Hi friends I'm 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 get to read all four books.

I love it.

We're having the best time and this week we are finishing up the book of Luke.

Make sure you subscribe and join us as we read the Gospels together.

So here's how this is going to work.

I will read 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 October 24th and I'll be reading Luke Chapter 5 through 7 and this month I'm reading from the

NRSV Catholic Edition.

Luke 5.

Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Ganesterate

and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God.

He saw two boats there at the shore of the lake.

The fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.

He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore.

Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.

When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon,

put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.

Simon answered, Master, we have worked all night long, but have caught nothing.

Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets.
