  Show the text

  ¹Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,

  ²how in much proof of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity.

  ³For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,

  ⁴begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.

  ⁵This was not as we had expected, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.

• Gospel

  Luke 10:19–21

  ¹⁹Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.

  ²⁰Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

  ²¹In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.”
