Sunday, July 16 : Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 12,14-21.
But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him.
When Jesus became aware of this, he departed. Many crowds followed him, and he cured all of them,
and he ordered them not to make him known.
This was to fulfil what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
‘Here is my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
He will not wrangle or cry aloud, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
He will not break a bruised reed or quench a smouldering wick until he brings justice to victory.
And in his name the Gentiles will hope.’
