Lent 2027 · 10 February to 28 March

Forty days through the Gospels

One chapter a day from Ash Wednesday to Easter Day: the life of Jesus as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John tell it. Every chapter is on this site in the King James Version, with a plain reading beside each verse, free to read. In the iPhone and iPad app you can also hear it read aloud.

The 40 days leave out the Sundays of Lent and Holy Saturday, so day 40 is read on Easter morning. On a day without a reading, rest, or catch up.

Lent begins on Wednesday 10 February 2027

Day 1: Matthew 4

Read in your browser at app.worldbible.guide, free and without an account, or get the iPhone and iPad app to hear each chapter read aloud. If a day’s chapter raises a question, bring it to Simon Peter, Paul, Philip, John the Baptist, Judas Iscariot or Jesus in Speak: when an answer rests on a passage, you see which one. Each person is an interpretation drawn from the text, never the person.
