JESUS BEGINS TO PREACH

Matthew 4: 12-17

12 When Jesus heard that John had been put in Prison,

He returned to Galilee.

13 Leaving Nazareth, He went and lived in Capernaum,

Which was by the lake

In the area of Zebulun and Naphtali--

14 To fulfill what was said through the Prophet Isaiah:

15 'Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,

The way to the sea, along the Jordan,

Galilee of the Gentiles--

16 THE PEOPLE LIVING IN DARKNESS

HAVE SEEN A GREAT LIGHT;

OF THOSE LIVING IN THE LAND

OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH

A GREAT LIGHT HAS DAWNED.

17 From that time on Jesus began to Preach,

REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS NEAR.'

(Matthew 4:12-17)
