52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Luke 9

1

And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases,

2

and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal.

3

And he said to them, "Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics.

4

And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart.

5

And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them."

6

And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

7

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead,

8

by some that Eli'jah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen.

9

Herod said, "John I beheaded; but who is this about whom I hear such things?" And he sought to see him.

10

On their return the apostles told him what they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart to a city called Beth-sa'ida.

11

When the crowds learned it, they followed him; and he welcomed them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and cured those who had need of healing.

12

Now the day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, "Send the crowd away, to go into the villages and country round about, to lodge and get provisions; for we are here in a lonely place."

13

But he said to them, "You give them something to eat." They said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish--unless we are to go and buy food for all these people."

14

For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, "Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each."

15

And they did so, and made them all sit down.

16

And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

17

And all ate and were satisfied. And they took up what was left over, twelve baskets of broken pieces.

18

Now it happened that as he was praying alone the disciples were with him; and he asked them, "Who do the people say that I am?"

19

And they answered, "John the Baptist; but others say, Eli'jah; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen."

20

And he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" And Peter answered, "The Christ of God."

21

But he charged and commanded them to tell this to no one,

22

saying, "The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised."

23

And he said to all, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.

24

For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it.

25

For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?

26

For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

27

But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God."

28

Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.

29

And as he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became dazzling white.

30

And behold, two men talked with him, Moses and Eli'jah,

31

who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was to accomplish at Jerusalem.

32

Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, and when they wakened they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him.

33

And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli'jah" --not knowing what he said.

34

As he said this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

35

And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!"

36

And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silence and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.

37

On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.

38

And behold, a man from the crowd cried, "Teacher, I beg you to look upon my son, for he is my only child;

39

and behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him till he foams, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him.

40

And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."

41

Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here."

42

While he was coming, the demon tore him and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

43

And all were astonished at the majesty of God. But while they were all marveling at everything he did, he said to his disciples,

44

"Let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men."

45

But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

46

And an argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest.

47

But when Jesus perceived the thought of their hearts, he took a child and put him by his side,

48

and said to them, "Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me; for he who is least among you all is the one who is great."

49

John answered, "Master, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us."

50

But Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him; for he that is not against you is for you."

51

When the days drew near for him to be received up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.

52

And he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him;

53

but the people would not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem.

54

And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, "Lord, do you want us to bid fire come down from heaven and consume them?"

55

But he turned and rebuked them.

56

And they went on to another village.

57

As they were going along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."

58

And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head."

59

To another he said, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."

60

But he said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God."

61

Another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home."

62

Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."

Luke 10

1

After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to come.

2

And he said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.

3

Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.

4

Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and salute no one on the road.

5

Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house!'

6

And if a son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you.

7

And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages; do not go from house to house.

8

Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you;

9

heal the sick in it and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.'

10

But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say,

11

'Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off against you; nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near.'

12

I tell you, it shall be more tolerable on that day for Sodom than for that town.

13

"Woe to you, Chora'zin! woe to you, Beth-sa'ida! for if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

14

But it shall be more tolerable in the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you.

15

And you, Caper'na-um, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades.

16

"He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me."

17

The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!"

18

And he said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

19

Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall hurt you.

20

Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

21

In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes; yea, Father, for such was thy gracious will.

22

All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."

23

Then turning to the disciples he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see what you see!

24

For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it."

25

And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

26

He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read?"

27

And he answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."

28

And he said to him, "You have answered right; do this, and you will live."

29

But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

30

Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31

Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him he passed by on the other side.

32

So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

33

But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion,

34

and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35

And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.'

36

Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?"

37

He said, "The one who showed mercy on him." And Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

38

Now as they went on their way, he entered a village; and a woman named Martha received him into her house.

39

And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching.

40

But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me."

41

But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things;

42

one thing is needful. Mary has chosen the good portion, which shall not be taken away from her."
