And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.

And after these days Elisabeth his wife conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying,

"Thus has the Lord dealt with me," she said, "now that He has graciously taken away my reproach among men."

And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

and she entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.

And it happened when Elizabeth heard Mary greet her, the baby in Elizabeth's womb "kicked," and she was filled with the Holy Spirit.

And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

For he has had pity on his servant, though she is poor and lowly placed: and from this hour will all generations give witness to the blessing which has come to me.

And Mary stayed with her about three months; then she returned to her home.

Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.

to be inscribed in the census roll with Mary who was betrothed to him as his wife, she being great with child.

And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

and as for Mary, she treasured it all up and mused upon it.

And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;

And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

the'son of Cainan, the'son of Arphaxad, the'son of Shem, the'son of Noah, the'son of Lamech,

And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

how he went into the court of the tabernacle, took and eat the shew-bread, and distributed it likewise to the company, which the law allowed the priests only to eat?

Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:

Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

and standing behind at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment.

Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.

For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.

And a woman who was {suffering from hemorrhages} for twelve years (who, [although she] had spent all [her] assets on physicians, was not able to be healed by anyone)

She came up behind Jesus and touched the tassel of his garment, and her bleeding stopped at once.

And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.

And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.

And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.

And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

and yet only one thing is really necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion and she shall not be deprived of it."

The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

This is why the Wisdom of God said, 'I will send prophets and apostles to them, and some of them they will kill and some they will persecute'??50 so that this age may be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the creation of the world,

That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

But I will shew you whom ye shall fear: Fear him who after he has killed has authority to cast into hell; yea, I say to you, Fear him.

And behold, a woman that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and could in no wise lift herself up.

And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

And this woman, who is a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, lo, these eighteen years, ought she not to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

Jerusalem! Jerusalem! she that slayeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! How often, have I desired to gather together thy children, like as a hen, her own brood, under her wings, - and ye did not desire!

Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?

And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.

"Every person who divorces his wife and marries another woman becomes sexually unfaithful to her [i.e., because he is still regarded by God as married to his first wife. See Matt. 19:9]. And the person who marries someone who has been divorced by her husband commits sexual sin with her [i.e., because she is still rightfully married to her first husband].

And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

And He spake also a parable to them, to shew that men ought always to pray, and not to faint:

And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

Then said the master of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: probably when they see him, they will shew him respect.

Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.

then the third took her, and so she was married to all seven, who all died without leaving any children.

Last of all the woman died also. Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife of them is she?

Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.

Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
