## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  2 Corinthians 1:1–7

  **Show the text**

  1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:

  2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

  3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;

  4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

  5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

  6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

  7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.

- Epistle · Theotokos

  Philippians 2:5–11

  **Show the text**

  5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,

  6 who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

  7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

  8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.

  9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,

  10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,

  11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

- Gospel

  Matthew 21:43–46

  **Show the text**

  43 “Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation producing its fruit.

  44 He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”

  45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.

  46 When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.

- Gospel · Theotokos

  Luke 10:38–42, 11:27–28
