Day 15: more healings, beseeching the Lord of the harvest, instructions for the twelve
chronological assignment for October 15: Matthew 8:14-34, Mark 4-5
For more information about this study, see my introduction.
I follow two Bible reading plans yearly, one chronological and one with a daily Old Testament and New Testament reading. I publish those daily readings and prayer here. At the start of 2023, I started summarizing the books of the Bible, and those summaries can be found here.
In this chronological study, as we follow various clues in the Gospel writers’ accounts, we depart from daily assigned reading in the chronological plan that I follow, which usually assigns most or all of whole chapters. Since we look at smaller segments consisting of particular verses from all the accounts about the events of Jesus’ life and ministry, sometimes we find ourselves behind and sometimes we find ourselves ahead of the daily chronological assigned reading plan.
Our study is moving us to events we have not yet read in the assigned chronological reading plan, as Matthew, whose timeline I’ve followed as he was an eyewitness to the events of Jesus’ life, places events earlier on the timeline than Mark or Luke, the writers of the other synoptic gospels. John was also an eyewitness, but his gospel has a dramatically different style and content than the other three gospels.
