​Mary Magdalene, Apostle

¹⁶But Ruth said,
“Do not press me to leave you
or to turn back from following you!
Where you go, I will go;
where you lodge, I will lodge,
your people shall be my people,
and your God my God.
¹⁷Where you die, I will die —
there will I be buried.
May the LORD do thus and so to me,
and more as well,
if even death parts me from you!”
¹⁸When Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more to her.
