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 La tierra de Zabulón, y la tierra de Nephtalim, Camino de la mar, de la otra parte del Jordán, Galilea de los Gentiles;

16 El pueblo asentado en tinieblas, Vió gran luz; Y á los sentados en región y sombra de muerte, Luz les esclareció.

17 Desde entonces comenzó Jesús á predicar, y á decir: Arrepentíos, que el reino de los cielos se ha acercado.

18 Y andando Jesús junto á la mar de Galilea, vió á dos hermanos, Simón, que es llamado Pedro, y Andrés su hermano, que echaban la red en la mar; porque eran pescadores.

19 Y díceles: Venid en pos de mí, y os haré pescadores de hombres.
