THE PEOPLE WHO
SIT IN DARKNESS HAVE SEEN A GREAT LIGHT
First Reading 1John 3:22-4:6
The Son of God has come and given us the
power to know the true God
Beloved, do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they
belong to God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This
is how you can know the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges Jesus
Christ come in the flesh belongs to God, and every spirit that does not
acknowledge Jesus does not belong to God. This is the spirit of the antichrist
who, as you heard, is to come, but in fact is already in the world.
You belong to God, children, and you have conquered them, for the one who is in
you is greater than the one who is in the world. They belong to the world;
accordingly, their teaching belongs to the world, and the world listens to
them. We belong to God, and anyone who knows God listens to us, while anyone
who does not belong to God refuses to hear us. This is how we know the spirit
of truth and the spirit of deceit.
Responsorial Psalm: I will give you all the nations for an
inheritance.
The Lord said to me, you are my Son; this
day I have begotten you. Ask of me and I will give you the nations for an
inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession.
Gospel Matthew 4:12-17,
23-25 The people that
lived in darkness have seen a great light
When he heard
that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. He left Nazareth and went
to live in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, that
what had been said through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled:
“Land
of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee
of the Gentiles, the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, on
those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has arisen.”
From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand.” He went around all of Galilee, teaching in their
synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and
illness among the people. His fame spread to all of Syria, and they brought to
him all who were sick with various diseases and racked with pain, those who
were possessed, lunatics, and paralytics, and he cured them. And great crowds
from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed
him.

Le peuple qui habitait dans les ténèbres a vu une
grande lumière
Psaume Responsorial: Tu es mon fils ; je te donne en héritage les nations
Évangile Matthieu 4,12-17.23-25
«le peuple qui
habitait dans les ténèbres a vu se lever une grande lumière»
Quand Jésus
apprit l'arrestation de Jean Baptiste, il se retira en Galilée. Il quitta
Nazareth et vint habiter à Capharnaüm, ville située au bord du lac, dans les
territoires de Zabulon et de Nephtali. Ainsi s'accomplit ce que le Seigneur
avait dit par le prophète Isaïe:
«Pays de
Zabulon et pays de Nephtali, route de la mer et pays au-delà du Jourdain,
Galilée, toi le carrefour des païens: le peuple qui habitait dans les ténèbres
a vu se lever une grande lumière. Sur ceux qui habitaient dans le pays de
l'ombre et de la mort, une lumière s'est levée».
A partir de ce moment, Jésus se mit à proclamer: «Convertissez-vous, car le
Royaume des cieux est tout proche». Jésus, parcourant toute la Galilée,
enseignait dans leurs synagogues, proclamait la Bonne Nouvelle du Royaume,
guérissait toute maladie et toute infirmité dans le peuple. Sa renommée se
répandit dans toute la Syrie et on lui amena tous ceux qui souffraient,
atteints de maladies et de tourments de toutes sortes: possédés, épileptiques,
paralysés; et il les guérit. De grandes foules le suivirent, venues de la
Galilée, de la Décapole, de Jérusalem, de la Judée, et de la Transjordanie.

toi. Vierge Marie, priez pour moi. Saint Joseph, priez pour moi. Mon Ange
