Luke 7:11-17
11 It happened that soon afterwards he went to a town called Nain,
and disciples and a great number of people accompanied him. 12
Now when he was near the gate of the town there was a dead man
being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow.
And a considerable crowd of the townspeople was with her. 13
When the Lord saw her he felt sorry for her and said to her, ‘Don’t
cry.’ 14 Then he went up and touched the bier and the bearers stood
still, and he said, ‘Young man, I tell you, get up.’ 15 And the dead
man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him to his mother. [1 K
17:23] 16 Everyone was filled with awe and glorified God saying, ‘A
great prophetd has been raised up among us; God has visited his
people.’ 17 And the word about him spread throughout Judaea and
all over the countryside.

Luke 18:9-14
Parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector
9 He spoke the following parable to some people who prided
themselves on being righteous, and despised everyone else, 10 ‘Two
men went up to the Temple to pray, one a Pharisee, the other a tax
collector. 11 The Pharisee stood there and said this prayer to
himself, “I thank you, God, that I am not grasping, unjust, adulterous
like everyone else, and particularly that I am not like this tax
collector here. 12 I fast twice a week; I pay tithes on all I possess.”
13 The tax collector stood at a distance, not daring even to raise his
eyes to heaven; but he beat his breast and said, “God, be merciful to
me, a sinner.” 14 This man, I tell you, went home again justified;
the other did not. For everyone who raises himself up will be
humbled, but anyone who humbles himself will be raised up.’

Luke 18:1-8
1 Then he told them a parable about the need to pray
continually and never lose heart. 2 He said, ‘There was a judge
in a certain town, who had neither fear of God nor respect for any
human person. 3 In the same town there was also a widow who kept
on coming to him and saying, “Give me justice against my
opponent!” 4 For a long time he refused, but at last he said to
himself, “Even though I have neither fear of God nor respect for any
human person, 5 I must grant this widow justice since she is such a
nuisance, or in the end she will come and slap me in the face.” ’
6 And the Lord said, ‘Do you hear what the unjust judge has to
say? 7 Now, will not God grant justice to his chosen ones who keep
calling to him day and night even though he delays? 8 I promise
you, he will grant justice to them, and speedily. But when the Son of
man comes, will he find faith on earth?’

Luke 17:11-19
11 Now it happened that on the way to Jerusalem he was travelling
in the borderlands of Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he entered one of
the villages, ten men suffering from leprosy came to meet him. They
stood some way off 13 and called to him, ‘Jesus! Master! Have
mercy on us.’ 14 When he saw them he said, ‘Go and show
yourselves to the priests.’ Now as they were going away they were
cleansed. 15 Finding himself cured, one of them turned back
praising God at the top of his voice 16 and threw himself prostrate
at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. The man was a Samaritan. 17
This led Jesus to say, ‘Were not ten made clean? The other nine,
where are they? 18 Was none of them found to come back to give
praise to God, except this foreigner?’ 19 And he said to the man,
‘Stand up and go on your way. Your faith has saved you.’
The coming of the kingdom of God
20 Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was to come,

5 The apostles said to the Lord, ‘Increase our faith.’ 6 The Lord
replied, ‘If you had faith the size of a mustard seed you could say to
this mulberry tree, “Be uprooted and planted in the sea,”
and it would obey you.

7 ‘Which of you, who had a servant ploughing or minding sheep,
would say to him when he returned from the fields, “Come and have
your meal at once”? 8 Would he not be more likely to say, “Get my
supper ready; fasten your belt and wait on me while I eat and drink.
You yourself can eat and drink afterwards”? 9 Must he be grateful to
the servant for obeying orders? 10 So with you: when you have done
all you have been told to do, say, “We are useless servants: we have
done no more than our duty.” ’

Luke 16:19-31
The parable of the rich man and Lazarus
19 ‘There was a rich man who used to dress in purple and fine linen
and feast magnificently every day. 20 And at his gate there used to
lie a poor man called Lazarus, covered with sores, 21 who longed to
fill himself with what fell from the rich man’s table. Even dogs came
and licked his sores. 22 Now it happened that the poor man died
and was carried away by the angels into Abraham’s embrace. The
rich man also died and was buried. 23 In his torment in Hades he
looked up and saw Abraham a long way off with Lazarus in his
embrace. 24 So he cried out, “Father Abraham, have mercy on me
and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my
tongue, for I am in agony in these flames.” 25 Abraham said, “My
son, remember that during your life you had your fill of good things,
just as Lazarus his fill of bad. Now he is being comforted here while
you are in agony. 26 But that is not all: between us and you a great
gulf has been fixed, to block those who want to cross from our side to
yours or from your side to ours.” 27 So he said, “Father, I beg you
then to send Lazarus to my father’s house, 28 since I have five
brothers, to give them warning so that they do not come to this place
of torment too.” 29 Abraham said, “They have Moses and the
prophets, let them listen to them.” 30 The rich man replied, “Ah no,
father Abraham, but if someone comes to them from the dead, they
will repent.” 31 Then Abraham said to him, “If they will not listen
either to Moses or to the prophets, they will not be convinced even if
someone should rise from the dead.” ’

Luke 16:1-13
The crafty manager
1 He also said to his disciples, ‘There was a rich man and he had
a manager who was denounced to him for squandering his
property. 2 He called for the man and said, “What is this I hear
about you? Draw me up an account of your management because you
are not to be my manager any longer.” 3 Then the manager said to
himself, “Now that my master is taking my position away from
me, what am I to do? I am not strong enough to dig. I would be
ashamed to go begging. 4 I know what I will do to make sure that
when I am dismissed from office people will welcome me into their
homes.”
5 ‘Then he called his master’s debtors one by one. To the first he
said, “How much do you owe my master?” 6 “One hundred jars of
oil,” he said. The manager said, “Take your bond; sit down and
quickly write fifty.” 7 To another he said, “And you, sir, how much
do you owe?” “One hundred sacks of wheat,” he said. The manager
said, “Take your bond and write eighty.” 8 ‘The master praised the
dishonest manager for his astuteness.a For the children of this world
are more astute in dealing with their own kind than are the children
of light.
The right use of money
9 ‘And so I tell you this: use money, tainted as it is,b to win you
friends, and thus make sure that when it fails you, they will welcome
you into eternal dwellings. 10 Anyone who is
trustworthy in the smallest matters is trustworthy in great; anyone
who is dishonest in the smallest matters is dishonest in great. 11 If
then you have not been trustworthy with money, that tainted thing,
who will trust you with genuine riches? 12 And if you are not
trustworthy with what is not yours, who will give you what is your
very own?
13 ‘No servant can serve two masters: a servant will
either hate the first and love the second, or be attached to the first

John 3:13-17
13 No one has ascended to heaven
except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of man.
14 As Moses lifted up the snake in the desert,
so must the Son of man be lifted up
15 so that everyone who believes in him
may have eternal life.
16 For God loved the world so much
that he gave his only-begotten Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
may not perish but may have eternal life.
17 For God sent his Son into the world
not to judge the world,
but so that the world might be saved through him.

Luke 14:25-33

Renouncing all that one holds dear
25 Great crowds accompanied him on his way and he turned and
spoke to them. 26 ‘Anyone who comes to
me without hatingc father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters,
yes and even life itself, cannot be my disciple. 27 No one who fails to
carry the cross and come after me can be my disciple. 28 And
15 indeed, which of you here, intending to build a tower, would not first
sit down and work out the cost to see if you had enough to complete
it? 29 Otherwise, if you laid the foundation and then found yourself
unable to finish the work, anyone who saw it would start making fun
of you and saying, 30 “Here is someone who started to build and
was unable to finish.” 31 Or again, what king marching to war
against another king would not first sit down and consider whether
with ten thousand men he could stand up to the other who was
advancing against him with twenty thousand? 32 If not, then while
the other king was still a long way off, he would send envoys to
negotiate peace. 33 So in the same way, none of you can be my
disciple without giving up all that you own.

Luke 12:32-48
7 He then told the guests a parable, because he had noticed how they
picked the places of honour. He said this , 8 ‘When someone invites
you to a wedding feast, do not take your seat in the place of honour,
in case a more distinguished person than you has been
invited, 9 and the person who invited you both may come and say,
“Give up your place to this person.” And then, to your
embarrassment, you will have to go and take the lowest place. 10
No; when you are invited, make your way to the lowest place and sit
there, so that, when your host comes, he may say, “My friend, move
up higher.” Then, everyone with you at the table will see you
honoured. 11 For everyone who raises himself up will be humbled,
and the one who humbles himself will be raised up.’
On choosing guests to be invited
12 Then he said to his host, ‘When you give a lunch or a dinner, do
not invite your friends or your brothers or sisters or your relations or
rich neighbours, in case they invite you back and so repay you. 13
No; when you have a party, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame,
the blind; 14 then you will be blessed, for they have no means to
repay you, and so you will be repaid at the resurrection of the
righteous.’
