  **Show the text**

  1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ; To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:

  2 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

  3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,

  4 always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,

  5 for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;

  6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

  7 It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.

- Gospel

  Luke 4:37–44

  **Show the text**

  37 News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.

  38 He rose up from the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him for her.

  39 He stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them.

  40 When the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

  41 Demons also came out of many, crying out, and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” Rebuking them, he didn’t allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

  42 When it was day, he departed and went into an uninhabited place, and the multitudes looked for him, and came to him, and held on to him, so that he wouldn’t go away from them.

  43 But he said to them, “I must preach the good news of God’s Kingdom to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent.”

  44 He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
