GN-Day054 Leviticus 5-6; Psalm 12; Luke 9:1-36

Daily GNT Bible Reading Podcast

LEVITICUS 5-6:Yesterday we read about sacrifices given for unintentional sins and for peace offerings. And I said that we would hear about offerings for intentional sins today.

PSALM 12:In Psalm 12, we hear of trusting in God's promises even in the midst of hard times.

Translation note: 6 The [words//promises] of the Lord can be trusted; they are as genuine as silver refined seven times in the furnace.

[The Hebrew word here is not specific to just promises. But on the other hand, in this context, this verse is responding to the Lord’s promise in verse 5. So GNT’s translation is fine. However one can see the influence of the GNT on other translations by looking at this verse.]

LUKE 9: Yesterday to the woman healed of bleeding, Jesus said, “It is because you believe in me that you are healed.” And to Jairus, He said, “ Don’t be afraid. Just keep on believing in Me.”

Translation notes: 8 Others were saying that [the prophet] Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life. 18 One day when Jesus was praying alone, the disciples came to him. “[What role do the crowds say that I am fulfilling?//Who do the crowds say I am?]” he asked them. 19 “Some say that you are [taking the role of] John the Baptist,” they answered. “Others say that you are [taking the role of the prophet] Elijah, while others say that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.” 20 “What about you?” he asked them. “[What do you say about me?//Who do you say I am?]” Peter answered, “You are God's Messiah.” 22 He also told them, “[I, the//The Son] of Man must suffer much and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the teachers of the Law. [I//He] will be put to death, but three days later [I//he] will be raised to life.” 26 If you are ashamed of me[, the Son of Man,] and of my teaching, then [I//the Son of Man] will be ashamed of you when [I come in my//he comes in his] glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
