## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  Philippians 2:24–30

  **Show the text**

  24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.

  25 But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,

  26 since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick.

  27 For indeed he was sick, nearly to death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.

  28 I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

  29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,

  30 because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.

- 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.”
