## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  2 Corinthians 5:1–10

  **Show the text**

  1 For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.

  2 For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,

  3 if indeed being clothed, we will not be found naked.

  4 For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened, not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

  5 Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.

  6 Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;

  7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.

  8 We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

  9 Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.

  10 For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

- Gospel

  Luke 9:57–62

  57 As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”

  58 Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

  59 He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

  60 But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”

  61 Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”

  62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
