The Reading Plan for The Gospels
[Year 2, January - May]
These readings jump around a lot from Matthew (Mt) Mark (Mk) Luke (Lk) and John (Jn) to keep the story of Jesus as chronological as possible. Related events are grouped together as much as possible as well.
* Indicates a change from the original scheduled readings in the Bookmarks.
