Thus says
the LORD: Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one with whom I am pleased,
upon whom I have put my spirit; he shall bring forth justice to the nations, not
crying out, not shouting, not making his voice heard in the street. A bruised
reed he shall not break, and a smoldering wick he shall not quench, until he
establishes justice on the earth; the coastlands will wait for his teaching.
I, the LORD, have called you for the victory of justice, I have grasped you by the hand; I formed you, and set you as a covenant of the people, a light for the nations, to open the eyes of the blind,
to bring out prisoners from confinement, and from the dungeon, those who live in darkness.

10:34-38
Peter
proceeded to speak to those gathered in the house of Cornelius, saying: "In
truth, I see that God shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever
fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him. You know the word that he
sent to the Israelites as he proclaimed peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord
of all, what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after the
baptism that John preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy
Spirit and power. He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed by
the devil, for God was with him."

Gospel Mt
3:13-17
Jesus
came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. John tried to
prevent him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and yet you are coming
to me?" Jesus said to him in reply,
"Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed him. After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were opened for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
