Efesiërs 1: 1-10

1:1 Paul, 'n Apostel van Jesus Christus deur die wil van God, to all the saints who are at Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus.

1:2 Grace and peace to you from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

1:3 Geseënd is die God en Vader van onse Here Jesus Christus, wat ons geseën het met elke geestelike seëning in die hemele, in Christus,

1:4 net soos Hy ons in Hom uitverkies het voor die grondlegging van die wêreld, sodat ons heilig en onberispelik voor sy oë sou wees, in liefdadigheid.

1:5 Hy het ons voorbeskik tot aanneming as seuns, deur Jesus Christus, in homself, volgens die doel van sy wil,

1:6 tot lof van die heerlikheid van sy genade, waarmee Hy ons geskenk het in sy geliefde Seun.

1:7 In hom, ons het verlossing deur sy bloed: die vergewing van sondes in ooreenstemming met die rykdom van sy genade,

1:8 wat oorvloedig in ons is, met alle wysheid en omsigtigheid.

1:9 So maak Hy aan ons die verborgenheid van sy wil bekend, wat hy in Christus uiteengesit het, op 'n wyse wat vir hom welgevallig is,

1:10 in die bedeling van die volheid van die tyd, om alles wat deur Hom in die hemel en op aarde bestaan, in Christus te vernuwe.

Evangelie

Lukas 1: 47-54

11:47	Wee jou, who build the tombs of the prophets, while it is your fathers who killed them!
11:48	Duidelik, you are testifying that you consent to the actions of your fathers, because even though they killed them, you build their sepulchers.
11:49	As gevolg hiervan ook, the wisdom of God said: I will send to them Prophets and Apostles, and some of these they will kill or persecute,
11:50	so that the blood of all the Prophets, which has been shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation:
11:51	from the blood of Abel, even to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. So I say to you: it will be required of this generation!
11:52	Wee jou, experts in the law! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves do not enter, and those who were entering, you would have prohibited.”
11:53	Toe, while he was saying these things to them, the Pharisees and the experts in the law began to insist strongly that he restrain his mouth about many things.
11:54	And waiting to ambush him, they sought something from his mouth that they might seize upon, in order to accuse him.
