Gospel: Matthew
Matthew 4:12-23
12 Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.
13 Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15 "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
towards the sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles,
16 the people who sat in darkness saw a great light,
to those who sat in the region and shadow of death,
to them light has dawned."☆
17 From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, "Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."
18 Walking by the sea of Galilee, he† saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
19 He said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men."
20 They immediately left their nets and followed him.
21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them.
22 They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
23 Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness amongst the people.
☆4:16: Isaiah 9:1-2
†4:18: TR reads "Jesus" instead of "he"

Isaiah 9:1b--9:4
(NABRE Isaiah 8:23b--9:3)
1b In the former time, he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.
Those who lived in the land of the shadow of death, on them the light has shined.
3 You have multiplied the nation.
You have increased their joy.
They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the plunder.
4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian.

1 Corinthians 1:10-13, 17
10 Now I beg you, brothers,* through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions amongst you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgement.
11 For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, that there are contentions amongst you.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ."
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptised into the name of Paul?
14 I thank God that I baptised none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,
15 so that no one should say that I had baptised you into my own name.
16 (I also baptised the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don't know whether I baptised any other.)
17 For Christ sent me not to baptise, but to preach the Good News--not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn't be made void.
*1:10: The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."
