Now the birth of Jesus Christ occurred in this way. His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, [but] before they came together, she was found {to be pregnant} by the Holy Spirit.

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

and {did not have sexual relations with} her until she gave birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.

"A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping [for] her children, and she did not want to be comforted, because {they exist no longer}."

And he touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve him.

[As] he was saying these [things] to them, behold, one of the rulers came [and] knelt down before him, saying, "My daughter has just now died, but come, place your hand on her and she will live!"

for she said to herself, "If only I touch his cloak I will be healed."

The queen of the south will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, [something] greater than Solomon [is] here!

Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.

And coached by her mother, she said, "Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter!"

But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came up [and] asked him, saying, "Send her away, because she is crying out after us!"

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

So she said, "Yes, Lord, for even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table."

Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons, [and] kneeling down [she] asked something from him.

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

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

so that upon you will come all the righteous blood shed on the earth from the blood of righteous Abel up to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

But Jesus, knowing [this], said to them, "Why do you cause trouble for the woman? For she has done a good deed for me.

For [when] this woman poured this ointment on my body, she did [it] in order to prepare me for burial.
