Matthew 4:12-17 - Public Ministry In Galilee

¹² Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he departed into Galilee. ¹³ And having left Nazareth behind, after coming, he dwelt in Capernaum by the sea in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali, ¹⁴ so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,

¹⁵ The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, ¹⁶ the people who dwell in darkness saw a great light, and to those who dwell in the region and shadow of death, light sprang up to them.

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

¹⁴ Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee proclaiming the good-news of God, ¹⁵ and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent ye, and believe in the good-news.

¹⁴ And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee. And a report went out about him through the entire region around. ¹⁵ And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
