## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  1 Thessalonians 2:1–8

  **Show the text**

  1 For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn’t in vain,

  2 but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.

  3 For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.

  4 But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak: not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

  5 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),

  6 nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.

  7 But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

  8 Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you, not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.

- Gospel

  Luke 20:1–8

  **Show the text**

  1 On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.

  2 They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”

  3 He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:

  4 the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”

  5 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’

  6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”

  7 They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.

  8 Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
