## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  1 Corinthians 16:4–12

  **Show the text**

  4 If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.

  5 But I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.

  6 But with you it may be that I will stay, or even winter, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.

  7 For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.

  8 But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,

  9 for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

  10 Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.

  11 Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.

  12 Now concerning Apollos, the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.

- Gospel

  Matthew 21:28–32

  **Show the text**

  28 But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’

  29 He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.

  30 He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I’m going, sir,’ but he didn’t go.

  31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.

  32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.
