Matthew 4:12-17 - Public Ministry In Galilee

¹² Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, He set out for Galilee. ¹³ But He left Nazareth and made His home in Capernaum, by the sea, in the district of Zebulon and Naphtali, ¹⁴ to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:

¹⁵ "Land of Zebulon and land of Naphtali, on 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 that were living in the land of the shadow of death; a light has dawned."

¹⁷ From that time Jesus continued to preach and say, "Repent! For the kingdom of heaven is near."

¹⁴ Now after John was arrested, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God: ¹⁵ "The time is ripe and the kingdom of God is near; repent and believe in the good news."

¹⁴ Then Jesus in the power of the Spirit returned to Galilee, and news of Him spread all over the surrounding country. ¹⁵ Meanwhile He began to teach in their synagogues, and was continuously receiving praise from all.
