Marcus, het kortste Evangelie, kan in \u00e9\u00e9n avond worden gelezen, en het gemiddelde hoofdstuk duurt ongeveer twee en een halve minuut. Verspreid over een jaar komt een protestantse Bijbel neer op ongeveer acht minuten per dag, en een katholieke of orthodoxe Bijbel op ongeveer tien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Welke volgorde te kiezen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lezing <strong>in de volgorde van je Bijbel<\/strong>, van Genesis tot Openbaring, is hoe de meesten van ons het voor het eerst proberen, en het geeft elk boek in zijn geheel. Lezen <strong>in chronologische volgorde<\/strong> volgt de gebeurtenissen zoals ze plaatsvonden: Job tussen de aartsvaders, elke psalm waarvan de kop een dag uit Davids leven noemt naast het hoofdstuk dat erover vertelt, de profeten in de regeerperiodes die hun eerste verzen noemen, en de brieven van Paulus waar Handelingen laat zien dat hij ze schrijft. Lezen <strong>het Nieuwe Testament en de Psalmen<\/strong> is het meest geleidelijke begin: het leven van Jezus en de vroege Kerk, met de Psalmen daartussen verspreid, het gebedenboek dat hij aan het kruis citeerde (Matte\u00fcs 27:46, Lucas 23:46).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Katholieke en orthodoxe Bijbels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Een katholieke Bijbel heeft 73 boeken: de 66 van een protestantse Bijbel, met Tobit, Judit, 1 en 2 Makkabee\u00ebn, Wijsheid, Sirach en Baruch, en langere versies van Ester en Dani\u00ebl. Een orthodoxe Bijbel bevat deze en ook 1 Ezra, 3 Makkabee\u00ebn, het Gebed van Manasse en Psalm 151. Kies hierboven je Bijbel en het plan leest de boeken in de eigen volgorde. In chronologische volgorde staat elk boek naast het verhaal waar het bij hoort: Tobit tussen de ballingen in Ninev\u00e9, Baruch na Klaagliederen, de Makkabee\u00ebn vlak voor de Evangeli\u00ebn. Het plan nummert de psalmen zoals de meeste Engelse Bijbels dat doen, dus in een Psalter met de Griekse nummering zijn de meeste er \u00e9\u00e9n lager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wanneer een dag voorbijgaat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dagen gaan voorbij voor ieder van ons. Wanneer dat gebeurt, lees dan de lezing van vandaag op de dag zelf en laat de gemiste dag wachten op een rustiger moment, in plaats van te proberen drie dagen tegelijk te lezen. Een plan is slechts een hulpmiddel onderweg, en het woord zelf is het licht waar we bij wandelen: \u201cUw woord is een lamp voor mijn voet en een licht op mijn pad\u201d (Psalm 119:105).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How long each part of the Bible takes What you read To yourself Aloud A Protestant Bible (66 books) 51 hours 66 hours A Catholic Bible (73 books) 58 hours 76 hours An Orthodox Bible 59 hours 77 hours The Old Testament, Protestant 39 hours 50 hours The Old Testament, Catholic 46 hours 60 hours [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"wide-no-featured-no-title","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_wp_convertkit_post_meta":{"form":"-1","landing_page":"0","tag":"0","restrict_content":"0"},"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_about_page":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_gallery_page":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_contact_page":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_events_page":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_video_page":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_portfolio_piece":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-114345","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"mb":[],"acf":[],"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":111459,"url":"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/nl\/random-bible-verse\/","url_meta":{"origin":114345,"position":0},"title":"Random Bible Verse Generator","author":"Christian Pure Team","date":"oktober 5, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"A random Bible verse, or one for how you feel Verses for each feeling Each article holds more verses for its feeling than the finder shows.
