When He had said this\, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again\, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me\, even so I send you." And when He had said this\, He breathed on them and said to the m\, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any\, they are fo rgiven\; if you retain the sins of any\, they are retained." Now Thomas\, one of the twelve\, called the Twin\, was not with them when Jesus came. S o the other disciples told him\, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to t hem\, "Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails\, and place my fin ger in the mark of the nails\, and place my hand in His side\, I will not believe." Eight days later\, His disciples were again in the house\, and T homas was with them. The doors were shut\, but Jesus came and stood among them and said\, "Peace be with you." Then He said to Thomas\, "Put your fi nger here\, and see My hands\; and put out your hand\, and place it in My side\; do not be faithless\, but believing." Thomas answered Him\, "My Lor d and My God!" Jesus said to him\, "Have you believed because you have see n Me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe." Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples\, which are not written in this book\; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is th e Christ\, the Son of God\, and that believing\, you may have life in His name.\n\nEpistle Reading: Colossians 4:5-11\,14-18\nBrethren\, conduct you rselves wisely toward outsiders\, making the most of the time. Let your sp eech always be gracious\, seasoned with salt\, so that you may know how yo u ought to answer every one. Tychicos will tell you all about my affairs\; he is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the L ord. I have sent him to you for this very purpose\, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts\, and with him Onesimos\, the faithful and beloved brother\, who is one of yourselves. They will tell y ou of everything that has taken place. Aristarchos my fellow prisoner gree ts you\, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have receive d instructions if he comes to you\, receive him)\, and Jesus who is called Justos. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow worker s for the kingdom of God\, and they have been a comfort to me. Luke the be loved physician and Demas greet you. Give my greetings to the brethren at Laodicea\, and to Nympha and the church in her house. And when this letter has been read among you\, have it read also in the church of the Laodicea ns\; and see that you read also the letter from Laodicea. And say to Archi ppos\, "See that you fulfill the ministry which you have received in the L ord." I\, Paul\, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my fetters . Grace be with you. Amen.\n\nGospel Reading: Luke 10:16-21\nThe Lord said to his disciples\, "He who hears you hears me\, and he who rejects you re jects me\, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me." The seventy ret urned with joy\, saying\, "Lord\, even the demons are subject to us in you r name!" And he said to them\, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heave n. Behold\, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpion s\, and over all the power of the enemy\; and nothing shall hurt you. Neve rtheless do not rejoice in this\, that the spirits are subject to you\; bu t rejoice that your names are written in heaven." In that same hour he rej oiced in the Holy Spirit and said\, "I thank you\, Father\, Lord of heaven and earth\, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understan ding and revealed them to babes\n\nHosted by Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox C hurch\n\nMore: https://whatsupchurch.com/events/luke-the-evangelist-2026-1 0-18\n\nSource: https://www.google.com/calendar/event?eid=XzZncmo4cGhrNjRx ajRkMWo2Z3MycWQxbDZwaWpjZHBtY2NyM2lkcGo2b3MycWNoZzY4cjMyYzFoNzAgaTBmb2g4dT VhbTh1aThncnBvMXN2dmF1bjRAZw&ctz=America/New_York URL:https://whatsupchurch.com/events/luke-the-evangelist-2026-10-18 STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
