For a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if her<n id="1" /> husband dies, she is released from the law of the marriage.<n id="2" />

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.

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

Nevertheless,<n id="1" /> each one of you must also love his own wife as he loves himself,<n id="2" /> and the wife must<n id="3" /> respect<n id="4" /> her husband.p>

and she<n id="1" /> fled into the wilderness<n id="2" /> where a place had been prepared for her<n id="3" /> by God, so she could be taken care of<n id="4" /> for 1,260 days.p>

(This requires<n id="1" /> a mind that has wisdom.) The seven heads are seven mountains<n id="2" /> the woman sits on. They are also seven kings:

As for<n id="1" /> the woman you saw, she is the great city that has sovereignty over the kings of the earth.&#8221;p>

<p class="poetry">Let us rejoice<n id="1" /> and exultp> <p class="poetry">and give him glory,p> <p class="poetry">because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come,p> <p class="poetry">and his bride has made herself ready.p>

But when Jesus turned and saw her he said, &#8220;Have courage, daughter! Your faith has made you well.&#8221;<n id="1" /> And the woman was healed<n id="2" /> from that hour.

<t /><p class="bodytext">He told them another parable: &#8220;The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with<n id="1" /> three measures<n id="2" /> of flour until all the dough had risen.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

A<n id="1" /> Canaanite woman from that area came<n id="2" /> and cried out,<n id="3" /> &#8220;Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is horribly demon-possessed!&#8221;

As<n id="1" /> he was sitting on the judgment seat,<n id="2" /> his wife sent a message<n id="3" /> to him:<n id="4" /> &#8220;Have nothing to do with that innocent man;<n id="5" /> I have suffered greatly as a result of a dream<n id="6" /> about him today.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> while Jesus<n id="2" /> was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, reclining at the table,<n id="3" /> a woman came with an alabaster jar<n id="4" /> of costly aromatic oil<n id="5" /> from pure nard. After breaking open the jar, she poured it on his head.

<t /><p class="bodytext">During the reign<n id="1" /> of Herod<n id="2" /> king of Judea, there lived a priest named Zechariah who belonged to<n id="3" /> the priestly division of Abijah,<n id="4" /> and he had a wife named Elizabeth,<n id="5" /> who was a descendant of Aaron.<n id="6" />

But the angel said to him, &#8220;Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard,<n id="1" /> and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son; you<n id="2" /> will name him John.<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">Zechariah<n id="1" /> said to the angel, &#8220;How can I be sure of this?<n id="2" /> For I am an old man, and my wife is old as well.&#8221;<n id="3" />

Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this,<n id="1" /> he said to himself, &#8220;If this man were a prophet,<n id="2" /> he would know who and what kind of woman<n id="3" /> this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner.&#8221;

When<n id="1" /> the woman saw that she could not escape notice,<n id="2" /> she came trembling and fell down before him. In<n id="3" /> the presence of all the people, she explained why<n id="4" /> she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed.
