Matteo 4:17 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 4:17

From that time Jesus began to preach and to say
Not from the time he dwelt in Capernaum; for he had preached in Nazareth before he came there, ( Luke 4:16 Luke 4:31 ) nor from the time of John's being cast into prison; for he had preached, and made disciples, who were baptized by his orders, before John's imprisonment, ( John 3:22 John 3:24-26 ) ( John 4:1 ) but from the time that Satan left tempting him; as soon as that combat was over, immediately he went into Galilee, began to preach, and called his disciples. The words with which he began his ministry are the same with which John begun his; which shows the entire agreement between them, in that they not only preached the same doctrine, but in the same words; (See Gill on Matthew 3:2)

Matteo 4:17 In-Context

15 Il paese di Zabulon e di Neftali, che trae verso il mare, la contrada d’oltre il Giordano, la Galilea de’ Gentili;
16 il popolo che giaceva in tenebre, ha veduta una gran luce; ed a coloro che giacevano nella contrada e nell’ombra della morte, si è levata la luce.
17 Da quel tempo Gesù cominciò a predicare, e a dire: Ravvedetevi, perciocchè il regno de’ cieli è vicino.
18 Or Gesù, passeggiando lungo il mare della Galilea, vide due fratelli: Simone, detto Pietro, e Andrea, suo fratello, i quali gettavano la rete nel mare, perciocchè erano pescatori.
19 E disse loro: Venite dietro a me, ed io vi farò pescatori d’uomini.
