Bible In A Year

¹> How lovely are your dwellings, Yahweh of Hosts!

²My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

³Yes, the sparrow has found a home, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, Near your altars, Yahweh of Hosts, my King, and my God.

⁴Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. Selah.

⁵Blessed are those whose strength is in you; Who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.

⁶Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.

⁷They go from strength to strength. Everyone of them appears before God in Zion.

⁸Yahweh, God of hosts, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. Selah.

⁹Behold, God our shield, Look at the face of your anointed.

¹⁰For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

¹¹For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

¹²Yahweh of Hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in you.

¹"Don't judge, so that you won't be judged. ²For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you. ³Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but don't consider the beam that is in your own eye? ⁴Or how will you tell your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye;' and behold, the beam is in your own eye? ⁵You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye. ⁶"Don't give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces. ⁷"Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. ⁸For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened. ⁹Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent? ¹¹If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! ¹²Therefore whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets. ¹³"Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it. ¹⁴How{TR reads "Because" instead of "How"} narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it. ¹⁵"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. ¹⁶By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? ¹⁷Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit. ¹⁸A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit. ¹⁹Every tree that doesn't grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire. ²⁰Therefore, by their fruits you will know them. ²¹Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. ²²Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?' ²³Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.' ²⁴"Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock. ²⁵The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn't fall, for it was founded on the rock. ²⁶Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn't do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand. ²⁷The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell--and great was its fall." ²⁸It happened, when Jesus had finished saying these things, that the multitudes were astonished at his teaching, ²⁹for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.

¹When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. ²Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean." ³Jesus stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I want to. Be made clean." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. ⁴Jesus said to him, "See that you tell nobody, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them." ⁵When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him, ⁶and saying, "Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented." ⁷Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him." ⁸The centurion answered, "Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed. ⁹For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and tell another, 'Come,' and he comes; and tell my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." ¹⁰When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed, "Most assuredly I tell you, I haven't found so great a faith, not even in Israel. ¹¹I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven, ¹²but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth." ¹³Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed." His servant was healed in that hour. ¹⁴When Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying sick with a fever. ¹⁵He touched her hand, and the fever left her. She got up and served him.{TR reads "them" instead of "him"} ¹⁶When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick; ¹⁷that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: "He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases." ¹⁸Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side. ¹⁹A scribe came, and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go." ²⁰Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head." ²¹Another of his disciples said to him, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father." ²²But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead." ²³When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him. ²⁴Behold, a great tempest arose in the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves, but he was asleep. ²⁵They came to him, and woke him up, saying, "Save us, Lord! We are dying!" ²⁶He said to them, "Why are you fearful, oh you of little faith?" Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm. ²⁷The men marveled, saying, "What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?" ²⁸When he came to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass by that way. ²⁹Behold, they cried out, saying, "What do we have to do with you, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?" ³⁰Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them. ³¹The demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs." ³²He said to them, "Go!" They came out, and went into the herd of pigs: and behold, the whole herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the water. ³³Those who fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons. ³⁴Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.
