## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  1 Thessalonians 2:14–19

  **Show the text**

  14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews

  15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and don’t please God, and are contrary to all men,

  16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.

  17 But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,

  18 because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.

  19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

- Gospel

  Luke 20:19–26

  **Show the text**

  19 The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.

  20 They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.

  21 They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.

  22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

  23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?

  24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”

  25 He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

  26 They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.
