Today's Reading
This particular chronological reading plan (there are others) uses a method that is harder for me to follow. Some plans will take a particular event and jump from one Gospel to the next, allowing each to describe that one event before moving on. This one stays with whole chapters. Therefore, we get the baptism of Jesus in Matthew, but both Mark and Luke contain other details.
You will notice that Mark's gospel is very action-oriented and doesn't spend much time on pastoral scenes. Mark 1, for example, contains so much activity that it takes Luke a few more chapters to describe the same events. Luke was the consummate historian, carefully describing both the action and the history of the time. We will learn much by reading this way, but at times it may be a little hard to follow.
