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

books of the New Testament, 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 and here we are today finishing the last

of the four books in the month of October. Make sure you're subscribed. Join us as we read

the Gospels together. If you get a chance as we're finishing up this month's reading,

I'd appreciate it so much if you would rate and review the show and share it on social media,

chapters 23 and 24 and this month I have loved reading from the NRSV Catholic edition.

and saying that he himself is the Messiah, a king. Then Pilate asked him, are you the king of the Jews?

He answered, you say so. Then Pilate said to the chief priest in the crowds, I find no basis for

an accusation against this man, but they were insistent and said he stirs up the people by

teaching throughout all of Judea from Galilee where he began even to this place. When Pilate heard

this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean and when he learned that he was under Herod's
