4:12 Now when Jesus 7 heard that John had been imprisoned, 8 he went into Galilee. 4:13 While in Galilee, he moved from Nazareth 9 to make his home in Capernaum 10 by the sea, 11 in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, 4:14 so that what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled: 12
4:15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
the way by the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles –
4:16 the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light,
and on those who sit in the region and shadow of death a light has dawned.” 13
4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach this message: 14 “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
4:18 As 15 he was walking by the Sea of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon (called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishermen). 16 4:19 He said to them, “Follow me, and I will turn you into fishers of people.” 17 4:20 They 18 left their nets immediately and followed him. 19 4:21 Going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in a boat 20 with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. Then 21 he called them. 4:22 They 22 immediately left the boat and their father and followed him.
4:23 Jesus 23 went throughout all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, 24 preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of disease and sickness among the people. 4:24 So a report about him spread throughout Syria. People 25 brought to him all who suffered with various illnesses and afflictions, those who had seizures, 26 paralytics, and those possessed by demons, 27 and he healed them. 4:25 And large crowds followed him from Galilee, the Decapolis, 28 Jerusalem, 29 Judea, and beyond the Jordan River. 30
