  **Show the text**

  20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

  21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

  22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.

  23 But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

  24 Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

  25 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,

  26 that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.

  27 Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

- Gospel

  Luke 6:12–19

  **Show the text**

  12 In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.

  13 When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:

  14 Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;

  15 Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Simon, who was called the Zealot;

  16 Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.

  17 He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;

  18 as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits, and they were being healed.

  19 All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.
