Matthew 4:12-17 - Public Ministry In Galilee
Matthew 4:12-17
12 When Jesus heard that John had been committed to prison, he retired to Galilee. 13 Afterwards, leaving Nazareth, he went and settled at Capernaum, which is by the side of the Sea, within the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali; 14 In fulfillment of these words in the Prophet Isaiah--
15 'The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, The land of the Road by the Sea, and beyond the Jordan, With Galilee of the Gentiles-- 16 The people who were dwelling in darkness Have seen a great Light, And, for those who were dwelling in the shadow-land of Death, A Light has risen!'
17 At that time Jesus began to proclaim-- "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."
