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.

Join us as we read the Gospels

together. Now, normally, y'all know we read three chapters a day to get through the whole

four books in 30 days. But this month is a little different. We are mixing it up and reading

You can listen or read along in your own Bible,

and then I'll pray, and that's it.

Because of the crowd, he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him to keep the

people from crowding him.

For he had healed many so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him.

Whenever the impure spirit saw him, they fell down before him and

cried out, you are the son of God. But he gave them strict orders not to tell others about him.

Jesus chooses the 12 apostles from Mark. Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he

wanted, and they came to him. He appointed
