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

0:36.1

of the New Testament in the Bible,

0:41.5

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These are the stories of Jesus Christ's life on earth,

0:47.2

the friendships, the parables, the sacrifices, the meals, the miracles. So here is how it works.

0:51.4

I'll read three chapters to you. You can listen or read along in your own Bible or online,

0:56.7

and then I'll pray, and that's it. Today is day 23. And I'll be reading Matthew 6 through 8 in the new living translation. And we are on page 151 if you've got your

1:44.8

I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get. But when you pray, go away by yourself. Shut the door

1:50.4
