## Readings of the day

- 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.

- Epistle

  Ephesians 5:33–6:9

  **Show the text**

  33 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

  1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

  2 “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise:

  3 “that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.”

  4 You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

  5 Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ,

  6 not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

  7 with good will doing service as to the Lord, and not to men,

  8 knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same good again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.

  9 You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.
