## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  Colossians 2:20–3:3

  **Show the text**

  20 If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,

  21 “Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”

  22 (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?

  23 These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, humility, and severity to the body; but aren’t of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.

  1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

  2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.

  3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

- Gospel

  Luke 12:42–48

  **Show the text**

  42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?

  43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.

  44 Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.

  45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken,

  46 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him, and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.

  47 That servant, who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,

  48 but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
