Psalm 2
8Ask of me and I will give to you: the Gentiles for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession. 9You will rule them with an iron rod, and you will shatter them like a potter’s vessel. 10And now, O kings, understand. Receive instruction, you who judge the earth.
Alleluia — See Matthew 4:23
23And Jesus traveled throughout all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every infirmity among the people.
Matthew 4:12-17, 23-25
12And when Jesus had heard that John had been handed over, he withdrew into Galilee. 13And leaving behind the city of Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, near the sea, at the borders of Zebulun and of Naphtali, 14in order to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah: 15“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the sea across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles: 16A people who were sitting in darkness have seen a great light. And unto those sitting in the region of the shadow of death, a light has risen.” 17From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say: “Repent. For the kingdom of heaven has drawn near.” 18And Jesus, walking near the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishermen). 19And he said to them: “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20And at once, leaving behind their nets, they followed him. 21And continuing on from there, he saw another two brothers, James of Zebedee, and his brother John, in a ship with their father Zebedee, repairing their nets. And he called them. 22And immediately, leaving their nets and their father behind, they followed him. 23And Jesus traveled throughout all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every infirmity among the people. 24And reports of him went out to all of Syria, and they brought to him all those who had maladies, those who were in the grasp of various sicknesses and torments, and those who were in the hold of demons, and the mentally ill, and paralytics. And he cured them. 25And a great crowd followed him from Galilee, and from the Ten Cities, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from across the Jordan.
