## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  Philippians 2:24–30

  **Show the text**

  24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.

  25 But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,

  26 since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick.

  27 For indeed he was sick, nearly to death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.

  28 I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

  29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,

  30 because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.

- Gospel

  Luke 5:33–39

  **Show the text**

  33 They said to him, “Why do John’s disciples often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?”

  34 He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?

  35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days.”

  36 He also told a parable to them. “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old garment, or else he will tear the new, and also the piece from the new will not match the old.

  37 No one puts new wine into old wine skins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed.

  38 But new wine must be put into fresh wine skins, and both are preserved.

  39 No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’ ”
