Matthew 4:12-19

12NowG1161 when Jesus heardG191 that 1JohnG2491 had been takenG3860 into custodyG3860, 2He withdrewG402 into GalileeG1056; 13and leavingG2641 NazarethG3478, He cameG2064 and 3settledG2730 in CapernaumG2746, which is by the seaG3864, in the regionG3725 of ZebulunG2194 and NaphtaliG3508. 14This was to fulfillG4137 whatG3588 was spokenG3004 throughG1223 IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396:15“4The landG1093 of ZebulunG2194 and the landG1093 of NaphtaliG3508, 5By the wayG3598 of the seaG2281, beyondG4008 the JordanG2446, GalileeG1056 of the 6GentilesG1484--167The peopleG2992 who were sittingG2521 in darknessG4653 sawG3708 a greatG3173 LightG5457, And thoseG3588 who were sittingG2521 in the landG5561 and shadowG4639 of deathG2288, Upon them a LightG5457 dawnedG393.”

178From that timeG5119 JesusG2424 beganG757 to 9preachG2784 and sayG3004, “10RepentG3340, for the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 is at handG1448.”

1811Now as Jesus was walkingG4043 by 12the SeaG2281 of GalileeG1056, He sawG3708 twoG1417 brothersG80, 13SimonG4613 who was calledG3004 PeterG4074, and AndrewG406 his brotherG80, castingG906 a netG293 into the seaG2281; for they were fishermenG231. 19And He saidG3004 to them, “14FollowG1205G3694 Me, and I will makeG4160 you fishersG231 of menG444.”
