  **Show the text**

  1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

  2 We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,

  3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

  4 We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,

  5 and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.

- Gospel

  Luke 17:20–25

  **Show the text**

  20 Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation;

  21 neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”

  22 He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

  23 They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away or follow after them,

  24 for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day.

  25 But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
