Matthew 4:12-17 - Public Ministry In Galilee

¹² But having heard that John was delivered up, he departed into Galilee: ¹³ and having left Nazareth, he went and dwelt at Capernaum, which is on the sea-side in the borders of Zabulon and Nepthalim, ¹⁴ that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying,

¹⁵ Land of Zabulon and land of Nepthalim, way of the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations: ¹⁶ the people sitting in darkness has seen a great light, and to those sitting in the country and shadow of death, to them has light sprung up.

¹⁷ From that time began Jesus to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.

¹⁴ But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom of God, ¹⁵ and saying, The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn nigh; repent and believe in the glad tidings.

¹⁴ And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee; and a rumour went out into the whole surrounding country about him; ¹⁵ and he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
