Matthew 4:12-17 - Public Ministry In Galilee

¹² When Jesus had heard that John was taken, he departed into Galilee; ¹³ and left Nazareth, and went and dwelt in Capernaum, which is a city upon the sea in the coasts of Zebulun and Naphtali: ¹⁴ to fulfill that which was spoken by Isaiah the Prophet, saying,

¹⁵ "The land of Zebulun and Naphtali, the way of the sea beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; ¹⁶ the people which sat in darkness saw great light and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light has begun to shine."

¹⁷ From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, "Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

¹⁴ After that John was taken, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, ¹⁵ and saying, "The time is full come, and the kingdom of God is even at hand. Repent, and believe the gospel."

¹⁴ And Jesus returned by the power of the spirit into Galilee, and the fame of him went throughout all the region round about. ¹⁵ And he taught in their synagogues, and was commended of all men.
