恭讀聖瑪竇福音 4:12-17,23-25

耶穌聽到若翰被監禁以後,就退避到加里肋亞去了;後又離開納匝肋,來住在海邊的葛法翁,即住在則步隆和納斐塔里境內。這應驗了依撒意亞先知所說的話:「則布隆地與納斐塔里地,通海大路,約旦河東,外方人的加里肋亞,那坐在黑暗中的百姓,看見了浩光;那些坐在死亡陰影之地的人,為他們出現了光明。」從那時起,耶穌開始宣講說:「你們悔改吧!因為天國臨近了。」
耶穌走遍了全加里肋亞,在他們的會堂內施教,宣講天國的福音,治好民間各種疾病,各種災殃。他的名聲傳遍了整個敘利亞。人就把一切有病的、受各種疾病痛苦煎熬的、附魔的、癲間的、癱瘓的,都給他送來,他都治好了他們。於是有許多群眾從加里肋亞、「十城區」、耶路撒冷、猶太和約旦河東岸來跟隨了他。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 4:12-17,23-25

When Jesus 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.
