'Woman' in the Bible

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.

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.

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.”

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.

Then last of all the woman died.

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!”

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.

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.”

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

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.”

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?

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

Finally, the woman died too.

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

But he denied it: “Woman, I don’t know 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.

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.”

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.

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.

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

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.

Now in response to the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have relations with a woman.”

But because sexual immorality is so common, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband.

Also, if any woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not leave her husband.

and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or a virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.

But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of Christ.

But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since that is one and the same as having her head shaved.

So if a woman’s head is not covered, her hair should be cut off. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, she should be covered.

A man, in fact, should not cover his head, because he is God’s image and glory, but woman is man’s glory.

For man did not come from woman, but woman came from man.

And man was not created for woman, but woman for man.

This is why a woman should have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, and man is not independent of woman.

For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman, and all things come from God.

Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her as a covering.

And if they want to learn something, they should ask their own husbands at home, for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church meeting.

When the time came to completion, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

For it is written:Rejoice, childless woman,who does not give birth.Burst into song and shout,you who are not in labor,for the children of the desolate are many,more numerous than thoseof the woman who has a husband.

When they say, “Peace and security,” then sudden destruction comes on them, like labor pains come on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

A woman should learn in silence with full submission.

I do not allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; instead, she is to be silent.

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and transgressed.

If any believing woman has widows in her family, she should help them, and the church should not be burdened, so that it can help those who are genuinely widows.

But I have this against you: You tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and teaches and deceives My slaves to commit sexual immorality and to eat meat sacrificed to idols.

A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of 12 stars on her head.

His tail swept away a third of the stars in heaven and hurled them to the earth. And the dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she did give birth he might devour her child.

The woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, to be fed there for 1,260 days.

When the dragon saw that he had been thrown to earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.

The woman was given two wings of a great eagle, so that she could fly from the serpent’s presence to her place in the wilderness, where she was fed for a time, times, and half a time.

From his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river flowing after the woman, to sweep her away in a torrent.

But the earth helped the woman. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon had spewed from his mouth.

So the dragon was furious with the woman and left to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God’s commands and have the testimony about Jesus.

So he carried me away in the Spirit to a desert. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and 10 horns.

The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls. She had a gold cup in her hand filled with everything vile and with the impurities of her prostitution.

Then I saw that the woman was drunk on the blood of the saints and on the blood of the witnesses to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished.

Then the angel said to me, “Why are you astonished? I will tell you the secret meaning of the woman and of the beast, with the seven heads and the 10 horns, that carries her.

“Here is the mind with wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated.

And the woman you saw is the great city that has an empire over the kings of the earth.”
