'Woman' in the Bible

But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to desire her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

But a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak.

But when Jesus turned and saw her he said, "Have courage, daughter! Your faith has made you well." And the woman was healed from that hour.

He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all the dough had risen."

A Canaanite woman from that area came and cried out, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is horribly demon-possessed!"

Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, your faith is great! Let what you want be done for you." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

Last of all, the woman died.

a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfumed oil, and she poured it on his head as he was at the table.

When Jesus learned of this, he said to them, "Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a good service for me.

Now a woman was there who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years.

Then the woman, with fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.

Instead, a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit immediately heard about him and came and fell at his feet.

The woman was a Greek, of Syrophoenician origin. She asked him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

None of the seven had children. Finally, the woman died too.

Now while Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, reclining at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of costly aromatic oil from pure nard. After breaking open the jar, she poured it on his head.

Yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to a woman who was a widow at Zarephath in Sidon.

Then when a woman of that town, who was a sinner, learned that Jesus was dining at the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfumed oil.

Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what kind of woman this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner."

Then, turning toward 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 has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."

Now a woman was there who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years but could not be healed by anyone.

When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed.

Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him as a guest.

As he said these things, a woman in the crowd spoke out to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts at which you nursed!"

and a woman was there who had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten herself up completely.

When Jesus saw her, he called her to him and said, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity."

Then shouldn't this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen long years, be released from this imprisonment on the Sabbath day?"

It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all the dough had risen."

"Or what woman, if she has ten silver coins and loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search thoroughly until she finds it?

"Everyone who divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery, and the one who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.

Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died without children.

Finally the woman died too.

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

But Peter denied it: "Woman, I don't know him!"

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."

He also came to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple named Timothy was there, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but whose father was a Greek.

A woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, a God-fearing woman, listened to us. The Lord opened her heart to respond to what Paul was saying.

But some people joined him and believed. Among them were Dionysius, who was a member of the Areopagus, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

For a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of the marriage.

Now with regard to the issues you wrote about: "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman."

But because of immoralities, each man should have relations with his own wife and each woman with her own husband.

And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is happy to live with her, she should not divorce him.

and he is divided. An unmarried woman or a virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord, to be holy both in body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the things of the world, how to please her husband.

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

But any woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered disgraces her head, for it is one and the same thing as having a shaved head.

For if a woman will not cover her head, she should cut off her hair. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, she should cover her head.

For a man should not have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.

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

Neither was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for man.

For this reason a woman should have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

In any case, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

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

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

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

If they want to find out about something, they should ask their husbands at home, because it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church.

But when the appropriate time had come, God sent out his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.

But one, the son by the slave woman, was born by natural descent, while the other, the son by the free woman, was born through the promise.

For it is written: "Rejoice, O barren woman who does not bear children; break forth and shout, you who have no birth pains, because the children of the desolate woman are more numerous than those of the woman who has a husband."

But what does the scripture say? "Throw out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman will not share the inheritance with the son" of the free woman.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman but of the free woman.

Now when they are saying, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction comes on them, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will surely not escape.

A woman must learn quietly with all submissiveness.

But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man. She must remain quiet.

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman, because she was fully deceived, fell into transgression.

If a believing woman has widows in her family, let her help them. The church should not be burdened, so that it may help the widows who are truly in need.

But I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and by her teaching deceives my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.

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

Now the dragon's tail swept away a third of the stars in heaven and hurled them to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child as soon as it was born.

So the woman gave birth to a son, a male child, who is going to rule over all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was suddenly caught up to God and to his throne,

Now when the dragon realized that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.

But the woman was given the two wings of a giant eagle so that she could fly out into the wilderness, to the place God prepared for her, where she is taken care of -- away from the presence of the serpent -- for a time, times, and half a time.

Then the serpent spouted water like a river out of his mouth after the woman in an attempt to sweep her away by a flood,

So the dragon became enraged at the woman and went away to make war on the rest of her children, those who keep God's commandments and hold to the testimony about Jesus. And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore.

So he carried me away in the Spirit to a wilderness, and there I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.

Now the woman was dressed in purple and scarlet clothing, and adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls. She held in her hand a golden cup filled with detestable things and unclean things from her sexual immorality.

I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of those who testified to Jesus. I was greatly astounded when I saw her.

But the angel said to me, "Why are you astounded? I will interpret for you the mystery of the woman and of the beast with the seven heads and ten horns that carries her.

(This requires a mind that has wisdom.) The seven heads are seven mountains the woman sits on. They are also seven kings:
