Matthew 4:12-17

12Now when Jesus heard that 1John had been taken into custody, 2He withdrew into Galilee; 13and leaving Nazareth, He came and 3settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali. 14This happened so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled:15“4The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, 5By the way of the sea, on the other side of the Jordan, Galilee of the 6Gentiles--16 7The 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.”

17 8From that time Jesus began to 9preach and say, “10Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
