Matthew 4:12-17 - Public Ministry In Galilee

¹² But when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he retreated to Galilee. ¹³ And he left Nazareth and went and settled in Capernaum, by the sea, in the district of Zebulon and Naphtali, ¹⁴ in fulfilment of what was said by the prophet Isaiah,

¹⁵ "Zebulon's land, and Naphtali's land, Along the road to the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the nations! ¹⁶ The people that were living in darkness Have seen a great light, And on those who were living in the land of the shadow of death A light has dawned!"

¹⁷ From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent! for the Kingdom of Heaven is coming!"

¹⁴ After John was arrested, Jesus went into Galilee proclaiming the good news from God, ¹⁵ saying, "The time has come and the reign of God is near; repent, and believe this good news."

¹⁴ Under the power of the Spirit Jesus returned to Galilee, and news of him went all over that region. ¹⁵ And he taught in their synagogues, and was honored by them all.
