Hi, friends. I'm Annie F. Downs. Let's read the Gospels. The Gospels are the first four books in 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 subscribe today. Join us as we read the Gospels together.

This month, in March, is wild, you guys. It is so fun. We love how much are enjoying it. We are too.

We're reading the Gospels in chronological order. That means instead of reading a book at a time, we're mixing them all up together.

And today, we go to a lot of places. And what that also means is that there are a lot of times we are going to hear multiple versions of the same story.

Today is a great day to really pay attention to which stories repeat and which should only one gospel writer tell us.

And when the stories do repeat what details do you see over and over? It's so fascinating. I think you are going to love today.

Hey, if you want to read along, get our March reading plan or get the Let's Read the Gospels guidebook with a lot of great resources at Annie F. Downs.com slash Gospels.

So today is March 5th, day 5. This is all about Jesus's early ministry.

Okay. Everything we're going to read today are miracles in ministry of Jesus. Listen to all the places we're going.

March 1, 14 and 15. Matthew 4, 12 through 17. Luke 3, 23. John 4, 46 through 54. Luke 4, 16 through 30.

Mark 1, 16 through 20. Matthew 4, 18 through 22. Mark 1, 21 through 28. Luke 4, 31 through 37.

We're hitting all that today, you guys. I think you're going to love it. This month, I am reading from the new living translation.

This is day 5 in chronological order. The ministry of Jesus begins from Mark.

Later on, after John was arrested, Jesus went into Galilee where he preached God's good news.

The time promised by God has come at last. He announced the kingdom of God is near, repent of your sins and believe the good news from Matthew.

When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he left Judea and returned to Galilee.

He went first to Nazareth, then left there and moved to Capernaum beside the sea of Galilee in the region of Zebulin and Neftali.

This fulfilled what God said through the prophet Isaiah in the land of Zebulin and of Neftali beside the sea beyond the Jordan River.
