Mt 4:12-17

The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry.^* 12^g When he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. 13He left Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,^h 14that what had been said through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled:

15“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,ⁱ

the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan,

Galilee of the Gentiles,

16the people who sit in darkness

have seen a great light,

on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death

light has arisen.”^j

17^* From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say,^k “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
