Matthew 4:12-17

¹²Now when Jesus heard that John had been taken into custody, He withdrew into Galilee; ¹³and leaving Nazareth, He came and settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali. ¹⁴This happened so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled:

15“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,

By the way of the sea, on the other side of the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—

16The people who were sitting in darkness saw a great Light,

And those who were sitting in the land and shadow of death,

Upon them a Light dawned.”

¹⁷From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
