M’Cheyne Bible Reading Plan
22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin and touch the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.
23 For the LORD will pass through smiting the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood upon the lintel and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over that door and will not allow the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons forever.
25 And it shall come to pass, when ye have entered into the land which the LORD will give you, according as he has promised, that ye shall keep this service.
26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What do you mean by this service?
27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD’s passover, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians and delivered our houses. Then the people bowed and worshipped.
28 And the sons of Israel went away, and as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
29 ¶ And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the animals.
30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his slaves and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the sons of Israel, and go, serve the LORD as ye have said.
32 Also take your sheep and your cows, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people that they might send them out of the land in haste, for they said, We are all dead men.
34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
35 And the sons of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked the Egyptians for vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing.
36 And the LORD gave the people grace in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they gave unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
37 ¶ And the sons of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, not counting the children.
38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them and many sheep and cows.
39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened because they were thrust out of Egypt and could not tarry nor prepare food for themselves.
40 Now the time that the sons of Israel dwelt in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even that same day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
42 It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this night should be observed unto the LORD by all the sons of Israel in their ages.
43 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This shall be the ordinance of the passover: No stranger shall eat of it,
44 but every man’s slave that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.
45 The foreigner and the hired servant shall not eat of it.
46 It shall be eaten in one house; thou shalt not carry forth any of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
47 All the congregation of Israel shall make this sacrifice.
48 And if a stranger shall sojourn with thee and desire to make the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and make this sacrifice; and he shall be as one that is natural in the land, but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
49 The same law shall be for the one who is natural, and for the stranger that sojourns among you.
50 Thus did all the sons of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
51 And it came to pass that same day that the LORD did bring the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.
15 ¶ Then all the publicans and sinners drew near unto him to hear him.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receives sinners and eats with them.
3 And he spoke this parable unto them, saying,
4 What man of you having a hundred sheep if he lose one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after that which is lost until he finds it?
5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 I say unto you that likewise there shall be more joy in heaven over one sinner that repents than over ninety-nine just persons, who need no repentance.
8 Or what woman having ten drachmas, if she loses one drachma, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it?
9 And when she has found it, she calls her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost.
10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents.
11 ¶ And he said, A certain man had two sons;
12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of the estate that falls to me. And he divided unto them his living.
13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country and there wasted his estate with riotous living.
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 And he longed to fill his belly with the husks that the swine ate, but no one gave them unto him.
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have abundance of bread, and I perish here with hunger!
18 I will arise and go to my father and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee
19 and am no longer worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hired servants.
20 And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.
21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight and am no longer worthy to be called thy son.
22 But the father said to his slaves, Bring forth the best robe and put it on him and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet
23 and bring here the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and be merry;
24 for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 Now his elder son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.
27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come, and thy father has killed the fatted calf because he has received him safe and sound.
28 And he was angry and would not go in, therefore his father came out and intreated him.
29 And he, answering, said to his father, Behold, these many years I have served thee, neither at any time have I transgressed thy commandment; and yet thou never gavest me a kid that I might make merry with my friends.
30 But as soon as this thy son was come who has devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed the fatted calf for him.
31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art always with me, and all that I have is thine.
32 It was necessary that we should make merry and be glad, for this thy brother was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.
30 ¶ But now those that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.
2 For, unto what might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom time was lost?
3 For want and famine they walked alone; fleeing into solitude, to the dark place, desolate and waste.
4 Who cut up mallows among the bushes and juniper roots for their food.
5 They were driven forth from among men (they cried after them as after a thief).
6 They dwelt in the clifts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
7 Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
8 They were sons of fools and men without names; they were lower than the earth.
9 And now I am their song, and I am their byword.
10 They abhor me, they distance themselves from me, and do not spare to spit in my face.
11 Because God has loosed my cord and afflicted me, they have also gone out of control before my face.
12 Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.
13 They cast down my path, they took advantage of my calamity, against them there was no helper.
14 They came in as through a wide breach; they were stirred up because of my calamity.
15 ¶ They have loosed terrors upon me; they fought my will as the wind and my saving health as a cloud that passes.
16 And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
17 My bones pierce me in the night, and my sinews take no rest.
18 By the great force of my disease my garment is changed; it binds me about as the collar of my coat.
19 He has cast me into the mire, and I have become like dust and ashes.
20 I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me; I present myself, and thou regardest me not.
21 Thou art become cruel to me; with the strength of thy hand thou dost hate me.
22 Thou didst lift me up and cause me to ride upon the wind, and didst dissolve my being.
23 For I know that thou dost conduct me unto death and to the house appointed for all living.
24 But he will not stretch out his hand against the grave; do those who are buried cry out when he destroys them?
25 Did I not weep for the one that was in trouble? Was not my soul grieved for the needy?
26 When I expected good, then evil came unto me; and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
27 My bowels boil and do not rest; the days of affliction came upon me.
28 I went about darkened, but not by the sun; I stood up and cried out in the congregation.
29 I have become a brother to dragons and a companion to owls.
30 My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.
31 My harp is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of those that weep.
16 ¶ Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the congregations {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of Galatia, do ye likewise.
2 Each first sabbath let each one of you set aside in store, as God has prospered him, that there be no collections when I come.
3 And when I come, whomever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
4 And if it is appropriate that I go also, they shall go with me.
5 ¶ Now I will come unto you, when I have passed through Macedonia, for I must pass through Macedonia.
6 And it may be that I will abide and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey wherever I go.
7 For I desire not to see you now in passing, but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permits.
8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9 For a great and effectual door is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
10 ¶ Now if Timothy comes, see that he may stay with you securely, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.
11 Let no man therefore despise him, but conduct him forth in peace that he may come unto me, for I look for him with the brothers.
12 As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with some of the brothers, but his will was not at all to come at this time, but he will come when he shall have opportunity.
13 ¶ Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.
14 Let all your things be done with charity.
15 I beseech you, brethren (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia and that they have dedicated themselves to the ministry of the saints),
16 that ye submit yourselves unto such and to each one that helps and labours.
17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, for they have filled your absence.
18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours; therefore, acknowledge ye those that are such.
19 ¶ The congregations {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} that is in their house.
20 All the brothers greet you. Greet ye one another with a holy kiss.
21 The salutation of me, Paul, is with my own hand.
22 If any man does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema. Our Lord has come.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24 My charity in Christ Jesus be with you all. Amen.
