## 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 6:46–7:1

  **Show the text**

  46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?

  47 Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like.

  48 He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock.

  49 But he who hears, and doesn’t do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”

  1 After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
