"it shall come to pass in the last days (saith God) I will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men dream dreams:

who was followed by a great crowd of people, and several women, who beat their breasts and lamented him. but Jesus turn'd about and said to them, daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for your selves, and for your children. for now the time is coming, when it will be said, happy are the barren, and they who never bare, happy the breast, that never gave suck.

but Jesus turned about, and looking upon her, said, daughter lay aside your fears, thy faith hath cured thee: and the woman was cured from that instant.
