Professor Horner’s Reading Plan

Read through the Bible in one year by reading 10 chapters a day from 10 different sections of the Bible using the Professor Grant Horner Bible reading plan.

Today, we are reading Mark 10; Genesis 29; Philippians 3; Titus 3; Job 30; Psalms 66; Proverbs 30; 2 Chronicles 36; Micah 2; Acts 20.

Mark 10

1	And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.
2	And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.
3	And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
4	And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
5	And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
6	But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7	For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8	And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
9	What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
10	And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.
11	And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
12	And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
13	And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14	But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15	Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
16	And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
17	And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
18	And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
19	Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honor thy father and mother.
20	And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
21	Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
22	And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
23	And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
24	And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
25	It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26	And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
27	And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
28	Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
29	And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
30	But he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
31	But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
32	And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,
33	Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
34	And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
35	And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.
36	And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
37	They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.
38	But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39	And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
40	But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.
41	And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.
42	But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
43	But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
44	And whosoever of you will be the chiefest shall be servant of all.
45	For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
46	And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.
47	And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
48	And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
49	And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
50	And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
51	And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
52	And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

Genesis 29

1	Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
2	And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well's mouth.
3	And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in his place.
4	And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
5	And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
6	And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
7	And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
8	And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.
9	And while he yet spoke with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.
10	And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
11	And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12	And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.
13	And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
14	And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
15	And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for naught? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
16	And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17	Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.
18	And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19	And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
20	And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
21	And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
22	And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23	And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
24	And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for a handmaid.
25	And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
26	And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27	Fulfill her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
28	And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29	And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
30	And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
31	And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
32	And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
33	And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
34	And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
35	And she conceived again, and bore a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.

Philippians 3

1	Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
2	Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3	For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4	Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5	Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6	Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7	But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8	Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9	And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10	That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11	If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12	Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13	Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14	I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15	Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16	Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17	Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an example.
18	(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19	Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20	For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21	Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Titus 3

1	Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2	To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men.
3	For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4	But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared,
5	Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6	Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior;
7	That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8	This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
9	But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10	A man that is a heretic after the first and second admonition reject;
11	Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
12	When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
13	Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
14	And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
15	All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.

Job 30

1	But now they 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	Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?
3	For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
4	Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.
5	They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)
6	To dwell in the clefts 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 children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.
9	And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
10	They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.
11	Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.
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 mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.
14	They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.
15	Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.
16	And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
17	My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.
18	By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
19	He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.
20	I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.
21	Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.
22	Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.
23	For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.
24	Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.
25	Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?
26	When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
27	My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.
28	I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.
29	I am 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 also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.

Psalms 66

1	To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
2	Sing forth the honor of his name: make his praise glorious.
3	Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
4	All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
5	Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
6	He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
7	He ruleth by his power forever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
8	O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
9	Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
10	For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
11	Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.
12	Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
13	I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
14	Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
15	I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
16	Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
17	I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
18	If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
19	But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20	Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

Proverbs 30

1	The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spoke unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
2	Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.
3	I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
4	Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
5	Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6	Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
7	Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:
8	Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
9	Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
10	Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.
11	There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
12	There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
13	There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
14	There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
15	The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:
16	The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
17	The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
18	There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
19	The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
20	Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
21	For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
22	For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;
23	For an odious woman when she is married; and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
24	There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
25	The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
26	The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27	The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28	The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
29	There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
30	A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
31	A greyhound; a he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
32	If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
33	Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

2 Chronicles 36

1	Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.
2	Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
3	And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4	And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
5	Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
6	Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
7	Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
8	Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
9	Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
10	And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11	Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
12	And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD.
13	And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD God of Israel.
14	Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
15	And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up quickly, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:
16	But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
17	Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.
18	And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon.
19	And they burnt the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.
20	And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:
21	To fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfill threescore and ten years.
22	Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
23	Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.

Micah 2

1	Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2	And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house even a man and his heritage.
3	Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
4	In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
5	Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.
6	Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
7	O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
8	Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
9	The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory forever.
10	Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
11	If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
12	I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
13	The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.

Acts 20

1	And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.
2	And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,
3	And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.
4	And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5	These going before tarried for us at Troas.
6	And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
7	And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
8	And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.
9	And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
10	And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
11	When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
12	And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
13	And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.
14	And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
15	And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.
16	For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
17	And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
18	And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
19	Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
20	And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,
21	Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
22	And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
23	Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
24	But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
25	And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
26	Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
27	For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28	Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29	For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30	Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31	Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
32	And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
33	I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
34	Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35	I have showed you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
36	And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
37	And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,
38	Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
