  ⁸For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.

  ⁹Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,

  ¹⁰who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver; on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;

  ¹¹you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.

• Gospel

  Luke 9:1–6

  ¹He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

  ²He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.

  ³He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two coats each.

  ⁴Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.

  ⁵As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”

  ⁶They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
