'Wife' in the Bible

Jesse became the father of King David. David became the father of Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah.

But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;

"It was also said, 'Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,'

but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.

For Herod had laid hold of John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

But because he couldn't pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?"

and said, 'For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?'

I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery."

His disciples said to him, "If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry."

Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.

saying, "Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.'

Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no seed left his wife to his brother.

In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her."

While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him."
