Hezekiah fathered Manasseh,
Manasseh fathered Amon,
Amon fathered Josiah,

But I tell you, everyone who looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

But I tell you, everyone who divorces his wife, except in a case of sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

And do not bring us into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
[For Yours is the kingdom and the power
and the glory forever. Amen.]

Just then, a woman who had suffered from bleeding for 12 years approached from behind and touched the tassel on His robe,

But Jesus turned and saw her. “Have courage, daughter,” He said. “Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that moment.

“I assure you: Among those born of women no one greater than John the Baptist has appeared, but the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into 50 pounds of flour until it spread through all of it.”

Now those who ate were about 5,000 men, besides women and children.

Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came and kept crying out, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is cruelly tormented by a demon.”

Then Jesus replied to her, “Woman, your faith is great. Let it be done for you as you want.” And from that moment her daughter was cured.

Now those who ate were 4,000 men, besides women and children.

Then last of all the woman died.

Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days!

Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one left.

a woman approached Him with an alabaster jar of very expensive fragrant oil. She poured it on His head as He was reclining at the table.

But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a noble thing for Me.

I assure you: Wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”

When he had gone out to the gateway, another woman saw him and told those who were there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene!”

Many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and ministered to Him were there, looking on from a distance.

But the angel told the women, “Don’t be afraid, because I know you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.

A woman suffering from bleeding for 12 years

Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came with fear and trembling, fell down before Him, and told Him the whole truth.

Instead, immediately after hearing about Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit came and fell at His feet.

Now the woman was Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth, and she kept asking Him to drive the demon out of her daughter.

So the seven left no offspring. Last of all, the woman died too.

Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days!

While He was in Bethany at the house of Simon who had a serious skin disease, as He was reclining at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of pure and expensive fragrant oil of nard. She broke the jar and poured it on His head.

I assure you: Wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”

There were also women looking on from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome.

When He was in Galilee, they would follow Him and help Him. Many other women had come up with Him to Jerusalem.

And the angel came to her and said, “Rejoice, favored woman! The Lord is with you.”

Then she exclaimed with a loud cry:

“You are the most blessed of women,
and your child will be blessed!

I tell you, among those born of women no one is greater than John, but the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

And a woman in the town who was a sinner found out that Jesus was reclining at the table in the Pharisee’s house. She brought an alabaster jar of fragrant oil

When the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said to himself, “This man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what kind of woman this is who is touching Him—she’s a sinner!”

Turning to the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she, with her tears, has washed My feet and wiped them with her hair.

And He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses: Mary, called Magdalene (seven demons had come out of her);

A woman suffering from bleeding for 12 years, who had spent all she had on doctors yet could not be healed by any,

When the woman saw that she was discovered, she came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she declared the reason she had touched Him and how she was instantly cured.

While they were traveling, He entered a village, and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.

As He was saying these things, a woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “The womb that bore You and the one who nursed You are blessed!”

a woman was there who had been disabled by a spirit for over 18 years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all.

When Jesus saw her, He called out to her, “Woman, you are free of your disability.”

Satan has bound this woman, a daughter of Abraham, for 18 years—shouldn’t she be untied from this bondage on the Sabbath day?”

It’s like yeast that a woman took and mixed into 50 pounds of flour until it spread through the entire mixture.”

“Or what woman who has 10 silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?

When she finds it, she calls her women friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found the silver coin I lost!’

“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and everyone who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.

Two women will be grinding grain together: One will be taken and the other left.

Finally, the woman died too.

In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For all seven had married her.”

Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days, for there will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people.

But he denied it: “Woman, I don’t know Him!”

A large crowd of people followed Him, including women who were mourning and lamenting Him.

But all who knew Him, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

The women who had come with Him from Galilee followed along and observed the tomb and how His body was placed.

So the women were terrified and bowed down to the ground.

“Why are you looking for the living among the dead?” asked the men.

Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them were telling the apostles these things.

But these words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

Moreover, some women from our group astounded us. They arrived early at the tomb,

Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they didn’t see Him.”

“What has this concern of yours to do with Me, woman?” Jesus asked. “My hour has not yet come.”

A woman of Samaria came to draw water.

“Give Me a drink,” Jesus said to her,

“How is it that You, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” she asked Him. For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.

“Sir,” said the woman, “You don’t even have a bucket, and the well is deep. So where do You get this ‘living water’?

“Sir,” the woman said to Him, “give me this water so I won’t get thirsty and come here to draw water.”

“Sir,” the woman replied, “I see that You are a prophet.

Jesus told her, “Believe Me, woman, an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

Just then His disciples arrived, and they were amazed that He was talking with a woman. Yet no one said, “What do You want?” or “Why are You talking with her?”

Then the woman left her water jar, went into town, and told the men,

Now many Samaritans from that town believed in Him because of what the woman said when she testified, “He told me everything I ever did.”

And they told the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this really is the Savior of the world.”

Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, making her stand in the center.

“Teacher,” they said to Him, “this woman was caught in the act of committing adultery.

In the law Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do You say?”

When they heard this, they left one by one, starting with the older men. Only He was left, with the woman in the center.

When Jesus stood up, He said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

When a woman is in labor she has pain because her time has come. But when she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the suffering because of the joy that a person has been born into the world.

When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple He loved standing there, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.”

They said to her, “Woman, why are you crying?”

“Because they’ve taken away my Lord,” she told them, “and I don’t know where they’ve put Him.”

“Woman,” Jesus said to her, “why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”

Supposing He was the gardener, she replied, “Sir, if you’ve removed Him, tell me where you’ve put Him, and I will take Him away.”

All these were continually united in prayer, along with the women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and His brothers.

Believers were added to the Lord in increasing numbers—crowds of both men and women.

Saul, however, was ravaging the church. He would enter house after house, drag off men and women, and put them in prison.

But when they believed Philip, as he preached the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized.

and requested letters from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women who belonged to the Way, he might bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem.

But the Jews incited the prominent women, who worshiped God, and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and expelled them from their district.

Then he went on to Derbe and Lystra, where there was a disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman, but his father was a Greek.

On the Sabbath day we went outside the city gate by the river, where we thought there was a place of prayer. We sat down and spoke to the women gathered there.

A woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God, was listening. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was spoken by Paul.

Then some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, including a great number of God-fearing Greeks, as well as a number of the leading women.

Consequently, many of them believed, including a number of the prominent Greek women as well as men.

However, some men joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and putting both men and women in jail,

They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served something created instead of the Creator, who is praised forever. Amen.

For example, a married woman is legally bound to her husband while he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law regarding the husband.

The ancestors are theirs, and from them, by physical descent, came the Messiah, who is God over all, praised forever. Amen.
