Epistle

Ephesians 5.33-6.9

5:33Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

6:1Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

6:2Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)

6:3That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

6:4And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

6:5Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

6:6Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

6:7With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

6:8Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

6:9And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

Gospel

Luke 9.7-11

Read in context

7Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;

8And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

9And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

10And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

11And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
