First Reading

Exodus 12:37-42

37And the sons of Israel set out from Rameses to Soccoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides little ones. 38But also an innumerable mix of common people ascended with them, sheep and herds and animals of diverse kinds, exceedingly many. 39And they baked the bread, which a little while ago they had taken out of Egypt as dough. And they made unleavened bread baked under ashes. For it was not able to be leavened, with the Egyptians compelling them to leave and not permitting them to cause any delay. Neither did they have occasion to prepare any meat. 40Now the habitation of the sons of Israel, while they remained in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. 41Having been completed, on the same day all the army of the Lord departed from the land of Egypt. 42This night is a worthy observance of the Lord, when he led them out of the land of Egypt. This all the sons of Israel must observe in their generations.

Gospel

Matthew 12:14-21

14Then the Pharisees, departing, took council against him, as to how they might destroy him. 15But Jesus, knowing this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he cured them all. 16And he instructed them, lest they make him known. 17Then what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah was fulfilled, saying: 18“Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will place my Spirit over him, and he shall announce judgment to the nations. 19He shall not contend, nor cry out, neither shall anyone hear his voice in the streets. 20He shall not crush the bruised reed, and he shall not extinguish the smoking wick, until he sends forth judgment unto victory. 21And the Gentiles shall hope in his name.”
