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 3:1 - 5:23: God calls Moses at the burning bush, reveals His name as I AM, and sends him to Pharaoh to free Israel with signs and Aaron's assistance. Moses returns to Egypt but faces Pharaoh's refusal, leading to increased hardship for the Israelites.
- Matthew 11:20-30: Jesus rebukes unrepentant Galilean cities for ignoring His works, pronounces woe on them, then thanks the Father for revealing truth to the lowly and offers rest to all who come to Him with His gentle yoke.
- Luke 7:36 - 8:3: A sinful woman washes Jesus' feet with tears and perfume at a Pharisee's home; Jesus forgives her through a parable about love and debt, commends her faith, and notes she is saved. Certain women, including Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Susanna, follow and support Jesus and the disciples from their own means.
