Maria

34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, This child is destined for the fall and the rise of many in Israel, to serve as a mark for contradiction;

35 (yes, you own soul shall be pierced as with a javelin;) that the thoughts of many hearts may be disclosed.


19 But Mary let none of these things escape unobserved, weighing every circumstance within herself.


26 Now, in the sixth month, God sent Gabriel his angel, to Nazareth, a city of Galilee;

27 to a virgin betrothed to a man called Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary.

28 When the angel entered, he said to her, Hail, favorite of heaven! the Lord be with you, happiest of women!


55 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And do not his brothers, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas,

56 and all his sisters, live amongst us? Whence, then, has he all these things?


3 The wine falling short, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.

4 Jesus answered, Woman, what have you to do with me? My time is not yet come.

5 His mother said to the servants, Do whatever he shall bid you.


48 and they beheld him with astonishment. And his mother said to him, Son, why have you treated us thus? Behold, your father and I have sought you with sorrow.

49 He answered, Why did you seek me? Did you not know that I must be in the courts of my Father?

50 But they did not comprehend his answer.

51 And he returned with them to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her memory.


31 Meanwhile came his mother and brothers, who standing without, sent for him.

32 And the crowd who sat round him, said to him, Lo, your mother and brothers are without, and seek you.

33 He answered them, saying, Who is my mother or my brothers?

34 And looking about on those who sat around him, he said, Behold my mother and my brothers;

35 for whosoever does the will of God, is my brother, my sister, and mother.


46 Then Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,

47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour;

48 because he has not disdained the low condition of his handmaid; for henceforth, all posterity will pronounce me happy.

49 For the Almighty, whose name is venerable, has done wonders for me.

50 His mercy on them who fear him, extends to generations of generations.

51 He displays the strength of his arm, and dispels the vain imaginations of the proud.

52 He pulls down potentates from their thrones, and exalts the lowly.

53 The needy he loads with benefits; but the rich he spoils of everything.

54 He supports Israel his servant, ever inclined to mercy,

55 (as he promised to our fathers) toward Abraham and his race.


18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened thus: Mary his mother had been espoused to Joseph; but before they came together, she proved to be with child by the Holy Spirit.


30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

31 And behold, you shall conceive and bear a son, whom you shall name Jesus.

32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest. And the Lord God will give him the throne of David his Father.

33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever: his reign shall never end.


4 Joseph also went from Nazareth, a city of Galilee, to a city of David in Judea, called Bethlehem, (for he was of the house and lineage of David,)

5 to be registered, with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was pregnant.

6 While they were there, the time came, that she should be delivered.

7 And she brought forth her first born son, and swathed him, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the house allotted to strangers.


14 These all unanimously persevered in prayer, with the women, and with Mary, the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.


25 Thus, therefore, acted the soldiers. Now, there stood near the cross of Jesus, his mother, and her sister Mary, the wife of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene.

26 Then Jesus, observing his mother, and the disciple whom he loved, standing by, said to his mother, Woman, behold your son.

27 Then he said to the disciple, Behold your mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own house.
