Reading
Timothy 3: 14- 16
| 3:14 | I am writing these things to you, with the hope that I will come to you soon. |
| 3:15 | But, if I am delayed, you should know the manner in which it is necessary to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the Church of the living God, the pillar and the foundation of truth. |
| 3:16 | And it is clearly great, this mystery of piety, which was manifested in the flesh, which was justified in the Spirit, which has appeared to Angels, which has been preached to the Gentiles, which is believed in the world, which has been taken up in glory. |
Gospel
Luke 7: 31- 35
| 7:31 | Then the Lord said: “Therefore, to what shall I compare the men of this generation? And to what are they similar? |
| 7:32 | They are like children sitting in the marketplace, talking with one another, and saying: ‘We sang to you, and you did not dance. We lamented, and you did not weep.’ |
| 7:33 | For John the Baptist came, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ |
| 7:34 | The Son of man came, eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a voracious man and a drinker of wine, a friend of tax collectors and of sinners.’ |
| 7:35 | But wisdom is justified by all her children.” |
