  Colossians 4:2–9

  **Show the text**

  2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,

  3 praying together for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds,

  4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.

  5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.

  6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

  7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.

  8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,

  9 together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you everything that is going on here.

- 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.
