## 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 8:1–3

  **Show the text**

  1 Soon afterwards, he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of God’s Kingdom. With him were the twelve,

  2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;

  3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others; who served them from their possessions.
