## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  Colossians 3:17–4:1

  **Show the text**

  17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.

  18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

  19 Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.

  20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.

  21 Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.

  22 Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.

  23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,

  24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

  25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.

  1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

- Gospel

  Luke 12:48–59

  **Show the text**

  48 but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.

  49 “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.

  50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

  51 Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.

  52 For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

  53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”

  54 He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.

  55 When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.

  56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?

  57 Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

  58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.

  59 I tell you, you will by no means get out of there, until you have paid the very last penny.”
