  1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ; To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:

  2 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

  3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,

  4 always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,

  5 for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;

  6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

  7 It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.

- Gospel

  Luke 3:19–22

  **Show the text**

  19 but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,

  20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

  21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky was opened,

  22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.”
