in all the living she had.

And she said, No one, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I give judgment. Go, and sin no more.

Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she met Him. But Mary was sitting in the house.

She said to Him, Yes, Lord, I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who has come into the world.

And saying these things, she went away and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher has come and calls you.

As soon as she heard, she arose quickly and came to him.

Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw that Mary rose up hastily and went out, they followed her, saying, She is going to the tomb to weep there.

Then Jesus said, Let her alone. She has kept this for the day of My burial.

The woman has grief when she bears, because her hour has come. But when she brings forth the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, because of the joy that a man is born into the world.

The first of the sabbaths Mary Magdalene came early to the tomb, darkness still being on it, and she saw the stone taken away from the tomb.

Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.

But Mary stood outside of the tomb, weeping. And as she wept, she stooped down into the tomb.

And she saw two angels in white sitting there, the one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

And they said to her, Woman, why do you weep? She said to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.

And when she had said this, she turned backward and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

Jesus said to her, Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek? Supposing Him to be the gardener, she said to Him, Sir, if you have carried Him away from here, tell me where you have laid Him and I will take Him away.

Jesus said to her, Mary! She turned herself and said to Him, Rabboni! (which is to say, Master!)

Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that He had spoken these things to her.

And Peter answered her, Tell me whether you sold the land for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much.

And in Joppa was a certain disciple named Tabitha (which translated is called Dorcas). She was full of good works and kind deeds which she did.

And it happened in those days, becoming sick, she died. And washing her, they laid her in an upper room.

And rising up, Peter went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. And all the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made while she was with them.

And putting them all out, Peter knelt down and prayed. And turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise! And she opened her eyes. And when she saw Peter, she sat up.

And when she knew Peter's voice, she did not open the porch because of gladness, but running in she reported Peter was standing before the porch.

And they said to her, You are mad. But she kept on saying that it was so. And they said, It is his angel.
