Jesus, the elected servant.
Reading 3, Colo 2: 6-10 : Fullness of life in Christ
| 6 | As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so live in him, |
| 7 | rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. |
| 8 | See to it that no one makes a prey of you by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to Christ. |
| 9 | For in him the whole fulness of deity dwells bodily, |
| 10 | and you have come to fulness of life in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. |
Gospel, Mt 12 :15b-21 : Jesus, the elected servant.
| 15 | Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he healed them all, |
| 16 | and ordered them not to make him known. |
| 17 | This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: |
| 18 | "Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall proclaim justice to the Gentiles. |
| 19 | He will not wrangle or cry aloud, nor will any one hear his voice in the streets; |
| 20 | he will not break a bruised reed or quench a smoldering wick, till he brings justice to victory; |
| 21 | and in his name will the Gentiles hope." |
