## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  1 Thessalonians 2:14–19

  **Show the text**

  14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews

  15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and don’t please God, and are contrary to all men,

  16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.

  17 But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,

  18 because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.

  19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

- Gospel

  Luke 13:31–35

  **Show the text**

  31 On that same day, some Pharisees came, saying to him, “Get out of here, and go away, for Herod wants to kill you.”

  32 He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.

  33 Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can’t be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem.’

  34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused!

  35 Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”
