## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  1 Timothy 1:18–20, 2:8–15

  **Show the text**

  18 I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,

  19 holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,

  20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

  8 I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.

  9 In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,

  10 but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.

  11 Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.

  12 But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.

  13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

  14 Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;

  15 but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and sanctification with sobriety.

- Gospel

  Mark 8:30–34

  **Show the text**

  30 He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.

  31 He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

  32 He spoke to them openly. Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

  33 But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men.”

  34 He called the multitude to himself with his disciples, and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
