Matthew 4:12-19

12Now when Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, he went into Galilee.

13While in Galilee, he moved from Nazareth to make his home in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,

14so that what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled:

15“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way by the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles –

16the 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.”

17From that time Jesus began to preach this message: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

18As 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).

19He said to them, “Follow me, and I will turn you into fishers of people.”
