Jesus Begins His Galilean Ministry

4
Chapter 4
12 Now hearing that John had been handed over, he withdrew into Galilee. 13 And leaving Nazara, he came and dwelt in Capharnaum, the seaside town, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali. 14 so that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: 15 Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations, 16 The people sitting in darkness saw a great light, and to those sitting in the region and shadow of death, light rose upon them. 17 From then on Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the Kingdom of the Heavens has drawn near."
