Jesus Begins His Ministry (MAT 4:12-17)

[4:12] Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee.

[4:13] And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali,

[4:14] so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

[4:15] “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—

[4:16] the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned.”

[4:17] From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
