2 Timothy 1:1-8

1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,

2To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3I thank God whom I serve with a clear conscience, as did my fathers, when I remember you constantly in my prayers.

4As I remember your tears, I long night and day to see you, that I may be filled with joy.

5I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Loʹis and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you.

6Hence I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands;

7for God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self-control.

8Do not be ashamed then of testifying to our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but take your share of suffering for the gospel in the power of God,

Titus 1:1-5

1Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to further the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth which accords with godliness,

2in hope of eternal life which God, who never lies, promised ages ago

3and at the proper time manifested in his word through the preaching with which I have been entrusted by command of God our Savior;

4To Titus, my true child in a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

5This is why I left you in Crete, that you might amend what was defective, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you,

Mark 4:21-25

21And he said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed, and not on a stand?

22For there is nothing hid, except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret, except to come to light.

23If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24And he said to them, “Take heed what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you.

25For to him who has will more be given; and from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”

Luke 10:1-9

1After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to come.

2And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.

3Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.

4Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and salute no one on the road.

5Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house!’

6And if a son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you.

7And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages; do not go from house to house.

8Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you;

9heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’
