Jesus Begins to Preach
Now when Jesus heard that John
was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee. Leaving Nazareth, he came and
lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and
Naphtali, that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
"The land of
Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
toward the sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles,
the people who sat in
darkness saw a great light,
to those who sat in the region and shadow of death,
to them light has dawned."
From that time, Jesus
began to preach, and to say, "Repent! For the Kingdom
of Heaven is at hand."
Matthew 4:12-17
