  2 Corinthians 1:8–11

  **Show the text**

  8 For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.

  9 Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,

  10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver; on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;

  11 you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.

- 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.”
