## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  1 Timothy 4:4–8, 16

  **Show the text**

  4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving.

  5 For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.

  6 If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which you have followed.

  7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.

  8 For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come.

  16 Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

- 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.
