Now a certain man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village where Mary and her sister Martha lived.

so many of the Jewish people of the region had come to Martha and Mary to console them over the loss of their brother.)

So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.

But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. As she wept, she bent down and looked into the tomb.

Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni” (which means Teacher).

So Mary said, “Yes, I am a servant of the Lord; let this happen to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.

So they hurried off and located Mary and Joseph, and found the baby lying in a manger.

and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and disabilities: Mary (called Magdalene), from whom seven demons had gone out,

She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to what he said.

(Now it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfumed oil and wiped his feet dry with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

And when she had said this, Martha went and called her sister Mary, saying privately, “The Teacher is here and is asking for you.”

Then many of the people, who had come with Mary and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in him.

Mary Magdalene came and informed the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what Jesus had said to her.

All these continued together in prayer with one mind, together with the women, along with Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

When Peter realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John Mark, where many people had gathered together and were praying.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened this way. While his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.

As they came into the house and saw the child with Mary his mother, they bowed down and worshiped him. They opened their treasure boxes and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother named Mary? And aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And aren’t his sisters here with us?” And so they took offense at him.

When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
