Zechariah 8:18-23 First Lesson
18. The word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying:
19. Thus says the Lord of hosts: The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be seasons of joy and gladness, and cheerful festivals for the house of Judah: therefore love truth and peace. Many Peoples Drawn to Jerusalem
20. Thus says the Lord of hosts: Peoples shall yet come, the inhabitants of many cities;
21. the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, “Come, let us go to entreat the favor of the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts; I myself am going.”
22. Many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of the Lord.
23. Thus says the Lord of hosts: In those days ten men from nations of every language shall take hold of a Jew, grasping his garment and saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”

1 Corinthians 1:10-18 Second Lesson
10. Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same purpose.
11. For it has been reported to me by Chloe’s people that there are quarrels among you, my brothers and sisters.
12. What I mean is that each of you says, “I belong to Paul,” or “I belong to Apollos,” or “I belong to Cephas,” or “I belong to Christ.”
13. Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
14. I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
15. so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name.
16. (I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.)
17. For Christ did not send me to baptize but to proclaim the gospel, and not with eloquent wisdom, so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of its power. Christ the Power and Wisdom of God
18. For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Colossians 3:9-17 Epistle
9. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have stripped off the old self with its practices
10. and have clothed yourselves with the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its creator.
11. In that renewal there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all!
12. As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.
13. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
14. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
15. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.
16. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God.
17. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Rules for Christian Households

John 17:13-23 Gospel
13. But now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves.
14. I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.
15. I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one.
16. They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.
17. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
18. As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.
19. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth.
20. “I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word,
21. that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22. The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one,
23. I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
