  Galatians 1:3–10

  **Show the text**

  3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

  4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father—

  5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

  6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,

  7 but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.

  8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.

  9 As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed.

  10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.

- Gospel

  Luke 9:1–6

  **Show the text**

  1 He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

  2 He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.

  3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two coats each.

  4 Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.

  5 As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”

  6 They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
