The birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came to dwell together, she was found with child by the holy ghost.

She shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus: For he shall save his people from their sins."

and knew her not till she had brought forth her first son: and called his name Jesus.

And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

While he thus spake unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him saying, "My daughter is even now deceased: but come and lay thy hand on her, and she shall live."

For she said in herself, "If I may touch but even his vesture only I shall be safe."

Then Jesus turned him about, and beheld her, saying, "Daughter, be of good comfort, thy faith hath made thee safe." And she was made whole even that same hour.

The queen of the south shall rise at the day of judgment with this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the world, to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

Wherefore he promised with an oath, that he would give her whatsoever she would ask.

And she, being informed of her mother before, said, "Give me here John Baptist's head in a platter."

and his head was brought in a platter, and given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother.

And he gave her never a word to answer. Then came to him his disciples, and besought him saying, "Send her away, for she followeth us crying."

Then she came and worshipped him, saying, "Master, help me."

She answered and said, "It is truth, nevertheless the whelps eat of the crumbs, which fall from their masters' table."

And he said unto her, "What wilt thou have?" She said unto him, "Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand in thy kingdom."

Now in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? For all had her."

that upon you may come all the righteous blood that was shed upon the earth: from the blood of righteous Abel, unto the blood of Zachariah the son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar:

When Jesus understood that, he said unto them, "Why trouble ye the woman? She hath wrought a good work upon me.

And in that she casted this ointment on my body, she did it to bury me, withal.

Verily I say unto you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout all the world, there shall also this that she hath done, be told for a memorial of her."

This is my blood of the new testament, that shall be shed for many, for the forgiveness of sins.

And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever forsook her by and by: And she ministered unto them.

and besought him greatly saying, "My daughter lieth at point of death, I would thou wouldst come and lay thy hand on her, that she might be safe and live."

and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and felt none amendment at all: But waxed worse and worse.

When she had heard of Jesus: she came into the press behind him, and touched his garment.

For she thought, "If I may but touch his clothing, I shall be whole."

And straight way her fountain of blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the plague.

The woman feared and trembled, for she knew what was done within her. And she came and fell down before him and told him the truth of everything.

And straight the maiden arose, and went on her feet. For she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished at it out of measure.

Herodias laid wait for him, and would have killed him, but she could not.

And she went forth and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "John Baptist's head."

And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, "I will, that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John Baptist."

The woman was a Greek out of Syrophoenicia, and she besought him that he would cast out the devil out of her daughter.

She answered and said unto him, "Even so, Master. Nevertheless, the whelps also eat under the table of the children's crumbs."

And when she was come home to her house she found the devil departed, and her daughter lying on the bed.

And if a woman forsake her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery."

For they all did cast in of their superfluity: But she of her poverty, did cast in all that she had, even all her living."

When he was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, even as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, called nard, that was pure and costly, and she brake the box and poured it on his head.

And Jesus said, "Let her be in rest. Why trouble ye her? She hath done a good work on me.

She hath done that she could: she came aforehand to anoint my body to his buryingward.

Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be rehearsed in remembrance of her."

And he said unto them, "This is my blood, of the New Testament, which is shed for many.

And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked on him, and said, "Was not thou also with Jesus of Nazareth?"

And she went, and told them that were with him, as they mourned and wept.

When she saw him, she was abashed at his saying: and cast in her mind what manner of salutation that should be.

And behold, thy cousin Elizabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age. And this is her sixth month, though she be called barren,

Elizabeth's time was come that she should be delivered; And she brought forth a son.

And it fortuned while they were there, her time was come that she should be delivered.

And she brought forth her first begotten son. And wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them within, in the inn.

And she had been a widow about four score and four years of age, which went never out of the temple, but served God there with fasting and prayer night and day.

When he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, which was the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and much people of the city was with her.

And behold a woman in that city, which was a sinner, as soon as she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster box of ointment,

and she stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with ointment.

When the Pharisee which bade him to his house, saw that, he spake within himself, saying, "If this man were a prophet, he would surely have known who and what manner woman this is which toucheth him, for she is a sinner."

And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, "Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, and thou gavest me no water to my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

Mine head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment.

Wherefore I say unto thee, Many sins are forgiven her, for she loved much. To whom less is forgiven, the same doeth less love."

for he had but a daughter only, upon a twelfth year of age, and she lay a dying. And as he went, the people thronged him.

When the woman saw that she was not hid from him, she came trembling, and fell at his feet, and told him before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

When Jesus heard that, he answered to the maiden's father, saying, "Fear not. Believe only, and she shall be made whole."

Everybody wept and sorrowed for her. And he said, "Weep not: for she is not dead, but sleepeth."

And they laughed him to scorn. For they knew that she was dead.

And her spirit came again, and she rose straightway. And he commanded to give her meat.

That the blood of all prophets, which was shed from the beginning of the world, may be required of this generation,

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

Either, what woman having ten groats, if she lose one, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently, till she find it?

And when she hath found it she calleth her lovers, and her neighbours saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the groat which I had lost.'

yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her: lest at the last she come, and hag on me.'"

Now at the resurrection whose wife of them shall she be? for seven had her to wife."

For they all have of their superfluity added unto the offering of God: But she, of her penury, hath cast in all the substance that she had."

Likewise also, when they had supped, he took the cup saying, "This cup is the new testament, in my blood, which shall for you be shed.

She said, "No man, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn thee. Go hence and sin no more."

Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him. But Mary sat still in the house.

She said unto him, "Yea Lord: I believe that thou art Christ, the son of God, which should come into the world."

And as soon as she had so said she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, "The master is come and calleth for thee."

And she, as soon as she heard that, arose quickly, and came unto him.

The Jews then, which were with her in the house and comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose up hastily, and went out: followed her, saying, "She goeth unto the grave, to weep there."

Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, "Lord if thou hadst been here, my brother had not been dead."

Then said Jesus, "Let her alone, against the day of my burying she kept it.

A woman when she travaileth hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

Then she ran, and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said unto them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb and we cannot tell where they have laid him."

Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: And as she wept, she bowed herself into the sepulchre

And they said unto her, "Woman why weepest thou?" She said unto them, "For they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him."

When she had thus said, she turned herself back and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

Jesus said unto her, "Woman why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?" She, supposing that he had been the gardener, said unto him, "Sir if thou have borne him hence tell me where thou hast laid him, that I may fetch him."

Jesus said unto her, "Mary." She turned herself, and said unto 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 such things unto her.

And Peter said unto her, "Tell me, gave ye the land for so much?" And she said, "Yea, for so much."

Then she fell down straightway at his feet and yielded up the ghost. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carried her out and buried her by her husband.

There was at Joppa a certain woman, which was a disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: the same was full of good works and alms deeds, which she did.

Peter arose and came with them: And when he was come, they brought him into the chamber, and all the widows stood round about him weeping and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made while she was with them.
