  Philippians 1:20–27

  **Show the text**

  20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

  21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

  22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.

  23 But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

  24 Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

  25 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,

  26 that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.

  27 Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

- Gospel

  Luke 9:7–11

  **Show the text**

  7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

  8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

  9 Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.

  10 The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.

  11 But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
