52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Matthew 8

1

When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

2

And a leper came to Him and bowed down before Him, and said, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.'

3

Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed.' And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

4

And Jesus said to him, " See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.'

5

And when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him,

6

and saying, " Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented.'

7

Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him.'

8

But the centurion said, " Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

9

"For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, "Go!' and he goes, and to another, "Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, "Do this!' and he does it.'

10

Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, "Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.

11

"I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;

12

but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

13

And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed.' And the servant was healed that very moment.

14

When Jesus came into Peter's home, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever.

15

He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she got up and waited on Him.

16

When evening came, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill.

17

This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: " HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES AND CARRIED AWAY OUR DISEASES.'

18

Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, He gave orders to depart to the other side of the sea.

19

Then a scribe came and said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.'

20

Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.'

21

Another of the disciples said to Him, "Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.'

22

But Jesus said to him, " Follow Me, and allow the dead to bury their own dead.'

23

When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

24

And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep.

25

And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, " Save us, Lord; we are perishing!'

26

He said to them, "Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?' Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm.

27

The men were amazed, and said, "What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?'

28

When He came to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two men who were demon-possessed met Him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so extremely violent that no one could pass by that way.

29

And they cried out, saying, " What business do we have with each other, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?'

30

Now there was a herd of many swine feeding at a distance from them.

31

The demons began to entreat Him, saying, "If You are going to cast us out, send us into the herd of swine.'

32

And He said to them, "Go!' And they came out and went into the swine, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the waters.

33

The herdsmen ran away, and went to the city and reported everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs.

34

And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, they implored Him to leave their region. 9

Matthew 9

1

Getting into a boat, Jesus crossed over the sea and came to His own city.

2

And they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, " Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.'

3

And some of the scribes said to themselves, "This fellow blasphemes.'

4

And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, "Why are you thinking evil in your hearts?

5

"Which is easier, to say, " Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, "Get up, and walk'?

6

"But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins'then He said to the paralytic, "Get up, pick up your bed and go home.'

7

And he got up and went home.

8

But when the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

9

As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man called Matthew, sitting in the tax collector's booth; and He said to him, " Follow Me!' And he got up and followed Him.

10

Then it happened that as Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were dining with Jesus and His disciples.

11

When the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, " Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?'

12

But when Jesus heard this, He said, "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick.

13

"But go and learn what this means: " I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT SACRIFICE,' for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.'

14

Then the disciples of John came to Him, asking, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?'

15

And Jesus said to them, "The attendants of the bridegroom cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they? But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.

16

"But no one puts a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results.

17

"Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the wine pours out and the wineskins are ruined; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.'

18

While He was saying these things to them, a synagogue official came and bowed down before Him, and said, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live.'

19

Jesus got up and began to follow him, and so did His disciples.

20

And a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak;

21

for she was saying to herself, "If I only touch His garment, I will get well.'

22

But Jesus turning and seeing her said, "Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well.' At once the woman was made well.

23

When Jesus came into the official's house, and saw the flute-players and the crowd in noisy disorder,

24

He said, "Leave; for the girl has not died, but is asleep.' And they began laughing at Him.

25

But when the crowd had been sent out, He entered and took her by the hand, and the girl got up.

26

This news spread throughout all that land.

27

As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!'

28

When He entered the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?' They said to Him, "Yes, Lord.'

29

Then He touched their eyes, saying, " It shall be done to you according to your faith.'

30

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them: "See that no one knows about this!'

31

But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout all that land.

32

As they were going out, a mute, demon-possessed man was brought to Him.

33

After the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed, and were saying, " Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.'

34

But the Pharisees were saying, "He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons.'

35

Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.

36

Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd.

37

Then He said to His disciples, " The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

38

"Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.' 10

Matthew 10

1

Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.

2

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

3

Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

4

Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Him.

5

These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: "Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans;

6

but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

7

"And as you go, preach, saying, " The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'

8

"Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.

9

" Do not acquire gold, or silver, or copper for your money belts,

10

or a bag for your journey, or even two coats, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker is worthy of his support.

11

"And whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay at his house until you leave that city.

12

"As you enter the house, give it your greeting.

13

"If the house is worthy, give it your blessing of peace. But if it is not worthy, take back your blessing of peace.

14

"Whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet.

15

"Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

16

" Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.

17

"But beware of men, for they will hand you over to the courts and scourge you in their synagogues;

18

and you will even be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.

19

" But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say.

20

"For it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

21

" Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.

22

" You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.

23

"But whenever they persecute you in one city, flee to the next; for truly I say to you, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes.

24

" A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master.

25

"It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household!

26

"Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.

27

" What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.

28

"Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

29

" Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.

30

"But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31

"So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

32

"Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven.

33

"But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.

34

" Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

35

"For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW;

36

and A MAN'S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD.

37

" He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

38

"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.

39

" He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.

40

" He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.

41

" He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

42

"And whoever in the name of a disciple gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.' 11
