Chronological Plan

Read the Bible in the order that the events happened.

Today, we are reading Matthew 4; Luke 4-5; John 1:15-51.

Matthew 4

1	Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2	And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward hungry.
3	And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4	But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5	Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6	And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7	Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8	Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9	And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10	Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11	Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
12	Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
13	And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali:
14	That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15	The land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
16	The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
17	From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18	And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
19	And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20	And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
21	And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
22	And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
23	And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
24	And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
25	And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond Jordan.

John 1

15	John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16	And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17	For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18	No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
19	And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
20	And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
21	And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.
22	Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23	He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
24	And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
25	And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elijah, neither that prophet?
26	John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
27	He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
28	These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29	The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
30	This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
31	And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
32	And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
33	And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
34	And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
35	Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
36	And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
37	And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38	Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
39	He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
40	One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41	He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
42	And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
43	The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
44	Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45	Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46	And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
47	Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
48	Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49	Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
50	Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
51	And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
