  **Show the text**

  1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.

  2 For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.

  3 For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman. Then they will in no way escape.

  4 But you, brothers, aren’t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.

  5 You are all children of light and children of the day. We don’t belong to the night, nor to darkness,

  6 so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.

  7 For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunk are drunk in the night.

  8 But since we belong to the day, let’s be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

- Gospel

  Luke 11:14–23

  **Show the text**

  14 He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.

  15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”

  16 Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.

  17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.

  18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.

  19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.

  20 But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.

  21 “When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.

  22 But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.

  23 “He that is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
