## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  Colossians 3:17–4:1

  **Show the text**

  17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.

  18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

  19 Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.

  20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.

  21 Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.

  22 Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.

  23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,

  24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

  25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.

  1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

- Gospel

  Luke 11:9–13

  **Show the text**

  9 “I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

  10 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

  11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?

  12 Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?

  13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
