Saint Luke the Evangelist

10Crescens into Galatia, Titus into Dalmatia. 11Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry. 12But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. 13The cloak that I left at Troas, with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, especially the parchments. 14Alexander the coppersmith hath done me much evil: the Lord will reward him according to his works: 15Whom do thou also avoid, for he hath greatly withstood our words. 16At my first answer no man stood with me, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their charge. 17But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that by me the preaching may be accomplished, and that all the Gentiles may hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

10Let all thy works, O lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee.

11They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:

12To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom.

13Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages: and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. The Lord is faithful in all his words: and holy in all his works.

…

17The Lord is just in all his ways: and holy in all his works.

18The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him: to all that call upon him in truth.

1And after these things the Lord appointed also other seventy-two: and he sent them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself was to come. 2And he said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send labourers into his harvest. 3Go: Behold I send you as lambs among wolves. 4Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way. 5Into whatsoever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house. 6And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you. 7And in the same house, remain, eating and drinking such things as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house. 8And into what city soever you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. 9And heal the sick that are therein, and say to them: The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
