'Woman' in the Bible

Jesus replied, "Woman, why are you saying this to me? My time has not yet come."

A Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me some water to drink."

So the Samaritan woman said to him, "How can you -- a Jew -- ask me, a Samaritan woman, for water to drink?" (For Jews use nothing in common with Samaritans.)

"Sir," the woman said to him, "you have no bucket and the well is deep; where then do you get this living water?

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water."

The woman replied, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "Right you are when you said, 'I have no husband,'

The woman said to him, "Sir, I see that you are a prophet.

Jesus said to her, "Believe me, woman, a time 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" (the one called Christ); "whenever he comes, he will tell us everything."

Now at that very moment his disciples came back. They were shocked because he was speaking with a woman. However, no one said, "What do you want?" or "Why are you speaking with her?"

Then the woman left her water jar, went off into the town and said to the people,

Now many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the report of the woman who testified, "He told me everything I ever did."

They said to the woman, "No longer do we believe because of your words, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this one really is the Savior of the world."

The experts in the law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught committing adultery. They made her stand in front of them

and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of adultery.

Now when they heard this, they began to drift away one at a time, starting with the older ones, until Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.

Jesus stood up straight and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"

When a woman gives birth, she has distress because her time has come, but when her child is born, she no longer remembers the suffering because of her joy that a human being has been born into the world.

So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, "Woman, look, here is your son!"

They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" Mary replied, "They have taken my Lord away, and I do not know where they have put him!"

Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?" Because she thought he was the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him."
