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."

Micah 2:1-5

1 Woe to those who devise iniquity
and work evil on their beds!
When the morning is light, they practice it,
because it is in the power of their hand.

2 They covet fields and seize them,
and houses, then take them away.
They oppress a man and his house,
even a man and his heritage.

3 Therefore Yahweh 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 Yahweh's assembly.
