First Reading
Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7
- 1
Behold my servant, I will uphold him: my elect, my soul delighteth in him: I have given my spirit upon him, he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
- 2
He shall not cry, nor have respect to person, neither shall his voice be heard abroad.
- 3
The bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
- 4
He shall not be sad, nor troublesome, till he set judgment in the earth: and the islands shall wait for his law.
- 6
I the Lord have called thee in justice, and taken thee by the hand, and preserved thee. And I have given thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles:
- 7
That thou mightest open the eyes of the blind, and bring forth the prisoner out of prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
