Mateo 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)

Mateo 4:17 In-Context

15 «Tierra de Zabulón y tierra de Neftalí,camino del mar, al otro lado del Jordán,Galilea de los gentiles;

16 el pueblo que habitaba en la oscuridadha visto una gran luz;sobre los que vivían en densas tinieblasla luz ha resplandecido».

17 Desde entonces comenzó Jesús a predicar: «Arrepiéntanse, porque el reino de los cielos está cerca».

18 Mientras caminaba junto al mar de Galilea, Jesús vio a dos hermanos: uno era Simón, llamado Pedro, y el otro Andrés. Estaban echando la red al lago, pues eran pescadores.

19 «Vengan, síganme —les dijo Jesús—, y los haré pescadores de hombres».
