This week’s Gospel: 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

This week’s Gospel as in the Codex Fuldensis Gospel: 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Using data publicly available from:

and The Sunday Missal to cross-check
This Week's Gospel: Matthew 4: 12 - 17.
(27th-January-2008) 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A

He went and settled in Capernaum: in this way the prophecy of Isaiah was to be fulfilled.
The caput given, for the most part, embodies the reading specified. However, the last verse is missing from the specification. This though may not be important, as the verse is not part of the specified pericope, but rather a linking to the next. This link is then not relevant, for the next pericope in the Codex Fuldensis Gospel is different from that in Matthew.

XXI. Ubi Ihesus audiens quod Iohannes traditus esset secessit in fines Zabulon et Nepthalim.
(Where Jesus, hearing that John would be betrayed, he retired into the borders of Zabulon and Naphthalim.)

When he had heard that John was delivered up, he retired into Galilee. And leaving the city Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capharnaum on the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and of Nephthalim;
That it might be fulfilled which was said by Isaias the prophet:


Land of Zabulon
and land of Nephthalim,
the way of the sea
beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles:
The people that sat in darkness,
hath seen great light:
and to them that sat in the region of the shadow of death,
light is sprung up.
