Epistle

2 Cor 8.1-5

Read in context

Brethren, I

1Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;

2How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.

3For to [their] power, I bear record, yea, and beyond [their] power [they were] willing of themselves;

4Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and [take upon us] the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.

5And [this they did], not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.

Gospel

Luke 9.1-6

Read in context

At that time, Jesus

1Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

2And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

3And he said unto them, Take nothing for [your] journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

4And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.

5And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

6And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
