  **Show the text**

  1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.

  2 Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.

  3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

  4 though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:

  5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

  6 concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.

  7 However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.

  8 Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

- Gospel

  Luke 9:7–11

  **Show the text**

  7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

  8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

  9 Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.

  10 The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.

  11 But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
