## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  Ephesians 2:11–13

  **Show the text**

  11 Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands),

  12 that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

  13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

- Gospel

  Luke 12:32–40

  **Show the text**

  32 Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

  33 Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.

  34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

  35 “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.

  36 Be like men watching for their lord, when he returns from the wedding feast; that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.

  37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.

  38 They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch, and finds them so.

  39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not allowed his house to be broken into.

  40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”
