52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Mark 13

1

And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!"

2

And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down."

3

And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

4

"Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign when these things are all to be accomplished?"

5

And Jesus began to say to them, "Take heed that no one leads you astray.

6

Many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he!' and they will lead many astray.

7

And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is not yet.

8

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places, there will be famines; this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs.

9

"But take heed to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to councils; and you will be beaten in synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them.

10

And the gospel must first be preached to all nations.

11

And when they bring you to trial and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say; but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

12

And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death;

13

and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.

14

"But when you see the desolating sacrilege set up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains;

15

let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter his house, to take anything away;

16

and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his mantle.

17

And alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days!

18

Pray that it may not happen in winter.

19

For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

20

And if the Lord had not shortened the days, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days.

21

And then if any one says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it.

22

False Christs and false prophets will arise and show signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect.

23

But take heed; I have told you all things beforehand.

24

"But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,

25

and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

26

And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.

27

And then he will send out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.

28

"From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.

29

So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates.

30

Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away before all these things take place.

31

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

32

"But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

33

Take heed, watch; for you do not know when the time will come.

34

It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to be on the watch.

35

Watch therefore--for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning--

36

lest he come suddenly and find you asleep.

37

And what I say to you I say to all: Watch."

Mark 14

1

It was now two days before the Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to arrest him by stealth, and kill him;

2

for they said, "Not during the feast, lest there be a tumult of the people."

3

And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his head.

4

But there were some who said to themselves indignantly, "Why was the ointment thus wasted?

5

For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor." And they reproached her.

6

But Jesus said, "Let her alone; why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.

7

For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you will, you can do good to them; but you will not always have me.

8

She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burying.

9

And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her."

10

Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went to the chief priests in order to betray him to them.

11

And when they heard it they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought an opportunity to betray him.

12

And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the passover lamb, his disciples said to him, "Where will you have us go and prepare for you to eat the passover?"

13

And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him,

14

and wherever he enters, say to the householder, 'The Teacher says, Where is my guest room, where I am to eat the passover with my disciples?'

15

And he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare for us."

16

And the disciples set out and went to the city, and found it as he had told them; and they prepared the passover.

17

And when it was evening he came with the twelve.

18

And as they were at table eating, Jesus said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me."

19

They began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one after another, "Is it I?"

20

He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, one who is dipping bread into the dish with me.

21

For the Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."

22

And as they were eating, he took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said, "Take; this is my body."

23

And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it.

24

And he said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

25

Truly, I say to you, I shall not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

26

And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

27

And Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away; for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'

28

But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee."

29

Peter said to him, "Even though they all fall away, I will not."

30

And Jesus said to him, "Truly, I say to you, this very night, before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times."

31

But he said vehemently, "If I must die with you, I will not deny you." And they all said the same.

32

And they went to a place which was called Gethsem'ane; and he said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I pray."

33

And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled.

34

And he said to them, "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch."

35

And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

36

And he said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee; remove this cup from me; yet not what I will, but what thou wilt."

37

And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour?

38

Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

39

And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.

40

And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer him.

41

And he came the third time, and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come; the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42

Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand."

43

And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

44

Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I shall kiss is the man; seize him and lead him away under guard."

45

And when he came, he went up to him at once, and said, "Master!" And he kissed him.

46

And they laid hands on him and seized him.

47

But one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.

48

And Jesus said to them, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me?

49

Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the scriptures be fulfilled."

50

And they all forsook him, and fled.

51

And a young man followed him, with nothing but a linen cloth about his body; and they seized him,

52

but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked.

53

And they led Jesus to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes were assembled.

54

And Peter had followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the guards, and warming himself at the fire.

55

Now the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus to put him to death; but they found none.

56

For many bore false witness against him, and their witness did not agree.

57

And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying,

58

"We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.'"

59

Yet not even so did their testimony agree.

60

And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?"

61

But he was silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

62

And Jesus said, "I am; and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."

63

And the high priest tore his garments, and said, "Why do we still need witnesses?

64

You have heard his blasphemy. What is your decision?" And they all condemned him as deserving death.

65

And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to strike him, saying to him, "Prophesy!" And the guards received him with blows.

66

And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the maids of the high priest came;

67

and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus."

68

But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you mean." And he went out into the gateway.

69

And the maid saw him, and began again to say to the bystanders, "This man is one of them."

70

But again he denied it. And after a little while again the bystanders said to Peter, "Certainly you are one of them; for you are a Galilean."

71

But he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, "I do not know this man of whom you speak."

72

And immediately the cock crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, "Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times." And he broke down and wept.
