Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children he left his wife to his brother.

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.
