This is part of a year-long chronological reading of the Bible in a harmonized format, blending Old and New Testament passages to follow the biblical timeline.
- Exodus 1:1 - 2:25: Israel grows numerous in Egypt, but a new Pharaoh enslaves them and orders the death of newborn boys. Moses is born, rescued, raised in Pharaoh's court, flees to Midian after killing an Egyptian, marries Zipporah, and God hears the people's groaning.
- Luke 7:18-35: John's disciples ask Jesus if He is the one to come; Jesus replies by pointing to His miracles and blesses those not offended by Him. He declares John the greatest prophet yet says the least in the kingdom of God is greater, then rebukes the generation for rejecting both John's austerity and His own openness.
