When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee.

He left Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of

Zebulun and Naphtali, that what had been said through Isaiah the prophet

might be fulfilled:

 

Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, beyond the

Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, the people who sit in darkness have seen a

great light, on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has

arisen.

 

From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom

of heaven is at hand.”

 

He went around all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the

Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness among the

people. 

His fame spread to all of Syria, and they brought to him all who were sick

with various diseases and racked with pain, those who were possessed, l

lunatics, and paralytics, and he cured them.  And great crowds from Galilee,

the Decapolis, Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed

him.
