Thematic Bible: His ministry commencing in galilee


Thematic Bible




{But there will be no gloom for those who were in distress}. In former times he treated [the] land of Zebulun and Naphtali with contempt, but in the future he will honor the way of the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee [of] the nations. The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; light has shined on those who lived in a land of darkness.

Now [when he] heard that John {had been arrested}, he withdrew into Galilee. And leaving Nazareth, he went [and] lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, in order that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said, read more.
"Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, {toward the sea}, on the other side of the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles-- the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, and the ones who sit in the land and shadow of death, a light has dawned on them."
