11
So the devil left Jesus, and angels came and took care of him.
12
When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he went back to Galilee.
13
He left Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum, a town near Lake Galilee, in the area near Zebulun and Naphtali.
14
Jesus did this to bring about what the prophet Isaiah had said:
15
"Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali along the sea, beyond the Jordan River. This is Galilee where the non-Jewish people live.
16
These people who live in darkness will see a great light. They live in a place covered with the shadows of death, but a light will shine on them."
17
From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Change your hearts and lives, because the kingdom of heaven is near."
18
As Jesus was walking by Lake Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (called Peter) and his brother Andrew. They were throwing a net into the lake because they were fishermen.
19
Jesus said, "Come follow me, and I will make you fish for people."
20
So Simon and Andrew immediately left their nets and followed him.
21
As Jesus continued walking by Lake Galilee, he saw two other brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. Jesus told them to come with him.
