Jesaja 55: 6-9
55:6 Meklējiet Kungu, kamēr viņu var atrast. Piesauc viņu, kamēr viņš ir tuvumā.
55:7 Lai bezdievīgs pamet savu ceļu, un nelietīgais cilvēks savas domas, un lai viņš atgriežas pie Tā Kunga, un viņš par viņu apžēlosies, un mūsu Dievam, jo viņš ir liels piedošanā.
55:8 Jo manas domas nav tavas domas, un tavi ceļi nav mani ceļi, saka Tas Kungs.
55:9 Jo tāpat kā debesis ir paaugstinātas pār zemi, tāpat arī mani ceļi ir augstāki par jūsu ceļiem, un manas domas ir augstākas par tavām.
Otrais lasījums
filipieši 1: 20-24, 27
1:20 by means of my own expectation and hope. For in nothing shall I be confounded. Tā vietā, with all confidence, now just as always, Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
1:21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 1:22 And while I live in the flesh, for me, there is the fruit of works. But I do not know which I would choose.
1:23 For I am constrained between the two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, which is the far better thing,
1:24 but then to remain in the flesh is necessary for your sake.
1:27 Only let your behavior be worthy of the Gospel of Christ, tātad, whether I return and see you, or whether, being absent, I hear about you, still you may stand firm with one spirit, with one mind, laboring together for the faith of the Gospel.

The Holy Gospel According to Matthew 20: 1-16
| 20:1 | “The kingdom of heaven is like the father of a family who went out in early morning to lead workers into his vineyard. |
| 20:2 | Tad, having made an agreement with the workers for one denarius per day, he sent them into his vineyard. |
| 20:3 | And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace. |
| 20:4 | Un viņš tiem sacīja, ‘You may go into my vineyard, arī, and what I will give you will be just.’ |
| 20:5 | So they went forth. But again, he went out about the sixth, and about the ninth hour, and he acted similarly. |
| 20:6 | Tomēr patiesi, about the eleventh hour, he went out and found others standing, un viņš tiem sacīja, ‘Why have you stood here idle all day?' |
| 20:7 | They say to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You also may go into my vineyard.’ |
| 20:8 | And when evening had arrived, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last, even to the first.’ |
| 20:9 | Līdz ar to, when those who had arrived about the eleventh hour came forward, each received a single denarius. |
| 20:10 | Then when the first ones also came forward, they considered that they would receive more. But they, arī, received one denarius. |
| 20:11 | And upon receiving it, they murmured against the father of the family, |
| 20:12 | sakot, ‘These last have worked for one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who worked bearing the weight and heat of the day.’ |
| 20:13 | But responding to one of them, viņš teica: ‘Friend, I caused you no injury. Did you not agree with me to one denarius? |
| 20:14 | Take what is yours and go. But it is my will to give to this last, just as to you. |
| 20:15 | And is it not lawful for me to do what I will? Or is your eye wicked because I am good?' |
| 20:16 | Tā tad, the last shall be first, and the first shall be last. For many are called, but few are chosen.” |
