- Epistle

  Hebrews 3:5–11, 17–19

  **Show the text**

  5 Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,

  6 but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

  7 Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice,

  8 don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

  9 where your fathers tested me and tried me, and saw my deeds for forty years.

  10 Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they didn’t know my ways.’

  11 As I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’ ”

  17 With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

  18 To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

  19 We see that they weren’t able to enter in because of unbelief.

- Gospel

  Mark 12:13–17

  **Show the text**

  13 They sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.

  14 When they had come, they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don’t defer to anyone; for you aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

  15 Shall we give, or shall we not give?” But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.”

  16 They brought it. He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.”

  17 Jesus answered them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marveled greatly at him.
