## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  1 Timothy 1:1–7

  **Show the text**

  1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope;

  2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

  3 As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,

  4 and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith—

  5 but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith,

  6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,

  7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.

- Gospel

  Luke 17:20–25

  **Show the text**

  20 Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation;

  21 neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”

  22 He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

  23 They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away or follow after them,

  24 for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day.

  25 But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
