13
and leaving Nazareth He went and settled at Capernaum, a town by the Lake on the frontiers of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14
in order that these words, spoken through the Prophet Isaiah, might be fulfilled,
15
"Zebulun's land and Naphtali's land; the road by the Lake; the country beyond the Jordan; Galilee of the Nations!
16
The people who were dwelling in darkness have seen a brilliant light; and on those who were dwelling in the region of the shadow of death, on them light has dawned."
17
From that time Jesus began to preach. "Repent," He said, "for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand."
18
And walking along the shore of the Lake of Galilee He saw two brothers--Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew--throwing a drag-net into the Lake; for they were fishers.
19
And He said to them, "Come and follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
20
So they immediately left their nets and followed Him. As He went further on,
21
He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zabdi and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zabdi mending their nets; and He called them.
22
And they at once left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
23
Then Jesus travelled through all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity among the people.
