## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  Hebrews 7:1–6

  **Show the text**

  1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

  2 to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, “king of righteousness”, and then also “king of Salem”, which means “king of peace”,

  3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.

  4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the best plunder.

  5 They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,

  6 but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.

- Gospel

  Luke 20:9–18

  **Show the text**

  9 He began to tell the people this parable. “A man planted a vineyard, and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.

  10 At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him, and sent him away empty.

  11 He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

  12 He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him, and threw him out.

  13 The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’

  14 “But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’

  15 They threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

  16 He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”

  17 But he looked at them and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone?’

  18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
