Matthew 4:15-25

15“1The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, 2By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the 3Gentiles--164The 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.”

175From that time Jesus began to 6preach and say, “7Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

188Now as Jesus was walking by 9the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, 10Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19And He said to them, “11Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20Immediately they left their nets and followed Him. 21Going on from there He saw two other brothers, 1213James the son of Zebedee, and 14John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them. 22Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

23Jesus was going 15throughout all Galilee, 16teaching in their synagogues and 17proclaiming the 18gospel of the kingdom, and 19healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people.

24The news about Him spread 20throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all who were ill, those suffering with various diseases and pains, 21demoniacs, 2223epileptics, 24paralytics; and He healed them. 25Large crowds 25followed Him from Galilee and 26the Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and from 27beyond the Jordan.
