## Readings of the day

- 1st Matins Gospel

  Matthew 28:16–20

  **Show the text**

  16 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.

  17 When they saw him, they bowed down to him, but some doubted.

  18 Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

  19 Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

  20 teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

- Epistle

  Ephesians 2:4–10

  **Show the text**

  4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

  5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

  6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

  7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;

  8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

  9 not of works, that no one would boast.

  10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

- Gospel

  Luke 12:16–21

  **Show the text**

  16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.

  17 He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’

  18 He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.

  19 I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.” ’

  20 “But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’

  21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
