## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  2 Corinthians 3:12–18

  **Show the text**

  12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,

  13 and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face, that the children of Israel wouldn’t look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.

  14 But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.

  15 But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.

  16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

  17 Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

  18 But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

- Gospel

  Luke 8:16–21

  **Show the text**

  16 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.

  17 For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed; nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.

  18 Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”

  19 His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.

  20 Some people told him, “Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.”

  21 But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it.”
