This schedule is a lovely way to keep track by checking the boxes after completing the reading.  

 

Today’s reading was brief, but a lot of activity is embraced in the verses:

• All male Israelites had to attend the Passover in Jerusalem and many went with their family, so there were people everywhere, filling up all available lodging and even wherever they could put a tent.
• Ceremonial cleanness was required under penalty of death in order to acceptably celebrate the Passover
• Jesus made an arduous journey from Jericho at 820 feet [250 m] below sea level up to Bethany at 2,500 feet [760 m] to stay at Lazarus’ home, about 3 km or about an hour’s journey from Jerusalem, arriving before sunset, when the Sabbath, Nisan 8, began.
