## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  1 Timothy 4:4–8, 16

  **Show the text**

  4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving.

  5 For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.

  6 If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which you have followed.

  7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.

  8 For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come.

  16 Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

- Gospel

  Luke 13:31–35

  **Show the text**

  31 On that same day, some Pharisees came, saying to him, “Get out of here, and go away, for Herod wants to kill you.”

  32 He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.

  33 Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can’t be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem.’

  34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused!

  35 Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”
