Matthew 4:11-21

11 Then the devil left him, and behold, ¹angels came and were ministering to him.

Jesus Begins His Ministry

12 Now when he heard that ²John had been arrested, ³he withdrew into Galilee.

13 And leaving ⁴Nazareth he went and lived in ⁵Capernaum by ⁶the sea, in the territory of ⁷Zebulun and Naphtali,

14 ⁸so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

15 ⁹"The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles--

16 ¹⁰the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and ¹¹shadow of death, on them a light has dawned."

17 ¹²From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, ¹³"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

Jesus Calls the First Disciples

18 ¹⁴While walking by ¹⁵the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

19 And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you ¹⁶fishers of men."

20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him.

21 And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them.
