Hi, friends. I am Annie F. Downs. Let's read the Gospels. The Gospels are the first four

books of the New Testament in the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These are the stories

of Jesus Christ's life on earth, the friendships, the parables, the sacrifices, the meals, the

miracles. We will read three chapters a day and finish in 30 days, usually. So each month

we'll read all four books, but February, obviously, you'll be a little bit different

as we need to finish in 28 days. So a few days, like yesterday, we will read a little

be with us all month. But something we say around here a lot is you don't have to read

the Gospels every day to be changed, but every day you read the Gospels will change you.

are partway through the book of Matthew. If you would like the reading plan printed out

for you or to grab our Let's Read the Gospels guidebook, just head to AnnieFdowns.com slash

Gospels. All right, are you ready? Let me share with you how this is going to go. I will

read three chapters to you today. You can listen or read along in your own Bible and

then I'll pray. And that's it. So today is February 4th, day four. And I'll be reading

Matthew chapters 11 through 13. And the translation I'm reading from this month is the ESV.

Matthew 11. When Jesus had finished instructing his 12 disciples, he went on from there to

teach and preach in their cities. Now, when John heard in prison about the deeds of the
