52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Luke 3

1

In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiber'i-us Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Iturae'a and Trachoni'tis, and Lysa'ni-as tetrarch of Abile'ne,

2

in the high-priesthood of Annas and Ca'iaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechari'ah in the wilderness;

3

and he went into all the region about the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

4

As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

5

Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;

6

and all flesh shall see the salvation of God."

7

He said therefore to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

8

Bear fruits that befit repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father'; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

9

Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."

10

And the multitudes asked him, "What then shall we do?"

11

And he answered them, "He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise."

12

Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?"

13

And he said to them, "Collect no more than is appointed you."

14

Soldiers also asked him, "And we, what shall we do?" And he said to them, "Rob no one by violence or by false accusation, and be content with your wages."

15

As the people were in expectation, and all men questioned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he were the Christ,

16

John answered them all, "I baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

17

His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into his granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."

18

So, with many other exhortations, he preached good news to the people.

19

But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him for Hero'di-as, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things that Herod had done,

20

added this to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

21

Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened,

22

and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form, as a dove, and a voice came from heaven, "Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased."

23

Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,

24

the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jan'na-i, the son of Joseph,

25

the son of Mattathi'as, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Nag'ga-i,

26

the son of Ma'ath, the son of Mattathi'as, the son of Sem'e-in, the son of Josech, the son of Joda,

27

the son of Jo-an'an, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerub'babel, the son of She-al'ti-el, the son of Neri,

28

the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elma'dam, the son of Er,

29

the son of Joshua, the son of Elie'zer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi,

30

the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eli'akim,

31

the son of Me'le-a, the son of Menna, the son of Mat'tatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David,

32

the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Bo'az, the son of Sala, the son of Nahshon,

33

the son of Ammin'adab, the son of Admin, the son of Arni, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah,

34

the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor,

35

the son of Serug, the son of Re'u, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah,

36

the son of Ca-i'nan, the son of Arphax'ad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech,

37

the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Maha'lale-el, the son of Ca-i'nan,

38

the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

Luke 4

1

And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit

2

for forty days in the wilderness, tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days; and when they were ended, he was hungry.

3

The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."

4

And Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone.'"

5

And the devil took him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,

6

and said to him, "To you I will give all this authority and their glory; for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will.

7

If you, then, will worship me, it shall all be yours."

8

And Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.'"

9

And he took him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here;

10

for it is written, 'He will give his angels charge of you, to guard you,'

11

and 'On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.'"

12

And Jesus answered him, "It is said, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"

13

And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.

14

And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and a report concerning him went out through all the surrounding country.

15

And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

16

And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and he went to the synagogue, as his custom was, on the sabbath day. And he stood up to read;

17

and there was given to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. He opened the book and found the place where it was written,

18

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed,

19

to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

20

And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.

21

And he began to say to them, "Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."

22

And all spoke well of him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth; and they said, "Is not this Joseph's son?"

23

And he said to them, "Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, 'Physician, heal yourself; what we have heard you did at Caper'na-um, do here also in your own country.'"

24

And he said, "Truly, I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his own country.

25

But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Eli'jah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land;

26

and Eli'jah was sent to none of them but only to Zar'ephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

27

And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Eli'sha; and none of them was cleansed, but only Na'aman the Syrian."

28

When they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath.

29

And they rose up and put him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong.

30

But passing through the midst of them he went away.

31

And he went down to Caper'na-um, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath;

32

and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

33

And in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,

34

"Ah! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God."

35

But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!" And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm.

36

And they were all amazed and said to one another, "What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out."

37

And reports of him went out into every place in the surrounding region.

38

And he arose and left the synagogue, and entered Simon's house. Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they besought him for her.

39

And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her; and immediately she rose and served them.

40

Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them.

41

And demons also came out of many, crying, "You are the Son of God!" But he rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

42

And when it was day he departed and went into a lonely place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them;

43

but he said to them, "I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also; for I was sent for this purpose."

44

And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.
