☆ Gospel:Luke 4:14-22a
14
And Jesus came back to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news of him went through all the country round about.
15
And he was teaching in their Synagogues and all men gave him praise.
16
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been as a child, and he went, as his way was, into the Synagogue on the Sabbath, and got up to give a reading.
17
And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him and, opening the book, he came on the place where it is said,
18
The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make well those who are broken-hearted; to say that the prisoners will be let go, and the blind will see, and to make the wounded free from their chains,
19
To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure is come.
20
And shutting the book he gave it back to the servant and took his seat: and the eyes of all in the Synagogue were fixed on him.
21
Then he said to them, Today this word has come true in your hearing.
22a
And they were all giving witness, with wonder, to the words of grace which came from his mouth:

☆ 1 John 4:19--5:4
4:19
We have the power of loving, because he first had love for us.
20
If a man says, I have love for God, and has hate for his brother, his words are false: for how is the man who has no love for his brother whom he has seen, able to have love for God whom he has not seen?
21
And this is the word which we have from him, that he who has love for God is to have the same love for his brother.
5:1
Everyone who has faith that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God: and everyone who has love for the Father has love for his child.
2
In this way, we are certain that we have love for the children of God, when we have love for God and keep his laws.
3
For loving God is keeping his laws: and his laws are not hard.
4
Anything which comes from God is able to overcome the world: and the power by which we have overcome the world is our faith.
