This is part of a year-long reading of the Bible chronologically in a harmonized format.
Exodus 6:1 - 7:25
- God promises Moses that Pharaoh will eventually release Israel under strong pressure and reaffirms the covenant with the name LORD.
- Moses and Aaron perform signs before Pharaoh, including the staff turning into a serpent, but Pharaoh's heart remains hard.
Matthew 12:22-37
- Jesus casts out a demon from a blind and mute man, leading crowds to question if He is the Messiah while Pharisees accuse Him of using Satan's power.
- Jesus defends His ministry, warns that speaking against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable, and teaches that words reflect the heart's condition.
