  **Show the text**

  24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,

  25 of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you to fulfill the word of God,

  26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints,

  27 to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

  28 We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;

  29 for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.

- Gospel

  Luke 9:7–11

  **Show the text**

  7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

  8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

  9 Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.

  10 The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.

  11 But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
