  1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:

  2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

  3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

  4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,

  5 having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,

  6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved,

  7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

  8 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

  9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him

- Gospel

  Luke 9:7–11

  **Show the text**

  7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

  8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

  9 Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.

  10 The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.

  11 But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
