## Readings of the day

- Gospel

  Luke 9:23–27

  **Show the text**

  23 He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

  24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, will save it.

  25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

  26 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

  27 But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”

- Epistle

  22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

  23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.

  24 But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.

  25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;

  26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
