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 Luke 14; Genesis 49; Romans 2; 2 John 1; Ecclesiastes 8; Psalms 86; Proverbs 19; Nehemiah 10; Zechariah 4; Acts 12.

Luke 14

1	And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
2	And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
3	And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
4	And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
5	And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
6	And they could not answer him again to these things.
7	And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
8	When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him;
9	And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
10	But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
11	For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
12	Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbors; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.
13	But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
14	And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
15	And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16	Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
17	And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
18	And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
19	And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
20	And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21	So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
22	And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23	And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
24	For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
25	And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
26	If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27	And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28	For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
29	Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
30	Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
31	Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
32	Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth ambassadors, and desireth conditions of peace.
33	So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
34	Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
35	It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Genesis 49

1	And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.
2	Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
3	Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
4	Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.
5	Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
6	O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honor, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they digged down a wall.
7	Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
8	Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.
9	Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
10	The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
11	Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
12	His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
13	Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for a haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
14	Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
15	And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
16	Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17	Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
18	I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
19	Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
20	Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
21	Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
22	Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
23	The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24	But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel: )
25	Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
26	The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
27	Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
28	All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spoke unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
29	And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
30	In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burial place.
31	There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
32	The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.
33	And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.

Romans 2

1	Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
2	But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
3	And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4	Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
5	But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6	Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7	To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life:
8	But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9	Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10	But glory, honor, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11	For there is no respect of persons with God.
12	For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13	(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14	For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15	Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
16	In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
17	Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
18	And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
19	And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
20	An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
21	Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
22	Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
23	Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonorest thou God?
24	For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
25	For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26	Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27	And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfill the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
28	For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29	But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

2 John 1

1	The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
2	For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us forever.
3	Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4	I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5	And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6	And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
7	For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8	Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9	Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10	If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him Godspeed:
11	For he that biddeth him Godspeed is partaker of his evil deeds.
12	Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
13	The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.

Ecclesiastes 8

1	Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.
2	I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.
3	Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.
4	Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?
5	Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.
6	Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.
7	For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?
8	There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
9	All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt.
10	And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity.
11	Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
12	Though a sinner do evil a hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:
13	But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.
14	There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.
15	Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labor the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.
16	When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes: )
17	Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labor to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

Psalms 86

1	A Prayer of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2	Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3	Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
4	Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5	For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6	Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7	In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
8	Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
9	All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
10	For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
11	Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12	I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name forevermore.
13	For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
14	O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
15	But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16	O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17	Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.

Proverbs 19

1	Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
2	Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
3	The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.
4	Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbor.
5	A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
6	Many will entreat the favor of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
7	All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.
8	He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9	A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
10	Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11	The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12	The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favor is as dew upon the grass.
13	A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14	House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15	Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16	He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
17	He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
18	Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
19	A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
20	Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21	There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
22	The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
23	The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
24	A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25	Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
26	He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
27	Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
28	An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
29	Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

8	Maaziah, Bilgai, Shemaiah: these were the priests.
9	And the Levites: both Jeshua the son of Azaniah, Binnui of the sons of Henadad, Kadmiel;
10	And their brethren, Shebaniah, Hodijah, Kelita, Pelaiah, Hanan,
11	Micha, Rehob, Hashabiah,
12	Zaccur, Sherebiah, Shebaniah,
13	Hodijah, Bani, Beninu.

27	Malluch, Harim, Baanah.
28	And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinims, and all they that had separated themselves from the people of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having understanding;
29	They cleaved to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes;
30	And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons:
31	And if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day: and that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.
32	Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God;
33	For the shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.
34	And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the law:
35	And to bring the firstfruits of our ground, and the firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, unto the house of the LORD:
36	Also the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, unto the priests that minister in the house of our God:
37	And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.
38	And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house.
39	For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God.

Zechariah 4

1	And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
2	And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
3	And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4	So I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
5	Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
6	Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
7	Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
8	Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9	The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
10	For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
11	Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
12	And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13	And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
14	Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

Acts 12

1	Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
2	And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3	And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
4	And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
5	Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
6	And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
7	And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
8	And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
9	And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
10	When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
11	And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12	And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
13	And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
14	And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
15	And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
