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

we read the Gospels together. As we finish up the book of Mark today and finish up this

month's reading plan, I just want to tell you I'm so proud of you. Well done. You did

you and every month you're in the Gospels will change you. So well done. We will dive

straight into August on Tuesday. I'll have everything available for you to share and invite

work. I'll read the final 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 July 30, day 30. And

I'll be reading Mark chapters 14 through 16. And this month, I am reading from the CSB.

Mark 14. It was two days before the Passover and the festival of unleavened bread. The

chief priest and the scribes were looking for a cunning way to arrest Jesus and kill him.

Not during the festival, they said so that there won't be a riot among the people. While
