Gospel: Matthew 12:14-21

14 But the Pharisees went out, and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.

15 Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,

16 and commanded them that they should not make him known:

17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

18 "Behold, my servant whom I have chosen;

my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased:

I will put my Spirit on him.

He will proclaim justice to the nations.

19 He will not strive, nor shout;

neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.

20 He won't break a bruised reed.

He won't quench a smoking flax,

until he leads justice to victory.

21 In his name, the nations will hope."☆


☆12:21: Isaiah 42:1-4

Micah 2:1-5

1 Woe to those who devise iniquity

and work evil on their beds!

When the morning is light, they practise it,

because it is in the power of their hand.

2 They covet fields, and seize them;

and houses, and take them away:

and they oppress a man and his house,

even a man and his heritage.

3 Therefore the LORD says:

"Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster,

from which you will not remove your necks,

neither will you walk haughtily;

for it is an evil time.

4 In that day they will take up a parable against you,

and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying,

'We are utterly ruined!

My people's possession is divided up.

Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!'"

5 Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the LORD's assembly.
