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.”
17From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
— Matthew 4:12-17
