2 Timothy 3:16–4:4
16All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
17that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
1I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:
2Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
4and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
Gospel
Luke 19:45–48
45Then He went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
46saying to them, 'It is written, 'My house is a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of thieves.' '
47And He was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people sought to destroy Him,
48and were unable to do anything; for all the people were very attentive to hear Him.
