## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  2 Corinthians 8:1–5

  **Show the text**

  1 Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,

  2 how in much proof of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity.

  3 For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,

  4 begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.

  5 This was not as we had expected, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.

- Gospel

  Luke 8:16–21

  **Show the text**

  16 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.

  17 For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed; nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.

  18 Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”

  19 His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.

  20 Some people told him, “Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.”

  21 But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it.”
