Matthew 4:15 In-Context

13 He did not stay in Nazareth, but went to live in Capernaum, a town by Lake Galilee, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali.
14 This was done to make come true what the prophet Isaiah had said,
15 "Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, on the road to the sea, on the other side of the Jordan, Galilee, land of the Gentiles!
16 The people who live in darkness will see a great light. On those who live in the dark land of death the light will shine."
17 From that time Jesus began to preach his message: "Turn away from your sins, because the Kingdom of heaven is near!"
