☆ Gospel:Matthew 4:12-23
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.
18
And when he was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, whose other name was Peter, and Andrew, his brother, who were putting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
19
And he said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20
And straight away they let go the nets and went after him.
21
And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the boat with their father, stitching up their nets; and he said, Come.
22
And they went straight from the boat and their father and came after him.
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.

☆ Isaiah 9:1--9:4
(Isaiah 8:23--9:3)**
1
In earlier times he made the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali of small value, but after that he gave it glory, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2
The people who went in the dark have seen a great light, and for those who were living in the land of the deepest night, the light is shining.
3
You have made them very glad, increasing their joy. They are glad before you as men are glad in the time of getting in the grain, or when they make division of the goods taken in war.
4
For by your hand the yoke on his neck and the rod on his back, even the rod of his cruel master, have been broken, as in the day of Midian.
** Isaiah 8:23b--9:3

☆ 1 Corinthians 1:10-13, 17
10
Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.
11
Because it has come to my knowledge, through those of the house of Chloe, that there are divisions among you, my brothers.
12
That is, that some of you say, I am of Paul; some say, I am of Apollos; some say, I am of Cephas; and some say, I am Christ's.
13
Is there a division in Christ? was Paul nailed to the cross for you? or were you given baptism in the name of Paul?
17
For Christ sent me, not to give baptism, but to be a preacher of the good news : not with wise words, for fear that the cross of Christ might be made of no value.
