Jesus Begins His Ministry in Galilee

Matthew 4:12-17

Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee;

and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders 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 that sat in darkness Saw a great light, And to them that sat in the region and shadow of death, To them did light spring up.

From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
