Hezekiah of Manasseh, Manasseh of Ammon, Ammon of Josiah,

I, however, say to you that any one who looks at a woman with an impure intention has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

But meanwhile a woman, who had been suffering from hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind and touched the tassel of his cloak.

Turning and seeing her, Jesus said: "Courage, Daughter! your faith has delivered you." And the woman was delivered from her malady from that very hour.

I tell you, no one born of a woman has yet appeared who is greater than John the Baptist; and yet the lowliest in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.

This was another parable which Jesus related-- "The Kingdom of Heaven is like some yeast which a woman took and covered up in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen."

The men who ate were about five thousand in number, without counting women and children.

There, a Canaanite woman of that district came out and began calling to Jesus: "Take pity on me, Master, Son of David; my daughter is grievously possessed by a demon."

But the woman came, and, bowing to the ground before him, said: "Master, help me."

"Your faith is great," was his reply to the woman; "it shall be as you wish!" And her daughter was cured that very hour.

The men who ate were four thousand in number without counting women and children.

But I tell you that any one who divorces his wife, except on the ground of her unchastity, and marries another woman, is guilty of adultery."

The woman herself died last of all.

And alas for the women that are with child, and for those that are nursing infants in those days!

Of two women grinding with the hand-mill one will be taken and one left.

a woman came up to him with an alabaster jar of very costly perfume, and poured the perfume upon his head as he was at table.

"Why are you troubling the woman?" Jesus said, when he noticed it. "For this is a beautiful deed that she has done to me.

I tell you, wherever, in the whole world, this Good News is proclaimed, what this woman has done will be told in memory of her."

There were many women there, watching from a distance, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee and had been attending on him.

But the angel, addressing the women, said; "You need not be afraid. I now that it is Jesus, who was crucified, for whom you are looking.

Suddenly Jesus met them. "Welcome!" he said. The women went up to him, and clasped his feet, bowing to the ground before him. Then Jesus said to them:

Meanwhile a woman who for twelve years had suffered from hemorrhage,

Then the woman, in fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and threw herself down before him, and told him the whole truth.

For a woman, whose little daughter had a foul spirit in her, heard of him immediately, and came and threw herself at his feet--

The woman was a foreigner, a native of Syrian Phoenicia--and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter.

The woman went home, and found the child lying on her bed, and the demon gone.

And he said: "Any one who divorces his wife and marries another woman is guilty of adultery against his wife;

And, if the woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she is guilty of adultery."

All the seven died and left no family. The woman herself died last of all.

And alas for the women that are with child, and for those that are nursing infants in those days!

When Jesus was still at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, while he was at table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of choice spikenard perfume of great value. She broke the jar, and poured the perfume on his head.

And I tell you, wherever, in the whole world, the Good News is proclaimed, what this woman has done will be told in memory of her."

There were some women also watching from a distance, among them being Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James the Little and of Joseph, and Salome--

All of whom used to accompany Jesus when he was in Galilee, and attend on him--besides many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem.

And cried aloud: "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is your unborn child!

There is, I tell you, no one born of a woman who is greater than John; and yet the lowliest in the Kingdom of God is greater than he."

Just then a woman, who was an outcast in the town, having ascertained that Jesus was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster jar of perfume,

When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself: "Had this man been 'The Prophet,' he would have known who, and what sort of woman, this is who is touching him, and that she is an outcast."

And then, turning to the woman, he said to Simon: "Do you see this woman? I came into your house--you gave me no water for my feet, but she has made my feet wet with her tears and dried them with her hair.

Then he said to the woman: "Your sins have been pardoned."

But Jesus said to the woman: "Your faith has delivered you; go, and peace be with you."

As well as some women who had been cured of wicked spirits and of infirmities. They were Mary, known as Mary of Magdala (from whom seven demons had been expelled),

And a woman, who had suffered from hemorrhage for twelve years, and whom no one could cure,

Then the woman, when she saw that she was discovered, came forward trembling, and threw herself down before him; and, in the presence of all the people, she told him her reason for touching him, and that she had been cured instantly.

As they continued their journey, Jesus came to a village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him to her house.

As Jesus was saying this, a woman in the crowd, raising her voice, exclaimed: "Happy was the mother who bore you and nursed you!"

And he saw before him a woman who for eighteen years had suffered from weakness owing to her having an evil spirit in her. She was bent double, and was wholly unable to raise herself.

When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said: "Woman, you are released from your weakness."

But this woman, a daughter of Abraham, who has been kept in bondage by Satan for now eighteen years, ought not she to have been released from her bondage on the Sabbath?"

It is like some yeast which a woman took and covered in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen."

Or again, what woman who has ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?

Every one who divorces his wife and marries another woman is an adulterer, and the man who marries a divorced woman is an adulterer.

Of two women grinding together, one will be taken and the other left."

The woman herself was the last to die.

About the woman, then--at the resurrection, whose wife is she to be, all seven brothers having had her as their wife?"

"The men and women of this world," said Jesus, "marry and are given in marriage;

Alas for the women that are with child, and for those that are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great suffering in the land, and anger against this people.

There was a great crowd of people following him, many being women who were beating their breasts and wailing for him.

So Jesus turned and said to them: "Women of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

A time, I tell you, is coming, when it will be said--'Happy are the women who are barren, and those who have never borne children or nursed them!'

All the friends of Jesus had been standing at a distance, with the women who accompanied him from Galilee, watching all this.

The women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how the body of Jesus was laid,

But, when in their fear the women bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them: "Why are you looking among the dead for him who is living?

There were Mary of Magdala, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James. The other women, too, spoke about this to the Apostles.

And what is more, some of the women among us have greatly astonished us. They went to the tomb at daybreak

So some of our number went to the tomb and found everything just as the women had said; but they did not see Jesus."

A woman of Samaria came to draw water; and Jesus said to her- - "Give me some to drink,"

"How is it," replied the Samaritan woman, "that you who are a Jew ask for water from a Samaritan woman like me?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans).

"Give me this water, Sir," said the woman, "so that I may not be thirsty, nor have to come all the way here to draw water."

"I have no husband," answered the woman. "You are right in saying 'I have no husband,'" replied Jesus,

"I see, Sir, that you are a Prophet!" exclaimed the woman.

"I know," answered the woman, "that the Messiah, who is called the Christ, is coming; when once he has come, he will tell us everything."

At this moment his disciples came up, and were surprised to find him talking with a woman; but none of them asked 'What do you want?' or 'Why are you talking with her?'

So the woman, leaving her pitcher, went back to the town, and said to the people:

Many from that town came to believe in Jesus--Samaritans though they were--on account of the woman's statement--'He has told me everything that I have done.'

And they said to the woman: "It is no longer because of what you say that we believe in him, for we have heard him ourselves and know that he really is the Savior of the world."

A woman in labor is in pain because her time has come; but no sooner is the child born, than she forgets her trouble in her joy that a man has been born into the world.

They all united in devoting themselves to Prayer, and so did some women, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

Yes, even on the slaves--for they are mine--both men and women, I will in those days pour out my Spirit,

And still larger numbers, both of men and women, as they became believers in the Lord, were added to their number.

But Saul began to devastate the Church; he entered house after house, dragged out men and women alike, and threw them into prison.

However, when they came to believe Philip, as he told them the Good News about the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

And asked him to give him letters to the Jewish congregations at Damascus, authorizing him, if he found there any supporters of the Cause, whether men or women, to have them put in chains and brought to Jerusalem.

But the Jews incited the women of position who worshiped with them, and the leading men of the town, and started a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their neighborhood.

On the Sabbath we went outside the gate to the river-side, where we supposed there would be a Place of Prayer; and we sat down and talked to the women who were gathered there.

Among them was a woman, named Lydia, belonging to Thyatira, a dealer in purple cloth, who was accustomed to join in the worship of God. The Lord touched this woman's heart, so that she gave attention to the Message delivered by Paul,

Some of the people were convinced, and threw in their lot with Paul and Silas, as did also a large body of Greeks who were accustomed to join in the Jewish services, and a great number of women belonging to the leading families.

As a consequence, many of them became believers in Christ, besides a considerable number of Greek women of position, and of men also.

There were, however, some men who joined him, and became believers in Christ. Among them were Dionysius, a member of the Court of Areopagus, a woman named Damaris, and several others.

In my persecution of this Cause I did not stop even at the taking of life. I put in chains, and imprisoned, men and women alike--

For they had substituted a lie for the truth about God, and had reverenced and worshiped created things more than the Creator, who is to be praised for ever. Amen.

That, I say, is why God abandoned them to degrading passions. Even the women among them perverted the natural use of their bodies to the unnatural;

While the men, disregarding that for which women were intended by nature, were consumed with passion for one another. Men indulged in vile practices with men, and incurred in their own persons the inevitable penalty for their perverseness.

For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband while he is living; but, if her husband dies, she is set free from the law that bound her to him.

They are descended from the Patriarchs; and, as far as his human nature was concerned, from them came the Christ-he who is supreme over all things, God for ever blessed. Amen.

For all things are from him, through him, and for him. And to him be all glory for ever and ever! Amen.

May God, the giver of peace, be with you all. Amen.

To him, I say, the wise and only God, be ascribed, through Jesus Christ, all glory for ever and ever. Amen.

But, owing to the prevalence of immorality, I advise every man to have his own wife, and every woman her husband.

To those who are married my direction is-yet it is not mine, but the Master's-that a woman is not to leave her husband
