  **Show the text**

  9 Be diligent to come to me soon,

  10 for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia; and Titus to Dalmatia.

  11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.

  12 But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.

  13 Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.

  14 Alexander, the coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds,

  15 of whom you also must beware; for he greatly opposed our words.

  16 At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.

  17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

  18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

  19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.

  20 Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick.

  21 Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.

  22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

- Gospel

  Mark 11:22–26

  **Show the text**

  22 Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.

  23 For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever he says.

  24 Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.

  25 Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.

  26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.”
