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."

Mark 1:14-15

14 After John had been committed to prison, Jesus went to Galilee, proclaiming the Good News of God-- 15 "The time has come, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe the Good News."

Luke 4:14-15

14 Moved by the power of the Spirit, Jesus returned to Galilee. Reports about him spread through all that neighborhood; 15 And he began to teach in their Synagogues, and was honored by every one.
