  2 Thessalonians 2:1–12

  1 Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him, we ask you

  2 not to be quickly shaken in your mind, and not be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as if from us, saying that the day of Christ has already come.

  3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction,

  4 he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.

  5 Don’t you remember that, when I was still with you, I told you these things?

  6 Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

  7 For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.

  8 Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;

  9 even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

  10 and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

  11 Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie;

  12 that they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

- Gospel

  Luke 11:42–46

  **Show the text**

  42 But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

  43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.

  44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”

  45 One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”

  46 He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
