Matthew 4:13-23

13 and having left Nazareth, he went and dwelt at Capernaum, which is on the sea-side in the borders of Zabulon and Nepthalim,
14 that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying,
15 Land of Zabulon and land of Nepthalim, way of [the] sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations:
16 -- the people sitting in darkness has seen a great light, and to those sitting in [the] country and shadow of death, to them has light sprung up.
17 From that time began Jesus to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.
18 And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers;
19 and he says to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 And they, having left their trawl-nets, immediately followed him.
21 And going on thence he saw other two brothers, James the [son] of Zebedee and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their trawl-nets, and he called them;
22 and they, having left the ship and their father, immediately followed him.
23 And [Jesus] went round the whole [of] Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness among the people.

Footnotes 3

  • [a]. The Lake of Tiberias: see John 6.1.
  • [b]. Isa. 9.1,2.
  • [c]. Lit. 'the trawl-nets.' The word is supposed to derive from the verb 'to cast:' so Mark 1.18; Luke 5.2-6; John 21.6-11; 'seine,' in Matt. 13.47, is a net drawn round from the shore.
