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 John 10; Deuteronomy 5; 2 Corinthians 1; Titus 2; Job 35; Psalms 45; Proverbs 4; 2 Samuel 16; Jeremiah 29; Acts 9.

John 10

1	Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2	But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3	To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4	And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5	And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6	This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7	Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8	All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9	I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10	The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11	I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12	But he that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13	The hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14	I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15	As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16	And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17	Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18	No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
19	There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
20	And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
21	Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22	And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
23	And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
24	Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25	Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
26	But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27	My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28	And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29	My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
30	I and my Father are one.
31	Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32	Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33	The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34	Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods
35	If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken;
36	Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
37	If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38	But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
39	Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
40	And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
41	And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
42	And many believed on him there.

Deuteronomy 5

1	And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.
2	The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3	The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
4	The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,
5	(I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,
6	I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
7	Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
8	Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
9	Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
10	And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
11	Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
12	Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.
13	Six days thou shalt labor, and do all thy work:
14	But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
15	And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
16	Honor thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
17	Thou shalt not kill.
18	Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
19	Neither shalt thou steal.
20	Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor.
21	Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbor's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbor's.
22	These words the LORD spoke unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.
23	And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
24	And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath showed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.
25	Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.
26	For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
27	Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.
28	And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spoke unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.
29	O that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children forever!
30	Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.
31	But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
32	Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
33	Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.

2 Corinthians 1

1	Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
2	Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3	Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
4	Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
5	For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
6	And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
7	And our hope of you is steadfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
8	For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
9	But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
10	Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
11	Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
12	For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
13	For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;
14	As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
15	And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;
16	And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judea.
17	When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
18	But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
19	For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
20	For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
21	Now he which establisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
22	Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23	Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
24	Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

Titus 2

1	But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2	That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3	The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4	That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5	To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6	Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7	In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8	Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
9	Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10	Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
11	For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12	Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13	Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ;
14	Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15	These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

Job 35

1	Elihu spoke moreover, and said,
2	Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?
3	For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
4	I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
5	Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
6	If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
7	If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
8	Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
9	By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
10	But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
11	Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
12	There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
13	Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
14	Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
15	But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
16	Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

Psalms 45

1	To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2	Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee forever.
3	Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
4	And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5	Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
6	Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: the scepter of thy kingdom is a right scepter.
7	Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8	All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
9	Kings' daughters were among thy honorable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10	Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;
11	So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
12	And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.
13	The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
14	She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
15	With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.
16	Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
17	I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee forever and ever.

Proverbs 4

1	Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
2	For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
3	For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
4	He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
5	Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
6	Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
7	Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
8	Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her.
9	She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
10	Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
11	I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
12	When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
13	Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
14	Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
15	Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
16	For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
17	For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
18	But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
19	The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
20	My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21	Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22	For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
23	Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
24	Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
25	Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
26	Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
27	Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

2 Samuel 16

1	And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred bunches of raisins, and a hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
2	And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
3	And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, Today shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
4	Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.
5	And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
6	And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
7	And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial:
8	The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.
9	Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.
10	And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
11	And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.
12	It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.
13	And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
14	And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
15	And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
16	And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.
17	And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?
18	And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
19	And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.
20	Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.
21	And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong.
22	So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
23	And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counseled in those days, was as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.

Jeremiah 29

1	Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;
2	(After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;)
3	By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,
4	Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon;
5	Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;
6	Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.
7	And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
8	For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.
9	For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.
10	For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
11	For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
12	Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
13	And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
14	And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
15	Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;
16	Know that thus saith the LORD of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;
17	Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
18	And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:
19	Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.
20	Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:
21	Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;
22	And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;
23	Because they have committed villainy in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbors' wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the LORD.
24	Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,
25	Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
26	The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and in the stocks.
27	Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you?
28	For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
29	And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
30	Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
31	Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:
32	Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD.

Acts 9

1	And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2	And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
3	And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4	And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5	And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6	And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7	And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
8	And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9	And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
10	And there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
11	And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
12	And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
13	Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14	And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
15	But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
16	For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
17	And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18	And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
19	And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
20	And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
21	But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
22	But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
23	And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:
24	But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
25	Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.
26	And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
27	But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28	And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
29	And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
30	Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
31	Then had the churches rest throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
32	And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
33	And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
34	And Peter said unto him, Aeneas Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
35	And all that dwelt at Lydda and Sharon saw him, and turned to the Lord.
36	Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
37	And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
38	And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
39	Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
40	But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41	And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
42	And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
43	And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
