Homily
The first chapters of Matthew's Gospel describe the beginnings of Jesus' missionary activity. Very early on, the young rabbi and his disciples began to amaze everyone. Of course, people began to realise that Jesus had come to bring something new. His miracles, his teaching, the power he claimed to have to forgive sins - all these things were causing a stir throughout Galilee. Everyone wanted to see and hear him.
