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.

Each month, we're going to read all four books. So go ahead and make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss any of it and rate and review the show if you get a chance.

So we're reading the Gospels this month in chronological order, which has been really fun to hear multiple accounts of the same story from different authors.

We got to pay attention a little bit closer and listen real close, but it has been really interesting to see the differences.

Okay, this means that if you want to read along, you definitely want our March reading plan so you can see what we're reading.

And you can get that at Annie F. Downs.com slash Gospels. Also, that's where you find the let's read the Gospels guidebook.

So each day, I'm going to tell you the scripture references and the stories are the main themes that we will hit.

So today is March 11th, day 11, and I will be reading Mark chapter 5, 21 through 43, Matthew 9, 18 through 26, Luke 8, 40 to 56, Matthew 9, 27 to 34,

Mark 6, 1 through 6, Matthew 13, 53 to 58, Matthew 9, 35 to 38, Mark 6, 7 through 13, Mark 10, 1 through 42, and Luke 9, 1 through 6.

Today we get to hear Jesus heal a lot of people and send out his disciples.

The translation I'm reading from this month is the new living translation.

This is day 11 in chronological order. Jesus heals in response to faith from Mark.

Jesus got into the boat again and went back to the other side of the lake where a large crowd gathered around him on the shore.

Then a leader of the local synagogue whose name was gyrus arrived when he saw Jesus he fell at his feet pleading fervently with him.

My little daughter is dying. He said, please come and lay your hands on her heal her so she can live.

Jesus went with him and all the people followed crowding around him.

A woman in the crowd had suffered for 12 years with constant bleeding.

She had suffered a great deal for many doctors and over the years she had spent everything she had to pay them, but she had gotten no better.

In fact, she had gotten worse. She had heard about Jesus so she came up behind him through the crowd and touched his robe.

For she thought to herself, if I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.

Immediately the bleeding stopped and she could feel in her body that she had been healed of her terrible condition.
