John 3:25–4:54; Matthew 4:12–25; 8:1–4, 14–17; 9:1–8 A dispute over purification sends John's disciples to him one last time, and he points to Jesus again before stepping off the stage of this story. Word reaches Jesus that John has been arrested, and he leaves Judea for Galilee, resting at a well in Samaria along the way, where a woman he's never met recognizes him as the Christ. Back in Galilee, a royal official begs him to heal his dying son, and Jesus settles in Capernaum, calling two pairs of fishermen brothers away from their nets. He heals Peter's mother-in-law of a fever, cleanses a leper with a touch, and heals a paralyzed man lowered through a roof, his fame spreading through the whole region. We are in a Matthew-John Harmony. Today's episode covers: John 3:25–4:54, Matthew 4:12–25, 8:1–4, 14–17, 9:1–8 (John's final testimony, the woman at the well, the calling of the first fishermen, and a series of early Galilean healings).
Matthew 4:1–11; John 1:19–3:24 Fresh from his baptism, Jesus fasts forty days in the wilderness before the devil comes to tempt him. Meanwhile, John the Baptist tells the priests who he is not, then points out who Jesus is — the Lamb of God. Two of John's own followers leave to follow Jesus instead, and word spreads quickly through Galilee. At a wedding in Cana, Jesus turns water into wine, his first public sign, before traveling to Jerusalem for the Passover, where he drives the money-changers from the temple courts. That night, a Pharisee named Nicodemus comes to him in secret, and Jesus tells him that no one can see the kingdom of God without being born again. We are in a Matthew-John Harmony. Today's episode covers: Matthew 4:1–11, John 1:19–3:24 (the Temptation, John the Baptist's testimony, the first disciples, the wedding at Cana, the cleansing of the temple, and Nicodemus).
John 1:1–18; Matthew 1:1–3:17 Before Matthew's own account begins, John reaches back to the very beginning, introducing Jesus as the eternal Word who became flesh. Matthew then traces Jesus' ancestry through forty-two generations, from Abraham through King David, before an angel appears to Joseph in a dream to explain Mary's unexpected pregnancy. Wise men from the East follow a star to Bethlehem, prompting Herod's murderous rage and a hurried flight to Egypt. Years later, back in Nazareth, a wilderness preacher named John begins baptizing crowds by the Jordan — until, one day, Jesus himself wades in to be baptized. We are in a Matthew-John Harmony. Today's episode covers: John 1:1–18, Matthew 1:1–3:17 (the Prologue, the genealogy and birth of Jesus, the flight to Egypt, the return to Nazareth, John the Baptist's ministry, and the baptism of Jesus).
John 20:1–21:25; Mark 16:19–20 Mary Magdalene finds the tomb empty and is the first to see the risen Jesus, though at first she mistakes him for the gardener. That evening, Jesus stands among his disciples behind locked doors, and a week later convinces a stubborn Thomas that he is truly alive. Back in Galilee, seven of them fish all night and catch nothing, until a stranger on the shore fills their net and cooks them breakfast over a charcoal fire. There, Jesus asks Peter three times if he loves him, restores him completely, and gives him work to do for the rest of his life — before, in Mark's own words, being taken up into heaven at last. We are in a Mark-John Harmony. Today's episode covers: John 20:1–21:25, Mark 16:19–20 (the empty tomb, the appearances to Mary Magdalene, the disciples, and Thomas, the miraculous catch of fish, the restoration of Peter, and the Ascension — the concluding episode of Season One).
Mark 15:21–47; John 19:17–42; Mark 16:1–20 Simon of Cyrene is pulled from the crowd to carry the cross, and Jesus is crucified between two thieves at a place called Golgotha. From the cross, he entrusts his mother to the care of the disciple he loved, cries out in anguish, and finally declares his work complete before breathing his last. Joseph of Arimathaea and Nicodemus lay his body in a new tomb — and on the first day of the week, the stone is already rolled away, and Jesus is already alive. We are in a Mark-John Harmony. Today's episode covers: Mark 15:21–47, John 19:17–42, Mark 16:1–20 (the crucifixion, the death of Jesus, both burial accounts, the empty tomb, and the resurrection appearances).
John 18:1–27; Mark 15:1–20; John 18:28–40; John 19:1–16 Jesus is bound and passed between two trials — first before Annas and the Jewish council, where Peter denies him a third time by a charcoal fire, then before Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, who can find no fault in him but hands him over anyway. Given a choice between releasing Jesus or a convicted murderer named Barabbas, the crowd chooses Barabbas. Pilate has Jesus scourged and mocked with a crown of thorns, then presents him to the crowd one final time before giving in to their demand. We are in a Mark-John Harmony. Today's episode covers: John 18:1–27, Mark 15:1–20, John 18:28–40, John 19:1–16 (the arrest, the trials before Annas and Pilate, Peter's denials, the choice of Barabbas, and the scourging and mockery of Jesus).
John 17:1–26; Mark 14:26–72 Before leaving the upper room, Jesus lifts his eyes to heaven and prays — for himself, for his disciples, and for everyone who will one day believe because of them. Then, in a garden called Gethsemane, he prays in agony while his closest friends can't stay awake, before Judas arrives with an armed crowd and a kiss. By midnight he's standing before the high priest and the whole council, while Peter, warming himself by a fire in the courtyard below, denies him three times before the rooster crows. We are in a Mark-John Harmony. Today's episode covers: John 17:1–26, Mark 14:26–72 (the High Priestly Prayer, Gethsemane, the betrayal and arrest, the trial before the Sanhedrin, and Peter's three denials).
John 14:1–16:33 Still in the upper room after the Passover meal, Jesus tells his troubled disciples where he's going and how they can follow, promising a Helper who will never leave them. Walking out toward the Mount of Olives, he compares himself to a vine and warns them that the same hatred aimed at him will fall on them too. Before the night is over, he tells them plainly that their grief is only for a little while — and that he has already overcome the world. We are in a Mark-John Harmony. Today's episode covers: John 14:1–16:33 (the Upper Room Discourse — Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life, the promise of the Comforter, the True Vine, and the world's coming hatred and Christ's peace).
John 12:20–50; John 13:1–38; Mark 14:12–25 Some Greeks come looking for Jesus at the feast, and his answer — a grain of wheat must fall into the ground and die to bear fruit — marks the end of his public teaching. That evening, in an upper room, he ties a towel around his waist and washes the feet of the very men who will scatter within hours, including the one who will betray him before the night is through. Then, breaking bread and passing a cup around the table, he gives his disciples something to hold onto long after he's gone — a meal to remember him by, again and again, for as long as they live. We are in a Mark-John Harmony. Today's episode covers: John 12:20–50, John 13:1–38, Mark 14:12–25 (the close of Jesus' public ministry, the washing of the disciples' feet, and the institution of the Lord's Supper).
Mark 12:1–44; Mark 13:1–37 Back in the temple courts, the religious leaders come at Jesus in waves, each hoping to trap him in his own words — a parable about tenants who kill the landowner's son, a loaded question about paying taxes to Caesar, a trick scenario about resurrection and marriage, and finally, sincerely this time, a question about which commandment matters most. He answers every one, then watches a poor widow drop two small coins into the treasury and calls it the largest gift given that day. Leaving the temple, his disciples marvel at its massive stones — and Jesus tells them not one of those stones will be left standing on another, launching into a long, sobering picture of wars, persecution, and a day known only to the Father. We are in a Mark-John Harmony. Today's episode covers: Mark 12:1–44, Mark 13:1–37 (the parable of the tenants, questions about taxes, resurrection, and the greatest commandment, the widow's mite, and the Olivet Discourse).
