The Scripture Readings
20
For you are our glory and joy.
1
Therefore, when we could no longer endure it, we thought it good to be left in Athens alone,
2
and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God, and our fellow laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you and encourage you concerning your faith,
3
that no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this.
4
For, in fact, we told you before when we were with you that we would suffer tribulation, just as it happened, and you know.
5
For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor might be in vain.
6
But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always have good remembrance of us, greatly desiring to see us, as we also to see you-
7
therefore, brethren, in all our affliction and distress we were comforted concerning you by your faith.
8
For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.
Luke 10:22-24
22
All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.
23
Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see;
24
for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it.
