This is part of a year-long reading of the Bible chronologically in a harmonized format.
Exodus 8:1 - 9:35
- God sends plagues of frogs, gnats, flies, livestock death, boils, and hail; Pharaoh repeatedly hardens his heart after temporary relief.
- Each plague increases in severity, yet Pharaoh refuses to let Israel go completely.
Mark 3:20-30
- Jesus' family thinks He is out of His mind as crowds press Him; scribes claim He casts out demons by Beelzebul's authority.
- Jesus explains a divided kingdom cannot stand, describes binding the strong man, and warns that blaspheming the Holy Spirit has no forgiveness.
Luke 11:14-23
- Jesus expels a demon causing muteness; some marvel while others accuse Him of working by Beelzebul.
- He refutes the accusation logically and states that whoever does not gather with Him scatters.
