  **Show the text**

  24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,

  25 of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you to fulfill the word of God,

  26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints,

  27 to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

  28 We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;

  29 for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.

- Gospel

  Luke 11:14–23

  **Show the text**

  14 He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.

  15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”

  16 Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.

  17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.

  18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.

  19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.

  20 But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.

  21 “When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.

  22 But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.

  23 “He that is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
