What is the purpose of the Gospel of Matthew’s conclusion in this episode?
We can't lose our faith the way we lose our car keys. We either give it away or we let it decay because we don't use it. Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and in my new book, Unshakeable, Building a Life of Virtue in a World of Chaos, I tell faith-filled stories that inspire you to live a life of virtue that flows from the unshakeable power of God. Although we're surrounded by a culture that mocks virtue, we can feed ourselves stories that really do uphold what is good and promote a virtuous life. When we live this way, we experience freedom and joy like never before. It's my prayer that the stories in my book, Unshakable, will inspire you to fight the battle for a virtuous life and win through trust in an unshakable God.

Hi, my name's Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of Scripture. The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible Timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds, and how we fit into that story today. It is day 266, and you know what that means. That means that you are now in the double digits to go. So, I mean, I did the math earlier today. And I crunched the numbers and it turns out there's 99 days left. Just like yesterday, there was 100. But now I think it's significant to say you have less than triple digits.
It's now double digits, which is, I don't know, well done. We're reading today, Matthew 27 and 28, the conclusion. of the gospel according to St. Matthew, as well as Proverbs chapter 19, verses 25 through 29. As always, the Bible translation I'm reading from is the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension.

As I said, today is the last day of the Messianic checkpoint, the Gospel of Matthew. Tomorrow, we're moving on to the return. So we had so much time in the exile.
We had so much time reading through not only the story of the exile, but then the prophets in exile that we are having the return coming soon. So tomorrow, you would know this if you had the Bible in your reading plan, but we're starting with Ezra and then the prophet Haggai. And after Ezra, there's Zechariah and there's Nehemiah and there's Esther. All those stories. We're very excited. That starts tomorrow. Today is day 266. We're reading Matthew 27 and 28, Proverbs 19 verses 25 through 29. The gospel according to Matthew chapter 27, Jesus brought before Pilate. When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. And they bound him and led him away and delivered him to Pilate the governor.
Judas hangs himself. When Judas, his betrayer, saw that he was condemned, he repented and brought back the 30 pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders saying, I have sinned in betraying innocent blood. They said, what is that to us? See to it yourself. And throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed and he went and hanged himself. But the chief priests taking the pieces of silver said, it is not lawful to put them into the treasury since they are blood money. So they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field to bury strangers in. Therefore that field has been called the field of blood to this day. Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel, and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me.
Pilate questions Jesus. Now Jesus stood before the governor and the governor asked him, are you the king of the Jews? Jesus said to him, you have said so.
