M’Cheyne Bible Reading Plan
2 Thus the heavens and the Earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 For on the seventh day, God ended His work which He had made. And the seventh day, He rested from all His work which He had made.
3 So God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it; because on it, He had rested from all His work which God created and made.
4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the Earth - when they were created, on the day that the LORD God made the Earth and the heavens -
5 and every shrub of the field before it was in the earth; and every plant of the field, before it grew. For the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, nor was there a man to till the ground,
6 But a mist went up from the Earth; and watered all the Earth.
7 The LORD God also made the man from the dust of the ground and breathed in his face breath of life. And the man was a living soul.
8 And the LORD God planted a garden, eastward in Eden. And there He put the man whom He had made.
9 For out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the Tree of Life also in the midst of the garden and the Tree of Knowledge (of good and of evil).
10 And out of Eden went a river to water the garden. And from there it was divided and became four heads.
11 The name of the first, Pishon. The same runs through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 And the gold of that land is good. There is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second river, Gihon. The same runs through the whole land of Cush.
14 And the name of the third river, Hiddekel. This goes toward the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.15 Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden, so that he might dress it and keep it.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You shall eat freely from every tree of the garden.
17 “But from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat. For on the day that you eat of it, you shall surely die.”
18 Also the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make a perfect mate for him.”
19 So the LORD God formed from the earth every wild animal, and every bird of the sky; and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. For whatever the man named the living creature, so was its name.
20 Therefore, the man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every wild animal. But Adam found no perfect mate for himself.
21 Therefore, the LORD God caused a heavy sleep to fall upon the man. And he slept. And he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh in its place.
22 And with the rib which the LORD God had taken from the man, he made a woman. And he brought her to the man.
23 Then the man said, “This, now, is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called ‘woman’, because she was taken out of the man.
24 “Therefore, man shall leave his father and his mother and shall cling to his wife. And they shall be one flesh.”
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife. And they were not ashamed.
2 When Jesus then was born at Bethlehem in Judea, in the days of Herod the King, behold, wise men came from the east to Jerusalem,
2 saying, “Where is the King of the Jews Who is born? For we have seen His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”
3 When King Herod heard this, he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where Christ should be born.
5 And they said to him, “At Bethlehem in Judea. For so it is written by the Prophet,
6 ‘And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the Princes of Judah. For out of you shall come the Governor Who shall feed My people, Israel.’”
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men and carefully inquired of them the time that the star had appeared.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go, and search carefully for the Child. And when you have found Him, bring me word, that I may come also, and worship Him.”
9 So when they had heard the king, they departed. And lo, the star which they had seen in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over the place where the Child was.
10 And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with an exceedingly great joy.
11 And they went into the house, and found the Child (with Mary, his mother), and fell down and worshipped Him, and opened their treasures; and presented gifts to Him: gold and frankincense and myrrh.
12 And after they were warned by God in a dream not to return to Herod, they withdrew to their country by another way.
13 After their departure, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, and take the Child and His mother, and flee into Egypt. And stay there until I bring you word. For Herod will seek the Child to destroy Him.”
14 So he arose and took the Child and His mother by night and departed into Egypt.
15 And they were there until the death of Herod, so that which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, “Out of Egypt have I called my Son.”
16 Then Herod, seeing that he had been mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly enraged. And he sent forth and had put to death all the male children in Bethlehem and the surrounding territory who were two years old and under (according to the time which he had carefully determined from the wise men).
17 Then that which was spoken by the Prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled, which says,
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah - mourning and weeping and howling greatly - Rachel weeping for her children. And she would not be comforted, because they were no more.”
19 And when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in Egypt, in a dream,
20 saying, “Arise. And take the Child and His mother. And go into the land of Israel. For those who sought the Child’s life are dead.”
21 Then he rose up, and took the Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus reigned in Judea (instead of his father Herod) he was afraid to go there. But after he was warned by God in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee.
23 And he went and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, so that which was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, which says that He would be “called a Nazarite.”
2 Also, these are the sons of the province who went up out of the captivity (whom Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babel, had carried away to Babel) and who returned to Jerusalem, and to Judah, everyone to his city.

61 And of the sons of the priests were the sons of Habaiah, the sons of Koz, and the sons of Barzillai, who took of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite to wife and were called after their name.
62 These sought their writings in the genealogies, but they were not found. Therefore, they were cast out from the priesthood.
63 And Tirshatha told them that they should not eat of the Most Holy thing, until there rose up a priest with Urim and Thummim.

68 And certain of the chief fathers, when they came to the House of the LORD, which was in Jerusalem, they offered willingly for the House of God, to set it up upon its foundation.
69 They gave to the treasure of the work after their ability: sixty-one thousand drams of gold, five thousand pieces of silver, and one hundred priests’ garments.
70 So the priests and the Levites and some of the people and the singers and the gatekeepers and the Nethinim dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.
2 And when the Day of Pentecost had come, they were all of one mind, in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven as that of a rushing, mighty wind. And it filled all the house where they sat.
3 And tongues of fire appeared to them. And they were distributed and sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit declared.
5 And there were Jews dwelling at Jerusalem, men of every nation under heaven, who feared God.
6 Now when this was heard, the multitude came together and were astonished, because everyone heard them speak his own language.
7 And they all wondered, and marveled, saying among themselves, “Behold, are not all these who speak from Galilee?
8 “How then do we each hear our own language, with which we were born?
9 “Parthians and Medes and Elamites; and the inhabitants of Mesopotamia and of Judea and of Cappadocia of Pontus, and Asia,
10 “and of Phrygia and Pamphylia; of Egypt and of the parts of Libya which is beside Cyrene; and strangers of Rome and Jews and Proselytes,
11 “Cretans and Arabians. We heard them speak the wonderful works of God in our own tongues!”
12 Then they were all amazed, and doubted, saying to one another, “What could this mean?”
13 And others mocked them, and said, “They are full of new wine!”
14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said to them, “You men of Judea! All you who inhabit Jerusalem! Be it known to you and hear my words!
15 “For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.
16 “But this is that which was spoken by the Prophet Joel,
17 ‘And it shall be in the last days, says God, “I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh. And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. And your young men shall see visions. And your old men shall dream dreams.
18 “And on My servants, and on My handmaids, I will pour out My Spirit in those days. And they shall prophesy.
19 “And I will show wonders in Heaven above. And tokens in the Earth beneath - blood, and fire, and the vapors of smoke.
20 “The Sun shall be turned to darkness, and the Moon to blood, before that great and notable Day of the Lord comes.
21 “And it shall be, that whoever shall call on the Name of the Lord, shall be saved.”’
22 “You men of Israel! Hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a proven man of God among you, through great works and wonders and signs which God did through him in the midst of you (as you yourselves also know),
23 “whom, after you had taken, crucified and killed with wicked hands (being delivered by the determinate decree and foreknowledge of God),
24 “and Whom God has raised up, having released the sorrows of death because it was impossible for Him to be held by it,
25 “(for David says concerning Him, ‘I beheld the Lord always before me. For He is at my right hand, so that I should not be shaken.
26 ‘Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad, and moreover my flesh shall also rest in hope.
27 ‘Because You will not leave my soul in the grave. Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
28 ‘You have shown me the ways of life and shall make me full of joy with Your countenance.’
29 “Men, brothers, I may boldly say to you of the patriarch David that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher remains with us to this day.
30 “Therefore, seeing he was a Prophet, and knew that God had sworn an oath to him that He would raise up Christ in the flesh from the fruit of his loins, to set Him upon his throne,
31 “he, knowing this beforehand, spoke of the resurrection of Christ - that His soul should not be left in the grave, nor should His flesh see corruption.
32 “God has raised up this Jesus. Of which we are all witnesses.
33 “Therefore, since He has been exalted by the right hand of God and has received the promise of the Holy Ghost from His Father, He has poured out that which you now see and hear.
34 “For David has not ascended into the heaven, but he says, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand,
35 “Until I make Your enemies Your footstool.”’
36 “Therefore, let all the House of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ - this Jesus Whom you have crucified!”
37 Now when they heard it, they were pricked in their hearts, and said to Peter and the other Apostles, “Men, brothers, what shall we do?”
38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the Name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 “For the promise is made to you and to your children, and to all who are far away, as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
40 And he testified and exhorted them with many other words, saying, “Save yourselves from this perverse generation!”
41 Then those who gladly received his Word were baptized. And the same day there were added to them about three thousand souls.
42 And they continued in the Apostles’ doctrine, and fellowship, and breaking of bread, and prayers.
43 And fear came upon every soul. And many wonders and signs were done by the Apostles.
44 And all who believed were in one place and shared everything.
45 And they sold their possessions and goods and distributed them to anyone who had need.
46 And they continued daily, with one mind, in the Temple. And breaking bread at home, they ate their meals together, with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 praising God. And they had favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily, those who would be saved.
