Daily Bible Reading Podcast

GENESIS 31: Yesterday we heard of the rivalry between Rachel and Leah, and about more sons for Jacob— whose names all have meanings appropriate to what Rachel or Leah were feeling at the time.

JOB 18: Yesterday Job again complained that he was surrounded by mockers, and despairingly again said

15 Where is there any hope for me? Who sees any? 16 Hope will not go with me when I go down to the world of the dead.

MARK 11: Jesus has by now prepared his disciples for his death by prophesying about it, and by teaching them about what it will be like to ‘lead’ in His kingdom. And he healed Bartimaeus, who called Jesus by his Messianic title: the Son of David.

NLT Translation notes: 22 Then Jesus said to the disciples, “[Believe fully//Have faith] in God. 32 But [we don’t//do we] dare say it was merely human[, do we/0]?” For they were afraid of what the people would do, because everyone [in that crowd//0] believed that John was a prophet.
