## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  Colossians 1:18–23

  **Show the text**

  18 He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.

  19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,

  20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself by him, whether things on the earth or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.

  21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,

  22 yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without defect and blameless before him,

  23 if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

- Gospel

  Luke 9:44–50

  **Show the text**

  44 “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”

  45 But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

  46 An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.

  47 Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

  48 and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”

  49 John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”

  50 Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
