Matthew 4:12-16

¹²When Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, He withdrew to Galilee.

¹³Leaving Nazareth, He went and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,

¹⁴to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

¹⁵“Land of Zebulun

and land of Naphtali,

the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan,

Galilee of the Gentiles —

¹⁶the people living in darkness

have seen a great light;

on those living in the land of the shadow of death,

a light has dawned.”

— Matthew 4:12-16
