☆ Gospel:Matthew 4:12-17, 23-25
12
Now when it came to his ears that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee;
13
And going away from Nazareth, he came and made his living-place in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the country of Zebulun and Naphtali:
14
So that the word of the prophet Isaiah might come true,
15
The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
16
The people who were in the dark saw a great light, and to those in the land of the shade of death did the dawn come up.
17
From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near.
23
And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and making well those who were ill with any disease among the people.
24
And news of him went out through all Syria; and they took to him all who were ill with different diseases and pains, those having evil spirits and those who were off their heads, and those who had no power of moving. And he made them well.
25
And there went after him great numbers from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from the other side of Jordan.

☆ 1 John 3:22--4:6
22
And he gives us all our requests, because we keep his laws and do the things which are pleasing in his eyes.
23
And this is his law, that we have faith in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love for one another, even as he said to us.
24
He who keeps his laws is in God and God is in him. And the Spirit which he gave us is our witness that he is in us.
4:1
My loved ones, do not put your faith in every spirit, but put them to the test, to see if they are from God: because a great number of false prophets have gone out into the world.
2
By this you may have knowledge of the Spirit of God: every spirit which says that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God:
3
And every spirit which does not say this is not from God: this is the spirit of Antichrist, of which you have had word; and it is in the world even now.
4
You are of God, my little children, and you have overcome them because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
5
They are of the world, so their talk is the world's talk, and the world gives ear to them.
6
We are of God: he who has the knowledge of God gives ear to us; he who is not of God does not give ear to us. By this we may see which is the true spirit, and which is the spirit of error.
