## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  Philippians 3:1–8

  **Show the text**

  1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.

  2 Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.

  3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

  4 though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:

  5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

  6 concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.

  7 However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.

  8 Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

- Gospel

  Luke 9:49–56

  **Show the text**

  49 John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”

  50 Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”

  51 It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem

  52 and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

  53 They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.

  54 When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”

  55 But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.

  56 For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.
