Scripture Reading Plan

  • This week, we’ll temporarily conclude our reading of Matthew and transition to Mark. We’ve decided to skip the last portions of Luke and Matthew for now because we’ll be reading them during Lent.

  • Mark is the first Gospel written. Many of the narratives in Mark are similar to those in Luke and Matthew because they used Mark’s writing as a reference. However, Mark’s writing is much faster-paced and more concise compared to them. As you read Mark this week, try to notice how Mark portrays Jesus differently from Luke and Matthew.

  • Reading Plan for this week:

    • Feb 23 (Sunday) Mark 1:1-45

    • Feb 24 (Monday) Mark 2:1-28

    • Feb 25 (Tuesday) Mark 3:1-35

    • Feb 26 (Wednesday) Mark 4:1-41

    • Feb 27 (Thursday) Mark 5:1-43

    • Feb 28 (Friday) Mark 6:1-56

    • Mar 1 (Saturday) Mark 7:1-37

    • Mar 2 (Sunday) Mark 8:1-36
