Today on Sleepy Scriptures, I complete the Gospel of Mark with readings from chapters 8 through 16 of the King James Bible, accompanied by gentle, soothing music to help you find peace and rest.
In these final chapters, Mark records pivotal moments in the life of Christ. We hear Peter’s confession that Jesus is the Christ, the breathtaking Transfiguration, and the Lord’s teachings on faith, humility, and discipleship.
As we journey on, the story leads us into Jerusalem, where Jesus shares the Last Supper, prays in Gethsemane, and is betrayed, tried, and crucified. Mark’s Gospel concludes with the triumphant message of the resurrection of Christ, offering eternal hope and comfort for all who believe.
Whether you come seeking Scripture for sleep, relaxation, or spiritual nourishment, let the timeless words of the King James Bible and the gentle background music of Sleepy Scriptures bring calm to your evening.
Join me here each Monday for Old Testament readings, and on Wednesdays and Fridays for continuing journeys through the New Testament.
God Bless.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
