  **Show the text**

  19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,

  20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;

  21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;

  22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

  1 For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

  2 if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,

  3 how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,

  4 by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,

  5 which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,

  6 that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,

  7 of which I was made a servant according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.

- Gospel

  Luke 5:12–16

  **Show the text**

  12 While he was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”

  13 He stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him.

  14 He commanded him to tell no one, “But go your way, and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing according to what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”

  15 But the report concerning him spread much more, and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

  16 But he withdrew himself into the desert, and prayed.
