Readings of the day

• Epistle

  Ephesians 4:14–19

  ¹⁴that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;

  ¹⁵but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ,

  ¹⁶from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.

  ¹⁷This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,

  ¹⁸being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts.

  ¹⁹They, having become callous, gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

• Gospel

  Luke 9:7–11

  ⁷Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

  ⁸and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

  ⁹Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.

  ¹⁰The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.

  ¹¹But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
