  10 when he comes in that day to be glorified in his saints and to be admired among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

  11 To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power,

  12 that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

  1 Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him, we ask you

  2 not to be quickly shaken in your mind, and not be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as if from us, saying that the day of Christ has already come.

- Gospel

  Mark 8:22–26

  **Show the text**

  22 He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him, and begged him to touch him.

  23 He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spat on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.

  24 He looked up, and said, “I see men; for I see them like trees walking.”

  25 Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.

  26 He sent him away to his house, saying, “Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.”
