M’Cheyne Bible Reading Plan
32 But when the people saw that Moses delayed in coming down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together against Aaron, and said to him, “Up! Make us gods to go before us! For we do not know what has become of this Moses (the man who brought us out of the land of Egypt).
2 And Aaron said to them, “Tear off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me.”
3 Then, all the people removed their golden earrings which were in their ears; and they brought them to Aaron.
4 He received them from their hands and fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made a molten calf from it. Then they said, “These are your gods, O Israel, which brought you out of the land of Egypt!”
5 When Aaron saw that, he made an altar before it. And Aaron proclaimed, saying, “Tomorrow shall be the holy day of the LORD.”
6 So, they rose up early the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings. Also, the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
7 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go down. For your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted their ways.
8 “They are soon turned out of the way which I commanded them. They have made a molten calf and have worshipped it, and have made offerings to it, saying, ‘These are your gods, O Israel, which have brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”
9 Again the LORD said to Moses, “I have seen this people. And behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
10 “Now, therefore, leave Me alone, so that My wrath may grow hot against them; for I will consume them. But, I will make of you a mighty people.”
11 But Moses prayed to the LORD his God, and said, “O LORD, why does Your wrath grow hot against Your people, which You have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
12 “Why should the Egyptians speak, and say, ‘He has brought them out maliciously, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the Earth?’ Turn from Your fierce wrath; and change Your mind from this evil toward Your people.
13 “Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants, to whom You swore by Your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your seed, as the stars of the sky. And I will give all this land, which I have spoken of, to your seed. And they shall inherit it forever.’”
14 Then the LORD changed His mind from the evil which He threatened to do to His people.
15 So, Moses returned and went down from the mountain with the two Tablets of the Testimony in his hand. The tablets were written on both their sides. They were written on one side and on the other.
16 And these Tablets were the work of God. And this writing was the writing of God, engraved on the Tablets.
17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people, as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is a noise of war in the camp.”
18 Who answered, “It is not the noise of those who have the victory, nor the noise of those who are overcome. I hear the noise of singing.”
19 Now, as soon as he came near the camp, he saw the calf and the dancing. So, Moses’ wrath grew hot; and he cast the Tablets out of his hands, and broke them in pieces, beneath the mountain.
20 Afterward, he took the calf which they had made and burned it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and scattered it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink it.
21 Also, Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you, that you have brought so great a sin upon them?”
22 Then Aaron answered, “Do not let the wrath of my Lord grow fierce. You know this people, that they are set on mischief.
23 “And they said to me, ‘Make us gods to go before us. For we do not know what has become of this Moses (the man who brought us out of the land of Egypt).’
24 “Then I said to them, ‘You who have gold, tear it off.’ And they brought it to me; and I cast it into the fire, and out came this calf.”
25 Therefore, Moses saw that the people were unrestrained (for Aaron had made them unrestrained, to their shame among their enemies).
26 And Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, “Whoever is with the LORD, come to me!” And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves to him.
27 Then he said to them, “Thus says the LORD God of Israel: ‘Let every man put his sword by his side and go back and forth, from gate to gate, throughout the camp. And let every man kill his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.”
28 So, the children of Levi did as Moses had commanded. And about three thousand men of the people fell that day.
29 For Moses had said, “Every man consecrate yourself to the LORD this day— even against your son, and against your brother — so that a blessing may be given to you this day.”
30 And when the morning came, Moses said to the people, “You have committed a grievous crime. But now I will go up to the LORD, to see if I may pacify Him for your sin.”
31 Therefore, Moses went back to the LORD, and said, “Oh, this people has sinned a great sin, and has made gods of gold for themselves.
32 “Now, therefore, if You will, pardon their sin. But if You will not, please blot me out of Your Book which You have written.”
33 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will put him out of My Book.
34 “Therefore, go now. Bring the people to the place which I commanded you. Behold, My Angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, on the day of My visitation, I will visit their sin upon them.”
35 So, the LORD plagued the people, because of what they did with the calf which Aaron made.
11 And a certain man was sick - Lazarus of Bethany (the town of Mary and her sister Martha).
2 And this was that same Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 Therefore, the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.”
4 When Jesus heard it, He said, “This sickness does not end in death, but is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God might be glorified by it.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 And after He had heard that he was sick, He still stayed two days in the same place where He was.
7 Then after that, He said to His disciples, “Let us go into Judea again.”
8 The disciples said to Him, “Master, the Jews sought to stone You recently, and yet You go there again?”
9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If someone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 “But if someone walks in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him.”
11 He spoke these things. And afterward, He said to them, “Our friend Lazarus sleeps. But I go to wake him up.”
12 Then His disciples said, “Lord, if he sleeps, he shall heal.”
13 However, Jesus spoke of his death. But they thought that He had spoken of the natural sleep.
14 Then Jesus said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
15 “And I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
16 Then said Thomas (who is called Didymus) to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with Him.”
17 Then Jesus came and found that he had already been in the grave four days.
18 (Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away.)
19 And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them for their brother.
20 Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him. But Mary still sat in the house.
21 Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 “But now, I also know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother shall rise again.”
24 “Martha said to Him, “I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection, at the last day.”
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.
26 “And whoever lives, and believes in Me, shall never die. Do you believe this?”
27 She said to Him, “Yes, Lord. I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, the One coming into the world.”
28 And when she had said this, she went her way, and secretly called Mary, her sister, saying, “The Master has come, and calls for you.”
29 And when she heard it, she arose quickly, and came to Him.
30 For Jesus had not yet come into the town but was in the place where Martha met Him.
31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house and comforted her, when they saw Mary (that she rose up hastily and went out) followed her, saying, “She goes to the grave, to weep there.”
32 Then, when Mary had come to where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 Therefore, when Jesus saw her weep (and also the Jews who came with her weep), He groaned in the spirit and was troubled in Himself,
34 and said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Jesus wept.
36 Then the Jews said, “Behold, how He loved him.”
37 And some of them said, “Could not He, who opened the eyes of the blind, have also made it so that this man should not have died?”
38 Therefore Jesus groaned in Himself again and came to the grave. And it was a cave. And a stone was laid upon it.
39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, he stinks already. For it has been four days.”
40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
41 Then they took away the stone where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up His eyes, and said, “Father, I thank You, because You have heard Me.
42 “I know that You always hear Me. But I said it because of the people who stand by, so that they may believe that You have sent Me.”
43 And having spoken these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus! Come forth!”
44 Then, the one who was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with bandages. And his face was bound with a handkerchief. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him! And let him go!”
45 Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed in Him.
46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what things Jesus had done.
47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What shall we do? For this Man does many miracles.
48 “If we let Him alone like this, all will believe in Him. And the Romans will come and take away both our place and the nation.
49 Then one of them, Caiaphas, who was the High Priest that same year, said to them, “You perceive nothing at all.
50 “Nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one Man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”
51 He spoke this, not of himself, but being High Priest that same year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation;
52 and not only for the nation, but that He would gather together the children of God who were scattered.
53 Then, from that day forth, they plotted to put Him to death.
54 Therefore Jesus walked openly no more among the Jews; but went from there to a country near the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and stayed there with His disciples.
55 And the Jews’ Passover was at hand. And many went out of the country before the Passover, up to Jerusalem, to purify themselves.
56 Then they sought for Jesus, and spoke among themselves as they stood in the Temple, “What do you think - that He will not come to the Feast?”
57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment that if anyone knew where He was, he should make it known, so that they might take Him.
8 Does not wisdom cry, and understanding utter her voice?
2 She stands in the top of the high places; by the way, in the place of the paths.
3 She cries at the gates, before the city, at the entry of the doors,
4 “O men, I call to you; and my voice to the children of man.
5 “O foolish, understand wisdom. And, O fools, be wise in heart.
6 “Give ear. For I will speak of excellent things. And the opening of my lips shall teach things that are right.
7 “For my mouth shall speak the truth. And my lips abhor wickedness.8 All the words of my mouth are righteous. There is no lewdness, nor perversion in them.
9 “They are all plain to those who will understand; and straight to those who would find knowledge.
10 “Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than fine gold.
11 “For wisdom is better than precious stones. And all pleasures are not to be compared to her.
12 “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence. And I find out knowledge and discretion.
13 “The fear of the LORD is to hate evil. I hate pride and arrogance and the evil way and a mouth that speaks lewd things.
14 “I have counsel and wisdom. I am understanding. I have strength.
15 “By me kings reign and princes decree justice.
16 “By me princes rule; and the nobles; and all the judges of the Earth.
17 “I love those who love me. And those who seek me early shall find me.
18 “Riches and honor are with me, durable riches and righteousness.
19 “My fruit is better than gold—than fine gold—and my revenues better than fine silver.
20 “I cause to walk in the way of righteousness; in the midst of the paths of judgment,
21 “that I may cause those who love me to inherit substance. And I will fill their treasures.
22 “The LORD has possessed me in the beginning of His way, before His works of old.
23 “I was set up from everlasting; from the beginning, before the Earth.
24 “I was begotten when there were no depths; when there were no fountains abounding with water;
25 “before the mountains were settled. Before the hills, was I begotten.
26 “He had not yet made the Earth, nor the open places, nor the height of the dust in the world.
27 “I was there when He prepared the heavens; when He set the compass upon the deep;
28 “when He established the clouds above; when He confirmed the fountains of the deep;
29 “when He gave His Decree to the sea that the waters should not pass His Commandment; when He appointed the foundations of the Earth.
30 “Then I was with Him, a nourisher. And I was His daily delight, rejoicing always before Him;
31 “and took my solace in the compass of His Earth, and my delight with the children of man.
32 “Therefore, now listen to me, O children. For blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 “Hear instruction and be wise. And do not refuse it. Blessed is the man who hears me; watching daily at my gates; giving attendance at the posts of my doors.
34 “For whoever finds me, finds life, and shall obtain favor from the LORD.
35 “But whoever sins against me, hurts his own soul. All who hate me, love death.”
1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, To the saints who are at Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Grace be with you, and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be God, and the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, Who has blessed us with all spiritual blessing in the Heavenly realms in Christ,
4 as He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love;
5 having predestined us to be adopted, through Jesus Christ, to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He has freely bestowed on us in the Beloved;
7 in Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace,
8 with which He has been abundant toward us in all wisdom and understanding;
9 and has made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure, which He has purposed in Him.
10 That in the dispensation of the fullness of the times, He might gather together all things in Christ, both in Heaven and on Earth;
11 in Whom we also have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according the counsel of His own will,
12 that we who first trusted in Christ, should be to the praise of His Glory;
13 in Whom also, you, having heard the Word of Truth, the Gospel of your salvation, and after having believed, were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14 Who is the guarantee of our inheritance, for the redemption of that acquired possession, to the praise of His Glory.
15 Therefore, also, after I heard of the faith which you have in the Lord Jesus, and love toward all the saints,
16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, might give to you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation through the knowledge of Him,
18 that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what the hope is of His calling, and what the riches are of His glorious inheritance in the saints,
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His strength;
20 which He worked in Christ when He raised him from the dead, and set Him at His right hand in the Heavenly realms,
21 far above every principality and power and might and domination, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in the coming one.
22 And all things have been put under His feet. And He has been given headship over all things of the Church,
23 which is His body - the fullness of Him Who fills all in all.
