Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way: when his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit.

And she will give birth to a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."

but did not know her until she had borne a son. And he called his name Jesus.

He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and served him.

For she said to herself, "If I only touch his garment, I shall be made well."

so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.

Prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."

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 urged him, saying, "Send her away, for she is crying out after us."

But she came and knelt before him, saying, "Lord, help me!"

"Yes, Lord," she said, "yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table."

And he said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom."

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

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

a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive perfume, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.

But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me.

For in pouring this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.

Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her."

So he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her. And she served them.

and pleaded earnestly with him, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be healed, and live."

and she had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she owned, and was no better but rather grew worse.

When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment.

For she said, "If I touch even his clothes, I shall be made well."

And immediately the bleeding stopped; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.

Immediately the girl stood up and walked (she was twelve years of age). And they were overcome with great amazement.

And Herodias had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not,

And when the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you want, and I will give it to you."

So she went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the Baptist!"

Immediately she came in with haste to the king and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

But a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit heard about him, and she came and fell at his feet.

Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

But she answered him, "Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."

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

And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."

In the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife."

And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly. And she broke the flask and poured it over his head.

But Jesus said, "Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.

She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint my body for burial.

And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her."

And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus."

She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she hid herself, saying,

But she was greatly troubled at his saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be.

and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.

And she exclaimed with a loud voice, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord."

Now the time came for Elizabeth to be delivered, and she gave birth to a son.

And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity,

and as a widow till she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, but worshipped with fasting and prayer night and day.

And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.

So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she rose and served them.

As he came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.

And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that Jesus was reclining at the table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of perfume,

and as she stood behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfume.

Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner."

Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.

You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfume.

Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little."

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the people pressed round him.

When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.

But Jesus on hearing this answered him, "Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be well."

Now all were wailing and mourning for her; but he said, "Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping."

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

Then her spirit returned, and she got up at once. And he directed that something should be given her to eat.

And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his word.

But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me."

The queen of the South will rise at 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, something greater than Solomon is here.

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

And there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; she was bent over and could not straighten up at all.

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

"Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?

And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.'

yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her justice, or she will wear me out by her continual coming.'"

In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife."

for these all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had to live on."

She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and sin no more."

When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary sat in the house.

She said to him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world."

And when she had said this, she went her way and called Mary her sister, saying, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you."

When she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him.

The Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

Jesus said, "Let her alone, she has kept this for the day of my burial.

When a woman is in labor she has sorrow, because her hour has come; but as soon as she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a child has been born into the world.

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

But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb.

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

They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him."

Saying this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away."

Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (which means, Teacher).

Mary Magdalene went and said to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord!" And she told them that he had said these things to her.

Peter said to her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for such and such a price." And she said, "Yes, that was the price."

Immediately she fell down at his feet and died. When the young men came in they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha (which is translated Dorcas). She was full of good works and acts of charity.
