Matthew 4: 12 - 17, 23 - 25
|
| 12
|
Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee;
|
| 13
|
and leaving Nazareth he went and dwelt in Caper'na-um by the sea, in the territory of Zeb'ulun and Naph'tali,
|
| 14
|
that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:
|
| 15
|
"The land of Zeb'ulun and the land of Naph'tali, toward the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles --
|
| 16
|
the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned."
|
| 17
|
From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
|
| 23
|
And he went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every infirmity among the people.
|
| 24
|
So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, demoniacs, epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them.
|
| 25
|
And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decap'olis and Jerusalem and Judea and from beyond the Jordan.
